2 Khokhuen 35
1 Josiah loh Jerusalem ah BOEIPA kah Yoom te a saii tih hla khat hnin hlai li vaengah Yoom te a ngawn uh.
And Josias kept a phase to the Lord in Jerusalem, and it was sacrificed on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 Khosoih rhoek khaw amamih kah hutnah dongah a khueh tih BOEIPA im kah thothuengnah dongah amih te a duel.
And he set the priests in their offices, and exhorted them to minister in the house of the Lord.
3 BOEIPA ham aka cim Israel pum taengah aka yakming tih aka sim Levi rhoek taengah, “Thingkawng cim te Israel manghai David capa Solomon loh a sak im khuiah khueh uh. Laengpang dongkah hnophueih te nangmih ham moenih. Nangmih kah Pathen BOEIPA neh a pilnam Israel taengah thotat uh laeh.
And he spoke to the Levites, by whose instruction all Israel was sanctified to the Lord, saying: Put the ark in the sanctuary of the temple, which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built: for you shall carry it no more: but minister now to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel.
4 Israel manghai David kah ca neh a capa Solomon ca bangla na pa rhoek imkhui ah namamih kah boelnah neh soepsoei uh lamtah sikim uh laeh.
And prepare yourselves by your houses, and families according to your courses, as David king of Israel commanded, and Solomon his son hath written.
5 Pilnam paca rhoek te na manuca kah a napa imkhui te khaw, Levi imkhui paca phung khaw aitlaeng la hmuencim ah pai uh saeh.
And serve ye in the sanctuary by the families and companies of Levi.
6 Yoom te ngawn uh lamtah ciim uh laeh. Na manuca ham khaw Moses kut dongkah BOEIPA ol bangla vai sak ham sikim uh laeh,” a ti nah.
And being sanctified kill the phase, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the words which the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.
7 Josiah loh pilnam paca ham boiva la tu neh maae ca boeih a tawn tih Yoom kah aka mop boeih ham a pum la thawng sawmthum neh saelhung thawng thum lo. He rhoek he manghai kah khuehtawn lamkah ni.
And Josias gave to all the people that were found there in the solemnity of the phase, of lambs and of kids of the flocks, and of other small cattle thirty thousand, and of oxen three thousand, all these were of the king’s substance.
8 A mangpa rhoek long khaw pilnam ham, khosoih rhoek ham neh Levi rhoek ham kothoh neh a tloeng uh. Pathen im kah rhaengsang Hilkiah, Zekhariah neh Jehiel long khaw Yoom hamla thawng hnih ya rhuk neh saelhung ya thum te khosoih rhoek taengla a paek uh.
And his princes willingly offered what they had vowed, both to the people and to the priests and the Levites. Moreover Helcias, and Zacharias, and Jahiel rulers of the house of the Lord, gave to the priests to keep the phase two thousand six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.
9 Kohnaniah neh Kohnaniah phoeikah a mana rhoi Shemaiah neh Nethanel long khaw, Hashabiah neh Jeiel long khaw, Levi mangpa Jozabad long khaw Levi ham Yoom thawng nga neh saelhung ya nga a tloeng uh.
And Chonenias, and Semeias and Nathanael, his brethren, and Hasabias, and Jehiel, and Jozabad princes of the Levites, gave to the rest of the Levites to celebrate the phase five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.
10 Thothuengnah a sikim phoeiah tah khosoih rhoek khaw amah paihmuen ah, Levi rhoek khaw manghai olpaek bangla amamih kah boelnah neh pai uh.
And the ministry was prepared, and the priests stood in their office: the Levites also in their companies, according to the king’s commandment.
11 Yoom te a ngawn uh tih khosoih rhoek loh a kut neh a haeh uh phoeiah tah Levi rhoek loh a hlaih uh.
And the phase was immolated: and the priests sprinkled the blood with their hand, and the Levites flayed the holocausts:
12 Moses cabu khuikah a daek bangla pilnam paca kah a napa imkhui pacaphung taengah a paek ham khaw, BOEIPA taengah a nawn ham khaw hmueihhlutnah te a rhoe uh. Saelhung khaw te tlam te a saii.
And they separated them to give them by the houses and families of every one, and to be offered to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses, and with the oxen they did in like manner.
13 Khosing bangla Yoom te hmai neh a hmin sakuh. Buhcim te am dongah a thong uh tih voh dongah khaw, bael dongah khaw, pilnam paca boeih taengla a yong puei uh.
And they roasted the phase with fire, according to that which is written in the law: but the victims of peace offerings they boiled in caldrons, and kettles, and pots, and they distributed them speedily among all the people.
14 A hnukah tah amamih ham neh khosoih rhoek ham khaw a soepsoei uh. Aaron koca khosoih rhoek long hmueihhlutnah neh maehtha te kholaeh hil a nawn uh. Te dongah ni Levi rhoek loh amamih ham neh Aaron koca khosoih rhoek ham khaw a soepsoei pauh.
And afterwards they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: for the priests were busied in offering of holocausts and the fat until night: wherefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron last.
15 Asaph koca rhoek long tah David neh Asaph, Heman neh manghai kah khohmu Jeduthun kah olpaek bangla amamih ngolhmuen ah a hlai uh. Vongka, vongka kah thoh tawt rhoek khaw om tih amih te amamih kah thohtatnah kung lamloh nong pawh. Amih ham te a manuca Levi rhoek loh a soepsoei pah coeng.
And the singers the sons of Asaph stood in their order, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Idithun the prophets of the king: and the porters kept guard at every gate, so as not to depart one moment from their service: and therefore their brethren the Levites prepared meats for them.
16 Te khohnin ah BOEIPA kah thothuengnah cungkuem loh sikim tangloeng coeng. Manghai Josiah kah olpaek bangla Yoom saii ham neh BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk dongah hmueihhlutnah nawn hamla om coeng.
So all the service of the Lord was duly accomplished that day, both in keeping the phase, and offering holocausts upon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of king Josias.
17 Te vaeng tue kah Yoom ah aka mop Israel ca rhoek loh vaidamding khotue te khaw hnin rhih khuiah a bul uh.
And the children of Israel that were found there, kept the phase at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
18 Tonghma Samuel tue lamloh Israel khuiah te tlam te Yoom ana saii moenih. Israel manghai boeih long pataeng Josiah neh khosoih rhoek, Levi rhoek, Judah pum neh Israel kah aka mop rhoek, Jerusalem khosa boeih kah a saii bangla Yoom te a saii uh moenih.
There was no phase like to this in Israel, from the days of Samuel the prophet: neither did any of all the kings of Israel keep such a phase as Josias kept, with the priests, and the Levites, and all Juda, and Israel that were found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 Josiah kah ram kum hlai rhet vaengah Yoom he a saii.
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias was this phase celebrated.
20 Josiah loh im te boeih a cikngae sak hnukah tah Egypt manghai Neko tah Perath kah Karkhemish ah vathoh hamla pawk. Te dongah Josiah khaw anih mah hamla cet.
After that Josias had repaired the temple, Nechao king of Egypt came up to fight in Charcamis by the Euphrates: and Josias went out to meet him.
21 Tedae a taengla puencawn a tueih pah tih, “Kai laklo neh Judah manghai nang laklo ah balae aka om? Tahae khohnin ah he nang, namah taengah bueng pawt tih kamah caemtloek imkhui taengah khaw ka pawk. Pathen loh kamah teangah hlawt a thui. Nang te paa palueng, Pathen he kai taengah om tih nang te m'phae mahpawt nim?” a ti nah.
But he sent messengers to him, saying: What have I to do with thee, O king of Juda? I come not against thee this day, but I fight against another house, to which God hath commanded me to go in haste: forbear to do against God, who is with me, lest he kill thee.
22 Tedae Josiah tah anih taeng lamloh a maelhmai hooi pawh. Anih taengah vathoh ham te sa uh. Pathen ka lamkah Neko ol te hnatun pawt tih Megiddo kolbawn ah vathoh hamla cet.
Josias would not return, but prepared to fight against him, and hearkened not to the words of Nechao from the mouth of God, I but went to fight in the field of Mageddo.
23 Tedae aka nuen rhoek loh manghai Josiah te a kah uh. Te dongah manghai loh a sal rhoek taengah, “Kai he n'khuen uh laeh, bahoeng tlo coeng,” a ti nah.
And there he was wounded by the archers, and he said to his servants: Carry me out of the battle, for I am grievously wounded.
24 Te dongah anih te a sal rhoek loh leng dong lamkah a hal uh tih a hmatoeng kah leng dongah a tloeng uh. Te phoeiah anih te Jerusalem la a khuen uh dae duek tih a napa rhoek kah phuel ah a up uh. Te vaengah Judah pum neh Jerusalem loh Josiah hamla nguekcoi uh.
And they removed him from the chariot into another, that followed him after the manner of kings, and they carried him away to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in the monument of his fathers, and all Juda and Jerusalem mourned for him,
25 Jeremiah khaw Josiah ham rhaengsae tih tihnin duela laa sa nu, laa sa pa loh amamih kah rhahlung dongah Josiah te boeih a thui uh. Te te Israel khuiah khaw oltlueh la a khueh uh tih rhahlung dongah a daek uh coeng he.
Particularly Jeremias: whose lamentations for Josias all the singing men and singing women repeat unto this day, and it became like a law in Israel: Behold it is found written in the Lamentations.
26 Josiah kah ol noi neh BOEIPA olkhueng dongah a daek bangla a sitlohnah khaw,
Now the rest of the acts of Josias and of his mercies, according to what was commanded by the law of the Lord:
27 a olka a kung neh a dong khaw Israel neh Judah manghai rhoek cabu dongah a daek coeng ke.
And his works first and last, are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
