2 Tantara 35

1 Ary Josia nitandrina ny Paska tany Jerosalema ho an’ i Jehovah; dia namono ny Paska ny olona tamin’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana voalohany.

And Josiah held a passover to Jehovah in Jerusalem; and they slaughtered the passover on the fourteenth of the first month.

2 Ary Josia nanendry ny mpisorona ho amin’ ny anjara-raharahany avy ka namporisika azy hanao ny fanompoana ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.

And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of Jehovah.

3 Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny Levita izay mpampianatra ny Isiraely rehetra sady efa masìna ho an’ i Jehovah: Apetraho ao an-trano nataon’ i Solomona, zanak’ i Davida, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, ny fiara masìna; fa izao dia efa tsy milanja azy intsony ianareo; koa manompoa an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo sy ny Isiraely olony;

And he said to the Levites, that taught all Israel, [and] who were holy to Jehovah, Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built; ye have not to carry it upon your shoulders. Serve now Jehovah your God, and his people Israel;

4 ary samia miomana araka ny fianakavianareo avy ianareo, dia araka ny antokonareo, araka ny voasoratr’ i Davida, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, sy araka ny voasoratr’ i Solomona zanany koa.

and prepare yourselves by your fathers' houses, in your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son;

5 Ary mitsangàna eo amin’ ny fitoerana masìna araka ny fizaran’ ny fianakavian’ ny rahalahinareo amin’ ny vahoaka sy araka ny fizaran’ ny fianakavian’ ny Levita.

and stand in the sanctuary for the classes of the fathers' houses, for your brethren, the children of the people, and [according] to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the Levites;

6 Dia vonoy ny Paska, sady hamasino ny tenanareo, ka manamboara ho an’ ny rahalahinareo, hanaovana araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nampilazainy an’ i Mosesy.

and slaughter the passover, and hallow yourselves, and prepare it for your brethren, that they may do according to the word of Jehovah through Moses.

7 Ary ny vahoaka izay vory teo dia nomen’ i losia zanak’ ondry sy zanak’ osy, telo alina no isany hatao Paska avokoa ireo sy omby telo arivo; avy tamin’ ny fananan’ ny mpanjaka ireo.

And Josiah gave for the children of the people a heave-offering of the flocks, lambs and goats, all for the passover-offerings, for all that were present — to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king's substance.

8 Ary ny mpanapaka nanome an-tsitrapo ho an’ ny olona sy ho an’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita. Ary Hilkia sy Zakaria sy Jehiela, mpanapaka ny tranon’ Andriamanitra, nanome ondry aman’ osy enin-jato amby roa arivo ho an’ ny mpisorona hatao Paska ary omby telon-jato.

And his princes gave a voluntary heave-offering for the people, for the priests, and for the Levites: Hilkijah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the passover-offerings two thousand six hundred [small cattle] and three hundred oxen;

9 Ary Konania sy Semaia sy Netanela rahalahiny ary Hasabia sy Jeiela sy Jozabada, lehiben’ ny Levita, nanome ondry aman’ osy dimy arivo ho an’ ny Levita hatao Paska ary omby dimam-jato.

and Conaniah, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave as heave-offering to the Levites for the passover-offerings five thousand [small cattle] and five hundred oxen.

10 Koa dia vonona ny zavatra; ary ny mpisorona nitsangana teo amin’ ny fitoerany avy, ary ny Levita araka ny antokony avy, araka ny didin’ ny mpanjaka.

And the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their divisions, according to the king's commandment.

11 Dia novonoin’ ny olona ny Paska, ary natopin’ ny mpisorona ny rà teny an-tànany, dia vao nohodiran’ ny Levita kosa.

And they slaughtered the passover, and the priests sprinkled [the blood] from their hand, and the Levites flayed them.

12 Dia natokany ny fanatitra dorana homen’ ny olona araka ny fizaran’ ny fianakaviany, mba hateriny ho an’ i Jehovah araka izay voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ i Mosesy. Ary toy izany koa tamin’ ny omby.

And they set apart the burnt-offerings to give them to the classes of the fathers' houses of the children of the people, to present them to Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so [did they] with the oxen.

13 Ary ny Paska natsatsika tamin’ ny afo araka ny fanao; fa ny zava-masìna kosa nandrahoiny tao anaty vilany sy vilanibe ary kasiteronina, dia nozarainy faingana tamin’ ny olona rehetra izany.

And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance; and the consecrated things they boiled in pots and in cauldrons and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the children of the people.

14 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nanamboatra io an’ ny tenany sy ny mpisorona izy; fa ny mpisorona, taranak’ i Arona, nanatitra ny fanatitra dorana sy ny saborany mandra-pahalin’ ny andro; fa ny Levita kosa nanamboatra ny Paska ho an’ ny tenany sy ny mpisorona, taranak’ i Arona.

And afterwards they made ready for themselves and for the priests; because the priests, the sons of Aaron, [were engaged] in offering up the burnt-offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.

15 Ary ny mpihira, taranak’ i Asafa, nitoetra teo amin’ ny fitoerany, araka ny didin’ i Davida sy Asafa sy Hemana ary Jedotona, mpahitan’ ny mpanjaka, ary ny mpiandry varavarana dia teo amin’ ny isam-bavahady; fa tsy afaka niala tamin’ ny fanompoany ireo, ka ny Levita rahalahiny no nanamboatra ho azy.

And 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 doorkeepers were at every gate; they had not to depart from their service, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

16 Ary dia vonona androtrizay avokoa ny hatao fanompoana an’ i Jehovah amin’ ny hitandremana ny Paska sy ny hanaterana ny fanatitra dorana eo ambonin’ ny alitaran’ i Jehovah araka ny tenin’ i Josia mpanjaka.

And all the service of Jehovah was prepared the same day, to hold the passover, and to offer burnt-offerings on the altar of Jehovah according to the commandment of king Josiah.

17 Ary ny Zanak’ isiraely izay vory teo dia nitandrina ny paska fahizay sy ny andro firavoravoana hafitoana fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira.

And the children of Israel that were present held the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.

18 Fa tsy nisy Paska notandremana toy izany teo amin’ ny Isiraely na dia hatramin’ ny andron’ i Samoela mpaminany aza; ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely rehetra tsy nisy nitandrina ny Paska tahaka izay nataon’ i Josia sy ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ary ny Joda rehetra sy ny Isiraely izay vory teo ary ny mponina tany Jerosalema.

And there was no passover like to that holden in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel hold such a passover as Josiah held, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

19 Tamin’ ny taona fahavalo ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Josia no nitandremana izany Paska izany.

In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover holden.

20 Ary rehefa afaka izany rehetra izany, nony efa namboarin’ i Josia ny tempoly, dia niakatra Neko, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, hiady tany Karkemisy eo amoron’ i Eofrata; ary Josia nivoaka hiady aminy.

After all this, when Josiah had arranged the house, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Karkemish at the Euphrates; and Josiah went out against him.

21 Fa Neko naniraka olona ho any aminy hanao hoe: Moa mifaninona akory izaho sy ianao, ry mpanjakan’ ny Joda? Tsy ady aminao izao anio izao, fa amin’ ny fahavaloko, sady nasain’ Andriamanitra handeha faingana aho; koa aza manohitra an’ Andriamanitra Izay momba ahy, fandrao matiny ianao.

And he sent messengers to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house with which I have war; and God has told me to make haste: keep aloof from God who is with me, that he destroy thee not.

22 Fa Josia tsy nety nihodina niala taminy, fa nody olon-kafa mba hiady taminy ka tsy nety nihaino ny tenin’ i Neko, izay nampilazain’ Andriamanitra azy, fa nandeha hiady taminy ihany teo amin’ ny lohasahan’ i Megido.

But Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight against him; and he hearkened not to the words of Necho from the mouth of God; and he came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

23 Ary ny mpandefa tsipìka nahavoa an’ i Josia mpanjaka; dia hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ ny mpanompony: Ento miala eto aho; fa voa mafy aho.

And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away, for I am sore wounded.

24 Dia nesorin’ ny mpanompony tamin’ izany kalesy izany izy, ka napetrany teo amin’ ny kalesiny faharoa ary nentiny ho any Jerosalema; dia maty izy ka nalevina tao am-pasan-drazany. Ary ny Joda sy Jerosalema rehetra dia nisaona an’ i Josia.

And his servants took him out from 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 sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

25 Ary Jeremia dia nanao hira fisaonana an’ i Josia, ary ny mpihiralahy sy ny mpihiravavy rehetra dia mahatsiahy an’ i Josia mandraka androany, raha manao hira fisaonana, ka nataony fanao teo amin’ ny Isiraely izany; ary, indro, efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny fihirana fisaonana izany.

And 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 for Israel. And behold, they are written in the lamentations.

26 Ary ny tantaran’ i Josia sisa mbamin’ ny soa nataony, araka izay efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalàn’ i Jehovah,

And the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of Jehovah,

27 dia ny asany voalohany sy farany, indro, efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely sy ny Joda izany.

and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
