Luo Chronicle 30
1 Hezekiah el supwalik kas nu fin acn Israel ac Judah nufon, ac el oayapa simusla leta ac supwala nu sin sruf lal Ephraim ac sruf lal Manasseh, tuh elos in tuku nu ke Tempul in Jerusalem, in oru Kufwen Alukela nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel.
Hezekiah sent messengers to all Israel and Judah, and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Yahweh in Jerusalem, to celebrate the Passover to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
2 Tokosra ac mwet pwapa lal, ac mwet nukewa su tukeni in acn Jerusalem, elos insesela tuh Kufwen Alukela in orek ke malem se akluo.
For the king, his leaders, and all the assembly in Jerusalem had consulted together, deciding to celebrate the Passover in the second month.
3 Elos tuh tia ku in oru ke pacl fal, ke sripen supus mwet tol su aknasnasyeyukla, ac oayapa supus mwet toeni nu Jerusalem.
They could not celebrate at the regular time, because not enough priests had consecrated themselves for the celebration and the people had not gathered together in Jerusalem.
4 Tokosra ac mwet uh insewowo ke oakwuk se elos orala inge.
This proposal seemed right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.
5 Ke ma inge, elos suli mwet Israel nukewa, liki Dan in acn epang nwe Beersheba in acn eir, tuh elos in tukeni nu Jerusalem ac akfulatye Kufwen Alukela in fal nu ke Ma Sap. Enenu in pus mwet tukeni in pacl se inge liki pacl nukewa meet.
So they agreed to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that the people should come to celebrate the Passover to Yahweh, the God of Israel, in Jerusalem. For they had not observed it with large numbers of people according to what was written.
6 Tokosra ac mwet pwapa lal elos supwala mwet utuk kas nu yen nukewa in Judah ac Israel. Pa inge ma elos sulkakin: “Mwet Israel, kowos moulla liki poun mwet Assyria ke elos tuh mweuni ac kutangla facl sesr. Inge kowos foloko nu yurin LEUM GOD lal Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob, ac El ac fah folokot nu yuruwos.
So couriers went with the letters from the king and his leaders throughout all Israel and Judah, by the command of the king. They said, “You people of Israel, turn back to Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that he may turn back to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.
7 Nimet oana papa tomowos ac mwet Israel wiowos su tia pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD lalos. Kowos sifacna liye lah El sang kai upa nu selos.
Do not be like your ancestors or your brothers, who trespassed against Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, so that he made them an object of horror, as you see.
8 Nik kowos likkeke oana elos, a kowos in akos LEUM GOD. Fahsru nu ke Tempul in acn Jerusalem, yen LEUM GOD lowos El orala in mutal nwe tok, ac alu nu sel, tuh Elan tia sifil kasrkusrak suwos.
Now do not be stubborn, as your ancestors were; instead, give yourselves to Yahweh and come into his holy place, which he has consecrated forever, and worship Yahweh your God, so that his fierce anger may turn away from you.
9 Kowos fin foloko nu yurin LEUM GOD na mwet su usla mwet wiowos nu in sruoh elos ac fah pakomutalos ac folokunulos nu yen selos. LEUM GOD lowos El kulang ac pakoten, ac kowos fin foloko nu yorol, El ac fah tia ngetla liki kowos.”
For if you turn back to Yahweh, your brothers and children will find compassion before those who led them away as prisoners, and they will come back into this land. For Yahweh your God, is gracious and merciful, and will not turn his face away from you, if you return to him.”
10 Mwet utuk kas elos som nu in siti nukewa in acn lun sruf lal Ephraim ac Manasseh, ac elos som na nwe layen epang nu ke sruf lal Zebulun, a mwet we isrunulos ac aksruksrukelos.
So the couriers passed from city to city throughout the regions of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the way to Zebulun, but the people laughed at them and mocked them.
11 Tusruktu oasr na mwet in sruf lal Asher, Manasseh, ac Zebulun, su lungse tuku nu Jerusalem.
However, certain men of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
12 God El oayapa oru tuh mwet in acn Judah in nunak sefanna ac engan in oru ma lungse lal ke elos akos ma tokosra ac mwet pwapa lal sapkin nu selos.
The hand of God also came on Judah, to give them one heart, to carry out the command of the king and leaders by the word of Yahweh.
13 Mwet puspis tukeni nu Jerusalem in malem akluo in akfulatye Kufwen Bread Tia Akpulol.
Many people, a very great assembly, gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread in the second month.
14 Elos usla loang nukewa in Jerusalem su tuh orekmakinyuk nu ke kisa ac nu ke akosak ma keng, ac sisla Infahlfal Kidron.
They rose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense; they threw them into the brook Kidron.
15 Ac ke len aksingoul akosr in malem sac, elos uniya sheep fusr nu ke Kufwen Alukela. Mwet tol ac mwet Levi su tia aknasnasla elos mwekin, na elos sifacna kisakunulosyang nu sin LEUM GOD, na toko elos fah ku in kisakin mwe kisa firir in Tempul.
Then they killed the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and Levites were ashamed, so they consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings into the house of Yahweh.
16 Elos tu ke acn selos in Tempul, fal nu ke ma oakwuk in Ma Sap lal Moses, mwet lun God. Mwet Levi elos sang nu sin mwet tol srah ke ma kisakinyukla, tuh elos in sang aksroksrokye loang uh.
They stood in their place by their divisions, following the directions given in the law of Moses, the man of God. The priests sprinkled the blood that they received from the hand of the Levites.
17 Na ke sripen pus mwet uh tia aknasnasla, elos tia ku in uniya sheep fusr nu ke Kufwen Alukela. Ouinge mwet Levi elos aolulos in orala, ac kisakunla sheep fusr inge nu sin LEUM GOD.
For there were many in the assembly who had not consecrated themselves. Therefore the Levites slaughtered the Passover lambs for everyone who was not purified and could not consecrate their sacrifice to Yahweh.
18 Sayen ma inge, pus sin mwet su tuku in sruf lal Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, ac Zebulun, tiana aknasnasla, tusruktu elos wi mongo ke kufwa uh, ac ma inge sie liki ma oakwuk in ma simusla. Tokosra Hezekiah el pre kaclos ac fahk,
For a great many of the people, many of them from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover meal, against the written instructions. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, “May the good Yahweh pardon everyone
19 “O LEUM GOD lun papa matu tumasr, ke lungkulang lulap lom, nunak munas nu selos inge su alu nu sum ke insialos kewa, elos finne tia aknasnasyalos.”
who sets his heart to seek God, Yahweh, the God of his ancestors, even though he is not purified by the purification standards of the holy place.”
20 LEUM GOD El lohng pre lal Hezekiah, ac El nunak munas nu selos.
So Yahweh listened to Hezekiah and healed the people.
21 Mwet su tukeni in acn Jerusalem, elos akfulatye Kufwen Bread Tia Akpulol ke len itkosr ac elos engan ma lulap. Len nu len mwet Levi ac mwet tol elos kaksakin LEUM GOD ke kuiyalos nufon.
The people of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great joy. The Levites and the priests praised Yahweh day after day, singing with loud instruments to Yahweh.
22 Hezekiah el kaksakin mwet Levi ke elos arulana pah in kol alu nu sin LEUM GOD. Tukun len itkosr ma elos oru kisa in kaksak lalos nu sin LEUM GOD lun mwet matu lalos meet ah,
Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites who understood the service of Yahweh. So they ate throughout the festival for the seven days, offering sacrifices of fellowship offerings, and making confession to Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.
23 na elos nukewa insese in sifilpa oru akfulat lalos ke len itkosr pac, ouinge elos tafwela akfulat lalos wi engan lulap.
The whole assembly then decided to celebrate for another seven days, and they did so with joy.
24 Tokosra Hezekiah el sang sie tausin cow mukul ac itkosr tausin sheep tuh mwet uh in uniya ac mongo kac. Ac mwet pwapa lal srukak pac sie tausin cow mukul ac singoul tausin sheep. Sie u na lulap sin mwet tol elos aknasnasyalosla sifacna.
For Hezekiah king of Judah gave the assembly one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep as an offering; and the leaders gave to the assembly one thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep and goats. A large number of priests consecrated themselves.
25 Ouinge mwet nukewa engan — mwet Judah, mwet tol, mwet Levi, mwet su tuku in acn epang me, oayapa mwetsac su mutana in acn Israel ac Judah.
All the assembly of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the people who came together from Israel, as well as the foreigners who came from the land of Israel and those who lived in Judah—they all rejoiced.
26 Siti Jerusalem sessesla ke engan, mweyen soenna oasr pacl ma ouiya inge orek oe ke pacl lal Tokosra Solomon, wen natul David, nwe inge.
So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon son of David, king of Israel, there had not been anything like it in Jerusalem.
27 Mwet tol ac mwet Levi siyuk ke akinsewowo lun LEUM GOD nu sin mwet uh. LEUM GOD El muta in acn sel inkusrao ac lohng pre lalos, ac El insese nu kac.
Then the priests, the Levites, rose and blessed the people. Their voice was heard, and their prayer went up to heaven, the holy place where God lives.
