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.

Eight years old, was Josiah when he begun to reign, —and, thirty-one years, reigned he 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 eyes of Yahweh, —and walked in the ways of David his father, 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, he, being yet a boy, he began to seek unto the God of David his father, -and, in the twelfth year, he began to purify Judah and Jerusalem, from the high places and the Sacred Stems, and the carved images 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 they threw down before him, the altars of the Baalim, and, the sun-pillars which were on high above them, he hewed down, —and, the Sacred Stems and the carved images and the molten images, brake he in pieces and ground to dust, and tossed over the face of the graves, of them who had been sacrificing unto 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, the bones of the priests, burned he upon their altars, —and so purified Judah 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.

also throughout the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even as far as Naphtali, —searched he their houses, round about.

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, when he had thrown down the altars and the Sacred Stems, and, the images, he had beaten to powder, and, the sun-pillars, he had hewn down throughout all the land of Israel, then returned he 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, when he had purified the land and the house, he sent Shaphan son of Azaliah and Maaseiah the ruler of the city and Joah son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of Yahweh 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.)

So they went in unto Hilkiah the high priest, and delivered the silver that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the entrance-hall had collected from the hand of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah and Benjamin, —and returned to Jerusalem.

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

And the overseers in the house of Yahweh, delivered it into the hand of the doer of the work, —yea they delivered it to the doers of the work, because they were working in the house of Yahweh, in searching and repairing 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.

yea they delivered it to the artificers and to the builders, to buy carved stones and timbers for the joinings, —and to build up the houses which the kings of Judah 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.

Now, the men, were working faithfully in the work, and over them as overseers, were—Jahath and Obadiah, Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to preside, —and Levites, all who had understanding in instruments of song;

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

also over the burden-bearers, and such as took the lead, for everyone who was working in any manner of service, —and, of the Levites, were scribes and officers and doorkeepers.

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.

Now, as they were taking out the silver which had been brought into the house of Yahweh, Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of Yahweh, 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.

Then spake up Hilkiah, and said unto Shaphan the scribe, The Book of the Law, have I found, in the house of Yahweh, —and Hilkiah gave the book unto Shaphan.

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.

Then Shaphan took in the book unto the king, and returned yet further unto the king a message, saying, —All that was delivered into the hand of thy servants, they are doing;

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 poured out the silver, that was found in the house of Yahweh, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of the doers of 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.

Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, A book, hath Hilkiah the priest given to me. And Shaphan, read therein, 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 clothes.

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,

Then did the king command Hilkiah—and Ahikam son of Shaphan—and Abdon son of Micah—and Shaphan the scribe—and Asaiah 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 Yahweh for me, and for the remnant in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book which hath been found, —for great is the wrath of Yahweh, which hath been poured out upon us, because our fathers, kept not, the word of Yahweh, to do according to all that is 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.

So Hilkiah and they whom the king had named went into Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum son of Tokhath son of Hasrah keeper of the wardrobe, she, having her dwelling in Jerusalem, in the new city, —and they spake unto 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 unto them, Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, —Say ye unto the man who hath sent you unto 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 Yahweh, Behold me bringing in calamity upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, -even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah:

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 burned incense unto other gods, so as to provoke me to anger, with all the works of their hands, therefore hath my wrath been poured out upon this place, and 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.

But, unto the king of Judah, who hath sent you to enquire of Yahweh, thus, shall ye say unto him, —Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast 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.

Because tender was thy heart, and thou didst humble thyself before God when thou heardest his words against this place and against the inhabitants thereof, and didst humble thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes and weep before me, therefore, I also, have heard, is the declaration of Yahweh.

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 me! gathering thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered unto thy sepulchres in peace, and thine eyes shall not look upon all the calamity which, I, am bringing in upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof. And they returned, unto the king, the message.

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

Then the king sent, —and gathered together all the elders of Judah 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 Yahweh—and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem—and the priests and the Levites, and all the people, from the great even unto the small, —and he read in their ears, all the words of the book of the covenant, which had been found in the house of Yahweh.

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 in his place, and solemnised the covenant before Yahweh, to walk after Yahweh, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes, with all his heart and with all his soul, —to perform the words of the covenant that are 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 to take a stand, all that were present in Jerusalem, and Benjamin, —and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the 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 Josiah removed all the abominations, out of all the lands which belonged to the sons of Israel, and caused all that were present in Jerusalem to serve, yea to serve, Yahweh their God, —all his days, turned they not aside from following Yahweh, God of their fathers.
