Chronicles II 35

1 And Josias kept a passover to the Lord his God; and sacrificed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

Pea naʻe fai foki ʻe Sosaia ʻa e [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu kia Sihova ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻae Lakaatu ʻi hono [ʻaho ]hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina.

2 And he appointed the priests at their charges, and encouraged them for the services of the house of the Lord.

Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻi honau ngaahi lakanga, ʻo ne tokoni ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngāue ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.

3 And he told the Levites that were able [to act] in all Israel, that they should consecrate themselves to the Lord: and they put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built: and the king said, Ye must not carry anything on your shoulders: now then minister to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki he kau Livai ʻaia naʻe akonakiʻi ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻakinautolu naʻe māʻoniʻoni kia Sihova, “Mou ʻai ʻae puha māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fale naʻe langa ʻe Solomone ko e foha ʻo Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli: ʻe ʻikai ʻai ia ko e kavenga ki homou uma: ko eni mou tauhi ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, mo hono kakai ko ʻIsileli,

4 And prepare yourselves according to the houses of your families, and according to your daily courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and [the order] by the hand of his son Solomon.

Pea teuteu ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ʻo fakatatau ki homou lakanga, ʻo taau mo e tohi ʻa Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, pea hangē ko e tohi ʻa Solomone ko hono foha.

5 And stand ye in the house according to the divisions of the houses of your families for your brethren the sons of the people; [so] also let there be for the Levites a division of the house of their family.

Pea mou tuʻu ʻi he potu māʻoniʻoni ʻo fakatatau mo e vahe ʻoe ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi tamai ʻo homou kāinga ko e kakai, pea taau mo e vahe ʻoe ngaahi fale ʻoe kau Livai.

6 And kill ye the passover, and prepare [it] for your brethren, to do according to the word of the Lord, by the hand of Moses.

Ko ia mou tāmateʻi ʻae Lakaatu, pea fakamāʻoniʻoni ʻakimoutolu, pea teuteu homou ngaahi kāinga, koeʻuhi ke nau fai ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese.”

7 And Josias gave as an offering to the children of the people, sheep, and lambs, and kids of the young of the goats, all for the passover, [even for] all that were found, in number [amounting to] thirty thousand, and three thousand calves, these [were] of the substance of the king.

Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Sosaia ki he kakai, ʻi he fanga manu, ko e fanga lami mo e ʻuhikiʻi kosi, ko e meʻa foaki kotoa pē ki he [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu, maʻae kakai naʻe kātoa, ko e tolu mano, mo e fanga pulu ʻe tolu afe: naʻe ʻomi ʻae meʻa ni mei he koloa ʻae tuʻi.

8 And his princes gave an offering to the people, and to the priests, and to the Levites: and Chelcias and Zacharias and Jeiel the chief men gave to the priests of the house of God, they even gave for the passover sheep, and lambs, and kids, two thousand six hundred, and three hundred calves.

Pea naʻe foaki fiemālie pe ʻe hono houʻeiki ki he kakai, pea ki he kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai: ko Hilikia mo Sakalia mo Sehieli, ko e kau pule ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, naʻa nau foaki ki he kau taulaʻeiki ko e feilaulau ʻi he [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu, ko e fanga manu siʻi ko e ua afe mo e onongeau, mo e fanga pulu ʻe tolungeau.

9 And Chonenias, and Banaeas, and Samaeas, and Nathanael his brother, and Asabias, and Jeiel, and Jozabad, heads of the Levites, gave an offering to the Levites for the passover, of five thousand sheep and five hundred calves.

Pea ko Kononaia foki, mo Simaia mo Netanili, ko hono kāinga, mo Hesapaia mo Sehieli mo Sosapati, ko e kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻoe kau Livai, naʻa nau foaki ki he kau Livai ko e feilaulau ki he [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu, ko e fanga manu siʻi ʻe nima afe, mo e fanga pulu ʻe nimangeau.

10 And the service was duly ordered, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their divisions, according to the command of the king.

Ko ia naʻe teuteu ʻae ngāue, pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻi honau potu, mo e kau Livai ʻi honau lakanga, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻae tuʻi.

11 And they slew the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hand, and the Levites flayed [the victims].

Pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻae Lakaatu, pea naʻe luluku ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae toto mei honau nima, pea naʻe fohifohiʻi ʻae ngaahi manu ʻe he kau Livai.

12 And they prepared the whole-burnt-offering to give to them, according to the division by the houses of families, [even] to the sons of the people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses.

Pea naʻa nau hiki ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, koeʻuhi ke nau foaki ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi vahe ʻoe ngaahi fale nofoʻanga ʻoe kakai, ke ʻatu kia Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ʻa Mōsese. Pea naʻa nau fai pehē pe ki he fanga pulu.

13 And thus [they did] till the morning. And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance; and boiled the holy [pieces] in copper vessels and caldrons, and [the feast] went on well, and they quickly served all the children of the people.

Pea naʻa nau tunu ʻa e [feilaulau ʻoe ]Lakaatu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻo fakatatau ki he tuʻutuʻuni: ka ko hono ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni niʻihi naʻa nau haka ʻi he ngaahi kulo, mo e kulo lahi, mo e ngaahi ipu, pea tufa leva ia ki he kakai kotoa pē.

14 And after they had prepared for themselves and for the priests, for the priests [were engaged] in offering the whole-burnt-offerings and the fat until night, then the Levites prepared for themselves, and for their brethren the sons of Aaron.

Pea hili ia naʻa nau teuteu maʻanautolu, pea maʻae kau taulaʻeiki: koeʻuhi naʻe moʻua ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone ʻi he ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngako, ʻo feʻunga mo e poʻuli: ko ia naʻe teuteu ai maʻanautolu ʻe he kau Livai, pea maʻae kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone.

15 And the sons of Asaph the psalm-singers [were] at their post according to the commands of David, and Asaph, and Aeman, and Idithom, the prophets of the king: also, the chiefs and the porters of the several gates; —it was not for them to stir from the service of the holy things, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

Pea naʻe ʻi honau potu ʻae kau hiva ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻAsafi, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Tevita, mo ʻAsafi, mo Hemoni, mo Situtuni ko e tangata kikite ʻae tuʻi: pea naʻe tali ʻi he matapā ʻae kau leʻo matapā: koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau ʻalu mei heʻenau ngāue: he naʻe teuteuʻi maʻanautolu ʻe honau kāinga ko e kau Livai.

16 So all the service of the Lord was duly ordered and prepared in that day, for keeping the passover, and offering the whole-burnt-sacrifices on the altar of the Lord, according to the command of king Josias.

Pea pehē, naʻe teu ʻae ngāue kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻaho [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu, pea ke ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻae tuʻi ko Sosaia.

17 And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.

Pea naʻe fai ʻa e [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli naʻe ʻi ai, mo e kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻelēvani ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.

18 And there was no passover like it in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet, or any king of Israel: they kept not such a passover as Josias, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Juda and Israel that were present, and the dwellers in Jerusalem, kept to the Lord.

Pea naʻe ʻikai ha [kātoanga ʻoe ]Lakaatu ʻe fai ʻi ʻIsileli ʻo hangē ko ia talu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Samuela ko e palōfita: pea naʻe ʻikai fai ha [kātoanga ʻoe ]Lakaatu ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Sosaia, mo e kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai, mo Siuta kotoa pē mo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻe kātoa, mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema.

19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias this passover was kept, after all these things that Josias did in the house.

Naʻe fai ʻa e [kātoanga ʻoe ]Lakaatu ni ʻi hono hongofulu ma valu ʻoe taʻu ʻae pule ʻa Sosaia.

20 And Pharao Nechao king of Egypt went up against the king of the Assyrians to the river Euphrates, and king Josias went to meet him.

Pea hili ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē, pea ʻosi hono teuʻi ʻae faletapu ʻe Sosaia, naʻe ui hake ʻa Niko ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ke tauʻi ʻa Kalikimisi ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he ʻIufaletisi: pea naʻe ʻalu kituaʻā ʻa Sosaia ke tauʻi ia.

21 And he sent messengers to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, O king of Juda? I am not come to-day to war against thee; and God has told me to hasten: beware of the God that is with me, lest he destroy thee.

Ka naʻa ne fekau ʻae kau tangata fekau kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻeku kau kiate koe, ʻa koe ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta? ʻOku ʻikai te u haʻu ke tauʻi koe he ʻaho ni, ka ki he fale ʻaia ʻoku ou tauʻi: he naʻe fekau au ʻe he ʻOtua ke u fakatoʻotoʻo: ke ke taʻofi koe ke ʻoua naʻa ke fie kau ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate au, telia naʻa ne tāmateʻi koe.”

22 However, Josias turned not his face from him, but strengthened himself to fight against him, and hearkened not to the words of Nechao by the mouth of God, and he came to fight in the plain of Mageddo.

Ka naʻe ʻikai fie kalofaki ʻe Sosaia hono mata meiate ia, ka naʻa ne fakapuli ia, koeʻuhi ke na fai mo ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tokanga ki he ngaahi lea ʻa Niko mei he fofonga ʻoe ʻOtua, ka naʻe haʻu ke tauʻi ia ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Mekito.

23 And the archers shot at king Josias; and the king said to his servants, Take me away, for I am severely wounded.

Pea naʻe fana ʻe he kau fana ki he tuʻi ko Sosaia: pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “ʻAve au mei heni: he kuo u lavea lahi.”

24 And his servants lifted him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot which he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried with his fathers: and all Juda and Jerusalem lamented over Josias.

Ko ia naʻe ʻave ai ia ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki mei he saliote ko ia, pea naʻe tuku ia ki hono ua ʻo ʻene saliote naʻa ne maʻu: pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema, pea pekia ia: pea nau tanu ia ʻi he tanuʻanga ʻe taha ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai. Pea naʻe tangi mamahi ʻa Siuta mo Selūsalema koeʻuhi ko Sosaia.

25 And Jeremias mourned over Josias, and all the chief men and chief women uttered a lamentation over Josias until this day: and they made it an ordinance for Israel, and, behold, it is written in the lamentations.

Pea naʻe tangilāulau ʻa Selemaia koeʻuhi ko Sosaia: pea naʻe kau kia Sosaia ʻae lea ʻae kau tangata hiva kotoa pē mo e kau fefine hiva ʻi heʻenau ngaahi lea tangi ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, pea naʻa nau fokotuʻu ia ko e meʻa fai maʻu ʻi ʻIsileli: pea vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he ngaahi tangilāulau.

26 And the rest of the acts of Josias, and his hope, are written in the law of the Lord.

Pea ko eni, ko hono toe ʻoe ngāue ʻa Sosaia, mo ʻene angalelei, ʻo fakatatau ki ne meʻa naʻe tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova,

27 And his acts, the first and the last, behold, [they are] written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

Pea mo ʻene ngaahi ngāue, ko e ʻuluaki mo e kimui, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli mo Siuta.
