2 Ruodhi 22
1 Josia ne ja-higni aboro kane obedo ruoth kendo norito pinyno kodak Jerusalem kuom higni piero adek gachiel. Min mare ne nyinge Jedida nyar Adaya, mane aa Bozkath.
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 Timbe Josia ne longʼo e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye kendo nowuotho e yore duto mag Daudi kwar-gi, ma ok olokore kongʼiyo korachwich kata koracham.
And he did that which was right in the sight of Yhwh, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.
3 E higa mar apar gaboro mar lochne, ruoth Josia nooro jagoro ma en Shafan wuod Azalia, ma wuod Meshulam, e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kowacho niya,
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 Yhwh, saying,
4 “Dhiyo ir Hilkia jadolo maduongʼ kendo oik pesa mosekel e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, mane jorit dhoot nosechoko kuom ji.
Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of Yhwh, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people:
5 We mondo giketgi e lwet joma otelo ne gedo mar hekalu, kendo mondo jogi ochul joma loso kuonde momukore mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the house of Yhwh: and let them give it to the doers of the work which is in the house of Yhwh, to repair the breaches of the house,
6 Joma onego chul gin jopa bepe, jogedo kod jopa kidi. Bende konegi gingʼiew bao kod kite mopa milosogo kuonde mokethore ei hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.
7 To kik penjgi kaka gitiyo gi pesa momigi nikech gin joma ogen.”
Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.
8 Hilkia jadolo maduongʼ nowachone Shafan ma jagoro niya, “Aseyudo kitap chike e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.” Nomiye mosome.
And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of Yhwh. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
9 Eka Shafan ma jagoro nodhi ir ruoth mowachone niya, “Jodongi osechulo pesa mane nitiere e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo gisechiwogi e lwet jotich kod jotend hekalu.”
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 Yhwh.
10 Eka Shafan jagoro nonyiso ruoth niya, “Hilkia janabi osemiya kitabu.” Kendo Shafan nosomo kitabuno e nyim ruoth.
And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
11 Kane ruoth owinjo weche manie Kitap Chik, noyiecho lepe.
And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.
12 Nochiwo chikegi ne Hilkia jadolo, Ahikam wuod Shafan, Akbor wuod Mikaya, Shafan jagoro kod Asaya jarit mar ruoth kowachonegi niya,
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 “Dhiuru upenj Jehova Nyasaye gima biro timorena, kendo ni oganda kod jo-Juda duto kaluwore gi gik mondiki e kitabu mwaseyudoni. Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye maliel ka mach osechomowa nikech kwerewa ok oseluoro weche mawuok e kitabuni; kendo ok gisetimo timbe moluwore gi gik moko duto mondiki kuomwa.”
Go ye, enquire of Yhwh 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 Yhwh that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.
14 Hilkia jadolo, Ahikam, Akbor, Shafan kod Asaya nodhi wuoyo gi Hulda janabi madhako, mane chi Shalum wuod Tikva, ma wuod Harhas, jarit kar keno mar lep lemo. Nodak Jerusalem, e gwengʼ mar ariyo.
So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto 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 Hulda jadolo madhako nowachonegi niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach jo-Israel wacho: Nyisuru ngʼatno mane oorou ira niya,
And she said unto them, Thus saith Yhwh God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,
16 ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Abiro kelo masira e pinyni kendo kuom joma odakie, kaluwore gi gik moko duto ma ruodh Juda osesomo mondiki e kitabuni.
Thus saith Yhwh, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:
17 Mirimba nosik kuom pinyni kendo ok norum nikech gisejwangʼa ka giwangʼo ubani ne nyiseche manono kendo ka gimiya mirima kuom lamo nyiseche mopa gi lwedo.’
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 my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.
18 Wachneuru ruodh Juda, mane oorou mondo upenja gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach jo-Israel wacho kaluwore gi weche musewinjo.
But to the king of Judah which sent you to enquire of Yhwh, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith Yhwh God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard;
19 Nikech ne uwinjo wach kendo uboloru e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kane uwinjo weche mane owacho kuom Jerusalem kod joma odakie ni gibiro yudo kwongʼ mi gidongʼ kama ojwangʼ, kendo nikech ne uyiecho lepu kuywak e nyima, omiyo asewinjo ywaku, Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before Yhwh, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith Yhwh.
20 Kuom mano, anami iywe gi kwereni kendo noiki gi kwe. Ok inine masiche mabiro kelone pinyni.’” Omiyo negidwoko wach ne ruoth.
Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
