< 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.
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 Priestes to their charges, and incouraged them to the seruice 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 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,
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 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,
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 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:
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Thus the seruice was prepared, and the Priests stoode in their places, also the Leuites in their orders, according to the Kings commandement:
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 slewe the Passeouer, and the Priests sprinkled the blood with their handes, and the Leuites flayed them.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Passeouer the same time, and the feast of the vnleauened bread seuen dayes.
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 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.
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 This Passeouer was kept in the eighteenth yeere of the reigne of Iosiah.
这逾越节是约西亚作王十八年守的。
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 shooters shot at king Iosiah: then the King saide to his seruants, Cary me away, for I am very sicke.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Concerning the rest of the actes of Iosiah and his goodnesse, doing as it was written in the Lawe 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 deedes, first and last, behold, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Israel and Iudah.
并他自始至终所行的,都写在以色列和犹大列王记上。
