2 Chronicles 35
1 Then Josiah celebrated the Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem, and the Passover lamb was slaughtered on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Fecit autem Iosias in Ierusalem Phase Domino, quod immolatum est quartadecima die mensis primi:
2 He appointed the priests to their duties and encouraged them in the service of the house of the LORD.
et constituit Sacerdotes in officiis suis, hortatusque est eos ut ministrarent in domo Domini.
3 To the Levites who taught all Israel and were holy to the LORD, Josiah said: “Put the holy ark in the temple built by Solomon son of David king of Israel. It is not to be carried around on your shoulders. Now serve the LORD your God and His people Israel.
Levitis quoque, ad quorum eruditionem omnis Israel sanctificabatur Domino, locutus est: Ponite arcam in sanctuario templi, quod ædificavit Salomon filius David rex Israel, nequaquam enim eam ultra portabitis: nunc autem ministrate Domino Deo vestro, et populo eius Israel.
4 Prepare yourselves by families in your divisions, according to the instructions written by David king of Israel and Solomon his son.
Et præparate vos per domos, et cognationes vestras in divisionibus singulorum, sicut præcepit David rex Israel, et descripsit Salomon filius eius.
5 Moreover, stand in the Holy Place by the divisions of the families of your kinsmen the lay people, and by the divisions of the families of the Levites.
Et ministrate in sanctuario per familias turmasque Leviticas,
6 Slaughter the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves, and make preparations for your fellow countrymen to carry out the word of the LORD given by Moses.”
et sanctificati immolate Phase: fratres etiam vestros, ut possint iuxta verba, quæ locutus est Dominus in manu Moysi facere, præparate.
7 From his own flocks and herds Josiah contributed 30,000 lambs and goats plus 3,000 bulls for the Passover offerings for all the people who were present.
Dedit præterea Iosias omni populo, qui ibi fuerat inventus in sollemnitate Phase, agnos et hœdos de gregibus, et reliqui pecoris triginta millia, boum quoque tria millia. hæc de regis universa substantia.
8 His officials also contributed willingly to the people and priests and Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the administrators of the house of God, gave the priests 2,600 Passover offerings and 300 bulls.
Duces quoque eius, sponte quod voverant, obtulerunt, tam populo, quam Sacerdotibus et Levitis. Porro Helcias, et Zacharias, et Iahiel principes domus Domini, dederunt sacerdotibus ad faciendum Phase pecora commixtim duo millia sexcenta, et boves trecentos.
9 Additionally, Conaniah and his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, as well as Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, officers of the Levites, donated to the Levites 5,000 Passover offerings and 500 bulls.
Chonenias autem, et Semeias, etiam Nathanael fratres eius, necnon Hasabias, et Iehiel, et Iozabad principes Levitarum, dederunt ceteris Levitis ad celebrandum Phase quinque millia pecorum, et boves quingentos.
10 So the service was prepared; the priests stood in their places and the Levites in their divisions according to the king’s command.
Præparatumque est ministerium, et steterunt Sacerdotes in officio suo: Levitæ quoque in turmis, iuxta regis imperium.
11 And they slaughtered the Passover lambs, while the priests sprinkled the blood handed to them and the Levites skinned the animals.
Et immolatum est Phase: asperseruntque Sacerdotes manu sua sanguinem, et Levitæ detraxerunt pelles holocaustorum:
12 They set aside the burnt offerings to be given to the divisions of the families of the people to offer to the LORD, as is written in the Book of Moses; and they did the same with the bulls.
et separaverunt ea ut darent per domos et familias singulorum, et offerrentur Domino, sicut scriptum est in Libro Moysi: de bobus quoque fecerunt similiter.
13 They roasted the Passover animals on the fire according to the regulation, and they boiled the other holy offerings in pots, kettles, and bowls and quickly brought them to all the people.
Et assaverunt Phase super ignem, iuxta quod in lege scriptum est: pacificas vero hostias coxerunt in lebetibus, et cacabis, et ollis, et festinato distribuerunt universæ plebi:
14 Afterward, they made preparations for themselves and for the priests, since the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were offering up burnt offerings and fat until nightfall. So the Levites made preparations for themselves and for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
sibi autem, et Sacerdotibus postea paraverunt: nam in oblatione holocaustorum et adipum usque ad noctem Sacerdotes fuerunt occupati: unde Levitæ sibi, et Sacerdotibus filiis Aaron paraverunt novissimis.
15 The singers, the descendants of Asaph, were at their stations according to the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer. And the gatekeepers at each gate did not need to leave their position, because their fellow Levites made preparations for them.
Porro cantores filii Asaph stabant in ordine suo, iuxta præceptum David, et Asaph, et Heman, et Idithun prophetarum regis: Ianitores vero per portas singulas observabant, ita ut nec puncto quidem discederent a ministerio: quam ob rem et fratres eorum Levitæ paraverunt eis cibos.
16 So on that day the entire service of the LORD was carried out for celebrating the Passover and offering burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD, according to the command of King Josiah.
Omnis igitur cultura Domini rite completa est in die illa ut facerent Phase, et offerrent holocausta super altare Domini, iuxta præceptum regis Iosiæ.
17 The Israelites who were present also observed the Passover at that time, as well as the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days.
Feceruntque filii Israel, qui reperti fuerant ibi, Phase in tempore illo, et sollemnitatem azymorum septem diebus.
18 No such Passover had been observed in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet. None of the kings of Israel ever observed a Passover like the one that Josiah observed with the priests, the Levites, all Judah, the Israelites who were present, and the people of Jerusalem.
Non fuit Phase simile huic in Israel a diebus Samuelis prophetæ: sed nec quisquam de cunctis regibus Israel fecit Phase sicut Iosias, Sacerdotibus, et Levitis, et omni Iudæ, et Israel qui repertus fuerat, et habitantibus in Ierusalem.
19 In the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign, this Passover was observed.
Octavodecimo anno regni Iosiæ hoc Phase celebratum est.
20 After all this, when Josiah had set the temple in order, Neco king of Egypt marched up to fight at Carchemish by the Euphrates, and Josiah went out to confront him.
Postquam instauraverat Iosias templum, ascendit Nechao rex Ægypti ad pugnandum in Charcamis iuxta Euphraten: et processit in occursum eius Iosias.
21 But Neco sent messengers to him, saying, “What is the issue between you and me, O king of Judah? I have not come against you today, but I am fighting another dynasty. God told me to hurry; so stop opposing God, who is with me, or He will destroy you!”
At ille, missis ad eum nunciis, ait: Quid mihi et tibi est rex Iuda? non adversum te hodie venio, sed contra aliam pugno domum, ad quam me Deus festinato ire præcepit: desine adversum Deum facere, qui mecum est, ne interficiat te.
22 Josiah, however, did not turn away from him; instead, in order to engage him in battle, he disguised himself. He did not listen to Neco’s words from the mouth of God, but went to fight him on the Plain of Megiddo.
Noluit Iosias reverti, sed præparavit contra eum bellum, nec acquievit sermonibus Nechao ex ore Dei: verum perrexit ut dimicaret in campo Mageddo.
23 There the archers shot King Josiah, who said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am badly wounded!”
Ibique vulneratus a sagittariis, dixit pueris suis: Educite me de prælio, quia oppido vulneratus sum.
24 So his servants took him out of his chariot, put him in his second chariot, and brought him to Jerusalem, where he died. And Josiah was buried in the tomb of his fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for him.
Qui transtulerunt eum de curru in alterum currum, qui sequebatur eum more regio, et asportaverunt eum in Ierusalem, mortuusque est, et sepultus in mausoleo patrum suorum: et universus Iuda et Ierusalem luxerunt eum.
25 Then Jeremiah lamented over Josiah, and to this day all the choirs of men and women sing laments over Josiah. They established them as a statute for Israel, and indeed they are written in the Book of Laments.
Ieremias maxime: cuius omnes cantores atque cantatrices, usque in præsentem diem lamentationes super Iosiam replicant, et quasi lex obtinuit in Israel: Ecce scriptum fertur in lamentationibus.
26 As for the rest of the acts of Josiah, along with his deeds of loving devotion according to what is written in the Law of the LORD—
Reliqua autem sermonum Iosiæ et misericordiarum eius: quæ lege præcepta sunt Domini:
27 his acts from beginning to end—they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
opera quoque illius prima et novissima, scripta sunt in Libro regum Iuda et Israel.
