2 Chronicles 35

1 And Josiah maketh in Jerusalem a passover to Jehovah, and they slaughter the passover-offering on the fourteenth of the first month,

Pea naʻe fai foki ʻe Sosaia ʻa e [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu kia Sihova ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻae Lakaatu ʻi hono [ʻaho ]hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina.

2 and he stationeth the priests over their charges, and strengtheneth them for the service of the house of Jehovah,

Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻi honau ngaahi lakanga, ʻo ne tokoni ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngāue ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.

3 and saith to the Levites — who are teaching all Israel — who are sanctified to Jehovah, 'Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon son of David king of Israel built; it is not to you a burden on the shoulder. 'Now, serve Jehovah your God, and His people Israel,

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki he kau Livai ʻaia naʻe akonakiʻi ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻakinautolu naʻe māʻoniʻoni kia Sihova, “Mou ʻai ʻae puha māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fale naʻe langa ʻe Solomone ko e foha ʻo Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli: ʻe ʻikai ʻai ia ko e kavenga ki homou uma: ko eni mou tauhi ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, mo hono kakai ko ʻIsileli,

4 and prepare, by the house of your fathers, according to your courses, by the writing of David king of Israel, and by the writing of Solomon his son,

Pea teuteu ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ʻo fakatatau ki homou lakanga, ʻo taau mo e tohi ʻa Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, pea hangē ko e tohi ʻa Solomone ko hono foha.

5 and stand in the sanctuary, by the divisions of the house of the fathers of your brethren, sons of the people, and the portion of the house of a father of the Levites,

Pea mou tuʻu ʻi he potu māʻoniʻoni ʻo fakatatau mo e vahe ʻoe ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi tamai ʻo homou kāinga ko e kakai, pea taau mo e vahe ʻoe ngaahi fale ʻoe kau Livai.

6 and slaughter the passover-offering and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, to do according to the word of Jehovah by the hand of Moses.'

Ko ia mou tāmateʻi ʻae Lakaatu, pea fakamāʻoniʻoni ʻakimoutolu, pea teuteu homou ngaahi kāinga, koeʻuhi ke nau fai ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese.”

7 And Josiah lifteth up to the sons of the people a flock of lambs and young goats, the whole for passover-offerings, for every one who is found, to the number of thirty thousand, and oxen three thousand: these [are] from the substance of the king.

Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Sosaia ki he kakai, ʻi he fanga manu, ko e fanga lami mo e ʻuhikiʻi kosi, ko e meʻa foaki kotoa pē ki he [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu, maʻae kakai naʻe kātoa, ko e tolu mano, mo e fanga pulu ʻe tolu afe: naʻe ʻomi ʻae meʻa ni mei he koloa ʻae tuʻi.

8 And his heads, for a willing-offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites, have lifted up; Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Jehiel, leaders in the house of God, to the priests have given for passover-offerings two thousand and six hundred, and oxen three hundred;

Pea naʻe foaki fiemālie pe ʻe hono houʻeiki ki he kakai, pea ki he kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai: ko Hilikia mo Sakalia mo Sehieli, ko e kau pule ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, naʻa nau foaki ki he kau taulaʻeiki ko e feilaulau ʻi he [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu, ko e fanga manu siʻi ko e ua afe mo e onongeau, mo e fanga pulu ʻe tolungeau.

9 and Conaniah, and Shemaiah, and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah, and Jeiel, and Jozabad, heads of the Levites, have lifted up to the Levites, for passover-offerings, five thousand, and oxen five hundred.

Pea ko Kononaia foki, mo Simaia mo Netanili, ko hono kāinga, mo Hesapaia mo Sehieli mo Sosapati, ko e kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻoe kau Livai, naʻa nau foaki ki he kau Livai ko e feilaulau ki he [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu, ko e fanga manu siʻi ʻe nima afe, mo e fanga pulu ʻe nimangeau.

10 And the service is prepared, and the priests stand on their station, and the Levites on their courses, according to the command of the king,

Ko ia naʻe teuteu ʻae ngāue, pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻi honau potu, mo e kau Livai ʻi honau lakanga, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻae tuʻi.

11 and they slaughter the passover-offering, and the priests sprinkle out of their hand, and the Levites are striping;

Pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻae Lakaatu, pea naʻe luluku ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae toto mei honau nima, pea naʻe fohifohiʻi ʻae ngaahi manu ʻe he kau Livai.

12 and they turn aside the burnt-offering, to put them by the divisions of the house of the fathers of the sons of the people, to bring near to Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses — and so to the oxen.

Pea naʻa nau hiki ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, koeʻuhi ke nau foaki ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi vahe ʻoe ngaahi fale nofoʻanga ʻoe kakai, ke ʻatu kia Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ʻa Mōsese. Pea naʻa nau fai pehē pe ki he fanga pulu.

13 And they cook the passover with fire, according to the ordinance, and the sanctified things they have cooked in pots, and in kettles, and in pans — for all the sons of the people.

Pea naʻa nau tunu ʻa e [feilaulau ʻoe ]Lakaatu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻo fakatatau ki he tuʻutuʻuni: ka ko hono ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni niʻihi naʻa nau haka ʻi he ngaahi kulo, mo e kulo lahi, mo e ngaahi ipu, pea tufa leva ia ki he kakai kotoa pē.

14 And afterward they have prepared for themselves, and for the priests: for the priests, sons of Aaron, [are] in the offering up of the burnt-offering and of the fat till night; and the Levites have prepared for themselves, and for the priests, sons of Aaron.

Pea hili ia naʻa nau teuteu maʻanautolu, pea maʻae kau taulaʻeiki: koeʻuhi naʻe moʻua ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone ʻi he ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngako, ʻo feʻunga mo e poʻuli: ko ia naʻe teuteu ai maʻanautolu ʻe he kau Livai, pea maʻae kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone.

15 And the singers, sons of Asaph, [are] on their station, according to the command of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun seer of the king, and the gate keepers [are] at gate and gate; it is not for them to turn aside from off their service, for their brethren the Levites have prepared for them.

Pea naʻe ʻi honau potu ʻae kau hiva ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻAsafi, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Tevita, mo ʻAsafi, mo Hemoni, mo Situtuni ko e tangata kikite ʻae tuʻi: pea naʻe tali ʻi he matapā ʻae kau leʻo matapā: koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau ʻalu mei heʻenau ngāue: he naʻe teuteuʻi maʻanautolu ʻe honau kāinga ko e kau Livai.

16 And all the service of Jehovah is prepared on that day, to keep the passover, and to cause to ascend burnt-offering upon the altar of Jehovah, according to the command of king Josiah.

Pea pehē, naʻe teu ʻae ngāue kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻaho [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu, pea ke ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻae tuʻi ko Sosaia.

17 And the sons of Israel who are found make the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened things, seven days.

Pea naʻe fai ʻa e [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli naʻe ʻi ai, mo e kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻelēvani ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.

18 And there hath not been made a passover like it in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet, and none of the kings of Israel made such a passover as Josiah hath made, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who are found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Pea naʻe ʻikai ha [kātoanga ʻoe ]Lakaatu ʻe fai ʻi ʻIsileli ʻo hangē ko ia talu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Samuela ko e palōfita: pea naʻe ʻikai fai ha [kātoanga ʻoe ]Lakaatu ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Sosaia, mo e kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai, mo Siuta kotoa pē mo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻe kātoa, mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema.

19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah hath this passover been made.

Naʻe fai ʻa e [kātoanga ʻoe ]Lakaatu ni ʻi hono hongofulu ma valu ʻoe taʻu ʻae pule ʻa Sosaia.

20 After all this, when Josiah hath prepared the house, come up hath Necho king of Egypt, to fight against Carchemish by Phrat, and Josiah goeth forth to meet him;

Pea hili ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē, pea ʻosi hono teuʻi ʻae faletapu ʻe Sosaia, naʻe ui hake ʻa Niko ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ke tauʻi ʻa Kalikimisi ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he ʻIufaletisi: pea naʻe ʻalu kituaʻā ʻa Sosaia ke tauʻi ia.

21 and he sendeth unto him messengers, saying, 'What — to me and to thee, O king of Judah? not against thee do I come to-day, but unto the house with which I have war, and God said to haste me; cease for thee from God who [is] with me, and He doth not destroy thee.'

Ka naʻa ne fekau ʻae kau tangata fekau kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻeku kau kiate koe, ʻa koe ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta? ʻOku ʻikai te u haʻu ke tauʻi koe he ʻaho ni, ka ki he fale ʻaia ʻoku ou tauʻi: he naʻe fekau au ʻe he ʻOtua ke u fakatoʻotoʻo: ke ke taʻofi koe ke ʻoua naʻa ke fie kau ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate au, telia naʻa ne tāmateʻi koe.”

22 And Josiah hath not turned round his face from him, but to fight against him hath disguised himself, and hath not hearkened unto the words of Necho, from the mouth of God, and cometh in to fight in the valley of Megiddo;

Ka naʻe ʻikai fie kalofaki ʻe Sosaia hono mata meiate ia, ka naʻa ne fakapuli ia, koeʻuhi ke na fai mo ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tokanga ki he ngaahi lea ʻa Niko mei he fofonga ʻoe ʻOtua, ka naʻe haʻu ke tauʻi ia ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Mekito.

23 and the archers shoot at king Josiah, and the king saith to his servants, 'Remove me, for I have become very sick.'

Pea naʻe fana ʻe he kau fana ki he tuʻi ko Sosaia: pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “ʻAve au mei heni: he kuo u lavea lahi.”

24 And his servants remove him from the chariot, and cause him to ride on the second chariot that he hath, and cause him to go to Jerusalem, and he dieth, and is buried in the graves of his fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem are mourning for Josiah,

Ko ia naʻe ʻave ai ia ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki mei he saliote ko ia, pea naʻe tuku ia ki hono ua ʻo ʻene saliote naʻa ne maʻu: pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema, pea pekia ia: pea nau tanu ia ʻi he tanuʻanga ʻe taha ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai. Pea naʻe tangi mamahi ʻa Siuta mo Selūsalema koeʻuhi ko Sosaia.

25 and Jeremiah lamenteth for Josiah, and all the singers and the songstresses speak in their lamentations of Josiah unto this day, and set them for a statute on Israel, and lo, they are written beside the lamentations.

Pea naʻe tangilāulau ʻa Selemaia koeʻuhi ko Sosaia: pea naʻe kau kia Sosaia ʻae lea ʻae kau tangata hiva kotoa pē mo e kau fefine hiva ʻi heʻenau ngaahi lea tangi ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, pea naʻa nau fokotuʻu ia ko e meʻa fai maʻu ʻi ʻIsileli: pea vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he ngaahi tangilāulau.

26 And the rest of the matters of Josiah, and his kind acts, according as it is written in the law of Jehovah,

Pea ko eni, ko hono toe ʻoe ngāue ʻa Sosaia, mo ʻene angalelei, ʻo fakatatau ki ne meʻa naʻe tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova,

27 even his matters, the first and the last, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

Pea mo ʻene ngaahi ngāue, ko e ʻuluaki mo e kimui, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli mo Siuta.
