< 2 Chronicles 35 >
1 And he observed Josiah in Jerusalem a passover to Yahweh and people slaughtered the passover on [day] four-teen of the month first.
約西亞在耶路撒冷向耶和華守逾越節。正月十四日,就宰了逾越節的羊羔。
2 And he appointed the priests on duties their and he encouraged them for [the] service of [the] house of Yahweh.
王分派祭司各盡其職,又勉勵他們辦耶和華殿中的事;
3 And he said to the Levites (those teaching *Q(K)*) all Israel holy to Yahweh put [the] ark of holiness in the house which he built Solomon [the] son of David [the] king of Israel not [will belong] to you a burden on the shoulder now serve Yahweh God your and people his Israel.
又對那歸耶和華為聖、教訓以色列人的利未人說:「你們將聖約櫃安放在以色列王大衛兒子所羅門建造的殿裏,不必再用肩扛抬。現在要事奉耶和華-你們的上帝,服事他的民以色列。
4 (And prepare *Q(K)*) to [the] house of ancestors your according to divisions your by [the] writing of David [the] king of Israel and by [the] writing of Solomon son his.
你們應當按着宗族,照着班次,遵以色列王大衛和他兒子所羅門所寫的,自己預備。
5 And stand in the holy place to [the] divisions of [the] house of the ancestors of countrymen your [the] sons of the people and a division of [the] house of an ancestor for the Levites.
要按着你們的弟兄,這民宗族的班次,站在聖所,每班中要利未宗族的幾個人。
6 And slaughter the passover and consecrate yourselves and prepare for countrymen your to do according to [the] word of Yahweh by [the] hand of Moses.
要宰逾越節的羊羔,潔淨自己,為你們的弟兄預備了,好遵守耶和華藉摩西所吩咐的話。」
7 And he contributed Josiah for [the] sons of the people flock[s] of lambs and [the] young of goats everything for the passovers for every [one who] was found to [the] number of thirty thousand and cattle three thousand these [were] from [the] property of the king.
約西亞從群畜中賜給在那裏所有的人民,綿羊羔和山羊羔三萬隻,牛三千隻,作逾越節的祭物;這都是出自王的產業中。
8 And officials his to a freewill offering for the people for the priests and for the Levites they contributed Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel [the] officers of [the] house of God to the priests they gave for the passovers two thousand and six hundred and cattle three hundred.
約西亞的眾首領也樂意將犧牲給百姓和祭司利未人;又有管理上帝殿的希勒家、撒迦利亞、耶歇將羊羔二千六百隻,牛三百隻,給祭司作逾越節的祭物。
9 (And Konaniah *Q(k)*) and Shemaiah and Nethanel brothers his and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad [the] leaders of the Levites they contributed for the Levites for the passovers five thousand and cattle five hundred.
利未人的族長歌楠雅和他兩個兄弟示瑪雅、拿坦業,與哈沙比雅、耶利、約撒拔將羊羔五千隻,牛五百隻,給利未人作逾越節的祭物。
10 And it was arranged the service and they took their stand the priests at place their and the Levites on divisions their according to [the] command of the king.
這樣,供獻的事齊備了。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 slaughtered the passover and they sprinkled the priests from hand their and the Levites [were] skinning [them].
利未人宰了逾越節的羊羔,祭司從他們手裏接過血來灑在壇上;利未人剝皮,
12 And they put aside the burnt offering[s] to give them to [the] divisions of [the] house of ancestors of [the] sons of the people to bring near to Yahweh according to [what] is written in [the] scroll of Moses and thus for the cattle.
將燔祭搬來,按着宗族的班次分給眾民,好照摩西書上所寫的,獻給耶和華;獻牛也是這樣。
13 And they cooked the passover in the fire according to the ordinance and the holy offerings they boiled in pots and in kettles and in pans and they brought [them] quickly to all [the] children of the people.
他們按着常例,用火烤逾越節的羊羔。別的聖物用鍋,用釜,用罐煮了,速速地送給眾民。
14 And after they prepared for themselves and for the priests for the priests [the] descendants of Aaron [were] in offering up the burnt offering[s] and the fat until night and the Levites they prepared for themselves and for the priests [the] descendants of Aaron.
然後為自己和祭司預備祭物;因為祭司亞倫的子孫獻燔祭和脂油,直到晚上。所以利未人為自己和祭司亞倫的子孫,預備祭物。
15 And the singers [the] descendants of Asaph [were] at post their according to [the] command of David and Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun [the] seer of the king and the gatekeepers [were] to a gate and a gate not [belonged] to them to turn aside from on service their for relatives their the Levites they prepared for them.
歌唱的亞薩之子孫,照着大衛、亞薩、希幔,和王的先見耶杜頓所吩咐的,站在自己的地位上。守門的看守各門,不用離開他們的職事,因為他們的弟兄利未人給他們預備祭物。
16 And it was arranged all [the] service of Yahweh on the day that to observe the passover and to offer up burnt offerings on [the] altar of Yahweh according to [the] command of the king Josiah.
當日,供奉耶和華的事齊備了,就照約西亞王的吩咐守逾越節,獻燔祭在耶和華的壇上。
17 And they observed [the] people of Israel who were found the passover at the time that and [the] festival of the unleavened bread seven days.
當時在耶路撒冷的以色列人守逾越節,又守除酵節七日。
18 And not it had been observed a passover like it in Israel since [the] days of Samuel the prophet and any kings of Israel - not they had observed like the passover which he observed Josiah and the priests and the Levites and all Judah and Israel which was found and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem.
自從先知撒母耳以來,在以色列中沒有守過這樣的逾越節,以色列諸王也沒有守過,像約西亞、祭司、利未人、在那裏的猶大人,和以色列人,以及耶路撒冷居民所守的逾越節。
19 In eight-teen year of [the] reign of Josiah it was observed the passover this.
這逾越節是約西亞作王十八年守的。
20 After all this when he had prepared Josiah the house he came up Necho [the] king of Egypt to do battle at Carchemish on [the] Euphrates and he went out to meet him Josiah.
這事以後,約西亞修完了殿,有埃及王尼哥上來,要攻擊靠近幼發拉底河的迦基米施;約西亞出去抵擋他。
21 And he sent to him messengers - saying - what? [is] to me and to you O king of Judah not on you you this day for against [the] house of battle my and God he has said to hurry I cease yourself from God who [is] with me and may not he destroy you.
他差遣使者來見約西亞,說:「猶大王啊,我與你何干?我今日來不是要攻擊你,乃是要攻擊與我爭戰之家,並且上帝吩咐我速行,你不要干預上帝的事,免得他毀滅你,因為上帝是與我同在。」
22 And not he turned round Josiah face his away from him for to fight against him he disguised himself and not he listened to [the] words of Necho from [the] mouth of God and he went to do battle in [the] valley of Megiddo.
約西亞卻不肯轉去離開他,改裝要與他打仗,不聽從上帝藉尼哥之口所說的話,便來到米吉多平原爭戰。
23 And they shot arrows the archers to the king Josiah and he said the king to servants his take away me for I have been wounded exceedingly.
弓箭手射中約西亞王。王對他的臣僕說:「我受了重傷,你拉我出陣吧!」
24 And they took away him servants his from the chariot and they made ride him on [the] chariot of second which [belonged] to him and they brought him Jerusalem and he died and he was buried in [the] graves of ancestors his and all Judah and Jerusalem [were] mourning on Josiah.
他的臣僕扶他下了戰車,上了次車,送他到耶路撒冷,他就死了,葬在他列祖的墳墓裏。猶大人和耶路撒冷人都為他悲哀。
25 And he made a lament Jeremiah on Josiah and they have said all the male singers - and the female singers in lamentations their on Josiah until this day and they made them into a decree on Israel and there they [are] written on the lamentations.
耶利米為約西亞作哀歌。所有歌唱的男女也唱哀歌,追悼約西亞,直到今日;而且在以色列中成了定例。這歌載在哀歌書上。
26 And [the] rest of [the] matters of Josiah and covenant loyalti his according to [what] is written in [the] law of Yahweh.
約西亞其餘的事和他遵着耶和華律法上所記而行的善事,
27 And matters his former and latter there they [are] written on [the] scroll of [the] kings of Israel and Judah.
並他自始至終所行的,都寫在以色列和猶大列王記上。
