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

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

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

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

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

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

⁴فحسن الأمر في عيني الملك وعيون كل الجماعة.

⁴And the thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.

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.

⁵So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: for they had not kept it in great numbers in such sort as it is written.

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.

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 Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant that are escaped of you out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

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

⁷And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, who trespassed against Jehovah, the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as ye see.

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

⁸Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves unto Jehovah, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever, and serve Jehovah your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

¹²Also upon Judah came the hand of God to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by the word of Jehovah.

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

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

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

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.

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

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 burnt-offerings into the house of Jehovah.

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

¹⁶And 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.

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

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

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

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 is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, The good Jehovah pardon every one

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

¹⁹that setteth his heart to seek God, Jehovah, the God of his fathers, though [he be] not [cleansed] according to the purification of the sanctuary.

²⁰فسمع الرب لحزقيا وشفى الشعب

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

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

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 Jehovah day by day, [singing] with loud instruments unto Jehovah.

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

²²And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that had good understanding [in the service] of Jehovah. So they did eat throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace-offerings, and making confession to Jehovah, the God of their fathers.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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