2 Paralipomeno 35
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
35 At ipinagdiwang ni Josias ang isang paskua sa Panginoon sa Jerusalem; at kanilang pinatay ang kordero ng paskua, sa ikalabing apat na araw ng unang buwan.
2 At inilagay niya ang mga saserdote sa kanilang mga katungkulan, at pinatapang sila sa paglilingkod sa bahay ng Panginoon.
3 At sinabi niya sa mga Levita na nangagturo sa buong Israel, na mga banal sa Panginoon, Ilagay ninyo ang banal na kaban sa bahay na itinayo ni Salomon na anak ni David na hari sa Israel; hindi na magkakaroon pa ng pasan sa inyong mga balikat. Maglingkod kayo ngayon sa Panginoon ninyong Dios, at sa kaniyang bayang Israel;
4 At magsihanda kayo ayon sa mga sangbahayan ng inyong mga magulang ayon sa inyong mga bahagi, ayon sa sulat ni David na hari sa Israel, at ayon sa sulat ni Salomon sa kaniyang anak.
5 At magsitayo kayo sa dakong banal ayon sa mga bahagi ng mga sangbahayan ng mga magulang ng inyong mga kapatid na mga anak ng bayan, at maukol sa bawa't isa'y isang bahagi ng sangbahayan ng mga magulang ng mga Levita.
6 At patayin ninyo ang kordero ng paskua, at mangagpakabanal kayo, at ihanda ninyo sa inyong mga kapatid, upang magsigawa ng ayon sa salita ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni Moises.
7 At si Josias ay nagbigay sa mga anak ng bayan, buhat sa kawan, ng mga kordero at ng mga anak ng kambing, lahat ng yaon ay mga pinakahandog sa paskua, sa lahat na nakaharap, sa bilang na tatlong pung libo, at tatlong libo na baka: ang mga ito'y mga pag-aari ng hari.
8 At ang kaniyang mga prinsipe ay nangagbigay ng pinakakusang handog sa bayan, sa mga saserdote, at sa mga Levita. Si Hilcias at si Zacharias at si Jehiel, na mga pinuno sa bahay ng Dios, nangagbigay sa mga saserdote ng mga pinakahandog sa paskua, na dalawang libo at anim na raang tupa at kambing, at tatlong daang baka.
9 Si Chonanias naman, at si Semeias, at si Nathanael, na kaniyang mga kapatid, at si Hasabias at si Jehiel at si Josabad, na mga pinuno ng mga Levita, nangagbigay sa mga Levita ng mga pinakahandog sa paskua, na limang libong tupa at kambing, at limang daang baka.
10 Sa gayo'y ang paglilingkod ay nahanda, at ang mga saserdote ay nagsitayo sa kanilang dako, at ang mga Levita ayon sa kanilang mga bahagi, ayon sa utos ng hari.
11 At kanilang pinatay ang kordero ng paskua, at iwinisik ng mga saserdote ang dugo, na tinangnan nila sa kanilang kamay, at mga nilapnusan ng mga Levita.
12 At kanilang ibinago ang mga handog na susunugin, upang kanilang ipamigay ayon sa mga bahagi ng mga sangbahayan ng mga magulang ng mga anak ng bayan, upang ihandog sa Panginoon, gaya ng nasusulat sa aklat ni Moises. At gayon ang ginawa nila sa mga baka.
13 At kanilang inihaw ang kordero ng paskua, sa apoy ayon sa ayos: at ang mga banal na handog ay niluto sa mga palayok, at sa mga kaldera, at sa mga kawali, at pinagdadalang madali sa lahat na anak ng bayan.
14 At pagkatapos ay nangaghanda sila sa kanilang sarili, at sa mga saserdote; sapagka't ang mga saserdote na mga anak ni Aaron ay nangasa paghahandog ng mga handog na susunugin at ng taba hanggang sa kinagabihan: kaya't ang mga Levita ay nangaghanda sa kanilang sarili, at sa mga saserdote na mga anak ni Aaron.
15 At ang mga mangaawit na mga anak ni Asaph, ay nangasa kanilang dako, ayon sa utos ni David, at ni Asaph, at ni Heman, at ni Jeduthun na tagakita ng hari; at ang mga tagatanod-pinto ay nangasa bawa't pintuang-daan: sila'y hindi nangagkakailangang magsialis sa kanilang paglilingkod; sapagka't ipinaghanda sila ng kanilang mga kapatid na mga Levita.
16 Sa gayo'y ang lahat na paglilingkod sa Panginoon ay nahanda nang araw ding yaon, upang ipagdiwang ang paskua, at upang maghandog ng mga handog na susunugin sa ibabaw ng dambana ng Panginoon, ayon sa utos ng haring Josias.
17 At ang mga anak ni Israel na nangakaharap ay nangagdiwang ng paskua nang panahong yaon, at ng kapistahan ng tinapay na walang lebadura na pitong araw.
18 At hindi nagkaroon ng paskua na gaya ng ipinagdiwang na yaon sa Israel mula sa mga araw ni Samuel na propeta; ni nagdiwang man ang sinoman sa mga hari sa Israel ng gayong paskua na gaya ng ipinagdiwang ni Josias, at ng mga saserdote, at ng mga Levita, at ng buong Juda at Israel na nangakaharap, at ng mga taga Jerusalem.
19 Nang ikalabing walong taon ng paghahari ni Josias ay ipinagdiwang ang paskuang ito.
20 Pagkatapos ng lahat ng ito, nang maihanda ni Josias ang templo, si Nechao na hari sa Egipto ay umahon upang makipaglaban sa Carchemis sa siping ng Eufrates: at si Josias ay lumabas laban sa kaniya.
21 Nguni't siya'y nagsugo ng mga sugo sa kaniya, na ipinasasabi, Anong aking ipakikialam sa iyo, ikaw na hari sa Juda? ako'y hindi naparirito laban sa iyo sa araw na ito, kundi laban sa sangbahayan na kinakalaban ko: at iniutos sa akin ng Dios na ako'y magmamadali: iwan mo ang pakikialam sa Dios, na nasa akin nga, upang huwag ka niyang lipulin.
22 Gayon ma'y hindi itinalikod ni Josias ang kaniyang mukha sa kaniya, kundi nagpakunwaring iba, upang siya'y makipaglaban sa kaniya, at hindi dininig ang salita ni Nechao, na mula sa bibig ng Dios, at naparoong nakipaglaban sa libis ng Megiddo.
23 At pinana ng mga mamamana si Josias: at sinabi ng hari sa kaniyang mga lingkod, Ilabas ninyo ako; sapagka't ako'y nasugatan ng mabigat.
24 Sa gayo'y inalis siya ng kaniyang mga lingkod sa karo, at inilagay siya sa ikalawang karo, na kaniyang dala, at dinala siya sa Jerusalem; at siya'y namatay, at nalibing sa mga libingan ng kaniyang mga magulang. At ang buong Juda at Jerusalem ay tumangis kay Josias.
25 At tinaghuyan ni Jeremias si Josias: at ang lahat na mangaawit na lalake at babae ay nagsipanambitan tungkol kay Josias sa kanilang mga panaghoy, hanggang sa araw na ito; at sila'y nagsigawa ng alituntunin sa Israel; at, narito, nangasusulat sa mga panaghoy.
26 Ang iba nga sa mga gawa ni Josias, at ang kaniyang mga mabuting gawa, ayon sa nasusulat sa kautusan ng Panginoon,
27 At ang kaniyang mga gawa, na una at huli, narito, nangasusulat sa aklat ng mga hari sa Israel at Juda.
2 Chronicles 35
New King James Version
Josiah Keeps the Passover(A)
35 Now (B)Josiah kept a Passover to the Lord in Jerusalem, and they slaughtered the Passover lambs on the (C)fourteenth day of the first month. 2 And he set the priests in their (D)duties and (E)encouraged them for the service of the house of the Lord. 3 Then he said to the Levites (F)who taught all Israel, who were holy to the Lord: (G)“Put the holy ark (H)in the house which Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built. (I)It shall no longer be a burden on your shoulders. Now serve the Lord your God and His people Israel. 4 Prepare yourselves (J)according to your fathers’ [a]houses, according to your divisions, following the (K)written instruction of David king of Israel and the (L)written instruction of Solomon his son. 5 And (M)stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of your brethren the lay people, and according to the division of the father’s house of the Levites. 6 So slaughter the Passover offerings, (N)consecrate yourselves, and prepare them for your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.”
7 Then Josiah (O)gave the lay people lambs and young goats from the flock, all for Passover offerings for all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, as well as three thousand cattle; these were from the king’s (P)possessions. 8 And his (Q)leaders gave willingly to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand six hundred from the flock, and three hundred cattle. 9 Also (R)Conaniah, his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave to the Levites for Passover offerings five thousand from the flock and five hundred cattle.
10 So the service was prepared, and the priests (S)stood in their places, and the (T)Levites in their divisions, according to the king’s command. 11 And they slaughtered the Passover offerings; and the priests (U)sprinkled the blood with their hands, while the Levites (V)skinned the animals. 12 Then they removed the burnt offerings that they might give them to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of the lay people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written (W)in the Book of Moses. And so they did with the cattle. 13 Also they (X)roasted the Passover offerings with fire according to the ordinance; but the other holy offerings they (Y)boiled in pots, in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them quickly among all the lay people. 14 Then afterward they prepared portions for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the sons of Aaron, were busy in offering burnt offerings and fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared portions for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron. 15 And the singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their places, according to the (Z)command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer. Also the gatekeepers (AA)were at each gate; they did not have to leave their position, because their brethren the Levites prepared portions for them.
16 So all the service of the Lord was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the Lord, according to the command of King Josiah. 17 And the children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the Feast of (AB)Unleavened Bread for seven days. 18 (AC)There had been no Passover kept in Israel like that since the days of Samuel the prophet; and none of the kings of Israel had kept such a Passover as Josiah kept, with the priests and the Levites, all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah this Passover was kept.
Josiah Dies in Battle(AD)
20 (AE)After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against (AF)Carchemish by the Euphrates; and Josiah went out against him. 21 But he sent messengers to him, saying, “What have I to do with you, king of Judah? I have not come against you this day, but against the house with which I have war; for God commanded me to make haste. Refrain from meddling with God, who is with me, lest He destroy you.” 22 Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but (AG)disguised himself so that he might fight with him, and did not heed the words of Necho from the mouth of God. So he came to fight in the Valley of Megiddo.
23 And the archers shot King Josiah; and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am severely wounded.” 24 (AH)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. So he died, and was buried in one of the tombs of his fathers. And (AI)all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
25 Jeremiah also (AJ)lamented for (AK)Josiah. And to this day (AL)all the singing men and the singing women speak of Josiah in their lamentations. (AM)They made it a custom in Israel; and indeed they are written in the Laments.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah and his goodness, according to what was written in the Law of the Lord, 27 and his deeds from first to last, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

English Standard Version
Josiah Keeps the Passover
35 (A)Josiah kept a Passover to the Lord in Jerusalem. And they slaughtered the Passover lamb (B)on the fourteenth day of the first month. 2 He appointed the priests to their offices (C)and encouraged them in the service of the house of the Lord. 3 And he said to the Levites (D)who taught all Israel and who were holy to the Lord, “Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built. You need not carry it on your shoulders. Now serve the Lord your God and his people Israel. 4 Prepare yourselves (E)according to your fathers' houses by your divisions, (F)as prescribed in the writing of David king of Israel (G)and the document of Solomon his son. 5 And (H)stand in the Holy Place (I)according to the groupings of the fathers' houses of your brothers the lay people, and according to the division of the Levites by fathers' household. 6 And slaughter the Passover lamb, and (J)consecrate yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the word of the Lord by[a] Moses.”
7 Then Josiah contributed to the lay people, as Passover offerings for all who were present, lambs and young goats from the flock to the number of 30,000, and 3,000 bulls; (K)these were from the king's possessions. 8 And his officials contributed willingly to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. (L)Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the chief officers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings 2,600 Passover lambs and 300 bulls. 9 Conaniah 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 5,000 lambs and young goats and 500 bulls.
10 When the service had been prepared for, the priests (M)stood in their place, (N)and the Levites in their divisions according to the king's command. 11 (O)And they slaughtered the Passover lamb, and the priests (P)threw the blood that they received from them (Q)while the Levites flayed the sacrifices. 12 And they set aside the burnt offerings that they might distribute them according to the groupings of the fathers' houses of the lay people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written in the Book of Moses. And so they did with the bulls. 13 (R)And they roasted the Passover lamb with fire according to the rule; and they (S)boiled the holy offerings in pots, in cauldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the lay people. 14 And afterward they prepared for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the sons of Aaron, were offering the burnt offerings and the fat parts until night; so the Levites prepared for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron. 15 The singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their place (T)according to the command of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's (U)seer; (V)and the gatekeepers were at each gate. They did not need to depart from their service, for their brothers the Levites prepared for them.
16 So all the service of the Lord was prepared that day, to keep the Passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the Lord, according to the command of King Josiah. 17 And the people of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, (W)and the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days. 18 (X)No Passover like it had been kept in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet. None of the kings of Israel had kept such a Passover as was kept by Josiah, and the priests and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah this Passover was kept.
Josiah Killed in Battle
20 (Y)After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight at (Z)Carchemish on the Euphrates, and Josiah went out to meet him. 21 But he sent envoys to him, saying, “What have we to do with each other, king of Judah? I am not coming against you this day, but against the house with which I am at war. And God has commanded me to hurry. Cease opposing God, who is with me, lest he destroy you.” 22 Nevertheless, Josiah did not turn away from him, but (AA)disguised himself in order to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, but came to fight in the plain of (AB)Megiddo. 23 And the archers shot King Josiah. And the king said to his servants, (AC)“Take me away, for I am badly wounded.” 24 So his servants took him out of the chariot and carried him in his second chariot and brought him to Jerusalem. And he died and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. (AD)All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah. 25 (AE)Jeremiah also uttered a lament for Josiah; and all (AF)the singing men and singing women have spoken of Josiah in their laments to this day. They made these a rule in Israel; behold, they are written in the Laments. 26 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds according to what is written in the Law of the Lord, 27 and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
