He said to the Levites, who instructed all Israel and were consecrated to the LORD: 'Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon son of David, king of Israel, built. You will no longer need to carry it on your shoulders. Now serve the LORD your God and His people Israel.'

They roasted the Passover lambs over the fire according to the ordinance. They boiled the sacred offerings in pots, kettles, and pans, and served them quickly to all the people.

Verse 14

Etterpå forberedte de også for seg selv og prestene, som var Arons sønner, for prestene var opptatt med brennofferet og fettet til natten, derfor forberedte levittene for seg selv og for prestene, Arons sønner.

Afterward, they prepared portions for themselves and the priests, because the priests, descendants of Aaron, were busy offering the burnt offerings and fat portions until nightfall. So the Levites prepared portions for themselves and the priests, the descendants of Aaron.

En slik påske hadde ikke blitt holdt i Israel siden Samuel, profetens dager, og ingen av Israels konger hadde feiret en påske som den Josjia gjorde, sammen med prestene, levittene, hele Juda, og Israel som var tilstede, og Jerusalems innbyggere.

There had not been a Passover celebrated like this in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet. None of the kings of Israel had celebrated a Passover such as Josiah did with the priests, the Levites, all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Verse 19

Denne påsken ble feiret i Josjias attende regjeringsår.

This Passover was observed in the eighteenth year of Josiah's reign.

Verse 20

Etter alt dette, da Josjia hadde satt i stand templet, dro Neko, kongen av Egypt, for å kjempe ved Karkemisj ved Eufrat, og Josjia dro ut mot ham.

After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Pharaoh Neco, king of Egypt, marched up to fight at Carchemish on the Euphrates. Josiah went out to meet him.

Verse 21

Neko sendte bud til ham og sa: 'Hva har jeg med deg å gjøre, konge av Juda? Jeg kommer ikke mot deg i dag, men mot en annen konges hus, og Gud har sagt at jeg skal skynde meg. La være å blande deg i Guds sak hvor han er med meg, så han ikke ødelegger deg.'

But Neco sent messengers to him, saying, 'What quarrel is there between you and me, king of Judah? I am not coming against you today but against the house with which I am at war. God has told me to hurry; so stop opposing God, who is with me, or He will destroy you.'

Verse 22

Men Josjia vendte ikke sitt ansikt fra ham, men forkledde seg for å kjempe med ham, og han lyttet ikke til Nekos ord fra Guds munn, men kom for å kjempe i Megiddos dal.

But Josiah refused to turn away from him. Instead, he disguised himself to engage him in battle. He did not heed the words of Neco, which were spoken at God's command. So he went to fight him in the valley of Megiddo.

Verse 23

Men bueskytterne skjøt mot kong Josjia, og kongen sa til sine tjenere: 'Ta meg bort, for jeg er hardt skadet.'

The archers shot King Josiah, and he said to his servants, 'Take me away, for I am badly wounded.'

Verse 24

Hans tjenere flyttet ham fra vognen og satte ham i hans andre vogn og førte ham til Jerusalem, hvor han døde. Han ble begravet i sine fedres graver, og hele Juda og Jerusalem sørget over Josjia.

So his servants took him out of his chariot, put him in another chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem. There he died and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

Jeremiah composed laments for Josiah, and all the male and female singers have sung about Josiah in their laments to this day. These became a tradition in Israel and are written in the Laments.

The rest of the deeds of Josiah and his acts of devotion, as written in the Law of the LORD,
