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, in Jerusalem, a passover unto Yahweh, —and they slaughtered the passover, on the fourteenth of the first month.

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

And he set the priests over their charges, —and encouraged them unto the service of the house of Yahweh;

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 said to the Levites who gave instruction to all Israel as to the things which were hallowed unto Yahweh, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon son of David king of Israel did build, it is not yours as a burden on the shoulder, —Now, serve ye Yahweh 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 prepare yourselves by your ancestral houses, according to your courses, —by the writing of David king of Israel, and by what hath been written by 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 stand ye in the holy place, by the divisions of the ancestral house, for your brethren, the sons of the people, and the partitioning of an ancestral house, for 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.”

So slaughter ye the passover, —and hallow yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, that they may do according to the word of Yahweh, by the hand of 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.

And Josiah presented to the sons of the people—of flocks, young sheep and the young of the goats, the whole for the passover offerings, for all present, to the number of thirty thousand, and, of bullocks, three thousand, —these, out of the substance of the king.

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 rulers, willingly, to the people and to the priests and to the Levites, presented, —Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, chief rulers of the house of God, unto the priests, did give, for passover offerings, two thousand and six hundred, and, of bullocks, three hundred;

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 brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, rulers of the Levites, presented to the Levites, for passover offerings, five thousand, and, of bullocks, five hundred.

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.

Thus was the service prepared, —and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the commandment of the king.

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.

So they slaughtered the passover, and the priests dashed [the blood received] at their hand, and the Levites were flaying [the offerings].

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.

Then they removed the ascending-sacrifice, that they might give them—by the divisions of each ancestral house—unto the sons of the people, to offer unto Yahweh, as it is written in the Book of Moses, —and, in like manner, with the bullocks.

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 they cooked the passover with fire, according to the regulation, —but, the hallowed things, cooked they in cauldrons and in pots and in bowls, and then took quickly, unto all the sons of 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, afterwards, prepared they for themselves and for the priests, because, the priests, the sons of Aaron, had been engaged in offering up the ascending-sacrifice and the fat pieces, until night, —the Levites, therefore prepared 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.

the singers also, the sons of Asaph, were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the seer of the king, and, the doorkeepers, were at the several doors, —there was no need for them to remove from their service, for, their brethren the Levites, prepared 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.

Thus was all the service of Yahweh prepared on that day; to keep the passover, and to offer up the ascending-sacrifice, upon the altar of Yahweh, —according to the commandment 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.

So the sons of Israel who were present kept the passover at that time, —and the festival of unleavened cakes, 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.

And there had not been kept, a passover like it, in Israel, since the days of Samuel the prophet, —yea, none of the kings of Israel, had kept such a passover as was kept by Josiah and the priests and the Levites and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

19 Àjọ ìrékọjá yìí ni a ṣe ìrántí ní ọdún kejìdínlógún ìjọba Josiah.

In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah, was kept this passover.

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 prepared the house, Neco king of Egypt came up, -to fight against Carchemish, by Euphrates, and Josiah went forth 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 unto him messengers, saying—What have I to do with thee, O king of Judah? not against thee, [have I come] this day, but against the house wherewith I have war, and, God, hath given word to speed me, —cease thou from [provoking] God who is with me, lest he destroy thee.

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.

Howbeit Josiah turned not his face from him, for, to fight against him, he had disguised himself, and he hearkened not unto the words of Neco, from the mouth of God, —so he came to 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 archers shot at King Josiah, —and the king said unto his servants, Take me away, for I am sore 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 away out of the war-chariot, and conveyed him in a second chariot which he had, and carried him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in the sepulchres of his fathers, —and, all Judah and Jerusalem, were mourning over 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 chanted a dirge over Josiah, and all the singing men and singing women in their dirges have spoken concerning Josiah, until this day, and they appointed them by statute for Israel, —and, there they are, written among the dirges.

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

But, the rest of the story of Josiah, and his lovingkindness, —according to that which is written in the law of Yahweh:

27 Gbogbo iṣẹ́ náà, láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ títí dé òpin ni a kọ sínú ìwé àwọn ọba Israẹli àti Juda.

even his story, first and last, there it is, written in the book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
