2 Chronicles 35
1 Síwájú sí i, Josiah ṣe ìrántí àjọ ìrékọjá sí Olúwa ní Jerusalẹmu, Ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn àjọ ìrékọjá náà ni wọ́n sì pa ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá oṣù kìn-ín-ní.
Then Josiah celebrated the Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem, and the Passover lamb was slaughtered on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 Ó sì yàn àwọn àlùfáà sí iṣẹ́ wọn, ó sì gbà wọ́n ní ìyànjú ní ìsìn ilé Olúwa.
He appointed the priests to their duties and encouraged them in the service of the house of the LORD.
3 Ó sì wí fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi, ẹni tí ń kọ́ gbogbo àwọn Israẹli ẹni tí a ti yà sí mímọ́ fún Olúwa pé ẹ gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí ìyàsọ́tọ̀ sí ilé Olúwa tí Solomoni ọmọ Dafidi ọba Israẹli ti kọ́. Kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ ẹrù àgbéká ní èjìká rẹ̀. Nísinsin yìí ẹ sin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ Israẹli.
To the Levites who taught all Israel and were holy to the LORD, Josiah said: “Put the holy ark in the temple built by Solomon son of David king of Israel. It is not to be carried around on your shoulders. Now serve the LORD your God and His people Israel.
4 Ẹ múra sílẹ̀ nípa ìdílé ní ẹsẹẹsẹ yín gẹ́gẹ́ bí àpẹẹrẹ tí a kọ́ láti ọwọ́ Dafidi ọba Israẹli àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọmọ rẹ̀ Solomoni.
Prepare yourselves by families in your divisions, according to the instructions written by David king of Israel and Solomon his son.
5 “Dúró ní ibi mímọ́ pẹ̀lú àkójọpọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Lefi fún ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan ìpín àwọn ìdílé àwọn ẹgbẹ́ ará ìlú, àwọn ènìyàn tí ó dùbúlẹ̀.
Moreover, stand in the Holy Place by the divisions of the families of your kinsmen the lay people, and by the divisions of the families of the Levites.
6 Ẹ pa ẹran àjọ ìrékọjá náà, ẹ ya ara yín sọ́tọ̀ kí ẹ sì pèsè ẹran fún àwọn ẹgbẹ́ arákùnrin yín, kí ẹ sì ṣe ohun tí Olúwa paláṣẹ láti ọwọ́ Mose.”
Slaughter the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves, and make preparations for your fellow countrymen to carry out the word of the LORD given by Moses.”
7 Josiah sì pàṣẹ fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí ó dùbúlẹ̀ tí ó wà níbẹ̀ iye rẹ̀ jẹ ẹgbàá mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn àti ọmọ ewúrẹ́ fún ẹbọ ìrékọjá, àti pẹ̀lú ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta akọ màlúù, gbogbo wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ohun ìní láti ọ̀dọ̀ ọba.
From his own flocks and herds Josiah contributed 30,000 lambs and goats plus 3,000 bulls for the Passover offerings for all the people who were present.
8 Àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ fi tinútinú ta àwọn ènìyàn náà ní ọrẹ àti àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ọmọ Lefi. Hilkiah, Sekariah àti Jehieli, àti àwọn olórí ilé Ọlọ́run, fún àwọn àlùfáà ní ẹgbẹ̀tàlá ẹbọ àjọ ìrékọjá àti ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ẹran ọ̀sìn.
His officials also contributed willingly to the people and priests and Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the administrators of the house of God, gave the priests 2,600 Passover offerings and 300 bulls.
9 Àti pẹ̀lú Konaniah àti pẹ̀lú Ṣemaiah àti Netaneli, àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, àti Haṣabiah, Jeieli àti Josabadi olórí àwọn ọmọ Lefi, ó sì pèsè ẹgbẹ̀rún márùn-ún ẹbọ ìrékọjá àti ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀ta orí ẹran ọ̀sìn fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi.
Additionally, Conaniah and his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, as well as Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, officers of the Levites, donated to the Levites 5,000 Passover offerings and 500 bulls.
10 Nítorí náà, a múra ìsìn náà sílẹ̀, àwọn àlùfáà sì dúró ní ipò wọn pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ Lefi nípa iṣẹ́ wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba ti pa á láṣẹ.
So the service was prepared; the priests stood in their places and the Levites in their divisions according to the king’s command.
11 Ní ti àjọ ìrékọjá a sì pa ẹran, àwọn àlùfáà sì wọ́n ẹ̀jẹ̀ náà tí wọ́n gbé sí ọwọ́ wọn, nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Lefi sì bọ ẹranko.
And they slaughtered the Passover lambs, while the priests sprinkled the blood handed to them and the Levites skinned the animals.
12 Wọ́n sì ya àwọn ẹbọ sísun sí apá kan láti fi wọ́n fún gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín àwọn ìdílé àwọn ènìyàn láti rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ sínú ìwé Mose. Wọ́n sì ṣe bákan náà pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn.
They set aside the burnt offerings to be given to the divisions of the families of the people to offer to the LORD, as is written in the Book of Moses; and they did the same with the bulls.
13 Wọ́n sì fi sun àjọ ìrékọjá lórí iná gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlànà, wọ́n sì bọ ẹbọ mímọ́ nínú ìkòkò, nínú ọpọ́n àti nínú agbada, wọ́n sì pín wọn kíákíá fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn.
They roasted the Passover animals on the fire according to the regulation, and they boiled the other holy offerings in pots, kettles, and bowls and quickly brought them to all the people.
14 Lẹ́yìn èyí, wọ́n sì múra sílẹ̀ fún ara wọn àti fún àwọn àlùfáà nítorí àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ọmọ Aaroni, ni wọ́n rú ẹbọ sísun àti ọ̀rá títí di àṣálẹ́. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọmọ Lefi sì múra sílẹ̀ fún ara wọn àti fún àwọn ọmọ Aaroni àlùfáà.
Afterward, they made preparations for themselves and for the priests, since the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were offering up burnt offerings and fat until nightfall. So the Levites made preparations for themselves and for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
15 Àwọn akọrin, àwọn ọmọ Asafu, ni wọ́n wà ní ipò wọn tí a sì paláṣẹ fún wọn láti ọwọ́ Dafidi, Asafu, Hemani àti Jedutuni àwọn aríran ọba àti àwọn olùṣọ́nà ní olúkúlùkù ẹnu-ọ̀nà kò gbọdọ̀ fi ojú ọ̀nà wọn sílẹ̀, nítorí àwọn ẹgbẹ́ ọmọ lefi ti múra sílẹ̀ fún wọn.
The singers, the descendants of Asaph, were at their stations according to the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer. And the gatekeepers at each gate did not need to leave their position, because their fellow Levites made preparations for them.
16 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àsìkò náà gbogbo àwọn ìsìn Olúwa ni wọ́n gbé jáde fún iṣẹ́ ìrántí àjọ ìrékọjá àti láti rú ẹbọ sísun lórí pẹpẹ Olúwa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba Josiah ti pa á láṣẹ.
So on that day the entire service of the LORD was carried out for celebrating the Passover and offering burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD, according to the command of King Josiah.
17 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí ó gbé kalẹ̀ ṣe ìrántí àjọ ìrékọjá ní àkókò náà àti àjọ àkàrà àìwú fún ọjọ́ méje.
The Israelites who were present also observed the Passover at that time, as well as the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days.
18 Àjọ ìrékọjá náà kò sì tí ì sí èyí tí ó dàbí i rẹ̀ ní Israẹli títí dé ọjọ́ wòlíì Samuẹli, kò sì sí ọ̀kan lára àwọn ọba Israẹli tí ó pa irú àjọ ìrékọjá bẹ́ẹ̀ mọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí Josiah ti ṣe, pẹ̀lú àwọn àlùfáà àwọn ọmọ Lefi àti gbogbo àwọn Juda àti Israẹli tí ó wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu.
No such Passover had been observed in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet. None of the kings of Israel ever observed a Passover like the one that Josiah observed with the priests, the Levites, all Judah, the Israelites who were present, and the people of Jerusalem.
19 Àjọ ìrékọjá yìí ni a ṣe ìrántí ní ọdún kejìdínlógún ìjọba Josiah.
In the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign, this Passover was observed.
20 Lẹ́yìn gbogbo èyí nígbà tí Josiah ti tún ilẹ̀ náà ṣetán, Neko ọba Ejibiti gòkè lọ láti bá Karkemiṣi jà lórí odo Eufurate, Josiah sì jáde lọ láti pàdé rẹ̀ ní ibi ìjà.
After all this, when Josiah had set the temple in order, Neco king of Egypt marched up to fight at Carchemish by the Euphrates, and Josiah went out to confront him.
21 Ṣùgbọ́n Neko rán ìránṣẹ́ sí i wí pé, “Ìjà wo ni ó ń bẹ láàrín èmi àti ìwọ, ọba Juda? Kì í ṣe ìwọ ni èmi tọ̀ wá ní àkókò yìí, ṣùgbọ́n, ilé pẹ̀lú èyí ti mo bá níjà. Ọlọ́run ti sọ fún mi láti yára àti láti dúró nípa ṣíṣe ìdènà Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí ó wà pẹ̀lú mi, kí òun má bá a pa ọ́ run.”
But Neco sent messengers to him, saying, “What is the issue between you and me, O king of Judah? I have not come against you today, but I am fighting another dynasty. God told me to hurry; so stop opposing God, who is with me, or He will destroy you!”
22 Josiah, kò yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ó pa ara rẹ̀ dà kí ó le bá a jà, kó sì fi etí sí ọ̀rọ̀ Neko láti ẹnu Ọlọ́run wá, ó sì wá jagun ní àfonífojì Megido.
Josiah, however, did not turn away from him; instead, in order to engage him in battle, he disguised himself. He did not listen to Neco’s words from the mouth of God, but went to fight him on the Plain of Megiddo.
23 Tafàtafà sì ta ọfà sí ọba Josiah, ó sì sọ fún àwọn ìjòyè pé, “Ẹ gbé mi kúrò, èmi ti gba ọgbẹ́ gidigidi.”
There the archers shot King Josiah, who said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am badly wounded!”
24 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì gbé e jáde kúrò nínú kẹ̀kẹ́ náà, wọ́n sì gbé e sínú kẹ̀kẹ́ mìíràn, wọ́n sì gbé e wá sí Jerusalẹmu, níbi tí ó ti kú, wọ́n sì sin ín sínú ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ibojì àwọn baba rẹ̀, gbogbo Juda àti gbogbo Jerusalẹmu sì ṣọ̀fọ̀ Josiah.
So his servants took him out of his chariot, put him in his second chariot, and brought him to Jerusalem, where he died. And Josiah was buried in the tomb of his fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for him.
25 Jeremiah sì pohùnréré ẹkún fún Josiah, gbogbo àwọn akọrin ọkùnrin àti gbogbo àwọn akọrin obìnrin sì ń sọ ti Josiah nínú orin ẹkún wọn ní Israẹli títí di òní. Èyí sì di àṣà ní Jerusalẹmu, a sì kọ ọ́ sínú àwọn orin ẹkún.
Then Jeremiah lamented over Josiah, and to this day all the choirs of men and women sing laments over Josiah. They established them as a statute for Israel, and indeed they are written in the Book of Laments.
26 Ìyókù iṣẹ́ ìjọba Josiah àti ìwà rere rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí èyí tí a ti kọ sínú ìwé òfin Olúwa.
As for the rest of the acts of Josiah, along with his deeds of loving devotion according to what is written in the Law of the LORD—
27 Gbogbo iṣẹ́ náà, láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ títí dé òpin ni a kọ sínú ìwé àwọn ọba Israẹli àti Juda.
his acts from beginning to end—they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
