2 Chronicles 30

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 misit quoque Ezechias ad omnem Israhel et Iudam scripsitque epistulas ad Ephraim et Manassem ut venirent ad domum Domini in Hierusalem et facerent phase Domino Deo Israhel

2 inito ergo consilio regis et principum et universi coetus Hierusalem decreverunt ut facerent phase mense secundo

3 non enim occurrerant facere in tempore suo quia sacerdotes qui possent sufficere sanctificati non fuerant et populus necdum congregatus erat in Hierusalem

4 placuitque sermo regi et omni multitudini

5 et decreverunt ut mitterent nuntios in universum Israhel de Bersabee usque Dan ut venirent et facerent phase Domino Deo Israhel in Hierusalem multi enim non fecerant sicut lege praescriptum est

6 perrexeruntque cursores cum epistulis ex regis imperio et principum eius in universum Israhel et Iudam iuxta quod rex iusserat praedicantes filii Israhel revertimini ad Dominum Deum Abraham et Isaac et Israhel et revertetur ad reliquias quae effugerunt manum regis Assyriorum

7 nolite fieri sicut patres vestri et fratres qui recesserunt a Domino Deo patrum suorum et tradidit eos in interitum ut ipsi cernitis

8 nolite indurare cervices vestras sicut patres vestri tradite manus Domino et venite ad sanctuarium eius quod sanctificavit in aeternum servite Domino Deo patrum vestrorum et avertetur a vobis ira furoris eius

9 si enim vos reversi fueritis ad Dominum fratres vestri et filii habebunt misericordiam coram dominis suis qui illos duxere captivos et revertentur in terram hanc pius enim et clemens est Dominus Deus vester et non avertet faciem suam a vobis si reversi fueritis ad eum

10 igitur cursores pergebant velociter de civitate in civitatem per terram Ephraim et Manasse usque Zabulon illis inridentibus et subsannantibus eos

11 attamen quidam viri ex Aser et Manasse et Zabulon adquiescentes consilio venerunt Hierusalem

12 in Iuda vero facta est manus Domini ut daret eis cor unum et facerent iuxta praeceptum regis et principum verbum Domini

13 congregatique sunt in Hierusalem populi multi ut facerent sollemnitatem azymorum in mense secundo

14 et surgentes destruxerunt altaria quae erant in Hierusalem atque universa in quibus idolis adolebatur incensum subvertentes proiecerunt in torrentem Cedron

15 immolaverunt autem phase quartadecima die mensis secundi sacerdotes quoque atque Levitae tandem sanctificati obtulerunt holocausta in domo Domini

16 steteruntque in ordine suo iuxta dispositionem et legem Mosi hominis Dei sacerdotes vero suscipiebant effundendum sanguinem de manibus Levitarum

17 eo quod multa turba sanctificata non esset et idcirco Levitae immolarent phase his qui non occurrerant sanctificari Domino

18 magna etiam pars populi de Ephraim et Manasse et Isachar et Zabulon quae sanctificata non fuerat comedit phase non iuxta quod scriptum est et oravit pro eis Ezechias dicens Dominus bonus propitiabitur

19 cunctis qui in toto corde requirunt Dominum Deum patrum suorum et non inputabit eis quod minus sanctificati sunt

20 quem exaudivit Dominus et placatus est populo

21 feceruntque filii Israhel qui inventi sunt in Hierusalem sollemnitatem azymorum septem diebus in laetitia magna laudantes Dominum per singulos dies Levitae quoque et sacerdotes per organa quae suo officio congruebant

22 et locutus est Ezechias ad cor omnium Levitarum qui habebant intellegentiam bonam super Domino et comederunt septem diebus sollemnitatis immolantes victimas pacificorum et laudantes Dominum Deum patrum suorum

23 placuitque universae multitudini ut celebrarent etiam alios dies septem quod et fecerunt cum ingenti gaudio

24 Ezechias enim rex Iuda praebuerat multitudini mille tauros et septem milia ovium principes vero dederant populo tauros mille et oves decem milia sanctificata ergo est sacerdotum plurima multitudo

25 et hilaritate perfusa omnis turba Iuda tam sacerdotum et Levitarum quam universae frequentiae quae venerat ex Israhel proselytorum quoque de terra Israhel et habitantium in Iuda

26 factaque est grandis celebritas in Hierusalem qualis a diebus Salomonis filii David regis Israhel in ea urbe non fuerat

27 surrexerunt autem sacerdotes atque Levitae benedicentes populo et exaudita est vox eorum pervenitque oratio in habitaculum sanctum caeli

New International Version NIV

1 Hezekiah sent word to all Israel and Judah and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, inviting them to come to the temple of the LORD in Jerusalem and celebrate the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel.

2 The king and his officials and the whole assembly in Jerusalem decided to celebrate the Passover in the second month.

3 They had not been able to celebrate it at the regular time because not enough priests had consecrated themselves and the people had not assembled in Jerusalem.

4 The plan seemed right both to the king and to the whole assembly.

5 They decided to send a proclamation throughout Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, calling the people to come to Jerusalem and celebrate the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel. It had not been celebrated in large numbers according to what was written.

6 At the king’s command, couriers went throughout Israel and Judah with letters from the king and from his officials, which read: “People of Israel, return to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, that he may return to you who are left, who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.

7 Do not be like your parents and your fellow Israelites, who were unfaithful to the LORD, the God of their ancestors, so that he made them an object of horror, as you see.

8 Do not be stiff-necked, as your ancestors were; submit to the LORD. Come to his sanctuary, which he has consecrated forever. Serve the LORD your God, so that his fierce anger will turn away from you.

9 If you return to the LORD, then your fellow Israelites and your children will be shown compassion by their captors and will return to this land, for the LORD your God is gracious and compassionate. He will not turn his face from you if you return to him.”

10 The couriers went from town to town in Ephraim and Manasseh, as far as Zebulun, but people scorned and ridiculed them.

11 Nevertheless, some from Asher, Manasseh and Zebulun humbled themselves and went to Jerusalem.

12 Also in Judah the hand of God was on the people to give them unity of mind to carry out what the king and his officials had ordered, following the word of the LORD.

13 A very large crowd of people assembled in Jerusalem to celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread in the second month.

14 They removed the altars in Jerusalem and cleared away the incense altars and threw them into the Kidron Valley.

15 They slaughtered the Passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and the Levites were ashamed and consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings to the temple of the LORD.

16 Then they took up their regular positions as prescribed in the Law of Moses the man of God. The priests splashed against the altar the blood handed to them by the Levites.

17 Since many in the crowd had not consecrated themselves, the Levites had to kill the Passover lambs for all those who were not ceremonially clean and could not consecrate their lambs to the LORD.

18 Although most of the many people who came from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover, contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, “May the LORD, who is good, pardon everyone

19 who sets their heart on seeking God—the LORD, the God of their ancestors—even if they are not clean according to the rules of the sanctuary.”

20 And the LORD heard Hezekiah and healed the people.

21 The Israelites who were present in Jerusalem celebrated the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great rejoicing, while the Levites and priests praised the LORD every day with resounding instruments dedicated to the LORD.

22 Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites, who showed good understanding of the service of the LORD. For the seven days they ate their assigned portion and offered fellowship offerings and praised the LORD, the God of their ancestors.

23 The whole assembly then agreed to celebrate the festival seven more days; so for another seven days they celebrated joyfully.

24 Hezekiah king of Judah provided a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep and goats for the assembly, and the officials provided them with a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep and goats. A great number of priests consecrated themselves.

25 The entire assembly of Judah rejoiced, along with the priests and Levites and all who had assembled from Israel, including the foreigners who had come from Israel and also those who resided in Judah.

26 There was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the days of Solomon son of David king of Israel there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem.

27 The priests and the Levites stood to bless the people, and God heard them, for their prayer reached heaven, his holy dwelling place.
