2 Lengte 22

1 Josiah hi leng ahungchan kum chun ama kum get bou anahi, chuleh aman Jerusalem’ah kum somthum le khat sung lengvai anahom’in ahi. Anuchu Jedidah ahin Bozkath kho a kona Adaiah chanu ahi.

Josiah [was] eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath.

2 Amahin Pathen mitmu’n thilpha jing anabollin, apu David khonung chu anajuijin ahi. Amahin thildih bolna dinga hin ana nungchon pon ahi.

And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.

3 Ama vaihom kum somle get alhinin, Josiah lengpan Meshullam tupa Azaliah chapa Shaphan chu thutanna munna lekhasunpa chu Pakai houin’ah ana sollin, hitihin thu anapen ahi,

And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, [that] the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying,

4 “Nangma thempulen Hilkiah koma gache inlang, kot ngah pan Pakai houin'a mipi akona adondoh’u sum hochu simtoh henlang,

Go to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered from the people:

5 Houin semphatna dinga vaihom ho khutna pelut hen, chutileh amahon Pakai houin sahphatna a natong ho chu athaman u peh nan mangcha theiyun te,” ati.

And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD: and let them give it to the doers of the work, which [is] in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house,

6 Amahon thingthembol ho, insa ho chule songkhengthem ho goina’a amanchah theidiu ahi. Chujongleh Houin semphatna man dingin thing chuleh song kikhengsa ho chule adang houin semphatna dinga ngaichat umho chu chohnan mang’u hen,” ati.

To carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber, and hewn stone to repair the house.

7 “Ahinla insahna dinga vaihom hochun akhut uva sum hunglut hochu ajat simtoh suhtoh le kholtoh angaipoi, ajeh chu amaho lungtheng cheh leh tahsan theidolcheh ahinauve,” ati.

But there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.

8 Hilkiah thempu lenpa chun thutanna lekhasunpa kom’a chun, “Keiman Pakai houin sunga chun Dan buchu kamu dohtai,” ati. Hichun Hilkiah chun hiche lekhajol chu Shaphan kom’a apen aman jong asim’in ahi.

And Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.

9 Shaphan chu lengpa kom’a achen thilsoh ho chu alhut un, “Nanoija mopohna neiho chun Pakai houin na sum hunglut hochu houin’a natong hole toh lamkai ho khutna apelut tauve,” atiuvin.

And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD.

10 Shaphan chun lengpa chu aseipeh kit’in, “Hilkiah thempu pachun lekhajol khat eipe in ahi,” ati, hichun Shaphan in jong lengpa chu asim pehtan ahi.

And Shaphan the scribe showed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

11 Lengpa chun hiche Dan lekhabua kijih chu ajah phat chun, lungkham tah’in apon abot eh jengin ahi.

And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.

12 Hiche jouchun aman, Hilkiah thempupa, Shaphan chapa Ahikam, Micaiah chapa Acbor, Shaphan thutanna'a lekhasunpa chuleh Asaiah lengpa thumop a pang, amaho koma chun hiche thupeh apetan ahi.

And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying,

13 “Nangho cheuvin lang keima leh Judah mipi ho jouse thalhengin Pakai kom’ah tao unlang, akimudoh lekahjol akijih thucheng ho chung chang hi gakhol toh tauvin. Ajeh chu ipu ipateu vin hiche lekhajol kijih thucheng ho dungjuijahi ana chonloujeh uvin, achung'uva Pakai lunghan na hi adeojah jing in ahi. Eihon itohtei diuva kisei i-toh diu thilho chu khatcha jong ihin tong pouvin ahi,” ati.

Go ye, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great [is] the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written concerning us.

14 Hijeh chun Hilkiah thempupa, Ahikam, Achor, Shapahn leh Asaiah chu Jerusalem a chenna ding munthah lang achun Huldah themgaonu ga dongtoh dingin acheuvin ahi. Amanu hi Harhas chapa Tikvah chapa Shallum jinu, houin a vonchol vesuija pang ahi.

So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college; ) and they communed with her.

15 Amanu chun amaho kom’ah chun, “Israel Pakai Pathen chun hitin aseije, kileuvin lang nahin solpa kom’a chun hitin aseijun,” ati.

And she said to them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,

16 “Hiche hi Pakai thusei ahi, Keiman hiche khopile amite chunga hi thohgimna kahin chuhsah ding ahi. Judah lengpan asimdoh hiche lekhajolla kijih ho chengsehi hung guilhung teiding ahi.

Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon its inhabitants, [even] all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:

17 Ajeh chu kamiten eipaidoh tauvin, Pathen neilou namdangte semthu pathen ho kom’ah kilhaina gantha akatdoh tauvin, athilbol hojouse jeh in keima eilunghan sahlheh tauvin ahi. Hiche mun douna kalunghan hi deojah jeng ding ahin hiche chu chen-mitjou hilou ding ahi,” ati.

Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place and shall not be quenched.

18 “Ahinlah Pakai holding’a nahin sol uvah Judah lengpa kom’achun cheuvinlang hitin seipehun, Hichehi Israel Pathen Pakaiyin nathujah thupeh chungchanga chun hitin aseije,

But to the king of Judah who sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, [concerning] the words which thou hast heard;

19 Nangma nalungkham’in, nang le nang nakisunem lhehjingin, nangin hiche khopi le amite douna kasei hiche gamhi sapsetna aching ding chule ahomkeo hung hiding ahi, kitichu najah phat’in lungkham tah in napon nabottel jengin chuleh kisih tah in nakap jah jengin ahi. Hijehchun keiman tahbeh in nataona chu kajatai tin Pakaiyin aseije,” ati.

Because thy heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spoke against this place, and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard [thee], saith the LORD.

20 “Hijeh chun keiman kateppeh hamsetna chu nangma nathi’a lungmong’a nakivui kahsen hinchuhsah taponge. Keiman hiche khopi chunga kachuhsah ding suhgimna chu nangin namutah louding ahi,” ati. Hiti chun amanu kona thupeh chu lengpa kom’ah ale pohlut peh tauvin ahi.

Behold therefore, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thy eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
