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 in faithfulness they are dealing.

And Hilkiah the high priest saith unto Shaphan the scribe, 'A book of the law I have found in the house of Jehovah;' and Hilkiah giveth the book unto Shaphan, and he readeth 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 cometh in unto the king, and bringeth the king back word, and saith, 'Thy servants have poured out the silver that hath been found in the house, and give it into the hand of the doers of the work, the inspectors, in the house of Jehovah.'
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 it cometh to pass, at the king's hearing the words of the book of the law, that he rendeth his garments,

'Go, seek Jehovah for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found, for great [is] the fury of Jehovah that is kindled against us, because that our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, 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.

15 Te vaengah amih te, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai taengla nangmih aka tueih hlang taengah thui pah.
And she saith unto them, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Say to the man who hath sent you unto 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 Jehovah, Lo, I am bringing in evil unto this place and on its inhabitants, all the words of the book that the king of Judah hath 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 perfume to other gods, so as to provoke Me to anger with every work of their hands, and My wrath hath 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 unto the king of Judah, who is sending you to seek Jehovah, thus do ye say unto him, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, The words that thou hast 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 thy heart [is] tender, and thou art humbled because of Jehovah, in thy hearing that which I have spoken against this place, and against its inhabitants, to be for a desolation, and for a reviling, and dost rend thy garments, and weep before Me — I also have heard — the affirmation of Jehovah —
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, lo, I am gathering thee unto thy fathers, and thou hast been gathered unto thy grave in peace, and thine eyes do not look on any of the evil that I am bringing in on this place;' and they bring the king back word.
