1 Hezekiah sent messengers to all Israel and Judah, and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Yahweh in Jerusalem, to celebrate the Passover to Yahweh, the 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, his leaders, and all the assembly in Jerusalem had consulted together, deciding to celebrate 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 They could not celebrate at the regular time, because not enough priests had consecrated themselves for the celebration and the people had not gathered together in Jerusalem.
3 Porque entonces no la podían celebrar, por cuanto no había suficientes sacerdotes santificados, ni el pueblo estaba junto en Jerusalem.
4 This proposal seemed right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.
4 Esto agradó al rey y á toda la multitud.
5 So they agreed to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that the people should come to celebrate the Passover to Yahweh, the God of Israel, in Jerusalem. For they had not observed it with large numbers of people according to what was written.
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 So couriers went with the letters from the king and his leaders throughout all Israel and Judah, by the command of the king. They said, “You people of Israel, turn back to Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that he may turn back to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings 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 Do not be like your ancestors or your brothers, who trespassed against Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, so that he made them an object of horror, as you 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 Now do not be stubborn, as your ancestors were; instead, give yourselves to Yahweh and come into his holy place, which he has consecrated forever, and worship Yahweh your God, so that his fierce anger may turn away 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 if you turn back to Yahweh, your brothers and children will find compassion before those who led them away as prisoners, and they will come back into this land. For Yahweh your God, is gracious and merciful, and will not turn his face away from you, if you 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 couriers passed from city to city throughout the regions of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the way to Zebulun, but the people laughed at them 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 However, certain men of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
11 Con todo eso, algunos hombres de Aser, de Manasés, y de Zabulón, se humillaron, y vinieron á Jerusalem.
12 The hand of God also came on Judah, to give them one heart, to carry out the command of the king and leaders by the word of Yahweh.
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 Many people, a very great assembly, gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread in the second month.
13 Y juntóse en Jerusalem mucha gente para celebrar la solemnidad de los ázimos en el mes segundo; una vasta reunión.
14 They rose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense; they threw them into the brook Kidron.
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 lambs on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and Levites were ashamed, so they consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings into the house of Yahweh.
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 They stood in their place by their divisions, following the directions given in the law of Moses, the man of God. The priests sprinkled the blood that they received 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 there were many in the assembly who had not consecrated themselves. Therefore the Levites slaughtered the Passover lambs for everyone who was not purified and could not consecrate their sacrifice to Yahweh.
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 a great many of the people, many of them from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover meal, against the written instructions. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, “May the good Yahweh pardon everyone
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 who sets his heart to seek God, Yahweh, the God of his ancestors, even though he is not purified by the purification standards of the holy place.”
19 A Jehová el Dios de sus padres, aunque no [esté purificado] según la purificación del santuario.
20 So Yahweh listened to Hezekiah and healed the people.
20 Y oyó Jehová á Ezechîas, y sanó al pueblo.
21 The people of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great joy. The Levites and the priests praised Yahweh day after day, singing with loud instruments to Yahweh.
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 Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites who understood the service of Yahweh. So they ate throughout the festival for the seven days, offering sacrifices of fellowship offerings, and making confession to Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.
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 The whole assembly then decided to celebrate for another seven days, and they did so with joy.
23 Y toda aquella multitud determinó que celebrasen otros siete días; y celebraron otros siete días con alegría.
24 For Hezekiah king of Judah gave the assembly one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep as an offering; and the leaders gave to the assembly one thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep and goats. A large number of priests consecrated themselves.
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 All the assembly of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the people who came together from Israel, as well as the foreigners who came from the land of Israel and those who lived in Judah—they all rejoiced.
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 So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon son of David, king of Israel, there had not been anything like it 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 and blessed the people. Their voice was heard, and their prayer went up to heaven, the holy place where God lives.
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.
