< Kronika 2 35 >
1 Yosia ɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui na Yehowa le Yerusalem eye wowu Ŋutitotolẽvi la le ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke wuienelia dzi.
Josiah kept a Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the Passover lamb 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.
He set the cohanim in their offices, and encouraged them to the service of 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.
He said to the Levites who 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. There shall no more be a burden on your shoulders. Now serve the LORD your God, and 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.
Prepare yourselves after your fathers' houses and by your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.
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.
Stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers' houses of your brothers the lay people, and let there be for each a portion of a fathers' house of the Levites.
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.”
Kill the Passover lamb, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the word of the LORD by Moses."
7 Fia la tsɔ alẽvi kple gbɔ̃vi akpe blaetɔ̃ kple nyitsuvi akpe etɔ̃ na ameawo be woatsɔ asa Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ƒe vɔwoe.
Josiah gave to the lay people, of the flock, lambs and young goats, all of them for the Passover offerings, to all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls: 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 officials gave for a freewill offering to the people, to the cohanim, and to the Levites; and Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of God's house, gave to the cohanim for the Passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small livestock, and three hundred head of cattle.
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.
Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small livestock, and five hundred head of cattle.
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.
So the service was prepared, and the cohanim stood in their place, and the Levites by their divisions, 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.
They killed the Passover lamb, and the cohanim sprinkled the blood from their hand, and the Levites flayed them.
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.
They removed the burnt offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the lay people, to offer to the LORD, as it is written in the scroll of Moses. So they did with the cattle.
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.
They roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance: and the holy offerings boiled they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the lay 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.
Afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the cohanim, because the cohanim the descendants of Aaron were busy with offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night: therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the cohanim the descendants of Aaron.
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.
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 gatekeepers were at every gate: they did not need to depart from their service; for their brothers the Levites prepared 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 prepared the same day, to keep the Passover, and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah.
17 Israelvi siwo nɔ Yerusalem la kpɔ gome le Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu me. Le esia megbe la, woɖu Abolo Maʋamaʋã ƒe Ŋkekenyui ŋkeke adre.
The children of Israel who were present kept the Passover 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 Passover like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did any of the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept, and the cohanim, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, 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 Josiah was this Passover kept.
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 all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Perath: and Josiah went out against 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 ambassadors to him, saying, "What have I to do with you, you king of Judah? I come not against you this day, but against the house with which I have war. God has commanded me to make haste. Beware that it is God who is with me, that he not destroy you."
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.
Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
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.”
The archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, "Take me away, because I am seriously 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.
So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
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.
Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel: and look, they are 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 Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of the LORD,
27 ɖe Israel fiawo kple Yuda fiawo ƒe Ŋutinya me.
and his acts, first and last, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
