Luo Chronicle 35

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 kept in Jerusalem the passover unto the Lord: and they slaughtered the passover-sacrifice on the fourteenth day 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 placed the priests in their charges, and strengthened them for the service of the house of the Lord.

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 unto the Levites that instructed all Israel, who were holy unto the Lord, Set the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David the king of Israel did build; you have not to carry it any more upon your shoulders; now serve the Lord 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 family divisions, according to your courses, after the written order of David the king of Israel, and after the written order 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 holy place according to the divisions of the family divisions of your brethren the sons of the people, and after the division of the families 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-sacrifice, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare it for your brethren, to do according to the word of the Lord by the hand of 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 set apart for the sons of the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover-sacrifices, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and of steers three thousand: these were of the king's property.

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 set apart [much] as a freewill gift for the people for the priests, and for the Levites: Chilkiyah, and Zecharyahu, and Jechiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover-sacrifices two thousand and six hundred [lambs and kids], and three hundred steers.

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 Conanyahu, and Shema'yahu and Nethanel, his brothers, and Chashabyahu and Je'iel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, set apart unto the Levites for passover-sacrifices five thousand [lambs and kids], and five hundred steers.

10 Ke ma nukewa akola tari nu ke Kufwen Alukela, mwet tol ac mwet Levi elos tu yen selos, oana ma tokosra el sapkin.

So the service was established, and the priests stood on their station, and the Levites in their divisions, according to the king's command.

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-sacrifice, and the priests sprinkled [the blood received] from their hands, and the Levites did the flaying.

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 removed the burnt-offerings to give them to the divisions of the family divisions of the sons of the people, to offer [them] unto the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the steers.

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 by the fire in accordance with the prescribed manner; but the holy offerings they seethed in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the sons 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 afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests; because the priests the sons of Aaron [were busied] in offering 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 Assaph were on their station, according to the command of David, and Assaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the gatekeepers were at every gate: they had no need to depart from their service; because 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.

So was established all the service of the Lord on the same day, to prepare the passover-sacrifice, and to offer burnt-offerings upon the altar of the Lord, according to the command 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 prepared the passover-sacrifice at that time, and [kept] 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 not holden any passover like this in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; and all the kings of Israel did not keep such a passover as Josiah kept, with 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 restored the temple, came up Necho the king of Egypt to fight against Karkemish by 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.”

But he sent ambassadors 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 wherewith I have war, and God hath commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God who is with me, that he may not destroy thee.

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.

Nevertheless did Josiah not turn his face away from him, but disguised himself, to fight with him, and hearkened not unto 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, Carry me away: for I am sorely 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 carried him away out of that chariot, and conveyed him in the second chariot that he had: and they 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 the singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and they instituted them as a custom in 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 pious deeds, in accordance with what is written in the law of the Lord,

27 ac srumunyal, mutawauk nwe ke safla, simla ke [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Israel Ac Judah.]

And his acts, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
