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

¹In Josija je praznoval pasho GOSPODU v Jeruzalemu, in zaklali so velikonočno jagnje štirinajsti dan prvega meseca.

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

²In postavil je duhovnike na njih straže ter jih ohrabril za službo hiše GOSPODOVE.

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,

³In dejal je levitom, ki so učili vsega Izraela, ki so bili sveti GOSPODU: Denite sveto skrinjo v hišo, ki jo je zgradil Salomon, sin Davidov, kralj Izraelov! Ni vam več v breme na rami, zato služite sedaj GOSPODU, Bogu svojemu, in ljudstvu njegovemu, Izraelu.

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.

⁴In pripravite se po svojih očetovskih hišah, po svojih oddelkih, kakor je predpisal David, kralj Izraelov, in kakor je predpisal Salomon, sin njegov.

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.

⁵In stojte v svetišču po vrstah očetovskih hiš bratov svojih, sinov naroda, in sicer vsakikrat en oddelek očetovske hiše levitov.

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.

⁶In zakoljite pasho in posvetite se in pripravite jo za brate svoje, da storite po besedi GOSPODOVI, dani po Mojzesu.

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.

⁷In Josija je podaril sinom naroda drobnice, jagnjet in kozličev, trideset tisoč po številu, vse za daritve pashe vsem, ki so bili pričujoči, in tri tisoč goved; to je bilo od imetja kraljevega.

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.

⁸Njegovi knezi pa so podarili radovoljno ljudstvu, duhovnikom in levitom. Hilkija in Zeharija in Jehiel, poglavarji hiše Božje, so dali duhovnikom za daritve pashe dva tisoč in šeststo glav drobnice in tristo goved.

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.

⁹Konanija pa, Semaja in Netanel, njegova brata, in Hasabija in Jegiel in Jozabad, prvaki levitov, so podarili levitom za daritve pashe pet tisoč glav drobnice in petsto goved.

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

¹⁰In tako je bila služba pripravljena, in duhovniki so stali na mestu svojem, tudi leviti po svojih oddelkih, kakor je bil kralj ukazal.

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

¹¹In zaklali so pasho in duhovniki so škropili kri, prejemajoč jo iz njih roke, in leviti so devali daritve iz kože.

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.

¹²In denejo vstran žgalne daritve, da bi jih porazdelili vrstam očetovskih hiš, sinovom naroda, da jih darujejo GOSPODU, kakor je pisano v knjigi Mojzesovi. In enako store tudi z govedjo.

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.

¹³In pekli so pasho na ognju po predpisu; kar pa je bilo posvečeno, so kuhali v loncih, v kotlih in v ponvah, in hitro to delili vsem sinovom naroda.

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.

¹⁴In potem so pripravili za sebe in za duhovnike; kajti duhovniki, sinovi Aronovi, so imeli opravek z darovanjem žgalščin in tolstine do noči, zato so leviti pripravili zase in za duhovnike, sinove Aronove.

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.

¹⁵In pevci, sinovi Asafovi, so bili na svojem mestu, po zapovedi Davida in Asafa, Hemana in Jedutuna, kraljevega vidca, in vratarji so bili pri vseh vratih, ni jim bilo treba odhajati od svoje službe, ker so njih bratje, leviti, pripravili zanje.

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.

¹⁶Tako je bila tisti dan pripravljena vsa služba GOSPODU, da se praznuje pasha ter da se darujejo žgalne daritve na oltarju GOSPODOVEM, po zapovedi kralja Josija.

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

¹⁷In praznovali so tisti čas sinovi Izraelovi, ki so bili navzočni, pasho in praznik opresnikov sedem dni.

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.

¹⁸In ni se praznovala pasha v Izraelu enaka tej od dni Samuela proroka, tudi noben kraljev Izraelovih ni priredil take pashe, kakor jo je Josija praznoval z duhovniki vred in z leviti in z vsemi Judovimi in z Izraelci, ki so bili pričujoči, in s prebivalci jeruzalemskimi.

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

¹⁹V osemnajstem letu kraljevanja Josijevega se je praznovala ta pasha.

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.

²⁰Po vsem tem, ko je bil kralj Josija spravil v red tempelj, pride gori Neko, kralj egiptovski, da bi se bojeval zoper Karkemiš pri Evfratu; in Josija mu pride nasproti.

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.

²¹On pa mu pošlje poslance in sporoči: Kaj imam s teboj, kralj Judov? Ne grem zoper tebe ta dan, ampak zoper hišo, ki je v boju z menoj, in Bog mi je velel, da naj hitim. Nehaj se vtikati v boj z Bogom, ki je z menoj, da te ne pokonča.

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.

²²A Josija ni hotel odvrniti obraza od njega, temuč preoblekel se je, da bi se bojeval ž njim, in ni poslušal besed Nekovih iz Božjih ust, pa je šel bojevat se na ravnini pri Megidu.

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

²³In strelci so ustrelili kralja Josija, in kralj je velel hlapcem svojim: Peljite me stran, kajti hudo sem ranjen.

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.

²⁴Hlapci njegovi ga torej preneso z voza in ga polože na drugi voz, ki ga je imel, ter ga pripeljejo v Jeruzalem; in umrl je, in bil je pokopan v grobovih očetov svojih. In ves Juda in Jeruzalem je žaloval po Josiju.

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.

²⁵In Jeremija je spesnil žalostinko za Josija, in vsi pevci in pevke so govorili o Josiju v svojih žalostinkah do tega dne, in vpeljali so jih v navado v Izraelu. In glej, zapisane so v žalostinkah Jeremijevih.

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

²⁶Kar je pa več praviti o Josiju, in njegova pobožna dela po vsem, kar je pisano v zakonu GOSPODOVEM,in dejanja njegova, prva in poslednja, glej, zapisana so v knjigi kraljev Izraelovih in Judovih.

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

²⁷in dejanja njegova, prva in poslednja, glej, zapisana so v knjigi kraljev Izraelovih in Judovih.
