¹And Josiah held a passover to Jehovah in Jerusalem; and they slaughtered the passover on the fourteenth of the first month.

¹Huan, Josiain Jerusalem ah TOUPA adin paikan ankuang a bawla; paikan ankuang luina ding kha khatna, ni sawm leh ni li niin a gou hi.

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

²Huan, siampute a nasep uh a seh saka, TOUPA ina nasepna na sem dingin a hasuan hi.

³And he said to the Levites, that taught all Israel, [and] who were holy to Jehovah, Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built; ye have not to carry it upon your shoulders. Serve now Jehovah your God, and his people Israel;

³Huan, Israel mite sinsakmi, Pathian dinga hihtuam Levite kiangah, Israel kumpipa David tapa Solomon in lamah bawm siangthou koih un; na liangjang ua jawn a kiphamohta kei ding; TOUPA na Pathian uh leh a mi Israelte na sem ta un.

⁴and prepare yourselves by your fathers' houses, in your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son;

⁴Huan, Israel kumpipa David gelh bang leh a tapa Solomon gelh bangin na inkuan intekpen dung jui jelin apawlpawlin kisa un.

⁵and stand in the sanctuary for the classes of the fathers' houses, for your brethren, the children of the people, and [according] to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the Levites;

⁵Huan, na unaute uh inkuan intekpen dung jui jelin Levite tuama tantuan neiin mun siangthou ah om un.

⁶and slaughter the passover, and hallow yourselves, and prepare it for your brethren, that they may do according to the word of Jehovah through Moses.

⁶Paikan ankuangluina ding gou unla, kihihsiangthou unla, Mosi zanga TOUPA gen bang hih dingin na unaute uh dingin bawl un, a chi a.

⁷And Josiah gave for the children of the people a heave-offering of the flocks, lambs and goats, 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.

⁷Huan, Josiain huaia mi om tengteng paikan ankuang adia lan dingin gan hon laka belam nou leh kel nou sing thum leh bawngtal sang thum a piaa: huaite bel kumpipa sum laka ahi hi.

⁸And his princes gave a voluntary heave-offering for the people, for the priests, and for the Levites: Hilkijah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the passover-offerings two thousand six hundred [small cattle] and three hundred oxen;

⁸Huan, a milianten mipi te, siampu te, Levite amau ut thua lan dingin a pia ua. Pathian in heutu, Hilkia te, Zekeria te, Jehiel ten paikan ankuang dia lan dingin gan nou sang nih leh za guk leh bawngtal za thum siampute a pia uh.

⁹and Conaniah, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave as heave-offering to the Levites for the passover-offerings five thousand [small cattle] and five hundred oxen.

⁹Huan, Konani te, a unau Semai leh Nethanel te, Levite heutu Hasabi te, Zeiel te, Jozabad ten leng paikan ankuang dia lat dingin Levite gan nou sang nga leh bawngtal za nga a pia uh.

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

¹⁰Huchiin nasepna a bawl ua, kumpipa thupiak bangin siampute a mun uah a ding ua, Levite a pawl dan bang jel un.

¹¹And they slaughtered the passover, and the priests sprinkled [the blood] from their hand, and the Levites flayed them.

¹¹Huan, paikan ankuangluina ding a gou ua, siamputen sisan a theh ua, Leviten a hawk uh.

¹²And they set apart the burnt-offerings to give them to the classes of the fathers' houses of the children of the people, to present them to Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so [did they] with the oxen.

¹²Huan, Mosi laibua tuang banga a inkuan khen dan uh dungjui jela TOUPA kianga lat dinga piak dingin halmang thillatte a lasawn ua. Bawngtalte leng huchibang mahin a hih uh.

¹³And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance; and the consecrated things they boiled in pots and in cauldrons and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the children of the people.

¹³Huan, paikan ankuangluina ding a dan bangin a em min ua; huan, thillat siangthou sa bel, belte, bel khainaneite, bel gongzatein a ui ua, mi tengteng kiangah a paipih uhi.

¹⁴And afterwards they made ready for themselves and for the priests; because the priests, the sons of Aaron, [were engaged] in offering up the burnt-offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.

¹⁴Huan, huai khitiin amau leh siampute ding a bawl ua; Aron ta siampute halmang thillat leh sa thau lanin jan tanphin a baui ngal ua; huaijiakin Leviten amau leh Aron ta siampute ading a bawl uh ahi.

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 doorkeepers were at every gate; they had not to depart from their service, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

¹⁵Huan, David leh Asaph leh Heman leh kumpipa jawlnei Jeduthun te thupiak bangin lasami Asaph tapate a mun uah a ding ua, huan, kongkhak ngakmite bel kongkhak chihah a om ua; a unau Leviten a bawlsak jiak un a na uh paisan a kiphamoh kei.

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

¹⁶Huchiin kumpipa Josia thupaik banga paikan ankuang nei ding leh TOUPA maitama halmang thillat lan dingin huai ni mahin TOUPA nasepna thil tengteng a bawl uh.

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

¹⁷Huan, Israel suan huailaia omten huai niin paikan ankuang anei ua, tnaghou silngou sohlouh ankuang leng ni sagih a nei lai uh:

¹⁸And there was no passover like to that holden in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel hold such a passover as Josiah held, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

¹⁸Jawlnei Samuel dam lai akipan Israel gamah paikan ankuang huchibang himhim a nei ngei kei ua; Israel kumpipa kuamahin Josia leh siampute leh Levite leh Juda tengteng leh Israelten a neih bang uh nei a om sam kei uh.

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

¹⁹Kum sawm leh kum giat Josia a lal kumin huai paikan ankuang a nei uhi.

²⁰After all this, when Josiah had arranged the house, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Karkemish at the Euphrates; and Josiah went out against him.

²⁰Huai tengteng khia Josiain biakin a bawl khitin, Aigupta kumpipa Nako Karkemis sual dingin Euphrate luiah a pai toua; huan, Josiain a vasual hi.

²¹And he sent messengers 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; and God has told me to make haste: keep aloof from God who is with me, that he destroy thee not.

²¹Himahleh, aman, Nang Juda kumpipa, keil lehnang bang ahia I kihihna ding om? nang sual dingin ka hongpai keia, ka dou sa dou dingin ahi jaw ka hong, Pathianin kin dingin thu honpiaa, ka lama pang Pathian doudal kei dih, a hohhihmang kha ding hi, chiin palai a sawla.

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

²²Himahleh Josiain a kiksan nuam keia, a dou theihna ding in a kibawl lamdanga, Pathian kama kipana Neko thu gen a pom keia, Megido guamah nasual dingin a kuan hi.

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

²³Huan, thal kap miten Josia a kap ua; huan, kumpipan a sikhate kiangah, Honpai mang pih un, liamna thupi mahmah ka tuakta, a chi a.

²⁴And his servants took him out from 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.

²⁴Huchiin a sikhaten kangtalai akipan a la khia ua, a kangtalai dangah a koih ua, Jerusalem ah a paipih ua, a si a, a pi leh pute hanah a vui uh. Juda mi tengteng leh Jerusalema miten Josia a sun uhi.

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

²⁵Huan, Jeremiain Josia a kaha; huan, lasami numei leh pasalten tutanin Josia a kahna la uh a gen lai lai uh. Israel gamah danin a nei ua, ngai dih, kahna la ah atuangta hi.

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

²⁶Josia thilhih dang tengteng, a thilhih hoih te, TOUPA dan bua gelh bangjelin,A masa pen a nanungpente leng, ngai dih, Israel kumpipa leh Juda kumpipate tanchinbuah a tuang hi.

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

²⁷A masa pen a nanungpente leng, ngai dih, Israel kumpipa leh Juda kumpipate tanchinbuah a tuang hi.
