¹And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel.

¹وارسل حزقيا الى جميع اسرائيل ويهوذا وكتب ايضا رسائل الى افرايم ومنسّى ان يأتوا الى بيت الرب في اورشليم ليعملوا فصحا للرب اله اسرائيل.

²For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.

²فتشاور الملك ورؤساؤه وكل الجماعة في اورشليم ان يعملوا الفصح في الشهر الثاني

³For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.

³لانهم لم يقدروا ان يعملوه في ذلك الوقت لان الكهنة لم يتقدسوا بالكفاية والشعب لم يجتمعوا الى اورشليم.

⁴And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.

⁴فحسن الأمر في عيني الملك وعيون كل الجماعة.

⁵So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written.

⁵فاعتمدوا على اطلاق النداء في جميع اسرائيل من بئر سبع الى دان ان يأتوا لعمل الفصح للرب اله اسرائيل في اورشليم لانهم لم يعملوه كما هو مكتوب منذ زمان كثير.

⁶So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

⁶فذهب السعاة بالرسائل من يد الملك ورؤسائه في جميع اسرائيل ويهوذا وحسب وصية الملك كانوا يقولون يا بني اسرائيل ارجعوا الى الرب اله ابراهيم واسحق واسرائيل فيرجع الى الناجين الباقين لكم من يد ملوك اشور.

⁷And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.

⁷ولا تكونوا كآبائكم وكاخوتكم الذين خانوا الرب اله آبائهم فجعلهم دهشة كما انتم ترون.

⁸Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.

⁸الآن لا تصلّبوا رقابكم كآبائكم بل اخضعوا للرب وادخلوا مقدسه الذي قدسه الى الابد واعبدوا الرب الهكم فيرتدّ عنكم حمو غضبه.

⁹For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.

⁹لانه برجوعكم الى الرب يجد اخوتكم وبنوكم رحمة امام الذين يسبونهم فيرجعون الى هذه الارض لان الرب الهكم حنّان ورحيم ولا يحوّل وجهه عنكم اذا رجعتم اليه

¹⁰So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.

¹⁰فكان السعاة يعبرون من مدينة الى مدينة في ارض افرايم ومنسّى حتى زبولون فكانوا يضحكون عليهم ويهزأون بهم.

¹¹Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.

¹¹الا ان قوم من اشير ومنسّى وزبولون تواضعوا وأتوا الى اورشليم.

¹²Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.

¹²وكانت يد الله في يهوذا ايضا فاعطاهم قلبا واحدا ليعملوا بأمر الملك والرؤساء حسب قول الرب.

¹³And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.

¹³فاجتمع الى اورشليم شعب كثير لعمل عيد الفطير في الشهر الثاني جماعة كثيرة جدا.

¹⁴And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.

¹⁴وقاموا وازالوا المذابح التي في اورشليم وازالوا كل مذابح التبخير وطرحوها الى وادي قدرون.

¹⁵Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.

¹⁵وذبحوا الفصح في الرابع عشر من الشهر الثاني والكهنة واللاويون خجلوا وتقدسوا وادخلوا المحرقات الى بيت الرب.

¹⁶And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.

¹⁶واقاموا على مقامهم حسب حكمهم كناموس موسى رجل الله. كان الكهنة يرشون الدم من يد اللاويين.

¹⁷For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the LORD.

¹⁷لانه كان كثيرون في الجماعة لم يتقدسوا فكان اللاويون على ذبح الفصح عن كل من ليس بطاهر لتقديسهم للرب.

¹⁸For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one

¹⁸لان كثيرين من الشعب كثيرين من افرايم ومنسّى ويساكر وزبولون لم يتطهروا بل اكلوا الفصح ليس كما هو مكتوب. الا ان حزقيا صلّى عنهم قائلا الرب الصالح يكفّر عن

¹⁹That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.

¹⁹كل من هيّأ قلبه لطلب الله الرب اله آبائه وليس كطهارة القدس.

²⁰And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.

²⁰فسمع الرب لحزقيا وشفى الشعب

²¹And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD.

²¹وعمل بنو اسرائيل الموجودون في اورشليم عيد الفطير سبعة ايام بفرح عظيم وكان اللاويون والكهنة يسبّحون الرب يوما فيوما بآلات حمد للرب.

²²And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.

²²وطيب حزقيا قلوب جميع اللاويين الفطنين فطنة صالحة للرب وأكلوا الموسم سبعة ايام يذبحون ذبائح سلامة ويحمدون الرب اله آبائهم.

²³And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness.

²³وتشاور كل الجماعة ان يعملوا سبعة ايام اخرى فعملوا سبعة ايام بفرح.

²⁴For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.

²⁴لان حزقيا ملك يهوذا قدم للجماعة الف ثور وسبعة آلاف من الضأن والرؤساء قدموا للجماعة الف ثور وعشرة آلاف من الضأن وتقدس كثيرون من الكهنة.

²⁵And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.

²⁵وفرح كل جماعة يهوذا والكهنة واللاويون وكل الجماعة الآتين من اسرائيل والغرباء الآتون من ارض اسرائيل والساكنون في يهوذا.

²⁶So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.

²⁶وكان فرح عظيم في اورشليم لانه من ايام سليمان بن داود ملك اسرائيل لم يكن كهذا في اورشليم.

²⁷Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.

²⁷وقام الكهنة اللاويون وباركوا الشعب فسمع صوتهم ودخلت صلاتهم الى مسكن قدسه الى السماء
