2 Imilando 35
1 UJosiya wenza uMkhosi wePhasika kuThixo eJerusalema, iwundlu lePhasika lahlatshwa ngosuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga yakuqala.
And he observed Josiah in Jerusalem a passover to Yahweh and people slaughtered the passover on [day] four-teen of the month first.
2 Wabeka abaphristi ngemisebenzi yabo njalo wabakhuthaza emsebenzini wethempeli likaThixo.
And he appointed the priests on duties their and he encouraged them for [the] service of [the] house of Yahweh.
3 KubaLevi, ababefundisa abako-Israyeli bonke njalo ababevele behlukaniselwe uThixo wathi: “Bekani ibhokisi lesivumelwano elingcwele ethempelini elakhiwa nguSolomoni indodana kaDavida inkosi yako-Israyeli. Akumelanga libe lithwalwa ngamahlombe enu. Khathesi khonzani uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu labantu bakhe bako-Israyeli.
And he said to the Levites (those teaching *Q(K)*) all Israel holy to Yahweh put [the] ark of holiness in the house which he built Solomon [the] son of David [the] king of Israel not [will belong] to you a burden on the shoulder now serve Yahweh God your and people his Israel.
4 Hlanganani ngezindlu zenu langezigaba zenu, kusiya ngeziqondiso ezalotshwa nguDavida inkosi yako-Israyeli kanye loSolomoni indodana yakhe.
(And prepare *Q(K)*) to [the] house of ancestors your according to divisions your by [the] writing of David [the] king of Israel and by [the] writing of Solomon son his.
5 Manini endaweni engcwele leqembu labaLevi kuzozonke izigaba ngezindlu zezihlobo zenu, kube ngabemuli.
And stand in the holy place to [the] divisions of [the] house of the ancestors of countrymen your [the] sons of the people and a division of [the] house of an ancestor for the Levites.
6 Hlabani amawundlu ePhasika, lizihlambulule lilungisele izihlobo zenu lenze njengokutsho kwelizwi likaThixo ngoMosi.”
And slaughter the passover and consecrate yourselves and prepare for countrymen your to do according to [the] word of Yahweh by [the] hand of Moses.
7 UJosiya wanika abantu makhaza bonke ababekhona izimvu lembuzi eziyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu zomnikelo wePhasika, kanye lenkomo eziyizinkulungwane ezintathu, zonke zingezayo inkosi.
And he contributed Josiah for [the] sons of the people flock[s] of lambs and [the] young of goats everything for the passovers for every [one who] was found to [the] number of thirty thousand and cattle three thousand these [were] from [the] property of the king.
8 Izikhulu zakhe lazo zapha ngokuzinikela ebantwini zapha labaphristi labaLevi. UHilikhiya, loZakhariya loJehiyeli, abaphrofethi bethempeli likaNkulunkulu, bapha abaphristi iminikelo yePhasika engamakhulu angamatshumi amabili lesithupha lenkomo ezingamakhulu amathathu.
And officials his to a freewill offering for the people for the priests and for the Levites they contributed Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel [the] officers of [the] house of God to the priests they gave for the passovers two thousand and six hundred and cattle three hundred.
9 Abanye abapha kanye loKhenaniya loShemaya, loNethaneli, abafowabo, kanye loHashabhiya, loJeyiyeli, loJozabhadi, abakhokheli babaLevi, bapha okomnikelo wePhasika izinkulungwane ezinhlanu kanye lenkomo ezingamakhulu amahlanu ezabaLevi.
(And Konaniah *Q(k)*) and Shemaiah and Nethanel brothers his and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad [the] leaders of the Levites they contributed for the Levites for the passovers five thousand and cattle five hundred.
10 Inkonzo yalungiswa kwathi abaphristi bema ezindaweni zabo labaLevi ezigabeni zabo ngeziqondiso zenkosi.
And it was arranged the service and they took their stand the priests at place their and the Levites on divisions their according to [the] command of the king.
11 Amawundlu ePhasika ahlatshwa, abaphristi bemukela igazi bachela ngalo, abaLevi ngalesosikhathi babehlinza.
And they slaughtered the passover and they sprinkled the priests from hand their and the Levites [were] skinning [them].
12 Babeka eceleni iminikelo yokutshiswa ukuze banike izigaba ngezigaba zezimuli zabantu ukuze banikele kuThixo, njengokulotshiweyo eGwalweni lukaMosi. Benza okufaneleyo lasenkomeni.
And they put aside the burnt offering[s] to give them to [the] divisions of [the] house of ancestors of [the] sons of the people to bring near to Yahweh according to [what] is written in [the] scroll of Moses and thus for the cattle.
13 Bosa izinyamazana zePhasika emlilweni njengokulaywa kwabo, babilisa iminikelo engcwele ezimbizeni, ezindengezini lasemapaneni baphanga bakuphakela abantu.
And they cooked the passover in the fire according to the ordinance and the holy offerings they boiled in pots and in kettles and in pans and they brought [them] quickly to all [the] children of the people.
14 Ngemva kwalokho, bazilungisela okwabo ndawonye lokwabaphristi, ngoba abaphristi, abayinzalo ka-Aroni, babephathekile ngeminikelo yokutshiswa kanye leyamahwahwa kwaze kwaba kusihlwa. Ngakho abaLevi bazilungisela okwabo lokwabaphristi abangabendlu ka-Aroni.
And after they prepared for themselves and for the priests for the priests [the] descendants of Aaron [were] in offering up the burnt offering[s] and the fat until night and the Levites they prepared for themselves and for the priests [the] descendants of Aaron.
15 Abahlabeleli, abenzalo ka-Asafi, babesezindaweni ezaqanjwa nguDavida, lo-Asafi, loHemani kanye loJeduthuni umboni wenkosi. Abalindi bamasango esangweni linye ngalinye akuzange kudingeke ukuthi basuke ezindaweni zabo, ngoba abaLevi abayizihlobo zabo babebalungisele okwabo.
And the singers [the] descendants of Asaph [were] at post their according to [the] command of David and Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun [the] seer of the king and the gatekeepers [were] to a gate and a gate not [belonged] to them to turn aside from on service their for relatives their the Levites they prepared for them.
16 Ngakho ngalesosikhathi umsebenzi kaThixo wenzelwa ukugcinwa kwePhasika lokunikelwa kweminikelo yokutshiswa e-alithareni likaThixo, njengoba inkosi uJosiya yayitshilo.
And it was arranged all [the] service of Yahweh on the day that to observe the passover and to offer up burnt offerings on [the] altar of Yahweh according to [the] command of the king Josiah.
17 Abako-Israyeli ababekhona bathakazelela iPhasika ngalesosikhathi njalo bathakazelela uMkhosi weSinkwa esingelaMvubelo okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
And they observed [the] people of Israel who were found the passover at the time that and [the] festival of the unleavened bread seven days.
18 IPhasika lalingazange ligcinwe ngalindlela ko-Israyeli kusukela ngezinsuku zomphrofethi uSamuyeli; njalo kayikho leyodwa inkosi yako-Israyeli eyayike yathakazelela iPhasika elinjengaleli elenziwa nguJosiya, labaphristi, labaLevi labo bonke abakoJuda labako-Israyeli ababelapho labantu baseJerusalema.
And not it had been observed a passover like it in Israel since [the] days of Samuel the prophet and any kings of Israel - not they had observed like the passover which he observed Josiah and the priests and the Levites and all Judah and Israel which was found and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 LeliPhasika lathakazelelwa ngomnyaka wetshumi lasificaminwembili mibili wokubusa kukaJosiya.
In eight-teen year of [the] reign of Josiah it was observed the passover this.
20 Ngemva kwakho konke lokhu uJosiya eseqondisile konke ngeThempeli, uNekho inkosi yaseGibhithe wayahlasela iKharikhemishi eYufrathe, uJosiya waphuma ukuyadibana laye empini.
After all this when he had prepared Josiah the house he came up Necho [the] king of Egypt to do battle at Carchemish on [the] Euphrates and he went out to meet him Josiah.
21 Kodwa uNekho wamthumela amanxusa esithi, “Kulokuxabana bani phakathi kwami lawe, we nkosi yakoJuda? Phela angihlaseli wena khathesi, ngihlaselana laleyondlu engilwa layo impi. UNkulunkulu ungitshele ukuba ngiphangise; wena mana ungaphikisani loNkulunkulu, yena olami, funa akubhubhise.”
And he sent to him messengers - saying - what? [is] to me and to you O king of Judah not on you you this day for against [the] house of battle my and God he has said to hurry I cease yourself from God who [is] with me and may not he destroy you.
22 Kodwa uJosiya kazange amyekele, wazifihla ukuze abe sempini. Kazange alalele akutshelwa nguNekho kuvela kuNkulunkulu kodwa laye wayakulwa emagcekeni aseMegido.
And not he turned round Josiah face his away from him for to fight against him he disguised himself and not he listened to [the] words of Necho from [the] mouth of God and he went to do battle in [the] valley of Megiddo.
23 Abatshoki bayiciba inkosi uJosiya, yatshela izikhulu zayo yathi, “Ngisusani lapha, sengilimele kakubi.”
And they shot arrows the archers to the king Josiah and he said the king to servants his take away me for I have been wounded exceedingly.
24 Ngakho bamethula enqoleni yakhe yokulwa, bamfaka kweyinye ayelayo bamusa eJerusalema, lapho afela khona. Wangcwatshwa emathuneni abokhokho bakhe, bonke abakoJuda labako-Israyeli bamlilela.
And they took away him servants his from the chariot and they made ride him on [the] chariot of second which [belonged] to him and they brought him Jerusalem and he died and he was buried in [the] graves of ancestors his and all Judah and Jerusalem [were] mourning on Josiah.
25 UJeremiya laye waloba isililo ngoJosiya, njalo kuze kube lamuhla abahlabeleli bonke abesilisa labesifazane lokhu behaya isililo ngoJosiya. Lokhu kulila kwaba ngumkhuba ko-Israyeli njalo kubhaliwe eZililweni.
And he made a lament Jeremiah on Josiah and they have said all the male singers - and the female singers in lamentations their on Josiah until this day and they made them into a decree on Israel and there they [are] written on the lamentations.
26 Ezinye izehlakalo ngokubusa kukaJosiya lezinye izenzo zokuzinikela kwakhe, mayelana lokulotshiweyo eMthethweni kaThixo
And [the] rest of [the] matters of Josiah and covenant loyalti his according to [what] is written in [the] law of Yahweh.
27 zonke izehlakalo, kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekuphetheni, kulotshiwe egwalweni lwamakhosi ako-Israyeli lakoJuda.
And matters his former and latter there they [are] written on [the] scroll of [the] kings of Israel and Judah.
