35 ¹Yosiya anachitira Atate wathu Paska mu Yerusalemu; anapha mwana wankhosa wa Paska pa tsiku la khumi ndi chinayi la mwezi woyamba. ²Anaika ansembe pa ntchito zawo, nawalimbikitsa pa utumiki wa nyumba ya Atate wathu. ³Anati kwa Alevi amene anaphunzitsa Aisrayeli onse, ndiponso anali opatulikira Atate wathu: “Ikani likasa loyera m'nyumba imene Solomoni mwana wa Davide, mfumu ya Israyeli, anamanga. Simuyeneranso kulinyamula pa mapewa anu. Tsopano tumikirani Atate wanu ndi anthu ake Aisrayeli. ⁴Dzikonzani monga mwa nyumba za makolo anu, monga mwa magulu anu, monga mwa malangizo olembedwa a Davide mfumu ya Israyeli, ndi malangizo a Solomoni mwana wake. ⁵Imani pa malo oyera monga mwa magulu a mabanja a abale anu wamba, gulu limodzi la Alevi pa gulu lililonse. ⁶Phani mwana wankhosa wa Paska, dzipatuleni, ndipo konzerani abale anu, molingana ndi mau a Atate wathu amene anapereka kudzera mwa Mose.”

⁷Yosiya anapatsa anthu wamba ana a nkhosa ndi ana a mbuzi 30,000, ng'ombe zamphongo 3,000, kuti zikhale nsembe za Paska—za aliyense amene analipo, zochokera m'chuma chake. ⁸Akuluakulu akenso anapereka mwaufulu kwa anthu, ansembe, ndi Alevi. Hilikiya, Zekariya, ndi Yehieli, akuluakulu a nyumba ya Atate wathu, anapatsa ansembe nsembe za Paska 2,600 ndi ng'ombe zamphongo 300. ⁹Konaniya, pamodzi ndi abale ake Semaya ndi Netaneli, ndi Hasabiya, Yeiyeli, ndi Yozabadi, atsogoleri a Alevi, anapatsa Alevi nsembe za Paska 5,000 ndi ng'ombe zamphongo 500.

¹⁰Utumiki unakonzedwa; ansembe anaimirira pa malo awo, Alevi monga mwa magulu awo, monga mmene mfumu inalamulira. ¹¹Anapha ana a nkhosa a Paska; ansembe anawaza mwazi umene anawapatsa, ndipo Alevi anawasenda. ¹²Anapatula nsembe zopsereza, nazigawa monga mwa magulu a mabanja pakati pa anthu wamba, kuti azipereke kwa Atate wathu monga kunalembedwa m'buku la Mose; chimodzimodzinso ndi ng'ombe zamphongo. ¹³Anawotcha mwana wankhosa wa Paska pa moto monga mwa lamulo, naphika nsembe zoyera m'miphika, m'maketulo, ndi m'mapani, nazibweretsa mofulumira kwa anthu wamba onse. ¹⁴Pambuyo pake anadzikonzera okha ndi ansembe, popeza ansembe, ana a Aroni, anali otanganidwa kupereka nsembe zopsereza ndi mafuta mpaka usiku; choncho Alevi anadzikonzera okha ndi ansembe, ana a Aroni. ¹⁵Oyimba, ana a Asafu, anaimirira pa malo awo monga mmene Davide, Asafu, Hemani, ndi Yedutuni mlosi wa mfumu analamulira. Alonda a pazipata anakhala pa chipata chilichonse; sanafunike kusiya ntchito yawo, pakuti Alevi anzawo anawakonzera.

¹⁶Choncho utumiki wonse wa Atate wathu unakonzedwa tsiku limenelo: kuchita Paska ndi kupereka nsembe zopsereza paguwa la nsembe la Atate wathu, molingana ndi lamulo la mfumu Yosiya. ¹⁷Aisrayeli amene analipo anachita Paska pa nthawi imeneyo, ndi Phwando la Buledi Wopanda Yisiti masiku asanu ndi awiri. ¹⁸Panalibe Paska yofanana nayo imene inachitika mu Israyeli chiyambire masiku a Samueli mneneri; palibe mfumu ina ya Israyeli imene inachita Paska ngati ya Yosiya, pamodzi ndi ansembe, Alevi, Ayuda onse ndi Aisrayeli amene analipo, ndi anthu okhala mu Yerusalemu. ¹⁹Paska iyi inachitika m'chaka cha khumi ndi chisanu ndi chitatu cha ufumu wa Yosiya.

Sindikubwera kudzalimbana nawe lero, koma nyumba imene ndikuchita nayo nkhondo. Mulungu wandiuza kuti ndifulumire—leka kutsutsa Mulungu, amene ali nane, kuti angakuwononge.”

²²Yosiya sanabwerere kuchoka kwa iye, koma anadzizimbaitsa kuti amenyane naye. Sanamvere mau a Neko amene anachokera m'kamwa mwa Atate wathu, ndipo anapita kukamenya nkhondo ku chigwa cha Megido. ^a a v22 Chenjezo la Atate wathu linafika kwa Yosiya ngakhale kudzera m'kamwa mwa mfumu yachilendo, koma Yosiya sanamvere — ndipo chimene chinayenera kumuteteza sichinamvedwe. ²³Oponya mivi anawombera mfumu Yosiya; iye anati kwa atumiki ake, “Nditulutseni—ndavulazidwa kwambiri.”

Ichi chinakhala chizolowezi mu Israyeli, ndipo chinalembedwa m'buku la Maliro. ²⁶Ntchito zina za Yosiya, ndi machitidwe ake okhulupirika molingana ndi zimene zinalembedwa m'chilamulo cha Atate wathu. ²⁷Ntchito zake, kuyambira yoyamba mpaka yotsiriza, zinalembedwa m'buku la Mafumu a Israyeli ndi Yuda.
