Otra Laiku 35
1 Un Josija Tam Kungam noturēja Pasa svētkus Jeruzālemē, un tie nokāva to Pasa pirmā mēneša četrpadsmitā dienā.
Josiah [commanded that the people should] celebrate the Passover Festival to honor Yahweh in Jerusalem. So they slaughtered the lambs for the Passover [Festival] at the end of March.
2 Un viņš iecēla priesterus, ikvienu savā vietā, un tos iedrošināja pie Tā Kunga nama kalpošanas.
Josiah assigned to the priests the tasks that they should perform at the temple and encouraged them to do their work well.
3 Un viņš sacīja uz tiem levitiem, kas visu Israēli mācīja, kas bija svētīti Tam Kungam: noliekat to svēto šķirstu tai namā, ko Salamans, Dāvida dēls, Israēla ķēniņš, ir uzcēlis; tas jums vairs nav jānes uz kamiešiem. Tad nu kalpojiet Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, un Viņa Israēla ļaudīm,
The [other] descendants of Levi were the ones who taught all the Israeli people; they had been dedicated to serve Yahweh. Josiah said to them, “Put the Sacred Chest in the temple that [the workers of] David’s son [King] Solomon of Israel built. But [carry it on poles; ] do not carry it on your shoulders. And do your your work well for Yahweh your God and for his Israeli people.
4 Un esat gatavi pēc savu tēvu namiem, pēc savām kārtām, kā Dāvids, Israēla ķēniņš, to uzrakstījis, un kā Salamans, viņa dēls, arī uzrakstījis.
Divide yourselves into clans, obeying the instructions that King David and his son Solomon wrote.
5 Un stāviet svētā vietā pēc tēvu namu kārtām par saviem brāļiem, tiem ļaužu bērniem, un pēc levitu tēvu namu kārtām,
Then stand in the temple, with one group of the descendants of Levi to help each clan of the people [when they bring their offerings to the temple].
6 Un kaujiet to Pasa un svētījaties un sataisiet to saviem brāļiem, darīdami pēc Tā Kunga vārda caur Mozu.
Slaughter the lambs for the Passover [Festival]. Perform the rituals to cause yourselves to be acceptable to Yahweh for doing this work. Prepare the sacrifices, doing what Yahweh told Moses to tell you that you should do.”
7 Un Josija deva tiem ļaudīm no sīkiem lopiem jērus un kazlēnus, tos visus par Pasa upuriem, visiem, kas tur atradās, trīsdesmit tūkstošus, un trīs tūkstošus vēršus; tas bija no ķēniņa mantas.
Josiah provided [from his own flocks and herds] 30,000 sheep and goats for the Passover sacrifices.
8 Arī viņa lielkungi deva labprātības upurus tiem ļaudīm, priesteriem un levitiem: Hilķija un Zaharija un Jeīels, Dieva nama virsnieki, deva priesteriem uz Pasa svētkiem divtūkstoš sešsimt jērus un trīssimt vēršus.
His officials also voluntarily contributed animals for the people and the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the officials who were in charge of the temple, gave to the priests 2,600 lambs and 300 cattle to be sacrifices for the Passover.
9 Un Kananija un Šemaja un Netaneēls, viņa brāļi, Hašabija un Jeīels un Jozabads, levitu virsnieki, deva levitiem uz Pasa svētkiem piectūkstoš jērus un piecsimt vēršus.
And Conaniah along with his [younger] brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the leaders of the [other] descendants of Levi, provided 5,000 lambs and 500 cattle for the other descendants of Levi, to be sacrifices for the Passover.
10 Tā Dieva kalpošana tapa ierīkota, un priesteri stāvēja savā vietā un leviti pēc savām kārtām, pēc ķēniņa pavēles.
Everything [for the Passover] was arranged: The priests and the other descendants of Levi stood in their places in their groups, like the king had commanded.
11 Un tie kāva to Pasa, un priesteri slacināja asinis no savām rokām, un leviti noplēsa ādas.
Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs. The priests sprinkled the blood [from the bowls] that were handed to them, while the [other] descendants of Levi removed the skins from the animals.
12 Un tie atšķīra dedzināmos upurus, ka tos izdalītu ļaužu tēvu namu kārtām, Tam Kungam upurēt, kā Mozus grāmatā rakstīts. Tāpat arī darīja ar vēršiem.
They set aside the animals to be completely burned on the altar, in order to give them to the various family groups to offer to Yahweh, obeying the instructions that were written in the laws God gave Moses. They did the same thing with the cattle.
13 Un tie cepa to Pasa pie uguns pēc likuma, bet svētos gabalus tie vārīja podos un katlos un pannās un steigšus to nesa visiem ļaudīm.
Obeying those regulations, they roasted the lambs for the Passover over the fire. And they boiled the [meat of the] sacred offerings in pots and kettles and pans, and served the meat immediately to all the people [who were there].
14 Pēc tam tie arī sev sataisīja un priesteriem. Jo priesteri, Ārona dēli, upurēja līdz pašai naktij dedzināmos upurus un taukus, tādēļ leviti sataisīja priekš sevis un priekš priesteriem, Ārona dēliem.
After that, they prepared meat for themselves and for the priests, because the priests were busy until nighttime, sacrificing the offerings to be completely burned and burning the fat parts of the offerings. So the [other] descendants of Levi prepared meat for themselves and for the priests, who were descendants of Aaron, [the first Supreme Priest].
15 Un tie dziedātāji, Asafa dēli, stāvēja savās vietās, tā kā Dāvids un Asafs un Hemans un Jedutuns, ķēniņa redzētājs, pavēlējuši, arī vārtu sargi pie ikkatriem vārtiem. Un tiem nevajadzēja atkāpties no sava darba, bet viņu brāļi, tie leviti, to sataisīja priekš viņiem.
The musicians, who were descendants of Asaph, stood in their places, as King David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s prophet had commanded. The men who guarded the gates [of the temple] did not need to leave their places, because their fellow descendants of Levi prepared food for them to eat.
16 Tā visa Tā Kunga kalpošana tai dienā tapa izdarīta, Pasa svētki tika noturēti un tie dedzināmie upuri upurēti uz Tā Kunga altāra, kā ķēniņš Josija to bija pavēlējis.
So on that day everything that needed to done for worshiping Yahweh was done. They celebrated the Passover [Festival], and they presented offerings to be completely burned on the altar, which was what Josiah had commanded.
17 Un Israēla bērni, kas tur atradās, turēja tai laikā Pasa svētkus un neraudzētās maizes svētkus septiņas dienas.
The Israelis who were there celebrated the Passover [Festival] on that day, and for seven days they celebrated the Festival of [Eating] Unleavened Bread.
18 Tādi Pasa svētki iekš Israēla vēl nebija turēti no pravieša Samuēla laika, un neviens no Israēla ķēniņiem nebija turējis tādus Pasa svētkus, kā Josija turēja ar priesteriem un levitiem un ar visu Jūdu un Israēli, cik tur atradās, un ar Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājiem.
The Passover [Festival] had not been celebrated like that in Israel since the time that the prophet Samuel lived. None of the other kings of Israel had ever celebrated the Passover like Josiah did, along with the priests, the other descendants of Levi, and all [the other people of] Judah and Israel who were there with the people who lived in Jerusalem.
19 Josijas valdīšanas astoņpadsmitā gadā šie Pasa svētki tapa turēti.
They celebrated this Passover Festival when Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years.
20 Pēc visa tā, kad Josija to namu bija uzkopis, tad Nekus, Ēģiptes ķēniņš, nāca karot pret Karķemisu pie Eifrat upes. Un Josija tam izgāja pretī.
After Josiah had done all those things to [restore the worship at] the temple, King Neco of Egypt went [with his army] to attack Carchemish [city] alongside the Euphrates [River], and Josiah marched [with his army] to fight against them.
21 Bet viņš sūtīja vēstnešus pie tā un sacīja: kas man ar tevi, Jūda ķēniņ? Es šodien pret tevi neesmu nācis, bet pret kādu namu, kas karo pret mani, un Dievs ir sacījis, ka man būs steigties; nepretojies tu Dievam, kas ir ar mani, lai tas tevi nesamaitā.
Neco sent some messengers to Josiah, to tell him, “You are the king of Judah, and there is certainly no quarrel between you and me. My army is not attacking you people; we are attacking another army, [the army of Babylonia]. God has told me to hurry. So stop opposing God, who is for me. If you do not stop, God will get rid of you.”
22 Bet Josija nenovērsās no tā, bet sataisījās ar viņu karot, un viņš neklausīja Nekus vārdiem no Dieva mutes un nāca, ar viņu kauties Meģidus ielejā.
But Josiah would not pay attention to him. Instead, he disguised himself in order to be able to attack [the army of Egypt without anyone recognizing him]. He did not pay any attention to what God had told Neco to say. Instead, he [and his army] went to fight Neco’s army at the plain of Megiddo.
23 Bet strēlnieki šāva uz ķēniņu Josiju, un ķēniņš sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: vediet mani projām, jo es esmu ļoti ievainots.
Some Egyptian archers shot King Josiah. He told his officers, “Take me away from here because I am badly wounded.”
24 Tad viņa kalpi to nocēla no ratiem un noveda uz viņa otriem ratiem, un to noveda Jeruzālemē. Un tas nomira un tapa aprakts savu tēvu kapos, un visa Jūda valsts un Jeruzāleme žēlojās par Josiju.
So they took him out of his chariot and put him in another chariot that he had brought with him, and they took him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs where his ancestors [had been buried], and all [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah mourned for him.
25 Un Jeremija taisīja vienu raudu dziesmu par Josiju, un visi dziedātāji un dziedātājas runāja savās raudu dziesmās par Josiju līdz šai dienai, un to iestādīja par likumu iekš Israēla; un redzi, tās ir rakstītas raudu dziesmās.
[The prophet] Jeremiah composed a song to mourn for Josiah, and all the men and women singers in Israel still mourn for Josiah by singing that song. That became a custom in Israel; the words of that song are written in a scroll of funeral songs.
26 Un kas vēl par Josiju stāstāms, un viņa dievbijība pēc Tā Kunga bauslības,
A record of the other things that happened while Josiah ruled, from the time he started to rule until he died, including how he faithfully honored God by obeying everything that was written in the laws of Yahweh, is in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel and Judah’.
27 Arī viņa pirmās un pēdējās lietas, redzi, tās rakstītas Israēla un Jūda ķēniņu grāmatā.
