2 Setouknae 35
1 Josiah ni Jerusalem vah BAWIPA hanlah ceitakhai pawi a sak. Thapa yung pasuek, hnin hlaipali hnin vah, ceitakhai pawi hanlah a thei.
Now Josiah kept the Passover to the Lord in Jerusalem, and it was immolated on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 Vaihma hah thaw a poe teh, BAWIPA im dawk thaw tawk hanlah tha a poe.
And he appointed the priests in their offices, and he exhorted them to minister in the house of the Lord.
3 Isarelnaw kacangkhaikung lah Cathut hanlah hmoun e Levihnaw koe, Isarel siangpahrang Devit capa Solomon ni im a sak e dawk kathounge thingkong hah hrueng awh leih. Na loung hoi hrawm hanlah ngai mahoeh toe. BAWIPA na Cathut hoi a tami Isarelnaw thaw hah tawk awh leih.
Also, he spoke with the Levites, by whose instruction all of Israel was sanctified to the Lord, saying: “Place the ark in the sanctuary of the temple, which Solomon, the son of David, the king of Israel, built. For never again shall you carry it. Instead, now you shall minister to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel.
4 Isarel siangpahrang Devit hoi a capa ni thut e patetlah imthungkhu kahrawikungnaw hoi kamcu lah ahuhu lahoi o hanlah kârakueng awh.
And prepare yourselves by your houses and families, within each division, just as David, the king of Israel, instructed, and just as his son Solomon has written.
5 Na hmaunawnghanaw imthungkhu kahrawikung hoi ka kamcu lah Levih taminaw hanlah hmuen ao e patetlah kathounge hmuen koe awm awh.
And minister in the sanctuary, by the Levitical families and companies.
6 Ceitakhai pawi thuengnae hah thet awh nateh, kâthoung sak awh. Mosi hno laihoi BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah sak thai awh nahan na hmaunawnghanaw hanlah kârakueng awh.
And having been sanctified, immolate the Passover. And then prepare your brothers, so that they may be able to act in accord with the words which the Lord has spoken by the hand of Moses.”
7 Josiah ni hote hmuen koe kaawm e taminaw han hoi ceitakhai pawi koe kaawm e tami pueng hanelah, saring dawk tu hoi hmaeca 30, 000 touh hoi maitotan 3, 000 touh a poe awh. Hotnaw teh siangpahrang hnopai dawk hoi e doeh.
After this, Josiah gave to all the people, those who had been found there at the solemnity of the Passover, thirty thousand lambs and young goats from the flocks, and other kinds of small cattle, and also three thousand oxen. All these were from the substance of the king.
8 Hahoi, kahrawikungnaw ni ma lungtho lahoi tamipueng hane, vaihma hane, hoi Levihnaw hanelah a poe awh. Cathut im kaukkung Hilkiah Zekhariah, Jehiel tinaw ni ceitakhai pawi hanelah tu hoi hmaeca 2,600 touh hoi maitotan 300 touh vaihma koe a poe awh.
Also, his rulers offered what they had vowed freely, as much for the people as for the priests and Levites. Moreover, Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Jehiel, rulers of the house of the Lord, gave to the priests, in order to observe the Passover, two thousand six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.
9 Konaniah hoi a nawngha Shemaiah, Nathanel hoi Levihnaw kaukkungnaw e kaukkung Hashabiah, Jeiel, Jozabad tinaw nihai, ceitakhai pawi hanlah Levihnaw hah tu hoi hmaeca 5, 000 touh hoi maitotan 500 touh a poe awh.
And Conaniah, with Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, indeed also Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, rulers of the Levites, gave to the rest of the Levites, in order to celebrate the Passover, five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.
10 Hottelah thaw tawknae teh a kârakueng awh teh, siangpahrang ni kâpoe e patetlah vaihmanaw teh amae hmuen koevah, a kangdue awh teh, Levihnaw haiyah ahuhu lahoi a kangdue awh.
And the ministry was prepared. And the priests stood in their office, and the Levites also stood in their companies, according to the order of the king.
11 Hote ceitakhai pawi hanlah a thei awh teh, vaihmanaw ni a thi hah a kathek awh. Levihnaw ni a pho hah a ho awh.
And the Passover was immolated. And the priests sprinkled the blood with their hand, and the Levites drew away the pelts of the holocausts.
12 Mosi cauk dawk kaawm e patetlah a imthungkhu lahoi lengkaleng thaw a rei e patetlah BAWIPA koe poe hanelah hmaisawi han satheinaw hoi maitonaw hah a kârei awh.
And they put these aside, so that they might give them to each one, by their houses and families, and so that they might be offered to the Lord, just as it was written in the book of Moses. And with the oxen, they acted similarly.
13 Hote ceitakhai pawi ca hanelah, aphung patetlah kahmin lah a pâeng awh. Hateiteh, poe e moi kathounge hah hlaam, arai kaawm hoeh e hlaam hoi sum hlaam dawk a thawng awh teh, taminaw koe a ceikhai awh.
And they roasted the Passover above fire, in accord with what was written in the law. Yet truly, the victims of peace offerings they boiled in cauldrons and kettles and pots. And they promptly distributed these to all the common people.
14 Hathnukkhu, amamouh hoi vaihmanaw hanlah bout a kârakueng awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Aron e capa vaihmanaw teh hmaisawi thuengnae khoungroe dawk moi thaw hah poe hoi tangmin totouh a tawk awh. Hatdawkvah, Levihnaw ni amamouh hoi Aron e capa vaihmanaw hanlah bout rakung hanlah a ngainae doeh.
Then afterward, they made preparations for themselves and for the priests. Indeed, the priests had been occupied in the oblations of the holocausts and the fat offerings, even until night. Therefore, the Levites made preparations for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron, last.
15 Hahoi, Devit, Asaph, Heman hoi siangpahrang profet Jeduthun naw ni kâ poe e patetlah la ka sak e Asaph capanaw teh amamae hmuen dawk a kangdue awh. Hote longkha karingkungnaw teh, longkha tangkuem koevah, ao awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a hmaunawngha Levihnaw ni a rakueng pouh dawkvah, a thaw hah ceitakhai awh han ngai hoeh.
Now the singers, the sons of Asaph, were standing in their order, according to the instruction of David, and of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the prophets of the king. Truly, the porters kept watch at each gate, so as not to depart from their ministry even for one moment. And for this reason, their brothers, the Levites, prepared foods for them.
16 Hottelah, siangpahrang Josiah ni kâ poe e patetlah ceitakhai pawi sak han hoi, BAWIPA e khoungroe dawk hmaisawi thuengnae poe hanelah hote hnin dawk BAWIPA thaw tawknae hnonaw pueng hah a rakueng awh.
And so, the entire worship ritual of the Lord was completed on that day, so that they observed the Passover and offered holocausts upon the altar of the Lord, in accord with the precept of king Josiah.
17 Hote hmuen koe kaawm e Isarelnaw ni hote hnin dawk ceitakhai pawi hah a sak awh. Tonphuenhoehe vaiyei pawi haiyah hnin sari touh thung a hno awh.
And the sons of Israel, who had been found there, kept the Passover at that time, with the solemnity of unleavened bread, for seven days.
18 Profet Samuel se nahoi Isarel ram vah hot patetlah ceitakhai pawi sak awh boihoeh. Isarel siangpahrang apinihai Josiah, vaihmanaw, Levihnaw hoi Judah tami pueng hoi Isarelnaw ni a sak e patetlah sak awh boihoeh.
There was no Passover similar to this one in Israel, from the days of Samuel the prophet. And neither did anyone, out of all the kings of Israel, keep such a Passover as did Josiah, the priests and Levites, and all those of Judah and Israel who had been found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 Josiah a bawinae kum 18 nah ceitakhai pawiteh a sak awh.
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah, this Passover was celebrated.
20 Hathnukkhu hoi Josiah ni bawkim be a pathoup hnukkhu, Izip siangpahrang Neko teh, Kakhemish tuk hanelah Euphrates palang a cei teh Josiah ni a tuk.
After Josiah had repaired the temple, Neco, the king of Egypt, ascended to fight at Carchemish, beside the Euphrates. And Josiah went out to meet him.
21 Hatei, ahni ni nang Judah siangpahrang kai hoi nang bangmaw kâtuk hanelah kaawm. Sahnin vah nang na tuk hanelah, ka tho hoeh bo. Ka tuk lahun e tuk hanelah doeh ka tho. Cathut ni na huerang hanelah kâ na poe. Kai koe lah kampang e Cathut hah taran hanh. Na raphoe payon vaih telah laicei a patoun.
But he sent messengers to him, saying: “What is there between me and you, O king of Judah? I have not come against you today. Instead, I am fighting against another house, to which God instructed me to go promptly. Refrain from acting against God, who is with me, otherwise he may kill you.”
22 Hatei, Josiah ni ban takhai hane ngai hoeh. A tuk thai nahan a meilam a kâthung teh, Cathut e a pahni dawk hoi ka tâcawt e Neko ni dei e hah tarawi ngai pouh hoeh. Megiddo tanghling vah, ahnimouh tuk hanelah a cei.
Josiah was not willing to return. Instead, he prepared for war against him. Neither would he agree to the words of Neco from the mouth of God. In truth, he traveled so that he might do battle in the field of Megiddo.
23 Licung kapatuemnaw ni Josiah hah a kâ awh teh siangpahrang ni a sannaw koevah, kai hah na cetkhai awh leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hmâ puenghoi ka ca toe telah a ti.
And there, having been wounded by archers, he said to his servants: “Lead me away from the battle. For I have been severely wounded.”
24 A sannaw ni leng dawk hoi a la awh teh, alouke leng dawk a hruek awh. Jerusalem a ceikhai awh teh, a due hnukkhu a na mintoenaw e phuen dawk a pakawp awh. Judahnaw hoi Jerusalem kaawm e naw ni Josiah a khui awh.
And they took him from the chariot, into another chariot which was following him, as was the custom of kings. And they transported him to Jerusalem. And he died, and he was buried in the mausoleum of his fathers. And all of Judah and Jerusalem mourned for him,
25 Jeremiah ni Josiah hah a khui. La ka sak e napui tongpa naw ni a na minca totouh Josiah khuinae a dei awh rah. Isarel ram dawk phung a tawn awh teh, khenhaw! khuinae la dawkvah a thut awh.
most of all Jeremiah. All the singing men and women repeat his lamentations over Josiah, even to the present day. And this has become like a law in Israel. Behold, it is found written in the Lamentations.
26 Josiah a kâroenae dawk hoi kaawm rae pueng BAWIPA e kâlawk dawk ao e patetlah hnokahawi ka sak e,
Now the rest of the words of Josiah, and his mercies, which were instructed by the law of the Lord,
27 ahmaloe hoi a hnukteng e hai khenhaw! Isarel siangpahrang hoi Judah siangpahrang lairui thutnae cauk dawk thut e lah ao.
and also his works, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
