2 Dungkrhoekhaih 34
1 Josiah siangpahrang ah oh naah saning tazetto ni oh vop; anih mah Jesuralem to saning quithum, hnetto thung uk.
Josiah was eight years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for thirty-one years.
2 Anih loe Angraeng mikhnukah katoeng hmuen to sak moe, ampa David ih loklam to pazui, anih loe banqoi bang maw bantang bangah maw amtimh ai.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, walking in the ways of his father David, without turning to the right hand or to the left.
3 Siangpahrang ah saning tazetto oh pacoengah doeh, anih loe nawkta ah ni oh vop, toe anih loe ampa David ih Sithaw to pakrong; saning hatlai hnetto phak naah, Judah prae hoi Jerusalem ih hmuensangnawk, Asherah thingnawk, thing nuiah thuk ih krangnawk hoi ban hoiah sak ih krangnawk to a phraek boih.
In the eighth year of his rule, while he was still young, his heart was first turned to the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he undertook the clearing away of all the high places and the pillars and the images of wood and metal from Judah and Jerusalem.
4 Anih hmaa ah kaom Baal bokhaih hmaicamnawk to a boh phaeng; to hmaicam nuiah kaom krangnawk doeh boh phaeng moe, Asherah thingnawk, thing nuiah thuk ih krangnawk hoi kalah krangnawk to vah pae king; kadip pueng ah boh pae phaeng moe, angbawnhaih sah kaminawk ih taprong nuiah a haeh pae.
He had the altars of the Baals broken down, while he himself was present; and the sun-images which were placed on high over them he had cut down; and the pillars of wood and the metal images he had broken up and crushed to dust, dropping the dust over the resting-places of the dead who had made offerings to them.
5 Krang bok qaimanawk ih ahuhnawk to angmacae ih hmaicam nuiah hmai hoiah a thlaek; to tiah Judah hoi Jerusalem to a ciimsak.
And he had the bones of the priests burned on their altars, and so he made Judah and Jerusalem clean.
6 Anih mah Manasseh, Ephraim, Simeon hoi Naphtali karoek to, vangpui taeng ih ahmuennawk boih to taoi hoiah takaeh o.
And in all the towns of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon as far as Naphtali, he made waste their houses round about.
7 Hmaicamnawk hoi Asherah thingnawk to a phraek moe, krangnawk to kadip pueng ah a boh, Israel prae thung boih ah hmuihoih thlaekhaih, sakcop ih krangnawk to takroek pae pet pet pacoengah, Jerusalem ah amlaem.
He had the altars and the pillars of wood pulled down and the images crushed to dust, and all the sun-images cut down, through all the land of Israel, and then he went back to Jerusalem.
8 Josiah siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning hatlai tazetto naah, a prae hoi im to ciimsak pacoengah, angmah Angraeng Sithaw ih im to pakhraih hanah, Azaliah capa Shaphan hoi vangpui ukkung Maaseiah, hmuenmaenawk ih ahmin tarikkung Joahaz capa Joah to patoeh.
Now in the eighteenth year of his rule, when the land and the house had been made clean, he sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah, the ruler of the town, and Joah, the son of Joahaz, the recorder, to make good what was damaged in the house of the Lord his God.
9 Nihcae loe qaima Hilkiah khaeah caeh o moe, kaminawk mah Sithaw im ah sinh o ih phoisa, khongkha toepkung Levi acaengnawk mah, Manasseh, Ephraim hoi kanghmat Israel kaminawk boih, Judah kaminawk, Benjamin kaminawk hoi Jerusalem kaminawk khaeah kok ih phoisa to paek o.
And they came to Hilkiah, the chief priest, and gave him all the money which had been taken into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the door, had got from Manasseh and Ephraim and those of Israel who had not been taken away as prisoners, and from all Judah and Benjamin and the people of Jerusalem.
10 Angraeng imthung ih toksah kaminawk khaeah a paek o moe, nihcae mah Angraeng ih im pakhraih kami hoi im pathoep kaminawk hanah paek o.
And they gave it to the overseers of the work of the Lord's house, and the overseers gave it to the workmen working in the house, for building it up and making good what was damaged;
11 Judah siangpahrangnawk mah paro ih im sak haih, im pathoep haih han kangaih thingnawk, thlungnawk to qan hanah, imsahkung hoi thing aatkungnawk khaeah a paek o.
Even to the woodworkers and builders to get cut stone and wood for joining the structure together and for making boards for the houses which the kings of Judah had given up to destruction.
12 Kaminawk loe oep om ah toksak o; nihcae ukkung ah Merari acaeng, Levi kami Jahath hoi Obadiah; Kohath acaeng Zekariah hoi Meshullam cae to oh o; tamoi uengh kop kalah Levi acaengnawk mah doeh toksah kaminawk to khetzawn o.
And the men did the work well; and those who had authority over them were Jahath and Obadiah, Levites of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, who were to be responsible for seeing that the work was done; and others of the Levites, who were expert with instruments of music,
13 Nihcae loe imthung ah toksah kaminawk hoi congca toksah kaminawk boih a khetzawn o; thoemto Levi acaengnawk loe athung ah toksah angraeng, ca tarikkung hoi khongkha toepkung ah oh o.
Had authority over the transport workers, giving directions to all who were doing any sort of work; and among the Levites there were scribes and overseers and door-keepers.
14 Angraeng im thungah sinh o ih phoisa to lak o naah, Mosi khaeah paek ih Angraeng ih kaalok cabu to qaima Hilkiah mah hnuk.
Now when they were taking out the money which had come into the Lord's house, Hilkiah the priest came across the book of the law of the Lord, which he had given by the mouth of Moses.
15 Hilkiah mah ca tarikkung Shaphan khaeah, Angraeng ih im thungah kaalok cabu ka hnuk boeh, tiah a naa. Hilkiah mah Shaphan khaeah paek.
Then Hilkiah said to Shaphan the scribe, I have made discovery of the book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan.
16 Shaphan mah cabu to siangpahrang khaeah sinh moe, anih khaeah, Sak han na paek ih hmuennawk to na tamnanawk mah sak o boih boeh.
And Shaphan took the book to the king; and he gave him an account of what had been done, saying, Your servants are doing all they have been given to do;
17 Angraeng im ah a hnuk o ih phoisa to nawnto a suek o moe, ukkungnawk hoi toksahkungnawk khaeah pakuem o sak boeh, tiah a naa.
They have taken out all the money which was in the Lord's house and have given it to the overseers and to the workmen.
18 To pacoengah ca tarikkung Shaphan mah siangpahrang khaeah, Qaima Hilkiah mah cabu maeto ang paek, tiah a naa. Siangpahrang hmaa ah to cabu to kroek pae.
Then Shaphan the scribe said to the king, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book; and he made a start at reading some of it to the king.
19 Siangpahrang mah kaalok cabu thung ih lok to thaih naah, angmah ih kahni to asih.
And the king, hearing the words of the law, took his robe in his hands, violently parting it as a sign of his grief.
20 Siangpahrang mah, Hilkiah, Shaphan capa Ahikam, Mikah capa Abdon, ca tarikkung Shaphan hoi siangpahrang ih tamna Asiah khaeah,
And he gave orders to Hilkiah and to Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Abdon, the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe and Asaiah, the king's servant, saying,
21 aicae ampanawk loe Angraeng ih lok tahngai o ai, hae cabu thungah tarik ih Angraeng ih lok to pazui o ai pongah, Angraeng Sithaw loe aicae nuiah paroeai palungphui tih boeh, to pongah caeh oh loe, a hnuk o ih Sithaw lok cabu kawng pongah, timaw ka sak o han, tiah kai hanah maw, Israel hoi Judah prae ih anghmat kaminawk hanah maw, Angraeng khaeah lokdueng oh, tiah a naa.
Go and get directions from the Lord for me and for those who are still in Israel and for Judah, about the words of this book which has come to light; for great is the wrath of the Lord which has been let loose on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord or done what is recorded in this book.
22 Siangpahrang mah patoeh ih kaminawk loe Hasrah capa Tikvath, Tikvath capa Shallum ih zu tahmaa nongpata Huldah hoiah lok aram hanah, Hilkiah hoi nawnto caeh o; prophet nongpata ih sava loe Shallum, anih loe siangpahrang ih khukbuen khenzawnkung ahg oh (anih loe Jerusalem vangpui aluek bangah oh: ) nihcae loe to prophet nongpata hoiah lok aram o.
So Hilkiah, and those whom the king sent, went to Huldah the woman prophet, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the robes (now she was living in Jerusalem, in the second part of the town); and they had talk with her about this thing.
23 Tahmaa nongpata mah nihcae khaeah, Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah, Nang khaeah ang patoeh o ih kaminawk khaeah, hae tiah lokthui pae ah, tiah ang naa.
And she said to them, The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, Say to the man who sent you to me,
24 Angraeng mah, Khenah, hae ahmuen hoi hae hmuen ah kaom kaminawk khaeah kasae raihaih ka phaksak han; Judah siangpahrang hmaa ah kroek pae o ih cabu thungah kaom tangoenghaih doeh ka phaksak han;
These are the words of the Lord: See, I will send evil on this place and on its people, even all the curses in the book which they have been reading before the king of Judah;
25 nihcae loe kai ang pahnawt o moe, kalah sithawnawk khaeah hmuihoih to thlaek o; angmacae ban hoiah sak o ih hmuennawk hoiah nihcae mah kai palung ang phui o sak boeh; to pongah kadueh thai ai, palung ka phuihaih hae ahmuen ah ka kraih han, tiah a thuih.
Because they have given me up, burning offerings to other gods and moving me to wrath by all the works of their hands; so my wrath is let loose on this place and will not be put out.
26 Angraeng khae hnik hanah nangcae patoehkung, Judah siangpahrang mah thaih ih cabu thung ih lok baktih toengah, siangpahrang khaeah Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih, tiah thui pae oh;
But to the king of Judah who sent you to get directions from the Lord, say, This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said: Because you have given ear to my words,
27 hae ahmuen hoi hae ahmuen ah khosah kaminawk hanah acoe paekhaih lok na thaih naah, poeknaemhaih palungthin to na tawnh moe, Sithaw hmaa ah poek pahnaemhaih hoiah na khukbuen na sih pacoengah, ka hmaa ah na qah pongah, na lok to kang tahngaih pae, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
And your heart was soft, and you made yourself low before God, on hearing his words about this place and its people, and with weeping and signs of grief have made yourself low before me, I have given ear to you, says the Lord God.
28 Khenah, vaihi nam panawk khaeah kang haksak han boeh, nang loe kamong ah taprong thungah na caeh tih; hae ahmuen hoi hae ah khosah kaminawk nuiah ka phaksak han ih kasae hmuennawk boih to na mik hoiah na hnu mak ai, tiah a naa. Nihcae mah to lok to siangpahrang khaeah sin pae o let.
See, I will let you go to your fathers, and be put in your last resting-place in peace, and your eyes will not see all the evil which I will send on this place and on its people. So they took this news back to the king.
29 To pacoengah siangpahrang mah Judah hoi Jerusalem ih kacoehtanawk boih to kawk moe,
Then the king sent and got together all the responsible men of Judah and of Jerusalem.
30 siangpahrang loe Judah prae ih kaminawk, Jerusalem ih kaminawk, qaimanawk, Levinawk, kathoeng kalen kaminawk boih hoi nawnto, im thungah caeh o tahang, Angraeng im ah hnuk o ih lokkamhaih cabu thung ih loknawk boih to nihcae mah thaih o hanah Josiah mah kroek pae.
And the king went up to the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, and the priests and the Levites and all the people, small and great; and they were present at his reading of the book of the law which had come to light in the house of the Lord.
31 Siangpahrang mah Angraeng to pakrong moe, a paek ih loknawk to pazui moe, a thuih ih loknawk hoi patukhaihnawk to poekhaih palungthin boih hoi pazui pacoengah, hae cabu thungah tarik ih lokkamhaih loknawk to pazui boih han, tiah angmah ih ahmuen ah angdoet hoiah Angraeng hmaa ah lokkamhaih to a sak.
Then the king, taking his place by the pillar, made an agreement before the Lord, to go in the way of the Lord, and to keep his orders and his decisions and his rules with all his heart and with all his soul, and to keep the words of the agreement recorded in this book.
32 Jerusalem vangpui hoi Benjamin prae ah kaom kaminawk boih mah, to lokkamhaih to pazui hanah thuih o. Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk loe ampanawk ih Sithaw lokkamhaih baktih toengah sak o.
And he made all the people in Jerusalem and Benjamin give their word to keep it. And the people of Jerusalem kept the agreement of God, the God of their fathers.
33 Panuet thok krangnawk to Josiah mah Israel prae thung boih hoiah takhoe king; Israel prae thung ih kaminawk boih angmacae Angraeng Sithaw ih tok to a saksak. Nihcae loe hing thung angmacae ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw ih loklam to amkhraeng o taak ai.
Josiah took away all the disgusting things out of all the lands of the children of Israel, and made all who were in Israel servants of the Lord their God. And as long as he was living they were true to the Lord, the God of their fathers.
