¹Josiah kept a Passover to Yahweh in Jerusalem: and they killed the Passover on the fourteenth day 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.

²He set the priests in their offices, and encouraged them to the service of the house of Yahweh.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

⁶Kill the Passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the word of Yahweh by Moses.”

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

¹⁰So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by 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.

¹¹They killed the Passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood which they received of their hand, and the Levites flayed them.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

¹⁷The children of Israel who were present kept 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:

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.

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 kept.

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

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.

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

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.”

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.

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.

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.

²³The archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, because I am seriously 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
