Ii Paralipomenon 35

1 Fecit autem Iosias in Ierusalem Phase Domino, quod immolatum est quartadecima die mensis primi:

And Josiah maketh in Jerusalem a passover to Jehovah, and they slaughter the passover-offering on the fourteenth of the first month,

2 et constituit Sacerdotes in officiis suis, hortatusque est eos ut ministrarent in domo Domini.

and he stationeth the priests over their charges, and strengtheneth them for the service of the house of Jehovah,

3 Levitis quoque, ad quorum eruditionem omnis Israel sanctificabatur Domino, locutus est: Ponite arcam in sanctuario templi, quod aedificavit Salomon filius David rex Israel, nequaquam enim eam ultra portabitis: nunc autem ministrate Domino Deo vestro, et populo eius Israel.

and saith to the Levites — who are teaching all Israel — who are sanctified to Jehovah, 'Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon son of David king of Israel built; it is not to you a burden on the shoulder. 'Now, serve Jehovah your God, and His people Israel,

4 Et praeparate vos per domos, et cognationes vestras in divisionibus singulorum, sicut praecepit David rex Israel, et descripsit Salomon filius eius.

and prepare, by the house of your fathers, according to your courses, by the writing of David king of Israel, and by the writing of Solomon his son,

5 Et ministrate in sanctuario per familias turmasque Leviticas,

and stand in the sanctuary, by the divisions of the house of the fathers of your brethren, sons of the people, and the portion of the house of a father of the Levites,

6 et sanctificati immolate Phase: fratres etiam vestros, ut possint iuxta verba, quae locutus est Dominus in manu Moysi facere, praeparate.

and slaughter the passover-offering and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, to do according to the word of Jehovah by the hand of Moses.'

7 Dedit praeterea Iosias omni populo, qui ibi fuerat inventus in sollemnitate Phase, agnos et hoedos de gregibus, et reliqui pecoris triginta millia, boum quoque tria millia. haec de regis universa substantia.

And Josiah lifteth up to the sons of the people a flock of lambs and young goats, the whole for passover-offerings, for every one who is found, to the number of thirty thousand, and oxen three thousand: these [are] from the substance of the king.

8 Duces quoque eius, sponte quod voverant, obtulerunt, tam populo, quam Sacerdotibus et Levitis. Porro Helcias, et Zacharias, et Iahiel principes domus Domini, dederunt sacerdotibus ad faciendum Phase pecora commixtim duo millia sexcenta, et boves trecentos.

And his heads, for a willing-offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites, have lifted up; Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Jehiel, leaders in the house of God, to the priests have given for passover-offerings two thousand and six hundred, and oxen three hundred;

9 Chonenias autem, et Semeias, etiam Nathanael et fratres eius, necnon Hasabias, et Iehiel, et Iosabad principes Levitarum, dederunt ceteris Levitis ad celebrandum Phase quinque millia pecorum, et boves quingentos.

and Conaniah, and Shemaiah, and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah, and Jeiel, and Jozabad, heads of the Levites, have lifted up to the Levites, for passover-offerings, five thousand, and oxen five hundred.

10 Praeparatumque est ministerium, et steterunt Sacerdotes in officio suo: Levitae quoque in turmis, iuxta regis imperium.

And the service is prepared, and the priests stand on their station, and the Levites on their courses, according to the command of the king,

11 Et immolatum est Phase: asperseruntque Sacerdotes manu sua sanguinem, et Levitae detraxerunt pelles holocaustorum:

and they slaughter the passover-offering, and the priests sprinkle out of their hand, and the Levites are striping;

12 et separaverunt ea ut darent per domos et familias singulorum, et offerrentur Domino, sicut scriptum est in Libro Moysi: de bobus quoque fecerunt similiter.

and they turn aside the burnt-offering, to put them by the divisions of the house of the fathers of the sons of the people, to bring near to Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses — and so to the oxen.

13 Et assaverunt Phase super ignem, iuxta quod in lege scriptum est: pacificas vero hostias coxerunt in lebetibus, et cacabis, et ollis, et festinato distribuerunt universae plebi:

And they cook the passover with fire, according to the ordinance, and the sanctified things they have cooked in pots, and in kettles, and in pans — for all the sons of the people.

14 sibi autem, et Sacerdotibus postea paraverunt: nam in oblatione holocaustorum et adipum usque ad noctem Sacerdotes fuerunt occupati: unde Levitae sibi, et Sacerdotibus filiis Aaron paraverunt novissimis.

And afterward they have prepared for themselves, and for the priests: for the priests, sons of Aaron, [are] in the offering up of the burnt-offering and of the fat till night; and the Levites have prepared for themselves, and for the priests, sons of Aaron.

15 Porro cantores filii Asaph stabant in ordine suo, iuxta praeceptum David, et Asaph, et Heman, et Idithun prophetarum regis: Ianitores vero per portas singulas observabant, ita ut nec puncto quidem discederent a ministerio: quam ob rem et fratres eorum Levitae paraverunt eis cibos.

And the singers, sons of Asaph, [are] on their station, according to the command of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun seer of the king, and the gate keepers [are] at gate and gate; it is not for them to turn aside from off their service, for their brethren the Levites have prepared for them.

16 Omnis igitur cultura Domini rite completa est in die illa ut facerent Phase, et offerrent holocausta super altare Domini, iuxta praeceptum regis Iosiae.

And all the service of Jehovah is prepared on that day, to keep the passover, and to cause to ascend burnt-offering upon the altar of Jehovah, according to the command of king Josiah.

17 Feceruntque filii Israel, qui reperti fuerant ibi, Phase in tempore illo, et sollemnitatem azymorum septem diebus.

And the sons of Israel who are found make the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened things, seven days.

18 Non fuit Phase simile huic in Israel a diebus Samuelis prophetae: sed nec quisquam de cunctis regibus Israel fecit Phase sicut Iosias, Sacerdotibus, et Levitis, et omni Iuda, et Israel qui repertus fuerat, et habitantibus in Ierusalem.

And there hath not been made a passover like it in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet, and none of the kings of Israel made such a passover as Josiah hath made, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who are found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

19 Octavodecimo anno regni Iosiae hoc Phase celebratum est.

In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah hath this passover been made.

20 Postquam instauraverat Iosias templum, ascendit Nechao rex Aegypti ad pugnandum in Charcamis iuxta Euphraten: et processit in occursum eius Iosias.

After all this, when Josiah hath prepared the house, come up hath Necho king of Egypt, to fight against Carchemish by Phrat, and Josiah goeth forth to meet him;

21 At ille, missis ad eum nunciis, ait: Quid mihi et tibi est rex Iuda? non adversum te hodie venio, sed contra aliam pugno domum, ad quam me Deus festinato ire praecepit: desine adversum Deum facere, qui mecum est, ne interficiat te.

and he sendeth unto him messengers, saying, 'What — to me and to thee, O king of Judah? not against thee do I come to-day, but unto the house with which I have war, and God said to haste me; cease for thee from God who [is] with me, and He doth not destroy thee.'

22 Noluit Iosias reverti, sed praeparavit contra eum bellum, nec acquievit sermonibus Nechao ex ore Dei: verum perrexit ut dimicaret in campo Mageddo.

And Josiah hath not turned round his face from him, but to fight against him hath disguised himself, and hath not hearkened unto the words of Necho, from the mouth of God, and cometh in to fight in the valley of Megiddo;

23 Ibique vulneratus a sagittariis, dixit pueris suis: Educite me de praelio, quia oppido vulneratus sum.

and the archers shoot at king Josiah, and the king saith to his servants, 'Remove me, for I have become very sick.'

24 Qui transtulerunt eum de curru in alterum currum, qui sequebatur eum more regio, et asportaverunt eum in Ierusalem, mortuusque est, et sepultus in mausoleo patrum suorum: et universus Iuda et Ierusalem luxerunt eum.

And his servants remove him from the chariot, and cause him to ride on the second chariot that he hath, and cause him to go to Jerusalem, and he dieth, and is buried in the graves of his fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem are mourning for Josiah,

25 Ieremias maxime: cuius omnes cantores atque cantatrices, usque in praesentem diem lamentationes super Iosiam replicant, et quasi lex obtinuit in Israel: Ecce scriptum fertur in lamentationibus.

and Jeremiah lamenteth for Josiah, and all the singers and the songstresses speak in their lamentations of Josiah unto this day, and set them for a statute on Israel, and lo, they are written beside the lamentations.

26 Reliqua autem sermonum Iosiae et misericordiarum eius: quae lege praecepta sunt Domini:

And the rest of the matters of Josiah, and his kind acts, according as it is written in the law of Jehovah,

27 opera quoque illius prima et novissima, scripta sunt in Libro regum Iuda et Israel.

even his matters, the first and the last, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
