1Josiah kept a Passover to Yahweh in Jerusalem: and they killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
1 Yosiya binde na Paska* bato haggoy Rabbi se Urusalima ra. Borey na Paska feejey wi handu sintina jirbi way cindi taacanta hane.
2He set the priests in their offices, and encouraged them to the service of the house of Yahweh.
2 A na alfagey daŋ ngey goyey ra, a n'i biney gaabandi mo Rabbi windo goyo ra.
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.
3 Lawi borey kaŋ yaŋ ga Israyla kulu dondonandi, kaŋ hananteyaŋ no Rabbi se, a ne i se: «Kal araŋ ma Sundurku Hanna daŋ fuwo kaŋ Suleymanu, Dawda Israyla bonkoono izo cina din ra. Araŋ si ye ka maa tiŋa araŋ jasey gaa. Kal araŋ ma goy Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo se, d'a jama Israyla mo se.
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.
4 Wa araŋ boŋ soola araŋ kaayey windey boŋ, araŋ sasarey boŋ, mate kaŋ cine Israyla bonkoono Dawda hantum din boŋ, da mate kaŋ a izo Suleymanu mo hantum.
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.
5 Wa kay Nangu Hananta ra, araŋ kaayey windey fay-fay yaŋo boŋ, araŋ nya-izey wane jama izey. I ma daŋ boro kulu se nga baa Lawi windo, kaayey wane.
6Kill the Passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the word of Yahweh by Moses.”
6 Sohõ wa Paska feejey wi. Wa araŋ boŋ hanandi. Araŋ ma soola araŋ nya-izey se mo. Wa goy Rabbi sanno kaŋ Musa ci din boŋ.»
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.
7 Yosiya binde na jama no feej'izeyaŋ da hincin izeyaŋ alman kurey ra. I baayaŋo to zambar waranza, i kulu Paska sargay se. A n'i no mo borey kulu kaŋ go noodin yaŋ se, da handayze zambar hinza i banda. Woodin yaŋ kulu mo, bonkoono arzaka ra no i fun.
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.
8 Yaadin cine no i no jama se da bine yadda. Alfagey go, Lawi borey mo go, Hilciya da Zakariya, da Yehiyel, ngey kaŋ ga Irikoy windo may. I na alfagey no handayze zambar hinza da zangu iddu, da yeeji zangu hinza mo, Paska sargayey se.
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.
9 Konaniya mo, nga nda Semaya nda Netanel a nya izey, da Hasabiya, da Yeyel, da Yozabad, Lawi kunda boro beerey, i na Lawi borey no handayze zambar gu, da yeeji zangu gu, Paska sargayey se.
10So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their divisions, according to the king’s commandment.
10 Yaawo cine no i na saajawo soola nd'a: alfagey kay ngey nangey ra, Lawi borey mo ngey sasarey boŋ bonkoono lordo boŋ.
11They killed the Passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood which they received of their hand, and the Levites flayed them.
11 I na Paska almaney wi, alfagey mo na kuro kaŋ i ta i kambe ra say-say, Lawi borey mo goono g'i fooru.
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.
12 I na sargayey kaŋ i ga ton sambu, zama ngey m'i nooyandi kaayey windey fay-fay yaŋo boŋ, jama izey wane. I m'a salle Rabbi se sanda mate kaŋ cine i hantum Musa tira ra. Yaadin no i te yeejey mo se.
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.
13 I na Paska almaney ton da danji, farilla boŋ. Sargayey kaŋ ga hanan ka bisa cindey, ngey mo i n'i zargandi kusuyaŋ ra, da cambuyaŋ ra, da taasayaŋ ra. I n'i sambu mo da cahãyaŋ ka kond'ey jama izey kulu se.
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.
14 Kokor banda i soola ngey boŋ se, da alfagey mo se. Zama Haruna banda alfagey go toonanteyaŋ da muraadu sargay kaŋ i ga ton da maani salleyaŋ se, hal a to cin. Woodin se no Lawi borey soola ngey boŋ se da Haruna banda alfagey se.
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.
15 Doonkoy mo, Asaf izey go ngey nango ra Dawda lordo boŋ: Asaf da Heman, da Yedutun, bonkoono se fonnaykwa. Windi me batukoy mo go windi me kulu gaa. I mana fay da ngey goyo, zama i nya-izey Lawitey na soola te i se.
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.
16 Ya-cine no i na Rabbi saajawo kulu soola nd'a, zaari follonka din ra, i ma Paska bato haggoy. I ma sargay kaŋ i ga ton salle Rabbi feema ra Bonkoono Yosiya lordo boŋ.
17The children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
17 Israyla izey kaŋ go no noodin na Paska nda buuru kaŋ sinda dalbu bato mo haggoy alwaati woodin ra, hala jirbi iyye.
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.
18 I mana Paska woodin cine te Israyla ra za annabi Samuwila zamana ra. Israyla bonkooni fo mo mana te kaŋ na Paska haggoy sanda mate kaŋ cine Yosiya te, nga nda alfagey, da Lawitey, da Yahuda da Israyla kulu kaŋ go noodin, da Urusalima borey.
19In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this Passover kept.
19 I na Paska bato din haggoy Yosiya mayra jiiri way cindi ahakkanta ra.
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.
20 Woodin kulu banda, waato kaŋ Yosiya na sududuyaŋ fuwo hanse ka ban, nga no, Misira bonkoono Neko tun ka koy zama nga ma wongu nda Karkemis Ufratis isa meyo gaa. Yosiya mo fatta ka kond'a gaa wongu.
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.”
21 Amma Neko na diyayaŋ donton a gaa ka ne: «Ifo k'ay za da nin, ya nin Yahuda bonkoono? Manti nin no ay kaa ka wongu hunkuna bo, amma windo kaŋ ay goono ga gaaba nd'a iri game ra. Irikoy mo n'ay lordi ka ne ay ma himma daŋ. Ma si kawla nda Irikoy sanno kaŋ go ay banda, zama ni ma si halaci.»
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.
22 Day Yosiya wangu ka bare ka fay d'a, amma a na alhaali barmay zama nga ma wongu nd'a. A mana laakal da Neko sanno mo, kaŋ fun Irikoy me ra. A binde koy wongo do Mejiddo gooro ra.
23The archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, because I am seriously wounded!”
23 Hangawkoyey binde na bonkoono Yosiya hay, bonkoono mo ne nga tamey se: «W'ay hibandi, kaŋ se i n'ay guuru nda cimi.»
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.
24 A tamey binde n'a kaa nga torka ra. I n'a daŋ torko hinkanta kaŋ go a se din ra ka kand'a Urusalima ra. A bu, i n'a fiji mo a kaayey saarayey ra. Yahuda da Urusalima kulu na bu baray te Yosiya se.
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.
25 Irimiya mo na bu baray doon Yosiya se. Alborey kaŋ ga doon, da wayborey kaŋ ga doon mo, i kulu no ga Yosiya maa ce ngey hẽeney ra, hala ka kaa sohõ. I na woodin ciya mo alaada Israyla ra. A go mo, i n'i hantum bu baray tira ra.
26Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of Yahweh,
26 Yosiya goy cindey d'a Irikoy ganayaŋ goyey kaŋ a te, haŋ kaŋ go hantumante Rabbi asariya tira ra,
27and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
27 za a sintinay goyo kal a kokor banda wano, i go hantumante Israyla da Yahuda bonkooney tira ra.
