1Josiah kept a Passover to Yahweh in Jerusalem: and they killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
1Li rey Josías quixninkßei li Pascua aran Jerusalén. Ut queßxcamsi li carner re xninkßeinquil li Pascua saß li câlaju xbe li xbên po.
2He set the priests in their offices, and encouraged them to the service of the house of Yahweh.
2Quixxakabeb laj tij chixbânunquil lix cßanjeleb ut quixqßue xcacuilal xchßôleb chi cßanjelac saß lix templo li Kâcuaß.
3He said to the Levites who taught all Israel, who were holy to Yahweh, “Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built. There shall no more be a burden on your shoulders. Now serve Yahweh your God, and his people Israel.
3Quiâtinac riqßuineb laj levita li ac nequeßxqßue xchßôl chi cßanjelac chiru li Dios ut chixchßolobanquil xyâlal chiruheb li tenamit. Quixye reheb: —Qßuehomak lix Lokßlaj Câx li Kâcuaß saß li templo li quixyîb laj Salomón li ralal laj David. Incßaß chic têpako saß xbên êtel. Chexcßanjelak chiru li Kâcuaß lê Dios ut chiruheb ajcuiß lix tenamit.
4Prepare yourselves after your fathers’ houses by your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.
4Cßûbumak ru saß li junjûnk cabal chanru nak texcßanjelak chi chßûtal joß tzßîbanbil retalil xban laj David lix reyeb laj Israel ut xban ajcuiß laj Salomón li ralal.
5Stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of your brothers the children of the people, and let there be for each a portion of a fathers’ house of the Levites.
5Tex-oc saß lê cßanjel saß li templo aß yal cßaßru lê cßanjel chi jûnkal. Cuânkeb aj levita teßtenkßânk re li jûnk chßûtal chi aj Israel.
6Kill the Passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the word of Yahweh by Moses.”
6Santobresihomak êrib. Têcamsiheb li carner re li nînkße Pascua ut cauresihomakeb reheb lê rech tenamitil. Ut bânuhomak joß quixye li Dios re laj Moisés, chan laj Josías.
7Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and young goats, all of them for the Passover offerings, to all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls: these were of the king’s substance.
7Laj Josías quixsi reheb li tenamit lajêb xcaßcßâl mil chi carner ut chibât re teßxninkßei li Pascua. Ut quixsi ajcuiß reheb oxib mil chi bôyx. Chixjunil li quixsi reheb, aßan re li rey Josías.
8His princes gave for a freewill offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of God’s house, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small livestock, and three hundred head of cattle.
8Eb li nequeßtenkßan re li rey queßxqßue ajcuiß li xul chi sa saß xchßôl re nak li tenamit ut eb laj tij, joß eb ajcuiß laj levita teßxninkßei li Pascua. Laj Hilcías, laj Zacarías, ut laj Jehiel, li nequeßtaklan saß li templo, queßxqßue cuib mil riqßuin cuakib ciento li carner ut oxib ciento li bôyx reheb laj tij re teßxninkßei li Pascua.
9Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small livestock, and five hundred head of cattle.
9Ut laj Conanías, ut laj Semaías, ut laj Natanael li rîtzßineb, ut laj Hasabías, laj Jeiel, ut laj Jozabad, li nequeßcßamoc be saß xyânkeb laj levita, queßxqßue reheb laj levita ôb mil li carner ut ôb ciento li bôyx re teßxninkßei li Pascua.
10So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their divisions, according to the king’s commandment.
10Nak ac xeßxcßûb chixjunil li cßaßak re ru re li ninkße Pascua, eb laj tij ut eb laj levita queßxakli saß lix naßajeb ut queßoc chixbânunquil lix cßanjeleb li ac yebil xban li rey nak teßxbânu.
11They killed the Passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood which they received of their hand, and the Levites flayed them.
11Ut queßcamsîc eb li carner re li ninkße Pascua. Eb laj levita queßxnumsi li quicß reheb laj tij ut eb aßan queßxrachrachi li quicß. Ut eb laj levita li jun chßol chic yôqueb chirisinquil li rixeb li carner li queßcamsîc.
12They 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 to Yahweh, as it is written in the book of Moses. So they did with the cattle.
12Chirix aßan queßxjeqßui li tib reheb li junjûnk cabal re nak teßxcßat chokß xmayej joß tzßîbanbil saß li chakßrab li quiqßueheß re laj Moisés. Ut joßcan ajcuiß queßxbânu riqßuineb li bôyx.
13They 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.
13Queßxpom li tib re li ninkße. Ut li tib li ac kßaxtesinbil chiru li Kâcuaß queßxchik saß eb li nînki ucßal ut queßxjeqßui reheb li tenamit saß junpât.
14Afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests, because the priests the sons of Aaron were busy with offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night: therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
14Chirix chic aßan eb laj levita queßxyîb li tib reheb aßan ut reheb ajcuiß laj tij, li ralal xcßajol laj Aarón, xban nak eb laj tij latzßeb ru chixcßatbal li mayej xul ut lix xêbul li xul toj retal qui-oc li kßojyîn. Joßcan nak eb laj levita queßyîban re lix tzacaêmkeb.
15The 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 didn’t need to depart from their service; for their brothers the Levites prepared for them.
15Eb laj levita li nequeßbichan, xcomoneb li ralal laj Asaf, cuanqueb saß xnaßajeb joß queßxye li rey David, laj Asaf, ut laj Hemán, joß ajcuiß li profeta Jedutún li quicßanjelac chiru li rey. Eb li queßcßacßalen saß eb li oquebâl incßaß tento nak queßel saß lix cßanjeleb xban nak eb laj levita jun chßol chic queßxyîb lix tzacaêmkeb.
16So all the service of Yahweh was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover, and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of Yahweh, according to the commandment of king Josiah.
16Joßcan nak queßxcauresi chixjunil re xninkßeinquil li Pascua ut re xmayejanquil li cßatbil mayej saß lix artal li Kâcuaß joß quixye li rey Josías.
17The children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
17Eb laj Israel li cuanqueb Jerusalén queßxninkßei li Pascua saß eb li cutan aßan ut queßxbânu ajcuiß li ninkße nak nequeßxcuaß li caxlan cua mâcßaß xchßamal chiru cuukub cutan.
18There was no Passover like 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 who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
18Mâ jun sut qui-uxman li ninkße Pascua chi joßcaßin joß najtil quicuan li profeta Samuel. Ut mâ jun rey quixbânu li ninkße joß quixbânu li rey Josías rochbeneb laj tij, laj levita, chixjunileb laj Judá ut eb laj Israel li cuanqueb aran Jerusalén.
19In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this Passover kept.
19Queßxninkßei li Pascua aßin nak yô cuakxaklaju chihab roquic chokß rey laj Josías.
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.
20Chirix chic chixjunil aßin nak ac yîbanbil chi us li templo xban laj Josías, laj Necao lix reyeb laj Egipto cô chi pletic saß li tenamit Carquemis li cuan chire li nimaß Eufrates. Ut li rey Josías cô chi pletic riqßuin.
21But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, “What have I to do with you, you king of Judah? I come not against you this day, but against the house with which I have war. God has commanded me to make haste. Beware that it is God who is with me, that he not destroy you.”
21Laj Necao quixtaklaheb lix takl riqßuin laj Josías chixyebal re chi joßcaßin: —At xreyeb laj Judá, nintzßâma châcuu nak mâchßic âcuib cuiqßuin xban nak mâcuaß âcuiqßuin xinchal chi pletic. Xinchal ban chi pletic riqßuineb li xicß nequeßiloc cue. Li Dios quixye cue nak tinsêba cuib ut aßan yô chi tenkßânc cue. Joßcan nak mâram li be chicuu mâre anchal li Dios tixtakla raylal saß âbên, chan.
22Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and didn’t listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
22Abanan laj Josías incßaß quiraj rabinquil li cßaßru quixye laj Necao ut incßaß quixqßue retal nak li Dios yô chi tenkßânc re. Joßcan nak quixqßue li rakß re pletic ut cô chi pletic riqßuin laj Necao saß li ru takßa re Meguido.
23The archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, because I am seriously wounded!”
23Eb lix soldado laj Necao queßxcut chi tzimaj li rey Josías. Ut li rey Josías quixye reheb lix soldado: —Chinêrisi saß li plêt xban nak câmc cue, chan.
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 tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
24Ut queßrisi laj Josías saß lix carruaje. Queßxqßue saß jun chic carruaje ut queßxcßam cuißchic Jerusalén ut aran quicam. Quimukeß saß li naßajej li queßmukeß cuiß lix xeßtônil yucuaß. Ut chixjunileb laj Judá ut eb laj Jerusalén queßyâbac xban xcamic li rey Josías.
25Jeremiah 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 in Israel: and behold, they are written in the lamentations.
25Laj Jeremías quixtzßîba jun li bich re rahil chßôlej saß xcßabaß li rey Josías. Toj chalen anakcuan chixjunileb li cuînk ut li ixk nequeßxbicha li bich aßin re xjulticanquil lix camic li rey Josías. Anakcuan cßaynakeb chixbânunquil aßan saß li tenamit Israel. Li bich aßan tzßîbanbil saß li hu li queßtzßîbâc cuiß li bich re rahil chßôlej.
26Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of Yahweh,
26Chixjunil li us li quixbânu laj Josías nak cuan chokß rey tzßîbanbil retalil. Tzßîbanbil ajcuiß retalil chanru nak quixbânu li cßaßru naxye lix chakßrab li Kâcuaß Dios.Chixjunil li cßaßru quixbânu, chalen saß xticlajic toj saß rosoßjic, tzßîbanbil retalil saß li hu li tzßîbanbil cuiß retalil li quilajeßxbânu lix reyeb laj Judá ut lix reyeb laj Israel.
27and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
27Chixjunil li cßaßru quixbânu, chalen saß xticlajic toj saß rosoßjic, tzßîbanbil retalil saß li hu li tzßîbanbil cuiß retalil li quilajeßxbânu lix reyeb laj Judá ut lix reyeb laj Israel.
