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.
Joziasi asepelaki feti ya Pasika mpo na lokumu ya Yawe kati na Yelusalemi; mpe na mokolo ya zomi na minei ya sanza ya liboso, bakataki kingo ya mpate mpo na mbeka ya Pasika.
2 Josiah assigned to the priests the tasks that they should perform at the temple and encouraged them to do their work well.
Atiaki Banganga-Nzambe mpo ete bakoba mosala na bango mpe alendisaki bango na mosala ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
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.
Alobaki na Balevi oyo babulisamaki mpo na Yawe mpe bazalaki na mokumba ya koteya Isalaele mobimba: — Botia Sanduku ya bule kati na Tempelo oyo Salomo, mwana mobali ya Davidi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, atongaki; ezali lisusu ya komema na mapeka na bino te. Sik’oyo, bosalela Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpe Isalaele, bato na Ye.
4 Divide yourselves into clans, obeying the instructions that King David and his son Solomon wrote.
Bomibongisa kolanda mabota mpe masanga na bino ya mosala, kolanda mitindo oyo Davidi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, mpe Salomo, mwana na ye ya mobali, bakomaki.
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].
Bowumela na bisika na bino ya mosala kati na Esika ya bule: lisanga moko ya Balevi mpo na libota moko na moko ya bandeko na bino, bato ya ekolo na bino.
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.”
Bokata kingo ya mpate mpo na mbeka ya Pasika, bomibulisa mpe bobongisa mpate yango ya Pasika mpo na bandeko na bino oyo bozali na bango ekolo moko, kolanda mitindo ya Yawe na nzela ya Moyize.
7 Josiah provided [from his own flocks and herds] 30,000 sheep and goats for the Passover sacrifices.
Joziasi azwaki kati na bibwele na ye moko mokonzi bana meme mpe bana ntaba nkoto tuku misato mpe bangombe nkoto misato, mpo na bato ya Isalaele, nkoto tuku misato oyo bazalaki wana mpo ete bakoka kobonza yango lokola mbeka ya Pasika.
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.
Bakalaka na ye mpe bapesaki wuta na mokano ya mitema na bango, epai ya bato, epai ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe epai ya Balevi. Ilikia, Zakari mpe Yeyeli, oyo bazalaki bakambi ya misala kati na Tempelo ya Nzambe, bapesaki epai ya Banganga-Nzambe lokola mbeka ya Pasika bana meme nkoto mibale na nkama motoba mpe bangombe nkama misato.
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 elongo na bandeko na ye ya mibali: Shemaya, Netaneeli, Ashabia, Yeyeli mpe Yozabadi oyo bakambi ya Balevi, bapesaki bameme nkoto mitano mpe bangombe nkama mitano epai ya Balevi lokola mbeka ya Pasika.
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.
Tala ndenge babongisaki losambo: Banganga-Nzambe batelemaki na esika na bango ya mosala, mpe Balevi bazalaki kati na masanga na bango, kolanda mitindo ya mokonzi.
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.
Bato babonzaki bana meme mpe bana ntaba lokola mbeka ya Pasika, mpe Balevi bazalaki kopesa makila na yango epai ya Banganga-Nzambe mpo ete basopa yango na likolo ya etumbelo, wana Balevi bazalaki kopapa mbeka
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.
mpe kotia pembeni biteni ya kobonza lokola mbeka ya kotumba, mpo na kopesa yango epai ya bato kolanda masanga na bango mpo ete babonza yango epai na Yawe, kolanda ndenge ekomama kati na buku ya Moyize. Basalaki mpe ndenge wana mpo na bangombe.
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].
Kolanda ndenge mobeko ezalaki kotinda, batumbaki na moto meme oyo ebonzamaki lokola mbeka ya Pasika mpe balambaki makabo mosusu ya bule na nzungu, na kikalungu mpe na basani; mpe bapesaki yango na lombangu epai ya bato nyonso.
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].
Sima na yango, Balevi babongisaki mbeka ya Pasika mpo na bango moko mpe mpo na Banganga-Nzambe; pamba te Banganga-Nzambe, bana mibali ya Aron, bazalaki kosala kino na butu mosala ya kobonza bambeka ya kotumba mpe mafuta ya banyama. Yango wana Balevi bazalaki kobongisa mbeka ya Pasika mpo na bango moko mpe mpo na Banganga-Nzambe, bana mibali ya Aron.
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.
Babeti mindule, bana mibali ya Azafi, bazalaki na esika na bango ya mosala kolanda mitindo ya Davidi, ya Azafi, ya Emani mpe ya Yedutuni, mosakoli ya mokonzi. Bakengeli bikuke mpe bazalaki na bisika na bango ya mosala; batikalaki kozala mosika na yango te, pamba te bandeko na bango, Balevi, bazalaki mpe kobongisela bango biloko.
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.
Ezalaki ndenge wana nde misala nyonso ebongisamaki mokolo wana mpo na kosepela feti ya Pasika mpe kobonza mbeka ya kotumba na likolo ya etumbelo ya Yawe, kolanda mitindo ya mokonzi Joziasi.
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.
Bana ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki wana basepelaki na tango wana feti ya Pasika mpe feti ya Mapa ezanga levire, mikolo sambo.
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.
Wuta na tango ya mosakoli Samuele, feti ya Pasika ya lolenge wana etikalaki nanu kosalema te kati na Isalaele. Mpe kati na bakonzi ya Isalaele, moko te asepelaki feti ya Pasika lokola Pasika oyo Joziasi asepelaki elongo na Banganga-Nzambe, Balevi, bato nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kuna elongo na bavandi ya Yelusalemi.
19 They celebrated this Passover Festival when Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years.
Ezalaki na mobu ya zomi na mwambe ya bokonzi ya Joziasi nde basepelaki Pasika yango.
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.
Sima na makambo oyo nyonso mpe sima na Joziasi kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe, Neko, mokonzi ya Ejipito, akendeki kobundisa Karikemishi, na ebale Efrate; mpe Joziasi akendeki kokutana na ye mpo na kokanga ye nzela.
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.”
Neko atindelaki ye bamemi sango mpo na koloba na ye: — Mokonzi ya Yuda, likambo nini kati ya yo mpe ngai? Na mokolo ya lelo, nayei na ngai te mpo na kobundisa yo; nayei nde kobundisa mokonzi mosusu. Nzambe alobi na ngai ete nasala likambo yango na lombangu. Keba ete otombokela Nzambe oyo azali elongo na ngai, soki te akobebisa yo.
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.
Kasi Joziasi aboyaki kotika ye, mpe lokola ayokaki te makambo oyo Neko ayebisaki ye kowuta na monoko ya Nzambe, Joziasi amibongolaki mpo na kobundisa Neko na lubwaku ya Megido.
23 Some Egyptian archers shot King Josiah. He told his officers, “Take me away from here because I am badly wounded.”
Kati na bitumba, basoda oyo babundaka na batolotolo babetaki mokonzi Joziasi, mpe ye alobaki na basoda na ye: — Bolongola ngai awa, pamba te nazoki makasi.
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.
Basoda na ye balongolaki ye na shar oyo azalaki kobunda na yango, batiaki ye na shar na ye mosusu mpe bamemaki ye na Yelusalemi epai wapi akufaki. Bakundaki ye kati na bakunda ya batata na ye. Bato nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi basalelaki Joziasi matanga.
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.
Jeremi asalaki nzembo ya mawa mpo na Joziasi. Bayembi nyonso ya mibali mpe ya basi bayembelaki Joziasi banzembo ya mawa kino na mokolo ya lelo mpe bakomisaki likambo yango mobeko kati na Isalaele. Banzembo yango ekomama kati na buku ya banzembo ya mawa.
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’.
Makambo mpe misala mosusu ya Joziasi, elongo na misala ya botosi na ye kati na makambo ya Yawe, kolanda oyo ekomama kati na Mobeko ya Yawe,
misala na ye, kobanda na ebandeli kino na suka, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda.
