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 kept, in Jerusalem, a passover unto Yahweh, —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 over their charges, —and encouraged them unto the service of the house of Yahweh;

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 said to the Levites who gave instruction to all Israel as to the things which were hallowed unto Yahweh, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon son of David king of Israel did build, it is not yours as a burden on the shoulder, —Now, serve ye Yahweh 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 ancestral houses, according to your courses, —by the writing of David king of Israel, and by what hath been written by 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 ye in the holy place, by the divisions of the ancestral house, for your brethren, the sons of the people, and the partitioning of an ancestral house, for 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.

So slaughter ye the passover, —and hallow yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, that they may do according to the word of Yahweh, 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 Josiah presented to the sons of the people—of flocks, young sheep and the young of the goats, the whole for the passover offerings, for all present, to the number of thirty thousand, and, of bullocks, three thousand, —these, out of the substance of the king.

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 rulers, willingly, to the people and to the priests and to the Levites, presented, —Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, chief rulers of the house of God, unto the priests, did give, for passover offerings, two thousand and six hundred, and, of bullocks, three hundred;

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 Nethanel his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, rulers of the Levites, presented to the Levites, for passover offerings, five thousand, and, of bullocks, five hundred.

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.

Thus was the service prepared, —and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the commandment of the king.

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

So they slaughtered the passover, and the priests dashed [the blood received] at their hand, and the Levites were flaying [the offerings].

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.

Then they removed the ascending-sacrifice, that they might give them—by the divisions of each ancestral house—unto the sons of the people, to offer unto Yahweh, as it is written in the Book of Moses, —and, in like manner, with the bullocks.

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 cooked the passover with fire, according to the regulation, —but, the hallowed things, cooked they in cauldrons and in pots and in bowls, and then took quickly, unto all the sons 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, prepared they for themselves and for the priests, because, the priests, the sons of Aaron, had been engaged in offering up the ascending-sacrifice and the fat pieces, until night, —the Levites, therefore 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.

the singers also, the sons of Asaph, were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the seer of the king, and, the doorkeepers, were at the several doors, —there was no need for them to remove 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.

Thus was all the service of Yahweh prepared on that day; to keep the passover, and to offer up the ascending-sacrifice, upon the altar of Yahweh, —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.

So the sons of Israel who were present kept the passover at that time, —and the festival of unleavened cakes, 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 had not been kept, a passover like it, in Israel, since the days of Samuel the prophet, —yea, none of the kings of Israel, had kept such a passover as was kept by Josiah 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 kept this passover.

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 prepared the house, Neco king of Egypt came up, -to fight against Carchemish, by Euphrates, and Josiah went forth 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.

But he sent unto him messengers, saying—What have I to do with thee, O king of Judah? not against thee, [have I come] this day, but against the house wherewith I have war, and, God, hath given word to speed me, —cease thou from [provoking] God who is with me, lest he destroy 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.

Howbeit Josiah turned not his face from him, for, to fight against him, he had disguised himself, and he hearkened not unto the words of Neco, from the mouth of God, —so 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 unto his servants, Take 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.

So his servants took him away out of the war-chariot, and conveyed him in a second chariot which he had, and carried him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in the sepulchres of his fathers, —and, all Judah and Jerusalem, were mourning over 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 chanted a dirge over Josiah, and all the singing men and singing women in their dirges have spoken concerning Josiah, until this day, and they appointed them by statute for Israel, —and, there they are, written among the dirges.

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

But, the rest of the story of Josiah, and his lovingkindness, —according to that which is written in the law of Yahweh:

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

even his story, first and last, there it is, written in the book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
