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 kept a Passover to Yahweh in Jerusalem, and they killed the Passover lambs 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 placed the priests in their positions and encouraged them in the service of the house of Yahweh.
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;
He said to the Levites who taught all Israel and who were set apart to Yahweh, “Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon son of David, king of Israel built. Do not carry it around on your shoulders any longer. Now worship Yahweh your God, and serve 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;
Organize yourselves by the name of your ancestral houses and your divisions, following the written instructions of David, king of Israel, and those of Solomon, his son.
5 le mijohaña an-toe-miavake ao, songa firimboñan’ anjomban-droaen-drolongo, naho ami’ty fizarañe o anjomban-droaen-te-Levio.
Stand in the holy place, taking your position with your divisions within the ancestral houses of your brothers, the descendants of the people, and taking your places with your divisions within the ancestral houses of the Levites.
6 Le lentao i fihelañ’ amboney naho miavaha, le ampihentseño o longo’ areoo, hañorike i tsara’ Iehovà ampità’ i Mosèy.
Kill the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves, prepare the lambs for your brothers, to do according to the word of Yahweh that was given by the hand of 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 gave to all the people thirty thousand lambs and kids from flocks for the Passover offerings to all who were present. He also gave three thousand bulls; these were from the king's possessions.
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 leaders gave a free will offering to the people, priests, and Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the officials in charge of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings 2,600 small cattle and three hundred oxen.
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.
Also Konaniah, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small cattle and five hundred oxen.
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.
So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their places, with the Levites by their divisions, in response to the king's command.
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, and the priests sprinkled the blood that they received from the Levites' hand, and the Levites skinned the lambs.
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 removed the burnt offerings, in order to distribute them to the divisions of the ancestral houses of the people, to offer them to Yahweh, as it is written in the Book of Moses. They did the same 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 lambs with fire following the instructions. As for the consecrated offerings, they boiled them in pots, cauldrons, and pans, and they quickly carried them to all the 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.
They later prepared offerings for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were occupied in offering the burnt offerings and the fat until nightfall, so the Levites prepared the offerings 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 place, as directed by David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer, and the guards were at every gate. They did not have to leave their post, because their brothers the Levites made preparations 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, at that time the entire service of Yahweh was carried out for the celebration of the Passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of Yahweh, as King Josiah commanded.
17 Le nambena’ o ana’ Israele niatreke eo tañ’andro zaio fito andro i fihelañ’ amboney naho i sabadidake mofo-po-dalivaiy.
The people of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and then the Festival of Unleavened Bread for 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.
Such a Passover celebration had never been held in Israel from the days of the prophet Samuel, nor had any of the other kings of Israel ever celebrated such a Passover as Josiah did, along with the priests, Levites, and all the people of Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 Amy taom-paha-folo-valo-ambim-pifehea’ Ioasey ty nañambenañe i fihelañ’ amboney.
This Passover was kept 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, after Josiah had set the temple in order, Necho, king of Egypt, went up to fight against Carchemish at the Euphrates River, and Josiah went to fight against 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.
But Necho sent ambassadors to him, saying, “What have I to do with you, king of Judah? I am not coming against you today, but against the house with which I am making war. God has commanded me to hurry, so refrain from interfering with God, who is with me, or he might 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.
However, Josiah refused to turn away from him. He disguised himself in order to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Necho that had come from the mouth of God; so he went to fight in the Valley 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.
Archers shot King Josiah, and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am 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 his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in his extra chariot. They took him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs of his ancestors. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
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.
Jeremiah lamented for Josiah; all the male and female singers lament about Josiah to this day. These songs became customary in Israel; behold, they are written in the songs of lament.
26 Aa naho o fitoloña’ Iosià ila’eo naho o fatariha’e ty amo pinatetse amy Hà’ Iehovàio
As for the other matters concerning Josiah, and his good deeds done in obedience to what is written in the law of Yahweh—
27 le o tolon-draha’eo, ty valoha’e pak’ am-para’e; ingo fonga sinokitse amy bokem-panjakà’ Israele naho Iehoday.
and his deeds, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
