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.
