2 Chronicles 35
1 Josiah held a Passover for the Lord in Jerusalem, and the Passover lamb was killed on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Síwájú sí i, Josiah ṣe ìrántí àjọ ìrékọjá sí Olúwa ní Jerusalẹmu, Ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn àjọ ìrékọjá náà ni wọ́n sì pa ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá oṣù kìn-ín-ní.
2 He assigned the priests to their respective duties and encouraged them in their ministry at the Lord's Temple.
Ó sì yàn àwọn àlùfáà sí iṣẹ́ wọn, ó sì gbà wọ́n ní ìyànjú ní ìsìn ilé Olúwa.
3 Josiah told the Levites who taught all Israel and were holy to the Lord, “Place the holy Ark in the Temple built by Solomon, son of David, king of Israel. It's not necessary for you to carry it around on your shoulders any more. Your responsibility now is to serve the Lord your God and his people Israel.
Ó sì wí fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi, ẹni tí ń kọ́ gbogbo àwọn Israẹli ẹni tí a ti yà sí mímọ́ fún Olúwa pé ẹ gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí ìyàsọ́tọ̀ sí ilé Olúwa tí Solomoni ọmọ Dafidi ọba Israẹli ti kọ́. Kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ ẹrù àgbéká ní èjìká rẹ̀. Nísinsin yìí ẹ sin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ Israẹli.
4 Get yourselves ready for service in your divisions, by families, according to the instructions given by David, king of Israel, and his son Solomon.
Ẹ múra sílẹ̀ nípa ìdílé ní ẹsẹẹsẹ yín gẹ́gẹ́ bí àpẹẹrẹ tí a kọ́ láti ọwọ́ Dafidi ọba Israẹli àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọmọ rẹ̀ Solomoni.
5 Then you are to stand in the sanctuary to assist the lay people according to family divisions, following the assignments according to your Levite family divisions.
“Dúró ní ibi mímọ́ pẹ̀lú àkójọpọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Lefi fún ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan ìpín àwọn ìdílé àwọn ẹgbẹ́ ará ìlú, àwọn ènìyàn tí ó dùbúlẹ̀.
6 Sacrifice the Passover lambs, purify yourselves, and be ready to help the people who come to fulfill the requirements given by the Lord through Moses.”
Ẹ pa ẹran àjọ ìrékọjá náà, ẹ ya ara yín sọ́tọ̀ kí ẹ sì pèsè ẹran fún àwọn ẹgbẹ́ arákùnrin yín, kí ẹ sì ṣe ohun tí Olúwa paláṣẹ láti ọwọ́ Mose.”
7 Josiah contributed as Passover offerings for all the people who were present 30,000 lambs and goats, and 3,000 bulls, all from his own flocks and herds.
Josiah sì pàṣẹ fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí ó dùbúlẹ̀ tí ó wà níbẹ̀ iye rẹ̀ jẹ ẹgbàá mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn àti ọmọ ewúrẹ́ fún ẹbọ ìrékọjá, àti pẹ̀lú ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta akọ màlúù, gbogbo wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ohun ìní láti ọ̀dọ̀ ọba.
8 His officials contributed freely to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, who were in charge of God's Temple, gave the priests as Passover offerings 2,600 Passover lambs and 300 bulls.
Àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ fi tinútinú ta àwọn ènìyàn náà ní ọrẹ àti àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ọmọ Lefi. Hilkiah, Sekariah àti Jehieli, àti àwọn olórí ilé Ọlọ́run, fún àwọn àlùfáà ní ẹgbẹ̀tàlá ẹbọ àjọ ìrékọjá àti ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ẹran ọ̀sìn.
9 The leaders of the Levites, Conaniah, and Shemaiah and Nethanel his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, gave the Levites as Passover offerings 5,000 lambs and young goats and 500 bulls.
Àti pẹ̀lú Konaniah àti pẹ̀lú Ṣemaiah àti Netaneli, àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, àti Haṣabiah, Jeieli àti Josabadi olórí àwọn ọmọ Lefi, ó sì pèsè ẹgbẹ̀rún márùn-ún ẹbọ ìrékọjá àti ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀ta orí ẹran ọ̀sìn fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi.
10 Once the preparations had been completed, the priests stood where they had been assigned and the Levites took their places in their divisions as the king had ordered.
Nítorí náà, a múra ìsìn náà sílẹ̀, àwọn àlùfáà sì dúró ní ipò wọn pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ Lefi nípa iṣẹ́ wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba ti pa á láṣẹ.
11 They killed the Passover lambs, the priests sprinkled the blood they were given on the altar, while the Levites skinned the sacrifices.
Ní ti àjọ ìrékọjá a sì pa ẹran, àwọn àlùfáà sì wọ́n ẹ̀jẹ̀ náà tí wọ́n gbé sí ọwọ́ wọn, nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Lefi sì bọ ẹranko.
12 They put to one side the burnt offerings to be given to the families of the lay people, by division, to offer to the Lord, as required in the Book of Moses. They did the same thing with the bulls.
Wọ́n sì ya àwọn ẹbọ sísun sí apá kan láti fi wọ́n fún gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín àwọn ìdílé àwọn ènìyàn láti rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ sínú ìwé Mose. Wọ́n sì ṣe bákan náà pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn.
13 They roasted the Passover sacrifices on the fire as requires, and they boiled the holy offerings in pots, caldrons, and pans, and took them quickly to the lay people.
Wọ́n sì fi sun àjọ ìrékọjá lórí iná gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlànà, wọ́n sì bọ ẹbọ mímọ́ nínú ìkòkò, nínú ọpọ́n àti nínú agbada, wọ́n sì pín wọn kíákíá fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn.
14 After that they prepared food from the offerings for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were busy presenting burnt offerings and fat until night came. So the Levites did this work for themselves and for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
Lẹ́yìn èyí, wọ́n sì múra sílẹ̀ fún ara wọn àti fún àwọn àlùfáà nítorí àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ọmọ Aaroni, ni wọ́n rú ẹbọ sísun àti ọ̀rá títí di àṣálẹ́. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọmọ Lefi sì múra sílẹ̀ fún ara wọn àti fún àwọn ọmọ Aaroni àlùfáà.
15 The singers, the descendants of Asaph, were in their places following the instructions given by David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, the king's seer. The gatekeepers in charge at each gate did not need to leave, because their fellow Levites provided for them.
Àwọn akọrin, àwọn ọmọ Asafu, ni wọ́n wà ní ipò wọn tí a sì paláṣẹ fún wọn láti ọwọ́ Dafidi, Asafu, Hemani àti Jedutuni àwọn aríran ọba àti àwọn olùṣọ́nà ní olúkúlùkù ẹnu-ọ̀nà kò gbọdọ̀ fi ojú ọ̀nà wọn sílẹ̀, nítorí àwọn ẹgbẹ́ ọmọ lefi ti múra sílẹ̀ fún wọn.
16 So on that day the whole Passover service of the Lord was took place, including the presenting of burnt offerings on the altar of the Lord, as King Josiah had ordered.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àsìkò náà gbogbo àwọn ìsìn Olúwa ni wọ́n gbé jáde fún iṣẹ́ ìrántí àjọ ìrékọjá àti láti rú ẹbọ sísun lórí pẹpẹ Olúwa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba Josiah ti pa á láṣẹ.
17 The Israelites who were there also celebrated Passover at that time, and also the Feast of Unleavened Bread for the following seven days.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí ó gbé kalẹ̀ ṣe ìrántí àjọ ìrékọjá ní àkókò náà àti àjọ àkàrà àìwú fún ọjọ́ méje.
18 No Passover like this had been held in Israel since the time of Samuel the prophet. None of the kings of Israel had ever held a Passover like the one that Josiah observed with the priests, the Levites, all of Judah, the Israelites who were there, and the people of Jerusalem.
Àjọ ìrékọjá náà kò sì tí ì sí èyí tí ó dàbí i rẹ̀ ní Israẹli títí dé ọjọ́ wòlíì Samuẹli, kò sì sí ọ̀kan lára àwọn ọba Israẹli tí ó pa irú àjọ ìrékọjá bẹ́ẹ̀ mọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí Josiah ti ṣe, pẹ̀lú àwọn àlùfáà àwọn ọmọ Lefi àti gbogbo àwọn Juda àti Israẹli tí ó wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu.
19 This Passover was observed in the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah.
Àjọ ìrékọjá yìí ni a ṣe ìrántí ní ọdún kejìdínlógún ìjọba Josiah.
20 After all this work that Josiah had carried out in restoring the Temple, King Neco of Egypt was leading his army to fight at Carchemish near the Euphrates, and Josiah went to confront him.
Lẹ́yìn gbogbo èyí nígbà tí Josiah ti tún ilẹ̀ náà ṣetán, Neko ọba Ejibiti gòkè lọ láti bá Karkemiṣi jà lórí odo Eufurate, Josiah sì jáde lọ láti pàdé rẹ̀ ní ibi ìjà.
21 Neco sent messengers to him, saying, “What argument is there between you and me, king of Judah? I have not come to attack you today, because I'm fighting with another kingdom. God told me I should hurry, so stop obstructing God, who is with me, or he'll destroy you!”
Ṣùgbọ́n Neko rán ìránṣẹ́ sí i wí pé, “Ìjà wo ni ó ń bẹ láàrín èmi àti ìwọ, ọba Juda? Kì í ṣe ìwọ ni èmi tọ̀ wá ní àkókò yìí, ṣùgbọ́n, ilé pẹ̀lú èyí ti mo bá níjà. Ọlọ́run ti sọ fún mi láti yára àti láti dúró nípa ṣíṣe ìdènà Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí ó wà pẹ̀lú mi, kí òun má bá a pa ọ́ run.”
22 But Josiah did not turn away and leave. Instead, he disguised himself so he could fight Neco in battle. He ignored Neco's message that came from God, and went to fight him on the Plain of Megiddo.
Josiah, kò yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ó pa ara rẹ̀ dà kí ó le bá a jà, kó sì fi etí sí ọ̀rọ̀ Neko láti ẹnu Ọlọ́run wá, ó sì wá jagun ní àfonífojì Megido.
23 There archers shot King Josiah. He called out those beside him, “Get me out of the battle, because I'm badly wounded!”
Tafàtafà sì ta ọfà sí ọba Josiah, ó sì sọ fún àwọn ìjòyè pé, “Ẹ gbé mi kúrò, èmi ti gba ọgbẹ́ gidigidi.”
24 So they carried him out of his chariot, and took him back in his second chariot to Jerusalem, where he died. Josiah was buried in the tomb of his forefathers. All Judah and Jerusalem wept for him.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì gbé e jáde kúrò nínú kẹ̀kẹ́ náà, wọ́n sì gbé e sínú kẹ̀kẹ́ mìíràn, wọ́n sì gbé e wá sí Jerusalẹmu, níbi tí ó ti kú, wọ́n sì sin ín sínú ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ibojì àwọn baba rẹ̀, gbogbo Juda àti gbogbo Jerusalẹmu sì ṣọ̀fọ̀ Josiah.
25 Then Jeremiah wrote a lament over Josiah, and to this day male and female choirs sing sad songs about Josiah. They have become a part of what is regularly sung in Israel, and they are recorded in the Book of Laments.
Jeremiah sì pohùnréré ẹkún fún Josiah, gbogbo àwọn akọrin ọkùnrin àti gbogbo àwọn akọrin obìnrin sì ń sọ ti Josiah nínú orin ẹkún wọn ní Israẹli títí di òní. Èyí sì di àṣà ní Jerusalẹmu, a sì kọ ọ́ sínú àwọn orin ẹkún.
26 The rest of what Josiah did, along with his acts of loyalty following what is written in the Law of the Lord,
Ìyókù iṣẹ́ ìjọba Josiah àti ìwà rere rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí èyí tí a ti kọ sínú ìwé òfin Olúwa.
27 all his actions, from beginning to end, are recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
Gbogbo iṣẹ́ náà, láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ títí dé òpin ni a kọ sínú ìwé àwọn ọba Israẹli àti Juda.
