2 Hina 23
1 Yuda hina bagade Yousaia da Yuda soge fi amola Yelusaleme fi ilia ouligisu dunu amo huluane gagadole,
Then the king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
2 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.
He went to the Lord's Temple with all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, together with the priests and the Levites, all the people from the least to the greatest, and he read to them the whole Book of the Agreement that had been discovered in the Lord's Temple.
3 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.

The king stood by the pillar and made a solemn agreement before the Lord to follow him and to keep his commandments, laws, and regulations with total dedication, and to observe the requirements of the agreement as written in the book. All the people entered into the agreement.
4 Amalalu, Yousaia da gobele salasu ouligisudafa Hiligaia amola ea afoha gobele salasu dunu ili, amola Debolo logo holeiga sosodo aligisu dunu ili, ilia da loboga hamoi liligi Debolo ganodini dialu, amoga dunu da Ba: ile amola uda ‘gode’ Asila amola gasumuni ilima nodone sia: ne gadosu, amo liligi huluane gadili gaguli masa: ne sia: i. Yuda hina bagade da amo liligi huluane moilai hamega Gidalone Fago gadenene, amo laluga gobele salalu, nasubu amo Bedele moilaiga gaguli masa: ne sia: i.
Then the king ordered Hilkiah the high priest, the priests of second rank, and the doorkeepers to remove from the Lord's Temple everything made for Baal, Asherah, and the worship of sun, moon, and stars. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the Kidron fields and took their ashes to Bethel.
5 E da gobele salasu dunu, amo musa: Yuda hina bagade ilia da Yuda soge ganodini moilale gagai amola Yelusaleme gadenene dialu, amo ganodini ogogosu ‘gode’ oloda da: iya gobele salasu hamoma: ne ilegei, - gobele salasu dunu amo da Ba: ile amola eso amola oubi, amola gasumuni ilima gobele salalusu, amo huluane Yousaia da mugululi fasi.
He also dismissed the priests appointed by the kings of Judah to present burnt offerings on the high places of the towns of Judah and in the places all around Jerusalem, those who had sacrificed to Baal, to the sun and moon, to the constellations, and to all the powers of heaven.
6 E da wadela: i uda ‘gode’ Asila agoaila loboga hamoi amo Debolo ganodini dialu, amo gadili gaguli asili, moilai hamega Gidalone Fago gadenene laluga gobele, ea gasa ganumu amo huluane nasubu su agoane hamoma: ne dadabilalu, dunudafa ilia bogoi uli dogosu sogebi amo da: iya dudulisisi.
He removed the Asherah pole from the Lord's Temple and took it to the Kidron Valley outside Jerusalem. He burned it there, ground it into dust, and threw its dust over the graves of the ordinary people.
7 E da Debolo ganodini sesei dialu, amogawi hina: da: i bidi lasu uda amola dunu amogai esafulu, amo huluane wadela: lesi. (Amogawi, uda ilia da ogogole ‘gode’ Asilama nodoma: ne sia: ne gadomusa: , abula loboga amunasu.)
He also demolished the quarters of the cult prostitutes that were in the Lord's Temple, where the women used to weave tapestries for the Asherah.
8 E da gobele salasu dunu amo da Yuda moilai hisu hisu ganodini esalu, amo huluane Yelusalemega oule misi. Amola Yuda soge huluane ganodini, e da oloda amo da: iya ilia gobele salalusu, amo huluane wadela: lesi. Amola e da oloda huluane amo da goudi wadela: i a: silibu amoma nodone sia: ne gadomusa: gagui, amo huluane Yousaia da gagoudane sasali. Amo oloda ilia da logo holei amo Yosiua (moilai ouligisu dunu) ea gagui, amo gadenene ba: i. Amola amo logo holei da moilai mimogo logo holei amo ea fofadidi dialebe ba: i.
Josiah brought to Jerusalem all the priests from the towns of Judah and defiled the high places, from Geba to Beersheba, where the priests had sacrificed burnt offerings. He demolished the high places of the gates, near to the entrance of the gate of Joshua, the governor of the city, which was left of the town gate.
9 Gobele salasu dunu moilai hisu hisu amoga esalu, amo e da mugululi fasilalu, amo gobele salasu dunu da Yelusalemega oule misini, ilia da Debolo ganodini mae hawa: hamoma: ne sia: i. Be ilia da yisidi hame sali agi, amo da ilia na: iyado gobele salasu hawa: hamosu dunu, ilima i, amo fawane da ilia moma: ne sia: i.
Though the priests of the high places did not serve at the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, they did eat unleavened bread with their brother priests.
10 Hina bagade Yousaia amolawane da ogogosu ‘gode’ma nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi Hinome Fago ganodini diala, ea dio amo Doubede Sogebi, amo wadela: lesi. Bai amogawi musa: dunu ilia da ilia dunu mano o uda mano amo ogogosu ‘gode’ Moulegema gobele sasalalusu.
He defiled the Topheth altar in the Valley of Ben-hinnom so that no one could sacrifice his son or daughter in the fire to Molech.
11 Yousaia da hosi amolawane Yuda hina bagade ilia da esoma nodone sia: ne gadomusa: ilegei, amo huluane enodini asunasiagai. Amola esoma nodone sia: ne gadosu ‘sa: liode’, e da amo laluga gobele sali. (Amo ‘sa: liode’ ilia da Debolo gagoi ganodini, logo holei amola Na: ida: ne Milege (eagene ouligisu dunu bagade) ea diasu gadenene ouligi.)
He removed the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun from the entrance to the Lord's Temple. They were in the courtyard near the room of a eunuch named Nathan-melech. Josiah also burned the chariots dedicated to the sun.
12 Hina bagade Yousaia da oloda huluane amo Yuda hina bagade ilia da hina bagade diasu figisu da: iya, hina bagade A: iha: se ea sesei amo gadodili gagui, amola oloda huluane amo hina bagade Ma: na: se da Debolo gagoi aduna ganodini gagui, amo huluane e da gagoudane fasili, amola Gidalone Fagoa galagugudui.
He demolished the altars that the kings of Judah had set up on the roof near the upper chamber of Ahaz, and the altars Manasseh had placed in the two courtyards of the Lord's Temple. The king smashed them to pieces and scattered them in the Kidron Valley.
13 Amola oloda huluane amo hina bagade Soloumane da Yelusalemega gusudili amola Olife Goumia gadili (south) amo wadela: idafa ogogosu loboga hamoi ‘gode’ (Saidone fi ilia uda ‘gode’ A: siadalode, Moua: be fi ilia ‘gode’ Gimosie, A:mone fi ilia ‘gode’ Moulege) ilima nodone sia: ne gadomusa: gagui, amo huluane Yousaia da wadela: lesi.
The king also defiled the high places to the east of Jerusalem, to the south of the Mount of Corruption, the places which King Solomon of Israel had built for Ashtoreth, the vile goddess of the Sidonians, for Chemosh, the vile god of the Moabites, and for Molech, the vile god of the Ammonites.
14 Hina bagade Yousaia da gelega hamoi momogoi huluane gagoudane sali, amola wadela: i uda ‘gode’ Asila ea loboga hamoi agoaila huluane abusa: le fasi. Ilia bugisisi osobo amo Yousaia da dunu gasaga dedebolesi.
He smashed the sacred stone pillars to pieces, chopped down the Asherah poles, and covered the places with human bones.
15 Yousaia amolawane, e da ogogosu ‘godema’ nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi amo hina bagade Yelouboua: me (Niba: de egefe. E da Isala: ili fi wadela: le hamoma: ne oule asi) ea gagui liligi amo Yousaia da mugululi sali. Yousaia da oloda mugululi salalu, ilia gele gagoudane, su hamosu. Amola e da Asila e agoaila gobele sali.
He also demolished the altar at Bethel, the high place set up by Jeroboam, son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin. Then he burned the high place, ground it to dust, and burned the Asherah pole.
16 Amalu Yousaia da agolo damana lela ba: legagaloba, dunu bogoi amo ilia gasa da gele gelaboga diafulubi ba: i. Ea sia: ga ilia da amo gasa gadili gaguli asili, oloda da: iya gobele sali.

Hina bagade Yousaia da ba: le gagale, balofede dunu amo da musa: hou ba: la: lu, amo ea bogoi gele gelabo amo ba: i.
As Josiah looked around he saw some tombs there on the hill. He had the bones taken from the tombs, and he burned them on the altar to defile it, just as the Lord had said through the man of God who had prophesied these things.
17 E amane adole ba: i, “Amo bogoi gele gelabo da nowa eala: ? Bedele fi dunu da bu adole i, “Amo da balofede dunu, e da Yuda sogega misi amola dia wali olodaga hamobe amo ba: la: lu, amo balofede dunu bogoi amo ea: bogoi gele gelabo.”
Then he asked, “Whose gravestone is this that I see?” “It's the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed exactly what you have done to the altar of Bethel,” the townspeople replied.
18 Yousaia da amane sia: i, “Amanewane yolesima! Ea gasa mae muguluma!” Amaiba: le, ilia amo balofede ea gasa hame mugululi, amola balofede dunu eno amo da Samelia sogega misi, ea gasa amolawane hame mugului.
“Let him rest in peace,” said Josiah. “Don't anyone touch his bones.” So they left his bones undisturbed, together with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria.
19 E da Samelia soge moilai huluane amo ganodini, ogogosu ‘gode’ma nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi amo Isala: ili hina bagade ilia da hamobeba: le, Hina Gode da ougi bagade ba: i, Yousaia da Bedele moilaiga oloda hamoi mugululi fasi amo defele, amo oloda mugululi fasi.
Josiah destroyed, just as he did at Bethel, all the shrines of the high places in the towns of Samaria that the kings of Israel had built that had angered the Lord.
20 Wadela: i gobele salasu dunu huluane, e da ilila: hawa: hamosu oloda da: iya medole legei. Amola oloda huluane amo wadela: ma: ne, e da amo da: iya dunu gasa udigili gobele sali. Amalu, e da Yelusalemega buhagi.
Josiah slaughtered all the priests who were there at the high places on the altars, and burned human bones on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
21 Hina bagade Yousaia da Yuda fima, ilia da Hina Godema nodoma: ne, Baligisu Lolo Nasu amo Gousa: su Meloa ganodini dedei defele, amo hamoma: ne sia: i.
The king sent out an order to all the people, “Observe the Passover of the Lord your God, as it is written in this Book of the Agreement.”
22 Musa: bisisu dunu da Isala: ili ouligilalu amoganini amo esoha, amoga Isala: ili amola Yuda hina bagade ilia da Baligisu Lolo Nasu hamosu amo defele hame hamosu.
Such a Passover as this had not been observed from the days of the judges who ruled Israel on through all the days of the kings of Israel and Judah.
23 Be wali, Yousaia ea ouligibi ode18 amoga, ilia da Yelusalemega Baligisu Lolo Nasu hamoi.
But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was observed to honor the Lord in Jerusalem.
24 Hina bagade Yousaia da Meloa amo da gobele salasu Ouligisudafa Hiligaia Debolo Diasu ganodini ba: i, amo sema huluane meloa ganodini dedei, amoga molole fa: no bobogemusa: dawa: i. Amaiba: le, e da gesami dasu dunu amola wadela: i ba: la: lusu dunu amola diasua ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi, amola loboga hamoi ‘gode’, amola ogogosu ‘gode’ma nodone sia: ne gadosu liligi huluanedafa mugululi fasi.
In addition, Josiah got rid of the mediums and spiritists, the household gods and idols, and all the disgusting practices that were present in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. He did this to fulfill the words of the law written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had found in the Lord's Temple.
25 Hina bagade e agoai da musa: hame ba: i. E da ea dogoga amola ea asigi dawa: suga amola ea gasa huluanedafa, amoga e da Hina Gode Ea hawa: hamosu hamonanu. E da Mousese ea sema huluane nabawane hamosu. Amola e fa: no, hina bagade, e agoai hame ba: i.
Never before was there a king like him who committed himself to the Lord in all his thoughts and attitudes, and with all his strength, keeping all the Law of Moses. There was no king like him afterwards either.
26 Be hina bagade Ma: na: se da musa: wadela: i hou bagade hamobeba: le, Hina Gode da Yuda fima ougi bagade heda: i, amola waha amolawane Ea ougi da hame gumi.
However, the Lord had not given up his furious hostility, which burned against Judah because of all that Manasseh had done to anger him.
27 Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Na da Isala: ili fima hamoi amo defele Na da Yuda fima hamomu. Na da Yuda dunu bu mae ba: ma: ne, mugululi fasimu. Amola Na da Yelusaleme amola Debolo Diasu, Na fi dunu da amogawi Nama nodone sia: ne gadomusa: ilegei dagoi. Be wali Na da Yelusaleme amola Debolo diasu amo higale, fisiagamu.”
So the Lord announced, “I'm also going to banish Judah from my presence, just as I banished Israel. I will abandon this city that I have chosen, Jerusalem, and the Temple regarding which I said, My name will be there.”
28 Yuda hina bagade Yousaia ea hawa: hamonanu eno huluane da “Yuda hina bagade Ilia Hamonanu Meloa” amo ganodini dedene legei.
The rest of what happened in Josiah's reign, and all he did, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
29 Yousaia da Yuda fi ouligilaloba, Idibidi hina bagade Nigou da Asilia hina bagade fidima: ne, ea dadi gagui wa: i amo Iufala: idisi Hanoga oule asi. Hina bagade Yousaia da Migidou moilai bai bagadega Idibidi dadi gagui wa: i ilia gusuba: i ahoasu amo hedofamusa: dawa: i, be amo gegesuga, e da medole legei dagoi ba: i.
While Josiah was still king, Pharaoh Neco, king of Egypt, led his army to help the king of Assyria at the Euphrates River. King Josiah took his army to fight him at Megiddo, but when Neco saw Josiah he killed him.
30 Ea dadi gagui wa: i ouligisu dunu ilia da ea bogoi da: i hodo amo ‘sa: liode’ da: iya ligisili, Yelusalemega bu gaguli misi. Amogawi, ilia da ea da: i hodo amo hina bagade bogoi uli dogosu sogebi amo ganodini uli dogone sali. Yuda fi dunu da Yousaia egefe Youaha: se amo hina bagade hamoma: ne, susuligi sogala: le ilegei dagoi.
His servants put his body in a chariot, brought him back from Megiddo to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. Then the people of the land chose Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him king in succession to his father.
31 Youaha: se da lalelegele, ode 23 esalu, e da muni Yuda hina bagade hamoi. E da Yelusalemega esala, oubi osodayale agoane Yuda fi ouligilalu. Ea ame da Hamiudale (Yelemaia ea idiwi. E da Libina moilai bai bagadega misi.)
Jehoahaz was twenty-three when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah. She came from Libnah.
32 E da ea aowalali ilia hou defele, Hina Godema wadela: le hamoi.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as all his forefathers had done.
33 Idibidi hina bagade Nigou da Libila moilai bai bagadega (Ha: ima: de soge ganodini) amogawi Youaha: se gagulaligili, e da Yuda dunu ema silifa defei 3,000 gilo amola gouli 30 gilo dabe ema ima: ne sia: i.
Pharaoh Neco imprisoned Jehoahaz at Riblah in the land of Hamath to stop him ruling in Jerusalem. He also imposed on Judah a tribute of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
34 Hina bagade Nigou da Yousaia egefe eno Ilaiagime, amo Yousaia bagia Yuda hina bagade hamoi. E da Ilaiagime ea dio afadenene, bu Yihoiagimi dio ema asuli. Hina bagade Nigou da Youaha: se amo Idibidi sogega oule asili, e da amogawi bogoi.
Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim, son of Josiah, king in succession to his father Josiah, and he changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Jehoahaz to Egypt, where he died.
35 Idibidi hina bagade da Yuda fi ilia ema su dabe ima: ne sia: i. Amo dabe hamomusa: , Yuda hina bagade Yihoiagimi da Yuda fi dunuma, liligi ilia gagui amo defele su dabe ima: ne sia: i.
Jehoiakim paid the silver and gold to Pharaoh Neco, but in order to meet Pharaoh's demand he taxed the land and required payment of the silver and the gold from the people, each in proportion to their wealth.
36 Yihoiagimi da lalelegele, ode 25 esalu, e da muni Yuda hina bagade hamoi. E da Yelusalemega esala, ode gidayale agoane Yuda fi ouligilalu. Ea ame da Sibiuda (Bida: ia ea idiwi. E da Luma moilaiga misi.)
Jehoiakim was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother's name was Zebidah, daughter of Pedaiah She came from Rumah.
37 Yihoiagimi da ea aowalali fi defele, Hina Godema wadela: le hamoi.
He did evil in the Lord's sight, just as his forefathers had done.
