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.
Kemudian Yosia merayakan Paskah di Yerusalem untuk menghormati TUHAN. Domba untuk perayaan itu disembelih pada tanggal 14 bulan satu.
2 Josiah assigned to the priests the tasks that they should perform at the temple and encouraged them to do their work well.
Yosia membagikan kepada para imam tugas-tugas yang harus mereka kerjakan di Rumah TUHAN, dan ia menganjurkan supaya mereka mengerjakannya dengan baik.
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.
Orang-orang Lewi yang telah dikhususkan untuk TUHAN, dan yang menjadi guru-guru Israel mendapat perintah ini dari Yosia, "Taruhlah Peti Perjanjian TUHAN yang suci itu di dalam Rumah TUHAN yang didirikan oleh Raja Salomo putra Daud. Tidak usah kalian memindah-mindahkannya lagi. Layanilah TUHAN Allahmu dan bangsa Israel umat-Nya.
4 Divide yourselves into clans, obeying the instructions that King David and his son Solomon wrote.
Bersiaplah di Rumah TUHAN menurut regu-regumu, sesuai dengan pembagian tugas yang ditetapkan kepadamu oleh Raja Daud dan Raja Salomo putranya.
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].
Aturlah regu-regumu itu sedemikian rupa sehingga selalu ada dari kalian yang dapat menolong setiap kelompok orang Israel di Rumah TUHAN.
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.”
Kalian harus memotong domba untuk perayaan Paskah. Oleh karena itu siapkanlah dirimu agar patut menyembah TUHAN, dan siapkanlah juga kurban-kurban yang harus dipersembahkan kepada TUHAN, supaya dengan demikian orang-orang Israel yang lainnya dapat menjalankan apa yang diperintahkan oleh TUHAN melalui Musa."
7 Josiah provided [from his own flocks and herds] 30,000 sheep and goats for the Passover sacrifices.
Supaya orang-orang yang hadir di perayaan Paskah itu dapat mempersembahkan kurban Paskah, Raja Yosia menyumbang dari ternaknya sendiri 30.000 ekor domba, anak domba, dan kambing muda, serta 3.000 ekor sapi jantan.
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.
Para pegawai Yosia pun memberi sumbangan untuk imam-imam, dan orang Lewi dari seluruh rakyat. Pegawai-pegawai yang diserahi tanggung jawab untuk Rumah TUHAN, yaitu Imam Agung Hilkia, dan Zakharia, serta Yehiel, ketiga-tiganya memberikan kepada para imam 2.600 ekor anak domba dan kambing muda serta 300 ekor sapi jantan untuk persembahan dalam perayaan itu.
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.
Para pemimpin orang Lewi, yaitu: Konanya, Semaya dan Netaneel saudaranya, Hasabya, Yeiel, dan Yozabad, memberikan kepada orang Lewi 5.000 ekor anak domba dan kambing muda serta 500 ekor sapi jantan untuk persembahan dalam perayaan itu.
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.
Setelah semuanya siap untuk perayaan Paskah, imam-imam dan regu-regu orang Lewi mengambil tempatnya masing-masing seperti yang diperintahkan oleh raja.
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.
Lalu mereka menyembelih binatang untuk perayaan Paskah; orang Lewi mengulitinya dan para imam memercikkan darah binatang itu ke atas mezbah.
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.
Setiap kelompok keluarga yang hadir di situ mendapat seekor dari binatang-binatang yang akan dipersembahkan sebagai kurban bakaran. Dengan demikian mereka dapat mempersembahkan kurban menurut peraturan yang tercantum dalam buku Hukum Musa.
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].
Lalu orang-orang Lewi memanggang kurban Paskah itu di atas api, sesuai dengan peraturan, dan merebus kurban-kurban khusus di dalam kuali, periuk dan belanga, kemudian dagingnya cepat-cepat dibagikan kepada orang-orang.
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].
Sesudah itu barulah orang-orang Lewi menyiapkan bagian untuk mereka sendiri dan untuk para imam keturunan Harun. Sebab, sampai malam para imam itu bekerja terus mempersembahkan binatang-binatang sebagai kurban bakaran, dan membakar lemak dari kurban-kurban itu.
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.
Para ahli musik dari kaum Asaf dalam suku Lewi berada pada tempat tugas yang sudah ditentukan oleh Raja Daud bagi mereka. Inilah nama-nama mereka: Asaf, Heman, dan Yedutun, seorang nabi yang bekerja untuk raja. Para pengawal pintu-pintu gerbang tidak perlu meninggalkan pos mereka, karena mereka dapat merayakan Paskah di tempat tugas mereka dengan bantuan orang-orang Lewi lainnya.
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.
Pada hari itu mereka melakukan segala sesuatu yang diperintahkan oleh Raja Yosia untuk perayaan Paskah, termasuk persembahan-persembahan pada mezbah.
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.
Tujuh hari lamanya seluruh rakyat Israel yang hadir di situ merayakan Paskah dan Pesta Roti Tidak Beragi.
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.
Paskah seperti itu belum pernah dirayakan lagi sejak masa Nabi Samuel. Tidak seorang pun dari raja-raja sebelumnya pernah merayakan Paskah seperti yang dirayakan
19 They celebrated this Passover Festival when Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years.
dalam tahun kedelapan belas pemerintahan Yosia itu, oleh raja itu sendiri bersama imam-imam, orang Lewi, orang Yehuda dan Israel, serta penduduk Yerusalem.
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.
Setelah Raja Yosia melakukan semuanya itu untuk Rumah TUHAN; Nekho raja Mesir memimpin pasukannya untuk berperang di Karkemis dekat Sungai Efrat. Yosia berusaha mencegah dia,
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.”
tetapi Nekho mengirim berita ini kepada Yosia, "Perang ini bukan menyangkut engkau, raja Yehuda! Aku datang bukan untuk melawan engkau, melainkan untuk melawan musuh-musuhku, dan Allah menyuruh aku bertindak cepat. Allah ada di pihakku, karena itu janganlah menghalangi Dia, nanti engkau dihancurkan-Nya."
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.
Tetapi Yosia berkeras untuk melawan, dan tidak mau menuruti apa yang dikatakan Allah melalui Raja Nekho. Yosia menyamar lalu memasuki pertempuran di dataran rendah Megido.
23 Some Egyptian archers shot King Josiah. He told his officers, “Take me away from here because I am badly wounded.”
Dalam pertempuran itu Raja Yosia terkena panah. Lalu ia memerintahkan hamba-hambanya supaya membawa dia keluar dari pertempuran karena ia luka berat.
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.
Mereka mengangkat dia dari keretanya dan memindahkannya ke kereta lain yang ada di situ, kemudian membawanya ke Yerusalem. Di sana ia meninggal dan dikuburkan di makam raja-raja. Seluruh rakyat Yehuda dan Yerusalem berkabung atas kematiannya.
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.
Nabi Yeremia menggubah sebuah nyanyian ratapan untuk Raja Yosia. Sampai sekarang nyanyian itu dipakai di Israel oleh para penyanyi, baik pria maupun wanita, dalam peringatan perkabungan untuk Yosia. Nyanyian itu telah dimasukkan ke dalam kumpulan nyanyian-nyanyian ratapan.
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’.
Kisah lain mengenai Yosia, mengenai cintanya kepada TUHAN, dan ketaatannya kepada hukum-hukum TUHAN,
singkatnya, mengenai seluruh riwayat hidupnya dari mula sampai akhir, sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel dan Yehuda.
