Gisaulog ni Josia ang Pista sa Paglabay sa Anghel
(2 Hari 23:21-23)
35 Sa ika-14 nga adlaw sa unang bulan, gisaulog ni Haring Josia sa Jerusalem ang Pista sa Paglabay sa Anghel sa pagpasidungog sa Ginoo. Nagaihaw sila alang niini nga pista. 2 Gihatagan ni Josia ang mga pari sa ilang katungdanan sa templo sa Ginoo, ug gidasig niya sila sa ilang pag-alagad. 3 Giingnan usab niya ang mga Levita nga mga magtutudlo sa Israel ug gigahin alang sa pag-alagad sa Ginoo nga, “Ipahimutang na ang balaan nga kahon sa templo nga gipatukod ni Solomon nga anak ni David. Dili na ninyo kini kinahanglang pas-an-pas-anon. Gamita ninyo ang inyong panahon sa pag-alagad sa Ginoo nga inyong Dios ug sa iyang katawhan nga mga Israelinhon. 4 Himoa ninyo ang inyong mga katungdanan basi sa grupo sa inyong mga pamilya, sumala sa nahisulat nga mga tulumanon ni David nga hari sa Israel, ug sa iyang anak nga si Solomon. 5 Barog kamo sa inyong mga pwesto sa templo ug tabangi ninyo sa ilang paghalad ang mga pamilya sa inyong isigka-Israelinhon nga gitugyan kaninyo. 6 Ihawa ninyo ang mga ihawonon alang sa Pista sa Paglabay sa Anghel, panghinlo kamo sa inyong kaugalingon, ug pangandam sa pag-alagad sa inyong mga katagilungsod. Sunda ninyo ang mga sugo nga gihatag sa Ginoo kaninyo pinaagi kang Moises.”
7 Gikan sa iyang kaugalingong kahayopan mihatag si Josia ug 30,000 ka mga karnero ug kanding, ug 3,000 ka mga baka, alang sa halad sa mga tawo sa panahon sa Pista sa Paglabay sa Anghel. 8 Kinabubut-on usab nga mihatag ang mga opisyal ni Josia ngadto sa mga tawo, mga pari, ug mga Levita. Ang mga tigdumala sa templo nga sila si Hilkia, Zacarias, ug Jehiel, mihatag sa ilang kaubang mga pari ug 2,600 ka mga karnero ug kanding, ug 300 ka mga baka ingon nga halad sa pista. 9 Ang mga pangulo sa mga Levita nga sila si Konanias, ang iyang mga igsoon nga sila si Shemaya ug Netanel, si Hashabia, Jeil, ug Jozabad mihatag sa ilang kaubang nga mga Levita ug 5,000 ka mga karnero ug kanding, ug 500 ka mga baka ingon nga halad sa pista.
10 Sa dihang andam na ang tanan alang sa pista, mipahimutang sa ilang mga pwesto ang mga pari ug mga Levita sa templo, sumala sa sugo sa hari. 11 Giihaw sa mga Levita ang mga karnero ug mga kanding, ug gihatag ang dugo ngadto sa mga pari. Gisablig kini sa mga pari sa halaran samtang gipanitan sa mga Levita ang mga hayop. 12 Unya giapod-apod nila ngadto sa mga tawo, basi sa mga grupo sa ilang pamilya, ang mga halad nga sinunog aron ihalad ngadto sa Ginoo, sumala sa nahisulat sa Libro ni Moises. Mao usab ang gihimo nila sa mga baka. 13 Unya gilitson nila ang mga hayop nga alang sa pista, sumala sa nahisulat sa kasugoan, ug gilat-an ang balaan nga mga halad diha sa mga kolon, mga kaldero, ug mga kawa, ug giapod-apod dayon ngadto sa mga tawo.
14 Pagkahuman, nagaandam ang mga Levita ug pagkaon alang sa ilang kaugalingon ug sa mga pari, tungod kay hangtod gabii nga naghalad sa mga halad nga sinunog ug sa mga tambok sa hayop ang mga pari nga kaliwat ni Aaron. 15 Ang mga musikero nga mga kaliwat ni Asaf didto sa ilang pwesto sa templo, sumala sa tulumanon nga gihatag nila ni David, Asaf, Heman, ug Jedutun nga propeta sa hari. Wala na mobiya sa ilang pwesto ang mga magbalantay sa pultahan kay giandaman silag pagkaon sa ilang mga paryente nga mga Levita.
16 Nahuman niadtong adlawa ang pagpangandam sa tanang seremonya alang sa Pista sa Paglabay sa Anghel nga gisaulog alang sa Ginoo, ug ang paghalad sa mga halad nga sinunog sumala sa mando ni Haring Josia. 17 Nagsaulog sulod sa pito ka adlaw ang mga Israelinhon nga nanambong niining maong pista ug sa Pista sa Pan nga Walay Patubo. 18 Sukad sa panahon ni Samuel nga propeta, wala masaulog ug sama niini ang Pista sa Paglabay sa Anghel. Wala gayoy usa sa nangaging mga hari sa Israel nga nakasaulog ug sama sa pagsaulog nga gihimo ni Haring Josia ug sa mga pari, mga Levita, mga lumulupyo sa Jerusalem, ug sa mga katawhan sa Juda ug Israel. 19 Gisaulog kini nga pista sa ika-18 nga tuig sa paghari ni Josia.
Ang Pagkamatay ni Josia
(2 Hari 23:28-30)
20 Pagkahuman niining gihimo ni Josia alang sa templo, gipangulohan ni Neco nga hari sa Ehipto ang iyang mga sundalo sa pagpakiggira didto sa Carkemish, sa may Suba sa Eufrates. Miadto didto si Josia ug ang iyang mga sundalo sa pagpakiggira kang Neco. 21 Apan nagpadala si Neco ug mga mensahero ngadto kang Josia sa pag-ingon, “Wala kitay labot sa usag usa, Hari sa Juda! Dili ikaw ang akong kaaway karon kondili ang nasod nga nakiggira kanako. Miingon ang Dios kanako nga magdali ako sa pagsulong. Kauban ko ang Dios, busa ayaw siyag supaka, kay basig laglagon ka niya.”
22 Apan wala mosibog si Josia. Nagpakaaron-ingnon hinuon siya aron makiggira kang Neco. Wala siya mamati sa pulong sa Dios nga gisulti pinaagi kang Neco. Miadto siya sa patag sa Megido ug nakiggira. 23 Gipana si Haring Josia ug nasamdan siya. Miingon siya sa iyang mga opisyal, “Kuhaa ninyo ako dinhi, kay grabe kaayo ang akong samad.” 24 Busa gikuha nila siya sa iyang karwahe ug gisakay sa laing karwahe ug gidala sa Jerusalem. Namatay siya didto ug gilubong sa lubnganan sa iyang mga katigulangan. Nagsubo alang kaniya ang tanang katawhan sa Juda ug Jerusalem. 25 Naghimo si Jeremias ug mga awit sa pagbangotan alang kang Josia, ug hangtod karon giawit pa kini sa mga mag-aawit sa paghinumdom kaniya. Ang maong mga awit sa pagbangotan nahimo nang kabahin sa tradisyon sa Israel, ug nasulat kini sa Libro sa Mga Pagbangotan. 26-27 Ang uban pang sugilanon mahitungod sa paghari ni Josia, gikan sa sinugdan hangtod sa kataposan, nahisulat sa libro sa mga sugilanon bahin sa mga hari sa Israel ug Juda. Nahisulat usab dinhi ang mahitungod sa paghigugma ni Josia sa Ginoo nga gipakita niya pinaagi sa pagtuman sa kasugoan sa Ginoo.
2 Chronicles 35
King James Version
35 Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the Lord in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the Lord,
3 And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the Lord, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the Lord your God, and his people Israel,
4 And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.
5 And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites.
6 So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
7 And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, 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.
8 And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle and three hundred oxen.
9 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for passover offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.
10 So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king's commandment.
11 And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed them.
12 And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.
13 And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the other holy offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the people.
14 And afterward they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
15 And 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 porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
16 So all the service of the Lord was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of king Josiah.
17 And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
18 And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.
20 After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Charchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.
21 But he sent ambassadors 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 wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not.
22 Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
23 And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded.
24 His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
25 And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that which was written in the law of the Lord,
27 And his deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
2 Chronicles 35
New International Version
Josiah Celebrates the Passover(A)
35 Josiah celebrated the Passover(B) to the Lord in Jerusalem, and the Passover lamb was slaughtered on the fourteenth day of the first month. 2 He appointed the priests to their duties and encouraged them in the service of the Lord’s temple. 3 He said to the Levites, who instructed(C) all Israel and who had been consecrated to the Lord: “Put the sacred ark in the temple that Solomon son of David king of Israel built. It is not to be carried about on your shoulders. Now serve the Lord your God and his people Israel. 4 Prepare yourselves by families in your divisions,(D) according to the instructions written by David king of Israel and by his son Solomon.
5 “Stand in the holy place with a group of Levites for each subdivision of the families of your fellow Israelites, the lay people. 6 Slaughter the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves(E) and prepare the lambs for your fellow Israelites, doing what the Lord commanded through Moses.”
7 Josiah provided for all the lay people who were there a total of thirty thousand lambs and goats for the Passover offerings,(F) and also three thousand cattle—all from the king’s own possessions.(G)
8 His officials also contributed(H) voluntarily to the people and the priests and Levites. Hilkiah,(I) Zechariah and Jehiel, the officials in charge of God’s temple, gave the priests twenty-six hundred Passover offerings and three hundred cattle. 9 Also Konaniah(J) along with Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah, Jeiel and Jozabad,(K) the leaders of the Levites, provided five thousand Passover offerings and five hundred head of cattle for the Levites.
10 The service was arranged and the priests stood in their places with the Levites in their divisions(L) as the king had ordered.(M) 11 The Passover lambs were slaughtered,(N) and the priests splashed against the altar the blood handed to them, while the Levites skinned the animals. 12 They set aside the burnt offerings to give them to the subdivisions of the families of the people to offer to the Lord, as it is written in the Book of Moses. They did the same with the cattle. 13 They roasted the Passover animals over the fire as prescribed,(O) and boiled the holy offerings in pots, caldrons and pans and served them quickly to all the people. 14 After this, they made preparations for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were sacrificing the burnt offerings and the fat portions(P) until nightfall. So the Levites made preparations for themselves and for the Aaronic priests.
15 The musicians,(Q) the descendants of Asaph, were in the places prescribed by David, Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun the king’s seer. The gatekeepers at each gate did not need to leave their posts, because their fellow Levites made the preparations for them.
16 So at that time the entire service of the Lord was carried out for the celebration of the Passover and the offering of burnt offerings on the altar of the Lord, as King Josiah had ordered. 17 The Israelites who were present celebrated the Passover at that time and observed the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days. 18 The Passover had not been observed like this in Israel since the days of the prophet Samuel; and none of the kings of Israel had ever celebrated such a Passover as did Josiah, with the priests, the Levites and all Judah and Israel who were there with the people of Jerusalem. 19 This Passover was celebrated in the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign.
The Death of Josiah(R)
20 After all this, when Josiah had set the temple in order, Necho king of Egypt went up to fight at Carchemish(S) on the Euphrates,(T) and Josiah marched out to meet him in battle. 21 But Necho sent messengers to him, saying, “What quarrel is there, king of Judah, between you and me? It is not you I am attacking at this time, but the house with which I am at war. God has told(U) me to hurry; so stop opposing God, who is with me, or he will destroy you.”
22 Josiah, however, would not turn away from him, but disguised(V) himself to engage him in battle. He would not listen to what Necho had said at God’s command but went to fight him on the plain of Megiddo.
23 Archers(W) shot King Josiah, and he told his officers, “Take me away; I am badly wounded.” 24 So they took him out of his chariot, put him in his other chariot and brought him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs of his ancestors, and all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for him.
25 Jeremiah composed laments for Josiah, and to this day all the male and female singers commemorate Josiah in the laments.(X) These became a tradition in Israel and are written in the Laments.(Y)
26 The other events of Josiah’s reign and his acts of devotion in accordance with what is written in the Law of the Lord— 27 all the events, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
