歷代志下 30

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；

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。

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 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；

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.

王與全會眾都以這事為善。

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.

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 。

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.

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。

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。

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.

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。

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。」

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.”

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。

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.

然而亞設、瑪拿西、西布倫中也有人自卑，來到耶路撒冷。

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.

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。

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，有許多人在耶路撒冷聚集，成為大會，要守除酵節。

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。

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，

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；祭司從利未人手裏接過血來，灑在壇上。

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.

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。

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。」

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.”

耶和華垂聽希西家的禱告，就饒恕 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。

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。

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.

全會眾商議，要再守節七日；於是歡歡喜喜地又守節七日。

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.

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。

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.

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。

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.

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。

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。

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.
