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.
Josiah kept a Passover to Yahweh in Jerusalem. They killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 Vaihma hah thaw a poe teh, BAWIPA im dawk thaw tawk hanlah tha a poe.
He set the priests in their offices and encouraged them in the service of Yahweh’s house.
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.
He said to the Levites who taught all Israel, who were holy to Yahweh, “Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built. It will no longer be a burden on your shoulders. Now serve Yahweh your God and 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.
Prepare yourselves after your fathers’ houses by your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.
5 Na hmaunawnghanaw imthungkhu kahrawikung hoi ka kamcu lah Levih taminaw hanlah hmuen ao e patetlah kathounge hmuen koe awm awh.
Stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of your brothers the children of the people, and let there be for each a portion of a fathers’ house of the Levites.
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.
Kill the Passover lamb, sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to Yahweh’s word by 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.
Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and young goats, all of them for the Passover offerings, to all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls. These were of the king’s substance.
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.
His princes gave a free will offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the rulers of God’s house, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand six hundred small livestock, and three hundred head of cattle.
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.
Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small livestock and five hundred head of cattle.
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.
So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their divisions, according to the king’s commandment.
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.
They killed the Passover lambs, and the priests sprinkled the blood which they received from their hands, and the Levites skinned them.
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.
They removed the burnt offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of the children of the people, to offer to Yahweh, as it is written in the book of Moses. They did the same with the cattle.
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.
They roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance. They boiled the holy offerings in pots, in cauldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of the 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.
Afterward they prepared for themselves and for the priests, because the priests the sons of Aaron were busy with offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night. Therefore the Levites prepared for themselves and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
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.
The singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their place, according to the commandment of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the gatekeepers were at every gate. They didn’t need to depart from their service, because their brothers the Levites prepared 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.
So all the service of Yahweh was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover, and to offer burnt offerings on Yahweh’s altar, according to the commandment 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.
The children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread 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 like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet, nor did any of the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept—with the priests, the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 Josiah a bawinae kum 18 nah ceitakhai pawiteh a sak awh.
This Passover was kept in the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah.
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 all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates, and Josiah went out against 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 ambassadors to him, saying, “What have I to do with you, you king of Judah? I come not against you today, but against the house with which I have war. God has commanded me to make haste. Beware that it is God who is with me, that he not destroy 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.
Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and didn’t listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley 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.
The archers shot at King Josiah; and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, because I am seriously 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.
So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
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.
Jeremiah lamented for Josiah, and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel. Behold, they are 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 acts of Josiah and his good deeds, according to that which is written in Yahweh’s law,
27 ahmaloe hoi a hnukteng e hai khenhaw! Isarel siangpahrang hoi Judah siangpahrang lairui thutnae cauk dawk thut e lah ao.
and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
