Chronicles II 35
1 And Josias kept a passover to the Lord his God; and sacrificed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
约西亚在耶路撒冷向耶和华守逾越节。正月十四日，就宰了逾越节的羊羔。
2 And he appointed the priests at their charges, and encouraged them for the services of the house of the Lord.
王分派祭司各尽其职，又勉励他们办耶和华殿中的事；
3 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, You must not carry anything on your shoulders: now then minister to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel.
又对那归耶和华为圣、教训以色列人的利未人说：“你们将圣约柜安放在以色列王大卫儿子所罗门建造的殿里，不必再用肩扛抬。现在要事奉耶和华—你们的 神，服事他的民以色列。
4 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.
你们应当按着宗族，照着班次，遵以色列王大卫和他儿子所罗门所写的，自己预备。
5 And stand you 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.
要按着你们的弟兄，这民宗族的班次，站在圣所，每班中要利未宗族的几个人。
6 And kill you the passover, and prepare [it] for your brethren, to do according to the word of the Lord, by the hand of Moses.
要宰逾越节的羊羔，洁净自己，为你们的弟兄预备了，好遵守耶和华借摩西所吩咐的话。”
7 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.
约西亚从群畜中赐给在那里所有的人民，绵羊羔和山羊羔三万只，牛三千只，作逾越节的祭物；这都是出自王的产业中。
8 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 and six hundred, and three hundred calves.
约西亚的众首领也乐意将牺牲给百姓和祭司利未人；又有管理 神殿的希勒家、撒迦利亚、耶歇将羊羔二千六百只，牛三百只，给祭司作逾越节的祭物。
9 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.
利未人的族长歌楠雅和他两个兄弟示玛雅、拿坦业，与哈沙比雅、耶利、约撒拔将羊羔五千只，牛五百只，给利未人作逾越节的祭物。
10 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.
这样，供献的事齐备了。祭司站在自己的地方，利未人按着班次站立，都是照王所吩咐的。
11 And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hand, and the Levites flayed [the victims].
利未人宰了逾越节的羊羔，祭司从他们手里接过血来洒在坛上；利未人剥皮，
12 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.
将燔祭搬来，按着宗族的班次分给众民，好照摩西书上所写的，献给耶和华；献牛也是这样。
13 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 cauldrons, and [the feast] went on well, and they quickly served all the children of the people.
他们按着常例，用火烤逾越节的羊羔。别的圣物用锅，用釜，用罐煮了，速速地送给众民。
14 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.
然后为自己和祭司预备祭物；因为祭司亚伦的子孙献燔祭和脂油，直到晚上。所以利未人为自己和祭司亚伦的子孙，预备祭物。
15 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.
歌唱的亚萨之子孙，照着大卫、亚萨、希幔，和王的先见耶杜顿所吩咐的，站在自己的地位上。守门的看守各门，不用离开他们的职事，因为他们的弟兄利未人给他们预备祭物。
16 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.
当日，供奉耶和华的事齐备了，就照约西亚王的吩咐守逾越节，献燔祭在耶和华的坛上。
17 And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
当时在耶路撒冷的以色列人守逾越节，又守除酵节七日。
18 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.
自从先知撒母耳以来，在以色列中没有守过这样的逾越节，以色列诸王也没有守过，像约西亚、祭司、利未人、在那里的犹大人，和以色列人，以及耶路撒冷居民所守的逾越节。
19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias this passover was kept, after all these things that Josias did in the house.
这逾越节是约西亚作王十八年守的。
20 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.
这事以后，约西亚修完了殿，有埃及王尼哥上来，要攻击靠近幼发拉底河的迦基米施；约西亚出去抵挡他。
21 And he sent messengers to him, saying, What have I to do with you, O king of Juda? I am not come today to war against you; and God has told me to hasten: beware of the God that is with me, lest he destroy you.
他差遣使者来见约西亚，说：“犹大王啊，我与你何干？我今日来不是要攻击你，乃是要攻击与我争战之家，并且 神吩咐我速行，你不要干预 神的事，免得他毁灭你，因为 神是与我同在。”
22 However, Josias turned not his face from him, but strengthened himself to fight against him, and listened not to the words of Nechao by the mouth of God, and he came to fight in the plain of Mageddo.
约西亚却不肯转去离开他，改装要与他打仗，不听从 神借尼哥之口所说的话，便来到米吉多平原争战。
23 And the archers shot at king Josias; and the king said to his servants, Take me away, for I am severely wounded.
弓箭手射中约西亚王。王对他的臣仆说：“我受了重伤，你拉我出阵吧！”
24 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.
他的臣仆扶他下了战车，上了次车，送他到耶路撒冷，他就死了，葬在他列祖的坟墓里。犹大人和耶路撒冷人都为他悲哀。
25 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.
耶利米为约西亚作哀歌。所有歌唱的男女也唱哀歌，追悼约西亚，直到今日；而且在以色列中成了定例。这歌载在哀歌书上。
26 And the rest of the acts of Josias, and his hope, are written in the law of the Lord.
约西亚其余的事和他遵着耶和华律法上所记而行的善事，
27 And his acts, the first and the last, behold, [they are] written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
并他自始至终所行的，都写在以色列和犹大列王记上。
