2 Chronicles 30

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；

xī xī jiā chāi qiǎn rén qù jiàn yǐ sè liè hé yóu dà zhòng rén ， yòu xiě xìn gěi yǐ fǎ lián hé mǎ ná xī rén ， jiào tā men dào yē lù sā lěng yē hé huá de diàn ， xiàng yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén shǒu yú yuè jié ；

Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the LORD’s house at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel.

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。

yīn wèi wáng hé zhòng shǒu lǐng ， bìng yē lù sā lěng quán huì zhòng yǐ jīng shāng yì ， yào zài èr yuè nèi shǒu yú yuè jié 。

For the king had taken counsel with his princes and all the assembly in Jerusalem to keep the Passover in the second month.

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；

zhēng yuè jiān tā men bù néng shǒu ； yīn wèi zì jié de jì sī shàng bù fū yòng ， bǎi xìng yě méi yǒu jù jí zài yē lù sā lěng ；

For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, and the people had not gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.

王与全会众都以这事为善。

wáng yǔ quán huì zhòng dōu yǐ zhè shì wèi shàn 。

The thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.

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 。

yú shì dìng le mìng lìng ， chuán biàn yǐ sè liè ， cóng bié shì bā zhí dào dàn ， shǐ tā men dōu lái ， zài yē lù sā lěng xiàng yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén shǒu yú yuè jié ； yīn wèi zhào suǒ xiě de lì ， shǒu zhè jié de bù duō le 。

So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem, for they had not kept it in great numbers in the way it is written.

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。

yì zú jiù bǎ wáng hé zhòng shǒu lǐng de xìn ， zūn zhe wáng mìng chuán biàn yǐ sè liè hé yóu dà 。 xìn nèi shuō ：「 yǐ sè liè rén nǎ ， nǐ men dāng zhuǎn xiàng yē hé huá — yà bó lā hǎn 、 yǐ sā 、 yǐ sè liè de shén ， hǎo jiào tā zhuǎn xiàng nǐ men zhè tuō lí yà shù wáng shǒu de yú mín 。

So the couriers went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, according to the commandment of the king, saying, “You children of Israel, turn again to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant of you that have escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

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。

nǐ men bú yào xiào fǎ nǐ men liè zǔ hé nǐ men de dì xiong ； tā men gān fàn yē hé huá — tā men liè zǔ de shén ， yǐ zhì yē hé huá diū qì tā men ， shǐ tā men bài wáng ， zhèng rú nǐ men suǒ jiàn de 。

Don’t be like your fathers and like your brothers, who trespassed against the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as you see.

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。

xiàn zài bú yào xiàng nǐ men liè zǔ yìng zhe jǐng xiàng ， zhǐ yào guī shùn yē hé huá ， jìn rù tā de shèng suǒ ， jiù shì yǒng yuǎn chéng shèng de jū suǒ ； yòu yào shì fèng yē hé huá — nǐ men de shén ， hǎo shǐ tā de liè nù zhuǎn lí nǐ men 。

Now don’t be stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified forever, and serve the LORD your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.

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。」

nǐ men ruò zhuǎn xiàng yē hé huá ， nǐ men de dì xiong hé ér nǚ bì zài lǔ lüè tā men de rén miàn qián méng lián xù ， dé yǐ guī huí zhè dì ， yīn wèi yē hé huá — nǐ men de shén yǒu ēn diǎn 、 shī lián mǐn 。 nǐ men ruò zhuǎn xiàng tā ， tā bì bù zhuǎn liǎn bú gù nǐ men 。」

For if you turn again to the LORD, your brothers and your children will find compassion with those who led them captive, and will come again into this land, because the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you if you return to him.”

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。

yì zú jiù yóu zhè chéng pǎo dào nà chéng ， chuán biàn le yǐ fǎ lián 、 mǎ ná xī ， zhí dào xī bù lún 。 nà lǐ de rén què xì xiào tā men ， jī qiào tā men 。

So the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun, but people ridiculed them and mocked them.

然而亚设、玛拿西、西布伦中也有人自卑，来到耶路撒冷。

rán ér yà shè 、 mǎ ná xī 、 xī bù lún zhōng yě yǒu rén zì bēi ， lái dào yē lù sā lěng 。

Nevertheless some men of Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.

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。

shén yě gǎn dòng yóu dà rén ， shǐ tā men yì xīn zūn xíng wáng yǔ zhòng shǒu lǐng píng yē hé huá zhī yán suǒ fā de mìng lìng 。

Also the hand of God came on Judah to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by the LORD’s word.

二月，有许多人在耶路撒冷聚集，成为大会，要守除酵节。

èr yuè ， yǒu xǔ duō rén zài yē lù sā lěng jù jí ， chéng wéi dà huì ， yào shǒu chú jiào jié 。

Many people assembled at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly.

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。

tā men qǐ lái ， bǎ yē lù sā lěng de jì tán hé shāo xiāng de tán jìn dōu chú qù ， pāo zài jí lún xī zhōng 。

They arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and they took away all the altars for incense and threw them into the brook Kidron.

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，

èr yuè shí sì rì ， zǎi le yú yuè jié de yáng gāo 。 jì sī yǔ lì wèi rén jué de cán kuì ， jiù jié jìng zì jǐ ， bǎ fán jì fèng dào yē hé huá diàn zhōng ，

Then they killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt offerings into the LORD’s house.

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。

zūn zhe shén rén mó xī de lǜ fǎ ， zhào lì zhàn zài zì jǐ de dì fāng ； jì sī cóng lì wèi rén shǒu lǐ jiē guò xuè lái ， sǎ zài tán shàng 。

They 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.

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。

huì zhōng yǒu xǔ duō rén shàng wèi zì jié ， suǒ yǐ lì wèi rén wéi yí qiè bù jié zhī rén zǎi yú yuè jié de yáng gāo ， shǐ tā men zài yē hé huá miàn qián chéng wéi shèng jié 。

For 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 the LORD.

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。」

yǐ fǎ lián 、 mǎ ná xī 、 yǐ sà jiā 、 xī bù lún yǒu xǔ duō rén shàng wèi zì jié ， tā men què yě chī yú yuè jié de yáng gāo ， bù hé suǒ jì lù de dìng lì 。 xī xī jiā wèi tā men dǎo gào shuō ：「 fán zhuān xīn xún qiú shén ， jiù shì yē hé huá — tā liè zǔ zhī shén de ， suī bú zhào zhe shèng suǒ jié jìng zhī lǐ zì jié ， qiú zhì shàn de yē hé huá yě ráo shù tā 。」

For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover other than the way it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, “May the good LORD pardon everyone

who sets his heart to seek God, the LORD, the God of his fathers, even if they aren’t clean according to the purification of the sanctuary.”

耶和华垂听希西家的祷告，就饶恕 百姓。

yē hé huá chuí tīng xī xī jiā de dǎo gào ， jiù ráo shù bǎi xìng 。

The LORD listened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.

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。

zài yē lù sā lěng de yǐ sè liè rén dà dà xǐ lè ， shǒu chú jiào jié qī rì 。 lì wèi rén hé jì sī yòng xiǎng liàng de yuè qì ， rì rì sòng zàn yē hé huá 。

The children of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness. The Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments to the LORD.

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。

xī xī jiā wèi láo yí qiè shàn yú shì fèng yē hé huá de lì wèi rén 。 yú shì zhòng rén chī jié yán qī rì ， yòu xiàn píng ān jì ， qiě xiàng yē hé huá — tā men liè zǔ de shén rèn zuì 。

Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites who had good understanding in the service of the LORD. So they ate throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace offerings and making confession to the LORD, the God of their fathers.

全会众商议，要再守节七日；于是欢欢喜喜地又守节七日。

quán huì zhòng shāng yì ， yào zài shǒu jié qī rì ； yú shì huān huān xǐ xǐ dì yòu shǒu jié qī rì 。

The whole assembly took counsel to keep another seven days, and they kept another seven days with gladness.

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。

yóu dà wáng xī xī jiā cì gěi huì zhòng gōng niú yì qiān zhī ， yáng qī qiān zhī wèi jì wù ； zhòng shǒu lǐng yě cì gěi huì zhòng gōng niú yì qiān zhī ， yáng yí wàn zhī ， bìng yǒu xǔ duō de jì sī jié jìng zì jǐ 。

For 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.

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。

yóu dà quán huì zhòng 、 jì sī 、 lì wèi rén ， bìng nà cóng yǐ sè liè dì lái de huì zhòng hé jì jū de rén ， yǐ jí yóu dà jì jū de rén ， jìn dōu xǐ lè 。

All 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.

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。

zhè yàng ， zài yē lù sā lěng dà yǒu xǐ lè ， zì cóng yǐ sè liè wáng dà wèi ér zi suǒ luó mén de shí hòu ， zài yē lù sā lěng méi yǒu zhè yàng de xǐ lè 。

So there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was nothing like this in Jerusalem.

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。

nà shí ， jì sī 、 lì wèi rén qǐ lái ， wèi mín zhù fú 。 tā men de shēng yīn méng shén chuí tīng ， tā men de dǎo gào dá dào tiān shàng de shèng suǒ 。

Then the Levitical priests arose and blessed the people. Their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even to heaven.
