2 Chronicles 30

ECB(i) 1 YECHIZQI YAH WORKS THE PASACH And Yechizqi Yah sends to all Yisra El and Yah Hudah; and also inscribes epistles to Ephrayim and Menash Sheh to come to the house of Yah Veh at Yeru Shalem to work the pasach to Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El. 2 And the sovereign and his governors and all the congregation in Yeru Shalem, counsel to work the pasach in the second month: 3 for they cannot work it at that time because the priests had not hallowed themselves sufficiently, and the people had not gathered to Yeru Shalem. 4 And the word is straight in the eyes of the sovereign and in the eyes of all the congregation: 5 and they stand a word to pass the voice throughout all Yisra El - from Beer Sheba even to Dan to come to work the pasach to Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El at Yeru Shalem: for they had not worked it in abundance in such sort as inscribed. 6 And the runners go with the epistles from the hand of the sovereign and his governors throughout all Yisra El and Yah Hudah; and according to the misvah of the sovereign, saying, You sons of Yisra El, return to Yah Veh Elohim of Abraham, Yischaq and Yisra El; and he returns your survivors - escapees from the palm of the sovereigns of Ashshur: 7 and be not like your fathers and like your brothers, who treasoned against Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers, and he gave them to desolation - as you see. 8 Now harden not your necks as your fathers; give your hand to Yah Veh and enter the holies he hallowed eternally: and serve Yah Veh your Elohim, to turn his fuming wrath from you. 9 For if you return to Yah Veh, he mercies your brothers and your sons at the face of their captors, to return to this land: for Yah Veh your Elohim is charismatic and merciful and turns not his face from you, if you return to him. 10 And the runners pass from city to city through the land of Ephrayim and Menash Sheh even to Zebulun: and they ridicule them and deride them. 11 Only, men of Asher and Menash Sheh and of Zebulun humble themselves and come to Yeru Shalem. 12 Also, in Yah Hudah the hand of Elohim gives them one heart to work the misvah of the sovereign and of the governors by the word of Yah Veh. 13 And much people gather at Yeru Shalem to work the celebration of matsah in the second month - a mighty great congregation. 14 And they rise and turn aside the sacrifice altars in Yeru Shalem and they turn aside all the censers and cast them into the wadi Qidron: 15 and they slaughter the pasach on the fourteenth of the second month: and the priests and the Leviym shame and hallow themselves; and bring the holocausts into the house of Yah Veh: 16 and they stand in their stations after their judgment; according to the torah of Mosheh the man of Elohim: and the priests sprinkle the blood from the hand of the Leviym: 17 for many in the congregation are not hallowed: and the Leviym have the charge of the slaughter of the pasachs for every one who is not pure - to hallow them to Yah Veh. 18 For an increase of the people - many of Ephrayim and Menash Sheh, Yissachar and Zebulun, had not purified; yet eat the pasach - but not as inscribed: but Yechizqi Yah prays for them, saying, The good Yah Veh kapars/atones every one 19 who prepares his heart to seek Elohim - Yah Veh Elohim of his fathers; though not according to the purification of the holies. 20 And Yah Veh hearkens to Yechizqi Yah and heals the people: 21 and the sons of Yisra El they find at Yeru Shalem work the celebration of matsah seven days with great cheerfulness: and day by day the Leviym and the priests halal Yah Veh with instruments of strength to Yah Veh. 22 And Yechizqi Yah words to the heart of all the Leviym who comprehend the good comprehension of Yah Veh: and they eat throughout the festival seven days, sacrificing the sacrifices of shelamim and spread hands to Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers. 23 And the whole congregation counsels to work another seven days: and they work seven days with cheerfulness. 24 For Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah lifts to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand flocks: and the governors lift to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand flocks. - and an abundance of priests hallow themselves. 25 And all the congregation of Yah Hudah with the priests and the Leviym and all the congregation who come from Yisra El and the sojourners who come from the land of Yisra El - who settle in Yah Hudah, cheer! 26 And there is great cheer in Yeru Shalem: for since the day of Shelomoh the son of David sovereign of Yisra El there is not the like in Yeru Shalem. 27 And the priests - the Leviym rise and bless the people: and their voice is heard; and their prayer comes to the habitation of his holiness - to the heavens.
