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.

¹[Ny nitandreman'i Hezekia sy ny vahoaka ny Paska] 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.

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

²Fa ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka mbamin'ny fiangonana rehetra tany Jerosalema dia niara-nihevitra ny amin'ny hitandremana ny Paska amin'ny volana faharoa.

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.

³Nefa 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.

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

⁴Ary sitraky ny mpanjaka sy ny fiangonana rehetra izany.

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.

⁵Dia 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.

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.

⁶Dia 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.

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.

⁷Aza manahaka ny rainareo sy ny rahalahinareo izay nivadika tamin'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, ka dia natolony ho figagana araka izao hitanareo izao izy.

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.

⁸Koa aza manamafy ny hatokareo toy ny nataon'ny razanareo, fa atolory an'i Jehovah ny tananareo, ka midìra ao amin'ny fitoerany masina, izay nohamasininy ho mandrakizay; ary manompoa an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, mba hiala aminareo ny fahatezerany mirehitra.

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.

⁹Fa 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.

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.

¹⁰Ary 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.

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

¹¹Kanefa kosa ny tamin'ny Asera sy ny Manase ary ny Zebolona dia nisy ihany nanetry tena ka tonga tany Jerosalema.

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.

¹²Ary 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.

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

¹³Ary 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.

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.

¹⁴Ary 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.

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.

¹⁵Dia 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.

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.

¹⁶Ary 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.

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.

¹⁷Fa 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.

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

¹⁸Fa 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

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.

¹⁹izay rehetra efa nampiomana ny fony hitady an'Andriamanitra, dia Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, na dia tsy madio araka ny fahadiovan'ny fitoerana masina aza izy.

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

²⁰Ary Jehovah nihaino an'i Hezekia ka nahasitrana ny olona.

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.

²¹Ary 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. [Na: fiderana]

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.

²²Ary 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.

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

²³Ary ny fiangonana rehetra niara-nihevitra ny amin'ny hitandremana hafitoana indray; ka dia mbola nitandrina hafitoana koa tamin'ny hafaliana izy.

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.

²⁴Fa 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.

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.

²⁵Ary 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.

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.

²⁶Koa 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.Dia nitsangana ny Levita sy ny mpisorona ka nitso-drano ny olona; ary nohenoin'Andriamanitra ny feony, ka niakatra ho any an-danitra, fonenany masina, ny fivavany.

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.

²⁷Dia nitsangana ny Levita sy ny mpisorona ka nitso-drano ny olona; ary nohenoin'Andriamanitra ny feony, ka niakatra ho any an-danitra, fonenany masina, ny fivavany.
