< Ii Paralipomenon 35 >
1 fecit autem Iosias in Hierusalem phase Domino quod immolatum est quartadecima die mensis primi
Josiah kept a Passover to Yahweh in Jerusalem, and they killed the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 et constituit sacerdotes in officiis suis hortatusque est eos ut ministrarent in domo Domini
He placed the priests in their positions and encouraged them in the service of the house of Yahweh.
3 Levitis quoque ad quorum eruditionem omnis Israhel sanctificabatur Domino locutus est ponite arcam in sanctuario templi quod aedificavit Salomon filius David rex Israhel nequaquam enim eam ultra portabitis nunc autem ministrate Domino Deo vestro et populo eius Israhel
He said to the Levites who taught all Israel and who were set apart to Yahweh, “Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon son of David, king of Israel built. Do not carry it around on your shoulders any longer. Now worship Yahweh your God, and serve his people Israel.
4 et praeparate vos per domos et cognationes vestras in divisionibus singulorum sicut praecepit David rex Israhel et descripsit Salomon filius eius
Organize yourselves by the name of your ancestral houses and your divisions, following the written instructions of David, king of Israel, and those of Solomon, his son.
5 ministrate in sanctuario per familias turmasque leviticas
Stand in the holy place, taking your position with your divisions within the ancestral houses of your brothers, the descendants of the people, and taking your places with your divisions within the ancestral houses of the Levites.
6 et sanctificati immolate phase fratres etiam vestros ut possint iuxta verba quae locutus est Dominus in manu Mosi facere praeparate
Kill the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves, prepare the lambs for your brothers, to do according to the word of Yahweh that was given by the hand of Moses.”
7 dedit praeterea Iosias omni populo qui ibi fuerat inventus in sollemnitatem phase agnos et hedos de gregibus et reliqui pecoris triginta milia boumque tria milia haec de regis universa substantia
Josiah gave to all the people thirty thousand lambs and kids from flocks for the Passover offerings to all who were present. He also gave three thousand bulls; these were from the king's possessions.
8 duces quoque eius sponte quod voluerant obtulerunt tam populo quam sacerdotibus et Levitis porro Helcias et Zaccharias et Iehihel principes domus Domini dederunt sacerdotibus ad faciendum phase pecora commixtim duo milia sescenta et boves trecentos
His leaders gave a free will offering to the people, priests, and Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the officials in charge of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings 2,600 small cattle and three hundred oxen.
9 Chonenias autem Semeias etiam et Nathanahel fratres eius necnon Asabias et Iahihel et Iozabath principes Levitarum dederunt ceteris Levitis ad celebrandum phase quinque milia pecorum et boves quingentos
Also Konaniah, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small cattle and five hundred oxen.
10 praeparatumque est ministerium et steterunt sacerdotes in officio suo Levitae quoque in turmis iuxta regis imperium
So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their places, with the Levites by their divisions, in response to the king's command.
11 et immolatum est phase asperseruntque sacerdotes manu sua sanguinem et Levitae detraxerunt pelles holocaustorum
They killed the Passover lambs, and the priests sprinkled the blood that they received from the Levites' hand, and the Levites skinned the lambs.
12 et separaverunt ea ut darent per domos et familias singulorum et offerrentur Domino sicut scriptum est in libro Mosi de bubus quoque fecere similiter
They removed the burnt offerings, in order to distribute them to the divisions of the ancestral houses of the people, to offer them to Yahweh, as it is written in the Book of Moses. They did the same with the bulls.
13 et assaverunt phase super ignem iuxta quod lege praeceptum est pacificas vero hostias coxerunt in lebetis et caccabis et ollis et festinato distribuerunt universae plebi
They roasted the Passover lambs with fire following the instructions. As for the consecrated offerings, they boiled them in pots, cauldrons, and pans, and they quickly carried them to all the people.
14 sibi autem et sacerdotibus postea paraverunt nam in oblatione holocaustorum et adipum usque ad noctem sacerdotes fuerant occupati unde Levitae et sibi et sacerdotibus filiis Aaron paraverunt novissimis
They later prepared offerings for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were occupied in offering the burnt offerings and the fat until nightfall, so the Levites prepared the offerings for themselves and for the priests, the descendants 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 ne puncto quidem discederent a ministerio quam ob rem et fratres eorum Levitae paraverunt eis cibos
The singers, the descendants of Asaph, were in their place, as directed by David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer, and the guards were at every gate. They did not have to leave their post, because their brothers the Levites made preparations for them.
16 omnis igitur cultura Domini rite conpleta est in die illa ut facerent phase et offerrent holocausta super altare Domini iuxta praeceptum regis Iosiae
So, at that time the entire service of Yahweh was carried out for the celebration of the Passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of Yahweh, as King Josiah commanded.
17 feceruntque filii Israhel qui repperti fuerant ibi phase in tempore illo et sollemnitatem azymorum septem diebus
The people of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and then the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days.
18 non fuit phase simile huic in Israhel a diebus Samuhelis prophetae sed nec quisquam de cunctis regibus Israhel fecit phase sicut Iosias sacerdotibus et Levitis et omni Iuda et Israhel qui reppertus fuerat et habitantibus in Hierusalem
Such a Passover celebration had never been held in Israel from the days of the prophet Samuel, nor had any of the other kings of Israel ever celebrated such a Passover as Josiah did, along with the priests, Levites, and all the people of Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 octavodecimo anno regni Iosiae hoc phase celebratum est
This Passover was kept in the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah.
20 postquam instauraverat Iosias templum ascendit Nechao rex Aegypti ad pugnandum in Charchamis iuxta Eufraten et processit in occursum eius Iosias
After all this, after Josiah had set the temple in order, Necho, king of Egypt, went up to fight against Carchemish at the Euphrates River, and Josiah went to fight against him.
21 at ille missis ad eum nuntiis 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
But Necho sent ambassadors to him, saying, “What have I to do with you, king of Judah? I am not coming against you today, but against the house with which I am making war. God has commanded me to hurry, so refrain from interfering with God, who is with me, or he might destroy you.”
22 noluit Iosias reverti sed praeparavit contra eum bellum nec adquievit sermonibus Nechao ex ore Dei verum perrexit ut dimicaret in campo Mageddo
However, Josiah refused to turn away from him. He disguised himself in order to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Necho that had come from the mouth of God; so he went to fight in the Valley of Megiddo.
23 ibique vulneratus a sagittariis dixit pueris suis educite me de proelio quia oppido vulneratus sum
Archers shot King Josiah, and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am badly wounded.”
24 qui transtulerunt eum de curru in alterum currum qui sequebatur eum more regio et asportaverunt in Hierusalem mortuusque est et sepultus in mausoleo patrum suorum et universus Iuda et Hierusalem luxerunt eum
So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in his extra chariot. They took him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs of his ancestors. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
25 Hieremias maxime cuius omnes cantores atque cantrices usque in praesentem diem lamentationes super Iosia replicant et quasi lex obtinuit in Israhel ecce scriptum fertur in Lamentationibus
Jeremiah lamented for Josiah; all the male and female singers lament about Josiah to this day. These songs became customary in Israel; behold, they are written in the songs of lament.
26 reliqua autem sermonum Iosiae et misericordiarum eius quae lege praecepta sunt Domini
As for the other matters concerning Josiah, and his good deeds done in obedience to what is written in the law of Yahweh—
27 opera quoque illius prima et novissima scripta sunt in libro regum Israhel et Iuda
and his deeds, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
