2 Chronicles 30

KJV

1  And Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Judah,³⁰⁶³ and wrote³⁷⁸⁹ letters¹⁰⁷ also¹⁵⁷¹ to⁵⁹²¹ Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ and Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ that they should come⁹³⁵ to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ at Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ to keep⁶²¹³ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

2  For the king⁴⁴²⁸ had taken counsel,³²⁸⁹ and his princes,⁸²⁶⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ to keep⁶²¹³ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ in the second⁸¹⁴⁵ month.²³²⁰

3  For³⁵⁸⁸ they could³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ keep⁶²¹³ it at that¹⁹³¹ time,⁶²⁵⁶ because³⁵⁸⁸ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ had not³⁸⁰⁸ sanctified themselves⁶⁹⁴² sufficiently,⁴⁰⁷⁸ neither³⁸⁰⁸ had the people⁵⁹⁷¹ gathered themselves together⁶²² to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

4  And the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ pleased^{3474 5869} the king⁴⁴²⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation.⁶⁹⁵¹

5  So they established⁵⁹⁷⁵ a decree¹⁶⁹⁷ to make proclamation^{5674 6963} throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ from Beer-sheba^{4480 884} even to⁵⁷⁰⁴ Dan,¹⁸³⁵ that they should come⁹³⁵ to keep⁶²¹³ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ at Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ they had not³⁸⁰⁸ done⁶²¹³ it of a long⁷²³⁰ time in such sort as it was written.³⁷⁸⁹

6  So the posts⁷³²³ went¹⁹⁸⁰ with the letters¹⁰⁷ from^{4480 3027} the king⁴⁴²⁸ and his princes⁸²⁶⁹ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Judah,³⁰⁶³ and according to the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the king,⁴⁴²⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Ye children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ turn again⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Abraham,⁸⁵ Isaac,³³²⁷ and Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and he will return⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ the remnant⁷⁶⁰⁴ of you, that are escaped⁶⁴¹³ out of the hand^{4480 3709} of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria.⁸⁰⁴

7  And be¹⁹⁶¹ not⁴⁰⁸ ye like your fathers,¹ and like your brethren,²⁵¹ which⁸³⁴ trespassed⁴⁶⁰³ against the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers,¹ who therefore gave them up⁵⁴¹⁴ to desolation,⁸⁰⁴⁷ as⁸³⁴ ye⁸⁵⁹ see.⁷²⁰⁰

8  Now⁶²⁵⁸ be ye not stiffnecked,^{408 7185 6203} as your fathers¹ were, but yield^{5414 3027} yourselves unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and enter⁹³⁵ into his sanctuary,⁴⁷²⁰ which⁸³⁴ he hath sanctified⁶⁹⁴² forever:⁵⁷⁶⁹ and serve^{5647 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God,⁴³⁰ that the fierceness²⁷⁴⁰ of his wrath⁶³⁹ may turn away⁷⁷²⁵ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ you.

9  For³⁵⁸⁸ if ye turn again⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁵⁹²¹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ your brethren²⁵¹ and your children¹¹²¹ shall find compassion⁷³⁵⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them that lead them captive,⁷⁶¹⁷ so that they shall come again⁷⁷²⁵ into this²⁰⁶³ land:⁷⁷⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God⁴³⁰ is gracious²⁵⁸⁷ and merciful,⁷³⁴⁹ and will not³⁸⁰⁸ turn away⁵⁴⁹³ his face⁶⁴⁴⁰ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ you, if⁵¹⁸ ye return⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ him.

10  So the posts⁷³²³ passed^{1961 5674} from city^{4480 5892} to city⁵⁸⁹² through the country⁷⁷⁶ of Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ and Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ Zebulun:²⁰⁷⁴ but they laughed them to scorn,^{1961 7832 5921} and mocked³⁹³² them.

11  Nevertheless³⁸⁹ divers³⁷⁶ of Asher^{4480 836} and Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ and of Zebulun^{4480 2074} humbled themselves,³⁶⁶⁵ and came⁹³⁵ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

12  Also¹⁵⁷¹ in Judah³⁰⁶³ the hand³⁰²⁷ of God⁴³⁰ was¹⁹⁶¹ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ them one²⁵⁹ heart³⁸²⁰ to do⁶²¹³ the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ and of the princes,⁸²⁶⁹ by the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

13  And there assembled⁶²² at Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ much⁷²²⁷ people⁵⁹⁷¹ to keep^{6213 853} the feast²²⁸² of unleavened bread⁴⁶⁸² in the second⁸¹⁴⁵ month,²³²⁰ a very³⁹⁶⁶ great⁷²³⁰ congregation.⁶⁹⁵¹

14  And they arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ and took away^{5493 853} the altars⁴¹⁹⁶ that⁸³⁴ were in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the altars for incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ took they away,⁵⁴⁹³ and cast⁷⁹⁹³ them into the brook⁵¹⁵⁸ Kidron.⁶⁹³⁹

15  Then they killed⁷⁸¹⁹ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ on the fourteenth^{702 6240} day of the second⁸¹⁴⁵ month:²³²⁰ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ were ashamed,³⁶³⁷ and sanctified themselves,⁶⁹⁴² and brought in⁹³⁵ the burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

16  And they stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in⁵⁹²¹ their place⁵⁹⁷⁷ after their manner,⁴⁹⁴¹ according to the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of Moses⁴⁸⁷² the man³⁷⁶ of God:⁴³⁰ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ sprinkled^{2236 853} the blood,¹⁸¹⁸ which they received of the hand^{4480 3027} of the Levites.³⁸⁸¹

17  For³⁵⁸⁸ there were many⁷²²⁷ in the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ that⁸³⁴ were not³⁸⁰⁸ sanctified:⁶⁹⁴² therefore the Levites³⁸⁸¹ had the charge of⁵⁹²¹ the killing⁷⁸²¹ of the passovers⁶⁴⁵³ for every one³⁶⁰⁵ that was not³⁸⁰⁸ clean,²⁸⁸⁹ to sanctify⁶⁹⁴² them unto the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

18  For³⁵⁸⁸ a multitude⁴⁷⁶⁸ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ even many⁷²²⁷ of Ephraim,^{4480 669} and Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ Issachar,³⁴⁸⁵ and Zebulun,²⁰⁷⁴ had not³⁸⁰⁸ cleansed themselves,²⁸⁹¹ yet³⁵⁸⁸ did they eat^{398 853} the passover⁶⁴⁵³ otherwise³⁸⁰⁸ than it was written.³⁷⁸⁹ But³⁵⁸⁸ Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ prayed⁶⁴¹⁹ for⁵⁹²¹ them, saying,⁵⁵⁹ The good²⁸⁹⁶ LORD³⁰⁶⁸ pardon³⁷²² every one¹¹⁵⁷

19  That prepareth³⁵⁵⁹ his heart³⁸²⁴ to seek¹⁸⁷⁵ God,⁴³⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of his fathers,¹ though he be not³⁸⁰⁸ cleansed according to the purification²⁸⁹³ of the sanctuary.⁶⁹⁴⁴

20  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ to⁴¹³ Hezekiah,³¹⁶⁹ and healed^{7495 853} the people.⁵⁹⁷¹

21  And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ that were present⁴⁶⁷² at Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ kept^{6213 853} the feast²²⁸² of unleavened bread⁴⁶⁸² seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days³¹¹⁷ with great¹⁴¹⁹ gladness:⁸⁰⁵⁷ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ praised¹⁹⁸⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ day³¹¹⁷ by day,³¹¹⁷ singing with loud⁵⁷⁹⁷ instruments³⁶²⁷ unto the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

22  And Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ comfortably^{5921 3820} unto all³⁶⁰⁵ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ that taught⁷⁹¹⁹ the good²⁸⁹⁶ knowledge⁷⁹²² of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and they did eat³⁹⁸ throughout⁸⁵⁴ the feast⁴¹⁵⁰ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days,³¹¹⁷ offering²⁰⁷⁶ peace⁸⁰⁰² offerings,²⁰⁷⁷ and making confession³⁰³⁴ to the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹

23  And the whole³⁶⁰⁵ assembly⁶⁹⁵¹ took counsel³²⁸⁹ to keep⁶²¹³ other³¹² seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days:³¹¹⁷ and they kept⁶²¹³ other seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days³¹¹⁷ with gladness.⁸⁰⁵⁷

24  For³⁵⁸⁸ Hezekiah²³⁹⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ did give⁷³¹¹ to the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ bullocks⁶⁴⁹⁹ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ sheep;⁶⁶²⁹ and the princes⁸²⁶⁹ gave⁷³¹¹ to the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ bullocks⁶⁴⁹⁹ and ten⁶²³⁵ thousand⁵⁰⁵ sheep:⁶⁶²⁹ and a great number⁷²³⁰ of priests³⁵⁴⁸ sanctified themselves.⁶⁹⁴²

25  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ with the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ that came⁹³⁵ out of Israel,^{4480 3478} and the strangers¹⁶¹⁶ that came⁹³⁵ out of the land^{4480 776} of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and that dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Judah,³⁰⁶³ rejoiced.⁸⁰⁵⁵

26  So there was¹⁹⁶¹ great¹⁴¹⁹ joy⁸⁰⁵⁷ in Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ since the time^{4480 3117} of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of David¹⁷³² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ there was not³⁸⁰⁸ the like²⁰⁶³ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

27  Then the priests³⁵⁴⁸ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ and blessed^{1288 853} the people:⁵⁹⁷¹ and their voice⁶⁹⁶³ was heard,⁸⁰⁸⁵ and their prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ came⁹³⁵ up to his holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ dwelling place,⁴⁵⁸³ even unto heaven.⁸⁰⁶⁴

1 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Εζεκιας ἐπὶ πάντα Ισραηλ καὶ Ιουδαν καὶ ἐπιστολὰς ἔγραψεν ἐπὶ τὸν Εφραιμ καὶ Μανασση ἐλθεῖν εἰς οἶκον κυρίου εἰς Ιερουσαλημ ποιῆσαι τὸ φασεκ τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ Ισραηλ

2 καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία ἡ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ποιῆσαι τὸ φασεκ τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ

3 οὐ γὰρ ἠδυνάσθησαν αὐτὸ ποιῆσαι ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ὅτι οἱ ἱερεῖς οὐχ ἡγνίσθησαν ἱκανοί καὶ ὁ λαὸς οὐ συνήχθη εἰς Ιερουσαλημ

4 καὶ ἤρεσεν ὁ λόγος ἐναντίον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐναντίον τῆς ἐκκλησίας

5 καὶ ἔστησαν λόγον διελθεῖν κήρυγμα ἐν παντὶ Ισραηλ ἀπὸ Βηρσαβεε ἕως Δαν ἐλθόντας ποιῆσαι τὸ φασεκ κυρίῳ θεῷ Ισραηλ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ὅτι πλῆθος οὐκ ἐποίησεν κατὰ τὴν γραφήν

6 καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ τρέχοντες σὺν ταῖς ἐπιστολαῖς παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων εἰς πάντα Ισραηλ καὶ Ιουδαν κατὰ τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦ βασιλέως λέγοντες υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἐπιστρέψατε πρὸς θεὸν Αβρααμ καὶ Ισαακ καὶ Ισραηλ καὶ ἐπιστρέψει τοὺς ἀνασεσῳσμένους τοὺς καταλειφθέντας ἀπὸ χειρὸς βασιλέως Ασσουρ

7 καὶ μὴ γίνεσθε καθὼς οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ὑμῶν οἳ ἀπέστησαν ἀπὸ κυρίου θεοῦ πατέρων αὐτῶν καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς ἐρήμωσιν καθὼς ὑμεῖς ὁρᾶτε

8 καὶ νῦν μὴ σκληρύνητε τοὺς τραχήλους ὑμῶν δότε δόξαν κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ καὶ εἰσέλθατε εἰς τὸ ἁγίασμα αὐτοῦ ὃ ἡγίασεν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ δουλεύσατε τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ ὑμῶν καὶ ἀποστρέψει ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν θυμὸν ὀργῆς

9 ὅτι ἐν τῷ ἐπιστρέφειν ὑμᾶς πρὸς κύριον οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν ἔσονται ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς ἔναντι πάντων τῶν αἰχμαλωτισάντων αὐτούς καὶ ἀποστρέψει εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην ὅτι ἐλεήμων καὶ οἰκτίρμων κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν καὶ οὐκ ἀποστρέψει τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἀφ᾽ ἡμῶν ἐὰν ἐπιστρέψωμεν πρὸς αὐτόν

10 καὶ ἦσαν οἱ τρέχοντες διαπορευόμενοι πόλιν ἐκ πόλεως ἐν τῷ ὄρει Εφραιμ καὶ Μανασση καὶ ἕως Ζαβουλων καὶ ἐγένοντο ὡς καταγελῶντες αὐτῶν καὶ καταμωκώμενοι

11 ἀλλὰ ἄνθρωποι Ασηρ καὶ ἀπὸ Μανασση καὶ ἀπὸ Ζαβουλων ἐνετράπησαν καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ιερουσαλημ

12 καὶ ἐν Ιουδα ἐγένετο χεὶρ κυρίου δοῦναι αὐτοῖς καρδίαν μίαν ἐλθεῖν τοῦ ποιῆσαι κατὰ τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων ἐν λόγῳ κυρίου

13 καὶ συνήχθησαν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ λαὸς πολὺς τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ ἐκκλησία πολλὴ σφόδρα

14 καὶ ἀνέστησαν καὶ καθεῖλαν τὰ θυσιαστήρια τὰ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ πάντα ἐν οἷς ἐθυμιῶσαν τοῖς ψευδέσιν κατέσπασαν καὶ ἔρριψαν εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν Κεδρων

15 καὶ ἔθυσαν τὸ φασεκ τῇ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ δευτέρου καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐνετράπησαν καὶ ἡγνίσθησαν καὶ εἰσήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώματα εἰς οἶκον κυρίου

16 καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τὴν στάσιν αὐτῶν κατὰ τὸ κρίμα αὐτῶν κατὰ τὴν ἐντολὴν Μωυσῆ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐδέχοντο τὰ αἵματα ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν Λευιτῶν

17 ὅτι πλῆθος τῆς ἐκκλησίας οὐχ ἡγνίσθη καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἦσαν τοῦ θύειν τὸ φασεκ παντὶ τῷ μὴ δυναμένῳ ἁγνισθῆναι τῷ κυρίῳ

18 ὅτι τὸ πλεῖστον τοῦ λαοῦ ἀπὸ Εφραιμ καὶ Μανασση καὶ Ισσαχαρ καὶ Ζαβουλων οὐχ ἡγνίσθησαν ἀλλὰ ἔφαγον τὸ φασεκ παρὰ τὴν γραφήν καὶ προσηύξατο Εζεκιας περὶ αὐτῶν λέγων κύριος ὁ ἀγαθὸς ἐξιλασάσθω ὑπὲρ

19 πάσης καρδίας κατευθυνούσης ἐκζητῆσαι κύριον τὸν θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν καὶ οὐ κατὰ τὴν ἁγνείαν τῶν ἁγίων

20 καὶ ἐπήκουσεν κύριος τῷ Εζεκια καὶ ἰάσατο τὸν λαόν

21 καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ οἱ εὑρεθέντες ἐν Ιερουσαλημ τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ μεγάλῃ καὶ καθυμνοῦντες τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμέραν καθ᾽ ἡμέραν καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐν ὀργάνοις τῷ κυρίῳ

22 καὶ ἐλάλησεν Εζεκιας ἐπὶ πᾶσαν καρδίαν τῶν Λευιτῶν καὶ τῶν συνιόντων σύνεσιν ἀγαθὴν τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ συνετέλεσαν τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας θύοντες θυσίας σωτηρίου καὶ ἐξομολογούμενοι τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν

23 καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο ἡ ἐκκλησία ἅμα ποιῆσαι ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἄλλας καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ

24 ὅτι Εζεκιας ἀπήρξατο τῷ Ιουδα τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ μόσχους χιλίους καὶ ἑπτακισχίλια πρόβατα καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες ἀπήρξαντο τῷ λαῷ μόσχους χιλίους καὶ πρόβατα δέκα χιλιάδας καὶ τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἱερέων εἰς πλῆθος

25 καὶ ηὐφράνθη πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία Ιουδα καὶ οἱ εὑρεθέντες ἐξ Ισραηλ καὶ οἱ προσήλυτοι οἱ ἐλθόντες ἀπὸ γῆς Ισραηλ καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ιουδα

26 καὶ ἐγένετο εὐφροσύνη μεγάλη ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ἀπὸ ἡμερῶν Σαλωμων υἱοῦ Δαυιδ βασιλέως Ισραηλ οὐκ ἐγένετο τοιαύτη ἑορτὴ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ

27 καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ Λευῖται καὶ ηὐλόγησαν τὸν λαόν καὶ ἐπηκούσθη ἡ φωνὴ αὐτῶν καὶ ἦλθεν ἡ προσευχὴ αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ κατοικητήριον τὸ ἅγιον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν

1 Misit quoque Ezechias ad omnem Israël et Judam: scripsitque epistolas ad Ephraim et Manassen ut venirent ad domum Domini in Jerusalem, et facerent Phase Domino Deo Israël.

2 Inito ergo consilio regis et principum, et universi cœtus Jerusalem, decreverunt ut facerent Phase mense secundo.

3 Non enim potuerant facere in tempore suo, quia sacerdotes qui possent sufficere, sanctificati non fuerant, et populus nondum congregatus fuerat in Jerusalem.

4 Placuitque sermo regi, et omni multitudini.

5 Et decreverunt ut mitterent nuntios in universum Israël, de Bersabee usque Dan, ut venirent, et facerent Phase Domino Deo Israël in Jerusalem: multi enim non fecerant sicut lege præscriptum est.

6 Perrexeruntque cursores cum epistolis ex regis imperio, et principum ejus, in universum Israël et Judam, juxta id quod rex jusserat, prædicantes: Filii Israël, revertimini ad Dominum Deum Abraham, et Isaac, et Israël: et revertetur ad reliquias quæ effugerunt manum regis Assyriorum.

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

8 Nolite indurare cervices vestras, sicut patres vestri: tradite manus Domino, et venite ad sanctuarium ejus quod sanctificavit in æternum: servite Domino Deo patrum vestrorum, et avertetur a vobis ira furoris ejus.

9 Si enim vos reversi fueritis ad Dominum, fratres vestri et filii habebunt misericordiam coram dominis suis, qui illos duxerunt 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 ad Zabulon, illis irridentibus et subsannantibus eos.

11 Attamen quidam viri ex Aser, et Manasse, et Zabulon acquiescentes consilio, venerunt Jerusalem.

12 In Juda vero facta est manus Domini ut daret eis cor unum, ut facerent juxta præceptum regis et principum verbum Domini.

13 Congregatique sunt in Jerusalem populi multi ut facerent solemnitatem azymorum, in mense secundo:

14 et surgentes destruxerunt altaria quæ erant in Jerusalem, atque universa in quibus idolis adolebatur incensum, subvertentes, projecerunt in torrentem Cedron.

15 Immolaverunt autem Phase quartadecima die mensis secundi. Sacerdotes quoque atque Levitæ tandem sanctificati, obtulerunt holocausta in domo Domini:

16 steteruntque in ordine suo juxta dispositionem et legem Moysi hominis Dei: sacerdotes vero suscipiebant effundendum sanguinem de manibus Levitarum,

17 eo quod multa turba sanctificata non esset: et idcirco immolarent Levitæ Phase his qui non occurrerant sanctificari Domino.

18 Magna etiam pars populi de Ephraim, et Manasse, et Issachar, et Zabulon, quæ sanctificata non fuerat, comedit Phase non juxta 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 imputabit eis quod minus sanctificati sunt.

20 Quem exaudivit Dominus, et placatus est populo.

21 Feceruntque filii Israël, qui inventi sunt in Jerusalem, solemnitatem azymorum septem diebus in lætitia magna, laudantes Dominum per singulos dies: Levitæ quoque et sacerdotes per organa quæ suo officio congruebant.

22 Et locutus est Ezechias ad cor omnium Levitarum qui habebant intelligentiam bonam super Domino: et comederunt septem diebus solemnitatis, immolantes victimas pacificorum, et laudantes Dominum Deum patrum suorum.

23 Placuitque universæ multitudini ut celebrarent etiam alios dies septem: quod et fecerunt cum ingenti gaudio.

24 Ezechias enim rex Juda præbuerat multitudini mille tauros, et septem millia ovium: principes vero dederant populo tauros mille, et oves decem millia: sanctificata est ergo sacerdotum plurima multitudo.

25 Et hilaritate perfusa omnis turba Juda, tam sacerdotum et Levitarum, quam universæ frequentiæ quæ venerat ex Israël: proselytorum quoque de terra Israël, et habitantium in Juda.

26 Factaque est grandis celebritas in Jerusalem, qualis a diebus Salomonis filii David regis Israël in ea urbe non fuerat.

27 Surrexerunt autem sacerdotes atque Levitæ benedicentes populo: et exaudita est vox eorum, pervenitque oratio in habitaculum sanctum cæli.
