30–BOB
Shoh Hizqiyo Fisih ziyofati va Xamirturushsiz non bayramini nishonlaydi
1-4 Isroil xalqi Fisih ziyofatini oʻz vaqtida — birinchi oyda nishonlay olmagan edi, chunki koʻp ruhoniylar oʻzlarini hanuz poklamagan va odamlarning aksariyat qismi Quddusga yigʻilmagan edi. Shuning uchun shoh Hizqiyo, uning aʼyonlari va Quddusdagi jamoa Fisih ziyofatini ikkinchi oyda nishonlashga qaror qildilar. Shoh Hizqiyo butun Isroil va Yahudo xalqiga, shuningdek, Efrayim va Manashe qabilalariga bu haqda xabar joʻnatib, ularni Isroil xalqining Xudosiga — Egamizga atalgan Fisih ziyofatini nishonlash uchun Egamizning Quddusdagi uyiga taklif qildi.
5 Janubdagi Bershebadan tortib, to shimoldagi Dan shahrigacha boʻlgan Isroil hududlarida istiqomat qilgan hamma odamlar Fisih ziyofatini nishonlash uchun Quddusga taklif qilindi. Negaki bu ziyofat ancha vaqtdan beri, qonunda koʻrsatilganday, butun xalq tomonidan nishonlanmagan edi. 6 Choparlar shoh va uning aʼyonlari nomidan yozilgan maktubni butun Isroil va Yahudo xalqlariga yetkazdilar. Maktubda quyidagilar bitilgan edi:
“Ey Ossuriya bosqinchilaridan omon qolgan Isroil xalqi! Ibrohimning, Isʼhoqning va Yoqubning Xudosi — Egamizga qaytinglar, shunda U ham sizga qaytadi. 7 Egasi Xudoga xiyonat qilgan ota–bobolaringizga va Isroillik qarindoshlaringizga oʻxshamanglar. Oʻzingiz koʻrib turganingizday Xudo ularni qattiq jazoladi. 8 Ota–bobolaringiz singari qaysar boʻlmanglar, Egamizga boʻysuninglar, Uning Maʼbadiga kelinglar. Egamiz Maʼbadni abadiy muqaddas qilgan. Egangiz Xudoga sajda qilinglar, ana shunda U gʻazabidan tushadi. 9 Agar Egamizga qaytsangiz, qarindoshu bola–chaqalaringizni asir qilgan bosqinchilar ularga rahm qiladilar, uylariga qaytib kelishlariga yoʻl qoʻyadilar. Zotan, Egangiz Xudo inoyatli va rahmdildir. Unga qaytsangiz, U sizdan yuzini oʻgirmaydi.”
10 Shunday qilib, choparlar to shimoldagi Zabulun hududigacha boʻlgan Efrayim va Manashe hududlaridagi hamma shaharlarga kirib chiqdilar. Lekin odamlar zaharxandalik bilan ularni masxara qildilar. 11 Faqat Osher, Manashe va Zabulun qabilasidan baʼzilari itoat etib, Quddusga keldilar. 12 Yahudo xalqini esa Xudo birlashtirib, ularga shoh va aʼyonlarning koʻrsatmasini bajarishga xohish bergan edi. Bu koʻrsatma Egamizning amriga asoslangan edi.
13 Ikkinchi oyda Xamirturushsiz non bayramini nishonlash uchun juda koʻp xalq Quddusga yigʻildi. 14 Ular Quddusdagi hamma begona qurbongohlarni va hamma tutatqi qurbongohlarini qoʻporib, Qidron soyligiga uloqtirib tashladilar. 15 Ikkinchi oyning oʻn toʻrtinchi kuni esa Fisih qoʻzilarini soʻydilar. Oʻzlarini poklamagan ruhoniylar va levilar uyatli ahvolda qolganidan poklanish marosimini ado etib, kuydiriladigan qurbonliklarini Egamizning uyiga olib keldilar. 16 Soʻng ular Xudoning odami Musoning qonuniga muvofiq Maʼbadda oʻz joylarini egalladilar. Ruhoniylar levilarning qoʻlidan qurbonlik qonini olib, qurbongohga sepdilar. 17 Xalqdan koʻpchiligi oʻzlarini poklamagani uchun Fisih qoʻzisini qurbon qila olmadilar. Bunday odamlarning Fisih qoʻzisini soʻyish va Egamizga atash vazifasini levilarning oʻzlari bajardilar. 18 Efrayim, Manashe, Issaxor va Zabulun qabilasidan kelganlarning aksariyati oʻzlarini poklamagan boʻlsalar–da, Xudoning qonuniga zid ravishda Fisih taomidan tanovul qildilar. Lekin Hizqiyo ular uchun quyidagicha ibodat qildi: “Ey Egam, muruvvating ila bu bandalaringni kechir. 19 Ular poklanish marosimini ado etmagan boʻlsalar–da, ey Egamiz, ular Senga chin yurakdan sajda qilishga qaror etganlar. Axir, Sen ota–bobolarining Xudosisan.” 20 Hizqiyoning ibodatini Egamiz eshitib, xalqni kechirdi, ularga zarar yetkazmadi.
21 Quddusda toʻplangan xalq katta xursandchilik bilan yetti kun davomida Xamirturushsiz non bayramini nishonladi. Levilar va ruhoniylar har kuni sozlarning baland kuylari joʻrligida Egamizni madh qildilar. 22 Hizqiyo Egamizga xizmat qilishda mohirlik koʻrsatgan hamma levilarni ruhlantirdi. Xullas, xalq tinchlik nazrlarini qurbon qildi, ota–bobolarining Xudosiga — Egamizga shukronalar aytib, yetti kun bayram taomini tanovul qildi.
Ikkinchi bayram
23 Butun jamoa bayramni yana yetti kun nishonlashga qaror qildi. Shunday qilib, ular yana yetti kun xursandchilik bilan bayram qildilar. 24 Yahudo shohi Hizqiyo jamoaga qurbonlik qilish uchun 1000 ta buqa va 7000 ta qoʻy berdi. Shoh aʼyonlari esa 1000 ta buqa va 10.000 ta qoʻy berdilar. Juda koʻp ruhoniylar oʻzlarini pokladilar. 25 Yahudo xalqi, ruhoniylar, levilar, Isroil xalqi, Isroil va Yahudoda istiqomat qilayotgan musofirlar oʻzlarida yoʻq xursand edilar. 26 Quddusda katta xursandchilik hukm surardi. Isroil shohi Dovud oʻgʻli Sulaymon zamonidan beri Quddusda bunday voqea yuz bermagan edi. 27 Soʻngra ruhoniylar va levilar turib, xalqni duo qildilar. Ularning ibodati Xudoning samodagi muqaddas makoniga yetib, ijobat boʻldi.
1 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 Beer-sheba 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.
