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.
Josiah kept a Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the Passover lamb 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.
He set the cohanim in their offices, and encouraged them to 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.
He said to the Levites who taught all Israel, who were holy to the LORD, "Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built. There shall no more be a burden on 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.
Prepare yourselves after your fathers' houses and by 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.
Stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers' houses of your brothers the lay people, and let there be for each a portion of a fathers' house 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.”
Kill the Passover lamb, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the word of the LORD by 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.
Josiah gave to the lay people, of the flock, lambs and young goats, all of them for the Passover offerings, to all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls: 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 officials gave for a freewill offering to the people, to the cohanim, and to the Levites; and Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of God's house, gave to the cohanim for the Passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small livestock, and three hundred head of cattle.
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.
Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small livestock, and five hundred head of cattle.
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 prepared, and the cohanim stood in their place, and the Levites by 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.
They killed the Passover lamb, and the cohanim 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.
They removed the burnt offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the lay people, to offer to the LORD, as it is written in the scroll of Moses. So they did with the cattle.
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.
They roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance: and the holy offerings boiled they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the lay 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.
Afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the cohanim, because the cohanim the descendants of Aaron were busy with offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night: therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the cohanim the descendants 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.
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 gatekeepers were at every gate: they did not need to depart from their service; for their brothers 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 all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover, and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD, 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.
The children of Israel who were present kept 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,
There was no Passover like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did any of the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept, and the cohanim, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who 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 kept.
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 prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Perath: 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 you, you king of Judah? I come not against you this day, but against the house with which I have war. God has commanded me to make haste. Beware that it is God who is with me, that he not destroy you."
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 Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and 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!”
The archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, "Take me away, because I am seriously 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.
So his servants took him out of 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 tombs of his fathers. 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.
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 in Israel: and look, 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,
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which 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, first and last, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
