Ii Paralipomenon 35
1 fecit autem Iosias in Hierusalem phase Domino quod immolatum est quartadecima die mensis primi
And Josiah kept, in Jerusalem, a passover unto Yahweh, —and they slaughtered the passover, on the fourteenth of the first month.
2 et constituit sacerdotes in officiis suis hortatusque est eos ut ministrarent in domo Domini
And he set the priests over their charges, —and encouraged them unto the service of the house of Yahweh;
3 Levitis quoque ad quorum eruditionem omnis Israhel sanctificabatur Domino locutus est ponite arcam in sanctuario templi quod aedificavit Salomon filius David rex Israhel nequaquam enim eam ultra portabitis nunc autem ministrate Domino Deo vestro et populo eius Israhel
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 et praeparate vos per domos et cognationes vestras in divisionibus singulorum sicut praecepit David rex Israhel et descripsit Salomon filius eius
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 ministrate in sanctuario per familias turmasque leviticas
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 et sanctificati immolate phase fratres etiam vestros ut possint iuxta verba quae locutus est Dominus in manu Mosi facere praeparate
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 dedit praeterea Iosias omni populo qui ibi fuerat inventus in sollemnitatem phase agnos et hedos de gregibus et reliqui pecoris triginta milia boumque tria milia haec de regis universa substantia
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 duces quoque eius sponte quod voluerant obtulerunt tam populo quam sacerdotibus et Levitis porro Helcias et Zaccharias et Iehihel principes domus Domini dederunt sacerdotibus ad faciendum phase pecora commixtim duo milia sescenta et boves trecentos
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 Chonenias autem Semeias etiam et Nathanahel fratres eius necnon Asabias et Iahihel et Iozabath principes Levitarum dederunt ceteris Levitis ad celebrandum phase quinque milia pecorum et boves quingentos
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 praeparatumque est ministerium et steterunt sacerdotes in officio suo Levitae quoque in turmis iuxta regis imperium
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 et immolatum est phase asperseruntque sacerdotes manu sua sanguinem et Levitae detraxerunt pelles holocaustorum
So they slaughtered the passover, and the priests dashed [the blood received] at their hand, and the Levites were flaying [the offerings].
12 et separaverunt ea ut darent per domos et familias singulorum et offerrentur Domino sicut scriptum est in libro Mosi de bubus quoque fecere similiter
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 et assaverunt phase super ignem iuxta quod lege praeceptum est pacificas vero hostias coxerunt in lebetis et caccabis et ollis et festinato distribuerunt universae plebi
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 sibi autem et sacerdotibus postea paraverunt nam in oblatione holocaustorum et adipum usque ad noctem sacerdotes fuerant occupati unde Levitae et sibi et sacerdotibus filiis Aaron paraverunt novissimis
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 porro cantores filii Asaph stabant in ordine suo iuxta praeceptum David et Asaph et Heman et Idithun prophetarum regis ianitores vero per portas singulas observabant ita ut ne puncto quidem discederent a ministerio quam ob rem et fratres eorum Levitae paraverunt eis cibos
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 omnis igitur cultura Domini rite conpleta est in die illa ut facerent phase et offerrent holocausta super altare Domini iuxta praeceptum regis Iosiae
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 feceruntque filii Israhel qui repperti fuerant ibi phase in tempore illo et sollemnitatem azymorum septem diebus
So the sons of Israel who were present kept the passover at that time, —and the festival of unleavened cakes, seven days.
18 non fuit phase simile huic in Israhel a diebus Samuhelis prophetae sed nec quisquam de cunctis regibus Israhel fecit phase sicut Iosias sacerdotibus et Levitis et omni Iuda et Israhel qui reppertus fuerat et habitantibus in Hierusalem
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 octavodecimo anno regni Iosiae hoc phase celebratum est
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah, was kept this passover.
20 postquam instauraverat Iosias templum ascendit Nechao rex Aegypti ad pugnandum in Charchamis iuxta Eufraten et processit in occursum eius Iosias
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 at ille missis ad eum nuntiis ait quid mihi et tibi est rex Iuda non adversum te hodie venio sed contra aliam pugno domum ad quam me Deus festinato ire praecepit desine adversum Deum facere qui mecum est ne interficiat te
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 noluit Iosias reverti sed praeparavit contra eum bellum nec adquievit sermonibus Nechao ex ore Dei verum perrexit ut dimicaret in campo Mageddo
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 ibique vulneratus a sagittariis dixit pueris suis educite me de proelio quia oppido vulneratus sum
And the archers shot at King Josiah, —and the king said unto his servants, Take me away, for I am sore wounded.
24 qui transtulerunt eum de curru in alterum currum qui sequebatur eum more regio et asportaverunt in Hierusalem mortuusque est et sepultus in mausoleo patrum suorum et universus Iuda et Hierusalem luxerunt eum
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 Hieremias maxime cuius omnes cantores atque cantrices usque in praesentem diem lamentationes super Iosia replicant et quasi lex obtinuit in Israhel ecce scriptum fertur in Lamentationibus
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 reliqua autem sermonum Iosiae et misericordiarum eius quae lege praecepta sunt Domini
But, the rest of the story of Josiah, and his lovingkindness, —according to that which is written in the law of Yahweh:
27 opera quoque illius prima et novissima scripta sunt in libro regum Israhel et Iuda
even his story, first and last, there it is, written in the book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
