2 Chronicles 35
1 Moreover Josiah kept a passover to the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Yosia dii Awurade Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ Yerusalem na wokum Twam guamma no wɔ ɔsram a edi kan no da a ɛto so dunan.
2 And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD,
Yosia maa asɔfo no kɔɔ wɔn nnwuma so, na ɔhyɛɛ wɔn nkuran wɔ wɔn dwumadi mu wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ.
3 And said to the Levites that taught all Israel, who were holy to the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel,
Ɔhyɛɛ Lewifo a wɔayi wɔn asi hɔ sɛ wɔnsom Awurade, na wɔyɛ akyerɛkyerɛfo wɔ Israel no se, “Esiane sɛ mprempren Apam Adaka no wɔ Salomo Asɔredan mu, na ɛho nhia sɛ mobɛsoa wɔ mo mmati so de adi akɔneaba nti, momfa mo mmere nsom Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn ne ne nkurɔfo Israel.
4 And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.
Monkɔ mo nnwuma so sɛnea mo agyanom mmusua nkyekyɛmu no te, ne sɛnea Israelhene Dawid ne ne babarima Salomo ahyɛde a wɔakyerɛw no kyerɛ.
5 And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites.
“Munnyinagyina kronkronbea a wɔayi ama mo no, na mommoa mmusua a wɔde wɔn ahyɛ mo nsa no bere a wɔde wɔn afɔre aba Asɔredan mu no.
6 So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
Munkum Twam nguamma no, na munnwira mo ho, na mommoa wɔn a wɔbɛba no. Ahyɛde biara a Awurade nam Mose so de mae no, munni so.”
7 And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand cattle: these were of the king’s substance.
Na Yosia fii nea ɔwɔ mu, maa nguantenmma ne mmirekyimma mpem aduasa ne anantwinini mpem abiɛsa sɛ nnipa no Twam afɔrebɔde.
8 And his princes gave willingly to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.
Ɔhene no mpanyimfo nso fi wɔn pɛ mu boaa ɔmanfo, asɔfo ne Lewifo no. Hilkia, Sakaria ne Yehiel a wɔyɛ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no ho mpanyimfo nso maa asɔfo no nguantenmma ne mmirekyimma mpem abien ne ahansia ne anantwinini ahaasa sɛ Twam afɔrebɔde.
9 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave to the Levites for passover offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.
Lewifo ntuanofo Kenania ne ne nuanom mmarima Semaia, Netanel, Hasabia, Yeiel ne Yosabad maa Lewifo nguantenmma ne mmirekyimma mpem anum ne anantwinini ahannum sɛ wɔn Twam afɔrebɔde.
10 So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king’s commandment.
Bere a Twam Afahyɛ no ho ahosiesie baa awiei no, asɔfo ne Lewifo no gyinagyinaa wɔn afa sɛnea ɔhene no ahyehyɛ ama akuwakuw no.
11 And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed them.
Lewifo no kunkum Twam nguamma no, na wɔde mogya no maa asɔfo no, na wɔde petee afɔremuka no so bere a na Lewifo no regua mmoa no.
12 And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer to the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.
Wɔkyekyɛɛ ɔhyew afɔrebɔde no maa ɔmanfo no sɛnea wɔn mmusua nkyekyɛmu no te, na wɔatumi de abɔ afɔre ama Awurade, sɛnea mmara a wɔakyerɛw agu Mose nhoma no mu no kyerɛ. Saa ara na wɔyɛɛ anantwinini no nso.
13 And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the other holy offerings they boiled in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the people.
Wɔtotoo Twam nguamma no sɛnea wɔakyerɛ no, na wɔnoaa afɔrebɔde kronkron no wɔ nkuku, dadesɛn ne nkankyee mu de baa ntɛm so sɛnea ɔmanfo no betumi awe.
14 And afterwards they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
Akyiri no, Lewifo yɛɛ wɔn ne asɔfo no aduan, efisɛ na asɔfo no ayɛ adwuma fi anɔpa kosi anadwo a wɔrebɔ ɔhyew afɔre no na wɔrehyew srade no. Saa ahosiesie yi nyinaa, Lewifo no na wogye too wɔn ho so yɛe.
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 waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
Asaf asefo nnwom ho nimdefo no nso, na wɔwɔ wɔn nnwuma so, sɛnea Dawid, Asaf, Heman ne Yedutun, ɔhene adehuni no kyerɛɛ wɔn no. Aponanohwɛfo no wɛn apon no a na ɛho nhia sɛ wofi wɔn nnwuma so, efisɛ na wɔn mfɛfo Lewifo no de wɔn nnuan kɔma wɔn wɔ hɔ.
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.
Awurade Twam Afahyɛ no baa awiei da no. Wɔbɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre no nyinaa wɔ Awurade afɔremuka no so, sɛnea ɔhene Yosia hyɛe no.
17 And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
Israelfo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem de nnanson dii Twam ne Apiti Afahyɛ no.
18 And there was no passover like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all 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.
Efi odiyifo Samuel bere so no, wonnii Twam sɛɛ da. Israel ahemfo no mu biara mpo anni Twam sɛnea Yosia yɛe a ɔmaa asɔfo, Lewifo, ɔmanfo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem ne nnipa a wofi Yuda ne Israel nyinaa bɛkaa ho.
19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.
Wodii saa Twam Afahyɛ yi wɔ Yosia ahenni mfirihyia dunwɔtwe so.
20 After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Carchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.
Yosia siesiee Asɔredan no wiei no, Misraimhene Neko dii nʼakofo anim fii Misraim, sɛ wɔrebɛko wɔ Karkemis wɔ asu Eufrate ano. Na Yosia ne nʼakofo nso sii mu sɛ wɔne no rekɔko.
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 with which I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he may not destroy thee.
Nanso ɔhene Neko tuu abɔfo de nkra yi kɔmaa Yosia: “Dɛn na wo Yudahene hwehwɛ afi me nkyɛn? Me ne wo nni akasakasa nnɛ! Nea mehwehwɛ ne sɛ, me ne ɔman a matu ne so sa no bɛko. Na Onyankopɔn aka akyerɛ me se, menyɛ no ntɛm. Ntwintwan Onyankopɔn a ɔka me ho no anan mu, anyɛ saa a ɔbɛsɛe wo.”
22 Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not to the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
Nanso Yosia antie Neko a Onyankopɔn akasa akyerɛ no ampa ara no, annan nʼani. Mmom, odii nʼakofo anim kɔkoo wɔ Megido tataw so. Ɔworɔw nʼahentade no guu nkyɛn baabi sɛnea atamfo no renhu no.
23 And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Take me away; for I am grievously wounded.
Nanso atamfo agyantowfo no tow bɛmma ma ɛwɔɔ ɔhene Yosia, piraa no. Ɔteɛɛ mu frɛɛ ne mmarima se, “Momfa me mfi akono ha, efisɛ mapira pira bɔne.”
24 His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
Enti woyii Yosia fii ne teaseɛnam mu, de no too teaseɛnam foforo mu. Na wɔde no kɔɔ Yerusalem, na ɛhɔ na owui. Wosiee no hɔ wɔ adehye amusiei. Na Yuda ne Yerusalem nyinaa yɛɛ no ayi.
25 And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women have spoken of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.
Odiyifo Yeremia too kwadwom maa Yosia, na ebesi nnɛ yi, nnwontofo to saa kwadwom a ɛfa ne wu no ho no. Saa kwadwom yi abɛyɛ amanne a wɔakyerɛw ahyɛ Kwadwom Nhoma mu.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that which was written in the law of the LORD,
Yosia ahenni ho nsɛm nkae ne nʼahofama sɛnea Awurade mmara te no,
27 And his deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
fi mfiase kosi awiei no, wɔakyerɛw agu Israel ne Yuda Ahemfo Nhoma mu.
