2 Chronicles 35
1 Josiah [commanded that the people should] celebrate the Passover Festival to honor Yahweh in Jerusalem. So they slaughtered the lambs for the Passover [Festival] at the end of March.
Josiah mah Jerusalem ah Angraeng khaeah misong loihaih poih to sak; loihhaih poih ah tuucaa to khrah tangsuek haih, ni hatlai palito naah a boh.
2 Josiah assigned to the priests the tasks that they should perform at the temple and encouraged them to do their work well.
Qaimanawk to angmacae toksakhaih ahmuen ah ohsak moe, Angraeng im ah toksak hanah nihcae to thapaek.
3 The [other] descendants of Levi were the ones who taught all the Israeli people; they had been dedicated to serve Yahweh. Josiah said to them, “Put the Sacred Chest in the temple that [the workers of] David’s son [King] Solomon of Israel built. But [carry it on poles; ] do not carry it on your shoulders. And do your your work well for Yahweh your God and for his Israeli people.
Angraeng khaeah ciimcai moe, Israel caanawk boih patukkung, Levi acaengnawk khaeah, kaciim thingkhong to Israel siangpahrang David capa Solomon mah sak ih im thungah suem oh; kaciim thingkhong to palaeng hoi apu o hmah; angmah ih kami Israelnawk hoi na Angraeng Sithaw ih tok to sah oh.
4 Divide yourselves into clans, obeying the instructions that King David and his son Solomon wrote.
Israel siangpahrang David hoi a capa Solomon mah nangmacae acaeng acaeng ah toksak hanah ca ang tarik pae o ih baktih toengah toksak amsak oh.
5 Then stand in the temple, with one group of the descendants of Levi to help each clan of the people [when they bring their offerings to the temple].
Prae thung ih kaminawk, nam panawk ih nawkamya hoi Levi acaeng maeto boih mah sak han koi tok to pazet oh loe, hmuenciim ah angdoe oh.
6 Slaughter the lambs for the Passover [Festival]. Perform the rituals to cause yourselves to be acceptable to Yahweh for doing this work. Prepare the sacrifices, doing what Yahweh told Moses to tell you that you should do.”
Loihhaih tuucaanawk to bop oh, nangmacae hoi nangmacae to ciimcai oh, Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah paek ih lok baktih toengah, nam nawkamyanawk mah poih sak o hanah thui pae oh, tiah a naa.
7 Josiah provided [from his own flocks and herds] 30,000 sheep and goats for the Passover sacrifices.
Loihhaih poihkung ah angzo kaminawk boih to pacah hanah, Josiah siangpahrang mah angmah ih tuucaa hoi maeh sing thumto paek, maitaw tae sang thumto doeh paek bae vop.
8 His officials also voluntarily contributed animals for the people and the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the officials who were in charge of the temple, gave to the priests 2,600 lambs and 300 cattle to be sacrifices for the Passover.
Angmah ih angraengnawk, qaimanawk hoi Levi acaengnawk mah doeh palunghuemhaih hoiah paek o toeng; Hilkiah, Zekariah, Jehiel hoi Sithaw im ukkungnawk mah, loihhaih poih sak hanah qaimanawk khaeah, tuu hoi maeh sang hnet, cumvai tarukto, maitaw tae cumvai thumto paek o.
9 And Conaniah along with his [younger] brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the leaders of the [other] descendants of Levi, provided 5,000 lambs and 500 cattle for the other descendants of Levi, to be sacrifices for the Passover.
Levi acaengnawk thungah kalen koek, Konaniah, Shemaiah, Nethanel, Hashabiah, Jeiel, Jozabad hoi nawkamyanawk mah doeh, loihhaih poih sak hanah tuucaa hoi maeh sang pangato, maitaw tae cumvai pangato paek o toeng.
10 Everything [for the Passover] was arranged: The priests and the other descendants of Levi stood in their places in their groups, like the king had commanded.
Siangpahrang lokpaekhaih baktih toengah, qaimanawk loe toksak hanah angmacae angdoethaih ahmuen ah angdoet o, Levi acaengnawk doeh angmacae ih tok to sak o.
11 Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs. The priests sprinkled the blood [from the bowls] that were handed to them, while the [other] descendants of Levi removed the skins from the animals.
Loihhaih poih sak hanah tuucaanawk to boh o; qaimanawk mah athii to haeh o moe, Levi acaengnawk mah ahin to khok o.
12 They set aside the animals to be completely burned on the altar, in order to give them to the various family groups to offer to Yahweh, obeying the instructions that were written in the laws God gave Moses. They did the same thing with the cattle.
Mosi ih cabu thungah tarik ih lok baktih toengah, imthung takoh maeto mah Angraeng khaeah hmai angbawnhaih paek hanah, moi hoi maitaw tae to kalah ah pahoe pae o.
13 Obeying those regulations, they roasted the lambs for the Passover over the fire. And they boiled the [meat of the] sacred offerings in pots and kettles and pans, and served the meat immediately to all the people [who were there].
Sakzong ih daan baktih toengah loihhaih poihkung ah boh ih tuu moinawk to hmai pakhaem o; kalah ciimcai moinawk loe long laom, laom pui hoi camphaek laom hoiah thongh o moe, kaminawk hanah karangah pazet o.
14 After that, they prepared meat for themselves and for the priests, because the priests were busy until nighttime, sacrificing the offerings to be completely burned and burning the fat parts of the offerings. So the [other] descendants of Levi prepared meat for themselves and for the priests, who were descendants of Aaron, [the first Supreme Priest].
To tiah a sak o pacoengah angmacae hoi qaimanawk hanah thongh o; Aaron ih caa qaimanawk loe hmai angbawnhaih hoi moithawk angbawnhaih to khoving khoek to a sak o; Levi acaengnawk loe angmacae han hoi Aaron ih caa qaimanawk hanah to tiah toksak pae o.
15 The musicians, who were descendants of Asaph, stood in their places, as King David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s prophet had commanded. The men who guarded the gates [of the temple] did not need to leave their places, because their fellow descendants of Levi prepared food for them to eat.
David hoi siangpahrang ih tahmaa, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun mah sak ih baktih toengah, ampui Levi acaengnawk mah hmuen to sak pae o boeh pongah, Asaph ih acaeng laasah kaminawk loe angmacae ih ahmuen ah oh o; khongkha toep kaminawk loe angmacae ih tok to caeh o taak ai, khongkha to toep o boih; angmacae ih nawkamya Levi acaengnawk mah nihcae han kangaih tok to sak pae o.
16 So on that day everything that needed to done for worshiping Yahweh was done. They celebrated the Passover [Festival], and they presented offerings to be completely burned on the altar, which was what Josiah had commanded.
To pongah Josiah siangpahrang mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, loihhaih poih to a sak o, Angraeng ih hmaicam nuiah hmai angbawnhaih sak hanah, to na niah Angraeng ih tok to sak o roep.
17 The Israelis who were there celebrated the Passover [Festival] on that day, and for seven days they celebrated the Festival of [Eating] Unleavened Bread.
To ah kaom Israel caanawk loe loihhaih poih to sak o moe, taeh thuh ai ih takaw caakhaih poih doeh ni sarihto thung a sak o.
18 The Passover [Festival] had not been celebrated like that in Israel since the time that the prophet Samuel lived. None of the other kings of Israel had ever celebrated the Passover like Josiah did, along with the priests, the other descendants of Levi, and all [the other people of] Judah and Israel who were there with the people who lived in Jerusalem.
Tahmaa Samuel dung ah Israel prae thungah to baktih loihhaih poih to sah o vai ai; mi kawbaktih Israel siangpahrang mah doeh Josiah baktiah, loihhaih poih to qaimanawk, Levi acaengnawk, Judah kaminawk, Israel kaminawk, Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk hoi nawnto sah vai ai.
19 They celebrated this Passover Festival when Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years.
Hae loihhaih poih loe Josiah siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning hatlai tazetto naah sak o.
20 After Josiah had done all those things to [restore the worship at] the temple, King Neco of Egypt went [with his army] to attack Carchemish [city] alongside the Euphrates [River], and Josiah marched [with his army] to fight against them.
Josiah mah im to sak pacoengah, Izip siangpahrang Neko loe Euphrates vapui taeng ih Karkhemish vangpui to tuk hanah angzoh, Josiah siangpahrang loe Neko to pakaa hanah caeh.
21 Neco sent some messengers to Josiah, to tell him, “You are the king of Judah, and there is certainly no quarrel between you and me. My army is not attacking you people; we are attacking another army, [the army of Babylonia]. God has told me to hurry. So stop opposing God, who is for me. If you do not stop, God will get rid of you.”
Izip siangpahrang mah, Aw Judah siangpahrang, nang hoi kai salakah tih angzoeh angaekhaih maw oh? Vaihniah nang tuk hanah kang zo ai, ka misa imthung takoh ni tuk hanah kang zoh; Angraeng mah karangah misatuk hanah ang thuih boeh: kai hoi nawnto kaom Angraeng to tavet hmah, anih mah dan na paek moeng tih, tiah laicaeh patoeh moe, a thuisak.
22 But Josiah would not pay attention to him. Instead, he disguised himself in order to be able to attack [the army of Egypt without anyone recognizing him]. He did not pay any attention to what God had told Neco to say. Instead, he [and his army] went to fight Neco’s army at the plain of Megiddo.
Toe Josiah mah angqoi taak ai; Neko mah thuih ih Angraeng ih lok to tahngai ai; misatuk hanah minawk kalah baktiah angsak moe, Meggido azawn ah misatuk hanah a caeh.
23 Some Egyptian archers shot King Josiah. He told his officers, “Take me away from here because I am badly wounded.”
Misa angtuk o naah kalii kah kop kaminawk mah Josiah siangpahrang to kah o; to naah anih mah a tamnanawk khaeah, Karangah na caeh o haih lai ah; kai loe kanung parai ahmaa ka caak boeh, tiah a naa.
24 So they took him out of his chariot and put him in another chariot that he had brought with him, and they took him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs where his ancestors [had been buried], and all [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah mourned for him.
To pongah a tamnanawk mah hrangleeng thung hoiah lak o moe, hrangleeng kalah maeto nuiah phawh o; anih to Jerusalem ah caeh o haih moe, to ah duek; ampanawk ih taprong maeto ahmuen ah anih to aphum o. Judah hoi Israel kaminawk boih mah anih to qah o haih.
25 [The prophet] Jeremiah composed a song to mourn for Josiah, and all the men and women singers in Israel still mourn for Josiah by singing that song. That became a custom in Israel; the words of that song are written in a scroll of funeral songs.
Jeremiah mah Josiah to qah haih; vaihni ni khoek to laasah nongpata hoi nongpanawk mah Josiah qahhaih laa to sak o pongah, Israel prae thungah Israel caanawk ih atawk maeto ah oh; to kawng to qahhaih cabu thungah tarik o.
26 A record of the other things that happened while Josiah ruled, from the time he started to rule until he died, including how he faithfully honored God by obeying everything that was written in the laws of Yahweh, is in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel and Judah’.
Josiah siangpahrang ah oh nathung sak ih hmuennawk, a sak ih kahoih hmuennawk loe Angraeng ih lok cabu thungah tarik ih baktih toengah,
a toksakhaih amtonghaih hoi boeng khoek to, Israel hoi Judah siangpahrangnawk ih cabu thungah tarik o.
