2 Setouknae 34
1 Josiah teh siangpahrang a tawk navah, kum 8 touh a pha teh, Jerusalem vah kum 31 touh a bawi.
Josias was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one and thirty 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 sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father: he declined not, neither to the right hand, nor 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.
And in the eighth year of his reign, when he was yet a boy, he began to seek the God of his father David: and in the twelfth year after he began to reign, he cleansed Juda and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the idols, and the graven things.
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 broke down before him the altars of Baalim, and demolished the idols that had been set upon them: and be cut down the groves and the graven things, and broke them in pieces: and strewed the fragments upon the graves of them that had sacrificed to 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 on the altars of the idols, and he cleansed Juda and Jerusalem.
6 Hot patetvanlah, Manasseh, Ephraim, Simeon, Naphtali kho totouh a sak.
And in the cities of Manasses, and of Ephraim, and of Simeon, even to Nephtali he demolished all.
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 when he had destroyed the altars, and the groves, and had broken the idols in pieces, and had demolished all profane temples throughout all the land of Israel, he 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 cleansed the land, and the temple of the Lord, he sent Saphan the son of Eselias, and Maasias the governor of the city, Joha the son of Joachaz the recorder, to repair the house of the Lord 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 Helcias the high priest: and received of him the money which had been brought into the house of the Lord, and which the Levites and porters had gathered together from Manasses, and Ephraim, and all the remnant of Israel, and from all Juda, and Benjamin, and 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.
Which they delivered into the hands of them that were over the workmen in the house of the Lord, to repair the temple, and mend all that was weak.
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.
But they gave it to the artificers, and to the masons, to buy stones out of the quarries, and timber for the couplings of the building, and to rafter the houses, which the kings of Juda 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 they did all faithfully. Now the overseers of the workmen were Jahath and Abdias of the sons of Merari, Zacharias and Mosollam of the sons of Caath, who hastened the work: all Levites skillful to play on instruments.
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.
But over them that carried burdens for divers uses, were scribes, and masters of the number of the Levites, 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.
Now when they carried out the money that had been brought into the temple of the Lord, Helcias the priest found the book of the law of the Lord, by the hand of 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 he said to Saphan the scribe: I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord: and he delivered it to him.
16 Shaphan ni cauk hah siangpahrang koe a ceikhai teh, na sannaw ni sak hanelah pouk e pueng hah a sak awh.
But he carried the book to the king, and told him, saying: Lo, all that thou hast committed to thy servants, is accomplished.
17 BAWIPA im dawk kaawm e tangka a rabawk awh toteh, kahrawikung hoi khenyawnkungnaw hah a poe awh telah lawk a thai sak.
They have gathered together the silver that was found in the house of the Lord: and it is given to the overseers of the artificers, and of the workmen, for divers works.
18 Hahoi cakathutkung Shaphan ni, vaihma Hilkiah ni cauk na poe telah siangpahrang koe a dei pou teh, Shaphan ni siangpahrang hmalah a touk.
Moreover Helcias the priest gave me this book. And he read it before the king.
19 Hahoi hettelah doeh. Siangpahrang ni kâlawk dawk e lawk a thai toteh, a hni hah a ravei.
And when he had heard the words of the law, he rent his garments:
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 he commanded Helcias, and Ahicam the son of Saphan, and Abdon the son of Micha, and Saphan the scribe, and Asaa 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, and pray to the Lord for me, and for the remnant of Israel, and Juda, concerning all the words of this book, which is found: for the great wrath of the Lord hath fallen upon us, because our fathers have not kept the words of the Lord, to do all things that are 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.
And Helcias and they that were sent with him by the king, went to Olda the prophetess, the wife of Sellum the son of Thecuath, the son of Hasra keeper of the wardrobe: who dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second part: and they spoke to her the words above mentioned.
23 Ahnimouh ni Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni hettelah a dei. Kai koe na ka patoun e koe dei pouh awh nateh,
And she answered them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Tell the man that sent you to 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 the Lord: Behold I will bring evils upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, and all the curses that are written in this book which they read before the king of Juda.
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 sacrificed to strange gods, to provoke me to wrath with all the works of their hands, therefore my wrath shall fall upon this place, and 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 as to the king of Juda that sent you to beseech the Lord, thus shall you say to him: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Because thou hast heard the words of this book,
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.
And thy heart was softened. and thou hast humbled thyself in the sight of God for the things that are spoken against this place, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and reverencing my face, hast rent thy garments, and wept before me: I also have heard thee, saith the Lord.
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.
For now I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be brought to thy tomb in peace: and thy eyes shall not see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and the inhabitants thereof. They therefore reported to the king all that she had said.
29 Hottelah siangpahrang ni tami a patoun teh Judah ram hoi Jerusalem e kacuenaw pueng hah a pâkhueng.
And he called together all the ancients of Juda 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 went up to the house of the Lord, and all the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests and the Levites, and all the people from the least to the greatest. And the king read in their hearing, in the house of the Lord, all the words of the book.
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 standing up in his tribunal, he made a covenant before the Lord to walk after him, and keep his commandments, and testimonies, and justifications with all his heart, and with all his soul, and to do the things that were written in that book which he had read.
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 adjured all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to do the same: and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of the Lord 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 Josias took away all the abominations out of all the countries of the children of Israel: and made all that were left in Israel, to serve the Lord their God. As long as he lived they departed not from the Lord the God of their fathers.
