2 Setouknae 34
1 Josiah teh siangpahrang a tawk navah, kum 8 touh a pha teh, Jerusalem vah kum 31 touh a bawi.
Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem.
2 Hote siangpahrang teh BAWIPA hmaitung hawinae hah a sak teh, avoilah aranglah phen laipalah a na min Devit e lamthung a dawn.
And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walked in the ways of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, a bawi nah kum 8 touh a pha teh, camo lah ao raei, a na min Devit e Cathut hah tawngnae a kamtawng. Hahoi, a bawinae kum 12 touh a pha navah, Judah ram hoi Jerusalem e hmuenrasangnaw hoi thingmeikaphawk hoi sakhlawn e meikaphawknaw hoi thukhlawn e meikaphawknaw hah koung a takhoe.
For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images.
4 Baal thuengnae khoungroenaw hah a mithmu vah a raphoe teh, khoungroe van pâhung e meikaphawknaw hah a tâtueng teh, thingmeikaphawknaw hah vitkatip lah a phawm teh, hot koe thuengnae ouk kasaknaw e phuen dawk a rabawk.
And they brake down the altars of the Baalim in his presence; and the sun-images that were on high above them he hewed down; and the Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strewed it upon the graves [of them] that had sacrificed unto them.
5 Vaihmahu hru hah ahnimae thuengnae khoungroe van hmai a sawi teh, Judah ram hoi Jerusalem hah a thoung sak.
And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
6 Hot patetvanlah, Manasseh, Ephraim, Simeon, Naphtali kho totouh a sak.
And [so did he] in the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, in their ruins round about.
7 Thuengnae khoungroenaw hah a raphoe teh, thingmeikaphawknaw hoi sakhlawn e meikaphawknaw hah koung a phawm. Isarel ram e meikaphawk pueng koung a tâtueng teh Jerusalem lah a ban.
And he brake down the altars, and beat the Asherim and the graven images into powder, and hewed down all the sun-images throughout all the land of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem.
8 Hahoi a bawinae kum 18 navah, a ram hoi bawkim a thoung sak nah kum vah, Azaliah capa Shaphan, kho ukkung Maaseiah, Jehoahaz capa ca kathutkung Joab hah BAWIPA Cathut im pathoup hanelah a patoun awh.
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of Jehovah his God.
9 Vaihma kacue Hilkiah koe a pha awh toteh, longkha karingkung Levih taminaw ni, Manasseh, Ephraim kaawm rae Isarelnaw pueng, Judah, Benjaminnaw pueng hoi, Jerusalem vah a bankhai awh e tangka a pâtung awh e heh Cathut im vah a thokhai awh teh, ahnimouh koe a poe awh.
And they came to Hilkiah the high priest, and delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 Hottelah BAWIPA im dawk thaw katawkkungnaw kut dawk palang a poe awh teh, BAWIPA im dawk thawtawkkungnaw hoi im kapathoupkung, hoi im kasakkungnaw hah a poe awh.
And they delivered it into the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of Jehovah; and the workmen that wrought in the house of Jehovah gave it to mend and repair the house:
11 Judah siangpahrangnaw ni a raphoe awh e im pathoup nahanelah, talung dêi e hoi pangkheknaw, patung, paloung, thing ran nahane hoi, kutsakkathoumnaw hoi im kasakkungnaw hah a poe awh.
even to the carpenters and to the builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to make beams for the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
12 Taminaw ni thaw hah yuemkamcu lah a tawk awh. Khenyawnkungnaw teh Merari capanaw thung dawk e Levih tami Jahath hoi Obadiah hoi, Kohath capanaw thung dawk e Zekhariah hoi Meshullam hoi, Levih tami alouke tumkhawng katumthainaw hah doeh.
And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and [others of] the Levites, all that were skilful with instruments of music.
13 Hnokari kaphawtnaw khenyawnkung lahai ao teh, thaw katawkkungnaw ni tawk hane thaw kareikung lahai ao awh. Levihnaw tangawn teh cakathutkungnaw hoi longkha karingkung lah ao awh.
Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and set forward all that did the work in every manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.
14 BAWIPA im dawk a thokhai awh e tangka hah a rabawk awh toteh, vaihma Hilkiah ni Mosi hno lahoi poe e BAWIPA kâlawk cauk hah a hmu.
And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of Jehovah [given] by Moses.
15 Hilkiah ni cakathutkung Shaphan koevah, BAWIPA im dawk kâlawk cauk ka hmu awh telah ati. Hahoi, Hilkiah ni cauk hah Shaphan a poe.
And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of Jehovah. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.
16 Shaphan ni cauk hah siangpahrang koe a ceikhai teh, na sannaw ni sak hanelah pouk e pueng hah a sak awh.
And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought back word to the king, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they are doing.
17 BAWIPA im dawk kaawm e tangka a rabawk awh toteh, kahrawikung hoi khenyawnkungnaw hah a poe awh telah lawk a thai sak.
And they have emptied out the money that was found in the house of Jehovah, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of the workmen.
18 Hahoi cakathutkung Shaphan ni, vaihma Hilkiah ni cauk na poe telah siangpahrang koe a dei pou teh, Shaphan ni siangpahrang hmalah a touk.
And Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read therein before the king.
19 Hahoi hettelah doeh. Siangpahrang ni kâlawk dawk e lawk a thai toteh, a hni hah a ravei.
And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.
20 Siangpahrang ni Hilkiah, Shaphan capa Ahikam, Mikah capa Abdon, ca kathutkung Shaphan hoi siangpahrang e san Asaiah tinaw hah kâ a poe teh,
And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying,
21 cet awh nateh cauk na hmunae kong dawk kai hoi Isarel hoi Judah vah kaawm rae baw hanelah BAWIPA koe kâhet awh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA puenghoi lungkhueknae teh maimouh lathueng awi lah ao toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete cauk dawk, tarawi hanelah thut e pueng heh mintoenaw ni BAWIPA e lawk tarawi awh hoeh toe telah ati.
Go ye, inquire of Jehovah for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the wrath of Jehovah that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of Jehovah, to do according unto all that is written in this book.
22 Hottelah siangpahrang ni kâ a poe e naw hoi Hilkiah teh hnicu hrueknae khenyawnkung Hasrah capa Tokhath capa Shallum e yu profet napui Huldah koe a cei awh ( Ahni teh Jerusalem kho vah a o). Hateh hote kong hah a dei pouh awh.
So Hilkiah, and they whom the king [had commanded], went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they spake to her to that effect.
23 Ahnimouh ni Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni hettelah a dei. Kai koe na ka patoun e koe dei pouh awh nateh,
And she said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Tell ye the man that sent you unto me,
24 BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! hete hmuen hoi a thung kaawmnaw koe thoenae ka tho sak han. Judah siangpahrang hmalah a touk awh e cauk thung vah kaawm e thoebonae pueng hoi,
Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah.
25 amamae kut dawk hoi letlang ka lungkhuek sak nahanelah, hnam na thun takhai awh teh, alouke cathutnaw hanelah hmuitui a sawi awh kecu dawkvah, hete hmuen koe ka lungkhueknae hah awi lah ao vaiteh, roum sak lah awm mahoeh telah ati.
Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore is my wrath poured out upon this place, and it shall not be quenched.
26 Hateiteh, BAWIPA koe kâhei hanelah nangmouh na kapatounkung Judah siangpahrang koevah hettelah dei pouh awh. Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni hottelah a dei, hote na thai tangcoung e lawk dawk,
But unto the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Jehovah, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: As touching the words which thou hast heard,
27 hete hmuen hoi a thung kaawmnaw tarannae lawk hah na thai toteh, na lungthin a nem teh, Cathut hmalah na kârahnoum teh, ka hmalah na kârahnoumsak teh, na khohna hah na ravei teh, ka hmalah na ka dawkvah, kai ni hai na lawk hah ka thai toe telah BAWIPA ni ati.
because thy heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and hast humbled thyself before me, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith Jehovah.
28 Khenhaw! na mintoenaw koe na ceisak vaiteh, ahnimouh koe karoumcalah na cei vaiteh, het hmuen hoi a thung kaawmnaw koe ka tho sak hane thonae pueng hah teh, na mit ni hmawt mahoeh telah dei pouh awh, telah a dei pouh. Hahoi siangpahrang koe hote lawk teh ka thokhai awh.
Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof. And they brought back word to the king.
29 Hottelah siangpahrang ni tami a patoun teh Judah ram hoi Jerusalem e kacuenaw pueng hah a pâkhueng.
Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
30 Hahoi siangpahrang hoi Judahnaw pueng, Jerusalem taminaw pueng, vaihmanaw hoi, Levihnaw hoi, taminaw pueng, kathoung kalen pueng, BAWIPA im vah a cei awh. BAWIPA dawk a hmu awh e lawkkamnae lawk dawk e lawknaw pueng hah, a hnâthainae koe a touk awh.
And the king went up to the house of Jehovah, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, both great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of Jehovah.
31 Hahoi siangpahrang teh amae hmuen koe a kangdue teh, cauk dawk thut e lawkkamnaw hah a caksak teh a lungthin buemlah, muitha buemlah hoi BAWIPA tarawi hane hoi kâpoelawknaw hoi lawkpanuesaknae hoi a phunglawknaw tarawi hanelah BAWIPA koe lawkkamnae a sak.
And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.
32 Jerusalem hoi Benjaminnaw pueng teh hot patetlah o hanelah lawk a kam awh. Hahoi, Jerusalem khocanaw ni Cathut, a na mintoenaw e Cathut lawkkam boiboe lah a sak awh.
And he caused all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand [to it]. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
33 Josiah ni Isarel ram dawk a kâen sak e thung dawk panuettho e hno pueng teh, koung a tâkhawng awh. Isarel ram dawk kaawm e pueng hah Cathut thaw a tawk sak. Hahoi a na mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut hanlah a hring nah thung phen takhai awh hoeh toe.
And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were found in Israel to serve, even to serve Jehovah their God. All his days they departed not from following Jehovah, the God of their fathers.
