< 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.
Josia notimo Sap Pasaka ni Jehova Nyasaye e Jerusalem kendo ne oneg nyarombo mar Pasaka chiengʼ mar apar gangʼwen mar dwe mokwongo.
2 Josiah assigned to the priests the tasks that they should perform at the temple and encouraged them to do their work well.
Noketo jodolo e tijegi kendo nojiwogi kuom tich hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
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.
Nowachone jo-Lawi mane osepwodhi ni Jehova Nyasaye mondo opuonj jo-Israel duto niya, “Keturu Sanduku Maler e hekalu mane Solomon wuod Daudi ruodh Israel nogero. Ok onego utingʼe e goku. Omiyo tineuru Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kendo ni joge Israel.
4 Divide yourselves into clans, obeying the instructions that King David and his son Solomon wrote.
Chanreuru e migepe kaluwore gi anywolau kaka chik mane Daudi ruodh jo-Israel kod Solomon wuode ondiko.
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].
“Chunguru Kama Ler gi jo-Lawi moko e kind migepe matindo mag anywola mar joweteu mamoko.
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.”
Yangʼuru nyiromb Pasaka kendo pwodhreuru mondo ukony joweteu timo gima Jehova Nyasaye nochiko gi dho Musa mondo utim.”
7 Josiah provided [from his own flocks and herds] 30,000 sheep and goats for the Passover sacrifices.
Eka Josia nochiwo ni joma nochokore nyirombe gi diek moromo alufu piero adek kod rwedhi alufu adek mondo otimgo misango mar Pasaka. Magi duto nochiwo kogolo kuom mwandune owuon.
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.
Jodonge bende nokelo chiwo kuom herogi ni ji gi jodolo kod jo-Lawi. Hilkia gi Zekaria kod Jehiel ma jotelo madongo mag hekalu mar Nyasaye nochiwo ni jodolo nyirombe kod diek alufu ariyo gi mia auchiel kod dhok mia adek mondo otimgo misango mar Pasaka.
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.
Konania bende, kaachiel gi Shemaya kod Nethanel ma owetene kod Hashabia gi Jeyel kod Jozabad mane jatend jo-Lawi nomiyo jo-Lawi nyirombe kod diek alufu abich kod dhok mia abich mondo otimgo misango mar Pasaka.
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.
Kane gige tich duto oseikore, jodolo nochungʼ keregi kendo jo-Lawi nobedo e migepegi kaka ne ruoth osechiko.
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.
Nyirombe mag Pasaka nochinji kendo jo-Lawi nomiyo jodolo remo kapod giyangʼo chiayogo mi jodolo nokiro remogo.
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.
Negiwalo mago mane mag misengini miwangʼo pep ma gimiyo migepe matindo tindo mag ariyo mar anywola mar ji mondo gichiwgi ni Jehova Nyasaye kaka ondiki e kitap Musa. Kamano bende e kaka negitimo kod dhok.
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].
Ne gibulo jamni mag Pasaka ewi mach kaka chik owacho to ring misengini maler ne gitedo e agulni gi pipni kod sufuriache kendo negipogo ji mapiyo piyo.
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].
Bangʼ mano negiloso mag-gi giwegi kod misango mag jodolo nikech jodolo mane gin Nyikwa Harun ne timo misengini miwangʼo pep kod misango mag boche nyaka otieno, omiyo jo-Lawi noloso mag-gi giwegi kod mag jodolo ma nyikwa Harun.
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.
Jower ma nyikwa Asaf ne nitiere keregi kaluwore gi chik mar Daudi gi mar Asaf gi mar Heman kod mar Jeduthun janen mar ruoth. Jorit dhorangeye ne ok owuok kuondegi mag rito nikech owetegi ma jo-Lawi nosetedonigi.
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.
Kamano tije Jehova Nyasaye duto mar Sap Pasaka kod mar timo misengini miwangʼo pep e kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye notim chiengʼono, kaka ruoth Josia nochiko.
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.
Jo-Israel duto mane nitiere nochamo Pasaka e ndalono kendo negitimo Sap Makati ma ok oketie Thowi kuom ndalo abiriyo.
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.
Pasaka machal kamano ne pok otim e Israel chakre ndalo mag Samuel janabi; kendo onge ruodh Israel moro amora ma nosetimo Pasaka machal gi mane Josia kaachiel gi jodolo, jo-Lawi kod jo-Juda duto gi jo-Israel mane oriwore gi jo-Jerusalem otimo.
19 They celebrated this Passover Festival when Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years.
Pasakani notim e higa mar apar gaboro mar loch Josia.
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.
Bangʼ kane Josia osetieko loso hekalu, Neko ruodh Misri nodhi mondo oked e dala mar Karkemish man but Yufrate mi Josia nodhi mondo orad kode e lweny.
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.”
To Neko noorone joote mondo owachne niya, “En angʼo ma walaro kodi yaye ruodh Juda? In ok ema abiro amonji e kindeni, to amonjo dhoot ma wakedogo. Nyasaye osenyisa mondo atim piyo omiyo kik ipiem gi Nyasaye ma jakora ka ok kamano to obiro tieki.”
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.
Kata kamano, Josia ne ok oweye, omiyo nodhi korwakore magalagala mondo oked kode. Ne ok odewo gima Neko nonyise kaluwore gi gima Nyasaye ochiko to nodhi mokedo kode e paw Megido.
23 Some Egyptian archers shot King Josiah. He told his officers, “Take me away from here because I am badly wounded.”
Jodir asere nochielo ruoth Josia mi nowacho ni jotichne niya, “Golauru ka nimar asehinyora marach.”
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.
Omiyo ne gigole e gache ma gikete e gari machielo mane en-go ma gikele Jerusalem kama nothoe. Noyike e liete mag kwerene kendo jo-Juda kod jo-Jerusalem duto noywage.
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.
Jeremia nochwogo wend ywak ni Josia kendo jower duto machwo gi mamon pod wero wendno ka giparogo Josia nyaka chil kawuono. Gino oselokore tim jo-Israel kendo wendno ondik e kitap Ywagruok.
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’.
Weche mag ndalo mamoko mag loch Josia kod tichne maber manotimo koluwore gi gima ondiki e Chik mar Jehova Nyasaye,
gigo manotimo duto aa chakruokgi nyaka gikogi ondik e kitap ruodhi mag Israel kod Juda.
