Berean Standard Bible
1希西家 差遣人去見 以色列 和 猶大 眾人，又寫信給 以法蓮 和 瑪拿西 人，叫他們到 耶路撒冷 耶和華的殿，向耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝守逾越節；
1Then Hezekiah sent word throughout all Israel and Judah, and he also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh inviting them to come to the house of the LORD in Jerusalem to keep the Passover of the LORD, the God of Israel.
2因為王和眾首領，並 耶路撒冷 全會眾已經商議，要在二月內守逾越節。
2For the king and his officials and the whole assembly in Jerusalem had decided to keep the Passover in the second month,
3正月間他們不能守；因為自潔的祭司尚不敷用，百姓也沒有聚集在 耶路撒冷 ；
3since they had been unable to observe it at the regular time, because not enough priests had consecrated themselves and the people had not been gathered in Jerusalem.
4王與全會眾都以這事為善。
4This proposal pleased the king and the whole assembly.
5於是定了命令，傳遍 以色列 ，從 別是巴 直到 但 ，使他們都來，在 耶路撒冷 向耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝守逾越節；因為照所寫的例，守這節的不多了。
5So they established a decree to circulate a proclamation throughout Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that the people should come to keep the Passover of the LORD, the God of Israel, in Jerusalem. For they had not observed it as a nation as prescribed.
6驛卒就把王和眾首領的信，遵着王命傳遍 以色列 和 猶大 。信內說：「 以色列 人哪，你們當轉向耶和華－ 亞伯拉罕 、 以撒 、 以色列 的上帝，好叫他轉向你們這脫離 亞述 王手的餘民。
6So the couriers went throughout Israel and Judah with letters from the king and his officials, which read: “Children of Israel, return to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that He may return to those of you who remain, who have escaped the grasp of the kings of Assyria.
7你們不要效法你們列祖和你們的弟兄；他們干犯耶和華－他們列祖的上帝，以致耶和華丟棄他們，使他們敗亡，正如你們所見的。
7Do not be like your fathers and brothers who were unfaithful to the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that He made them an object of horror, as you can see.
8現在不要像你們列祖硬着頸項，只要歸順耶和華，進入他的聖所，就是永遠成聖的居所；又要事奉耶和華－你們的上帝，好使他的烈怒轉離你們。
8Now do not stiffen your necks as your fathers did. Submit to the LORD and come to His sanctuary, which He has consecrated forever. Serve the LORD your God, so that His fierce anger will turn away from you.
9你們若轉向耶和華，你們的弟兄和兒女必在擄掠他們的人面前蒙憐恤，得以歸回這地，因為耶和華－你們的上帝有恩典、施憐憫。你們若轉向他，他必不轉臉不顧你們。」
9For if you return to the LORD, your brothers and sons will receive mercy in the presence of their captors and will return to this land. For the LORD your God is gracious and merciful; He will not turn His face away from you if you return to Him.”
10驛卒就由這城跑到那城，傳遍了 以法蓮 、 瑪拿西 ，直到 西布倫 。那裏的人卻戲笑他們，譏誚他們。
10And the couriers traveled from city to city through the land of Ephraim and Manasseh as far as Zebulun; but the people scorned and mocked them.
11然而 亞設 、 瑪拿西 、 西布倫 中也有人自卑，來到 耶路撒冷 。
11Nevertheless, some from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
12上帝也感動 猶大 人，使他們一心遵行王與眾首領憑耶和華之言所發的命令。
12Moreover, the power of God was on the people in Judah to give them one heart to obey the command of the king and his officials according to the word of the LORD.
13二月，有許多人在 耶路撒冷 聚集，成為大會，要守除酵節。
13In the second month, a very great assembly gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
14他們起來，把 耶路撒冷 的祭壇和燒香的壇盡都除去，拋在 汲淪溪 中。
14They proceeded to remove the altars in Jerusalem and to take away the incense altars and throw them into the Kidron Valley.
15二月十四日，宰了逾越節 的羊羔 。祭司與 利未 人覺得慚愧，就潔淨自己，把燔祭奉到耶和華殿中，
15And on the fourteenth day of the second month they slaughtered the Passover lamb. The priests and Levites were ashamed, and they consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings to the house of the LORD.
16遵着神人 摩西 的律法，照例站在自己的地方；祭司從 利未 人手裏 接過 血來，灑在壇上。
16They stood at their prescribed posts, according to the Law of Moses the man of God. The priests sprinkled the blood, which they received from the hand of the Levites.
17會中有許多人尚未自潔，所以 利未 人為一切不潔之人宰逾越節 的羊羔 ，使他們在耶和華面前成為聖潔。
17Since there were many in the assembly who had not consecrated themselves, the Levites were in charge of slaughtering the Passover lambs for every unclean person to consecrate the lambs to the LORD.
18以法蓮 、 瑪拿西 、 以薩迦 、 西布倫 有許多人尚未自潔，他們卻也吃逾越節 的羊羔 ，不合所記錄的定例。 希西家 為他們禱告說：「凡專心尋求上帝，就是耶和華－他列祖之上帝的，雖不照着聖所潔淨之禮 自潔 ，求至善的耶和華也饒恕他。」
18A large number of the people—many from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun—had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover, contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah interceded for them, saying, “May the LORD, who is good, provide atonement for everyone
no verse 19 in this text
19who sets his heart on seeking God—the LORD, the God of his fathers—even if he is not cleansed according to the purification rules of the sanctuary.”
20耶和華垂聽 希西家 的禱告，就饒恕百姓。
20And the LORD heard Hezekiah and healed the people.
21在 耶路撒冷 的 以色列 人大大喜樂，守除酵節七日。 利未 人和祭司用響亮的樂器，日日頌讚耶和華。
21The Israelites who were present in Jerusalem celebrated the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great joy, and the Levites and priests praised the LORD day after day, accompanied by loud instruments of praise to the LORD.
22希西家 慰勞一切善於 事奉 耶和華的 利未 人。於是眾人吃節筵七日，又獻平安祭，且向耶和華－他們列祖的上帝認罪。
22And Hezekiah encouraged all the Levites who performed skillfully before the LORD. For seven days they ate their assigned portion, sacrificing fellowship offerings and giving thanks to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
23全會眾商議，要再守節七日；於是歡歡喜喜地又守節七日。
23The whole assembly agreed to observe seven more days, so they observed seven days with joy.
24猶大 王 希西家 賜給會眾公牛一千隻，羊七千隻為祭物；眾首領也賜給會眾公牛一千隻，羊一萬隻，並有許多的祭司潔淨自己。
24For Hezekiah king of Judah contributed a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep for the assembly, and the officials contributed a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep for the assembly, and a great number of priests consecrated themselves.
25猶大 全會眾、祭司、 利未 人，並那從 以色列 地來的會眾和寄居的人，以及 猶大 寄居的人，盡都喜樂。
25Then the whole assembly of Judah rejoiced along with the priests and Levites and the whole assembly that had come from Israel, including the foreigners who had come from Israel and those who lived in Judah.
26這樣，在 耶路撒冷 大有喜樂，自從 以色列 王 大衛 兒子 所羅門 的時候，在 耶路撒冷 沒有這樣的喜樂。
26So there was great rejoicing in Jerusalem, for nothing like this had happened there since the days of Solomon son of David king of Israel.
27那時，祭司、 利未 人起來，為民祝福。他們的聲音蒙上帝垂聽，他們的禱告達到天上的聖所。
27Then the priests and the Levites stood to bless the people, and God heard their voice, and their prayer came into His holy dwelling place in heaven.
