2 Tantara 35
1 Le nambena’ Iosià e Ierosalaime ao ty fihelañ’ ambone am’ Iehovà; vaho linenta amy faha-folo-efats’ ambi’ i volam-baloha’eiy i fihelañ’ amboney.
Josiah held a Passover for the Lord in Jerusalem, and the Passover lamb was killed on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 Le nalaha’e am-pirimboñañe o mpisoroñeo, le nosihe’e amy fitoroñañe i anjomba’ Iehovàiy.
He assigned the priests to their respective duties and encouraged them in their ministry at the Lord's Temple.
3 Le hoe re amo nte-Levy mpañoke Israele iabio, o navaheñe amy Iehovào: Apoho amy anjomba’ rinanji’ i Selomò ana’ i Davidey i vata masiñey, fa tsy ho kilankañe an-tsoro’ areo eo ka, vaho toroño t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo naho ondati’e Israeleo henane zao;
Josiah told the Levites who taught all Israel and were holy to the Lord, “Place the holy Ark in the Temple built by Solomon, son of David, king of Israel. It's not necessary for you to carry it around on your shoulders any more. Your responsibility now is to serve the Lord your God and his people Israel.
4 le mihentseña sambe anjomban-droae, songa firimboñañe, ty amy sinoki’ i Davide mpanjaka’ Israeley naho i sinoki’ i Selomò ana’ey;
Get yourselves ready for service in your divisions, by families, according to the instructions given by David, king of Israel, and his son Solomon.
5 le mijohaña an-toe-miavake ao, songa firimboñan’ anjomban-droaen-drolongo, naho ami’ty fizarañe o anjomban-droaen-te-Levio.
Then you are to stand in the sanctuary to assist the lay people according to family divisions, following the assignments according to your Levite family divisions.
6 Le lentao i fihelañ’ amboney naho miavaha, le ampihentseño o longo’ areoo, hañorike i tsara’ Iehovà ampità’ i Mosèy.
Sacrifice the Passover lambs, purify yourselves, and be ready to help the people who come to fulfill the requirements given by the Lord through Moses.”
7 Le nitolora’ Iosià vik’ añondry naho vik’ ose amo ana’ondatio, ze teo iaby, songa hengaeñe amy fihelañ’ amboney, le telo’ ale ty hamaro’e naho añombe telo’ arivo, boak’ am-panaña’ i mpanjakay.
Josiah contributed as Passover offerings for all the people who were present 30,000 lambs and goats, and 3,000 bulls, all from his own flocks and herds.
8 Nañomey an-tsatrin’ arofo amo mpisoroñeo naho amo nte-Levio ka o roandriañeo. Le natolo’ i Kilkià naho i Zekarià vaho Iekiele, mpiaolo amy anjomban’ Añaharey amo mpisoroñeo ty ro’arivo-tsi-enenjato hisoroñañe amy fihelañ’ amboney naho añombe telon-jato.
His officials contributed freely to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, who were in charge of God's Temple, gave the priests as Passover offerings 2,600 Passover lambs and 300 bulls.
9 Nanolotse amo nte-Levio ka t’i Konanià naho i Semaia naho i Netanele, rahalahi’e naho i Kasabià naho Ieiele vaho Iozabade, mpiaolo’ o nte-Levio, ty lime-arivo hisoroñañe amy fihelañ’ amboney naho ty añombe liman-jato.
The leaders of the Levites, Conaniah, and Shemaiah and Nethanel his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, gave the Levites as Passover offerings 5,000 lambs and young goats and 500 bulls.
10 Aa le nihalankañeñe i fitoloñañey, songa nijohañe an-toe’e eo o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio, sindre firimboñañe, ty amy lili’ i mpanjakay.
Once the preparations had been completed, the priests stood where they had been assigned and the Levites took their places in their divisions as the king had ordered.
11 Le linenta’ iareo i vik’ añondrim-pihelañ’ amboney, le nafetsa’ o mpisoroñeo boak’ ampità’ iareo ty lio’e vaho nolire’ o nte-Levio.
They killed the Passover lambs, the priests sprinkled the blood they were given on the altar, while the Levites skinned the sacrifices.
12 Navi’ iareo o hisoroñañeo, hanolora’ iareo amo fizaran’ anjomban-droae’ o ana’ ondatio, hañenga’ iareo am’ Iehovà ty amy misokitse am-boke’ i Mosèy. Manahake izay o añombeo.
They put to one side the burnt offerings to be given to the families of the lay people, by division, to offer to the Lord, as required in the Book of Moses. They did the same thing with the bulls.
13 Natono’ iareo añ’ afo i fihelañ’ amboney ty amy fañèy fe natokoñe ambalàñe naho an-tsajoa ao vaho an-tsiliàñe o soroñe miavakeo vaho nasese’ iareo masìka amo ana’ ondatio.
They roasted the Passover sacrifices on the fire as requires, and they boiled the holy offerings in pots, caldrons, and pans, and took them quickly to the lay people.
14 Ie nañeneke izay le nañajary ho am-bata’e naho amo mpisoroñeo; amy te nañenga o soroñeo naho i saboray pak’ amy haleñey o mpisoroñe ana’ i Aharoneo; aa le nifañalankañe ho am-bata’e naho ho amo mpisoroñe ana’ i Aharoneo o nte-Levio.
After that they prepared food from the offerings for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were busy presenting burnt offerings and fat until night came. So the Levites did this work for themselves and for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
15 An-toe’e eo ka o mpisabo ana’ i Asafeo, ty amy lili’ i Davide naho i Asafe naho Iedotone, mpioni’ i mpanjakay; le tsy niavota’ o mpañambeñeo ty fitoroña’ iareo amo lalambey iabio, amy te nañalankañe ho a iareo o nte-Levy longo’ iareoo.
The singers, the descendants of Asaph, were in their places following the instructions given by David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, the king's seer. The gatekeepers in charge at each gate did not need to leave, because their fellow Levites provided for them.
16 Aa le nihenek’ amy àndroy ty fitoroñañe am’ Iehovà, ty fañambenañe i fihelañ’ amboney naho ty fisoroñañe o engan-koroañe an-kitreli’ Iehovào, ty amy nafe’ Ioase mpanjakay.
So on that day the whole Passover service of the Lord was took place, including the presenting of burnt offerings on the altar of the Lord, as King Josiah had ordered.
17 Le nambena’ o ana’ Israele niatreke eo tañ’andro zaio fito andro i fihelañ’ amboney naho i sabadidake mofo-po-dalivaiy.
The Israelites who were there also celebrated Passover at that time, and also the Feast of Unleavened Bread for the following seven days.
18 Le tsy teo ty fihelañ’ ambone nihajarieñe hambañ’ama’e e Israele ao boak’ añ’ andro’ i Samoele mpitoky; vaho tsy tamo mpanjaka’ Israeleo ty nahaambeñe fihelañ’ ambone manahake ty nanoe’ Ioase rekets’ o mpisoroñe naho nte-Levio naho Iehodà naho Israele iaby niatrekeo, mitraok’ amo mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo.
No Passover like this had been held in Israel since the time of Samuel the prophet. None of the kings of Israel had ever held a Passover like the one that Josiah observed with the priests, the Levites, all of Judah, the Israelites who were there, and the people of Jerusalem.
19 Amy taom-paha-folo-valo-ambim-pifehea’ Ioasey ty nañambenañe i fihelañ’ amboney.
This Passover was observed in the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah.
20 Ie añe, naho fa nihajarie’ Iosia i anjombay, te nimb’eo t’i Nekò, mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime hialy e Karkemise e Peratey añe, le niavotse mb’eo t’Iosia hiatreatre.
After all this work that Josiah had carried out in restoring the Temple, King Neco of Egypt was leading his army to fight at Carchemish near the Euphrates, and Josiah went to confront him.
21 Fe nampihitrifa’e ìrake, nanao ty hoe: Manao inoñ’ ama’o iraho ry mpanjaka’ Iehodà? Tsy ihe ty atretrèko androany, fa i anjomba anañako aliy; vaho nandily ahy hihitrihitry mb’eo t’i Andrianañahare; aa le mifoneña tsy hitsoborea’o i Andrianañahare mpañolotse ahikoy, tsy mone harotsa’e.
Neco sent messengers to him, saying, “What argument is there between you and me, king of Judah? I have not come to attack you today, because I'm fighting with another kingdom. God told me I should hurry, so stop obstructing God, who is with me, or he'll destroy you!”
22 Fe tsy nimete nitolike tsy ho ama’e t’Iosia fa nañonohono vatañe hialia’e, le tsy hinao’e i saontsi’ i Nekò boak’ am-palien’ Añaharey vaho nimb’ am-bavatane’ i Megidò re hialy.
But Josiah did not turn away and leave. Instead, he disguised himself so he could fight Neco in battle. He ignored Neco's message that came from God, and went to fight him on the Plain of Megiddo.
23 Aa le tinifi’ o mpitàm-paleo t’Iosia mpanjaka; le hoe i mpanjakay amo mpitoro’eo; Asitaho iraho, fa vata’e fere.
There archers shot King Josiah. He called out those beside him, “Get me out of the battle, because I'm badly wounded!”
24 Aa le nakare’ o mpitoro’eo amy saretey vaho najo’ iareo amy sarete faharoe nindese’ey naho nasese’ iareo mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo naho nihomake vaho nalentek’ an-kiborin-droae’e ao. Le fonga nandala aze t’Iehoda naho Ierosalaime.
So they carried him out of his chariot, and took him back in his second chariot to Jerusalem, where he died. Josiah was buried in the tomb of his forefathers. All Judah and Jerusalem wept for him.
25 Nibeko fandalañe am’ Iosia t’Ieremià naho hene takasie’ o sakeran-dahilahio naho bekoe’ o sairy ampelao t’Iosia pak’ androany; vaho nanoa’ iareo fañè e Israele ao; oniño t’ie misokitse amo Firovetañeo.
Then Jeremiah wrote a lament over Josiah, and to this day male and female choirs sing sad songs about Josiah. They have become a part of what is regularly sung in Israel, and they are recorded in the Book of Laments.
26 Aa naho o fitoloña’ Iosià ila’eo naho o fatariha’e ty amo pinatetse amy Hà’ Iehovàio
The rest of what Josiah did, along with his acts of loyalty following what is written in the Law of the Lord,
27 le o tolon-draha’eo, ty valoha’e pak’ am-para’e; ingo fonga sinokitse amy bokem-panjakà’ Israele naho Iehoday.
all his actions, from beginning to end, are recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
