2 Tantara 30
1 Ary Hezekia naniraka tany amin’ ny Isiraely sy ny Joda rehetra ka nanoratra taratasy ho amin’ ny Efraima sy ny Manase koa mba hankanesany any an-tranon’ i Jehovah any Jerosalema hitandrina ny Paska ho an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.
Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the LORD’s house at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel.
2 Fa ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka mbamin’ ny fiangonana rehetra tany Jerosalema dia niara-nihevitra ny amin’ ny hitandremana ny Paska amin’ ny volana faharoa.
For the king had taken counsel with his princes and all the assembly in Jerusalem to keep the Passover in the second month.
3 Nefa tsy nahatandrina azy tamin’ izany andro izany izy, satria ny mpisorona tsy mbola nanamasina ny tenany loatra, ary ny olona koa tsy mbola vory tany Jerosalema.
For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, and the people had not gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
4 Ary sitraky ny mpanjaka sy ny fiangonana rehetra izany.
The thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.
5 Dia nandidy handefa teny eran’ ny Isiraely rehetra hatrany Beri-sheba ka hatrany Dana izy mba hankanesan’ ny olona hitandrina ny Paska ho an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, any Jerosalema; fa ny be sy ny maro tsy mba nitandrina azy araka ny voasoratra.
So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem, for they had not kept it in great numbers in the way it is written.
6 Dia lasa ny tsimandoa nitondra ny taratasy avy tamin’ ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka hitety ny Isiraely sy ny Joda rehetra ka nilaza araka ny didin’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Ry zanak’ isiraely ô, miverena amin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Isiraely, mba hiverenany ho amin’ izay sisa aminareo izay tsy azon’ ny tànan’ ireo mpanjakan’ i Asyria.
So the couriers went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, according to the commandment of the king, saying, “You children of Israel, turn again to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant of you that have escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
7 Aza manahaka ny rainareo sy ny rahalahinareo izay nivadika tamin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, ka dia natolony ho figagana araka izao hitanareo izao izy.
Don’t be like your fathers and like your brothers, who trespassed against the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as you see.
8 Koa aza manamafy ny hatokareo toy ny nataon’ ny razanareo, fa atolory an’ i Jehovah ny tananareo, ka midìra ao amin’ ny fitoerany masìna, izay nohamasininy ho mandrakizay; ary manompoa an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, mba hiala aminareo ny fahatezerany mirehitra.
Now don’t be stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified forever, and serve the LORD your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.
9 Fa raha miverina amin’ i Jehovah ianareo, dia hahazo famindram-po eo anatrehan’ izay nitondra azy ho babo ny rahalahinareo sy ny zanakareo, ka dia ho tafaverina amin’ ity tany ity izy; fa miantra sy mamindra fo Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, ary tsy mba hiamboho anareo Izy, raha miverina aminy ianareo.
For if you turn again to the LORD, your brothers and your children will find compassion with those who led them captive, and will come again into this land, because the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you if you return to him.”
10 Ary ny tsimandoa nitety ny tanàna hatrany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Efraima sy ny Manase ka hatrany amin’ ny Zebolona; fa nihomehezan’ ny olona sy novazivaziny foana izy.
So the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun, but people ridiculed them and mocked them.
11 Kanefa kosa ny tamin’ ny Asera sy ny Manase ary ny Zebolona dia nisy ihany nanetry tena ka tonga tany Jerosalema.
Nevertheless some men of Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
12 Ary ny tànan’ Andriamanitra dia napetrany tamin’ ny Joda koa mba hanome azy fo iray hankatò ny didin’ ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka noho ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
Also the hand of God came on Judah to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by the LORD’s word.
13 Ary tamin’ ny volana faharoa dia nisy olona maro nivory tany Jerosalema hitandrina ny andro firavoravoana fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira, dia fivoriana lehibe tokoa.
Many people assembled at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly.
14 Ary nitsangana izy, dia nandrava ireo alitara tany Jerosalema; ary ny alitara fandoroana ditin-kazo manitra rehetra dia noravany koa ka nariany tany amin’ ny lohasahan-driaka Kidrona.
They arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and they took away all the altars for incense and threw them into the brook Kidron.
15 Dia namono ny Paska izy tamin’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana faharoa; ary menatra, ny mpisorona sy ny Levita, dia nanamasina ny tenany ka nampiditra ny fanatitra dorana ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
Then they killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt offerings into the LORD’s house.
16 Ary nitsangana teo amin’ ny fitoerany tahaka ny fanao izy, araka ny lalàn’ i Mosesy, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra; ary ny mpisorona nanopy ny rà izay teny an-tànan’ ny Levita.
They stood in their place after their order, according to the law of Moses the man of God. The priests sprinkled the blood which they received of the hand of the Levites.
17 Fa nisy maro tao amin’ ny fiangonana izay tsy mba nanamasina ny tenany, ka dia ny Levita no nampamonoina ny Paska hisolo izay rehetra tsy madio mba hanamasina azy ho an’ i Jehovah.
For there were many in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves; therefore the Levites were in charge of killing the Passovers for everyone who was not clean, to sanctify them to the LORD.
18 Fa nisy olona betsaka, dia maro avy tamin’ ny Efraima sy ny Manase sy ny Isakara ary ny Zebolona, no tsy mba nanadio ny tenany, kanefa nihinana ny Paska ihany izy, fa tsy araka izay voasoratra. Ary Hezekia nivavaka ho an’ ireny ka nanao hoe: Jehovah tsara ô, mamelà
For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover other than the way it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, “May the good LORD pardon everyone
19 izay rehetra efa nampiomana ny fony hitady an’ Andriamanitra, dia Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, na dia tsy madio araka ny fahadiovan’ ny fitoerana masìna aza izy.
who sets his heart to seek God, the LORD, the God of his fathers, even if they aren’t clean according to the purification of the sanctuary.”
20 Ary Jehovah nihaino an’ i Hezekia ka nahasitrana ny olona.
The LORD listened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
21 Ary ny Zanak’ isiraely izay tany Jerosalema dia nitandrina hafitoana ny andro firavoravoana fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira tamin’ ny fifaliana lehibe; ary ny Levita sy ny mpisorona nidera an’ i Jehovah isan’ andro sady nampaneno zavatra mafy faneno ho an’ i Jehovah.
The children of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness. The Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments to the LORD.
22 Ary Hezekia dia nankasitraka ny Levita rehetra, izay nanana fahaizana ho an’ i Jehovah; ary nihinana ny Paska hafitoana izy sady nanatitra fanati-pihavanana koa sy nisaotra an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany.
Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites who had good understanding in the service of the LORD. So they ate throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace offerings and making confession to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
23 Ary ny fiangonana rehetra niara-nihevitra ny amin’ ny hitandremana hafitoana indray; ka dia mbola nitandrina hafitoana koa tamin’ ny hafaliana izy.
The whole assembly took counsel to keep another seven days, and they kept another seven days with gladness.
24 Fa Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nanome vantotr’ ombilahy arivo sy ondry aman’ osy fito arivo ho an’ ny fiangonana; ary ny mpanapaka koa nanome vantotr’ ombilahy arivo sy ondry aman’ osy iray alina ho an’ ny fiangonana; ary maro ny mpisorona no nanamasina ny tenany.
For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the assembly for offerings one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
25 Ary faly ny fiangonana, dia ny Joda rehetra sy ny mpisorona sy ny Levita sy izay rehetra tafangona avy tamin’ ny Isiraely mbamin’ ny vahiny izay avy tany amin’ ny tany Isiraely ary izay nonina tany Joda.
All the assembly of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the assembly who came out of Israel, and the foreigners who came out of the land of Israel and who lived in Judah, rejoiced.
26 Koa nisy fifaliana be tany Jerosalema; fa hatramin’ ny andron’ i Solomona, zanak’ i Davida, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, dia tsy mbola nisy tahaka izany tany Jerosalema.
So there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was nothing like this in Jerusalem.
27 Dia nitsangana ny Levita sy ny mpisorona ka nitso-drano ny olona; ary nohenoin’ Andriamanitra ny feony, ka niakatra ho any an-danitra, fonenany masìna, ny fivavany.
Then the Levitical priests arose and blessed the people. Their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even to heaven.
