過越の祭り
35 さて、ヨシヤ王は第一の月の十四日に、エルサレムで過越の祭りを祝うとのおふれを出し、その日の夕方、過越の子羊がほふられました。 2 また、祭司の組分けを決めてその務めに就かせ、彼らを力づけて、再び神殿の奉仕に当たらせました。 3 それから、イスラエルの教師であるレビ人には、次の命令を出しました。「聖なる箱は、今はソロモンの神殿に置かれ、かついで、あちこちに持ち運ぶ必要はなくなった。だから、あなたがたの時間を、主と主の民に仕えるために用いなさい。 4-5 イスラエルの王ダビデとその子ソロモンの行った組分けに従って、父祖の家ごとに、神殿にささげ物を持って来る人々のために備え、 6 過越の子羊をほふり、身をきよめ、そこに来る人々を助けなさい。すべて、モーセによって示された主の命令に従いなさい。」
7 王は、民がささげる過越のいけにえのために、子羊と子やぎ三万頭、それに子牛三千頭を寄贈しました。 8 高官たちも、祭司やレビ人のために進んで贈り物をしました。神殿の管理者であるヒルキヤ、ゼカリヤ、エヒエルは、祭司がささげる過越のいけにえとして、羊とやぎ二千六百頭、牛三百頭を贈りました。 9 レビ人の指導者であるカナヌヤ、その兄弟シェマヤとネタヌエル、それにハシャブヤ、エイエル、エホザバデは、レビ人がささげる過越のいけにえとして、羊とやぎ五千頭、牛五百頭を贈りました。
10 すっかり用意ができ上がり、祭司が所定の場所に立ち、レビ人が王の指示どおりの任務に就いた時、 11 レビ人の手で過越の子羊がほふられ、その血が祭司に渡されました。祭司が血を祭壇に注ぎかけると、レビ人はほふられた子羊の皮をはぎました。 12 彼らは、モーセの律法に記されているとおり、焼き尽くすいけにえとしてささげる子羊の体を各部族の分に取り分けました。牛についても同じようにしました。 13 それから、定められたとおりに、過越の子羊を焼き、聖別されたささげ物を、深なべ、平なべ、かまで調理し、人々に食べさせるために急いで運びました。 14 そのあとで、自分たちと祭司の食事を用意しました。祭司は朝から晩まで、焼き尽くすいけにえと脂肪をささげるのに追われていたからです。
15 アサフの子孫に当たる歌い手たちは、数百年も前、ダビデ王、アサフ、ヘマン、王の預言者エドトンに指示されたとおり自分の持ち場についていました。門衛たちもそれぞれの門を守っていましたが、食事は同族のレビ人が用意して届けてくれたので、持ち場を離れる必要がありませんでした。 16 こうして、ヨシヤ王が指示したとおり、すべての焼き尽くすいけにえが主の祭壇でささげられ、過越の全儀式はその日のうちに終わりました。
17 エルサレムに来ていた人々は過越の儀式を守り、それに続く七日間、パン種（イースト菌）を入れないパンを食べる祭りが行われました。 18 預言者サムエルの時代からこのかた、これほど多くの祭司やレビ人、エルサレムとユダの全地、さらに遠くイスラエルの地から集まって来た人々が加わった、盛大な過越の祭りが祝われたことはありませんでした。イスラエルのどの王も、この点ではヨシヤ王に及びませんでした。 19 このことがあったのは、ヨシヤ王の第十八年のことでした。
ヨシヤ王の死
20 そののち、エジプトの王ネコが、ユーフラテス川沿いの町カルケミシュでバビロニヤ軍と戦うため、大軍を率いて来ました。そこでヨシヤは、ネコを迎え撃とうとして出陣しました。 21 しかし、ネコ王は使者を立て、こう言ってよこしました。「ユダの王よ、あなたとは戦いたくありません。こうして攻めて来たのは、アッシリヤ王を助けるためです。黙って行かせてください。神が私に、早く行けと命じておられるのです。私と共におられる神に逆らうのはおよしなさい。さもないと、神があなたを滅ぼします。」
22 それでもヨシヤは引き返そうとせず、王服を脱ぎ、敵に気づかれないように変装をしたうえ、軍を率いて戦場となるメギドの谷へ向かいました。彼は、ネコ王の言ったことが神から出ていることを信じようとしなかったのです。 23 すると、敵の射手が放った矢がヨシヤ王に命中し、致命傷を負わせました。王は側近の者に、「早く戦場から連れ出してくれ」と叫びました。
24-25 そこで、彼らは王を戦車から別の車に移し、エルサレムへ連れ帰りました。ヨシヤ王はエルサレムで死に、王室墓地に葬られました。ユダ全国とエルサレムの民は、その死を悼んで喪に服しました。預言者エレミヤは王のために哀歌を作り、神殿の歌い手たちはそれを歌いました。今日まで、彼らはなおヨシヤの死について悲しみの歌を歌っています。それが『哀歌』に記されているからです。
26 ヨシヤ王のその他の業績、王が主の律法に忠実に生きたことは、 27 『イスラエルとユダ諸王の年代記』に記されています。

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.

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.
