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

¹And Josiah maketh in Jerusalem a passover to Jehovah, and they slaughter the passover-offering on the fourteenth of the first month,

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

²and he stationeth the priests over their charges, and strengtheneth them for the service of the house of Jehovah,

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.

³and saith to the Levites -- who are teaching all Israel -- who are sanctified to Jehovah, `Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon son of David king of Israel built; it is not to you a burden on the shoulder. `Now, serve Jehovah your God, and His people Israel,

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

⁴and prepare, by the house of your fathers, according to your courses, by the writing of David king of Israel, and by the writing of Solomon his son,

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

⁵and stand in the sanctuary, by the divisions of the house of the fathers of your brethren, sons of the people, and the portion of the house of a father of the Levites,

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

⁶and slaughter the passover-offering and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, to do according to the word of Jehovah by the hand of Moses.'

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.

⁷And Josiah lifteth up to the sons of the people a flock of lambs and young goats, the whole for passover-offerings, for every one who is found, to the number of thirty thousand, and oxen three thousand: these [are] from the substance of the king.

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.

⁸And his heads, for a willing-offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites, have lifted up; Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Jehiel, leaders in the house of God, to the priests have given for passover-offerings two thousand and six hundred, and oxen three hundred;

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.

⁹and Conaniah, and Shemaiah, and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah, and Jeiel, and Jozabad, heads of the Levites, have lifted up to the Levites, for passover-offerings, five thousand, and oxen five hundred.

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

¹⁰And the service is prepared, and the priests stand on their station, and the Levites on their courses, according to the command of the king,

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

¹¹and they slaughter the passover-offering, and the priests sprinkle out of their hand, and the Levites are striping;

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.

¹²and they turn aside the burnt-offering, to put them by the divisions of the house of the fathers of the sons of the people, to bring near to Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses -- and so to the oxen.

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.

¹³And they cook the passover with fire, according to the ordinance, and the sanctified things they have cooked in pots, and in kettles, and in pans -- for all the sons of the people.

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.

¹⁴And afterward they have prepared for themselves, and for the priests: for the priests, sons of Aaron, [are] in the offering up of the burnt-offering and of the fat till night; and the Levites have prepared for themselves, and for the priests, sons of Aaron.

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.

¹⁵And the singers, sons of Asaph, [are] on their station, according to the command of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun seer of the king, and the gate keepers [are] at gate and gate; it is not for them to turn aside from off their service, for their brethren the Levites have prepared for them.

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.

¹⁶And all the service of Jehovah is prepared on that day, to keep the passover, and to cause to ascend burnt-offering upon the altar of Jehovah, according to the command of king Josiah.

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

¹⁷And the sons of Israel who are found make the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened things, seven days.

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.

¹⁸And there hath not been made a passover like it in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet, and none of the kings of Israel made such a passover as Josiah hath made, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who are found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

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

¹⁹In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah hath this passover been made.

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.

²⁰After all this, when Josiah hath prepared the house, come up hath Necho king of Egypt, to fight against Carchemish by Phrat, and Josiah goeth forth to meet him;

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.

²¹and he sendeth unto him messengers, saying, `What -- to me and to thee, O king of Judah? not against thee do I come to-day, but unto the house with which I have war, and God said to haste me; cease for thee from God who [is] with me, and He doth not destroy thee.'

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.

²²And Josiah hath not turned round his face from him, but to fight against him hath disguised himself, and hath not hearkened unto the words of Necho, from the mouth of God, and cometh in to fight in the valley of Megiddo;

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

²³and the archers shoot at king Josiah, and the king saith to his servants, `Remove me, for I have become very sick.'

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.

²⁴And his servants remove him from the chariot, and cause him to ride on the second chariot that he hath, and cause him to go to Jerusalem, and he dieth, and is buried in the graves of his fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem are mourning for Josiah,

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.

²⁵and Jeremiah lamenteth for Josiah, and all the singers and the songstresses speak in their lamentations of Josiah unto this day, and set them for a statute on Israel, and lo, they are written beside the lamentations.

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.

²⁶And the rest of the matters of Josiah, and his kind acts, according as it is written in the law of Jehovah,

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

²⁷even his matters, the first and the last, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
