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

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

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

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

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!

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;

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

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;

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

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;

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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;

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

¹⁹Joosija kaheksateistkümnendal valitsemisaastal peeti see paasapüha.

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

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

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.

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!'

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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