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.
Na ka mahia e Hohia te kapenga ki Hiruharama hei mea ki a Ihowa; patua ana e ratou te kapenga i te tekau ma wha o te marama tuatahi.
2 He placed the priests in their positions and encouraged them in the service of the house of Yahweh.
I whakaturia ano e ia nga tohunga ki ta ratou mahi, i whakatenatena ano i a ratou ki nga mahi o te whare o Ihowa.
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.
A i mea ia ki nga Riwaiti, ki nga kaiwhakaako o Iharaira katoa, ara ki te hunga i tapu ki a Ihowa, Whakatakotoria te aaka tapu ki te whare i hanga e Horomona tama a Rawiri, kingi o Iharaira: a kore ake e tau he pikaunga ki runga ki o koutou pokoh iwi; me mahi koutou aianei ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, ki tana iwi ano, ki a Iharaira.
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.
Kia ata rite koutou, tenei whare, tenei whare o o koutou matua, i o koutou wehenga, kia rite ki te mea i tuhituhia e Rawiri kingi o Iharaira, ki te mea ano i tuhituhia e tana tama, e Horomona.
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.
Me tu hoki ki te wahi tapu; kia rite ano nga wehenga o nga whare o nga matua o o koutou tuakana, teina, o nga tama a te iwi, a ma tenei, ma tenei, he wehenga o tetahi o nga whare matua o nga Riwaiti.
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.”
Ka patu ai i te kapenga, ka whakatapu ai i a koutou, ka whakapai ano i o koutou tuakana, teina, kia rite ai ta ratou mahi ki ta Ihowa kupu, i korerotia ra e Mohi.
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.
I homai ano e Hohia ki nga tama a te iwi etahi reme, etahi kuao koati i te kahui, enei katoa mo nga kapenga, hei mea ma te hunga katoa i reira, e toru tekau mano te maha, e toru mano nga puru: no nga taonga enei a te kingi.
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.
I homai ano e ana rangatira, he mea tapae noa ki te iwi, ki nga tohunga, ki nga Riwaiti. I homai e Hirikia, e Hakaraia, e Tehiere, ara e nga rangatira o te whare o te Atua ki nga tohunga etahi kararehe hei mea kapenga, e rua mano e ono rau, he pu ru hoki e toru rau.
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.
Na, ko ona teina, ko Konania, ko Hemaia, ko Netaneere, me nga rangatira o nga riwaiti, me Hahapia, ratou ko Teiere, ko Iotapara, homai ana e ratou ki nga Riwaiti hei mea kapenga, e rima mano o etahi kararehe ano, e rima rau nga puru.
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.
Heoi kua rite nga mea mo te mahi, a kau tu nga tohunga ki o ratou turanga, me nga Riwaiti, tenei wehenga, tenei wehenga o ratou, ko ta te kingi hoki i whakahau ai.
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.
Na ka patua te kapenga, tauhuihia ana e nga tohunga te toto i homai nei ki o ratou ringa, a na nga Riwaiti i tihore.
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.
I wehea hoki e ratou nga tahunga tinana, hei hoatu ki nga wehenga o nga whare o nga matua o te iwi, hei whakahere ki a Ihowa, kia rite ai ki te mea i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka a Mohi: pena ana ano ratou ki nga kau.
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.
A tunua ana e ratou te kapenga ki te ahi, rite tonu ta ratou ki te tikanga. Ko era atu mea tapu ia i kohuatia ki te kohua, ki te pata, ki te hopane, a, hohoro tonu te tuwha ma te iwi katoa.
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.
A muri iho ka taka ma ratou ake ko nga tohunga; i te mahi tonu hoki nga tohunga, nga tama a Arona, i te whakaeke i nga tahunga tinana, i te ngako a po noa; no reira ko nga Riwaiti hei taka ma ratou ko nga tohunga, ko nga tama a Arona.
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.
Na, ko nga kaiwaiata, ko nga tama a Ahapa i to ratou na turanga, ko ta Rawiri hoki ia i whakahau ai, ratou ko Ahapa, ko Hemana, ko Ierutunu matakite a te kingi. Na, ko nga kaitiaki kuwaha i tenei kuwaha, i tenei kuwaha ratou; kahore he tikanga k ia mahua ta ratou mahi, ko o ratou tuakana hoki, ko nga Riwaiti, hei taka ma ratou.
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.
Heoi oti ake te mahi katoa ki a Ihowa i taua ra ano, ara te mahi i te kapenga, me te whakaeke ano i nga tahunga tinana ki runga ki te aata a Ihowa, ko ta Kingi Hohia hoki i whakahau ai.
17 The people of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and then the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days.
Na i mahia i taua wa e nga tama a Iharaira i kitea ki reira te kapenga me te hakari taro rewenakore, e whitu ra:
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.
Kahore hoki he kapenga hei rite mo tera i mahia i roto i a Iharaira, no nga ra ano o Hamuera poropiti: kahore hoki he kapenga i mahia e nga kingi katoa o Iharaira hei rite mo ta Hohia i mahi ai, ratou ko nga tohunga, ko nga Riwaiti, ko Hura kato a, me te hunga o Iharaira i reira, me nga tangata ano o Hiruharama.
19 This Passover was kept in the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah.
No te tekau ma waru o nga tau o te kingitanga o Hohia i mahia ai tenei kapenga.
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.
I muri i tenei katoa, i te mea ka oti i a Hohia te temepara te whakapai ka haere a Neko kingi o Ihipa ki te tatau ki Karakemihi ki te taha o Uparati, a puta ana a Hohia ki te tu i a ia.
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.”
Otiia ka tono tangata mai tera ki a ia, hei mea, Ko te aha ta taua, e te kingi o Hura? ehara taku inaianei i te mea ki a koe; engari ki te whare ka whawhaitia nei e ahau; kua mea nei hoki te Atua ki ahau kia hohoro taku. Kei pokanoa koe ki ta te Atua; kei ahau hoki ia, kei whakangaro ia i a koe.
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.
Kihai ia te mata o Hohia i tahuri atu i a ia. Whakaahua ke ana ia i a ia, he mea kia whawhai raua; kihai ano i rongo ki nga kupu a Neko, no te mangai o te Atua; a haere ana ki te whawhai ki te raorao i Mekiro.
23 Archers shot King Josiah, and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am badly wounded.”
Na ka kopere nga kaikopere ki a Kingi Hohia. A ka mea te kingi ki ana tangata, Kawea atu ahau; he nui rawa hoki toku tunga.
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.
Na ka tangohia ia e ana tangata i te hariata, a utaina ana ki te tuarua o ana hariata, kawea atu ana ki Hiruharama, a mate iho ia; na tanumia ana ia ki nga urupa o ona matua. A tangihia ana a Hohia e Hura katoa, e Hiruharama.
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.
A i waiatatia ano e Heremaia he apakura mo Hohia; i korerotia ano a Hohia e nga kaiwaiata, e nga tane, e nga wahine, i a ratou apakura, a taea noatia tenei ra; a waiho iho e ratou hei tikanga ma Iharaira. Nana, kei roto na i nga waiata tangi.
26 As for the other matters concerning Josiah, and his good deeds done in obedience to what is written in the law of Yahweh—
Na, ko era atu meatanga a Hohia, me ana mahi atawhai, rite tonu ki nga mea i tuhituhia ki te ture a Ihowa,
27 and his deeds, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Ko ana meatanga o mua, o muri, nana, kei te tuhituhi i te pukapuka o nga kingi o Iharaira, o Hura.
