2 Hou Olelesu 34

1 Yousaia da lalelegele, ode godoane esalu, e da bai muni Yuda hina bagade hamoi. E da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega esala, ode 31 agoanega Yuda fi ouligilalu.

Josias was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.

2 Yousaia da Hina Gode hahawane ba: ma: ne hamoi. E da ea musa: aowa hina bagade Da: ibidi ea hou defele, Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i huluane nabawane hamosu.

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father David, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.

3 Hina bagade ayeligi Yousaia ea ouligisu ode godoanega, e da muni ea aowa hina bagade Da: ibidi ea Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu hou hamosu. Ode biyaduyale eno da gidigili, e da bai muni ogogosu ‘gode’ma nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi amola wadela: i uda ‘gode’ Asila agoai loboga hamoi liligi amola eno wadela: i loboga hamoi ‘gode’ huluane bai muni gugunufinisisu.

And in the eighth year of his reign, and he [being] yet a youth, he began to seek the Lord God of his father David: and in the twelfth year of his reign he began to purge Juda and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the ornaments for the altars, and the molten images.

4 Ea sia: beba: le, ilia da oloda amoga dunu da Ba: ilema nodone sia: ne gadosu, amola eno gadenene gabusiga: manoma gobele salasu oloda, amo gagoudane fasi. Ilia da Asila agoai liligi amola loboga hamoi ‘gode’ huluane gagagoudane fasili, gulu agoane hamone, amola dunu da ilima sia: ne gadosu, ilia ulidogone sali da: iya dudulisi.

And he pulled down the altars of Baalim that were before his face, and the high places that were above them; and he cut down the groves, and the graven images, and broke in pieces the molten images, and reduced them to powder, and cast [it] upon the surface of the tombs of those who [had] sacrificed to them.

5 E da ogogosu gobele salasu dunu ilia gasa amo oloda amoga ilia da musa: nodone sia: ne gadosu, amo da: iya gobele sali. Amo hamobeba: le, e da Yuda amola Yelusaleme fi ilia nigima: fadegamusa: dodofei.

And he burnt the bones of the priests upon the altars, and purged Juda and Jerusalem.

6 Amo hou defele, e da moilai bai bagade amola gugunufinisi soge amo da Ma: na: se, Ifala: ime, Simione amola soge asili ga (north) Na: fadalaiga doaga: sa, amo soge huluane ganodini hamosu.

And [he did so] in the cities of Manasse, and Ephraim, and Symeon, and Nephthali, and the places round about them.

7 E da ga (north) fi (Isala: ili) ilia soge ganodini, oloda amola ogogosu uda ‘gode’ agoai loboga hamoi liligi, amo huluane gagagoudane fasili, gulu agoane hamoi. E da gabusiga: manoma gobele salimusa: hamoi oloda huluane gagagoudane fasi. Amalu, e da Yelusalemega buhagi.

And he pulled down the altars and the groves, and he cut the idols in small pieces, and cut off all the high places from all the land of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem.

8 Yuda hina bagade Yousaia ea ouligibi ode 18 amoga, e da wadela: i ogogosu ‘gode’ma nodone sia: ne gadosu hou huluane fadegaiba: le, Debolo Diasu amola Yuda soge da nigima: dodofei dagoi ba: i. Amogalu, hina bagade Yousaia da dunu udiana amo Debolo Diasu dodoa: ma: ne asunasi. Ilia dio da Sia: ifa: ne (A: salaia egefe), Ma: iasia (Yelusaleme bisili ouligisu dunu) amola Youa (Youaha: se egefe. E da eagene bisilua dunu).

And in the eighteenth year of his reign, after having cleansed the land, and the house, he sent Saphan the son of Ezelias, and Maasa prefect of the city, and Juach son of Joachaz his recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God.

9 Muni amo Lifai dunu da Debolo Diasu ganodini lidi, ilia da gobele salasu ouligisudafa Hiligaiama ianusu. (Amo muni ilia da Ifala: ime fi, Ma: na: se fi amola Ga (north) Fi dunu eno, Yuda fi, Bediamini fi amola Yelusaleme esalebe fi, ilima lidi.)

And they came to Chelcias the high priest, and gave the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the gate collected of the hand of Manasse and Ephraim, and of the princes, and of every one that was left in Israel, and of the children of Juda and Benjamin, and of the dwellers in Jerusalem.

10 Ilia da amo muni lidi, amo dunu udiana da Debolo Diasu amo bu buga: le gagusu ouligisu, ilima iasu.

And they gave it into the hand of the workmen, who were appointed in the house of the Lord, and they gave it to the workmen who wrought in the house of the Lord, to repair and strengthen the house.

11 Ouligisu dunu ilia da amo muni mogili diasu gagusu dunu amola gelega hahamosu dunu ilima iasu. Amola muni mogili amoga ilia da ifa da: fe amola gele amo Debolo bu buga: le gagumusa: , bidi lama: ne sia: i. Bai Yuda hina bagade ilia da noga: le hame ouligibiba: le, Debolo da dasai ba: i.

They gave [it] also to the carpenters and builders, to buy squared stones, and timber for beams to cover the houses which the kings of Juda had destroyed.

12 Amo hawa: hamosu ouligisu dunu da moloidafa dunu. Ilima ouligisu dunu da Lifai fi dunu biyaduyale gala. Ilia dio da Ya: iha: de amola Oubadaia (ela da Milalai sosogo fi dunu) amola Segalaia amola Misiala: me (ela da Gouha: de sosogo fi dunu). Lifai fi dunu huluane da medenegi gesami hea: lala dusu dunu ba: i.

And the men [were] faithfully [engaged] in the works: and over them were superintendents, Jeth and Abdias, Levites of the sons of Merari, and Zacharias and Mosollam, of the sons of Caath, [appointed] to oversee; and every Levite, and every one that understood [how] to play on musical instruments.

13 Lifai fi dunu eno ilia da liligi gaguli ahoasu hawa: hamosu ouligisu, amola oda da eno hawa: hamosu ouligisu.

And [overseers were] over the burden-bearers, and over all the workmen in the respective works; and of the Levites [were appointed] scribes, and judges, and porters.

14 Ilia da muni ea sesei amoga lidili ahoana, Hiligaia da Hina Gode Ea Sema Dedei Meloa (Sema amo Gode da musa: Mousesema i) amo ba: i dagoi.

And when they brought forth the money that had been brought into the house of the Lord, Chelcias the priest found a book of the law of the Lord [given] by the hand of Moses.

15 Hiligaia da Sia: ifa: nema amane sia: i, “Na da ‘Gode Ea Sema Dedei Meloa’ amo Debolo ganodini dialebe ba: i dagoi.” E da amo meloa Sia: ifa: nema I.

And Chelcias answered and said to Saphan the scribe, I have found a book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Chelcias gave the book to Saphan.

16 Sia: ifa: ne da amo meloa hina bagadema gaguli asili, ema amane sia: i, “Ninia da dia hamoma: ne sia: i defele hamoi dagoi.

And Saphan brought in the book to the king, and moreover gave an account to the king, [saying, This is] all the money given into the hand of thy servants that work.

17 Ninia da muni amo da Debolo Diasu ganodini dialu, amo lale, bu buga: le gagusu dunu amola ilia ouligisu dunu ilima i dagoi.”

And they have collected the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and given it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of them that do the work.

18 Amalalu, e da eno amane sia: i, “Na da meloa amo Hiligaia da nama i gagui diala.” Amola e da amo meloa hina bagade nabima: ne idi.

And Saphan the scribe brought word to the king, saying, Chelcias the priest has given me a book. And Saphan read it before the king.

19 Hina bagade da meloa idibi nababeba: le, bagadewane fofogadigili, da: i dione, ea abula gadelale fasi.

And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the law, that he rent his garments.

20 Amola e da gobele salasu dunu Hiligaia amola Ahaiga: me (Sia: ifa: ne egefe) amola A: gabo (Maiga: ia egefe) amola sia: dedesu dunu Sia: ifa: ne amola hina bagade hina: hawa: hamosu dunu A: sahaia, ilima amane hamoma: ne sia: i,

And the king commanded Chelcias, and Achicam the son of Saphan, and Abdom the son of Michaias, and Saphan the scribe, and Asia the servant of the king, saying,

21 “Dilia asili, amo meloa ea olelesu bai dawa: ma: ne, Hina Gode Ea fada: i sia: hogolalu, nama amola dunu huluane amo da Isala: ili amola Yuda soge ganodini hame mugului esala, ninima adoma. Ninia aowalali da amo meloa ea hamoma: ne sia: i amo nabawane hame hamobeba: le, Hina Gode da ninima ougisa.”

Go, enquire of the Lord for me, and for every one that is left in Israel and Juda, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord [which] has been kindled amongst us, because our fathers have not hearkened to the words of the Lord, to do according to all the things written in this book.

22 Hiligaia amola Ahaiga: me, A:gabo, Sia: ifa: ne, amola A: sahaia, ilia da balofede uda amo da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade la: idi gaheabolo gagui amo ganodini esalu, ea dio amo Halada amo ea fada: i sia: nabimusa: asi. (Halada egoa Sia: lamee da Debolo Diasu hadigi abula amo ouligisu). Ilia da Haladama amo meloa da ba: i dagoi olelei.

And Chelcias went, and [the others] whom the king told, to Olda the prophetess, the wife of Sellem son of Thecoe, son of Aras, who kept the commandments; and she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second [quarter]: and they spoke to her accordingly.

23 Halada da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia hina bagadema buhagili, Hina Gode Ea sia: si ema amane sia: ma,

And she said to them, Thus has the Lord God of Israel said, Tell the man who sent you to me,

24 “Na da meloa amo hina bagade da idi, amoga gagabusu aligima: ne dedei defele, Na da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade amola Yelusaleme fi dunu ilima se dabe imunu.

Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I bring evil upon this place, [even] all the words that are written in the book that was read before the king of Juda:

25 Ilia da Na higale, eno ogogosu ‘gode’ma gobele salasu hamobeba: le, Na ougima: ne hamoi dagoi. Na da Yelusaleme fi ilima Na ougi da gia: iwane heda: i dagoi, amola bu gumimu da hamedei.”

because they have forsaken me, and burnt incense to strange gods, that they might provoke me by all the works of their hands; and my wrath is kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.

26 Be hina bagadema Na, Isala: ili fi ilia Hina Gode, da amane sia: sa, ‘Di da meloa ganodini dedei liligi nabi dagoi.

And concerning the king of Juda, who sent you to seek the Lord, —thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, [As for] the words which thou has heard,

27 Amola di da Na ba: ma: ne, sinidigili, dia hou fonobone, dia abula gadelale, dinanu. Bai di da Na sia: amo Na da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade amola amoga fi dunu ilima se dabe imunu, amola Yelusaleme gugunufinisi dagoiba: le, dunu ilia da amo beda: ne fofogadigili ba: mu, amola Yelusaleme dio amoga gagabusu aligima: ne sia: mu, amo sia: nababeba: le, di da dia hou fonoboi. Na da dia sia: ne gadosu nabi dagoi.

forasmuch as thy heart was ashamed, and thou was humbled before me when thou heardest my words against this place, and against the inhabitants of it, and thou wast humbled before me, and didst rend thy garments, and didst weep before me; I also have heard, saith the Lord.

28 Amola se dabe iasu amo Na da Yelusaleme fi ilima iasimu, amo da di amogai esalea, dia hame ba: mu. Na da di fa: no olofole bogoma: ne, logo doasimu.’” Sia: adola ahoasu dunu, ilia da amo sia: ne iasu hina bagade Yousaiama adomusa: , ema buhagi.

Behold, I [will] gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, and thine eyes shall not look upon all the evils which I am bringing upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of it. And they brought back word to the king.

29 Yuda hina bagade Yousaia da Yuda soge fi amola Yelusaleme fi ilia ouligisu dunu amo huluane gagadole,

And the king sent and gathered the elders of Juda and Jerusalem.

30 ili amola gobele salasu dunu huluane, amola balofede dunu huluane amola fi dunu huluanedafa (bagade gagui dunu amola hame gagui dunu) ilia da Debolo Diasuga gilisili asi. Ilia si da: iya, hina bagade Yousaia da Gousa: su Meloa amo ilia da Debolo Diasu ba: i, amo ganodini dedei huluane ilima idili i.

And the king went up to the house of the Lord, [he] and all Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that were found in the house of the Lord.

31 E da hina bagade duni bugi amo dafulili lelu, e da Hina Gode Ea sia: nabawane hamomusa: , dafawane ilegele sia: i. E da mae fisili, ea dogo amola asigi dawa: su huluane amoga, e da Hina Gode Ea sema amola hamoma: ne sia: i, amoma fa: no bobogemusa: , dafawane ilegele sia: i. Amo hamoma: ne sia: i amo da Gousa: su Meloa amo ganodini dedei, e da amo huluane nabawane hamomusa: , dafawane ilegele sia: i.

And the king stood at a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk before the Lord, to keep his commandments and testimonies, and his ordinances, with all [his] heart and with all [his] soul, so as to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.

32 Amola e da Bediamini fi amola dunu huluane Yelusalemega esalu, amo defele hamomusa: , dafawane ilegele sia: musa: lologei. Amaiba: le, Yelusaleme fi dunu da Gousa: su amo ilia aowalalia Gode da ilima hamoi, amo hamoma: ne sia: i nabawane hamomusa: sia: i.

And he caused all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand; and the inhabitants of Jerusalem made a covenant in the house of the Lord God of their fathers.

33 Amalalu, Yousaia da wadela: idafa loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi huluane Isala: ili soge ganodini dialu, amo huluane gugunufinisisu. Amo ea esalusu eso huluane ganodini, e da ea fi dunu ilia aowalalia Hina Gode amo Ea hawa: hamosu hamoma: ne sesei.

And Josias removed all the abominations out of the whole land which belonged to the children of Israel, and caused all that were found in Jerusalem and in Israel, to serve the Lord their God all his days: he departed not from following the Lord God of his fathers.
