¹And Josiah kept a passover unto Jehovah in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth [day] of the first month.

¹Ja Joosija pidas Jeruusalemmas paasapüha Issanda auks; esimese kuu neljateistkümnendal päeval tapeti paasatall.

²And he set the priests in their offices, and encouraged them to the service of the house of Jehovah.

²Tema seadis preestrid nende ametisse ja kinnitas nad Issanda koja teenistusse.

³And he said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, that were holy unto Jehovah, 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 Jehovah your God, and his people Israel.

³Ja ta ütles leviitidele, kes õpetasid kogu Iisraeli ja olid pühitsetud Issandale: 'Pange püha laegas kotta, mille Saalomon, Taaveti poeg, Iisraeli kuningas, on ehitanud; teil pole enam vaja seda õlgadel kanda. Teenige nüüd Issandat, oma Jumalat, ja tema rahvast Iisraeli!

⁴And prepare yourselves 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.

⁴Ja korraldage endid oma perekondade kaupa rühmadena Taaveti, Iisraeli kuninga eeskirja ja tema poja Saalomoni määruse järgi

⁵And 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 fathers' house of the Levites.

⁵ja astuge pühamusse - leviitide perekonnarühmad olgu vastavalt teie vendade, rahva poegade perekondade jaotusele -

⁶And kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, to do according to the word of Jehovah by Moses.

⁶ja tapke paasatall, pühitsege endid ja valmistage see oma vendadele, tehes, nagu Issand Moosese läbi on käskinud!'

⁷And 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.

⁷Ja Joosija annetas rahva poegadele lambaid ja kitsi, lamba- ja kitsetallesid - kõik paasaohvreiks kõigile kohalviibijaile - arvult kolmkümmend tuhat, ja kolm tuhat veist; need olid kuninga omandist.

⁸And his princes gave for a freewill-offering 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.

⁸Ka tema vürstid annetasid vabatahtlikult rahvale, preestritele ja leviitidele; Hilkija, Sakarja ja Jehiel, Jumala koja eestseisjad, andsid preestritele paasaohvreiks kaks tuhat kuussada talle ja kolmsada veist.

⁹Conaniah 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.

⁹Ja Konanja, ja Semaja ja Netaneel, tema vennad, ja Hasabja, Jeiel ja Joosabad, leviitide ülemad, annetasid leviitidele paasaohvreiks viis tuhat talle ja viissada veist.

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

¹⁰Nõnda valmistuti teenistuseks. Siis asusid preestrid oma kohtadele, nõndasamuti leviidid rühmade kaupa, nagu kuningas oli käskinud,

¹¹And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled [the blood which they received] of their hand, and the Levites flayed them.

¹¹ja nad tapsid paasatalle; preestrid piserdasid verd nende käest ja leviidid nülgisid.

¹²And they removed the burnt-offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the children of the people, to offer unto Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.

¹²Aga nad panid kõrvale põletusohvrid, mis nad pidid andma rahva poegade perekondadele rühmade kaupa ohverdamiseks Issandale, nõnda nagu Moosese raamatus on kirjutatud; ja nõndasamuti oli lugu veistega.

¹³And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: and the holy offerings boiled they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of the people.

¹³Ja nad küpsetasid paasatalle korra kohaselt tulel, pühitsetud annid aga keetsid nad pottides, padades ja pannidel, ja viisid need rutates kõigile rahva poegadele.

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

¹⁴Seejärel nad valmistasid iseendile ja preestritele, sest preestrid, Aaroni pojad, olid ööni ohverdamas põletusohvreid ja rasvu; seepärast valmistasid leviidid iseendile ja preestritele, Aaroni poegadele.

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 were at every gate: they needed not to depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

¹⁵Ja lauljad, Aasafi pojad, olid oma kohal Taaveti, Aasafi, Heemani ja kuninga nägija Jedutuuni käsu kohaselt; ja väravahoidjad olid igas väravas; neil ei olnud vaja oma teenistusest lahkuda, sest nende vennad leviidid valmistasid neile.

¹⁶So all the service of Jehovah was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt-offerings upon the altar of Jehovah, according to the commandment of king Josiah.

¹⁶Nõnda korraldus kogu Issanda teenistus sel päeval - paasapüha pidamine ja põletusohvrite ohverdamine Issanda altaril - kuningas Joosija käsu kohaselt.

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

¹⁷Ja kohal viibivad Iisraeli lapsed pidasid seekord paasapüha ja hapnemata leibade püha seitse päeva.

¹⁸And 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.

¹⁸Niisugust paasapüha ei olnud Iisraelis peetud prohvet Saamueli päevist peale; sest ükski Iisraeli kuningaist ei olnud pidanud niisugust paasapüha, nagu pidasid Joosija, preestrid ja leviidid, kogu kohal viibiv Juuda ja Iisrael ja Jeruusalemma elanikud.

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

¹⁹Joosija kaheksateistkümnendal valitsemisaastal peeti see paasapüha.

²⁰After 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.

²⁰Pärast kõike seda, kui Joosija oli koja korda seadnud, tuli Egiptuse kuningas Neko sõdima Karkemise vastu Frati jõe ääres; ja Joosija läks temale vastu.

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; and God hath commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from [meddling with] God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not.

²¹Aga see läkitas tema juurde saadikud ütlema: 'Mis on mul sinuga tegemist, Juuda kuningas? Ei ole ma täna tulnud sinu vastu, vaid selle soo vastu, kes minuga sõdib. Jumal on mind käskinud rutata. Jäta rahule Jumal, kes on minuga, et ta sind ei hävitaks!'

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 Neco from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

²²Aga Joosija ei hoidunud temast eemale, vaid muutis end tundmatuks, et temaga võidelda; ta ei kuulanud Neko sõnu, mis olid Jumala suust, vaid läks sõdima Megiddo orgu.

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

²³Aga kütid ambusid kuningas Joosijat; ja kuningas ütles oma sulastele: 'Viige mind ära, sest ma olen raskesti haavatud!'

²⁴So 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.

²⁴Siis ta sulased tõstsid ta sõjavankrist teise vankrisse, mis tal oli, ja viisid ta Jeruusalemma. Ta suri ja ta maeti oma vanemate hauda. Ja kogu Juuda ja Jeruusalemm leinasid Joosijat.

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

²⁵Ja Jeremija tegi Joosija pärast nutulaulu; kõik lauljad ja lauljannad on oma nutulauludes rääkinud Joosijast kuni tänapäevani. See kujunes Iisraelis tavaks; ja vaata, need on Nutulauludes kirja pandud.

²⁶Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of Jehovah,

²⁶Ja muud Joosija lood ja tema vagad teod, mis vastasid Issanda Seaduse eeskirjale,

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

²⁷tema varasemad ja hilisemad lood, vaata, need on kirja pandud Iisraeli ja Juuda Kuningate raamatus.
