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 hold the passover to Jehovah the God of Israel.

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

²And the king took counsel, and his princes, and the whole congregation in Jerusalem, to hold 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 hallowed themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people been gathered together to Jerusalem.

⁴فحسن الأمر في عيني الملك وعيون كل الجماعة.

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

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 Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to hold the passover to Jehovah the God of Israel, at Jerusalem; because they had not held it for a long time as it was 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.

⁶And the couriers went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, return to Jehovah the 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.

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

⁷And be not like your fathers and like your brethren, who transgressed 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, harden not your necks, as your fathers; yield yourselves to Jehovah, and come to his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever; and serve Jehovah your God, that the fierceness of his 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 return to Jehovah, your brethren and your children shall find compassion with those that have carried them captive, so that they shall come again unto this land; for Jehovah your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return to him.

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

¹⁰And the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun; but they laughed them to scorn and mocked them.

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

¹¹Nevertheless certain 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.

¹²The hand of God was also upon Judah 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 hold the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.

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

¹⁴And they rose up and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem; and they took away all the incense-altars, and cast them into the torrent Kidron.

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

¹⁵And they slaughtered the passover on the fourteenth of the second month; and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and hallowed themselves; and they brought the 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 custom, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood [receiving it] from 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 congregation that were not hallowed; therefore the Levites had the charge of the slaughtering of the passover-lambs for every one not clean, to hallow 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, many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, and they ate the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them saying, Jehovah, who is good, forgive every one

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

¹⁹that has directed his heart to seek God, Jehovah the God of his fathers, although not 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, held the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised Jehovah day by day, with the instruments of praise to Jehovah.

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

²²And Hezekiah spoke consolingly to all the Levites that had understanding in the good knowledge of Jehovah; and they ate the feast-offerings the seven days, sacrificing peace-offerings, and extolling Jehovah the God of their fathers.

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

²³And the whole congregation took counsel to observe other seven days; and they observed the 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 gave to the congregation as heave-offering: 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 hallowed themselves.

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

²⁵And the whole 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.

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

²⁶And there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, there had not been the like in Jerusalem.

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

²⁷And the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people; and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, to the heavens.
