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.
Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed 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 set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service 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 said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and 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 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.
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 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.
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.”
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.
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 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.
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 willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle and three hundred oxen.
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.
Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for passover offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.
10 Naguo ũtungata ũgĩtabarĩrio, nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩrũgama handũ hao hamwe na Alawii marĩ ikundi-inĩ ciao o ta ũrĩa mũthamaki aathanĩte.
So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king's commandment.
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 hands, and the Levites flayed them.
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 removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.
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 they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the other holy offerings cook they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all 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 afterward they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests 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 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.
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 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.
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 to 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.
19 Bathaka ĩyo yakũngũĩirwo mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩnana wa wathani wa Josia.
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.
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.
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.
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.”
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 wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear you from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy you not.
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.
Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
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 Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore 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.
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.
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 Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are 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,
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that which was 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 deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
