II Oihanaalii 30

1 HOOUNA aku la o Hezekia a i ka Iseraela a pau, a me ka Iuda, a kakau no hoi oia i na palapala na ka Eperaima, a me Manase, e hele mai i ka hale o Iehova ma Ierusalema, e hana i ka ahaaina moliaola na Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela.

And Ezekias sent to all Israel and Juda, and wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasse, that they should come into the house of the Lord to Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel.

2 Ua kukakuka pu ke alii a me na alii iho ona, a me ka ahakanaka a pau ma Ierusalema, e hana i ka ahaaina moliaola i ka malama elua.

For the king, and the princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, designed to keep the passover in the second month.

3 No ka mea, aole i hiki ke hanaia ia manawa, no ka mea, aole i huikala pono na kahuna ia lakou iho, aole hoi i akoakoa mai na kanaka ma Ierusalema.

For they could not keep it at that time, because a sufficient number of priest had not purified themselves, and the people was not gathered to Jerusalem.

4 A ua pololei ia mea i na maka o ke alii, a i na maka o ka ahakanaka a pau.

And the proposal pleased the king and the congregation.

5 A kau lakou i ke kanawai, e kukala aku ma Iseraela a pau loa, mai Beereseba a hiki i Dana, e hele mai lakou e hana i ka ahaaina moliaola no Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela ma Ierusalema; no ka mea, ua loihi ka ia ana wa i hana ole ai lakou e like me ka mea i kakauia'i.

And they established a decree that a proclamation should go through all Israel, from Bersabee to Dan, that they should come and keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem: for the multitude had not done it lately according to the scripture.

6 Alaila, hele aku la ka poe kukini me na palapala a ke alii, a me kona poe alii ma Iseraela a pau a me Iuda, e olelo ana e like me ke kauoha a ke alii, E na mamo a Iseraela, e huli mai ia Iehova ke Akua o Aberahama, a me Isaaka, a me Iseraela, a e huli mai no kela i ke koena, i ka poe o oukou i pakele, mai ka lima mai, o na'lii o Asuria.

And the posts went with the letters from the king and the princes to all Israel and Juda, according to the command of the king, saying, Children of Israel, return to the Lord God of Abraam, and Isaac, and Israel, and bring back them that have escaped [even] those that were left of the hand of the king of Assyria.

7 Mai noho oukou e like me ko oukou poe makua, a me ko oukou poe hoahanau, ka poe i lawehala ia Iehova ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna, a haawi oia ia lakou e lukuia mai, e like me ka mea a oukou e ike nei.

And be not as your fathers, and your brethren, who revolted from the Lord God of their fathers, and he gave them up to desolation, as you see.

8 Ano, hooolea oukou i ko oukou a-i e like me ko oukou poe kupuna; e hoolilo ia oukou iho no Iehova, a e komo oukou iloko o kona wahi hoano ana i hoano mau loa ai; a e hookauwa na Iehova ko oukou Akua, i huli ae ka wela o kona huhu mai o oukou aku.

And now harden not your hearts, as your fathers [did]: give glory to the Lord God, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever: and serve the Lord your God, and he shall turn away [his] fierce anger from you.

9 No ka mea, i ko oukou huli ana ia Iehova, e loaa ke alohaia mai i ko oukou poe hoahanau, a me ka oukou poe kamalii imua o ka poe i lawe pio aku ia lakou, a e hoi hou lakou i keia aina; no ka mea, ua ahonui, a ua lokomaikai o Iehova ko oukou Akua, aole e haliu kona maka mai oukou aku, ke huli oukou ia ia.

For when you turn to the Lord, your brethren and your children shall be pitied before all that have carried them captives, and he will restore [you] to this land: for the Lord our God is merciful and pitiful, and will not turn away his face from you, if we return to him.

10 Pela i kaahele ai ka poe kukini mai kekahi kulanakauhale, i kekahi kulanakauhale ma ka aina o Eperaima, a me Manase a hiki i Zebuluna; aka, ua akaaka henehene na kanaka ia lakou me ka hoomaewaewa mai ia lakou.

So the posts went through from city to city in mount Ephraim, and Manasse, and as far as Zabulon: and they as it were laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.

11 Aka, o kekahi poe no Asera, a me Manase, a no Zebuluna, hoohaahaa lakou ia lakou iho, a hele mai i Ierusalema.

But the men of Aser, and [some] of Manasses and of Zabulon, were ashamed, and came to Jerusalem and Juda.

12 A maluna o ka Iuda ka lima o Iehova e haawi ia lakou i ka naau hookahi, e hana i ke kauoha a ke alii, a me na alii iho, e like me ke kanawai o Iehova.

And the hand of the Lord was [present] to give them one heart to come, to do according to the commands of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord.

13 A akoakoa mai la ma Ierusalema na kanaka he nui loa e hana i ka ahaaina berena hu ole, i ka malama elua, he ahakanaka nui loa.

And a great multitude were gathered to Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.

14 Alaila, ku ae la lakou iluna a lawe aku lakou i na kuahu ma Ierusalema, a lawe aku no hoi lakou i na ipuahi, a hoolei ia mau mea iloko o ke kahawai o Kederona.

And they arose, and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all on which they burnt incense to false [gods] they tore down and cast into the brook Kedron.

15 A pepehi lakou i ka mohai moliaola i ka la umikumamaha o ka malama elua; a o na kahuna a me na Levi, ua hilahila lakou, a huikala lakou ia lakou iho, a lawe lakou i na mohaikuni iloko o ka hale o Iehova.

Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites repented, and purified [themselves], and brought whole burnt offerings into the house of the Lord.

16 Ku ae la lakou iluna ma ko lakou wahi e like me ka lakou oihana i kauohaia'i e Mose, ke kanaka o ke Akua; a o na kahuna, kapipi iho la lakou i ke koko i loaa ia lakou ma ka lima o na Levi.

And they stood at their post, according to their ordinance, according to the commandment of Moses the man of God: and the priests received the blood from the hand of the Levites.

17 No ka mea, ua nui ka poe iwaena o ka ahakanaka i huikala ole ia lakou iho; nolaila, aia na Levi maluna o ka pepehi ana i ka mohai moliaola no ka poe maemae ole, i mea e huikala ai ia lakou no Iehova.

For a great part of the congregation was not sanctified; and the Levites were [ready] to kill the passover for every one who could not sanctify himself to the Lord.

18 No ka mea, he lehulehu ka poe kanaka no Eperaima, a me Manase, a me Isekara, a me Zebuluna, aole i huikala lakou ia lakou iho, aka, ai no nae lakou i ka ahaaina moliaola, aole e like me ka mea i kakauia. Aka, pule o Hezekia no lakou, i aku la, E kala mai oe, e Iehova ka maikai,

For the greatest part of the people of Ephraim, and Manasse, and Issachar, and Zabulon, had not purified [themselves], but ate the passover contrary to the scripture. On this account also Ezekias prayed concerning them, saying,

19 I kela mea keia mea i hoomakaukau i kona naau e imi i ke Akua ia Iehova, ke Akua o kona poe kupuna, aole nae i maemae e like me ka huikala ana o ka luakini.

The good Lord be merciful with regard to every heart that sincerely seeks the Lord God of their fathers, and [is] not [purified] according to the purification of the sanctuary.

20 Hoolohe mai o Iehova ia Hezekia, a hoola mai oia i na kanaka.

And the Lord listened to Ezekias, and healed the people.

21 A o ka poe mamo a Iseraela a pau ma Ierusalema, hana lakou i ka ahaaina berena hu ole i na la ehiku, me ka olioli nui: a hoolea aku na kahuna a me na mamo a Levi ia Iehova i kela la i keia la, me na mea kani ikaika ia Iehova.

And the children of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great joy; and they continued to sing hymns to the Lord daily, and the priests and the Levites [played] on instruments to the Lord.

22 Olelo oluolu aku o Hezekia i na Levi a pau, ka poe i ao aku ma ka ike pono ia Iehova: a ai lakou i ka ahaaina i na la ehiku, a mohai aku lakou i na mohai aloha, a hai aku lakou i ko lakou hewa ia Iehova ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna.

And Ezekias encouraged all the Levites, and those that had good understanding of the Lord: and they completely kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days, offering peace-offerings, and confessing to the Lord God of their fathers.

23 A kukakuka pu ka poe ahakanaka a pau e hana i na la ehiku hou aku: a hana no lakou i na la ehiku hou aku me ka olioli.

And the congregation purposed together to keep other seven days: and they kept seven days with gladness.

24 No ka mea, ua haawi o Hezekia ke alii o ka Iuda na ka ahakanaka i hookahi tausani bipi a me na hipa ehiku tausani; a haawi na alii na ka ahakanaka i hookahi tausani bipi, a me na hipa he umi tausani: a o na kahuna he nui loa, huikala lakou ia lakou iho.

For Ezekias set apart for Juda, [even] for the congregation, a thousand calves and seven thousand sheep; and the princes set apart for the people a thousand calves and ten thousand sheep: and the holy things of the priests abundantly.

25 Hauoli no ka ahakanaka a pau o ka Iuda, o na kahuna, a me na Levi, a o ka ahakanaka a pau i hele mai, no ka Iseraela, a me na malihini i hele mai ka aina o Iseraela mai, a me ka poe i noho ma Iuda.

And all the congregation, the priests and the Levites, rejoiced, and all the congregation of Juda, and they that were present of Jerusalem, and the strangers that came from the land of Israel, and the dwellers in Juda.

26 Ua nui ka hauoli ana ma Ierusalema: no ka mea, mai ka wa ia Solomona o ke keiki a Davida ke alii o ka Iseraela mai, aohe mea like ma Ierusalema.

And there was great joy in Jerusalem: from the days of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not such a feast in Jerusalem.

27 Ku ae la iluna na kahuna, a me na Levi, a hoomaikai aku i na kanaka: a ua loheia ko lakou leo, a ua hiki ka lakou pule i kona wahi hoano i ka lani.

Then the priests the Levites rose up and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came into his holy dwelling-place, [even] into heaven.
