2 Chronicles 30
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD, the God of Israel.
1希西家 差遣人去见 以色列 和 犹大 众人，又写信给 以法莲 和 玛拿西 人，叫他们到 耶路撒冷 耶和华的殿，向耶和华— 以色列 的 神守逾越节；
2For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
2因为王和众首领，并 耶路撒冷 全会众已经商议，要在二月内守逾越节。
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.
3正月间他们不能守；因为自洁的祭司尚不敷用，百姓也没有聚集在 耶路撒冷 ；
4And the thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the congregation.
4王与全会众都以这事为善。
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 the LORD, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem; for they had not kept it in great numbers according as it is written.
5于是定了命令，传遍 以色列 ，从 别是巴 直到 但 ，使他们都来，在 耶路撒冷 向耶和华— 以色列 的 神守逾越节；因为照所写的例，守这节的不多了。
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 back unto the LORD, 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.
6驿卒就把王和众首领的信，遵着王命传遍 以色列 和 犹大 。信内说：「 以色列 人哪，你们当转向耶和华— 亚伯拉罕 、 以撒 、 以色列 的 神，好叫他转向你们这脱离 亚述 王手的余民。
7And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, who acted treacherously against the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that He delivered them to be an astonishment, as ye see.
7你们不要效法你们列祖和你们的弟兄；他们干犯耶和华—他们列祖的 神，以致耶和华丢弃他们，使他们败亡，正如你们所见的。
8Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into His sanctuary, which He hath sanctified for ever, and serve the LORD your God, that His fierce anger may turn away from you.
8现在不要像你们列祖硬着颈项，只要归顺耶和华，进入他的圣所，就是永远成圣的居所；又要事奉耶和华—你们的 神，好使他的烈怒转离你们。
9For if ye turn back unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that led them captive, and shall come back into this land; for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away His face from you, if ye return unto Him.'
9你们若转向耶和华，你们的弟兄和儿女必在掳掠他们的人面前蒙怜恤，得以归回这地，因为耶和华—你们的 神有恩典、施怜悯。你们若转向他，他必不转脸不顾你们。」
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.
10驿卒就由这城跑到那城，传遍了 以法莲 、 玛拿西 ，直到 西布伦 。那里的人却戏笑他们，讥诮他们。
11Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
11然而 亚设 、 玛拿西 、 西布伦 中也有人自卑，来到 耶路撒冷 。
12Also in Judah was the hand of God to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by the word of the LORD.
12神也感动 犹大 人，使他们一心遵行王与众首领凭耶和华之言所发的命令。
13And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
13二月，有许多人在 耶路撒冷 聚集，成为大会，要守除酵节。
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.
14他们起来，把 耶路撒冷 的祭坛和烧香的坛尽都除去，抛在 汲沦溪 中。
15Then they killed the passover lamb 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 the LORD.
15二月十四日，宰了逾越节 的羊羔 。祭司与 利未 人觉得惭愧，就洁净自己，把燔祭奉到耶和华殿中，
16And they stood in their place after their order, according to the law of Moses the man of God; the priests dashed the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.
16遵着神人 摩西 的律法，照例站在自己的地方；祭司从 利未 人手里 接过 血来，洒在坛上。
17For there were many in the congregation that had not sanctified themselves; therefore the Levites had the charge of killing the passover lambs for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the LORD.
17会中有许多人尚未自洁，所以 利未 人为一切不洁之人宰逾越节 的羊羔 ，使他们在耶和华面前成为圣洁。
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 LORD pardon
18以法莲 、 玛拿西 、 以萨迦 、 西布伦 有许多人尚未自洁，他们却也吃逾越节 的羊羔 ，不合所记录的定例。 希西家 为他们祷告说：「凡专心寻求 神，就是耶和华—他列祖之 神的，虽不照着圣所洁净之礼 自洁 ，求至善的耶和华也饶恕他。」
19every one that setteth his heart to seek God, the LORD, the God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification that pertaineth to holy things.'

20And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
20耶和华垂听 希西家 的祷告，就饶恕百姓。
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 the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD.
21在 耶路撒冷 的 以色列 人大大喜乐，守除酵节七日。 利未 人和祭司用响亮的乐器，日日颂赞耶和华。
22And Hezekiah spoke encouragingly unto all the Levites that were well skilled in the service of the LORD. So they did eat throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace-offerings, and giving thanks to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
22希西家 慰劳一切善于 事奉 耶和华的 利未 人。于是众人吃节筵七日，又献平安祭，且向耶和华—他们列祖的 神认罪。
23And the whole congregation took counsel to keep other seven days; and they kept other seven days with gladness.
23全会众商议，要再守节七日；于是欢欢喜喜地又守节七日。
24For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation for offerings a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep; and priests sanctified themselves in great numbers.
24犹大 王 希西家 赐给会众公牛一千只，羊七千只为祭物；众首领也赐给会众公牛一千只，羊一万只，并有许多的祭司洁净自己。
25And all the 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.
25犹大 全会众、祭司、 利未 人，并那从 以色列 地来的会众和寄居的人，以及 犹大 寄居的人，尽都喜乐。
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.
26这样，在 耶路撒冷 大有喜乐，自从 以色列 王 大卫 儿子 所罗门 的时候，在 耶路撒冷 没有这样的喜乐。
27Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people; and their voice was heard of the LORD, and their prayer came up to His holy habitation, even unto heaven.
27那时，祭司、 利未 人起来，为民祝福。他们的声音蒙 神垂听，他们的祷告达到天上的圣所。
