1 Yosiya ya yi Bikin Ƙetarewa ga Ubangiji a Urushalima, aka kuma yanka ɗan ragon Bikin Ƙetarewa a ranar goma sha huɗu ga wata na farko.
Josiah [commanded that the people should] celebrate the Passover Festival to honor Yahweh in Jerusalem. So they slaughtered the lambs for the Passover [Festival] at the end of March.
2 Ya zaɓi firistoci su yi aikinsu, sai ya ƙarfafa su su yi aikin da kyau a hidimar haikalin Ubangiji.
Josiah assigned to the priests the tasks that they should perform at the temple and encouraged them to do their work well.
3 Ya ce wa Lawiyawa waɗanda suke koyar da dukan Isra’ila da kuma waɗanda aka tsarkake wa Ubangiji. “Ku sa akwatin alkawari mai tsarki a cikin haikalin da Solomon ɗan Dawuda sarkin Isra’ila ya gina. Ba za a riƙa ɗaukansa a kafaɗa ba. Yanzu ku bauta wa Ubangiji Allahnku da kuma mutanensa Isra’ila.
The [other] descendants of Levi were the ones who taught all the Israeli people; they had been dedicated to serve Yahweh. Josiah said to them, “Put the Sacred Chest in the temple that [the workers of] David’s son [King] Solomon of Israel built. But [carry it on poles; ] do not carry it on your shoulders. And do your your work well for Yahweh your God and for his Israeli people.
4 Ku shirya kanku iyali-iyali a sassanku, bisa ga umarnan da Dawuda sarkin Isra’ila da kuma ɗansa Solomon suka rubuta.
Divide yourselves into clans, obeying the instructions that King David and his son Solomon wrote.
5 “Ku tsaya a tsattsarkan wuri, bisa ga ƙungiyoyin gidajen kakannin’yan’uwanku, waɗanda su ba firistoci ba ne. Kowanne ya sami kashi daga cikin gidan Lawiyawa.
Then stand in the temple, with one group of the descendants of Levi to help each clan of the people [when they bring their offerings to the temple].
6 Ku yanka ragunan Bikin Ƙetarewa, ku tsarkake kanku, ku kuma shirya raguna domin’yan’uwanku, kuna yin abin da Ubangiji ya umarta ta wurin Musa.”
Slaughter the lambs for the Passover [Festival]. Perform the rituals to cause yourselves to be acceptable to Yahweh for doing this work. Prepare the sacrifices, doing what Yahweh told Moses to tell you that you should do.”
7 Yosiya ya tanada wa dukan mutanen da ba firistoci ba ne waɗanda suke a wurin, tumaki da awaki dubu talatin don a yanka saboda hadayun Bikin Ƙetarewa, ya kuma ba su shanu dubu uku. Dukan dabbobin kuwa daga garken sarki ne.
Josiah provided [from his own flocks and herds] 30,000 sheep and goats for the Passover sacrifices.
8 Fadawansa su ma suka ba da taimako da yardar rai ga mutane da kuma firistoci da Lawiyawa. Hilkiya, Zakariya da Yehiyel masu aiki a haikalin Allah, suka ba firistoci hadayun Bikin Ƙetarewa dubu biyu da ɗari shida da kuma shanu ɗari uku.
His officials also voluntarily contributed animals for the people and the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the officials who were in charge of the temple, gave to the priests 2,600 lambs and 300 cattle to be sacrifices for the Passover.
9 Haka kuma Konaniya tare da Shemahiya da Netanel, ɗan’uwansa, da Hashabiya, Yehiyel da Yozabad, shugabannin Lawiyawa, suka tanadar da hadayun Bikin Ƙetarewa dubu biyar da kuma bijimai ɗari biyar domin Lawiyawa.
And Conaniah along with his [younger] brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the leaders of the [other] descendants of Levi, provided 5,000 lambs and 500 cattle for the other descendants of Levi, to be sacrifices for the Passover.
10 Sa’ad da aka shirya kome don Bikin Ƙetarewar, sai Firistoci tare da Lawiyawa suka tsaya wurin tsayawarsu bisa ga umarnin sarki.
Everything [for the Passover] was arranged: The priests and the other descendants of Levi stood in their places in their groups, like the king had commanded.
11 Aka yanka ragunan Bikin Ƙetarewa, firistoci kuma suka yayyafa jinin da aka ba su, yayinda Lawiyawa suna fiɗan dabbobi.
Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs. The priests sprinkled the blood [from the bowls] that were handed to them, while the [other] descendants of Levi removed the skins from the animals.
12 Suka keɓe hadayun ƙonawa don su ba da su ga ƙungiyoyin iyalan mutane don su miƙa ga Ubangiji, yadda yake a rubuce a Littafin Musa. Suka yi haka da shanun.
They set aside the animals to be completely burned on the altar, in order to give them to the various family groups to offer to Yahweh, obeying the instructions that were written in the laws God gave Moses. They did the same thing with the cattle.
13 Suka gasa dabbobin Bikin Ƙetarewa a bisa wuta yadda aka tsara, suka dafa hadayu masu tsarki a tukwane, da manyan tukwane, da kuma kwanoni, suka raba su nan da nan ga dukan mutane.
Obeying those regulations, they roasted the lambs for the Passover over the fire. And they boiled the [meat of the] sacred offerings in pots and kettles and pans, and served the meat immediately to all the people [who were there].
14 Bayan wannan, suka shirya wa kansu da kuma wa firistoci, saboda firistoci, zuriyar Haruna, suna miƙa hadayun ƙonawa da sashen kitse daga safe har dare. Saboda haka Lawiyawa suka shirya wa kansu da kuma wa firistocin daga zuriyar Haruna.
After that, they prepared meat for themselves and for the priests, because the priests were busy until nighttime, sacrificing the offerings to be completely burned and burning the fat parts of the offerings. So the [other] descendants of Levi prepared meat for themselves and for the priests, who were descendants of Aaron, [the first Supreme Priest].
15 Mawaƙa zuriyar Asaf, suna a wuraren da Dawuda, Asaf, Heman da Yedutun mai duba na sarki suka tsara. Bai zama lalle matsaran ƙofofi a kowace ƙofa su bar wuraren aikinsu ba, domin’yan’uwansu Lawiyawa sun yi shiri dominsu.
The musicians, who were descendants of Asaph, stood in their places, as King David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s prophet had commanded. The men who guarded the gates [of the temple] did not need to leave their places, because their fellow descendants of Levi prepared food for them to eat.
16 Ta haka fa aka yi dukan hidimar Ubangiji a wannan rana, domin su kiyaye Bikin Ƙetarewa, domin kuma su miƙa hadayu na ƙonawa a bisa bagaden Ubangiji, yadda sarki Yosiya ya umarta.
So on that day everything that needed to done for worshiping Yahweh was done. They celebrated the Passover [Festival], and they presented offerings to be completely burned on the altar, which was what Josiah had commanded.
17 Isra’ilawan da suka kasance a can suka yi Bikin Ƙetarewa a wannan rana, suka kuma kiyaye Bikin Burodi Marar Yisti kwana bakwai.
The Israelis who were there celebrated the Passover [Festival] on that day, and for seven days they celebrated the Festival of [Eating] Unleavened Bread.
18 Ba a taɓa yin Bikin Ƙetarewa haka ba tun zamanin annabi Sama’ila; kuma babu sarkin Isra’ilan da ya taɓa yin irin Bikin Ƙetarewa kamar yadda Yosiya ya yi, tare da firistoci, Lawiyawa da kuma dukan Yahuda da Isra’ila, waɗanda suke can tare da mutanen Urushalima.
The Passover [Festival] had not been celebrated like that in Israel since the time that the prophet Samuel lived. None of the other kings of Israel had ever celebrated the Passover like Josiah did, along with the priests, the other descendants of Levi, and all [the other people of] Judah and Israel who were there with the people who lived in Jerusalem.
19 An yi wannan Bikin Ƙetarewa a shekara ta goma sha takwas ta mulkin Yosiya.
They celebrated this Passover Festival when Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years.
20 Bayan wannan duka, sa’ad da Yosiya ya shirya haikali, Neko sarkin Masar ya haura don yă yi yaƙi a Karkemish a Yuferites, sai Yosiya ya fita don yă fafata da shi a yaƙi.
After Josiah had done all those things to [restore the worship at] the temple, King Neco of Egypt went [with his army] to attack Carchemish [city] alongside the Euphrates [River], and Josiah marched [with his army] to fight against them.
21 Amma Neko ya aiki’yan saƙo ga Yosiya, yana cewa, “Me ya gama ni da kai, ya Sarkin Yahuda? Ban zo in yi yaƙi da kai ba. Na zo ne in yi yaƙi da gidan da yake gāba da ni! Ka ƙyale ni! Allah ne ya riga ya faɗa mini in hanzarta. Kada ka yi gāba da Allah, wanda yake tare da ni, don kada yă hallaka ka.”
Neco sent some messengers to Josiah, to tell him, “You are the king of Judah, and there is certainly no quarrel between you and me. My army is not attacking you people; we are attacking another army, [the army of Babylonia]. God has told me to hurry. So stop opposing God, who is for me. If you do not stop, God will get rid of you.”
22 Yosiya fa, bai juya daga gare shi ba, amma ya ɓad da kama don yă yi yaƙin. Bai saurari abin da Neko ya faɗa bisa ga umarnin Allah ba, amma ya tafi ya yaƙe shi a filin Megiddo.
But Josiah would not pay attention to him. Instead, he disguised himself in order to be able to attack [the army of Egypt without anyone recognizing him]. He did not pay any attention to what God had told Neco to say. Instead, he [and his army] went to fight Neco’s army at the plain of Megiddo.
23 Maharba suka harbi Yosiya, sai ya ce wa hafsoshinsa, “Ku ɗauke ni ku fita da ni daga nan; gama an yi mini mummunan rauni.”
Some Egyptian archers shot King Josiah. He told his officers, “Take me away from here because I am badly wounded.”
24 Saboda haka suka ɗauke shi a keken yaƙin, suka fitar da shi, suka sa shi a wata keken yaƙin da yake da shi, suka kawo shi Urushalima, inda ya mutu. Aka binne shi a makabartar kakanninsa, sai dukan Yahuda da Urushalima suka yi makoki dominsa.
So they took him out of his chariot and put him in another chariot that he had brought with him, and they took him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs where his ancestors [had been buried], and all [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah mourned for him.
25 Annabin Irmiya ya tsara waƙoƙin makoki domin Yosiya, wanda har wa yau mawaƙa maza da mata suke rera game da Yosiya. Suka sa waɗannan su zama al’ada a Isra’ila, suna kuma a rubuce cikin Littafin Makoki.
[The prophet] Jeremiah composed a song to mourn for Josiah, and all the men and women singers in Israel still mourn for Josiah by singing that song. That became a custom in Israel; the words of that song are written in a scroll of funeral songs.
26 Sauran ayyukan mulkin Yosiya da kuma kyawawan abubuwan da ya yi, bisa ga abin da aka rubuta a Dokar Ubangiji,
A record of the other things that happened while Josiah ruled, from the time he started to rule until he died, including how he faithfully honored God by obeying everything that was written in the laws of Yahweh, is in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel and Judah’.
27 dukan ayyukan, daga farko har zuwa ƙarshe, suna a rubuce cikin littafin sarakunan Isra’ila da na Yahuda.
