以色列人与犹大人一起守节
30 希西家派人走遍以色列和犹大，又写信给以法莲人和玛拿西人，叫他们到耶路撒冷耶和华的殿来，守逾越节记念耶和华以色列的 神。 2 因为王和众领袖，以及耶路撒冷的全体会众曾经商议，要在二月守逾越节。 3 （但他们不能如期守逾越节，因为自洁的祭司不够，人民也没有齐集在耶路撒冷。） 4 王和全体会众都认为这计划很好， 5 于是下了命令，通告全以色列，从别是巴直到但，叫人民来耶路撒冷守逾越节记念耶和华以色列的 神，因为照着所记的定例举行这节的人不多。 6 信差就带着王和众领袖发出的书信，走遍全以色列和犹大，照着王的吩咐，宣告说：“以色列人哪，你们应当转向耶和华，亚伯拉罕、以撒和以色列的 神，使他也转向你们这些在亚述王手中逃脱的余民。 7 你们不要像你们的列祖和你们的亲族，他们得罪了耶和华他们列祖的 神，以致耶和华使他们成为令人惊骇的对象，就像你们自己所见的。 8 现在你们不可顽固，像你们的列祖那样；要顺服耶和华，进入他永远分别为圣的圣所，事奉耶和华你们的 神，使他的烈怒转离你们。 9 如果你们是归向耶和华，你们的亲族和儿女就必在俘掳他们的人面前蒙怜悯，可以返回这地；因为耶和华你们的 神是有恩惠有怜悯；如果你们归向他，他必不转脸不顾你们。” 10 信差从这城到那城，走遍了以法莲和玛拿西各地，直到西布伦；那里的人却戏弄他们，讥笑他们。 11 可是在亚设、玛拿西和西布伦中，也有人愿意谦卑，来到耶路撒冷。 12 神的能力也帮助犹大人，使他们一心遵行王和众领袖奉耶和华的命令发出的吩咐。
13 二月，有很多人在耶路撒冷聚集，要举行无酵节，集合了一大群会众。 14 他们起来，把耶路撒冷城中的祭坛和一切香坛，尽都除去，拋在汲沦溪中。 15 二月十四日，他们宰了逾越节的羊羔。祭司和利未人都觉得惭愧，就自洁，把燔祭带到耶和华的殿里。 16 他们遵照神人摩西的律法，按着定例，站在自己的岗位上。祭司从利未人手里把血接过来，洒在祭坛上。 17 因为会众中有很多人还没有自洁，所以利未人必须为所有不洁的人宰杀逾越节的羊羔，使他们在耶和华面前成为圣洁。 18-19 原来有一大群人，很多是从以法莲、玛拿西、以萨迦和西布伦来的，还没有自洁，就吃逾越节的羊羔，不遵照所记的定例；因此，希西家为他们祷告说：“凡是立定心意，专一寻求 神耶和华他们列祖的 神的，虽然没有照着圣所洁净的礼自洁，愿良善的耶和华也饶恕他们。” 20 耶和华垂听了希西家的祷告，就饶恕（“饶恕”原文作“医治”）众民。 21 在耶路撒冷的以色列人，都十分欢乐地守除酵节七天；利未人和祭司天天赞美耶和华，用响亮的乐器赞美耶和华。 22 希西家慰勉所有善于事奉耶和华的利未人；众人吃节筵七日，又献上平安祭，称颂耶和华他们列祖的 神。
23 全体会众商议好了，要再守节期七天，于是他们欢欢喜喜地又举行了七天。 24 犹大王希西家送给会众公牛一千头，羊七千只；众领袖也送给会众公牛一千头，羊一万只；并且有很多祭司自洁。 25 犹大的全体会众、祭司和利未人、从以色列来的全体会众，以及在以色列地寄居的人和在犹大寄居的人，都非常欢乐。 26 这样，在耶路撒冷有极大的欢乐，自从以色列王大卫的儿子所罗门的日子以来，在耶路撒冷都没有像这样的欢乐。 27 那时，利未支派的祭司起来，给人民祝福；他们的声音蒙了垂听，他们的祷告达到天上 神的圣所那里。

預備守逾越節
30 希西迦派人通告以色列和猶大全境，又寫信通知以法蓮人和瑪拿西人，叫他們到耶路撒冷耶和華的殿，向以色列的上帝耶和華守逾越節。 2 王、眾官員及耶路撒冷的全體會眾決定在二月守逾越節。 3 他們不能在一月守節期，因為潔淨自己的祭司不夠多，民眾也沒有聚集在耶路撒冷。 4 王與全體會眾都很贊成這個計劃。 5 於是，他們下令通告全以色列，從別示巴直到但，讓人們到耶路撒冷向以色列的上帝耶和華守逾越節，因為人們不常照律例守這節期。
6 信差遵照王的命令帶著王和眾官員的信走遍以色列和猶大，宣告說：「以色列人啊，你們應當歸向亞伯拉罕、以撒和以色列的上帝耶和華，好使祂轉向你們這些從亞述王手中逃脫的餘民。 7 不要效法你們的祖先和親族，他們對他們祖先的上帝耶和華不忠，以致耶和華使他們的下場很可怕，正如你們所見的。 8 現在，不要像你們的祖先那樣頑固不化；要順服耶和華，進入祂永遠聖潔的聖所，事奉你們的上帝耶和華，好使祂的烈怒轉離你們。 9 你們若歸向祂，你們的弟兄和兒女必蒙擄走他們之人的憐憫，得以回歸此地，因為你們的上帝耶和華有恩典，好憐憫。你們若歸向祂，祂必不會轉臉不顧你們。」
10 信差將這通告逐城傳遍以法蓮和瑪拿西，直到西布倫，可是那些地方的人卻嘲笑、戲弄他們。 11 然而，有些亞設人、瑪拿西人和西布倫人謙卑悔改，來到耶路撒冷。 12 耶和華上帝感動猶大人，使他們一心遵從王與眾官員奉祂的指示所下的命令。
守逾越節
13 二月，大群的人聚到耶路撒冷守除酵節。 14 他們除去耶路撒冷的祭壇和所有香壇，把它們丟進汲淪溪。 15 二月十四日，他們宰了逾越節的羊羔。祭司和利未人覺得慚愧，就潔淨自己，把燔祭帶到耶和華的殿裡， 16 然後照上帝的僕人摩西的律法照常供職。祭司從利未人手中接過血，灑在壇上。 17 因為會眾中間有許多人沒有潔淨自己，利未人就為所有不潔之人宰逾越節的羊羔獻給耶和華。 18-19 有許多以法蓮人、瑪拿西人、以薩迦人和西布倫人沒有潔淨自己就吃了逾越節的羊羔，違背了律法的規定。希西迦就為他們禱告說：「凡誠心尋求他祖先的上帝耶和華的人，雖然沒有照聖所的律例潔淨自己，願良善的耶和華赦免他！」 20 耶和華垂聽希西迦的禱告，就赦免[a]了他們。
21 在耶路撒冷的以色列人非常喜樂地守除酵節七天。利未人和祭司用響亮的樂器天天頌讚耶和華。 22 希西迦慰勞所有善於事奉耶和華的利未人。於是，眾人歡宴過節七天，又獻上平安祭，稱謝他們祖先的上帝耶和華。
再次守節期
23 全體會眾商議要再守節期七天，於是大家又歡歡喜喜地守節期七天。 24 猶大王希西迦送給會眾一千頭公牛和七千隻羊，眾官員也送給會眾一千頭公牛和一萬隻羊，並且很多祭司都已潔淨自己。 25 猶大全體會眾、祭司、利未人和從以色列來的全體會眾，以及寄居在以色列和猶大的人盡都歡喜。 26 全耶路撒冷都喜氣洋洋，因為自以色列王大衛的兒子所羅門時代以來，耶路撒冷從未有過這樣的盛會。 27 利未祭司起來為民眾祝福，他們的禱告得蒙垂聽，達到天上的聖所。

Divrey Hayamim Bais 30
Orthodox Jewish Bible
30 And Chizkiyah sent to kol Yisroel and Yehudah, and wrote iggerot also to Ephrayim and Menasheh, that they should come to the Beis Hashem at Yerushalayim, to keep the Pesach Hashem Elohei Yisroel.
2 For HaMelech had conferred and agreed with his sarim, and kol HaKahal in Yerushalayim, to keep the Pesach in the second month.
3 For they could not keep it at its time, because the Kohanim had not set themselves apart as kodesh in sufficient numbers, neither had HaAm gathered themselves together to Yerushalayim.
4 And the thing pleased HaMelech and kol HaKahal.
5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout kol Yisroel, from Beer Sheva even to Dan, that they should come to keep Pesach unto Hashem Elohei Yisroel in Yerushalayim, for not many had kept Pesach as prescribed.
6 So the runners went with the iggerot from HaMelech and his sarim throughout kol Yisroel and Yehudah, and according to the commandment of HaMelech, saying, Ye Bnei Yisroel, shuvu (turn, return) unto Hashem Elohei Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yisroel, and He will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the yad of the Kings of Assyria.
7 And be not ye like Avoteichem, and like your achim, which were unfaithful against Hashem Elohei Avoteihem, Who therefore gave them up to a desolation, as ye see.
8 Now be ye not stiffnecked, as Avoteichem were, but yield yourselves unto Hashem, and come to His Mikdash, which He hath set apart as kodesh l’olam; and serve Hashem Eloheichem, that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you.
9 For if ye turn again unto Hashem, your achim and your banim shall find rachamim before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come back into HaAretz HaZot, for Hashem Eloheichem is channun (gracious) and rachum (compassionate), and will not turn away His face from you, if ye return unto Him.
10 So the runners passed from town to town through Eretz Ephrayim and Menasheh even unto Zevulun, but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
11 Nevertheless anashim of Asher and Menasheh and of Zevulun humbled themselves, and went to Yerushalayim.
12 Also in Yehudah the Yad HaElohim was to give them lev echad to carry out the mitzvat HaMelech and of the sarim, by the word of Hashem.
13 And there assembled at Yerushalayim Am Rav (Much People) to keep Chag HaMatzot in the second month, a kahal larov me’od (a very great congregation).
14 And they arose and removed the mizbechot that were in Yerushalayim, and all the incense altars they took away, and threw them into the Wadi Kidron.
15 Then they slaughtered the Pesach on the fourteenth day of the second month; and the Kohanim and the Levi’im were ashamed, and they set themselves apart as kodesh, and brought olot to the Beis Hashem.
16 And they stood in their place after their prescribed manner, according to the Torat Moshe Ish HaElohim; the Kohanim sprinkled the dahm, which they received of the yad of the Levi’im.
17 For there were rabbim in HaKahal that were not set apart as kodesh; therefore the Levi’im had the charge of the shechitah (ritual slaughter) of the Pesachim for every one that was not tahor and therefore could not set them apart as kodesh unto Hashem.
18 For most of HaAm, even many of Ephrayim, and Menasheh, Yissakhar, and Zevulun, had not made themselves tahor, yet did they eat the Pesach contrary to what was written. But Chizkiyah davened for them, saying, May Hashem Hatov grant kapporah to
19 Everyone that prepareth his lev to seek HaElohim, Hashem Elohei Avotav, though he be not tahor according to the taharat HaKodesh.
20 And Hashem paid heed to Chizkiyah, and healed HaAm.
21 And the Bnei Yisroel that were present at Yerushalayim kept the Chag HaMatzot shivat yamim with simchah gedolah; and the Levi’im and the Kohanim praised Hashem yom b’yom, singing with loud instruments unto Hashem.
22 And Chizkiyah spoke words of comfort unto all the Levi’im who taught the seichel tov of Hashem, and they did eat the mo’ed seven days, offering zivkhei shelamim, and making confession to Hashem Elohei Avoteihem.
23 And the kol HaKahal conferred and agreed to celebrate still another shivat yamim; and they kept another shivat yamim with simcha.
24 For Chizkiyah Melech Yehudah did give to the Kahal a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep; and the sarim gave to the Kahal a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of Kohanim set themselves apart as kodesh.
25 And kol Kehal Yehudah, with the Kohanim and the Levi’im, and kol HaKahal that came out of Yisroel, and the gerim that came out of Eretz Yisroel, and that dwelt in Yehudah, rejoiced.
26 So there was simchah gedolah in Yerushalayim; for since the days of Sh’lomo Ben Dovid Melech Yisroel there was not the like in Yerushalayim.
27 Then the Kohanim and the Levi’im arose and blessed HaAm, and their voice was heard, and their tefillah came up to His Ma’on Kodesh, even unto Shomayim.
2 Chronicles 30
King James Version
30 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the Lord God of Israel.
2 For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
4 And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written.
6 So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
7 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the Lord God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
8 Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the Lord, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the Lord your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
9 For if ye turn again unto the Lord, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.
10 So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
11 Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
12 Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord.
13 And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
14 And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.
15 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the Lord.
16 And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.
17 For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the Lord.
18 For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good Lord pardon every one
19 That prepareth his heart to seek God, the Lord God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.
20 And the Lord hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
21 And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the Lord day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the Lord.
22 And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the Lord: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the Lord God of their fathers.
23 And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness.
24 For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
25 And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.
27 Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.
