1And Ezechias sent to all Israel and Juda: and he wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasses, that they should come to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, and keep the phase to the Lord the God of Israel.
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；
2For the king, taking counsel, and the princes, and all the assembly of Jerusalem, decreed to keep the phase the second month.
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。
3For they could not keep it in its time; because there were not priests enough sanctified, and the people was not as yet gathered together to Jerusalem.
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 ；
4And the thing pleased the king, and all the people.
4王與全會眾都以這事為善。
5And they decreed to send messengers to all Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, that they should come, and keep the phase to the Lord the God of Israel in Jerusalem: for many had not kept it as it is prescribed by the law.
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。
6And the posts went with letters by commandment of the king, and his princes, to all Israel and Juda, proclaiming according to the king’s orders: Ye children of Israel, turn again to the Lord the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Israel: and he will return to the remnant of you that have escaped the hand of the king of the Assyrians.
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。
7Be not like your fathers, and brethren, who departed from the Lord the God of their fathers, and he hath given them up to destruction, as you see.
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。
8Harden not your necks, as your fathers did: yield yourselves to the Lord, and come to his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: serve the Lord the God of your fathers, and the wrath of his indignation shall be turned away from you.
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。
9For if you turn again to the Lord: your brethren, and children shall find mercy before their masters, that have led them away captive, and they shall return into this land: for the Lord your God is merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him.
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。」
10So the posts went speedily from city to city, through the land of Ephraim, and of Manasses, even to Zabulon, whilst they laughed at them and mocked them.
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。
11Nevertheless some men of Aser, and of Manasses, and of Zabulon, yielding to the counsel, came to Jerusalem.
11然而 亞設 、 瑪拿西 、 西布倫 中也有人自卑，來到 耶路撒冷 。
12But the hand of God was in Juda, to give them one heart to do the word of the Lord, according to the commandment of the king, and of the princes.
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。
13And much people were assembled to Jerusalem to celebrate the solemnity of the unleavened bread in the second month:
13二月，有許多人在 耶路撒冷 聚集，成為大會，要守除酵節。
14And they arose and destroyed the altars that were in Jerusalem, and took sway all things in which incense was burnt to idols, and cast them into the torrent Cedron.
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。
15And they immolated the phase on the fourteenth day of the second month. And the priests and the Levites being at length sanctified offered holocausts in the house of the Lord.
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，
16And they stood in their order according to the disposition, and law of Moses the man of God: but the priests received the blood which was to be poured out, from the hands of the Levites,
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。
17Because a great number was not sanctified: and therefore the Levites immolated the phase for them that came not in time to be sanctified to the Lord.
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。
18For a great part of the people from Ephraim, and Manasses, and Issachar, and Zabulon, that had not been sanctified, ate the phase otherwise than it is written: and Ezechias prayed for them, saying: The Lord who is good will shew mercy,
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。」
19To all them, who with their whole heart, seek the Lord the God of their fathers: and will not impute it to them that they are not sanctified.

20And the Lord heard him, and was merciful to the people.
20耶和華垂聽 希西家 的禱告，就饒恕百姓。
21And the children of Israel, that were found at Jerusalem, kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great joy, praising the Lord every day: the Levites also, and the priests, with instruments that agreed to their office.
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。
22And Ezechias spoke to the heart of all the Levites, that had good understanding concerning the Lord: and they ate during the seven days of the solemnity, immolating victims of peace offerings, and praising the Lord the God of their fathers.
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。
23And it pleased the whole multitude to keep other seven days: which they did with great joy.
23全會眾商議，要再守節七日；於是歡歡喜喜地又守節七日。
24For Ezechias the king of Juda had given to the multitude a thousand bullocks, and seven thousand sheep: and the princes had given the people a thousand bullocks, and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests was sanctified.
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。
25And all the multitude of Juda with the priests and Levites, and all the assembly, that came out of Israel; and the proselytes of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Juda were full of joy.
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。
26And there was a great solemnity in Jerusalem, such as had not been in that city since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel.
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。
27And the priests and the Levites rose up and blessed the people: and their voice was heard: and their prayer came to the holy dwelling place of heaven.
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。
