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.
Eight years old, was Josiah when he began to reign, and, thirty-one years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, this mother’s name, was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah, of Bozkath.
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 eyes of Yahweh, —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 son of Azaliah son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of Yahweh, saying—
4 “Dhiyo ir Hilkia jadolo maduongʼ kendo oik pesa mosekel e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, mane jorit dhoot nosechoko kuom ji.
Go up unto Hilkiah, the high priest, that he pour out the silver that hath been brought into the house of Yahweh, —which the keepers of the entrance-hall have gathered from 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.
that they may give it into the hand of the doers of the work, who have oversight of the house of Yahweh, that they may give it to the doers of the work, who are in the house of Yahweh, 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.
to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, —and to buy timber, and hewn stones, for repairing the house.
7 To kik penjgi kaka gitiyo gi pesa momigi nikech gin joma ogen.”
Howbeit there used to be no reckoning made with them, as to the silver that was given into their hand, —because, with faithfulness, were they dealing.
8 Hilkia jadolo maduongʼ nowachone Shafan ma jagoro niya, “Aseyudo kitap chike e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.” Nomiye mosome.
Then said Hilkiah the high priest, unto Shaphan the scribe—The book of the law, have I found, in the house of Yahweh. So Hilkiah delivered the book unto 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.”
Then came Shaphan the scribe unto the king, and brought the king word again, —and said—Thy servants have poured out the silver that was found in the house, and have delivered it unto the hand of the doers of the work, who have oversight of the house of Yahweh.
10 Eka Shafan jagoro nonyiso ruoth niya, “Hilkia janabi osemiya kitabu.” Kendo Shafan nosomo kitabuno e nyim ruoth.
Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying—A book, hath Hilkiah the priest delivered unto me. 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 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 son of Shaphan, and Achbor son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, 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 Yahweh, for me and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book which hath been found, —for, great, is the wrath of Yahweh, in that it hath fired up against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according to all 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 Asaiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, son of Harhas keeper of the vestments, she having her dwelling in Jerusalem, in the new city, —and they spake unto 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 Yahweh, God of Israel, Say ye unto the man who hath sent you unto 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 Yahweh, Behold me! about to bring calamity upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, —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 burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger, with all the workmanship of their hands; and so my wrath shall fire up 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, unto the king of Judah, who hath sent you to enquire of Yahweh, thus, shall ye say unto him, —Thus, saith Yahweh, 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, tender, was thy heart, and thou didst humble thyself before Yahweh when thou heardest what I had spoken against this place and against the inhabitants thereof—that they should become a desolation and a curse, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me, therefore also, I, have hearkened—declareth Yahweh.
20 Kuom mano, anami iywe gi kwereni kendo noiki gi kwe. Ok inine masiche mabiro kelone pinyni.’” Omiyo negidwoko wach ne ruoth.
For this cause, behold me! about to gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered unto thy graves, in peace, and so thine eyes shall not look upon all the misfortune which I am about to bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
