代下35:1 约西亚在耶路撒冷守逾越节记念耶和华；正月十四日他们宰了逾越节的羊羔。
代下35:1 And Josiah kept a Passover to the Lord in Jerusalem; on the fourteenth day of the first month they put the Passover lamb to death.
代下35:2 王指派各祭司的职务，又鼓励他们去作耶和华殿的事务。
代下35:2 And he gave the priests their places, making them strong for the work of the house of God.
代下35:3 他又对那些教导以色列众人，分别为圣归耶和华的利未人说：“你们要把圣约柜安放在以色列王大卫的儿子所罗门建造的殿里；不必再用肩膀扛抬。现在你们要服事耶和华你们的 神，服事他的子民以色列。
代下35:3 And he said to the Levites, the teachers of all Israel, who were holy to the Lord, See, the holy ark is in the house which Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel, made; it will no longer have to be transported on your backs: now be the servants of the Lord your God and his people Israel,
代下35:4 你们要按着家族和照着班次，根据以色列王大卫所写的和他儿子所罗门所写的，自己好好预备。
代下35:4 And make yourselves ready in your divisions, by your families, as it is ordered in the writings of David, king of Israel, and of Solomon his son;
代下35:5 你们要按着你们的亲族这平民的家族的班次，侍立在圣所；每个班次中要有几个利未家族的人。
代下35:5 And take your positions in the holy place, grouped in the families of your brothers, the children of the people, and for every division let there be a part of a family of the Levites.
代下35:6 你们要宰逾越节的羊羔，洁净自己，为你们的亲族预备一切，遵守耶和华藉摩西吩咐的话。”
代下35:6 And put the Passover lamb to death, and make yourselves holy, and make it ready for your brothers, so that the orders given by the Lord through Moses may be done.
代下35:7 于是约西亚送出绵羊羔和山羊羔共三万只，还有公牛三千头，给所有在场的人民作逾越节的祭牲；这些都是取自王的财产。
代下35:7 And Josiah gave lambs and goats from the flock as Passover offerings for all the people who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand oxen: these were from the king's private property.
代下35:8 约西亚手下的众领袖也自愿把祭牲送给人民、祭司和利未人；又有 神殿的总管希勒家、撒迦利亚和耶歇，也把羔羊二千六百只和公牛三百头，送给祭司作逾越节的祭牲。
代下35:8 And his captains freely gave an offering to the people, the priests, and the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand, six hundred small cattle and three hundred oxen.
代下35:9 利未人的领袖歌楠雅和他的两个兄弟示玛雅和拿坦业，以及哈沙比雅、耶利和约撒拔，也把羊羔五千只和公牛五百头，送给利未人作逾越节的祭牲。
代下35:9 And Conaniah 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 cattle and five hundred oxen.
代下35:10 这样，事奉的职务安排好了以后，他们照着王的吩咐，祭司站在自己的岗位，利未人也按着自己的班次侍立。
代下35:10 So everything was made ready and the priests took their places with the Levites in their divisions, as the king had said.
代下35:11 利未人宰了逾越节的羊羔，祭司从他们的手里把血接过来，洒在坛上，利未人剥了祭牲的皮，
代下35:11 And they put the Passover lambs to death, the blood being drained out by the priests when it was given to them, and the Levites did the skinning.
代下35:12 把作燔祭的部分拿去，按着各家族的系别分给众民，使他们可以照着摩西的书上所写的，奉献给耶和华。奉献公牛也是这样。
代下35:12 And they took away the burned offerings, so that they might give them to be offered to the Lord for the divisions of the families of the people, as it is recorded in the book of Moses. And they did the same with the oxen.
代下35:13 他们按照规矩用火烤逾越节的羊羔，其他的圣物用锅、用釜，或用煎盘煮熟，迅速地送给众民；
代下35:13 And the Passover lamb was cooked over the fire, as it says in the law; and the holy offerings were cooked in pots and basins and vessels, and taken quickly to all the people.
代下35:14 然后他们才为自己和祭司预备祭物，因为作祭司的亚伦的子孙忙于献上燔祭和脂肪，直到晚上，利未人才为自己和祭司亚伦的子孙预备祭物。
代下35:14 And after that, they made ready for themselves and for the priests; for the priests, the sons of Aaron, were offering the burned offerings and the fat till night; so the Levites made ready what was needed for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.
代下35:15 歌唱的亚萨的子孙，照着大卫、亚萨、希幔和王的先见耶杜顿的吩咐，站在自己的岗位上；守门的看守各门，不用离开自己的职务，因为他们的利未亲族为他们预备了祭物。
代下35:15 And the sons of Asaph, the makers of melody, were in their places, as ordered by David and Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the king's seer; and the door-keepers were stationed at every door: there was no need for them to go away from their places, for their brothers the Levites made ready for them.
代下35:16 这样，当日一切事奉耶和华的职务都安排好了，就照着约西亚王的吩咐守逾越节，和在耶和华的祭坛上献上燔祭。
代下35:16 So everything needed for the worship of the Lord was made ready that same day, for the keeping of the Passover and the offering of burned offerings on the altar of the Lord, as King Josiah had given orders.
代下35:17 当时在场的以色列人守逾越节，又守除酵节七天。
代下35:17 And all the children of Israel who were present kept the Passover and the feast of unleavened bread at that time for seven days.
代下35:18 自从撒母耳先知的日子以来，在以色列中没有守过像这样的逾越节；以色列诸王也都没有守过这样的逾越节，像约西亚、祭司、利未人、犹大众人和在场的以色列人，以及耶路撒冷的居民守的。
代下35:18 No Passover like it had been kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; and not one of the kings of Israel had ever kept a Passover like the one kept by Josiah and the priests and the Levites and all those of Judah and Israel who were present, and the people of Jerusalem.
代下35:19 这逾越节是约西亚在位第十八年守的。
代下35:19 In the eighteenth year of the rule of Josiah this Passover was kept.
代下35:20 约西亚整理好圣殿的一切事以后，埃及王尼哥上来，帮助靠近幼发拉底河的迦基米施；约西亚就出去阻挡他。
代下35:20 After all this, and after Josiah had put the house in order, Neco, king of Egypt, went up to make war at Carchemish by the river Euphrates; and Josiah went out against him.
代下35:21 尼哥差派使者来见约西亚说：“犹大王啊，我和你有什么不对呢？我现在不是来攻击你，而是要攻击和我交战的那国家；并且 神吩咐我要赶快，你不可干预 神的事，免得他毁灭你，因为 神和我同在。”
代下35:21 But he sent representatives to him, saying, What have I to do with you, O king of Judah? I have not come against you this day, but against those with whom I am at war; and God has given me orders to go forward quickly: keep out of God's way, for he is with me, or he will send destruction on you.
代下35:22 约西亚却不肯离开他，反而改了装要和他作战，不听从 神藉尼哥所说的话；于是他去到米吉多平原和尼哥交战。
代下35:22 However, Josiah would not go back; but keeping to his purpose of fighting against him, and giving no attention to the words of Neco, which came from God, he went forward to the fight in the valley of Megiddo.
代下35:23 弓箭手射中了约西亚王；王对他的臣仆说：“你们把我带走吧，因为我受了重伤。”
代下35:23 And the bowmen sent their arrows at King Josiah, and the king said to his servants, Take me away, for I am badly wounded.
代下35:24 他的臣仆把他从战车上扶下来，放在他的第二辆战车上，把他送回耶路撒冷去，他跟着就死了，埋葬在他列祖的坟墓里。犹大和耶路撒冷的众人都为约西亚哀悼。
代下35:24 So his servants took him out of the line of war-carriages, and put him in his second carriage and took him to Jerusalem, where he came to his end, and they put his body in the resting-place of his fathers. And in all Judah and Jerusalem there was great weeping for Josiah.
代下35:25 耶利米为约西亚作了哀歌；所有歌唱的男女都唱哀歌，哀悼约西亚，直到今日；甚至在以色列中成了定例。这歌记在哀歌书上。
代下35:25 And Jeremiah made a song of grief for Josiah; and to this day Josiah is named by all the makers of melody, men and women, in their songs of grief; they made it a rule in Israel; and the songs are recorded among the songs of grief.
代下35:26 约西亚其余的事迹，和他按着耶和华律法上所记而行的善事，
代下35:26 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and the good he did, in keeping with what is recorded in the law of the Lord,
代下35:27 以及他一生的始末，都记在以色列和犹大列王记上。
代下35:27 And all his acts, first and last, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
