< 2 Chronicles 35 >
1 Moreover, Josiah kept a passover to the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover 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 And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD,
O debekwara ndị nchụaja nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, gbaa ha ume ka ha bidokwa ịrụ ọrụ ha.
3 And said to the Levites that taught all Israel, who were holy to the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built; [it shall] not [be] a burden upon [your] shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and 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 And prepare [yourselves] by the houses of your fathers after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing 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 And stand in the holy [place] according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and [after] the division of the families 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 So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that [they] may do according to the word of the LORD 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 And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover-offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these [were] of the king's substance.
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 And his princes gave willingly to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the passover-offerings two thousand and six hundred [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 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah, and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jehiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave to the Levites for 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 place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king's commandment.
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 And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled [the blood] from their hands, and the Levites flayed [them].
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 And they removed the burnt-offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer to the LORD, as [it is] written in the book of Moses. And so [did they] with the oxen.
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 And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the [other] holy [offerings] they boiled in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided [them] speedily among 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 And afterwards they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron [were busied] in offering burnt-offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons 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 And the singers the sons of Asaph [were] in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the porters [waited] at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared 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 all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt-offerings upon the altar of the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah.
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 And the children of Israel [that were] present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
Ndị Izrel bụ ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ mere Mmemme Ngabiga nʼoge ahụ, meekwa mmemme achịcha ekoghị eko ụbọchị asaa.
18 And there was no passover like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that 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 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.
Ọ bụ nʼafọ nke iri na asatọ nke ọchịchị Josaya, ka e mere Mmemme Ngabiga a.
20 After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Charchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out 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 he sent embassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? [I come] not against thee this day, but against the house with which I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from [meddling with] God, who [is] with me, that he may not destroy thee.
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 Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself that he might fight with him, and hearkened not to the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came 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 And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am severely 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 His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in [one of] the sepulchers of his fathers. And 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 And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women have spoken of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and behold, they [are] written in the lamentations.
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 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to [that which was] written in the law of the LORD,
Ihe ndị ọzọ niile Josaya mere, na ọrụ ebere niile ọ rụrụ nʼusoro ihe e dere nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị,
27 And his deeds, first and last, behold, they [are] written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
na akụkọ ndụ ya site na mmalite ruo nʼọgwụgwụ, ka e depụtara nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Izrel na Juda.
