1 Tokosra Josiah el oru Kufwen Alukela in acn Jerusalem in akfulatye LEUM GOD. Ke len se aksingoul akosr ke malem se meet, elos uniya kosro nu ke kufwa.
And Josiah held a passover to Jehovah in Jerusalem; and they slaughtered the passover on the fourteenth of the first month.
2 El srisrngiya mwet tol nu ke kunokon lalos ma elos in oru in Tempul, ac el akkeyalos ac fahk elos in oru ma inge in arulana wo.
And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of Jehovah.
3 El oayapa aketeya nu sin mwet Levi, su mwet luti lun mwet Israel ac su arulana eisalosyang nu sin LEUM GOD, ac fahk, “Kowos in filiya Tuptup in Wuleang mutal in Tempul se ma Tokosra Solomon, wen natul David, el musaela. Kowos in tia sifilpa usot use, a kowos in kulansupu LEUM GOD lowos, oayapa mwet Israel mwet lal.
And he said to the Levites, that taught all Israel, [and] who were holy to Jehovah, Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built; ye have not to carry it upon your shoulders. Serve now Jehovah your God, and his people Israel;
4 Kowos in oakikowosi ke acn suwos in Tempul ke ip lun sou, in oana ma kuneyuk kowos nu kac sel Tokosra David ac Tokosra Solomon, wen natul.
and prepare yourselves by your fathers' houses, in your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son;
5 Kowos orala oakwuk lowos tuh in oasr mwet su akola in kasru kais sie sou lun mwet Israel.
and stand in the sanctuary for the classes of the fathers' houses, for your brethren, the children of the people, and [according] to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the Levites;
6 Kowos pa ac uniya sheep fusr ac nani nu ke Kufwen Alukela. Inge kowos in aknasnasye kowos ac akoo mwe kisa uh, tuh mwet Israel wiowos in akfalye oakwuk su LEUM GOD El sot nu suwos sel Moses.”
and slaughter the passover, and hallow yourselves, and prepare it for your brethren, that they may do according to the word of Jehovah through Moses.
7 Tokosra Josiah el srukak tausin tolngoul ke sheep, sheep fusr, ac nani sin kosro natul sifacna, oayapa tausin tolu ke cow mukul tuh mwet uh in orekmakin nu ke Kufwen Alukela.
And Josiah gave for the children of the people a heave-offering of the flocks, lambs and goats, 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 Mwet pwapa lal elos wi pac srukak ma kunalos tuh in orekmakinyuk sin mwet uh, mwet tol, ac mwet Levi. Ac Hilkiah Mwet Tol Fulat, Zechariah, ac Jehiel, su mwet kol in Tempul, elos sang luo tausin onfoko ke sheep fusr ac nani fusr, ac tolfoko cow mukul nu sin mwet tol tuh elos in kisakin ke pacl in kufwa.
And his princes gave a voluntary heave-offering for the people, for the priests, and for the Levites: Hilkijah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the passover-offerings two thousand six hundred [small cattle] and three hundred oxen;
9 Mwet kol lun mwet Levi inge — Conaniah, Shemaiah, Nethanel (su tamulel lal Shemaiah), Hashabiah, Jeiel, ac Jozabad — elos srukak tausin limekosr ke sheep fusr ac nani fusr, ac lumfoko cow mukul nu sin mwet Levi, tuh in mwe kisa lalos.
and Conaniah, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave as heave-offering to the Levites for the passover-offerings five thousand [small cattle] and five hundred oxen.
10 Ke ma nukewa akola tari nu ke Kufwen Alukela, mwet tol ac mwet Levi elos tu yen selos, oana ma tokosra el sapkin.
And the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their divisions, according to the king's commandment.
11 Tukun sheep fusr ac nani uh anwuki, mwet Levi elos sukela, ac mwet tol elos sang srah kac osrela loang sac.
And they slaughtered the passover, and the priests sprinkled [the blood] from their hand, and the Levites flayed them.
12 Na elos kitalik kosro ma ac kisakinyuk in mwe kisa firir, ac sang nu sin kais sie sou, tuh elos in ku in orek kisa fal nu ke ma oakwuk in Ma Sap lal Moses.
And they set apart the burnt-offerings to give them to the classes of the fathers' houses of the children of the people, to present them to Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so [did they] with the oxen.
13 Mwet Levi elos munanla mwe kisa lun Kufwen Alukela inge fin e uh, fal nu ke oakwuk nu kac, ac poeleak mwe sang mutal in tup lulap, tup osra, ac pan, na elos sulaklak ac kitalik nu sin mwet uh.
And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance; and the consecrated things they boiled in pots and in cauldrons and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the children of the people.
14 Tukun ma inge orekla, mwet Levi elos srukak ikwa nu selos sifacna oayapa mwet tol su ma natul Aaron, mweyen mwet tol uh kafofo nwe ke fongeni ke fureak kosro ma ac fonna firiryak, ac kiris ke ma kisala.
And afterwards they made ready for themselves and for the priests; because the priests, the sons of Aaron, [were engaged] in offering up the burnt-offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.
15 Mwet on lun mwet Levi inge in sou lal Asaph, elos tu ke acn srisrngiyuki nu selos sel Tokosra David: Asaph, Heman, ac Jeduthun mwet liaten lun tokosra. Mwet topang mutunpot lun Tempul elos tia enenu in som liki acn elos tu we, mweyen mwet Levi saya elos aolulos in akoo Kufwen Alukela.
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 doorkeepers were at every gate; they had not to depart from their service, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
16 Ouinge orekla ma nukewa ma Tokosra Josiah el sapkin ke len sac, nu ke alu nu sin LEUM GOD, nwe ke akfulatye Kufwen Alukela, ac nu ke kisakin mwe kisa firir fin loang uh.
And all the service of Jehovah was prepared the same day, to hold the passover, and to offer burnt-offerings on the altar of Jehovah according to the commandment of king Josiah.
17 Mwet Israel nukewa su oasr we elos akfulatye Kufwen Alukela ac Kufwen Bread Tia Akpulol ke len itkosr.
And the children of Israel that were present held the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
18 Tufahna akfulatyeyuk Kufwen Alukela ouinge oe ke pacl lal Samuel mwet palu me. Wangin sie tokosra oemeet me akfulatye Kufwen Alukela oana ma se ma akfulatyeyuk inge in pacl lal Tokosra Josiah, wi mwet tol, mwet Levi, mwet Judah, mwet Israel, ac mwet Jerusalem,
And there was no passover like to that holden in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel hold such a passover as Josiah held, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 ke yac se aksingoul oalkosr ma Josiah el leum.
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover holden.
20 Tukun Tokosra Josiah el orala ma inge nukewa nu ke Tempul, Tokosra Neco lun Egypt el us mwet mweun lal in mweuni acn Carchemish sisken Infacl Euphrates. Josiah el srike in tulokunul,
After all this, when Josiah had arranged the house, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Karkemish at the Euphrates; and Josiah went out against him.
21 tuh Neco el supwala kas inge nu sel, “Mweun se nga oru inge tia ma nu sum, Tokosra lun Judah. Nga tia tuku in mweuni kom, a in mweuni mwet lokoalok luk, ac God El fahk nu sik nga in sulaklak. God El wiyu, na pa kom in tia tulokinyu, tuh Elan tia kunauskomla.”
And he sent messengers to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house with which I have war; and God has told me to make haste: keep aloof from God who is with me, that he destroy thee not.
22 Tusruktu ku na sel Josiah mu el ac mweun. El srunga lohng ma God El fahk nu sel Tokosra Neco, na el ekulla lumahl ac som mweun ke acn tupasrpasr in acn Megiddo.
But Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight against him; and he hearkened not to the words of Necho from the mouth of God; and he came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
23 In mweun sac, pisr nutin mwet mweun lun Egypt faksilya Tokosra Josiah, na el fahk nu sin mwet kulansap lal ah, “Usyula. Nga arulana kineta!”
And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away, for I am sore wounded.
24 Elos sraklalla liki chariot natul ah, eisalang nu fin chariot soko pac natul ma oan we, ac usalla nu Jerusalem. El misa we ac pukpuki ke inkulyuk lun mwet leum. Mwet Judah ac Jerusalem nukewa eoksra ke misa lal ah.
And his servants took him out from 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 sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
25 Jeremiah, mwet palu, el orala on in eoksra soko lal kacl Tokosra Josiah. Na mwet Israel elos oakiya tuh in sie lia lalos tuh mwet on, mukul ac mutan, in alullulkin on soko inge ke elos eoksra kacl Josiah. On soko inge ku in koneyukyak inmasrlon ma simla nu ke eoksra.
And 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 for Israel. And behold, they are written in the lamentations.
26 Ma nukewa ma Josiah el orala, ke moul in kulansap wowo lal nu sin LEUM GOD, ac ke akosten lal ke Ma Sap,
And the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of Jehovah,
27 ac srumunyal, mutawauk nwe ke safla, simla ke [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Israel Ac Judah.]
and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
