1 UJosiya wasesenzela iNkosi iphasika eJerusalema; basebehlaba iphasika ngolwetshumi lane lwenyanga yokuqala.
Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto YHWH in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 Wasemisa abapristi kumfanelo zabo, wabaqinisela inkonzo yendlu yeNkosi.
And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of YHWH,
3 Wasesithi kumaLevi ayefundisa uIsrayeli wonke ayengcwele eNkosini: Fakani umtshokotsho ongcwele endlini uSolomoni indodana kaDavida inkosi yakoIsrayeli ayakhayo; kakusengumthwalo kini emahlombe. Khathesi khonzani iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu labantu bayo uIsrayeli.
And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto YHWH, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now YHWH your Elohim, and his people Israel,
4 Njalo lizilungise ngokwendlu yaboyihlo ngezigaba zenu, njengombhalo kaDavida inkosi yakoIsrayeli lanjengombhalo kaSolomoni indodana yakhe.
And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.
5 Lime endaweni engcwele ngokwezigaba zendlu yaboyise babafowenu, abantwana besizwe, lesigaba sendlu kayise wamaLevi.
And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites.
6 Lihlabe iphasika, lizingcwelise, lilungisele abafowenu, ukwenza njengokwelizwi leNkosi ngesandla sikaMozisi.
So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of YHWH by the hand of Moses.
7 UJosiya wasenika abantwana babantu umhlambi wamawundlu lamazinyane embuzi, konke kungokwamaphasika, kwabo bonke abatholakalayo, ngenani eliyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu, lenkunzi ezizinkulungwane ezintathu; lokhu kwakuvela empahleni yenkosi.
And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king's substance.
8 Iziphathamandla zakhe zasezinika abantu, abapristi lamaLevi ngokukhululeka. OHilikhiya loZekhariya loJehiyeli, izinduna zendlu yeNkosi, banikelela amaphasika kubapristi amazinyane azinkulungwane ezimbili lamakhulu ayisithupha, lenkunzi ezingamakhulu amathathu.
And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of Elohim, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.
9 OKonaniya loShemaya loNethaneli, abafowabo, loHashabhiya loJeyiyeli loJozabadi, izinduna zamaLevi, basebenikelela amaphasika kumaLevi amazinyane azinkulungwane ezinhlanu, lenkunzi ezingamakhulu amahlanu.
Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for passover offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.
10 Ngokunjalo inkonzo yalungiswa; abapristi basebesima endaweni yabo, lamaLevi ngezigaba zawo, njengokomlayo wenkosi.
So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king's commandment.
11 Basebehlaba iphasika, abapristi bafafaza kuvela ezandleni zabo, lamaLevi ahlinza.
And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed them.
12 Basebesusa iminikelo yokutshiswa ukuyinika njengokwezigaba zendlu yaboyise kubantwana babantu ukuze banikele eNkosini, njengokubhaliweyo egwalweni lukaMozisi. Ngokunjalo langezinkunzi.
And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto YHWH, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.
13 Basebesosa iphasika ngomlilo njengokwesimiso; kodwa izinto ezingcwele bazipheka ngamabhodo langezimbiza langezindengezi, bakusa masinyane kubo bonke abantwana babantu.
And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the other holy offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the people.
14 Lemva kwalokho basebezilungisela bona labapristi, ngoba abapristi amadodana kaAroni babesekunikeleni iminikelo yokutshiswa lamahwahwa kwaze kwaba sebusuku; ngakho amaLevi azilungisela wona labapristi amadodana kaAroni.
And afterward they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
15 Labahlabeleli amadodana kaAsafi babesendaweni yabo njengokomlayo kaDavida, loAsafi, loHemani, loJeduthuni umboni wenkosi; labagcini bamasango babesesangweni lonke; kwakungesikwabo ukusuka enkonzweni yabo, ngoba abafowabo amaLevi abalungisela.
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 waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
16 Yasilungiswa yonke inkonzo yeNkosi ngalolosuku ukwenza iphasika lokunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa phezu kwelathi leNkosi, njengokomlayo wenkosi uJosiya.
So all the service of YHWH was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of YHWH, according to the commandment of king Josiah.
17 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli ababekhona basebesenza iphasika ngalesosikhathi, lomkhosi wesinkwa esingelamvubelo, insuku eziyisikhombisa.
And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
18 Njalo kalenziwanga iphasika elinjengaleli koIsrayeli kusukela ensukwini zikaSamuweli umprofethi; lawo wonke amakhosi akoIsrayeli kawenzanga iphasika elinje uJosiya alenzayo, labapristi lamaLevi, loJuda loIsrayeli wonke ababekhona, labahlali beJerusalema.
And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all 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 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lesificaminwembili wokubusa kukaJosiya iphasika leli lenziwa.
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.
20 Emva kwakho konke lokho, uJosiya eseyilungisile indlu, uNeko inkosi yeGibhithe wenyuka ukuyakulwa leKarikemeshi eYufrathi; loJosiya waphuma ukuyamelana laye.
After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Carchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.
21 Kodwa wathuma izithunywa kuye esithi: Ngilani lawe, nkosi yakoJuda? Kangenyukelanga ukumelana lawe wena lamuhla, kodwa ngimelene lendlu elwa lami. Ngoba uNkulunkulu uthe ngiphangise; yekela wena ukuphikisana loNkulunkulu, olami, ukuze angakubhubhisi.
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: for Elohim commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with Elohim, who is with me, that he destroy thee not.
22 Kodwa uJosiya kaphendulanga ubuso bakhe kuye, kodwa wazifihla isimo ukuze alwe laye; njalo kawalalelanga amazwi kaNeko avela emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu, kodwa weza ukulwa esihotsheni seMegido.
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 Necho from the mouth of Elohim, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
23 Abatshoki bemitshoko basebemciba uJosiya; inkosi yasisithi encekwini zayo: Ngisusani ngoba ngizwa ubuhlungu obukhulu.
And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded.
24 Inceku zakhe zasezimkhupha enqoleni, zamgadisa enqoleni yesibili ayelayo, zamletha eJerusalema. Wasesifa, wangcwatshelwa emangcwabeni aboyise; wonke uJuda leJerusalema basebemlilela uJosiya.
His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
25 LoJeremiya wenza isililo ngoJosiya. Labo bonke abahlabeleli labahlabelelikazi bakhuluma ngoJosiya ezililweni zabo kuze kube lamuhla. Bazenza zaba yisimiso koIsrayeli; khangela-ke, zibhaliwe ezililweni.
And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.
26 Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaJosiya, lezisa zakhe njengokubhaliweyo emlayweni weNkosi,
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that which was written in the law of YHWH,
27 izindaba zakhe-ke, ezokuqala lezokucina, khangela, zibhaliwe egwalweni lwamakhosi akoIsrayeli lawakoJuda.
And his deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
