2 Hina 22
1 Yousaia da lalelegele, ode godoane esalu, e da muni Yuda hina bagade hamoi. E da Yelusalemega esala, ode 31 agoanega Yuda fi ouligilalu. Ea ame da Yedaida (Ada: ia ea idiwi. E da Bosaga: de moilaiga misi).
Josiah was eight years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 31 years. His mother was Jedidah and his grandfather was Adaiah from Bozkath [town].
2 Yousaia da Hina Gode hahawane ba: ma: ne hamoi. E da ea musa: aowa hina bagade Da: ibidi ea hou defele, Gode Ea sema huluane nabawane hamosu.
Josiah did things that were pleasing to Yahweh and conducted his life as his ancestor King David had done. He completely obeyed [IDM] all the laws of God.
3 Yuda hina bagade Yousaia ea ouligibi ode 18 amoga, e da hina bagade diasua amogai esalebe fi dunu ilia sia: dedesu dunu Sia: ifa: ne (A: salaia egefe amola Misiala: me ea aowa) amo Debolo Diasuga asunasi.
After Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years, he sent his secretary Shaphan, the son of Azaliah and grandson of Meshullam, to the temple with these instructions:
4 E da Sia: ifa: nema amane hamoma: ne sia: i, “Di gobele salasu Ouligisudafa Hiligaia ema asili, muni amo da gobele salasu dunu da Debolo Diasu logo holeiga hawa: hamonana, ilia da dunudafa ilima labe, muni dedene legei amo lama.
“Go to Hilkiah, the Supreme Priest, and tell him to give me a report, telling me how much money the men who guard the doors of the temple have collected from the people [as offerings].
5 Hiligaiama amane hamoma: ne sia: ma. E da muni lai, amo dunu da Debolo Diasu amo bu buga: le gagusu ouligisu, ilima ima: ne sia: ma.
Then tell him to give all that money to the men who are supervising the work of repairing the temple.
6 Ouligisu dunu ilia da amo muni mogili diasu gagusu dunu amola gelega hahamosu dunu ilima ima: ne sia: ma. Amola muni mogili amoga ilia da ifa da: fe amola gele amo Debolo bu buga: le gagumusa: , bidi lama: ne sia: ma.
They must give that money to the carpenters, the builders, and the masons, and they should also buy the timber and the stones that they will use to repair the temple.
7 Amo hawa: hamosu ouligisu dunu da moloidafa dunu. Amaiba: le, amo muni ea ahoabe logo mae dedene legema.”
But the men who supervise the work will not be required to make a report on the money that is given to them, saying what they spent it for, because those men are completely honest.”
8 Sia: ifa: ne da hina bagade ea hamoma: ne sia: si amo Hiligaiama olelei. 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 ianu, Sia: ifa: ne da amo idi.
[After Shaphan said that to Hilkiah] the king’s secretary, Hilkiah said to Shaphan, “I have found in the temple a scroll on which is written the laws [that God gave to Moses]!” Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan, and he started to read it.
9 Amalalu, e da hina bagadema bu asili, amane sia: i, “Dia hawa: hamosu dunu ilia da muni amo da Debolo Diasu ganodini dialu, amo lale, bu buga: le gagusu ouligisu dunu ilima i dagoi.”
Then Shaphan [took the scroll] to the king and said to him, “Your temple guards have taken the money that was in the temple, and they have given it to the men who will supervise the work of repairing the temple.”
10 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 said to the king, [“I have brought to you] a scroll that Hilkiah gave to me.” And Shaphan started to read it to the king.
11 Hina bagade da meloa idibi nababeba: le, bagadewane fofogadigili da: i dione, ea abula gadelale fasi.
When the king heard the laws that were written in the scroll that Shaphan was reading to him, he tore his clothes [because he was very dismayed].
12 Amola e da gobele salasu dunu Hiligaia amola Ahaiga: me (Sia: ifa: ne egefe) amola A: gabo (Maigaia egefe) amola sia: dedesu dunu Sia: ifa: ne amola hina bagade hina: hawa: hamosu dunu A: sahaia, ilima amane hamoma: ne sia: i,
Then he gave these instructions to Hilkiah, to Shaphan’s son Ahikam, to Micaiah’s son Achbor, and to Asaiah, the king’s special advisor:
13 “Dilia asili, amo meloa ea olelesu bai dawa: ma: ne, Hina Gode Ea fada: i sia: hogolalu, nama amola Yuda fi dunu huluanema adoma. Ninia aowalali da amo meloa ea hamoma: ne sia: i amo nabawane hame hamobeba: le, Hina Gode da ninima ougisa.”
“Go and ask Yahweh for me and for all the people of Judah, about what is written in this scroll that has been found. Because [it is clear that] Yahweh is very angry with us because our ancestors disobeyed what was written on this scroll, things that we [should have done].”
14 Hiligaia amola Ahaiga: me, A:gabo, Sia: ifa: ne, amola A: sahaia, ilia da balofede uda amo da Yelusaleme 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, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to (consult/talk with) a woman whose name was Huldah, who was a prophetess who lived in the newer/northern part of Jerusalem. Her husband Shallum, son of Tikvah and grandson of Harhas, took care of the robes that were worn [in the temple] (OR, [by the king]). [Those five men told her about the scroll].
15 Halada da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia hina bagadema buhagili, Hina Gode Ea sia: si ema amane sia: ma,
She said to them, “This is what Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] says: ‘Go back and tell the king who sent you
16 ‘Na da meloa amo hina bagade da idi, amoga dedei defele, Na da Yelusaleme amola Yelusaleme fi dunu ilima se dabe imunu.
that this is what Yahweh says: “Listen to this carefully. I am going to cause all the people who live here in Jerusalem to experience a disaster, which is what was written in the scroll that the king has read.
17 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.
I will do that because they have abandoned me, and they burn incense to [honor] other gods. They have caused me to become very angry by [worshiping] the idols that they have made (OR, by all the wicked things that they have done), and my anger is like [MET] a fire that will not be put out.”
18 Be hina bagadema Na, Isala: ili fi ilia Hina Gode, da amane sia: sa, ‘Di da meloa ganodini dedei liligi nabi dagoi.
The king of Judah sent you to inquire what I, Yahweh, wanted you to do, so this is what you should say to him: “Because you have heeded what was written in the scroll,
19 Amola di da Na midadi sinidigili, dia hou fonobone, dia abula gadelale, dinanu. Bai di da Na sia: amo Na da Yelusaleme 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. Be Na da dia sia: ne gadosu nabi dagoi.
and you repented and humbled yourself when you heard what I said to warn you [about what would happen to] this city and the people who live here and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you. I said that I would cause this city to be abandoned. It will be a city whose name people will use when they curse someone. But I have heard what you prayed,
20 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.
so I will allow you to die [EUP] and be buried peacefully. I will cause the people who live here to experience a terrible disaster, but you will not [be alive to] see it.”’” After the men heard that, they returned to King Josiah and gave him that message.
