2 Chronicles 35

1 And Josiah makes a Passover to YHWH in Jerusalem, and they slaughter the Passover-offering on the fourteenth of the first month,

Fecit autem Iosias in Ierusalem Phase Domino, quod immolatum est quartadecima die mensis primi:

2 and he stations the priests over their charges, and strengthens them for the service of the house of YHWH,

et constituit Sacerdotes in officiis suis, hortatusque est eos ut ministrarent in domo Domini.

3 and says to the Levites who are teaching all Israel, who are sanctified to YHWH, “Put the holy Ark in the house that Solomon son of David, king of Israel, built; it is not a burden on the shoulder to you. Now serve your God YHWH 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 and prepare, by the house of your fathers, according to your divisions, by the writing of David king of Israel, and by the writing of his son Solomon,

Et præparate vos per domos, et cognationes vestras in divisionibus singulorum, sicut præcepit David rex Israel, et descripsit Salomon filius eius.

5 and stand in the holy place, by the divisions of the house of the fathers of your brothers, sons of the people, and the portion of the house of a father of the Levites,

Et ministrate in sanctuario per familias turmasque Leviticas,

6 and slaughter the Passover-offering and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the word of YHWH by the hand of Moses.”

et sanctificati immolate Phase: fratres etiam vestros, ut possint iuxta verba, quæ locutus est Dominus in manu Moysi facere, præparate.

7 And Josiah lifts up to the sons of the people a flock of lambs and young goats, the whole for Passover-offerings, for everyone who is found, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand oxen: these [are] from the substance of the king.

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 And his heads, for a willing-offering to the people, to the priests and to the Levites, have lifted up; Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Jehiel, leaders in the house of God, have given two thousand and six hundred to the priests for Passover-offerings, and three hundred oxen;

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 and Conaniah, and Shemaiah, and Nethaneel, his brothers, and Hashabiah, and Jeiel, and Jozabad, heads of the Levites, have lifted up five thousand to the Levites for Passover-offerings, and five hundred oxen.

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 And the service is prepared, and the priests stand on their station, and the Levites on their divisions, according to the command of the king,

Præparatumque est ministerium, et steterunt Sacerdotes in officio suo: Levitæ quoque in turmis, iuxta regis imperium.

11 and they slaughter the Passover-offering, and the priests sprinkle out of their hand, and the Levites are stripping [them];

Et immolatum est Phase: asperseruntque Sacerdotes manu sua sanguinem, et Levitæ detraxerunt pelles holocaustorum:

12 and they turn aside the burnt-offering to put them by the divisions of the house of the fathers of the sons of the people, to bring near to YHWH, as it is written in the scroll of Moses—and so for the oxen.

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 And they cook the Passover with fire according to the ordinance, and they have cooked the sanctified things in pots, and in kettles, and in pans—for all the sons of 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 And afterward they have prepared for themselves and for the priests; for the priests, sons of Aaron, [are occupied] in the offering up of the burnt-offering and of the fat until night; and the Levites have prepared for themselves and for the priests, sons 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 And the singers, sons of Asaph, [are] on their station according to the command of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun seer of the king, and the gatekeepers [are] at every gate; it is not for them to turn aside from off their service, for their brothers the Levites have prepared 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 And all the service of YHWH is prepared on that day to keep the Passover and to cause burnt-offering to ascend on the altar of YHWH, 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 And the sons of Israel who are found make the Passover at that time, and the Celebration of Unleavened Things, [for] seven days.

Feceruntque filii Israel, qui reperti fuerant ibi, Phase in tempore illo, et sollemnitatem azymorum septem diebus.

18 And there has not been made a Passover like it in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet, and none of the kings of Israel made such a Passover as Josiah has made, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who are found, and the inhabitants 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 the reign of Josiah this Passover has been made.

Octavodecimo anno regni Iosiæ hoc Phase celebratum est.

20 After all this, when Josiah has prepared the house, Necho king of Egypt has come up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates, and Josiah goes forth to meet him;

Postquam instauraverat Iosias templum, ascendit Nechao rex Ægypti ad pugnandum in Charcamis iuxta Euphraten: et processit in occursum eius Iosias.

21 and he sends messengers to him, saying, “And what do I [have to do] with you, O king of Judah? I do not come against you today, but to the house with which I have war, and God commanded to hurry me; cease for yourself from God who [is] with me, and He does not 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 And Josiah has not turned around his face from him, but has disguised himself to fight against him, and has not listened to the words of Necho, from the mouth of God, and comes to fight in the Valley 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 and the archers shoot at King Josiah, and the king says to his servants, “Remove me, for I have become very sick.”

Ibique vulneratus a sagittariis, dixit pueris suis: Educite me de prælio, quia oppido vulneratus sum.

24 And his servants remove him from the chariot, and cause him to ride on the second chariot that he has, and cause him to go to Jerusalem, and he dies, and is buried in the graves of his fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem are mourning for Josiah,

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 and Jeremiah laments for Josiah, and all the male and female singers speak in their lamentations of Josiah to this day, and set them for a statute on Israel, and behold, they are written beside the Lamentations.

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 And the rest of the matters of Josiah and his kind acts, according as it is written in the Law of YHWH,

Reliqua autem sermonum Iosiæ et misericordiarum eius: quæ lege præcepta sunt Domini:

27 even his matters, the first and the last, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah.

opera quoque illius prima et novissima, scripta sunt in Libro regum Iuda et Israel.
