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.
1Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Yahweh at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
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.
2For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to keep the Passover in the second month.
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.
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.
4Ary sitraky ny mpanjaka sy ny fiangonana rehetra izany.
4The thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.
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.
5So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover to Yahweh, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: for they had not kept it in great numbers in such sort as it is written.
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.
6So the couriers went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, “You children of Israel, turn again to Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant that have escaped of you out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
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.
7Don’t be like your fathers, and like your brothers, who trespassed against Yahweh, the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as you see.
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.
8Now don’t be stiff-necked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves to Yahweh, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified forever, and serve Yahweh your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.
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.
9For if you turn again to Yahweh, your brothers and your children shall find compassion before those who led them captive, and shall come again into this land: for Yahweh your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him.”
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.
10So the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun: but they ridiculed them, and mocked them.
11Kanefa kosa ny tamin'ny Asera sy ny Manase ary ny Zebolona dia nisy ihany nanetry tena ka tonga tany Jerosalema.
11Nevertheless certain men of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
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.
12Also on 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 Yahweh.
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.
13Many people assembled at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly.
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.
14They 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.
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.
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 Yahweh.
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.
16They 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.
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.
17For 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 Yahweh.
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
18For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover otherwise than it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, “May the good Yahweh pardon everyone
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.
19who sets his heart to seek God, Yahweh, the God of his fathers, even if they aren’t clean according to the purification of the sanctuary.”
20Ary Jehovah nihaino an'i Hezekia ka nahasitrana ny olona.
20Yahweh listened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
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]
21The children of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised Yahweh day by day, singing with loud instruments to Yahweh.
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.
22Hezekiah spoke comfortably to all the Levites who had good understanding in the service of Yahweh. So they ate throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace offerings, and making confession to Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
23Ary ny fiangonana rehetra niara-nihevitra ny amin'ny hitandremana hafitoana indray; ka dia mbola nitandrina hafitoana koa tamin'ny hafaliana izy.
23The whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days; and they kept another seven days with gladness.
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.
24For 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.
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.
25All 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 to heaven.
