1 Hina bagade Yousaia da Hina Godema nodone, Yelusalemega Baligisu Lolo Nasu hamoi. Eso ba: , oubi agega, ilia da Lolo Nasu hamoma: ne, ohe medole lelegei.
Josiah [commanded that the people should] celebrate the Passover Festival to honor Yahweh in Jerusalem. So they slaughtered the lambs for the Passover [Festival] at the end of March.
2 E da gobele salasu dunu, ilia Debolo Diasu ganodini hawa: hamosu amo ilima ilegei. Amola amo noga: le hawa: hamoma: ne, e da ilia dogo denesima: ne sia: i.
Josiah assigned to the priests the tasks that they should perform at the temple and encouraged them to do their work well.
3 Amola e da Lifai fi dunu (ilia da Isala: ili fi ilima olelesu dunu, Hina Gode Ea momogili gagai galu) ilima amane hamoma: ne sia: i, “Dilia Gode Ea Hadigi Gousa: su Sema Gagili amo Debolo Diasu (hina bagade Soloumane, Da: ibidi egefe ea gagui) amo ganodini ligisima. Dilia amo soge eno, soge enoga gaguli ahoasu hou fisili, guiguda: dilia Hina Gode amola Ea fi Isala: ili dunu ilima hawa: hamoma.
The [other] descendants of Levi were the ones who taught all the Israeli people; they had been dedicated to serve Yahweh. Josiah said to them, “Put the Sacred Chest in the temple that [the workers of] David’s son [King] Solomon of Israel built. But [carry it on poles; ] do not carry it on your shoulders. And do your your work well for Yahweh your God and for his Israeli people.
4 Dilia sosogo fi defele, amola dilia hawa: hamosu amo hina bagade Da: ibidi amola egefe hina bagade Soloumane ela dilima ilegei, amo defele, Debolo Diasu ganodini hawa: hamoma.
Divide yourselves into clans, obeying the instructions that King David and his son Solomon wrote.
5 Dilia Isala: ili sosogo fi afae afae noga: le fidima: ne momagema.
Then stand in the temple, with one group of the descendants of Levi to help each clan of the people [when they bring their offerings to the temple].
6 Dilia Baligisu Lolo Nasu sibi mano amola goudi huluane medole legema: ne momagema. Amaiba: le, Isala: ili fi dunu da hamoma: ne sia: i amo Hina Gode da Mousese ea lafidili, ninima i, amo noga: le fa: no bobogema: ne, dilia nigima: dodofema, amola gobele salimusa: ohe momagema.”
Slaughter the lambs for the Passover [Festival]. Perform the rituals to cause yourselves to be acceptable to Yahweh for doing this work. Prepare the sacrifices, doing what Yahweh told Moses to tell you that you should do.”
7 Yuda fi dunu da Baligisu gobele salasu hamoma: ne, hina bagade Yousaia da hina: ohe fofoi wa: i amoga sibi, sibi mano amola goudi mano gilisi 30,000 agoane, amola bulamagau gawali 3,000 agoane i.
Josiah provided [from his own flocks and herds] 30,000 sheep and goats for the Passover sacrifices.
8 Yousaia eagene ouligisu dunu da gobele salasu ohe mogili, dunudafa, gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai fi dunu ilima i. Amola Debolo Diasu ouligisu dunu amo gobele salasu dunuma sibi mano 2,600 agoane, goudi mano mogili amola bulamagau gawali 300 agoane amo gobele salima: ne ilima i.
His officials also voluntarily contributed animals for the people and the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the officials who were in charge of the temple, gave to the priests 2,600 lambs and 300 cattle to be sacrifices for the Passover.
9 Lifai fi ouligisu dunu amo Gononia, Siema: ia, Nida: niele (Siema: ia eya), Ha: siabaia, Yiaiele amola Yosaba: de - ilia da sibi mano amola goudi waha debe mogili 5000 agoane, amola bulamagau gawali 500 agoane - amo Lifai dunu ilia gobele salimusa: ilima i.
And Conaniah along with his [younger] brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the leaders of the [other] descendants of Levi, provided 5,000 lambs and 500 cattle for the other descendants of Levi, to be sacrifices for the Passover.
10 Baligisu Lolo Nasu liligi huluane da momagei dagoloba, hina bagade da amo hamoma: ne sia: beba: le, gobele salasu amola Lifai fi dunu da ilila: sogebiga dadalei.
Everything [for the Passover] was arranged: The priests and the other descendants of Levi stood in their places in their groups, like the king had commanded.
11 Ilia da sibi mano amola goudi medole lelegelalu, Lifai fi dunu da ilia gadofo houga: i. Gobele salasu dunu da maga: me oloda da: iya fogagaga: la: i.
Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs. The priests sprinkled the blood [from the bowls] that were handed to them, while the [other] descendants of Levi removed the skins from the animals.
12 Amalalu, ilia da Mousese ea Sema dedei defele, Hina Godema gobele salimusa: , ilia da sosogo fi afae afae ilima amo ohe gogo fane i.
They set aside the animals to be completely burned on the altar, in order to give them to the various family groups to offer to Yahweh, obeying the instructions that were written in the laws God gave Moses. They did the same thing with the cattle.
13 Lifai fi dunu da God Ea hamoma: ne sia: i dedei defele, Baligisu gobele salasu ohe liligi amo laluma gobele gala: i. Amola ilia da hadigi iasu liligi amo gobele nasu ofodo, sosobeni amola gaga ganodini gobei. Amalalu, ilia hedolowane hu gobei amola dunu ilima sagoi.
Obeying those regulations, they roasted the lambs for the Passover over the fire. And they boiled the [meat of the] sacred offerings in pots and kettles and pans, and served the meat immediately to all the people [who were there].
14 Amalu, Lifai fi dunu da ili manusa: , amola Elane egaga fi gobele salasu dunu ili moma: ne, hu momagele legei. Bai gobele salasu dunu da hawa: hamonanawane gasi. Ilia da ohe mogili gogo gobele sali, amola eno ohe amoga sefe duga: i, amo gobele sali.
After that, they prepared meat for themselves and for the priests, because the priests were busy until nighttime, sacrificing the offerings to be completely burned and burning the fat parts of the offerings. So the [other] descendants of Levi prepared meat for themselves and for the priests, who were descendants of Aaron, [the first Supreme Priest].
15 Da: ibidi ea musa: hamoma: ne sia: i defele, Lifai fi amola A: isa: fe sosogo gesami hea: lala dusu dunu, ilia da ilila: hawa: hamosua lefulubi ba: i. Ilia dio da A: isa: fe, Hima: ne amola Yediudane (hina bagade ea balofede dunu). Debolo Diasu logo ga: su sosodo aligisu dunu da ilia sosodo aligisu sogebi fisili hame ahoasu. Bai Lifai fi dunu oda da Baligisu Lolo ilia moma: ne momagei.
The musicians, who were descendants of Asaph, stood in their places, as King David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s prophet had commanded. The men who guarded the gates [of the temple] did not need to leave their places, because their fellow descendants of Levi prepared food for them to eat.
16 Amaiba: le, hina bagade Yousaia ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele, ilia da Baligisu Lolo Nasu amola oloda da: iya gobele salasu hou, amo huluane ilia da Hina Godema nodomusa: hamoi.
So on that day everything that needed to done for worshiping Yahweh was done. They celebrated the Passover [Festival], and they presented offerings to be completely burned on the altar, which was what Josiah had commanded.
17 Eso fesuale amoga, Isala: ili fi dunu huluane Yelusalemega esalu, ilia da Baligisu Lolo Nasu amola Agi Yisidi Hame Sali Lolo Nasu hahawane hamoi.
The Israelis who were there celebrated the Passover [Festival] on that day, and for seven days they celebrated the Festival of [Eating] Unleavened Bread.
The Passover [Festival] had not been celebrated like that in Israel since the time that the prophet Samuel lived. None of the other kings of Israel had ever celebrated the Passover like Josiah did, along with the priests, the other descendants of Levi, and all [the other people of] Judah and Israel who were there with the people who lived in Jerusalem.
19 Balofede dunu Sa: miuele ea fifi misi eso amogalu, ilia agoane hamedafa hamosu. Isala: ili hina bagade musa: fifi masu, ilia da Baligisu Lolo Nasu amo hina bagade Yousaia, gobele salasu dunu, Lifai fi dunu amola Isala: ili amola Yuda amola Yelusaleme fi dunu ilia da Yousaia ea ouligisu ode 16 amoga hamoi, agoai afae hamedafa hamoi.
They celebrated this Passover Festival when Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years.
20 Hina bagade Yousaia da Debolo Diasu hou noga: le hahamoi. Amogalu, Idibidi hina bagade Nigou da ea dadi gagui wa: i oule, Gagimisi moilai bai bagade (Iufala: idisi Hano bega: dialu) amo doagala: musa: wa: i misi. Yousaia da e gagabomusa: dawa: i.
After Josiah had done all those things to [restore the worship at] the temple, King Neco of Egypt went [with his army] to attack Carchemish [city] alongside the Euphrates [River], and Josiah marched [with his army] to fight against them.
21 Be Nigou da Yousaiama amo sia: adoma: ne sia: si, “Yuda hina bagade! Amo gegesu na waha gegenanebe da dia liligi hame. Na da dima hame gegena misi. Be na da na ha lai dunuma gegena misi. Amola Gode da hedoloma: ne nama adoi. Gode da nama gaiba: le, E da di gugunufinisisa: besa: le, na logo mae hedofama!”
Neco sent some messengers to Josiah, to tell him, “You are the king of Judah, and there is certainly no quarrel between you and me. My army is not attacking you people; we are attacking another army, [the army of Babylonia]. God has told me to hurry. So stop opposing God, who is for me. If you do not stop, God will get rid of you.”
22 Be Yousaia da dafawane gegemusa: dawa: i. E da Gode Ea sia: , Nigou ea lafidili sia: be, amo nabimu higa: i galu. Amaiba: le, e da ea da: i afadenene, Migidou umi amoga gegemusa: asi.
But Josiah would not pay attention to him. Instead, he disguised himself in order to be able to attack [the army of Egypt without anyone recognizing him]. He did not pay any attention to what God had told Neco to say. Instead, he [and his army] went to fight Neco’s army at the plain of Megiddo.
23 Gegenana, Idibidi dunu da gala: gonoba, hina bagade Yousaia da ludi dagoi. E da ea hawa: hamosu dunuma amane sia: i, “Na da se bagade nababeba: le, na enodi gaguli masa!”
Some Egyptian archers shot King Josiah. He told his officers, “Take me away from here because I am badly wounded.”
24 Ilia da e sa: liode da: iya dialu, laleguduli, eno sa: liode da: iya ligisili, Yelusalemega gaguli asi. Amogawi, e da bogobeba: le, ilia da ea da: i hodo amo hina bagade ilia bogoi gele gelaba ligisila asi. Yuda fi dunu amola Yelusaleme fi dunu huluane da e bogoiba: le didigia: i.
So they took him out of his chariot and put him in another chariot that he had brought with him, and they took him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs where his ancestors [had been buried], and all [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah mourned for him.
25 Balofede dunu Yelemaia da Yousaia dawa: musa: , fofagini gesami hahamoi. Wali, Isala: ili gesami hea: su dunu amola uda da Yousaia ea hou dawa: beba: le, didigia: sea, ilia da amo gesami hea: sa. Amo gesami hea: su da fofagini gesami hea: su dedei buga ganodini dedene legei dagoi.
[The prophet] Jeremiah composed a song to mourn for Josiah, and all the men and women singers in Israel still mourn for Josiah by singing that song. That became a custom in Israel; the words of that song are written in a scroll of funeral songs.
26 Yousaia ea hamonanu huluane - ea Hina Godema asigi hou, ea Sema amoma nabasu hou,
A record of the other things that happened while Josiah ruled, from the time he started to rule until he died, including how he faithfully honored God by obeying everything that was written in the laws of Yahweh, is in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel and Judah’.
27 amola ea hawa: hamonanu hemosu asili dagosu - amo huluane da “Isala: ili amola Yuda hina bagade ilia Hamonanu Meloa”, amo ganodini dedene legei.
