2 Ebyomumirembe 35
1 Awo Yosiya n’akwata Embaga ey’Okuyitako mu Yerusaalemi, era ne batta omwana gw’endiga, ogw’Embaga ey’Okuyitako ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye.
Moreouer Iosiah kept a Passeouer vnto the Lord in Ierusalem, and they slewe the Passeouer in the fourtenth day of the first moneth.
2 N’alonda bakabona mu bifo eby’obuvunaanyizibwa bwabwe, n’abakuutira mu kuweereza kwabwe mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
And he appointed the Priestes to their charges, and incouraged them to the seruice of the house of the Lord,
3 N’agamba Abaleevi abaayigirizanga Isirayiri yenna, era abaali abawonge eri Mukama nti, “Muteeke essanduuko entukuvu mu yeekaalu ya Sulemaani mutabani wa Dawudi, kabaka wa Isirayiri, gye yazimba. Si yaakwetikkanga ku bibegabega byammwe. Kaakano muweereze Mukama Katonda wammwe n’abantu be Isirayiri,
And he sayd vnto the Leuites that taught all Israel and were sanctified vnto the Lord, Put the holy Arke in the house which Salomon the sonne of Dauid King of Israel did build: it shalbe no more a burden vpon your shoulders: serue now the Lord your God and his people Israel,
4 mweteeketeeke ng’ennyumba za bajjajjammwe bwe ziri mu masiga gammwe, nga mugoberera ebiragiro Dawudi kabaka wa Isirayiri ne Sulemaani mutabani we bye yawandiika.
And prepare your selues by the houses of your fathers according to your courses, as Dauid the King of Israel hath written, and according to the writing of Salomon his sonne,
5 “Muyimirire awatukuvu mu bibinja eby’Abaleevi eby’ennyumba za bajjajjammwe eza baganda bammwe abantu abaabulijjo.
And stande in the Sanctuarie according to the deuision of the families of your brethren the children of the people, and after the deuision of the familie of the Leuites:
6 Mutte ennyana n’abaana b’endiga ab’Embaga ey’Okuyitako, mwetukuze, muteekereteekere baganda bammwe, nga mugoberera ebyo Mukama bye yalagira ng’ayita mu Musa.”
So kill the Passeouer and sanctifie your selues, and prepare your brethren that they may doe according to the worde of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
7 Yosiya n’agabira abantu abaabulijjo bonna abaaliwo endiga n’embuzi emitwalo esatu okuba ebiweebwayo olw’Embaga ey’Okuyitako, n’ente enkumi ssatu okuva mu byobugagga bwe.
Iosiah also gaue to the people sheepe, lambs and kiddes, all for the Passeouer, euen to all that were present, to the nomber of thirtie thousand, and three thousande bullocks: these were of the Kings substance.
8 Abakungu be nabo, ku bwabwe ne bagabira abantu ne bakabona n’abaleevi ebintu. Kirukiya, ne Zekkaliya ne Yekyeri abaddukanyanga emirimu gya yeekaalu ya Mukama ne bawa bakabona abaana b’endiga n’ab’embuzi enkumi bbiri mu lukaaga, n’ente ebikumi bisatu.
And his princes offred willingly vnto the people, to the Priests and to the Leuites: Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Iehiel, rulers of the house of God, gaue vnto the Priests for the Passeouer, euen two thousand and sixe hundreth sheepe, and three hundreth bullockes.
9 Konaniya, ne Semaaya ne Nesaneri, baganda be, ne Kasabiya ne Yeyeri ne Yozabadi, abakulu b’Abaleevi, nabo ne bawa Abaleevi abaana b’endiga n’ente enkumi ttaano nga by’ebiweebwayo eby’Embaga ey’Okuyitako.
Conaniah also and Shemaiah and Nethaneel his brethren, and Hashabiah and Ieiel, and Iozabad, chiefe of the Leuites gaue vnto the Leuites for the Passeouer, fiue thousand sheepe, and fiue hundreth bullockes.
10 Ne bateekateeka eby’okusinza, bakabona ne bayimirira mu bifo byabwe n’Abaleevi mu bibinja byabwe nga kabaka bwe yalagira.
Thus the seruice was prepared, and the Priests stoode in their places, also the Leuites in their orders, according to the Kings commandement:
11 Ne batta abaana b’endiga ab’Embaga ey’Okuyitako, bakabona ne bamansira omusaayi gwe baggyanga mu bisolo, Abaleevi bye baabaaganga.
And they slewe the Passeouer, and the Priests sprinkled the blood with their handes, and the Leuites flayed them.
12 Ne baawuula ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa balyoke babigabire abantu abaabulijjo mu bibinja byabwe mu nnyumba za bajjajjaabwe, babiweeyo eri Mukama, nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya Musa. Bwe batyo bwe baakola n’ente.
And they tooke away from the burnt offering to giue it according to the deuisions of the families of the children of the people, to offer vnto the Lord, as it is written in the booke of Moses, and so of the bullockes.
13 Ne bookya ensolo ez’Embaga ey’Okuyitako mu muliro nga bwe kyawandiikibwa, ne bafumba ebiweebwayo ebitukuvu mu ntamu, ne mu sefuliya ne mu nsaka, n’oluvannyuma ne babigabira mangu buli muntu owabulijjo.
And they rosted the Passeouer with fire, according to ye custome, but the sanctified things they sod in pots, pannes, and cauldrons, and distributed them quickely to all the people.
14 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo Abaleevi ne bakabona ne beeteekerateekera bo ne bakabona kubanga bakabona bazzukulu ba Alooni tebaalina bbanga olw’omulimu ogw’okuwaayo ebiweebwayo n’amasavu gwe baakola okuzibya obudde. Abaleevi kyebaava beeteekerateekera bo ne bakabona batabani ba Alooni.
Afterwarde also they prepared for them selues and for the Priestes: for the Priestes the sonnes of Aaron were occupied in offering of burnt offrings, and the fat vntill night: therefore the Leuites prepared for them selues, and for the Priests the sonnes of Aaron.
15 N’abayimbi bazzukulu ba Asafu baali mu bifo byabwe nga Dawudi, ne Asafu, ne Kemani ne Yedusuni, omulabi wa kabaka, bwe baalagira. N’abaggazi baali ku buli luggi, nga tebava ku kuweereza kwabwe, kubanga baganda baabwe Abaleevi baabateekerateekera.
And the singers the sonnes of Asaph stoode in their standing according to the commandement of Dauid, and Asaph, and Heman, and Ieduthun the Kings Seer: and the porters at euery gate, who might not depart from their seruice: therefore their brethren the Leuites prepared for them.
16 Bwe kutyo okuweereza kwonna okw’Embaga ey’Okuyitako n’okuwaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ku kyoto kya Mukama bwe kwali, Kabaka Yosiya kwe yalagira.
So all the seruice of the Lord was prepared the same day, to keepe the Passeouer, and to offer burnt offerings vpon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandement of King Iosiah.
17 Abayisirayiri abaaliwo mu kiseera ekyo, ne bakwata Embaga ey’Okuyitako, ne bafumba n’embaga ey’Emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse, okumala ennaku musanvu.
And the children of Israel that were present, kept the Passeouer the same time, and the feast of the vnleauened bread seuen dayes.
18 Waali tewabangawo Mbaga ya Kuyitako ng’eyo mu Isirayiri okuva mu nnaku za Samwiri nnabbi, nga eyaliwo mu kiseera kya Yosiya, ne bakabona n’Abaleevi, ne Yuda yonna ne Isirayiri abaaliwo, n’abatuuze ba Yerusaalemi.
And there was no Passeouer kept like that, in Israel, from the dayes of Samuel the Prophet: neyther did all the Kings of Israel keepe such a Passeouer as Iosiah kept, and the Priestes and the Leuites, and all Iudah, and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem.
19 Embaga ey’Okuyitako eyo yakwatibwa mu mwaka gwa kkumi na munaana ogw’okufuga kwa Yosiya.
This Passeouer was kept in the eighteenth yeere of the reigne of Iosiah.
20 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo byonna, Yosiya ng’amaze okuteekateeka yeekaalu, Neeko kabaka w’e Misiri n’atabaala Kalukemisi ku mugga Fulaati, ne Yosiya n’agenda amutabaale.
After all this, when Iosiah had prepared the Temple, Necho King of Egypt came vp to fight against Carchemish by Perath, and Iosiah went out against him.
21 Naye Neeko n’amutumira ababaka ng’amugamba nti, “Onvunaana ki gwe kabaka wa Yuda? Sitabaala gwe leero, wabula Kalukemisi ggwe nnwana naye, kubanga Katonda andagidde okwanguwa. Noolwekyo toziyiza Katonda, kubanga ali wamu nange. Bw’otoobeerwe anaakuzikiriza.”
But he sent messengers to him, saying, What haue I to doe with thee, thou King of Iudah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house of mine enemie, and God commanded me to make haste: leaue of to come against God, which is with me, least he destroy thee.
22 Naye Yosiya n’atamuwuliriza, ne yeebulizabuliza mu ggye n’agenda okumutabaala. N’atawuliriza bigambo bya Neeko ebyava eri Katonda, naye n’agenda okumulwanyisa mu lusenyi lwa Megiddo.
But Iosiah would not turne his face from him, but changed his apparel to fight with him, and hearkened not vnto the wordes of Necho, which were of the mouth of God, but came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
23 Abalasi ne balasa kabaka Yosiya n’agamba abaserikale be nti, “Munziggyeewo kubanga nfumitiddwa nnyo.”
And the shooters shot at king Iosiah: then the King saide to his seruants, Cary me away, for I am very sicke.
24 Awo ne bamuggya mu ggaali lye ne bamuteeka mu ggaali eddala lye yalina, ne bamuleeta e Yerusaalemi, era eyo gye yafiira. N’aziikibwa mu masiro ga bajjajjaabe. Yuda yonna ne Yerusaalemi ne bamukungubagira.
So his seruants tooke him out of that charet, and put him in the seconde charet which he had, and when they had brought him to Ierusalem, he dyed, and was buryed in the sepulchres of his fathers: and all Iudah and Ierusalem mourned for Iosiah.
25 Yeremiya n’ayiiya ennyimba ez’okukungubagira Yosiya, era ne leero abayimbi bonna abasajja n’abakazi bayimba nga bamujjukira mu nnyimba ez’okukungubaga. Ennyimba ezo zaafuuka kijjukizo mu Isirayiri era zawandiikibwa mu kungubaga.
And Ieremiah lamented Iosiah, and al singing men and singing women mourned for Iosiah in their lamentations to this day, and made the same for an ordinance vnto Israel: and beholde, they be written in the lamentations.
26 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyaliwo mu mirembe gya Yosiya, n’ebikolwa bye ebirungi, nga bwe byawandiikibwa mu tteeka lya Mukama,
Concerning the rest of the actes of Iosiah and his goodnesse, doing as it was written in the Lawe of the Lord,
27 ne byonna okuva ku ntandikwa ye okutuuka ku nkomerero ye, byawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri ne Yuda.
And his deedes, first and last, behold, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Israel and Iudah.
