2 Chronicles 35
1 Josiah kept a Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the Passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Awo Yosiya n’akwata Embaga ey’Okuyitako mu Yerusaalemi, era ne batta omwana gw’endiga, ogw’Embaga ey’Okuyitako ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye.
2 He set the priests in their offices, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD.
N’alonda bakabona mu bifo eby’obuvunaanyizibwa bwabwe, n’abakuutira mu kuweereza kwabwe mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
3 He said to the Levites who taught all Israel, who were holy to the LORD, "Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built. There shall no more be a burden on your shoulders. Now serve the LORD your God, and his people Israel.
N’agamba Abaleevi abaayigirizanga Isirayiri yenna, era abaali abawonge eri Mukama nti, “Muteeke essanduuko entukuvu mu yeekaalu ya Sulemaani mutabani wa Dawudi, kabaka wa Isirayiri, gye yazimba. Si yaakwetikkanga ku bibegabega byammwe. Kaakano muweereze Mukama Katonda wammwe n’abantu be Isirayiri,
4 Prepare yourselves after your fathers' houses and by your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.
mweteeketeeke ng’ennyumba za bajjajjammwe bwe ziri mu masiga gammwe, nga mugoberera ebiragiro Dawudi kabaka wa Isirayiri ne Sulemaani mutabani we bye yawandiika.
5 Stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers' houses of your brothers the lay people, and let there be for each a portion of a fathers' house of the Levites.
“Muyimirire awatukuvu mu bibinja eby’Abaleevi eby’ennyumba za bajjajjammwe eza baganda bammwe abantu abaabulijjo.
6 Kill the Passover lamb, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the word of the LORD by Moses."
Mutte ennyana n’abaana b’endiga ab’Embaga ey’Okuyitako, mwetukuze, muteekereteekere baganda bammwe, nga mugoberera ebyo Mukama bye yalagira ng’ayita mu Musa.”
7 Josiah gave to the lay people, of the flock, lambs and young goats, all of them for the Passover offerings, to all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls: these were of the king's substance.
Yosiya n’agabira abantu abaabulijjo bonna abaaliwo endiga n’embuzi emitwalo esatu okuba ebiweebwayo olw’Embaga ey’Okuyitako, n’ente enkumi ssatu okuva mu byobugagga bwe.
8 And his officials gave for a freewill offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites; and Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of God's house, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small livestock, and three hundred head of cattle.
Abakungu be nabo, ku bwabwe ne bagabira abantu ne bakabona n’abaleevi ebintu. Kirukiya, ne Zekkaliya ne Yekyeri abaddukanyanga emirimu gya yeekaalu ya Mukama ne bawa bakabona abaana b’endiga n’ab’embuzi enkumi bbiri mu lukaaga, n’ente ebikumi bisatu.
9 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small livestock, and five hundred head of cattle.
Konaniya, ne Semaaya ne Nesaneri, baganda be, ne Kasabiya ne Yeyeri ne Yozabadi, abakulu b’Abaleevi, nabo ne bawa Abaleevi abaana b’endiga n’ente enkumi ttaano nga by’ebiweebwayo eby’Embaga ey’Okuyitako.
10 So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their divisions, according to the king's commandment.
Ne bateekateeka eby’okusinza, bakabona ne bayimirira mu bifo byabwe n’Abaleevi mu bibinja byabwe nga kabaka bwe yalagira.
11 They killed the Passover lamb, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hand, and the Levites flayed them.
Ne batta abaana b’endiga ab’Embaga ey’Okuyitako, bakabona ne bamansira omusaayi gwe baggyanga mu bisolo, Abaleevi bye baabaaganga.
12 They removed the burnt offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the lay people, to offer to the LORD, as it is written in the scroll of Moses. So they did with the cattle.
Ne baawuula ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa balyoke babigabire abantu abaabulijjo mu bibinja byabwe mu nnyumba za bajjajjaabwe, babiweeyo eri Mukama, nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya Musa. Bwe batyo bwe baakola n’ente.
13 They roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance: and the holy offerings boiled they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the lay people.
Ne bookya ensolo ez’Embaga ey’Okuyitako mu muliro nga bwe kyawandiikibwa, ne bafumba ebiweebwayo ebitukuvu mu ntamu, ne mu sefuliya ne mu nsaka, n’oluvannyuma ne babigabira mangu buli muntu owabulijjo.
14 Afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests, because the priests the descendants of Aaron were busy with offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night: therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the descendants of Aaron.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo Abaleevi ne bakabona ne beeteekerateekera bo ne bakabona kubanga bakabona bazzukulu ba Alooni tebaalina bbanga olw’omulimu ogw’okuwaayo ebiweebwayo n’amasavu gwe baakola okuzibya obudde. Abaleevi kyebaava beeteekerateekera bo ne bakabona batabani ba Alooni.
15 The singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the gatekeepers were at every gate: they did not need to depart from their service; for their brothers the Levites prepared for them.
N’abayimbi bazzukulu ba Asafu baali mu bifo byabwe nga Dawudi, ne Asafu, ne Kemani ne Yedusuni, omulabi wa kabaka, bwe baalagira. N’abaggazi baali ku buli luggi, nga tebava ku kuweereza kwabwe, kubanga baganda baabwe Abaleevi baabateekerateekera.
16 So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover, and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah.
Bwe kutyo okuweereza kwonna okw’Embaga ey’Okuyitako n’okuwaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ku kyoto kya Mukama bwe kwali, Kabaka Yosiya kwe yalagira.
17 The children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
Abayisirayiri abaaliwo mu kiseera ekyo, ne bakwata Embaga ey’Okuyitako, ne bafumba n’embaga ey’Emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse, okumala ennaku musanvu.
18 There was no Passover like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did any of the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Waali tewabangawo Mbaga ya Kuyitako ng’eyo mu Isirayiri okuva mu nnaku za Samwiri nnabbi, nga eyaliwo mu kiseera kya Yosiya, ne bakabona n’Abaleevi, ne Yuda yonna ne Isirayiri abaaliwo, n’abatuuze ba Yerusaalemi.
19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this Passover kept.
Embaga ey’Okuyitako eyo yakwatibwa mu mwaka gwa kkumi na munaana ogw’okufuga kwa Yosiya.
20 After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Perath: and Josiah went out against him.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo byonna, Yosiya ng’amaze okuteekateeka yeekaalu, Neeko kabaka w’e Misiri n’atabaala Kalukemisi ku mugga Fulaati, ne Yosiya n’agenda amutabaale.
21 But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, "What have I to do with you, you king of Judah? I come not against you this day, but against the house with which I have war. God has commanded me to make haste. Beware that it is God who is with me, that he not destroy you."
Naye Neeko n’amutumira ababaka ng’amugamba nti, “Onvunaana ki gwe kabaka wa Yuda? Sitabaala gwe leero, wabula Kalukemisi ggwe nnwana naye, kubanga Katonda andagidde okwanguwa. Noolwekyo toziyiza Katonda, kubanga ali wamu nange. Bw’otoobeerwe anaakuzikiriza.”
22 Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
Naye Yosiya n’atamuwuliriza, ne yeebulizabuliza mu ggye n’agenda okumutabaala. N’atawuliriza bigambo bya Neeko ebyava eri Katonda, naye n’agenda okumulwanyisa mu lusenyi lwa Megiddo.
23 The archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, "Take me away, because I am seriously wounded."
Abalasi ne balasa kabaka Yosiya n’agamba abaserikale be nti, “Munziggyeewo kubanga nfumitiddwa nnyo.”
24 So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
Awo ne bamuggya mu ggaali lye ne bamuteeka mu ggaali eddala lye yalina, ne bamuleeta e Yerusaalemi, era eyo gye yafiira. N’aziikibwa mu masiro ga bajjajjaabe. Yuda yonna ne Yerusaalemi ne bamukungubagira.
25 Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel: and look, they are written in the lamentations.
Yeremiya n’ayiiya ennyimba ez’okukungubagira Yosiya, era ne leero abayimbi bonna abasajja n’abakazi bayimba nga bamujjukira mu nnyimba ez’okukungubaga. Ennyimba ezo zaafuuka kijjukizo mu Isirayiri era zawandiikibwa mu kungubaga.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of the LORD,
Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyaliwo mu mirembe gya Yosiya, n’ebikolwa bye ebirungi, nga bwe byawandiikibwa mu tteeka lya Mukama,
27 and his acts, first and last, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
ne byonna okuva ku ntandikwa ye okutuuka ku nkomerero ye, byawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri ne Yuda.
