2 Maũndũ 35
1 Josia nĩakũngũĩire Bathaka ya Jehova kũu Jerusalemu, nako gatũrũme ka Bathaka gaathĩnjirwo mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri wa mbere.
And Josias kept a passover to the Lord his God; and sacrificed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 Akĩamũra athĩnjĩri-Ngai na akĩmaiga mawĩra-inĩ mao, akĩmekĩra hinya makĩgĩa na kĩyo gĩa gũtungata hekarũ ya Jehova.
And he appointed the priests at their charges, and encouraged them for the services of the house of the Lord.
3 Akĩĩra Alawii arĩa maarutanaga Isiraeli guothe na maarĩkĩtie kwamũrĩrwo Jehova atĩrĩ: “Igai ithandũkũ rĩrĩa rĩamũre hekarũ-inĩ ĩrĩa yaakirwo nĩ Solomoni mũrũ wa Daudi mũthamaki wa Isiraeli. Mũtirĩrĩkuuaga na ciande. Na rĩrĩ, tungatagĩrai Jehova Ngai wanyu, na andũ ake a Isiraeli.
And he told the Levites that were able [to act] in all Israel, that they should consecrate themselves to the Lord: and they put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built: and the king said, You must not carry anything on your shoulders: now then minister to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel.
4 Mwĩhaarĩriei kũringana na nyũmba cianyu na ũrĩa ikundi cianyu itariĩ, na kũringana na watho ũrĩa waandĩkĩtwo nĩ Daudi mũthamaki wa Isiraeli na mũriũ Solomoni.
And prepare yourselves according to the houses of your families, and according to your daily courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and [the order] by the hand of his son Solomon.
5 “Rũgamai handũ harĩa hatheru mũrĩ na gĩkundi kĩa Alawii, kĩrũgamĩrĩire o gakundi ka nyũmba cia andũ a bũrũri wanyu arĩa matarĩ Alawii.
And stand you in the house according to the divisions of the houses of your families for your brethren the sons of the people; [so] also let there be for the Levites a division of the house of their family.
6 Thĩnjai tũtũrũme twa Bathaka, mwĩamũre na mũhaarĩrie tũtũrũme tũu nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a bũrũri wanyu, mwĩke ũrĩa Jehova aathanire na kanua ka Musa.”
And kill you the passover, and prepare [it] for your brethren, to do according to the word of the Lord, by the hand of Moses.
7 Josia akĩrutĩra andũ arĩa mataarĩ Alawii arĩa maarĩ hau mũigana wa ngʼondu na mbũri 30,000 cia igongona rĩa Bathaka, o na ngʼombe 3,000, ciothe ciumĩte harĩ indo cia mũthamaki.
And Josias gave as an offering to the children of the people, sheep, and lambs, and kids of the young of the goats, all for the passover, [even for] all that were found, in number [amounting to] thirty thousand, and three thousand calves, these [were] of the substance of the king.
8 Anene ake o nao nĩmarutĩire andũ, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, o na Alawii indo meyendeire. Hilikia, na Zekaria, na Jehieli, arĩa maarĩ arũgamĩrĩri a hekarũ ya Ngai, nĩmaheire athĩnjĩri-Ngai indo 2,600 cia maruta ma Bathaka, na ngʼombe 300.
And his princes gave an offering to the people, and to the priests, and to the Levites: and Chelcias and Zacharias and Jeiel the chief men gave to the priests of the house of God, they even gave for the passover sheep, and lambs, and kids, two thousand and six hundred, and three hundred calves.
9 O na Konania, marĩ na Shemaia na Nathaneli ariũ a ithe, na Hashabia, na Jeieli, na Jozabadu, arĩa atongoria a Alawii, makĩruta mũigana wa indo 5,000 cia maruta ma Bathaka, na ngʼombe 500 cia Alawii.
And Chonenias, and Banaeas, and Samaeas, and Nathanael his brother, and Asabias, and Jeiel, and Jozabad, heads of the Levites, gave an offering to the Levites for the passover, of five thousand sheep and five hundred calves.
10 Naguo ũtungata ũgĩtabarĩrio, nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩrũgama handũ hao hamwe na Alawii marĩ ikundi-inĩ ciao o ta ũrĩa mũthamaki aathanĩte.
And the service was duly ordered, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their divisions, according to the command of the king.
11 Natuo tũtũrũme twa Bathaka tũgĩthĩnjwo, nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩminjaminja thakame ĩrĩa maanengeretwo, o Alawii magĩthĩnjaga nyamũ icio.
And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hand, and the Levites flayed [the victims].
12 Nao makĩiga maruta ma njino mwanya nĩguo mamaheane kũrĩ tũkundi twa nyũmba cia andũ, nĩguo marutĩre Jehova, o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ rĩa Musa. Ũguo noguo meekire ũhoro-inĩ wa ngʼombe.
And they prepared the whole burnt offering to give to them, according to the division by the houses of families, [even] to the sons of the people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses.
13 Nao makĩhĩhia nyamũ cia Bathaka mwaki-inĩ, ta ũrĩa gwatuĩtwo, nacio indo cia igongona iria nyamũre igĩtherũkio na nyũngũ, na itengʼũ, o na nyũngũ cia igera, na igĩcooka ikĩgaĩrwo andũ othe o narua.
And thus [they did] till the morning. And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance; and boiled the holy [pieces] in copper vessels and cauldrons, and [the feast] went on well, and they quickly served all the children of the people.
14 Thuutha wa ũguo magĩĩthondekera o ene, o na magĩthondekera athĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩgũkorwo athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa maarĩ a rũciaro rwa Harũni, nĩmarutaga maruta ma njino na ma maguta nginya hwaĩ-inĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Alawii nĩmethondekeire nyama ciao o ene, na cia athĩnjĩri-Ngai a rũciaro rwa Harũni.
And after they had prepared for themselves and for the priests, for the priests [were engaged] in offering the whole burnt offerings and the fat until night, then the Levites prepared for themselves, and for their brethren the sons of Aaron.
15 Nao aini a njiaro cia Asafu, maikarĩte o kũndũ kũrĩa kwahaarĩirio nĩ Daudi, na Asafu, na Hemani, na Jeduthuni ũrĩa woonagĩra mũthamaki maũndũ. Nao aikaria a ihingo matiarĩ na gĩtũmi gĩa kuuma harĩa maigĩtwo, nĩgũkorwo Alawii acio a thiritũ yao nĩmamathondekeire indo ciao cia Bathaka.
And the sons of Asaph the psalm-singers [were] at their post according to the commands of David, and Asaph, and Aeman, and Idithom, the prophets of the king: also, the chiefs and the porters of the several gates; —it was not for them to stir from the service of the holy things, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ihinda rĩu ũtungata wothe wa Jehova wa gũkũngũĩra Bathaka na iruta rĩa njino, warutĩirwo kĩgongona-inĩ kĩa Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Mũthamaki Josia aathanĩte.
So all the service of the Lord was duly ordered and prepared in that day, for keeping the passover, and offering the whole burnt sacrifices on the altar of the Lord, according to the command of king Josias.
17 Nao andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maarĩ ho magĩkũngũĩra Bathaka ihinda-inĩ rĩu, na makĩgĩa na Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩĩkĩre Ndawa ya Kũimbia kahinda ka mĩthenya mũgwanja.
And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
18 Nakuo gũtiagĩte na Gĩathĩ kĩa Bathaka kĩhaana ta kĩu kũu Isiraeli kuuma matukũ-inĩ ma mũnabii Samũeli; na gũtirĩ mũthamaki o na ũmwe wa Isiraeli wakũngũĩire Bathaka ta ũrĩa Josia aamĩkũngũĩire, marĩ hamwe na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Alawii, na andũ othe a Juda na a Isiraeli, o hamwe na andũ a Jerusalemu.
And there was no passover like it in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet, or any king of Israel: they kept not such a passover as Josias, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Juda and Israel that were present, and the dwellers in Jerusalem, kept to the Lord.
19 Bathaka ĩyo yakũngũĩirwo mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩnana wa wathani wa Josia.
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias this passover was kept, after all these things that Josias did in the house.
20 Thuutha wa maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Josia aakorirwo aigĩte hekarũ na njĩra njega, Neko mũthamaki wa Misiri nĩambatire akarũĩre handũ heetagwo Karikemishi Rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Farati, nake Josia akiumagara akahũũrane nake.
And Pharao Nechao king of Egypt went up against the king of the Assyrians to the river Euphrates, and king Josias went to meet him.
21 No Neko akĩmũtũmĩra andũ makamũũrie atĩrĩ, “Tũrĩ na haaro ĩrĩkũ niĩ nawe, wee mũthamaki wa Juda? Tiwe ndĩratharĩkĩra kahinda gaka, no ndĩ na nyũmba ĩrĩa ndĩ na mbaara nayo. Ngai anjĩĩrĩte hiũhe; nĩ ũndũ ũcio tiga gũkararia Ngai, ũrĩa ũrĩ hamwe na niĩ, kana akwanange.”
And he sent messengers to him, saying, What have I to do with you, O king of Juda? I am not come today to war against you; and God has told me to hasten: beware of the God that is with me, lest he destroy you.
22 No rĩrĩ, Josia ndaigana kũgarũrũka atigane nake, no nĩ kwĩgarũra egarũrire nĩguo ndakamenyeke nĩgeetha akarũe nake. Ndaigana gũthikĩrĩria ũrĩa Neko aathĩtwo nĩ Ngai oige, no nĩathiire kũrũa nake werũ-inĩ wa Megido.
However, Josias turned not his face from him, but strengthened himself to fight against him, and listened not to the words of Nechao by the mouth of God, and he came to fight in the plain of Mageddo.
23 Nao aikia a mĩguĩ makĩratha Mũthamaki Josia nayo, nake akĩĩra ndungata ciake atĩrĩ, “Njeheriai haha nĩ ũndũ nĩndagurario mũno.”
And the archers shot at king Josias; and the king said to his servants, Take me away, for I am severely wounded.
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũruta ngaari-inĩ yake ya mbaara, makĩmũhaicia ngaari-inĩ ĩngĩ okĩte nayo, makĩmũtwara Jerusalemu kũrĩa aakuĩrĩire. Nake agĩthikwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ cia maithe make, nao andũ othe a Juda na Jerusalemu makĩmũcakaĩra.
And his servants lifted him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot which he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried with his fathers: and all Juda and Jerusalem lamented over Josias.
25 Jeremia nĩandĩkire macakaya makoniĩ Josia, na nginya ũmũthĩ aini othe arũme na andũ-a-nja nĩmaririkanaga Josia macakaya-inĩ macio. Macakaya macio magĩtuĩka mũtugo wa gwĩkagwo thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli, na ũkĩandĩkwo Macakaya-inĩ.
And Jeremias mourned over Josias, and all the chief men and chief women uttered a lamentation over Josias until this day: and they made it an ordinance for Israel, and, behold, it is written in the lamentations.
26 Namo maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Josia na ciĩko ciake cia wĩrutĩri, o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Watho-inĩ wa Jehova,
And the rest of the acts of Josias, and his hope, are written in the law of the Lord.
27 na nĩmo maũndũ mothe, kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia, maandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa athamaki a Isiraeli na a Juda.
And his acts, the first and the last, behold, [they are] written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
