2 Chronicles 30
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
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 had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in 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 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 was right in the eyes of the king and of all the congregation.
4王與全會眾都以這事為善。
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。
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。
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。
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 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 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 divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and 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 。
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 there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
13二月，有許多人在 耶路撒冷 聚集，成為大會，要守除酵節。
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。
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 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；祭司從 利未 人手裏 接過 血來，灑在壇上。
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 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。」
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耶和華垂聽 希西家 的禱告，就饒恕百姓。
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 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 the whole congregation took counsel to keep other seven days; and they kept other seven days with gladness.
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 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 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。
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。
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。
