2 Chronicles 35
1 And Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in Jerusalem; and they killed the passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Awo Yosiya n’akwata Embaga ey’Okuyitako mu Yerusaalemi, era ne batta omwana gw’endiga, ogw’Embaga ey’Okuyitako ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye.
2 And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD.
N’alonda bakabona mu bifo eby’obuvunaanyizibwa bwabwe, n’abakuutira mu kuweereza kwabwe mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
3 And he said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, that were holy unto the LORD: 'Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; there shall no more be a burden upon your shoulders; now serve the LORD your God, and His people Israel.
N’agamba Abaleevi abaayigirizanga Isirayiri yenna, era abaali abawonge eri Mukama nti, “Muteeke essanduuko entukuvu mu yeekaalu ya Sulemaani mutabani wa Dawudi, kabaka wa Isirayiri, gye yazimba. Si yaakwetikkanga ku bibegabega byammwe. Kaakano muweereze Mukama Katonda wammwe n’abantu be Isirayiri,
4 And prepare ye after your fathers' houses by your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.
mweteeketeeke ng’ennyumba za bajjajjammwe bwe ziri mu masiga gammwe, nga mugoberera ebiragiro Dawudi kabaka wa Isirayiri ne Sulemaani mutabani we bye yawandiika.
5 And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers' houses of your brethren the children of the people, and let there be for each a portion of a father's house of the Levites.
“Muyimirire awatukuvu mu bibinja eby’Abaleevi eby’ennyumba za bajjajjammwe eza baganda bammwe abantu abaabulijjo.
6 And kill the passover lamb, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, to do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.'
Mutte ennyana n’abaana b’endiga ab’Embaga ey’Okuyitako, mwetukuze, muteekereteekere baganda bammwe, nga mugoberera ebyo Mukama bye yalagira ng’ayita mu Musa.”
7 And Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all of them for the passover-offerings, unto all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks; these were of the king's substance.
Yosiya n’agabira abantu abaabulijjo bonna abaaliwo endiga n’embuzi emitwalo esatu okuba ebiweebwayo olw’Embaga ey’Okuyitako, n’ente enkumi ssatu okuva mu byobugagga bwe.
8 And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover-offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.
Abakungu be nabo, ku bwabwe ne bagabira abantu ne bakabona n’abaleevi ebintu. Kirukiya, ne Zekkaliya ne Yekyeri abaddukanyanga emirimu gya yeekaalu ya Mukama ne bawa bakabona abaana b’endiga n’ab’embuzi enkumi bbiri mu lukaaga, n’ente ebikumi bisatu.
9 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for the passover-offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.
Konaniya, ne Semaaya ne Nesaneri, baganda be, ne Kasabiya ne Yeyeri ne Yozabadi, abakulu b’Abaleevi, nabo ne bawa Abaleevi abaana b’endiga n’ente enkumi ttaano nga by’ebiweebwayo eby’Embaga ey’Okuyitako.
10 So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their courses, according to the king's commandment.
Ne bateekateeka eby’okusinza, bakabona ne bayimirira mu bifo byabwe n’Abaleevi mu bibinja byabwe nga kabaka bwe yalagira.
11 And they killed the passover lamb, and the priests dashed the blood, which they received of their hand, and the Levites flayed them.
Ne batta abaana b’endiga ab’Embaga ey’Okuyitako, bakabona ne bamansira omusaayi gwe baggyanga mu bisolo, Abaleevi bye baabaaganga.
12 And they removed the portions that were to be burnt, that they might give them to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the children of the people, to present unto the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.
Ne baawuula ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa balyoke babigabire abantu abaabulijjo mu bibinja byabwe mu nnyumba za bajjajjaabwe, babiweeyo eri Mukama, nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya Musa. Bwe batyo bwe baakola n’ente.
13 And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance; and the holy offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of the people.
Ne bookya ensolo ez’Embaga ey’Okuyitako mu muliro nga bwe kyawandiikibwa, ne bafumba ebiweebwayo ebitukuvu mu ntamu, ne mu sefuliya ne mu nsaka, n’oluvannyuma ne babigabira mangu buli muntu owabulijjo.
14 And afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests; because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering the portions that were to be burnt and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo Abaleevi ne bakabona ne beeteekerateekera bo ne bakabona kubanga bakabona bazzukulu ba Alooni tebaalina bbanga olw’omulimu ogw’okuwaayo ebiweebwayo n’amasavu gwe baakola okuzibya obudde. Abaleevi kyebaava beeteekerateekera bo ne bakabona batabani ba Alooni.
15 And the 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 needed not to depart from their service, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
N’abayimbi bazzukulu ba Asafu baali mu bifo byabwe nga Dawudi, ne Asafu, ne Kemani ne Yedusuni, omulabi wa kabaka, bwe baalagira. N’abaggazi baali ku buli luggi, nga tebava ku kuweereza kwabwe, kubanga baganda baabwe Abaleevi baabateekerateekera.
16 So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt-offerings upon the altar of the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah.
Bwe kutyo okuweereza kwonna okw’Embaga ey’Okuyitako n’okuwaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ku kyoto kya Mukama bwe kwali, Kabaka Yosiya kwe yalagira.
17 And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
Abayisirayiri abaaliwo mu kiseera ekyo, ne bakwata Embaga ey’Okuyitako, ne bafumba n’embaga ey’Emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse, okumala ennaku musanvu.
18 And there was no passover like to 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 that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Waali tewabangawo Mbaga ya Kuyitako ng’eyo mu Isirayiri okuva mu nnaku za Samwiri nnabbi, nga eyaliwo mu kiseera kya Yosiya, ne bakabona n’Abaleevi, ne Yuda yonna ne Isirayiri abaaliwo, n’abatuuze ba Yerusaalemi.
19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.
Embaga ey’Okuyitako eyo yakwatibwa mu mwaka gwa kkumi na munaana ogw’okufuga kwa Yosiya.
20 After 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.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo byonna, Yosiya ng’amaze okuteekateeka yeekaalu, Neeko kabaka w’e Misiri n’atabaala Kalukemisi ku mugga Fulaati, ne Yosiya n’agenda amutabaale.
21 But he sent ambassadors to him, saying: 'What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war; and God hath given command to speed me; forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that He destroy thee not.'
Naye Neeko n’amutumira ababaka ng’amugamba nti, “Onvunaana ki gwe kabaka wa Yuda? Sitabaala gwe leero, wabula Kalukemisi ggwe nnwana naye, kubanga Katonda andagidde okwanguwa. Noolwekyo toziyiza Katonda, kubanga ali wamu nange. Bw’otoobeerwe anaakuzikiriza.”
22 Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Neco, from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
Naye Yosiya n’atamuwuliriza, ne yeebulizabuliza mu ggye n’agenda okumutabaala. N’atawuliriza bigambo bya Neeko ebyava eri Katonda, naye n’agenda okumulwanyisa mu lusenyi lwa Megiddo.
23 And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants: 'Have me away; for I am sore wounded.'
Abalasi ne balasa kabaka Yosiya n’agamba abaserikale be nti, “Munziggyeewo kubanga nfumitiddwa nnyo.”
24 So 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 sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
Awo ne bamuggya mu ggaali lye ne bamuteeka mu ggaali eddala lye yalina, ne bamuleeta e Yerusaalemi, era eyo gye yafiira. N’aziikibwa mu masiro ga bajjajjaabe. Yuda yonna ne Yerusaalemi ne bamukungubagira.
25 And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah; and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations, unto this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel; and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.
Yeremiya n’ayiiya ennyimba ez’okukungubagira Yosiya, era ne leero abayimbi bonna abasajja n’abakazi bayimba nga bamujjukira mu nnyimba ez’okukungubaga. Ennyimba ezo zaafuuka kijjukizo mu Isirayiri era zawandiikibwa mu kungubaga.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the Law of the LORD,
Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyaliwo mu mirembe gya Yosiya, n’ebikolwa bye ebirungi, nga bwe byawandiikibwa mu tteeka lya Mukama,
27 and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
ne byonna okuva ku ntandikwa ye okutuuka ku nkomerero ye, byawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri ne Yuda.
