Второ Летописи 30
1940 Bulgarian Bible
30 След това Езекия прати <човеци> по целия Израил и Юда, писа още и писма на Ефрема и Манасия, да <ги поканят да> дойдат на Господния дом в Ерусалим, за да направят пасха на Господа Израилевия Бог.
2 Защото царят и първенците му и цялото общество в Ерусалим бяха се съветвали да направят пасхата във втория месец.
3 Понеже не бяха могли да я направят в онова време, защото нямаше доволно осветени свещеници, и людете не бяха се събрали в Ерусалим.
4 И това нещо се видя право на царя и на цялото общество.
5 Затова решиха да прогласят по целия Израил, от Вирсавее дори до Дан, <покана> да дойдат за да направят пасха на Господа Израилевия Бог в Ерусалим; защото отдавна не бяха я празнували според предписанието.
6 И тъй бързоходците отидоха с писмата от царя и първенците му по целия Израил и Юда, според царската заповед, и казаха: Чада на Израиля, обърнете се към Господа Бога на Авраама, на Исаака и на Израиля, за да се обърне Той към останалите от вас, които се избавихте от ръката на асирийските царе.
7 Не бъдете както бащите ви и както братята ви, които престъпваха против Господа Бога на бащите си, така щото Той ги предаде на опустошение, както виждате.
8 Сега не закоравявайте врата си, както сториха бащите ви, но предайте се Господу и влезте в светилището Му, което е осветил за винаги, и служете на Господа вашия Бог, за да отвърне от вас яростния Си гняв.
9 Защото, ако се обърнете, към Господа, то на братята ви и чадата ви ще се покаже милост от тия, които са ги пленили, и те ще се върнат в тая земя; защото щедър и милостив е Господ вашият Бог, и няма да отвърне лицето Си от вас, ако вие се обърнете към Него.
10 Така бързоходците минаха от град в град през Ефремовата и Манасиевата земя дори до Завулон; но те им се присмяха и подиграха се с тях.
11 Някои обаче от Асира, Манасия и Завулона се смириха и дойдоха в Ерусалим.
12 А и над Юда бе Божията ръка, за да им даде едно сърце да постъпят по заповедта на царя и на първенците според Господното слово.
13 И събраха се в Ерусалим много народ, за да пазят празника на безквасните хлябове във втория месец; беше твърде голямо събрание.
14 И станаха та отмахнаха жертвениците, които бяха в Ерусалим, отмахнаха и всичките кадилни олтари, та ги хвърлиха в потока Кедрон.
15 Тогава заклаха пасхалните <агнета> в четиринадесетия ден от втория месец; и свещениците и левитите засрамени се осветиха, и внесоха всеизгаряния в Господния дом.
16 И застанаха на мястото си, според чина си, съгласно закона на Божия човек Моисей; и свещениците пръскаха кръвта, <като я вземаха> от ръката на левитите.
17 Защото имаше мнозина в събранието, които не бяха се осветили; за това левитите взеха грижата да заколят пасхалните <агнета>, за всеки, който не беше чист, за да се осветят Господу.
18 Понеже голяма част от людете, мнозина от Ефрема, Манасия, Исахара и Завулона, не бяха се очистили, но ядоха пасхата не според предписанието; защото Езекия бе се помолил за тях, казвайки: Благий Господ да бъде милостив към всекиго,
19 който утвърждава сърцето си да търси Бога, Господа Бога на бащите си, ако и да не е <очистен> според очистването <изискано> за светилището.
20 И Господ послуша Езекия та прости {Еврейски: Изцели.} людете.
21 И израилтяните, които се намираха в Ерусалим, пазиха празника на безквасните хлябове седем дни с голямо веселие; и всеки ден левитите и свещениците славословеха Господа, <пеещи> с <музикални> инструменти на Господа.
22 И Езекия говори насърчително на всичките левити, които разбираха добре Господната <служба>. Така през седемте празнични дни те ядяха, като жертвуваха примирителни жертви и славословеха Господа Бога на бащите си.
23 Тогава цялото общество се съветва да празнуват още седем дни; и празнуваха <още> седем дни с веселие.
24 Защото Юдовият цар Езекия подари на обществото за жертви хиляда юнеца и седем хиляди овце; и първенците подариха на обществото хиляда юнеца и десет хиляди овце; и много свещеници осветиха себе си.
25 И развеселиха се всички събрани от Юда, със свещениците и левитите, и всички събрани надошли от Израиля, и чужденците надошли от Израилевата земя, които живееха в Юда.
26 Така стана голямо веселие в Ерусалим; защото от времето на Израилевия цар Соломона, Давидовия син, не бе станало такова нещо в Ерусалим.
27 След това левитите, свещениците, станаха та благословиха людете; и гласът им биде послушан <от Господа>, и молитвата им възлезе на небето, Неговото свето обиталище.

Hezekiah Celebrates Passover
30 Then Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and he also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, to come to the house of Yahweh in Jerusalem to make a Passover feast to Yahweh the God of Israel. 2 Now the king and his princes, and all the assembly in Jerusalem had taken counsel to make the Passover feast in the second month— 3 but they were not able to make it at that time, for the priests had not consecrated themselves in sufficient numbers,[a] and the people had not been assembled in Jerusalem— 4 and the plan seemed right in the eyes of the king and in the eyes of all the assembly. 5 So they let the decree stand, to make a proclamation[b] throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, to come to make a Passover feast to Yahweh the God of Israel. 6 And the runners went with the letter from the hand of the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah according to the command of the king, saying, “O sons of Israel, return to Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may turn again to the remnant of you who escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria. 7 Do not be like your fathers and like your brothers, who acted unfaithfully before Yahweh, the God of their ancestors,[c] so that he made them as a desolation, as you see. 8 Now, do not stiffen your neck as your fathers,[d] but give a hand to Yahweh and come to his sanctuary, which he has consecrated forever, and serve Yahweh your God that his fierce anger may turn away from you. 9 For when you return to Yahweh, your brothers and your children will find compassion before their captors and return to this land, for Yahweh your God is gracious and compassionate, and he will not turn away his face from you if you return to him.”
10 And it happened that the runners were passing from city to city in the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and up to Zebulun, but they were laughing at them and mocking them. 11 Only men from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem. 12 The hand of God was also upon Judah, to give them one heart to obey the command of the king and the princes concerning the word of Yahweh.
13 So many people gathered in Jerusalem to hold the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month; it was a very great assembly. 14 And they rose up and removed the altars that were in Jerusalem. And they removed all the incense altars and threw them away in the Wadi[e] Kidron. 15 And they slaughtered the Passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month. And the priests and the Levites were disgraced, so they consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings into the house of Yahweh. 16 Then they stood at their positions according to custom, according to the law of Moses the man of God. The priests were sprinkling the blood from the hand of the Levites. 17 For there were many in the assembly who did not consecrate themselves, so the Levites were over the killing of the Passover sacrifices for all who were not clean, to consecrate them to Yahweh. 18 For a majority of the people, many from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves. But they ate the Passover sacrifice otherwise than prescribed,[f] but Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, “May the good Yahweh make atonement unto 19 everyone whose heart is set to seek God, Yahweh the God of his ancestors,[g] though not according to the cleansing for the sanctuary.” 20 And Yahweh listened to Hezekiah, and he healed the people. 21 And the Israelites[h] who were found in Jerusalem kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with great joy. And the Levites and the priests were offering praise to Yahweh day by day, with powerful instruments to Yahweh. 22 And Hezekiah spoke to the heart of all the Levites who were skilled at service[i] to Yahweh. So they ate the feast seven days, offering peace offerings and giving thanks to Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.[j]
23 Then the whole assembly decided to make seven more days of feasting, so they made seven more days with joy, 24 for Hezekiah the king of Judah had provided[k] one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep for the assembly, and the princes provided[l] one thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep for the assembly. And many priests consecrated themselves. 25 And the whole assembly of Judah, the priests and the Levites, all the assembly who had come from the land of Israel, and those living in Judah rejoiced. 26 And there was great joy in Jerusalem, for from the days of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, there was nothing such as this in Jerusalem. 27 Then the priests and the Levites arose and blessed the people, and their voice was heard, and their prayer came to his holy dwelling place in the heavens.

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.
