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 Josias kept a phase to the Lord in Jerusalem, and it was sacrificed on the fourteenth day 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 offices, and exhorted them to minister in the house of the Lord.
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 spoke to the Levites, by whose instruction all Israel was sanctified to the Lord, saying: Put the ark in the sanctuary of the temple, which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built: for you shall carry it no more: but minister now to the Lord your God, and to 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 houses, and families according to your courses, as David king of Israel commanded, and Solomon his son hath written.
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 serve ye in the sanctuary by the families and companies of Levi.
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 being sanctified kill the phase, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the words which the Lord spoke by the hand of 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 Josias gave to all the people that were found there in the solemnity of the phase, of lambs and of kids of the flocks, and of other small cattle thirty thousand, and of oxen three thousand, all 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 willingly offered what they had vowed, both to the people and to the priests and the Levites. Moreover Helcias, and Zacharias, and Jahiel rulers of the house of the Lord, gave to the priests to keep the phase 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 Chonenias, and Semeias and Nathanael, his brethren, and Hasabias, and Jehiel, and Jozabad princes of the Levites, gave to the rest of the Levites to celebrate the phase 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 ministry was prepared, and the priests stood in their office: the Levites also in their companies, 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 the phase was immolated: and the priests sprinkled the blood with their hand, and the Levites flayed the holocausts:
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 separated them to give them by the houses and families of every one, and to be offered to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses, and with the oxen they did in like manner.
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 phase with fire, according to that which is written in the law: but the victims of peace offerings they boiled in caldrons, and kettles, and pots, and they distributed them speedily among all 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: for the priests were busied in offering of holocausts and the fat until night: wherefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron last.
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 stood in their order, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Idithun the prophets of the king: and the porters kept guard at every gate, so as not to depart one moment from their service: and therefore their brethren the Levites prepared meats 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.
So all the service of the Lord was duly accomplished that day, both in keeping the phase, and offering holocausts upon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of king Josias.
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 found there, kept the phase 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.
There was no phase like to this in Israel, from the days of Samuel the prophet: neither did any of all the kings of Israel keep such a phase as Josias kept, with the priests, and the Levites, and all Juda, and Israel that were found, 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 Josias was this phase celebrated.
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 that Josias had repaired the temple, Nechao king of Egypt came up to fight in Charcamis by the Euphrates: and Josias went out to meet 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.
But he sent messengers to him, saying: What have I to do with thee, O king of Juda? I come not against thee this day, but I fight against another house, to which God hath commanded me to go in haste: forbear to do against God, who is with me, lest he kill thee.
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.
Josias would not return, but prepared to fight against him, and hearkened not to the words of Nechao from the mouth of God, I but went to fight in the field of Mageddo.
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 there he was wounded by the archers, and he said to his servants: Carry me out of the battle, for I am grievously 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 they removed him from the chariot into another, that followed him after the manner of kings, and they carried him away to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in the monument of his fathers, and all Juda and Jerusalem mourned for him,
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.
Particularly Jeremias: whose lamentations for Josias all the singing men and singing women repeat unto this day, and it became like a law in Israel: Behold it is found 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,
Now the rest of the acts of Josias and of his mercies, according to what was commanded by the law of the Lord:
27 dia ny asany voalohany sy farany, indro, efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely sy ny Joda izany.
And his works first and last, are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
