2 Chronicles 35
1 Now Josiah kept the Passover to the Lord in Jerusalem, and it was immolated on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Ary Josia nitandrina ny Paska tany Jerosalema ho an’ i Jehovah; dia namono ny Paska ny olona tamin’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana voalohany.
2 And he appointed the priests in their offices, and he exhorted them to minister in the house of the Lord.
Ary Josia nanendry ny mpisorona ho amin’ ny anjara-raharahany avy ka namporisika azy hanao ny fanompoana ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
3 Also, he spoke with the Levites, by whose instruction all of Israel was sanctified to the Lord, saying: “Place the ark in the sanctuary of the temple, which Solomon, the son of David, the king of Israel, built. For never again shall you carry it. Instead, now you shall minister to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel.
Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny Levita izay mpampianatra ny Isiraely rehetra sady efa masìna ho an’ i Jehovah: Apetraho ao an-trano nataon’ i Solomona, zanak’ i Davida, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, ny fiara masìna; fa izao dia efa tsy milanja azy intsony ianareo; koa manompoa an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo sy ny Isiraely olony;
4 And prepare yourselves by your houses and families, within each division, just as David, the king of Israel, instructed, and just as his son Solomon has written.
ary samia miomana araka ny fianakavianareo avy ianareo, dia araka ny antokonareo, araka ny voasoratr’ i Davida, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, sy araka ny voasoratr’ i Solomona zanany koa.
5 And minister in the sanctuary, by the Levitical families and companies.
Ary mitsangàna eo amin’ ny fitoerana masìna araka ny fizaran’ ny fianakavian’ ny rahalahinareo amin’ ny vahoaka sy araka ny fizaran’ ny fianakavian’ ny Levita.
6 And having been sanctified, immolate the Passover. And then prepare your brothers, so that they may be able to act in accord with the words which the Lord has spoken by the hand of Moses.”
Dia vonoy ny Paska, sady hamasino ny tenanareo, ka manamboara ho an’ ny rahalahinareo, hanaovana araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nampilazainy an’ i Mosesy.
7 After this, Josiah gave to all the people, those who had been found there at the solemnity of the Passover, thirty thousand lambs and young goats from the flocks, and other kinds of small cattle, and also three thousand oxen. All these were from the substance of the king.
Ary ny vahoaka izay vory teo dia nomen’ i losia zanak’ ondry sy zanak’ osy, telo alina no isany hatao Paska avokoa ireo sy omby telo arivo; avy tamin’ ny fananan’ ny mpanjaka ireo.
8 Also, his rulers offered what they had vowed freely, as much for the people as for the priests and Levites. Moreover, Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Jehiel, rulers of the house of the Lord, gave to the priests, in order to observe the Passover, two thousand six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.
Ary ny mpanapaka nanome an-tsitrapo ho an’ ny olona sy ho an’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita. Ary Hilkia sy Zakaria sy Jehiela, mpanapaka ny tranon’ Andriamanitra, nanome ondry aman’ osy enin-jato amby roa arivo ho an’ ny mpisorona hatao Paska ary omby telon-jato.
9 And Conaniah, with Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, indeed also Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, rulers of the Levites, gave to the rest of the Levites, in order to celebrate the Passover, five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.
Ary Konania sy Semaia sy Netanela rahalahiny ary Hasabia sy Jeiela sy Jozabada, lehiben’ ny Levita, nanome ondry aman’ osy dimy arivo ho an’ ny Levita hatao Paska ary omby dimam-jato.
10 And the ministry was prepared. And the priests stood in their office, and the Levites also stood in their companies, according to the order of the king.
Koa dia vonona ny zavatra; ary ny mpisorona nitsangana teo amin’ ny fitoerany avy, ary ny Levita araka ny antokony avy, araka ny didin’ ny mpanjaka.
11 And the Passover was immolated. And the priests sprinkled the blood with their hand, and the Levites drew away the pelts of the holocausts.
Dia novonoin’ ny olona ny Paska, ary natopin’ ny mpisorona ny rà teny an-tànany, dia vao nohodiran’ ny Levita kosa.
12 And they put these aside, so that they might give them to each one, by their houses and families, and so that they might be offered to the Lord, just as it was written in the book of Moses. And with the oxen, they acted similarly.
Dia natokany ny fanatitra dorana homen’ ny olona araka ny fizaran’ ny fianakaviany, mba hateriny ho an’ i Jehovah araka izay voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ i Mosesy. Ary toy izany koa tamin’ ny omby.
13 And they roasted the Passover above fire, in accord with what was written in the law. Yet truly, the victims of peace offerings they boiled in cauldrons and kettles and pots. And they promptly distributed these to all the common people.
Ary ny Paska natsatsika tamin’ ny afo araka ny fanao; fa ny zava-masìna kosa nandrahoiny tao anaty vilany sy vilanibe ary kasiteronina, dia nozarainy faingana tamin’ ny olona rehetra izany.
14 Then afterward, they made preparations for themselves and for the priests. Indeed, the priests had been occupied in the oblations of the holocausts and the fat offerings, even until night. Therefore, the Levites made preparations for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron, last.
Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nanamboatra io an’ ny tenany sy ny mpisorona izy; fa ny mpisorona, taranak’ i Arona, nanatitra ny fanatitra dorana sy ny saborany mandra-pahalin’ ny andro; fa ny Levita kosa nanamboatra ny Paska ho an’ ny tenany sy ny mpisorona, taranak’ i Arona.
15 Now the singers, the sons of Asaph, were standing in their order, according to the instruction of David, and of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the prophets of the king. Truly, the porters kept watch at each gate, so as not to depart from their ministry even for one moment. And for this reason, their brothers, the Levites, prepared foods for them.
Ary ny mpihira, taranak’ i Asafa, nitoetra teo amin’ ny fitoerany, araka ny didin’ i Davida sy Asafa sy Hemana ary Jedotona, mpahitan’ ny mpanjaka, ary ny mpiandry varavarana dia teo amin’ ny isam-bavahady; fa tsy afaka niala tamin’ ny fanompoany ireo, ka ny Levita rahalahiny no nanamboatra ho azy.
16 And so, the entire worship ritual of the Lord was completed on that day, so that they observed the Passover and offered holocausts upon the altar of the Lord, in accord with the precept of king Josiah.
Ary dia vonona androtrizay avokoa ny hatao fanompoana an’ i Jehovah amin’ ny hitandremana ny Paska sy ny hanaterana ny fanatitra dorana eo ambonin’ ny alitaran’ i Jehovah araka ny tenin’ i Josia mpanjaka.
17 And the sons of Israel, who had been found there, kept the Passover at that time, with the solemnity of unleavened bread, for seven days.
Ary ny Zanak’ isiraely izay vory teo dia nitandrina ny paska fahizay sy ny andro firavoravoana hafitoana fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira.
18 There was no Passover similar to this one in Israel, from the days of Samuel the prophet. And neither did anyone, out of all the kings of Israel, keep such a Passover as did Josiah, the priests and Levites, and all those of Judah and Israel who had been found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Fa tsy nisy Paska notandremana toy izany teo amin’ ny Isiraely na dia hatramin’ ny andron’ i Samoela mpaminany aza; ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely rehetra tsy nisy nitandrina ny Paska tahaka izay nataon’ i Josia sy ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ary ny Joda rehetra sy ny Isiraely izay vory teo ary ny mponina tany Jerosalema.
19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah, this Passover was celebrated.
Tamin’ ny taona fahavalo ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Josia no nitandremana izany Paska izany.
20 After Josiah had repaired the temple, Neco, the king of Egypt, ascended to fight at Carchemish, beside the Euphrates. And Josiah went out to meet him.
Ary rehefa afaka izany rehetra izany, nony efa namboarin’ i Josia ny tempoly, dia niakatra Neko, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, hiady tany Karkemisy eo amoron’ i Eofrata; ary Josia nivoaka hiady aminy.
21 But he sent messengers to him, saying: “What is there between me and you, O king of Judah? I have not come against you today. Instead, I am fighting against another house, to which God instructed me to go promptly. Refrain from acting against God, who is with me, otherwise he may kill you.”
Fa Neko naniraka olona ho any aminy hanao hoe: Moa mifaninona akory izaho sy ianao, ry mpanjakan’ ny Joda? Tsy ady aminao izao anio izao, fa amin’ ny fahavaloko, sady nasain’ Andriamanitra handeha faingana aho; koa aza manohitra an’ Andriamanitra Izay momba ahy, fandrao matiny ianao.
22 Josiah was not willing to return. Instead, he prepared for war against him. Neither would he agree to the words of Neco from the mouth of God. In truth, he traveled so that he might do battle in the field of Megiddo.
Fa Josia tsy nety nihodina niala taminy, fa nody olon-kafa mba hiady taminy ka tsy nety nihaino ny tenin’ i Neko, izay nampilazain’ Andriamanitra azy, fa nandeha hiady taminy ihany teo amin’ ny lohasahan’ i Megido.
23 And there, having been wounded by archers, he said to his servants: “Lead me away from the battle. For I have been severely wounded.”
Ary ny mpandefa tsipìka nahavoa an’ i Josia mpanjaka; dia hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ ny mpanompony: Ento miala eto aho; fa voa mafy aho.
24 And they took him from the chariot, into another chariot which was following him, as was the custom of kings. And they transported him to Jerusalem. And he died, and he was buried in the mausoleum of his fathers. And all of Judah and Jerusalem mourned for him,
Dia nesorin’ ny mpanompony tamin’ izany kalesy izany izy, ka napetrany teo amin’ ny kalesiny faharoa ary nentiny ho any Jerosalema; dia maty izy ka nalevina tao am-pasan-drazany. Ary ny Joda sy Jerosalema rehetra dia nisaona an’ i Josia.
25 most of all Jeremiah. All the singing men and women repeat his lamentations over Josiah, even to the present day. And this has become like a law in Israel. Behold, it is found written in the Lamentations.
Ary Jeremia dia nanao hira fisaonana an’ i Josia, ary ny mpihiralahy sy ny mpihiravavy rehetra dia mahatsiahy an’ i Josia mandraka androany, raha manao hira fisaonana, ka nataony fanao teo amin’ ny Isiraely izany; ary, indro, efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny fihirana fisaonana izany.
26 Now the rest of the words of Josiah, and his mercies, which were instructed by the law of the Lord,
Ary ny tantaran’ i Josia sisa mbamin’ ny soa nataony, araka izay efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalàn’ i Jehovah,
27 and also his works, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
dia ny asany voalohany sy farany, indro, efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely sy ny Joda izany.
