¹Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

¹وعمل يوشيا في اورشليم فصحا للرب وذبحوا الفصح في الرابع عشر من الشهر الاول.

²And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD,

²واقام الكهنة على حراساتهم وشدّدهم لخدمة بيت الرب.

³And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel,

³وقال للاويين الذين كانوا يعلمون كل اسرائيل الذين كانوا مقدسين للرب اجعلوا تابوت القدس في البيت الذي بناه سليمان بن داود ملك اسرائيل. ليس لكم ان تحملوا على الاكتاف. الآن اخدموا الرب الهكم وشعبه اسرائيل.

⁴And 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.

⁴واعدّوا بيوت آبائكم حسب فرقكم حسب كتابة داود ملك اسرائيل وحسب كتابة سليمان ابنه.

⁵And 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.

⁵وقفوا في القدس حسب اقسام بيوت آباء اخوتكم بني الشعب وفرق بيوت آباء اللاويين.

⁶So 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.

⁶واذبحوا الفصح وتقدسوا واعدّوا اخوتكم ليعملوا حسب كلام الرب عن يد موسى.

⁷And 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 bullocks: these were of the king's substance.

⁷واعطى يوشيا لبني الشعب غنما حملانا وجداء جميع ذلك للفصح لكل الموجودين الى عدد ثلاثين الفا وثلاثة آلاف من البقر. هذه من مال الملك.

⁸And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, 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.

⁸ورؤساؤه قدموا تبرعا للشعب والكهنة واللاويين حلقيا وزكريا ويحيئيل رؤساء بيت الله. اعطوا الكهنة للفصح الفين وست مئة ومن البقر ثلاث مئة.

⁹Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for passover offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.

⁹وكوننيا وشمعيا ونثنئيل اخواه وحشبيا ويعيئيل ويوزاباد رؤساء اللاويين قدموا للاويين للفصح خمسة آلاف ومن البقر خمس مئة

¹⁰So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king's commandment.

¹⁰فتهيّأت الخدمة وقام الكهنة في مقامهم واللاويين في فرقهم حسب امر الملك.

¹¹And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed them.

¹¹وذبحوا الفصح ورشّ الكهنة من ايديهم. واما اللاويون فكانوا يسلخون.

¹²And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.

¹²ورفعوا المحرقة ليعطوا حسب اقسام بيوت الآباء لبني الشعب ليقربوا للرب كما هو مكتوب في سفر موسى. وهكذا بالبقر.

¹³And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the other holy offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the people.

¹³وشووا الفصح بالنار كالمرسوم. واما الاقداس فطبخوها في القدور والمراجل والصحاف وبادروا بها الى جميع بني الشعب.

¹⁴And afterward they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.

¹⁴وبعد اعدّوا لانفسهم وللكهنة لان الكهنة بني هرون كانوا على اصعاد المحرقة والشحم الى الليل فاعدّ اللاويون لانفسهم وللكهنة بني هرون.

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵والمغنون بنو آساف كانوا في مقامهم حسب امر داود وآساف وهيمان ويدوثون رائي الملك. والبوابون على باب فباب لم يكن لهم ان يحيدوا عن خدمتهم لان اخوتهم اللاويين اعدّوا لهم.

¹⁶So 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.

¹⁶فتهيّأ كل خدمة الرب في ذلك اليوم لعمل الفصح واصعاد المحرقات على مذبح الرب حسب امر الملك يوشيا.

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

¹⁷وعمل بنو اسرائيل الموجودون الفصح في ذلك اليوم وعيد الفطير سبعة ايام.

¹⁸And there was no passover like to 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.

¹⁸ولم يعمل فصح مثله في اسرائيل من ايام صموئيل النبي. وكل ملوك اسرائيل لم يعملوا كالفصح الذي عمله يوشيا والكهنة واللاويون وكل يهوذا واسرائيل الموجودين وسكان اورشليم.

¹⁹In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.

¹⁹في السنة الثامنة عشر للملك يوشيا عمل هذا الفصح

²⁰After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Charchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.

²⁰بعد كل هذا حين هيّأ يوشيا البيت صعد نخو ملك مصر الى كركميش ليحارب عند الفرات. فخرج يوشيا للقائه.

²¹But 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: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not.

²¹فارسل اليه رسلا يقول ما لي ولك يا ملك يهوذا. لست عليك انت اليوم ولكن على بيت حربي والله امر باسراعي. فكف عن الله الذي معي فلا يهلكك.

²²Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

²²ولم يحوّل يوشيا وجهه عنه بل تنكّر لمقاتلته ولم يسمع لكلام نخو من فم الله بل جاء ليحارب في بقعة مجدو.

²³And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded.

²³واصاب الرماة الملك يوشيا فقال الملك لعبيده انقلوني لاني جرحت جدا.

²⁴His 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.

²⁴فنقله عبيده من المركبة واركبوه على المركبة الثانية التي له وساروا به الى اورشليم فمات ودفن في قبور آبائه. وكان كل يهوذا واورشليم ينوحون على يوشيا.

²⁵And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.

²⁵ورثى ارميا يوشيا. وكان جميع المغنين والمغنيات يندبون يوشيا في مراثيهم الى اليوم. وجعلوها فريضة على اسرائيل. وها هي مكتوبة في المراثي.

²⁶Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that which was written in the law of the LORD,

²⁶وبقية امور يوشيا ومراحمه حسبما هو مكتوب في ناموس الرب

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

²⁷واموره الاولى والاخيرة ها هي مكتوبة في سفر ملوك اسرائيل ويهوذا
