Kronika 2 35
1 Yosia ɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui na Yehowa le Yerusalem eye wowu Ŋutitotolẽvi la le ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke wuienelia dzi.
And Josias kept a phase to the Lord in Jerusalem, and it was sacrificed on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 Yosia gbugbɔ nunɔlawo ɖo woƒe dɔwo nu eye wòdo ŋusẽ wo be woagadze woƒe dɔwo wɔwɔ gɔme le gbedoxɔ la me.
And he set the priests in their offices, and exhorted them to minister in the house of the Lord.
3 Eɖo na Levitɔ siwo ŋu wokɔ eye wonye mawunyafialawo le Israel be, “Esi nubablaɖaka la le Solomo ƒe agbadɔ me azɔ ta la, megahiã be mianɔ ekɔm ɖe abɔta tso teƒe ɖeka yi teƒe bubu o eya ta miwɔ miaƒe ɣeyiɣi ŋu dɔ hena mawusɔbɔsubɔdɔwo wɔwɔ na Yehowa kple eƒe amewo.
And he spoke to the Levites, by whose instruction all Israel was sanctified to the Lord, saying: Put the ark in the sanctuary of the temple, which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built: for you shall carry it no more: but minister now to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel.
4 Midzra mia ɖokuiwo ɖo ɖe ƒomewo nu le míaƒe hatsotsowo me ɖe ale si David, Israel fia kple via, Solomo, ŋlɔe da ɖi la nu.
And prepare yourselves by your houses, and families according to your courses, as David king of Israel commanded, and Solomon his son hath written.
5 “Mitsi tsitre ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe la kple Levitɔwo ƒe ha aɖe ɖe ƒomewo ƒe ha ɖe sia ɖe nu ɖe mia nɔvi siwo menye nunɔlawo o la nu.
And serve ye in the sanctuary by the families and companies of Levi.
6 Miwu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ƒe alẽviawo, mikɔ mia ɖokuiwo ŋuti eye miakpe ɖe ame siwo va la ŋuti ɖe ɖoɖo siwo Yehowa na to Mose dzi la nu.”
And being sanctified kill the phase, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the words which the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.
7 Fia la tsɔ alẽvi kple gbɔ̃vi akpe blaetɔ̃ kple nyitsuvi akpe etɔ̃ na ameawo be woatsɔ asa Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ƒe vɔwoe.
And Josias gave to all the people that were found there in the solemnity of the phase, of lambs and of kids of the flocks, and of other small cattle thirty thousand, and of oxen three thousand, all these were of the king’s substance.
8 Dumegãwo na lɔlɔ̃nununanawo nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo. Hilkia, Zekaria kple Yehiel, ame siwo nye gbedoxɔ la dzikpɔlawo la na alẽ kple gbɔ̃ akpe eve alafa ade kple nyitsu alafa etɔ̃ abe woƒe Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui ƒe vɔsanuwo ene.
And his princes willingly offered what they had vowed, both to the people and to the priests and the Levites. Moreover Helcias, and Zacharias, and Jahiel rulers of the house of the Lord, gave to the priests to keep the phase two thousand six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.
9 Levitɔwo ƒe kplɔlawo, Konania, Semaya kple Netanel kple nɔviawo, Hasabia, Yeiel kple Yozabad na alẽ kple gbɔ̃ akpe atɔ̃ kple nyitsu alafa atɔ̃ Levitɔwo hena woƒe Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ƒe vɔsa.
And Chonenias, and Semeias and Nathanael, his brethren, and Hasabias, and Jehiel, and Jozabad princes of the Levites, gave to the rest of the Levites to celebrate the phase five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.
10 Esi wowu ɖoɖo ɖe sia ɖe nu vɔ la, nunɔlaawo tsi tsitre ɖe woƒe nɔƒewo eye Levitɔwo nɔ woƒe dɔwɔhawo me abe ale si fia la ɖo na wo ene.
And the ministry was prepared, and the priests stood in their office: the Levites also in their companies, according to the king’s commandment.
11 Levitɔwo wu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ƒe alẽviawo eye wotsɔ woƒe ʋu na nunɔlaawo wohlẽ ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu, esi Levitɔwo ɖe agbalẽ le lãawo ŋu.
And the phase was immolated: and the priests sprinkled the blood with their hand, and the Levites flayed the holocausts:
12 Woli kɔ alẽ siwo wowu la ɖi na hlɔ̃ vovovoawo be hlɔ̃ ɖe sia ɖe natsɔ etɔ asa numevɔe na Yehowa abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖe Mose ƒe sewo me ene. Wowɔ nyi siwo wowu hã nenema ke.
And they separated them to give them by the houses and families of every one, and to be offered to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses, and with the oxen they did in like manner.
13 Le esia megbe la, wome Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ƒe alẽviawo eye woɖa nunana kɔkɔewo le zewo kple agbawo me le Mose ƒe se la nu eye woɖe abla tsɔ wo yi na ameawo be woaɖu.
And they roasted the phase with fire, according to that which is written in the law: but the victims of peace offerings they boiled in caldrons, and kettles, and pots, and they distributed them speedily among all the people.
14 Emegbe la, Levitɔwo ɖa nu na woawo ŋutɔ kple nunɔlaawo, Aron ƒe viwo, elabena wonɔ dɔ dzi tso ŋdi va se ɖe fiẽ henɔ dzo tɔm numevɔsalãwo ƒe ami.
And afterwards they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: for the priests were busied in offering of holocausts and the fat until night: wherefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron last.
15 Hadzilawo, ame siwo nye Asaf ƒe viwo la nɔ woƒe nɔƒewo eye wozɔ ɖe ɖoɖo siwo Fia David, Asaf, Heman kple Yedutun, fia la ƒe nyagblɔɖila wɔ da ɖi ƒe geɖewo do ŋgɔ la dzi. Agbonudzɔlawo dzɔ agboawo nu, womedzo le woƒe agbowo nu o elabena wo nɔvi Levitɔwo tsɔ woƒe nuɖuɖu yi na wo.
And the singers the sons of Asaph stood in their order, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Idithun the prophets of the king: and the porters kept guard at every gate, so as not to depart one moment from their service: and therefore their brethren the Levites prepared meats for them.
16 Wowu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu nu le ŋkeke ɖeka ma dzi. Wosa numevɔwo katã le Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui la dzi abe ale si Yosia ɖoe da ɖi ene.
So all the service of the Lord was duly accomplished that day, both in keeping the phase, and offering holocausts upon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of king Josias.
17 Israelvi siwo nɔ Yerusalem la kpɔ gome le Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu me. Le esia megbe la, woɖu Abolo Maʋamaʋã ƒe Ŋkekenyui ŋkeke adre.
And the children of Israel that were found there, kept the phase at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
18 Tso Nyagblɔɖila Samuel ƒe ɣeyiɣi dzi la, womegaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la wòdze edzi alea kpɔ o, eye Israel fiawo dometɔ aɖeke mate ŋu aʋli ho kple Fia Yosia le ale si nunɔlawo, Levitɔwo kple ame siwo tso Yerusalem kple Yuda kple Israel ƒe akpa sia akpa sɔ gbɔe va ɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui sia me o.
There was no phase like to this in Israel, from the days of Samuel the prophet: neither did any of all the kings of Israel keep such a phase as Josias kept, with the priests, and the Levites, and all Juda, and Israel that were found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 Woɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui sia le fia Yosia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuienyilia me.
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias was this phase celebrated.
20 Le esia megbe la, esi Yosia ɖɔ gbedoxɔ la ɖo vɔ la, Egipte fia Neko ho yi be yeawɔ aʋa le Karkemis gbɔ le Frat tɔsisi la to, eye Yosia hã ho yi ɖakpee.
After that Josias had repaired the temple, Nechao king of Egypt came up to fight in Charcamis by the Euphrates: and Josias went out to meet him.
21 Neko ɖo amewo ɖe Yosia gbɔ be, “Nyemedi be mawɔ aʋa kpli wò, Yuda fia, o! Meva be mawɔ aʋa kple ame si mekpe aʋa kplii ko. Ɖe asi le ŋunye elabena Mawu gblɔ nam be, mawɔ kaba eya ta mègade nu Mawu ƒe nya sia me ne wòatsrɔ̃ wò o elabena Mawu li kplim.”
But he sent messengers to him, saying: What have I to do with thee, O king of Juda? I come not against thee this day, but I fight against another house, to which God hath commanded me to go in haste: forbear to do against God, who is with me, lest he kill thee.
22 Ke Yosia metrɔ dzo o, ke boŋ ekplɔ eƒe aʋakɔ la eye wòkpe aʋa kple Fia Neko ƒe aʋakɔ la le Megido balime. Eɖe eƒe fiawu da ɖi ale be futɔwo makpɔe adze sii o. Yosia mexɔe se be Mawu gbɔe Neko ƒe nya la tso o.
Josias would not return, but prepared to fight against him, and hearkened not to the words of Nechao from the mouth of God, I but went to fight in the field of Mageddo.
23 Futɔwo ƒe aŋutrɔdalawo ŋɔ Fia Yosia kple woƒe aŋutrɔwo eye wode abi eŋu. Yosia do ɣli na eŋumewo be, “Mitsɔm dzoe le aʋagbe la dzi.”
And there he was wounded by the archers, and he said to his servants: Carry me out of the battle, for I am grievously wounded.
24 Ale woɖee le eƒe tasiaɖam me de tasiaɖam evelia si nɔ esi la me eye wotsɔe yi Yerusalem, afi si wòku le. Woɖii ɖe tɔgbuiawo ƒe ɖiƒe eye Yuda blibo la kple Yerusalem fae.
And they removed him from the chariot into another, that followed him after the manner of kings, and they carried him away to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in the monument of his fathers, and all Juda and Jerusalem mourned for him,
25 Yeremia kpa konyifahawo na Yosia eye va se ɖe egbe la, hadzilawo, ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo siaa ɖoa ŋku Yosia dzi le konyifahawo me. Esia zu kɔnu le Israel eye woŋlɔ wo ɖe Konyifahawo me.
Particularly Jeremias: whose lamentations for Josias all the singing men and singing women repeat unto this day, and it became like a law in Israel: Behold it is found written in the Lamentations.
26 Woŋlɔ Yosia ƒe nuwɔna kple dɔ nyui bubuwo wɔwɔ kple ale si wòwɔ Yehowa ƒe sewo dzi la
Now the rest of the acts of Josias and of his mercies, according to what was commanded by the law of the Lord:
27 ɖe Israel fiawo kple Yuda fiawo ƒe Ŋutinya me.
And his works first and last, are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
