2 Mga Cronica 35

1At ipinagdiwang ni Josias ang isang paskua sa Panginoon sa Jerusalem; at kanilang pinatay ang kordero ng paskua, sa ikalabing apat na araw ng unang buwan. 2At inilagay niya ang mga saserdote sa kanilang mga katungkulan, at pinatapang sila sa paglilingkod sa bahay ng Panginoon. 3At sinabi niya sa mga Levita na nangagturo sa buong Israel, na mga banal sa Panginoon, Ilagay ninyo ang banal na kaban sa bahay na itinayo ni Salomon na anak ni David na hari sa Israel; hindi na magkakaroon pa ng pasan sa inyong mga balikat. Maglingkod kayo ngayon sa Panginoon ninyong Dios, at sa kaniyang bayang Israel; 4At magsihanda kayo ayon sa mga sangbahayan ng inyong mga magulang ayon sa inyong mga bahagi, ayon sa sulat ni David na hari sa Israel, at ayon sa sulat ni Salomon sa kaniyang anak. 5At magsitayo kayo sa dakong banal ayon sa mga bahagi ng mga sangbahayan ng mga magulang ng inyong mga kapatid na mga anak ng bayan, at maukol sa bawa't isa'y isang bahagi ng sangbahayan ng mga magulang ng mga Levita. 6At patayin ninyo ang kordero ng paskua, at mangagpakabanal kayo, at ihanda ninyo sa inyong mga kapatid, upang magsigawa ng ayon sa salita ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni Moises. 7At si Josias ay nagbigay sa mga anak ng bayan, buhat sa kawan, ng mga kordero at ng mga anak ng kambing, lahat ng yaon ay mga pinakahandog sa paskua, sa lahat na nakaharap, sa bilang na tatlong pung libo, at tatlong libo na baka: ang mga ito'y mga pag-aari ng hari. 8At ang kaniyang mga prinsipe ay nangagbigay ng pinakakusang handog sa bayan, sa mga saserdote, at sa mga Levita. Si Hilcias at si Zacharias at si Jehiel, na mga pinuno sa bahay ng Dios, nangagbigay sa mga saserdote ng mga pinakahandog sa paskua, na dalawang libo at anim na raang tupa at kambing, at tatlong daang baka. 9Si Chonanias naman, at si Semeias, at si Nathanael, na kaniyang mga kapatid, at si Hasabias at si Jehiel at si Josabad, na mga pinuno ng mga Levita, nangagbigay sa mga Levita ng mga pinakahandog sa paskua, na limang libong tupa at kambing, at limang daang baka. 10Sa gayo'y ang paglilingkod ay nahanda, at ang mga saserdote ay nagsitayo sa kanilang dako, at ang mga Levita ayon sa kanilang mga bahagi, ayon sa utos ng hari. 11At kanilang pinatay ang kordero ng paskua, at iwinisik ng mga saserdote ang dugo, na tinangnan nila sa kanilang kamay, at mga nilapnusan ng mga Levita. 12At kanilang ibinago ang mga handog na susunugin, upang kanilang ipamigay ayon sa mga bahagi ng mga sangbahayan ng mga magulang ng mga anak ng bayan, upang ihandog sa Panginoon, gaya ng nasusulat sa aklat ni Moises. At gayon ang ginawa nila sa mga baka. 13At kanilang inihaw ang kordero ng paskua, sa apoy ayon sa ayos: at ang mga banal na handog ay niluto sa mga palayok, at sa mga kaldera, at sa mga kawali, at pinagdadalang madali sa lahat na anak ng bayan. 14At pagkatapos ay nangaghanda sila sa kanilang sarili, at sa mga saserdote; sapagka't ang mga saserdote na mga anak ni Aaron ay nangasa paghahandog ng mga handog na susunugin at ng taba hanggang sa kinagabihan: kaya't ang mga Levita ay nangaghanda sa kanilang sarili, at sa mga saserdote na mga anak ni Aaron. 15At ang mga mangaawit na mga anak ni Asaph, ay nangasa kanilang dako, ayon sa utos ni David, at ni Asaph, at ni Heman, at ni Jeduthun na tagakita ng hari; at ang mga tagatanod-pinto ay nangasa bawa't pintuang-daan: sila'y hindi nangagkakailangang magsialis sa kanilang paglilingkod; sapagka't ipinaghanda sila ng kanilang mga kapatid na mga Levita. 16Sa gayo'y ang lahat na paglilingkod sa Panginoon ay nahanda nang araw ding yaon, upang ipagdiwang ang paskua, at upang maghandog ng mga handog na susunugin sa ibabaw ng dambana ng Panginoon, ayon sa utos ng haring Josias. 17At ang mga anak ni Israel na nangakaharap ay nangagdiwang ng paskua nang panahong yaon, at ng kapistahan ng tinapay na walang lebadura na pitong araw. 18At hindi nagkaroon ng paskua na gaya ng ipinagdiwang na yaon sa Israel mula sa mga araw ni Samuel na propeta; ni nagdiwang man ang sinoman sa mga hari sa Israel ng gayong paskua na gaya ng ipinagdiwang ni Josias, at ng mga saserdote, at ng mga Levita, at ng buong Juda at Israel na nangakaharap, at ng mga taga Jerusalem. 19Nang ikalabing walong taon ng paghahari ni Josias ay ipinagdiwang ang paskuang ito. 20Pagkatapos ng lahat ng ito, nang maihanda ni Josias ang templo, si Nechao na hari sa Egipto ay umahon upang makipaglaban sa Carchemis sa siping ng Eufrates: at si Josias ay lumabas laban sa kaniya. 21Nguni't siya'y nagsugo ng mga sugo sa kaniya, na ipinasasabi, Anong aking ipakikialam sa iyo, ikaw na hari sa Juda? ako'y hindi naparirito laban sa iyo sa araw na ito, kundi laban sa sangbahayan na kinakalaban ko: at iniutos sa akin ng Dios na ako'y magmamadali: iwan mo ang pakikialam sa Dios, na nasa akin nga, upang huwag ka niyang lipulin. 22Gayon ma'y hindi itinalikod ni Josias ang kaniyang mukha sa kaniya, kundi nagpakunwaring iba, upang siya'y makipaglaban sa kaniya, at hindi dininig ang salita ni Nechao, na mula sa bibig ng Dios, at naparoong nakipaglaban sa libis ng Megiddo. 23At pinana ng mga mamamana si Josias: at sinabi ng hari sa kaniyang mga lingkod, Ilabas ninyo ako; sapagka't ako'y nasugatan ng mabigat. 24Sa gayo'y inalis siya ng kaniyang mga lingkod sa karo, at inilagay siya sa ikalawang karo, na kaniyang dala, at dinala siya sa Jerusalem; at siya'y namatay, at nalibing sa mga libingan ng kaniyang mga magulang. At ang buong Juda at Jerusalem ay tumangis kay Josias. 25At tinaghuyan ni Jeremias si Josias: at ang lahat na mangaawit na lalake at babae ay nagsipanambitan tungkol kay Josias sa kanilang mga panaghoy, hanggang sa araw na ito; at sila'y nagsigawa ng alituntunin sa Israel; at, narito, nangasusulat sa mga panaghoy. 26Ang iba nga sa mga gawa ni Josias, at ang kaniyang mga mabuting gawa, ayon sa nasusulat sa kautusan ng Panginoon, 27At ang kaniyang mga gawa, na una at huli, narito, nangasusulat sa aklat ng mga hari sa Israel at Juda.

1Josiah kept a Passover to Yahweh in Jerusalem: and they killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. 2He set the priests in their offices, and encouraged them to the service of Yahweh’s house. 3He said to the Levites who taught all Israel, who were holy to Yahweh, “Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built. There shall no more be a burden on your shoulders. Now serve Yahweh your God, and his people Israel. 4Prepare yourselves after your fathers’ houses by your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son. 5Stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of your brothers the children of the people, and let there be for each a portion of a fathers’ house of the Levites. 6Kill the Passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to Yahweh’s word by Moses.” 7Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and young goats, all of them for the Passover offerings, to all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls: these were of the king’s substance. 8His princes gave for a freewill offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of God’s house, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small livestock, and three hundred head of cattle. 9Conaniah also, 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 livestock, and five hundred head of cattle. 10So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their divisions, according to the king’s commandment. 11They killed the Passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood which they received of their hand, and the Levites flayed them. 12They removed the burnt offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of the children of the people, to offer to Yahweh, as it is written in the book of Moses. So they did with the cattle. 13They roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance: and the holy offerings boiled they in pots, and in cauldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of the people. 14Afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests, because the priests the sons of Aaron were busy with offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night: therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron. 15The singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the porters were at every gate: they didn’t need to depart from their service; for their brothers the Levites prepared for them. 16So all the service of Yahweh was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover, and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of Yahweh, according to the commandment of king Josiah. 17The children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days. 18There was no Passover like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did any of the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 19In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this Passover kept. 20After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him. 21But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, “What have I to do with you, you king of Judah? I come not against you this day, but against the house with which I have war. God has commanded me to make haste. Beware that it is God who is with me, that he not destroy you.” 22Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and didn’t listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo. 23The archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, because I am seriously wounded!” 24So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah. 25Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel: and behold, they are written in the lamentations. 26Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in Yahweh’s law, 27and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

1Daarna hield Josia het pascha den HEERE te Jeruzalem; en zij slachtten het pascha op den veertienden der eerste maand. 2En hij stelde de priesteren op hun wachten; en hij sterkte hen tot den dienst van het huis des HEEREN. 3En hij zeide tot de Levieten, die gans Israel onderwezen, die den HEERE heilig waren: Zet de heilige ark in het huis, hetwelk Salomo, de zoon van David, de koning van Israel, gebouwd heeft; gij hebt geen last op de schouderen; dient nu den HEERE, uw God, en Zijn volk Israel; 4En bereidt u naar de huizen uwer vaderen, naar uw verdelingen, naar het voorschrift van David, den koning van Israel, en naar de beschrijving van zijn zoon Salomo; 5En staat in het heiligdom, naar de onderscheiding der vaderlijke huizen, voor uw broederen, het volk, en naar de afdeling van de vaderlijke huizen der Levieten; 6En slacht het pascha, en heiligt u, en bereidt dat voor uw broederen, doende naar het woord des HEEREN, door de hand van Mozes. 7En Josia gaf voor het volk, van klein vee, lammeren en jonge geitenbokken, die alle tot paasofferen, naar al hetgeen er gevonden werd, in getal dertig duizend; maar van runderen drie duizend; dit was van des konings have. 8Ook gaven zijn vorsten tot een vrijwillig offer voor het volk, voor de priesteren, en voor de Levieten; Hilkia, en Zacharia, en Jehiel, de oversten van het huis Gods, gaven den priesteren tot paasofferen, twee duizend en zeshonderd klein vee, en driehonderd runderen. 9Daartoe Chonanja, en Semaja, en Nethaneel, zijn broeders, mitsgaders Hasabja, en Jeiel, en Jozabad, de oversten der Levieten, gaven den Levieten tot paasofferen, vijf duizend klein vee en vijfhonderd runderen. 10Alzo werd de dienst toebereid; en de priesteren stonden in hun standplaats, en de Levieten in hun verdelingen, naar het gebod des konings. 11Daarna slachtte men het pascha, en de priesters sprengden het bloed uit hun handen, en de Levieten trokken de huiden af. 12En zij namen het brandoffer daar af, opdat zij die naar de verdelingen der vaderlijke huizen, aan het volk geven mochten, om den HEERE te offeren, gelijk geschreven is in het boek van Mozes; en alzo met de runderen. 13En zij kookten het pascha bij het vuur, naar het recht; maar de andere heilige dingen kookten zij in potten, en in ketels, en in pannen; en zij deelden het haastelijk onder al het volk. 14Daarna bereidden zij ook voor zichzelven en voor de priesteren; want de priesters, de zonen van Aaron, waren tot aan den nacht in het offeren der brandofferen en des vets; daarom bereidden de Levieten voor zichzelven, en voor de priesteren, de zonen van Aaron. 15En de zangers, de zonen van Asaf, waren in hun standplaats, naar het gebod van David, en Asaf, en Heman, en Jeduthun, den ziener des konings, mitsgaders de poortiers aan elke poort; zij behoefden niet te wijken van hun dienst, overmits hun broeders, de Levieten, voor hen bereidden. 16Alzo werd de ganse dienst des HEEREN op denzelfden dag beschikt, om pascha te houden, en brandofferen op het altaar des HEEREN te offeren, naar het gebod van den koning Josia. 17En de kinderen Israels, die er gevonden werden, hielden het pascha ter zelfder tijd, en het feest der ongezuurde broden, zeven dagen. 18Daar was ook geen pascha als dat in Israel gehouden, van de dagen van Samuel, den profeet, af; en geen koningen van Israel hadden zulk een pascha gehouden, gelijk dat Josia hield met de priesters en de Levieten, en gans Juda en Israel, dat er gevonden werd, en de inwoners van Jeruzalem. 19In het achttiende jaar van het koninkrijk van Josia, werd dit pascha gehouden. 20Na dit alles, toen Josia het huis toebereid had, toog Necho, de koning van Egypte, op, om te krijgen tegen Karchemis, aan den Frath; en Josia toog uit hem tegemoet. 21Toen zond hij boden tot hem, zeggende: Wat heb ik met u te doen, gij, koning van Juda? Wat u aangaat, ik ben heden tegen u niet, maar tegen een huis, dat oorlog voert tegen mij; en God heeft gezegd, dat ik mij haasten zou; houd u af van God, Die met mij is, opdat Hij u niet verderve. 22Doch Josia keerde zijn aangezicht niet van hem; maar hij verstelde zich, om tegen hem te strijden, en hoorde niet naar de woorden van Necho uit den mond van God; maar hij kwam om te strijden in het dal Megiddo. 23En de schutters schoten den koning Josia. Toen zeide de koning tot zijn knechten: Voert mij weg, want ik ben zeer gewond. 24En zijn knechten namen hem weg van den wagen, en voerden hem op den tweeden wagen, dien hij had, en brachten hem te Jeruzalem; en hij stierf, en werd begraven in de graven zijner vaderen; en gans Juda en Jeruzalem bedreven rouw over Josia. 25En Jeremia maakte een klaaglied over Josia; desgelijks alle zangers en zangeressen spraken in hun klaagliederen van Josia, tot op dezen dag; want zij gaven ze tot een inzetting in Israel; en ziet, zij zijn geschreven in de klaagliederen. 26Het overige nu der geschiedenissen van Josia, en zijn goeddadigheden, naar dat geschreven is in de wet des HEEREN; 27Zijn geschiedenissen dan, de eerste en de laatste, ziet, die zijn geschreven in het boek der koningen van Israel en van Juda.
