< 2 Chronicles 35 >

1 Josiah kept a Passover to Yahweh in Jerusalem, and they killed the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Josaya mere Mmemme Ngabiga Onyenwe anyị na Jerusalem nʼụbọchị iri na anọ nke ọnwa mbụ nʼafọ. Ha gburu atụrụ Mmemme Ngabiga nʼụbọchị ahụ
2 He placed the priests in their positions and encouraged them in the service of the house of Yahweh.
O debekwara ndị nchụaja nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, gbaa ha ume ka ha bidokwa ịrụ ọrụ ha.
3 He said to the Levites who taught all Israel and who were set apart to Yahweh, “Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon son of David, king of Israel built. Do not carry it around on your shoulders any longer. Now worship Yahweh your God, and serve his people Israel.
Ọ sịrị ndị Livayị, bụ ndị e doro nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị, ndị na-emekwa ka ndị Izrel ghọta ihe, “Dọnyenụ igbe nsọ ahụ nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ Solomọn, nwa Devid, bụ eze Izrel wuru. Unu ekwesịkwaghị ị na-ebugharị ya nʼubu unu ọzọ. Ugbu a jeerenụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, na ndị ya Izrel ozi.
4 Organize yourselves by the name of your ancestral houses and your divisions, following the written instructions of David, king of Israel, and those of Solomon, his son.
Kwadoonụ onwe unu nʼusoro ezinaụlọ unu nʼotu nʼotu, dịka ntụziaka ihe Devid, eze Izrel dere nʼakwụkwọ si dị, ya na nke Solomọn nwa ya si dịkwa.
5 Stand in the holy place, taking your position with your divisions within the ancestral houses of your brothers, the descendants of the people, and taking your places with your divisions within the ancestral houses of the Levites.
“Werenụ ọnọdụ nʼebe nsọ unu na otu ndị Livayị, maka nkewa nke ezinaụlọ nna nna unu ha si dị, bụ ikwu ndị Izrel, ndị na-abụghị ndị nchụaja.
6 Kill the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves, prepare the lambs for your brothers, to do according to the word of Yahweh that was given by the hand of Moses.”
Gbuonụ atụrụ ngabiga ndị ahụ, doonụ onwe unu nsọ, doziekwaranụ ụmụnna unu ndị Izrel aja ha, ime dịka ihe Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu si dị.”
7 Josiah gave to all the people thirty thousand lambs and kids from flocks for the Passover offerings to all who were present. He also gave three thousand bulls; these were from the king's possessions.
Josaya nyere ndị niile nọ nʼebe ahụ onyinye igwe ewu na atụrụ ọnụọgụgụ ya dị iri puku atọ, nke ha ga-eji chụọ aja Mmemme Ngabiga. O nyekwara ha puku oke ehi atọ site nʼakụ eze.
8 His leaders gave a free will offering to the people, priests, and Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the officials in charge of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings 2,600 small cattle and three hundred oxen.
Ndịisi ya nyekwara ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị onyinye afọ ofufu. Otu a kwa, Hilkaya na Zekaraya, na Jehiel, ndị na-elekọta ụlọnsọ Chineke nyere ndị nchụaja puku ewu na atụrụ abụọ na narị isii, nyekwa ha narị oke ehi atọ, maka iji chụọ aja Ngabiga.
9 Also Konaniah, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small cattle and five hundred oxen.
Ndị bụ ndị ndu nʼebo Livayị aha ha bụ Konanaya, na Shemaya, na Netanel, na nwanne ya Hashabaya, na Jeiel, na Jozabad, nyere ndị Livayị puku ewu na atụrụ ise, na narị oke ehi ise maka iji ha chụọ aja Ngabiga.
10 So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their places, with the Levites by their divisions, in response to the king's command.
Mgbe e dozichara usoro ije ozi ahụ niile, ndị nchụaja weere ọnọdụ ha, ha na ndị Livayị nʼoke ọrụ ha nʼusoro dịka eze nyere nʼiwu.
11 They killed the Passover lambs, and the priests sprinkled the blood that they received from the Levites' hand, and the Levites skinned the lambs.
Mgbe ahụ ndị Livayị gburu atụrụ ngabiga ahụ niile, were ọbara ha nye ndị nchụaja. Ha fesara ya nʼebe ịchụ aja mgbe ndị Livayị nọ na-agba anụ ndị ahụ akpụkpọ.
12 They removed the burnt offerings, in order to distribute them to the divisions of the ancestral houses of the people, to offer them to Yahweh, as it is written in the Book of Moses. They did the same with the bulls.
Ha kenyere ezinaụlọ ọbụla anụ ndị ahụ niile ka ha jiri nke ha ketara chụọ aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị nʼusoro dịka e dere nʼime akwụkwọ Mosis. Otu a ka ha mekwara banyere ehi ndị ahụ.
13 They roasted the Passover lambs with fire following the instructions. As for the consecrated offerings, they boiled them in pots, cauldrons, and pans, and they quickly carried them to all the people.
Otu a kwa, dịka e dere ya nʼiwu Mosis, ha hụrụ anụ aja ngabiga ahụ nʼọkụ, sie aja ndị dị nsọ nʼite, buputa ha ngwangwa kee ha ndị mmadụ niile.
14 They later prepared offerings for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were occupied in offering the burnt offerings and the fat until nightfall, so the Levites prepared the offerings for themselves and for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
Emesịa, ha kwadooro onwe ha ihe, ma kwadokwara ndị nchụaja, nʼihi na ndị nchụaja, bụ ụmụ Erọn, nọọrị na-achụ aja nsure ọkụ na abụba anụ ruo abalị. Ya mere, ndị Livayị ji kwadoro onwe ha ma kwadokwara ndị nchụaja, bụ ụmụ Erọn ihe.
15 The singers, the descendants of Asaph, were in their place, as directed by David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer, and the guards were at every gate. They did not have to leave their post, because their brothers the Levites made preparations for them.
Ndị ikwu Asaf ndị a, bụ ndị na-abụ abụ, nọkwa nʼọnọdụ ha nʼusoro dịka ihe Devid, na Asaf, na Heman, na Jedutun onye amụma eze nyere nʼiwu. Ndị na-eche nche nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ahapụghị ọnọdụ ha, nʼihi na ndị Livayị ibe ha doziri ihe debere ha.
16 So, at that time the entire service of Yahweh was carried out for the celebration of the Passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of Yahweh, as King Josiah commanded.
Ya mere, e doziri ofufe niile nke Onyenwe anyị nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, maka ime Mmemme Ngabiga na ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ niile nʼebe ịchụ aja Onyenwe anyị, dịka eze Josaya nyere nʼiwu.
17 The people of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and then the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days.
Ndị Izrel bụ ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ mere Mmemme Ngabiga nʼoge ahụ, meekwa mmemme achịcha ekoghị eko ụbọchị asaa.
18 Such a Passover celebration had never been held in Israel from the days of the prophet Samuel, nor had any of the other kings of Israel ever celebrated such a Passover as Josiah did, along with the priests, Levites, and all the people of Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
E mebeghị Mmemme Ngabiga nʼụdị a nʼIzrel, site nʼụbọchị Samuel onye amụma, o nwebekwaghị eze Izrel ọbụla nke merela mmemme a dịka Josaya mere, ya na ndị nchụaja, ndị Livayị na ndị Juda niile na ndị Izrel niile bụ ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ tinyere ndị Jerusalem.
19 This Passover was kept in the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah.
Ọ bụ nʼafọ nke iri na asatọ nke ọchịchị Josaya, ka e mere Mmemme Ngabiga a.
20 After all this, after Josiah had set the temple in order, Necho, king of Egypt, went up to fight against Carchemish at the Euphrates River, and Josiah went to fight against him.
Emesịa, mgbe Josaya hazisịrị ihe nʼụlọnsọ ahụ, Neko eze Ijipt gbagoro ịga buo agha na Kakemish, nke dị nʼakụkụ osimiri Yufretis. Mgbe ahụ, Josaya pụkwara izute ya nʼagha.
21 But Necho sent ambassadors to him, saying, “What have I to do with you, king of Judah? I am not coming against you today, but against the house with which I am making war. God has commanded me to hurry, so refrain from interfering with God, who is with me, or he might destroy you.”
Ma Neko zipụrụ ndị ozi bịara zie Josaya ozi, sị ya, “Olee esemokwu dị ugbu a nʼetiti mụ na gị, gị eze Juda? Ọ bụghị ibuso gị agha ka m bịara, kama ọ bụ naanị ụlọ mụ na ha nọ nʼagha. Chineke sịrị m ka m mee ngwa; ya mere, egbochikwala Chineke onye nọnyeere m, ka ọ ghara iji iwe bibie gị.”
22 However, Josiah refused to turn away from him. He disguised himself in order to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Necho that had come from the mouth of God; so he went to fight in the Valley of Megiddo.
Ma Josaya esiteghị nʼebe ọ nọ chigharịa, kama o nwogharịrị onwe ya, ka a ghara ịmata onye ọ bụ, maka ịga buso ya agha. O geghịkwa ntị na okwu ahụ eze Neko kwuru nke si nʼaka Chineke bịa, kama ọ pụrụ ibuso ya agha nʼala Megido.
23 Archers shot King Josiah, and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am badly wounded.”
Ma mgbe ndị nʼagba ụta gbatara eze, bụ Josaya ụta, eze gwara ndị ozi ya sị, “Bupunụ m, nʼihi na emerụọla m ahụ nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu.”
24 So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in his extra chariot. They took him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs of his ancestors. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
Ya mere, ha sitere nʼụgbọ agha ya bulie ya bubanye ya nʼime ụgbọ agha ọzọ, bulata ya na Jerusalem, ebe ọ nọ nwụọ. E liri ya nʼili nna nna ya ha, ndị Juda na Jerusalem niile ruuru ya uju.
25 Jeremiah lamented for Josiah; all the male and female singers lament about Josiah to this day. These songs became customary in Israel; behold, they are written in the songs of lament.
Jeremaya bụụrụ Josaya abụ akwa, ruo taa ndị ikom na ndị inyom na-abụ abụ a iji na-echeta Josaya. Nke a ghọrọ omenaala nʼIzrel, e dekwara ya nʼakwụkwọ abụ akwa dị iche iche.
26 As for the other matters concerning Josiah, and his good deeds done in obedience to what is written in the law of Yahweh—
Ihe ndị ọzọ niile Josaya mere, na ọrụ ebere niile ọ rụrụ nʼusoro ihe e dere nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị,
27 and his deeds, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
na akụkọ ndụ ya site na mmalite ruo nʼọgwụgwụ, ka e depụtara nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Izrel na Juda.
