2 Chronicles 35

1 Moreouer Iosiah kept a Passeouer vnto the Lord in Ierusalem, and they slewe the Passeouer in the fourtenth day of the first moneth.

١ وَعَمِلَ يُوشِيَّا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فِصْحًا لِلرَّبِّ، وَذَبَحُوا ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي ٱلرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ.

2 And he appointed the Priestes to their charges, and incouraged them to the seruice of the house of the Lord,

٢ وَأَقَامَ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ عَلَى حِرَاسَاتِهِمْ وَشَدَّدَهُمْ لِخِدْمَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

3 And he sayd vnto the Leuites that taught all Israel and were sanctified vnto the Lord, Put the holy Arke in the house which Salomon the sonne of Dauid King of Israel did build: it shalbe no more a burden vpon your shoulders: serue now the Lord your God and his people Israel,

٣ وَقَالَ لِلَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يُعَلِّمُونَ كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا مُقَدَّسِينَ لِلرَّبِّ: «ٱجْعَلُوا تَابُوتَ ٱلْقُدْسِ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَاهُ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. لَيْسَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَحْمِلُوا عَلَى ٱلْأَكْتَافِ. ٱلْآنَ ٱخْدِمُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ وَشَعْبَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

4 And prepare your selues by the houses of your fathers according to your courses, as Dauid the King of Israel hath written, and according to the writing of Salomon his sonne,

٤ وَأَعِدُّوا بُيُوتَ آبَائِكُمْ حَسَبَ فِرَقِكُمْ، حَسَبَ كِتَابَةِ دَاوُدَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَحَسَبَ كِتَابَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنِهِ.

5 And stande in the Sanctuarie according to the deuision of the families of your brethren the children of the people, and after the deuision of the familie of the Leuites:

٥ وَقَفُوا فِي ٱلْقُدْسِ حَسَبَ أَقْسَامِ بُيُوتِ آبَاءِ إِخْوَتِكُمْ بَنِي ٱلشَّعْبِ وَفِرَقِ بُيُوتِ آبَاءِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ،

6 So kill the Passeouer and sanctifie your selues, and prepare your brethren that they may doe according to the worde of the Lord by the hand of Moses.

٦ وَٱذْبَحُوا ٱلْفِصْحَ وَتَقَدَّسُوا وَأَعِدُّوا إِخْوَتَكُمْ لِيَعْمَلُوا حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى».

7 Iosiah also gaue to the people sheepe, lambs and kiddes, all for the Passeouer, euen to all that were present, to the nomber of thirtie thousand, and three thousande bullocks: these were of the Kings substance.

٧ وَأَعْطَى يُوشِيَّا لِبَنِي ٱلشَّعْبِ غَنَمًا، حُمْلَانًا وَجِدَاءً، جَمِيعَ ذَلِكَ لِلْفِصْحِ لِكُلِّ ٱلْمَوْجُودِينَ إِلَى عَدَدِ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا وَثَلَاثَةِ آلَافٍ مِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ. هَذِهِ مِنْ مَالِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

8 And his princes offred willingly vnto the people, to the Priests and to the Leuites: Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Iehiel, rulers of the house of God, gaue vnto the Priests for the Passeouer, euen two thousand and sixe hundreth sheepe, and three hundreth bullockes.

٨ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهُ قَدَّمُوا تَبَرُّعًا لِلشَّعْبِ وَٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ حِلْقِيَا وَزَكَرِيَّا وَيَحْيِئِيلَ رُؤَسَاءِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ. أَعْطَوْا ٱلْكَهَنَةَ لِلْفِصْحِ أَلْفَيْنِ وَسِتَّ مِئَةٍ، وَمِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ.

9 Conaniah also and Shemaiah and Nethaneel his brethren, and Hashabiah and Ieiel, and Iozabad, chiefe of the Leuites gaue vnto the Leuites for the Passeouer, fiue thousand sheepe, and fiue hundreth bullockes.

٩ وَكُونَنْيَا وَشِمْعِيَا وَنِثْنِئِيلُ أَخَوَاهُ وَحَشَبْيَا وَيَعِيئِيلُ وَيُوزَابَادُ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ قَدَّمُوا لِلَّاوِيِّينَ لِلْفِصْحِ خَمْسَةَ آلَافٍ، وَمِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ خَمْسَ مِئَةٍ.

10 Thus the seruice was prepared, and the Priests stoode in their places, also the Leuites in their orders, according to the Kings commandement:

١٠ فَتَهَيَّأَتِ ٱلْخِدْمَةُ، وَقَامَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ فِي مَقَامِهِمْ وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ فِي فِرَقِهِمْ حَسَبَ أَمْرِ ٱلْمَلِكِ،

11 And they slewe the Passeouer, and the Priests sprinkled the blood with their handes, and the Leuites flayed them.

١١ وَذَبَحُوا ٱلْفِصْحَ. وَرَشَّ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ، وَأَمَّا ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ فَكَانُوا يَسْلَخُونَ.

12 And they tooke away from the burnt offering to giue it according to the deuisions of the families of the children of the people, to offer vnto the Lord, as it is written in the booke of Moses, and so of the bullockes.

١٢ وَرَفَعُوا ٱلْمُحْرَقَةَ لِيُعْطُوا حَسَبَ أَقْسَامِ بُيُوتِ ٱلْآبَاءِ لِبَنِي ٱلشَّعْبِ، لِيُقَرِّبُوا لِلرَّبِّ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي سِفْرِ مُوسَى. وَهَكَذَا بِٱلْبَقَرِ.

13 And they rosted the Passeouer with fire, according to ye custome, but the sanctified things they sod in pots, pannes, and cauldrons, and distributed them quickely to all the people.

١٣ وَشَوَوْا ٱلْفِصْحَ بِٱلنَّارِ كَٱلْمَرْسُومِ. وَأَمَّا ٱلْأَقْدَاسُ فَطَبَخُوهَا فِي ٱلْقُدُورِ وَٱلْمَرَاجِلِ وَٱلصِّحَافِ، وَبَادَرُوا بِهَا إِلَى جَمِيعِ بَنِي ٱلشَّعْبِ.

14 Afterwarde also they prepared for them selues and for the Priestes: for the Priestes the sonnes of Aaron were occupied in offering of burnt offrings, and the fat vntill night: therefore the Leuites prepared for them selues, and for the Priests the sonnes of Aaron.

١٤ وَبَعْدُ أَعَدُّوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلِلْكَهَنَةِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ بَنِي هَارُونَ كَانُوا عَلَى إِصْعَادِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ وَٱلشَّحْمِ إِلَى ٱللَّيْلِ. فَأَعَدَّ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلِلْكَهَنَةِ بَنِي هَارُونَ.

15 And the singers the sonnes of Asaph stoode in their standing according to the commandement of Dauid, and Asaph, and Heman, and Ieduthun the Kings Seer: and the porters at euery gate, who might not depart from their seruice: therefore their brethren the Leuites prepared for them.

١٥ وَٱلْمُغَنُّونَ بَنُو آسَافَ كَانُوا فِي مَقَامِهِمْ حَسَبَ أَمْرِ دَاوُدَ وَآسَافَ وَهَيْمَانَ وَيَدُوثُونَ رَائِي ٱلْمَلِكِ. وَٱلْبَوَّابُونَ عَلَى بَابٍ فَبَابٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَحِيدُوا عَنْ خِدْمَتِهِمْ، لِأَنَّ إِخْوَتَهُمُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ أَعَدُّوا لَهُمْ.

16 So all the seruice of the Lord was prepared the same day, to keepe the Passeouer, and to offer burnt offerings vpon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandement of King Iosiah.

١٦ فَتَهَيَّأَ كُلُّ خَدَمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ لِعَمَلِ ٱلْفِصْحِ وَإِصْعَادِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَاتِ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ أَمْرِ ٱلْمَلِكِ يُوشِيَّا.

17 And the children of Israel that were present, kept the Passeouer the same time, and the feast of the vnleauened bread seuen dayes.

١٧ وَعَمِلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْمَوْجُودُونَ ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ، وَعِيدَ ٱلْفَطِيرِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.

18 And there was no Passeouer kept like that, in Israel, from the dayes of Samuel the Prophet: neyther did all the Kings of Israel keepe such a Passeouer as Iosiah kept, and the Priestes and the Leuites, and all Iudah, and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem.

١٨ وَلَمْ يُعْمَلْ فِصْحٌ مِثْلُهُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَيَّامِ صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ. وَكُلُّ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَعْمَلُوا كَٱلْفِصْحِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ يُوشِيَّا وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ وَكُلُّ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْمَوْجُودِينَ وَسُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

19 This Passeouer was kept in the eighteenth yeere of the reigne of Iosiah.

١٩ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّامِنَةَ عَشَرَةَ لِمُلْكِ يُوشِيَّا عُمِلَ هَذَا ٱلْفِصْحُ.

20 After all this, when Iosiah had prepared the Temple, Necho King of Egypt came vp to fight against Carchemish by Perath, and Iosiah went out against him.

٢٠ بَعْدَ كُلِّ هَذَا حِينَ هَيَّأَ يُوشِيَّا ٱلْبَيْتَ، صَعِدَ نَخْوُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ إِلَى كَرْكَمِيشَ لِيُحَارِبَ عِنْدَ ٱلْفُرَاتِ. فَخَرَجَ يُوشِيَّا لِلِقَائِهِ.

21 But he sent messengers to him, saying, What haue I to doe with thee, thou King of Iudah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house of mine enemie, and God commanded me to make haste: leaue of to come against God, which is with me, least he destroy thee.

٢١ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ رُسُلًا يَقُولُ: «مَا لِي وَلَكَ يَا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا! لَسْتُ عَلَيْكَ أَنْتَ ٱلْيَوْمَ، وَلَكِنْ عَلَى بَيْتِ حَرْبِي، وَٱللهُ أَمَرَ بِإِسْرَاعِي. فَكُفَّ عَنِ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي مَعِي فَلَا يُهْلِكَكَ».

22 But Iosiah would not turne his face from him, but changed his apparel to fight with him, and hearkened not vnto the wordes of Necho, which were of the mouth of God, but came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

٢٢ وَلَمْ يُحَوِّلْ يُوشِيَّا وَجْهَهُ عَنْهُ بَلْ تَنَكَّرَ لِمُقَاتَلَتِهِ، وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لِكَلَامِ نخْوٍ مِنْ فَمِ ٱللهِ، بَلْ جَاءَ لِيُحَارِبَ فِي بُقْعَةِ مَجِدُّو.

23 And the shooters shot at king Iosiah: then the King saide to his seruants, Cary me away, for I am very sicke.

٢٣ وَأَصَابَ ٱلرُّمَاةُ ٱلْمَلِكَ يُوشِيَّا، فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «ٱنْقُلُونِي لِأَنِّي جُرِحْتُ جِدًّا».

24 So his seruants tooke him out of that charet, and put him in the seconde charet which he had, and when they had brought him to Ierusalem, he dyed, and was buryed in the sepulchres of his fathers: and all Iudah and Ierusalem mourned for Iosiah.

٢٤ فَنَقَلَهُ عَبِيدُهُ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ وَأَرْكَبُوهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ ٱلَّتِي لَهُ، وَسَارُوا بِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فَمَاتَ وَدُفِنَ فِي قُبُورِ آبَائِهِ. وَكَانَ كُلُّ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ يَنُوحُونَ عَلَى يُوشِيَّا.

25 And Ieremiah lamented Iosiah, and al singing men and singing women mourned for Iosiah in their lamentations to this day, and made the same for an ordinance vnto Israel: and beholde, they be written in the lamentations.

٢٥ وَرَثَى إِرْمِيَا يُوشِيَّا. وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ وَٱلْمُغَنِّيَاتِ يَنْدُبُونَ يُوشِيَّا فِي مَرَاثِيهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَجَعَلُوهَا فَرِيضَةً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَهَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي ٱلْمَرَاثِي.

26 Concerning the rest of the actes of Iosiah and his goodnesse, doing as it was written in the Lawe of the Lord,

٢٦ وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يُوشِيَّا وَمَرَاحِمُهُ حَسْبَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي نَامُوسِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

27 And his deedes, first and last, behold, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Israel and Iudah.

٢٧ وَأُمُورُهُ ٱلْأُولَى وَٱلْأَخِيرَةُ، هَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا.
