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 passover to the Lord his God; and sacrificed the passover 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 appointed the priests at their charges, and encouraged them for the services of 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 told the Levites that were able [to act] in all Israel, that they should consecrate themselves to the Lord: and they put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built: and the king said, Ye must not carry anything on your shoulders: now then minister 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 according to the houses of your families, and according to your daily courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and [the order] by the hand of his son Solomon.

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 stand ye in the house according to the divisions of the houses of your families for your brethren the sons of the people; [so] also let there be for the Levites a division of the house of their family.

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 kill ye the passover, and prepare [it] for your brethren, to do according to the word of the Lord, 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 as an offering to the children of the people, sheep, and lambs, and kids of the young of the goats, all for the passover, [even for] all that were found, in number [amounting to] thirty thousand, and three thousand calves, these [were] of the substance of the king.

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 gave an offering to the people, and to the priests, and to the Levites: and Chelcias and Zacharias and Jeiel the chief men gave to the priests of the house of God, they even gave for the passover sheep, and lambs, and kids, two thousand six hundred, and three hundred calves.

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 Banaeas, and Samaeas, and Nathanael his brother, and Asabias, and Jeiel, and Jozabad, heads of the Levites, gave an offering to the Levites for the passover, of five thousand sheep and five hundred calves.

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 service was duly ordered, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their divisions, according to the command of the king.

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 they slew the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hand, and the Levites flayed [the victims].

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 prepared the whole-burnt-offering to give to them, according to the division by the houses of families, [even] to the sons of the people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses.

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 thus [they did] till the morning. And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance; and boiled the holy [pieces] in copper vessels and caldrons, and [the feast] went on well, and they quickly served all the children of 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 after they had prepared for themselves and for the priests, for the priests [were engaged] in offering the whole-burnt-offerings and the fat until night, then the Levites prepared for themselves, and for their brethren the sons of Aaron.

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 sons of Asaph the psalm-singers [were] at their post according to the commands of David, and Asaph, and Aeman, and Idithom, the prophets of the king: also, the chiefs and the porters of the several gates; —it was not for them to stir from the service of the holy things, for their brethren the Levites prepared 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 ordered and prepared in that day, for keeping the passover, and offering the whole-burnt-sacrifices on the altar of the Lord, according to the command 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 present kept the passover 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.

And there was no passover like it in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet, or any king of Israel: they kept not such a passover as Josias, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Juda and Israel that were present, and the dwellers in Jerusalem, kept to the Lord.

19 Josiah kah ram kum hlai rhet vaengah Yoom he a saii.

In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias this passover was kept, after all these things that Josias did in the house.

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.

And Pharao Nechao king of Egypt went up against the king of the Assyrians to the river Euphrates, and king Josias went 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.

And he sent messengers to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, O king of Juda? I am not come to-day to war against thee; and God has told me to hasten: beware of the God that is with me, lest he destroy 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.

However, Josias turned not his face from him, but strengthened himself to fight against him, and hearkened not to the words of Nechao by the mouth of God, and he came to fight in the plain 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 the archers shot at king Josias; and the king said to his servants, Take me away, for I am severely 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 his servants lifted him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot which he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried with his fathers: and all Juda and Jerusalem lamented over Josias.

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.

And Jeremias mourned over Josias, and all the chief men and chief women uttered a lamentation over Josias until this day: and they made it an ordinance for Israel, and, behold, it is written in the lamentations.

26 Josiah kah ol noi neh BOEIPA olkhueng dongah a daek bangla a sitlohnah khaw,

And the rest of the acts of Josias, and his hope, are written in 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 acts, the first and the last, behold, [they are] written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
