“Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, and he completes the silver that is brought into the house of YHWH, that the keepers of the threshold have gathered from the people,

5 Te phoeiah BOEIPA im kah im bitat aka saii aka hung kut ah pae rhoe pae saeh. Te te BOEIPA im ah bi aka saii taeng neh im puut aka biing roek taengah,

and they give it into the hand of those doing the work, the overseers, in the house of YHWH, and they give it to those doing the work, that [are] in the house of YHWH, to strengthen the breach of the house,

6 kutthai rhoek ham neh im aka sa rhoek ham khaw, aka biing ham neh thing lai ham khaw, im biing vaengkah lungrhaih lung ham khaw pae saeh,” a ti nah.

7 Tedae amih khaw uepomnah neh a saii uh dongah amih kut dongah a paek tangka te amih taengah koep toem voel pawh.

only, the silver that is given into their hand is not reckoned with them, for they are dealing in faithfulness.”

And Hilkiah the high priest says to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found [the] Scroll of the Law in the house of YHWH”; and Hilkiah gives the scroll to Shaphan, and he reads it.

9 Te phoeiah cadaek Shaphan te manghai taengla pawk tih manghai te ol a mael. Te vaengah, “Im khuikah a hmuh tangka te na sal rhoek loh a khok uh coeng. Te te BOEIPA im kah bi saii rhoek aka hung kut ah a paek uh coeng,” a ti nah.

And Shaphan the scribe comes to the king, and brings the king back word, and says, “Your servants have poured out the silver that has been found in the house, and give it into the hand of those doing the work, the inspectors, in the house of YHWH.”

10 Cadaek Shaphan te manghai taengla puen tih, “Khosoih Hilkiah loh kai taengah cabu m'paek,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah te te Shaphan loh manghai mikhmuh ah a tae.

And Shaphan the scribe declares to the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has given a scroll to me”; and Shaphan reads it before the king.

And it comes to pass, at the king’s hearing the words of the Scroll of the Law, that he tears his garments,

12 Te dongah manghai loh khosoih Hilkiah, Shaphan capa Ahikam, Mikaiah capa Akbor, cadaek Shaphan neh manghai kah sal Asaiah te a uen tih,

and the king commands Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Achbor son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah servant of the king, saying,

13 “Cet uh, kai ham neh pilnam ham khaw, Judah pum ham khaw BOEIPA te toem uh laeh. Cabu dongkah ol a hmuh dongah he BOEIPA kah kosi tah mamih taengah muep rhong coeng. He cabu olka he a pa rhoek lohngai uh pawh. Mamih ham a daek tah a cungkuem ah ngai ham om,” a ti nah.

“Go, seek YHWH for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this scroll that is found, for great [is] the fury of YHWH that is kindled against us, because that our fathers have not listened to the words of this scroll, to do according to all that is written for us.”

14 Te dongah khosoih Hilkiah, Ahikam, Akbor, Shaphan neh Asaiah tah himbai aka khoem Harhas koca Tikvah capa Shallum yuu, tonghmanu Huldah taengla cet uh. Te vaengah anih te Jerusalem kah hnukthoi khopuei ah kho a sak tih amah te a voek uh.

And Hilkiah the priest goes, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, to Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum, son of Tikvah, son of Harhas, keeper of the garments, and she is dwelling in Jerusalem in the second [quarter], and they speak to her.

15 Te vaengah amih te, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai taengla nangmih aka tueih hlang taengah thui pah.

And she says to them, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Say to the man who has sent you to me,

16 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai loh he hmuen so neh a khuikah khosa rhoek soah khaw boethae ka khuen coeng. Cabu dongkah ol cungkuem te Judah manghai loh a tae coeng te.

Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am bringing in calamity to this place and on its inhabitants, all the words of the scroll that the king of Judah has read,

17 Kai n'toeng uh tih a kut dongkah bitat cungkuem neh kai veet hamla a tloe pathen taengah phum uh. Te dongah ka kosi loh he hmuen he a hlup tih daeh voel mahpawh.

because that they have forsaken Me, and make incense to other gods, so as to provoke Me to anger with every work of their hands, and My wrath has been kindled against this place, and it is not quenched.

18 BOEIPA toem hamla nangmih aka tueih Judah manghai te a taengah Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh a thui ol he na yaak bangla thui pah.

And to the king of Judah, who is sending you to seek YHWH, thus you say to him, Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: The words that you have heard—

19 He hmuen so neh a khuikah khosa soah imsuep neh rhunkhuennah la om sak ham ka cal te na yaak vaengah na thinko phoena tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah na kunyun coeng. Te vaengah na himbai te na phen tih ka mikhmuh ah na rhah khaw ka yaak bal coeng. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.

because your heart [is] tender, and you are humbled because of YHWH, in your hearing that which I have spoken against this place, and against its inhabitants, to be for a desolation, and for a reviling, and you tear your garments and weep before Me—I also have heard—a declaration of YHWH—

20 Te dongah kai loh nang te na pa rhoek taengla kan humcui sak bini ne. Na phuel ah ngaimong la na khoem uhvetih he hmuen soah ka khuen boethae cungkuem te na mik loh hmu mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah manghai te ol a mael uh.

therefore, behold, I am gathering you to your fathers, and you have been gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes do not look on any of the calamity that I am bringing in on this place”; and they bring the king back word.
