2 Whakapapa 35

1 Na ka mahia e Hohia te kapenga ki Hiruharama hei mea ki a Ihowa; patua ana e ratou te kapenga i te tekau ma wha o te marama tuatahi.

And Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in Jerusalem; and they killed the passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the first month.

2 I whakaturia ano e ia nga tohunga ki ta ratou mahi, i whakatenatena ano i a ratou ki nga mahi o te whare o Ihowa.

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

3 A i mea ia ki nga Riwaiti, ki nga kaiwhakaako o Iharaira katoa, ara ki te hunga i tapu ki a Ihowa, Whakatakotoria te aaka tapu ki te whare i hanga e Horomona tama a Rawiri, kingi o Iharaira: a kore ake e tau he pikaunga ki runga ki o koutou pokoh iwi; me mahi koutou aianei ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, ki tana iwi ano, ki a Iharaira.

And he said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, that were holy unto the LORD: 'Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; there shall no more be a burden upon your shoulders; now serve the LORD your God, and His people Israel.

4 Kia ata rite koutou, tenei whare, tenei whare o o koutou matua, i o koutou wehenga, kia rite ki te mea i tuhituhia e Rawiri kingi o Iharaira, ki te mea ano i tuhituhia e tana tama, e Horomona.

And prepare ye after your fathers' houses by your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.

5 Me tu hoki ki te wahi tapu; kia rite ano nga wehenga o nga whare o nga matua o o koutou tuakana, teina, o nga tama a te iwi, a ma tenei, ma tenei, he wehenga o tetahi o nga whare matua o nga Riwaiti.

And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers' houses of your brethren the children of the people, and let there be for each a portion of a father's house of the Levites.

6 Ka patu ai i te kapenga, ka whakatapu ai i a koutou, ka whakapai ano i o koutou tuakana, teina, kia rite ai ta ratou mahi ki ta Ihowa kupu, i korerotia ra e Mohi.

And kill the passover lamb, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, to do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.'

7 I homai ano e Hohia ki nga tama a te iwi etahi reme, etahi kuao koati i te kahui, enei katoa mo nga kapenga, hei mea ma te hunga katoa i reira, e toru tekau mano te maha, e toru mano nga puru: no nga taonga enei a te kingi.

And Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all of them for the passover-offerings, unto all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks; these were of the king's substance.

8 I homai ano e ana rangatira, he mea tapae noa ki te iwi, ki nga tohunga, ki nga Riwaiti. I homai e Hirikia, e Hakaraia, e Tehiere, ara e nga rangatira o te whare o te Atua ki nga tohunga etahi kararehe hei mea kapenga, e rua mano e ono rau, he pu ru hoki e toru rau.

And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover-offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.

9 Na, ko ona teina, ko Konania, ko Hemaia, ko Netaneere, me nga rangatira o nga riwaiti, me Hahapia, ratou ko Teiere, ko Iotapara, homai ana e ratou ki nga Riwaiti hei mea kapenga, e rima mano o etahi kararehe ano, e rima rau nga puru.

Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for the passover-offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.

10 Heoi kua rite nga mea mo te mahi, a kau tu nga tohunga ki o ratou turanga, me nga Riwaiti, tenei wehenga, tenei wehenga o ratou, ko ta te kingi hoki i whakahau ai.

So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their courses, according to the king's commandment.

11 Na ka patua te kapenga, tauhuihia ana e nga tohunga te toto i homai nei ki o ratou ringa, a na nga Riwaiti i tihore.

And they killed the passover lamb, and the priests dashed the blood, which they received of their hand, and the Levites flayed them.

12 I wehea hoki e ratou nga tahunga tinana, hei hoatu ki nga wehenga o nga whare o nga matua o te iwi, hei whakahere ki a Ihowa, kia rite ai ki te mea i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka a Mohi: pena ana ano ratou ki nga kau.

And they removed the portions that were to be burnt, that they might give them to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the children of the people, to present unto the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.

13 A tunua ana e ratou te kapenga ki te ahi, rite tonu ta ratou ki te tikanga. Ko era atu mea tapu ia i kohuatia ki te kohua, ki te pata, ki te hopane, a, hohoro tonu te tuwha ma te iwi katoa.

And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance; and the holy offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of the people.

14 A muri iho ka taka ma ratou ake ko nga tohunga; i te mahi tonu hoki nga tohunga, nga tama a Arona, i te whakaeke i nga tahunga tinana, i te ngako a po noa; no reira ko nga Riwaiti hei taka ma ratou ko nga tohunga, ko nga tama a Arona.

And afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests; because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering the portions that were to be burnt and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.

15 Na, ko nga kaiwaiata, ko nga tama a Ahapa i to ratou na turanga, ko ta Rawiri hoki ia i whakahau ai, ratou ko Ahapa, ko Hemana, ko Ierutunu matakite a te kingi. Na, ko nga kaitiaki kuwaha i tenei kuwaha, i tenei kuwaha ratou; kahore he tikanga k ia mahua ta ratou mahi, ko o ratou tuakana hoki, ko nga Riwaiti, hei taka ma ratou.

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

16 Heoi oti ake te mahi katoa ki a Ihowa i taua ra ano, ara te mahi i te kapenga, me te whakaeke ano i nga tahunga tinana ki runga ki te aata a Ihowa, ko ta Kingi Hohia hoki i whakahau ai.

So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt-offerings upon the altar of the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah.

17 Na i mahia i taua wa e nga tama a Iharaira i kitea ki reira te kapenga me te hakari taro rewenakore, e whitu ra:

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

18 Kahore hoki he kapenga hei rite mo tera i mahia i roto i a Iharaira, no nga ra ano o Hamuera poropiti: kahore hoki he kapenga i mahia e nga kingi katoa o Iharaira hei rite mo ta Hohia i mahi ai, ratou ko nga tohunga, ko nga Riwaiti, ko Hura kato a, me te hunga o Iharaira i reira, me nga tangata ano o Hiruharama.

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

19 No te tekau ma waru o nga tau o te kingitanga o Hohia i mahia ai tenei kapenga.

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

20 I muri i tenei katoa, i te mea ka oti i a Hohia te temepara te whakapai ka haere a Neko kingi o Ihipa ki te tatau ki Karakemihi ki te taha o Uparati, a puta ana a Hohia ki te tu i a ia.

After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates; and Josiah went out against him.

21 Otiia ka tono tangata mai tera ki a ia, hei mea, Ko te aha ta taua, e te kingi o Hura? ehara taku inaianei i te mea ki a koe; engari ki te whare ka whawhaitia nei e ahau; kua mea nei hoki te Atua ki ahau kia hohoro taku. Kei pokanoa koe ki ta te Atua; kei ahau hoki ia, kei whakangaro ia i a koe.

But he sent ambassadors 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 wherewith I have war; and God hath given command to speed me; forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that He destroy thee not.'

22 Kihai ia te mata o Hohia i tahuri atu i a ia. Whakaahua ke ana ia i a ia, he mea kia whawhai raua; kihai ano i rongo ki nga kupu a Neko, no te mangai o te Atua; a haere ana ki te whawhai ki te raorao i Mekiro.

Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Neco, from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

23 Na ka kopere nga kaikopere ki a Kingi Hohia. A ka mea te kingi ki ana tangata, Kawea atu ahau; he nui rawa hoki toku tunga.

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

24 Na ka tangohia ia e ana tangata i te hariata, a utaina ana ki te tuarua o ana hariata, kawea atu ana ki Hiruharama, a mate iho ia; na tanumia ana ia ki nga urupa o ona matua. A tangihia ana a Hohia e Hura katoa, e Hiruharama.

So his servants took him out of 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 A i waiatatia ano e Heremaia he apakura mo Hohia; i korerotia ano a Hohia e nga kaiwaiata, e nga tane, e nga wahine, i a ratou apakura, a taea noatia tenei ra; a waiho iho e ratou hei tikanga ma Iharaira. Nana, kei roto na i nga waiata tangi.

And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah; and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations, unto this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel; and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.

26 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Hohia, me ana mahi atawhai, rite tonu ki nga mea i tuhituhia ki te ture a Ihowa,

Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the Law of the LORD,

27 Ko ana meatanga o mua, o muri, nana, kei te tuhituhi i te pukapuka o nga kingi o Iharaira, o Hura.

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