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.

And Josiah kept a Passover to the Lord in Jerusalem; on the fourteenth day of the first month they put the Passover lamb to death.

2 Ó sì yàn àwọn àlùfáà sí iṣẹ́ wọn, ó sì gbà wọ́n ní ìyànjú ní ìsìn ilé Olúwa.

And he gave the priests their places, making them strong for the work of the house of God.

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.

And he said to the Levites, the teachers of all Israel, who were holy to the Lord, See, the holy ark is in the house which Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel, made; it will no longer have to be transported on your backs: now be the servants of 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.

And make yourselves ready in your divisions, by your families, as it is ordered in the writings of David, king of Israel, and of 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.

And take your positions in the holy place, grouped in the families of your brothers, the children of the people, and for every division let there be a part of a family 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.”

And put the Passover lamb to death, and make yourselves holy, and make it ready for your brothers, so that the orders given by the Lord through Moses may be done.

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.

And Josiah gave lambs and goats from the flock as Passover offerings for all the people who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand oxen: these were from the king's private property.

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.

And his captains freely gave an offering to the people, the priests, and the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand, six hundred small cattle and three hundred oxen.

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.

And Conaniah and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small cattle and five hundred oxen.

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 everything was made ready and the priests took their places with the Levites in their divisions, as the king had said.

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 put the Passover lambs to death, the blood being drained out by the priests when it was given to them, and the Levites did the skinning.

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.

And they took away the burned offerings, so that they might give them to be offered to the Lord for the divisions of the families of the people, as it is recorded in the book of Moses. And they did the same with the oxen.

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.

And the Passover lamb was cooked over the fire, as it says in the law; and the holy offerings were cooked in pots and basins and vessels, and taken quickly 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.

And after that, they made ready for themselves and for the priests; for the priests, the sons of Aaron, were offering the burned offerings and the fat till night; so the Levites made ready what was needed for themselves and for the priests, the sons 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.

And the sons of Asaph, the makers of melody, were in their places, as ordered by David and Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the king's seer; and the door-keepers were stationed at every door: there was no need for them to go away from their places, for their brothers the Levites made ready 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 everything needed for the worship of the Lord was made ready that same day, for the keeping of the Passover and the offering of burned offerings on the altar of the Lord, as King Josiah had given orders.

17 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí ó gbé kalẹ̀ ṣe ìrántí àjọ ìrékọjá ní àkókò náà àti àjọ àkàrà àìwú fún ọjọ́ méje.

And all the children of Israel who were present kept the Passover and the feast of unleavened bread at that time 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 Passover like it had been kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; and not one of the kings of Israel had ever kept a Passover like the one kept by Josiah and the priests and the Levites and all those of Judah and Israel 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 the rule of Josiah this Passover was kept.

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, and after Josiah had put the house in order, Neco, king of Egypt, went up to make war at Carchemish by the river Euphrates; and Josiah went out against 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 he sent representatives to him, saying, What have I to do with you, O king of Judah? I have not come against you this day, but against those with whom I am at war; and God has given me orders to go forward quickly: keep out of God's way, for he is with me, or he will send destruction on 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.

However, Josiah would not go back; but keeping to his purpose of fighting against him, and giving no attention to the words of Neco, which came from God, he went forward to the fight in the valley 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.”

And the bowmen sent their arrows at King Josiah, and the king 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 the line of war-carriages, and put him in his second carriage and took him to Jerusalem, where he came to his end, and they put his body in the resting-place of his fathers. And in all Judah and Jerusalem there was great weeping for Josiah.

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.

And Jeremiah made a song of grief for Josiah; and to this day Josiah is named by all the makers of melody, men and women, in their songs of grief; they made it a rule in Israel; and the songs are recorded among the songs of grief.

26 Ìyókù iṣẹ́ ìjọba Josiah àti ìwà rere rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí èyí tí a ti kọ sínú ìwé òfin Olúwa.

Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and the good he did, in keeping with what is recorded 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.

And all his acts, first and last, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
