1 And Ezekias sent to all Israel and Juda, and wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasse, that they should come into the house of the Lord to Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel.
1 ENVIÓ también Ezechîas por todo Israel y Judá, y escribió letras á Ephraim y Manasés, que viniesen á Jerusalem á la casa de Jehová, para celebrar la pascua á Jehová Dios de Israel.
2 For the king, and the princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, designed to keep the passover in the second month.
2 Y había el rey tomado consejo con sus príncipes, y con toda la congregación en Jerusalem, para celebrar la pascua en el mes segundo:
3 For they could not keep it at that time, because a sufficient number of priests had not purified themselves, and the people was not gathered to Jerusalem.
3 Porque entonces no la podían celebrar, por cuanto no había suficientes sacerdotes santificados, ni el pueblo estaba junto en Jerusalem.
4 And the proposal pleased the king and the congregation.
4 Esto agradó al rey y á toda la multitud.
5 And they established a decree that a proclamation should go through all Israel, from Bersabee to Dan, that they should come and keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem: for the multitude had not done it lately according to the scripture.
5 Y determinaron hacer pasar pregón por todo Israel, desde Beer-seba hasta Dan, para que viniesen á celebrar la pascua á Jehová Dios de Israel, en Jerusalem: porque en mucho tiempo no la habían celebrado al modo que está escrito.
6 And the posts went with the letters from the king and the princes to all Israel and Juda, according to the command of the king, saying, Children of Israel, return to the Lord God of Abraam, and Isaac, and Israel, and bring back them that have escaped [even] those that were left of the hand of the king of Assyria.
6 Fueron pues correos con letras de mano del rey y de sus príncipes por todo Israel y Judá, como el rey lo había mandado, y decían: Hijos de Israel, volveos á Jehová el Dios de Abraham, de Isaac, y de Israel, y él se volverá á las reliquias que os han quedado de la mano de los reyes de Asiria.
7 And be not as your fathers, and your brethren, who revolted from the Lord God of their fathers, and he gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
7 No seáis como vuestros padres y como vuestros hermanos, que se rebelaron contra Jehová el Dios de sus padres, y él los entregó á desolación, como vosotros veis.
8 And now harden not your hearts, as your fathers [did]: give glory to the Lord God, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever: and serve the Lord your God, and he shall turn away [his] fierce anger from you.
8 No endurezcáis pues ahora vuestra cerviz como vuestros padres: dad la mano á Jehová, y venid á su santuario, el cual él ha santificado para siempre; y servid á Jehová vuestro Dios, y la ira de su furor se apartará de vosotros.
9 For when ye turn to the Lord, your brethren and your children shall be pitied before all that have carried them captives, and he will restore [you] to this land: for the Lord our God is merciful and pitiful, and will not turn away his face from you, if we return to him.
9 Porque si os volviereis á Jehová, vuestros hermanos y vuestros hijos hallarán misericordia delante de los que los tienen cautivos, y volverán á esta tierra: porque Jehová vuestro Dios es clemente y misericordioso, y no volverá de vosotros su rostro, si vosotros os volviereis á él.
10 So the posts went through from city to city in mount Ephraim, and Manasse, and as far as Zabulon: and they as it were laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
10 Pasaron pues los correos de ciudad en ciudad por la tierra de Ephraim y Manasés, hasta Zabulón: mas se reían y burlaban de ellos.
11 But the men of Aser, and [some] of Manasses and of Zabulon, were ashamed, and came to Jerusalem and Juda.
11 Con todo eso, algunos hombres de Aser, de Manasés, y de Zabulón, se humillaron, y vinieron á Jerusalem.
12 And the hand of the Lord was [present] to give them one heart to come, to do according to the commands of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord.
12 En Judá también fué la mano de Dios para darles un corazón para cumplir el mensaje del rey y de los príncipes, conforme á la palabra de Jehová.
13 And a great multitude were gathered to Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
13 Y juntóse en Jerusalem mucha gente para celebrar la solemnidad de los ázimos en el mes segundo; una vasta reunión.
14 And they arose, and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all on which they burnt incense to false [gods] they tore down and cast into the brook Kedron.
14 Y levantándose, quitaron los altares que había en Jerusalem; quitaron también todos los altares de perfumes, y echáronlos en el torrente de Cedrón.
15 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites repented, and purified [themselves], and brought whole-burnt-offerings into the house of the Lord.
15 Entonces sacrificaron la pascua, á los catorce del mes segundo; y los sacerdotes y los Levitas se santificaron con vergüenza, y trajeron los holocaustos á la casa de Jehová.
16 And they stood at their post, according to their ordinance, according to the commandment of Moses the man of God: and the priests received the blood from the hand of the Levites.
16 Y pusiéronse en su orden conforme á su costumbre, conforme á la ley de Moisés varón de Dios; los sacerdotes esparcían la sangre [que recibían] de manos de los Levitas:
17 For a great part of the congregation was not sanctified; and the Levites were [ready] to kill the passover for every one who could not sanctify himself to the Lord.
17 Porque había muchos en la congregación que no estaban santificados, y por eso los Levitas sacrificaban la pascua por todos los que no se habían limpiado, para santificarlos á Jehová.
18 For the greatest part of the people of Ephraim, and Manasse, and Issachar, and Zabulon, had not purified [themselves], but ate the passover contrary to the scripture. On this account also Ezekias prayed concerning them, saying,
18 Porque una gran multitud del pueblo de Ephraim y Manasés, y de Issachâr y Zabulón, no se habían purificado, y comieron la pascua no conforme á lo que está escrito. Mas Ezechîas oró por ellos, diciendo: Jehová, que es bueno, sea propicio á todo aquel que ha apercibido su corazón para buscar á Dios,
19 The good Lord be merciful with regard to every heart that sincerely seeks the Lord God of their fathers, and [is] not [purified] according to the purification of the sanctuary.
19 A Jehová el Dios de sus padres, aunque no [esté purificado] según la purificación del santuario.
20 And the Lord hearkened to Ezekias, and healed the people.
20 Y oyó Jehová á Ezechîas, y sanó al pueblo.
21 And the children of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great joy; and they continued to sing hymns to the Lord daily, and the priests and the Levites [played] on instruments to the Lord.
21 Así celebraron los hijos de Israel que se hallaron en Jerusalem, la solemnidad de los panes sin levadura por siete días con grande gozo: y alababan á Jehová todos los días los Levitas y los sacerdotes, [cantando] con instrumentos de fortaleza á Jehová.
22 And Ezekias encouraged all the Levites, and those that had good understanding of the Lord: and they completely kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days, offering peace-offerings, and confessing to the Lord God of their fathers.
22 Y habló Ezechîas al corazón de todos los Levitas que tenían buena inteligencia [en el servicio] de Jehová. Y comieron [de lo sacrificado] en la solemnidad por siete días, ofreciendo sacrificios pacíficos, y dando gracias á Jehová el Dios de sus padres.
23 And the congregation purposed together to keep other seven days: and they kept seven days with gladness.
23 Y toda aquella multitud determinó que celebrasen otros siete días; y celebraron otros siete días con alegría.
24 For Ezekias set apart for Juda, [even] for the congregation, a thousand calves and seven thousand sheep; and the princes set apart for the people a thousand calves and ten thousand sheep: and the holy things of the priests abundantly.
24 Porque Ezechîas rey de Judá había dado á la multitud mil novillos y siete mil ovejas; y también los príncipes dieron al pueblo mil novillos y diez mil ovejas: y muchos sacerdotes se santificaron.
25 And all the congregation, the priests and the Levites, rejoiced, and all the congregation of Juda, and they that were present of Jerusalem, and the strangers that came from the land of Israel, and the dwellers in Juda.
25 Alegróse pues toda la congregación de Judá, como también los sacerdotes y Levitas, y toda la multitud que había venido de Israel; asimismo los extranjeros que habían venido de la tierra de Israel, y los que habitaban en Judá.
26 And there was great joy in Jerusalem: from the days of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not such a feast in Jerusalem.
26 E hiciéronse grandes alegrías en Jerusalem: porque desde los días de Salomón hijo de David rey de Israel, no había habido cosa tal en Jerusalem.
27 Then the priests the Levites rose up and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came into his holy dwelling-place, [even] into heaven.
27 Levantándose después los sacerdotes y Levitas, bendijeron al pueblo: y la voz de ellos fué oída, y su oración llegó á la habitación de su santuario, al cielo.
