“Rũgamai handũ harĩa hatheru mũrĩ na gĩkundi kĩa Alawii, kĩrũgamĩrĩire o gakundi ka nyũmba cia andũ a bũrũri wanyu arĩa matarĩ Alawii.
6 Urayai makwayana ePasika muzvinatse mugadzirire makwayana kuitira hama dzenyu, muchiita zvakarayirwa naJehovha kubudikidza naMozisi.”
Thĩnjai tũtũrũme twa Bathaka, mwĩamũre na mũhaarĩrie tũtũrũme tũu nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a bũrũri wanyu, mwĩke ũrĩa Jehova aathanire na kanua ka Musa.”
7 Josia akapa vamwe vanhu vose vakanga varipo makwai nembudzi zvaisvika zviuru makumi matatu sezvipiriso zvePasika, uyewo nemombe zviuru zvitatu, zvose izvi zvakabva mupfuma yamambo.

8 Machinda ake akapawo nokuda kwavo kuvanhu nokuvaprista navaRevhi. Hirikia, Zekaria naJehieri, mutariri mukuru wetemberi yaMwari akapa vaprista zvipiriso zviuru zviviri namazana matanhatu nemombe mazana matatu.
Anene ake o nao nĩmarutĩire andũ, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, o na Alawii indo meyendeire. Hilikia, na Zekaria, na Jehieli, arĩa maarĩ arũgamĩrĩri a hekarũ ya Ngai, nĩmaheire athĩnjĩri-Ngai indo 2,600 cia maruta ma Bathaka, na ngʼombe 300.
9 Uyewo Konania pamwe chete naShemaya naNetaneri vanunʼuna vake, naHashabhia, Jeyeri naJozabhadhi, vatungamiri vavaRevhi, vakapa zvipiriso zvePasika zviuru zvishanu nemombe mazana mashanu zvavaRevhi.

10 Nguva yokushumira yakati yarongwa, vaprista vakamira munzvimbo dzavo vaine vaRevhi mumapoka avo sezvakanga zvarayirwa namambo.
Naguo ũtungata ũgĩtabarĩrio, nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩrũgama handũ hao hamwe na Alawii marĩ ikundi-inĩ ciao o ta ũrĩa mũthamaki aathanĩte.
11 Makwayana ePasika akaurayiwa, vaprista vakasasa ropa ravakapiwa, vaRevhi vachivhiya mhuka idzi.
Natuo tũtũrũme twa Bathaka tũgĩthĩnjwo, nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩminjaminja thakame ĩrĩa maanengeretwo, o Alawii magĩthĩnjaga nyamũ icio.
12 Vakaisa parutivi zvipiriso zvinopiswa kuti vazvipe kuzvikamu zvamapoka emhuri dzavanhu kuti vazvipe kuna Jehovha sezvazvakanyorwa mubhuku raMozisi. Vakaita zvimwe chetezvo nemombe.
Nao makĩiga maruta ma njino mwanya nĩguo mamaheane kũrĩ tũkundi twa nyũmba cia andũ, nĩguo marutĩre Jehova, o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ rĩa Musa. Ũguo noguo meekire ũhoro-inĩ wa ngʼombe.
13 Vakagocha mhuka dzePasika pamoto nenzira yakarayirwa, vakabikira zvipiriso zvitsvene muhari, mumakate nomumakango uye vakapa vanhu vose nokukurumidza.
Nao makĩhĩhia nyamũ cia Bathaka mwaki-inĩ, ta ũrĩa gwatuĩtwo, nacio indo cia igongona iria nyamũre igĩtherũkio na nyũngũ, na itengʼũ, o na nyũngũ cia igera, na igĩcooka ikĩgaĩrwo andũ othe o narua.
14 Vapedza izvi, vakatanga kugadzirira zvavo nezvavaprista, nokuti vaprista vezvizvarwa zvaAroni vakabayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa namafuta azvo kusvikira usiku. Saka vaRevhi vakazvigadzirira ivo navaprista vorudzi rwaAroni.
Thuutha wa ũguo magĩĩthondekera o ene, o na magĩthondekera athĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩgũkorwo athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa maarĩ a rũciaro rwa Harũni, nĩmarutaga maruta ma njino na ma maguta nginya hwaĩ-inĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Alawii nĩmethondekeire nyama ciao o ene, na cia athĩnjĩri-Ngai a rũciaro rwa Harũni.
15 Vaimbi, zvizvarwa zvaAsafi, vakanga vari munzvimbo dzakanga dzarayirwa naDhavhidhi, Asafi, Hemani naJedhutuni muoni wamambo. Vachengeti vamasuo pasuo rimwe nerimwe vaisafanira kusiya nzvimbo dzavo nokuti dzimwe hama dzavo vaRevhi vaivagadzirirawo zvavo.
Nao aini a njiaro cia Asafu, maikarĩte o kũndũ kũrĩa kwahaarĩirio nĩ Daudi, na Asafu, na Hemani, na Jeduthuni ũrĩa woonagĩra mũthamaki maũndũ. Nao aikaria a ihingo matiarĩ na gĩtũmi gĩa kuuma harĩa maigĩtwo, nĩgũkorwo Alawii acio a thiritũ yao nĩmamathondekeire indo ciao cia Bathaka.
16 Saka panguva iyoyo basa rose raJehovha rakaitwa kuti vapemberere Pasika nezvipiriso zvinopiswa paaritari yaJehovha sezvakanga zvarayirwa naMambo Josia.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ihinda rĩu ũtungata wothe wa Jehova wa gũkũngũĩra Bathaka na iruta rĩa njino, warutĩirwo kĩgongona-inĩ kĩa Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Mũthamaki Josia aathanĩte.
17 VaIsraeri vakanga varipo vakapemberera Pasika panguva iyoyo vakacherechedza Mutambo weChingwa Chisina Mbiriso kwamazuva manomwe.
Nao andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maarĩ ho magĩkũngũĩra Bathaka ihinda-inĩ rĩu, na makĩgĩa na Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩĩkĩre Ndawa ya Kũimbia kahinda ka mĩthenya mũgwanja.
18 Pasika haina kunge yambocherechedzwa saizvozvi muIsraeri kubva pamazuva omuprofita Samueri; uye hakuna kana mumwe chete pamadzimambo eIsraeri akanga apemberera Pasika sezvakaitwa naJosia navaprista, vaRevhi neJudha yose neIsraeri vakanga varipo navanhu veJerusarema.
Nakuo gũtiagĩte na Gĩathĩ kĩa Bathaka kĩhaana ta kĩu kũu Isiraeli kuuma matukũ-inĩ ma mũnabii Samũeli; na gũtirĩ mũthamaki o na ũmwe wa Isiraeli wakũngũĩire Bathaka ta ũrĩa Josia aamĩkũngũĩire, marĩ hamwe na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Alawii, na andũ othe a Juda na a Isiraeli, o hamwe na andũ a Jerusalemu.
19 Pasika iyi yakapembererwa mugore regumi norusere rokutonga kwaJosia.
Bathaka ĩyo yakũngũĩirwo mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩnana wa wathani wa Josia.
20 Mushure maizvozvi zvose, Josia paakanga agadziridza zvinhu mutemberi, Neko mambo weIjipiti, akakwidza kundorwa naye paKakemishi paYufuratesi, uye Josia akabudawo kundosangana naye kuti varwe.
Thuutha wa maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Josia aakorirwo aigĩte hekarũ na njĩra njega, Neko mũthamaki wa Misiri nĩambatire akarũĩre handũ heetagwo Karikemishi Rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Farati, nake Josia akiumagara akahũũrane nake.
21 Asi Neko akatuma nhume kwaari achiti, “Ibopoto ripiko riripo pakati pangu newe, nhai mambo weJudha? Handina kuuya kuzorwa newe nhasi, asi neimba yandiri kurwisana nayo. Mwari andiudza kuti ndikurumidze; saka mira kurwisana naMwari, ari kurutivi rwangu, kana kuti achakuparadza.”
No Neko akĩmũtũmĩra andũ makamũũrie atĩrĩ, “Tũrĩ na haaro ĩrĩkũ niĩ nawe, wee mũthamaki wa Juda? Tiwe ndĩratharĩkĩra kahinda gaka, no ndĩ na nyũmba ĩrĩa ndĩ na mbaara nayo. Ngai anjĩĩrĩte hiũhe; nĩ ũndũ ũcio tiga gũkararia Ngai, ũrĩa ũrĩ hamwe na niĩ, kana akwanange.”
22 Kunyange zvakadaro Josia haana kubva kwaari asi akazvishandura kuti arwe naye muhondo. Haana kuda kuteerera zvakanga zvataurwa naNeko sokurayira kwaMwari asi akaenda kundorwa naye pabani reMegidho.
No rĩrĩ, Josia ndaigana kũgarũrũka atigane nake, no nĩ kwĩgarũra egarũrire nĩguo ndakamenyeke nĩgeetha akarũe nake. Ndaigana gũthikĩrĩria ũrĩa Neko aathĩtwo nĩ Ngai oige, no nĩathiire kũrũa nake werũ-inĩ wa Megido.
23 Vawemburi vouta vakapfura Mambo Josia, uye iye akati kumachinda ake, “Ndibvisei pano; ndakuvara zvakaipisisa.”
Nao aikia a mĩguĩ makĩratha Mũthamaki Josia nayo, nake akĩĩra ndungata ciake atĩrĩ, “Njeheriai haha nĩ ũndũ nĩndagurario mũno.”
24 Saka vakamutora vakamuburitsa mungoro yake vakamuisa mune imwe ngoro yaakanga anayo, vakauya naye kuJerusarema, kwaakandofira. Akavigwa mumakuva amadzibaba ake, uye Judha yose neJerusarema vakamuchema.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũruta ngaari-inĩ yake ya mbaara, makĩmũhaicia ngaari-inĩ ĩngĩ okĩte nayo, makĩmũtwara Jerusalemu kũrĩa aakuĩrĩire. Nake agĩthikwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ cia maithe make, nao andũ othe a Juda na Jerusalemu makĩmũcakaĩra.
25 Jeremia akanyora dzimbo dzokuchema Josia, uye kusvikira nhasi vaimbi vechirume nevechikadzi vose vanorangarira Josia munziyo idzodzo dzokuchema.
Jeremia nĩandĩkire macakaya makoniĩ Josia, na nginya ũmũthĩ aini othe arũme na andũ-a-nja nĩmaririkanaga Josia macakaya-inĩ macio. Macakaya macio magĩtuĩka mũtugo wa gwĩkagwo thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli, na ũkĩandĩkwo Macakaya-inĩ.
26 Zvimwe zvakaitwa naJosia panguva yokutonga kwake, namabasa okuzvipira kwake maererano nezvakanyorwa mumurayiro waJehovha,
Namo maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Josia na ciĩko ciake cia wĩrutĩri, o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Watho-inĩ wa Jehova,
27 zvose zvaakaita kubva pakutanga kusvikira pakupedzisira zvakanyorwa mubhuku ramadzimambo eIsraeri neJudha.
na nĩmo maũndũ mothe, kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia, maandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa athamaki a Isiraeli na a Juda.
