-
又对那归耶和华为圣、教训以色列众人的利未人说，你们将圣约柜安放在以色列王大卫儿子所罗门建造的殿里，不必再用肩扛抬。现在要事奉耶和华你们的神，服事祂的民以色列。
- 35:4 And prepare yourselves according to your fathers' houses by your divisions according to what David the king of Israel wrote and according to the document of Solomon his son.
-
你们应当按着宗族，照着班次，遵以色列王大卫和他儿子所罗门所写的，预备自己。
- 35:5 And stand in the holy place for the groups of the fathers' houses of your brothers, the common people, and let each division of Levites stand for a portion of a father's house.
-
要按着你们的弟兄，一般民众宗族的分组，站在圣处，利未人的每一班次代表一个宗族的一部分。
- 35:6 And slaughter the passover sacrifice, and sanctify yourselves and prepare your brothers to act according to the word of Jehovah given through Moses.
-
要宰逾越节的羊羔，使自己分别为圣，为你们的弟兄预备了，好照着耶和华藉摩西所吩咐的话而行。
- 35:7 And Josiah contributed to the common people lambs and kids from the flock, all for the passover offerings, to all who were found there, thirty thousand animals in number, and three thousand cattle; these were from the king's possessions.

-
约西亚的众首领也将甘心祭赐给百姓、祭司和利未人；又有管理神殿的希勒家、撒迦利亚和耶歇，将羊羔二千六百只，牛三百只，给祭司作逾越节的祭物。
- 35:9 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the leaders of the Levites, contributed to the Levites for the passover offerings five thousand from the flock and five hundred cattle.
-
利未人的首领歌楠雅，和他两个兄弟示玛雅、拿坦业，与哈沙比雅、耶利、约撒拔，将羊羔五千只，牛五百只，赐给利未人作逾越节的祭物。
- 35:10 So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their divisions, according to the command of the king.
-
这样，事奉的事齐备了；祭司站在自己的地方，利未人按着班次站立，都是照王所吩咐的。
- 35:11 And they slaughtered the passover sacrifices; and while the priests sprinkled the blood that they received from their hand, the Levites flayed them.
-
利未人宰了逾越节的羊羔；祭司从他们手里接过血来洒在坛上，利未人给羊羔剥皮，
- 35:12 And they removed the burnt offerings that they might give them to the groups of the fathers' houses of the common people to offer to Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so they did with the cattle.
-
将作燔祭的部分拿出来，按着宗族的分组分给一般的民众，好照摩西书上所写的，献给耶和华；献牛也是这样。
- 35:13 And they roasted the passover in fire according to the ordinance, and they boiled the holy offerings in pots and in cauldrons and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the common people.
-
他们按着定例，用火烤逾越节的羊羔；别的圣物用锅，用鼎，用盘煮了，速速的送给所有一般的民众。
- 35:14 And afterward they provided for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the sons of Aaron, were busy offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites provided for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.
-
然后为自己和祭司预备祭物，因为祭司们，就是亚伦的子孙，忙于献燔祭和脂油，直到晚上；所以利未人为自己和祭司们，就是亚伦的子孙，预备祭物。
- 35:15 And the singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their place according to the command of David and Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun the king's seer. And the gatekeepers were at each gate; they did not need to turn from their service, for their brothers the Levites provided for them.

- 35:17 And the children of Israel who were found there held the Passover at that time, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days.

- 35:18 And a Passover like that had never been held in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet, nor did any of the kings of Israel hold such a Passover as was held by Josiah and the priests and the Levites and all Judah and Israel who were found there and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
-
自从申言者撒母耳的日子以来，在以色列中没有守过这样的逾越节，以色列诸王也没有守过，像约西亚、祭司、利未人、在那里的犹大众人和以色列众人、以及耶路撒冷居民所守的逾越节。
- 35:19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah this Passover was held.
-
这逾越节是约西亚作王第十八年守的。
- 35:20 After all this, when Josiah had set the temple in order, Neco the king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates; and Josiah went out against him.
-
约西亚整顿了殿，在这一切事以后，埃及王尼哥上来，要攻击靠近伯拉河的迦基米施；约西亚出去抵挡他。
- 35:21 And Neco sent messengers to him, saying, What have I to do with you, O king of Judah? I have not come up against you today but against the house with which I am at war, and God has commanded me to hurry. Refrain for your own sake from interfering with God, who is with me, and He will not destroy you.
-
尼哥差遣使者来见约西亚，说，犹大王阿，我与你何干？我今日来不是要攻击你，乃是要攻击与我争战之家，并且神吩咐我速行。你为自己的缘故，不要干豫神的事，免得祂毁灭你，因为神与我同在。
- 35:22 But Josiah would not turn his face from him, but he disguised himself so that he might fight with him; and he did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God but came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
-
约西亚却不肯转去离开他，反而改装要与他打仗；他不听从尼哥所说出自神口中的话，来到米吉多谷争战。
- 35:23 And the archers shot at King Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Take me away, for I have been wounded severely.
-
弓箭手射中约西亚王；王对他的臣仆说，我受了重伤，你们扶我下战车吧。
- 35:24 So his servants took him out of the chariot and put him in the chariot of his second-in-command, and they brought him to Jerusalem; and he died and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
-
他的臣仆扶他下了战车，上了他的次车，送他到耶路撒冷；他就死了，葬在他列祖的坟墓里。犹大众人和耶路撒冷众人都为他悲哀。
- 35:25 And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah. And all the male singers and female singers speak of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, for they have made it a custom in Israel; and they are there written in the lamentations.
-
耶利米为约西亚作哀歌。所有歌唱的男女在他们的哀歌中，追悼约西亚，直到今日，他们在以色列中以此作为定例；这些歌都记在哀歌书上。

-
约西亚其余的事和他照着耶和华律法上所记而行的善事，
- 35:27 And his acts, first and last, are there written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

并他自始至终所行的，都写在以色列和犹大诸王记上。
