2 Chronicles 34

1 Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years.

Josiah Judah gamma leng ahung chan chun kum 5 bou anahi nalaijin ahi, chuleh Jerusalem ma chun kum31 vai anahom min ahi

2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and walked in the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right or to the left.

Amahi Pakai lunglam tah in anachon nin ahi. Amahin a pului leng David chonna anajuijin Pathen daan ho jouse ana jui bukim min ahi

3 In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, Josiah began to seek the God of his father David, and in the twelfth year he began to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the cast images.

Josiah chu khangdong cha in kum 8 ahi kummin leng ana changin, aman apului leng David Pathen chu ana houvin, kum 4 jouvin Asherah pathen lim kisemthu namdang te pathen houna mun jouse doi phungho jouse chu ana suse soh keijin ahi

4 Then in his presence the altars of the Baals were torn down, and he cut to pieces the incense altars that were above them. He shattered the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the cast images, crushed them to dust, and scattered them over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.

Ama thupeh dung juiyin Baal kihouna jouse leh ahalnam na maicham jouse amiten anaban suhsetnun, Asherah houna limsemthu holeh doiphung ho jouse asugoi sellin hiche ho anahou ho lhan chungah ana theovin ahi

5 Then he burned the bones of the priests on their altars. So he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.

Aman hiche semthu pathen leh doihou na thempu ho guchu adoi hounao chunga chun meiyin anahallun ahi. Hitia hi ana boljeh in Judah leh Jerusalem mipite chu houthu lamdollin ana sutheng kit nin ahi

6 Josiah did the same in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, as far as Naphtali, and in the ruins around them.

Aman hitimachun Manasseh, Ephraim leh Simion leh sahlanga Nephtali gamgei jin ana ban suh thengin ahi

7 He tore down the altars and Asherah poles, crushed the idols to powder, and cut to pieces all the incense altars throughout the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.

Aleng gam sahlang gamho geijin Asherah semthu pathen houna maicham phungho geijin adoi hounao leh gimnamtwi ahalnamnao maicham geijin avochipmin asubong sellin ahi. Hiche jouchun Jerusalem langa akile bepmin ahi

8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, in order to cleanse the land and the temple, Josiah sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah son of Joahaz, the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.

Aman hiti a hi gamdang pathen houna asuhbeija gamsung leh houin sung asuhtheng jouvin Josiah lengpan Pakai Pathen houin semphadingin mi 3 asollin ahi: amahochu Azaliah chapa Shaphan, Jerusalem Governor Maaseiah leh lamkai lenkhat Joahaz chapa Joah ahi

9 So they went to Hilkiah the high priest and gave him the money that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites at the doors had collected from the people of Manasseh and Ephraim, from all the remnant of Israel, Judah, and Benjamin, and from the people of Jerusalem.

Levi te houin ngah a panghon sum ahin dondoh houchu thempulen Hilkiah henga apelutnun ahi. (Hiche sumchu Ephraim leh Manasseh chuleh sahlam leng gam jouse Judah, Benjamin leh Jerusalem mipite ho jouse – a konna kidongdoh sum ahi

10 They put it into the hands of the supervisors of those doing the work of the house of the LORD, who in turn gave it to the workmen restoring and repairing the house of the LORD.

Hiche sumchu houin sempha dinga kinganse mi 3 ho komma chun apelutnun ahi, chuleh amahon thingthem bol chuleh insa ho chu songleh thing achoh uva Judah lengpan anamon lhahsah ho semphat nan amangun ahi

11 They also gave money to the carpenters and builders to buy dressed stone, as well as timbers for couplings and beams for the buildings that the kings of Judah had allowed to deteriorate.

12 And the men did the work faithfully. The Levites overseeing them were Jahath and Obadiah, descendants of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, descendants of Kohath. Other Levites, all skilled with musical instruments,

Hiche kintong ho chu lungtheng tah ahiove, amahon chu Levi te mi 4 Merari phunga konna Jahath le Obadiah chuleh Kohath phunga kon Zechariah leh Meshullam, amaho hi nana lamkaijun ahi (Hiche Levi ho hi tumging saithem cheh ahiove)

13 were over the laborers and supervised all who did the work, task by task. Some of the Levites were secretaries, officers, and gatekeepers.

Levi dangho chu thil thah le leh natoh jatchom chomma natongho chunga vaihom min apangun chuleh adanghon thuching leh miveng bitnin apangun ahi

14 While they were bringing out the money that had been taken into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of the LORD written by Moses.

Sumchu akoina konna akilah doh chun, Pathen nin Mose anapeh Pakai daan buchu Hilkiah in ahin mudoh in ahi

15 And Hilkiah said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the LORD!” And he gave it to Shaphan.

Aman Shaphan jeh a “Keiman houin sungah daan bu chu kamudoh tai” ati. Aman lekhabu chu Shaphan apen ahi

16 Then Shaphan brought the book to the king and reported, “Your servants are doing all that has been placed in their hands.

Shaphan chun lekhabu chu achoijin lengpa kommah hiti hin thu agalhut ne: Keihon nangma thupeh bang bangin katongun ahi.

17 They have paid out the money that was found in the house of the LORD and have put it into the hands of the supervisors and workers.”

Keihon houinna kikoi sumchu kalaovin natong holeh avesui ja pang ho kapeovin ahi

18 Moreover, Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read it in the presence of the king.

Hijou chun aman “Hilkiah in eipeh lekhabu chu kahin choije” atin lekhabu chu lengpa jahdin ahin simphongin ahi

19 When the king heard the words of the Law, he tore his clothes

Lengpan lekhabu kisim chu ajah phat nin kicha tah in apon abotkeh in ahi

20 and commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Abdon son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of the king:

Hichun Hilkiah leh Shaphan chapa Ahikam chuleh Micaiah chapa Abdon chuleh Shaphan athutan na munna lekha jihpa chuleh lengpa kithopi a pang Isaiah ama ho cheng komma chun thu apen:

21 “Go and inquire of the LORD for me and for those remaining in Israel and Judah concerning the words in the book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the LORD that has been poured out on us because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD by doing all that is written in this book.”

“Nangho cheovinlang keima dingleh tunigeija Israel teleh Judah te gamsunga chengnalai mipi ho dingin Pakai chu eigadoh peh un. Hiche lekhabu thuhil hojong gahechen nun. Ipu ipateovin Pakai thupeh anajuilou jeh uleh hiche lekha hin asei dung jui'a anatoh loujeh un Pakai ichunguvah alung hangtan ahi” ati

22 So Hilkiah and those the king had designated went and spoke to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the Second District.

Lengpa thupeh dung juiyin Hilkiah leh aloiho acheovin Jerusalem munthah langa cheng themgao numei Huldah chu gadong dingin acheovin ahi. (Ajipa Shallum chu Tikvah chapa, Hasrah tupa chu houin von ho vesuija panga ahi) Themgaonu kommah thilsoh hochu asei peh un ahi

23 And Huldah said to them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Tell the man who sent you

Amanun amaho chu lengpa komma kinung leovin lang

24 that this is what the LORD says: I am about to bring calamity on this place and on its people, according to all the curses written in the book that has been read in the presence of the king of Judah,

Pakai jakonna thuthot hi seipeh un, “Keiman Jerusalem leh amipiho jouse chunga lengpa komma hiche lekhabu kijih nasim doh u sapset nachu nachung uva kagui lhunsah ding ahi

25 because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. My wrath will be poured out upon this place and will not be quenched.’

Ajeh chu amahon keima eipai dohun Jerusalem chungah kalung hanna akoudoh sahtaovin ahi, Hiche hi mit theilou ding ahi atipeh in ahi

26 But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘As for the words that you heard,

lengpa dinga chu keima Israel Pakai Pathennin asei ahi: Nangin hiche lekhabu a kisei hi nangaijin ahi,

27 because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and against its people, and because you have humbled yourself before Me and you have torn your clothes and wept before Me, I have heard you,’ declares the LORD.

Chuleh nangman Jerusalem leh amipite Kagih naho najah phatnin nalung naheijin ka angah naki sumnemmin navon nasat tellin nakap jengin ahileh keiman nataona kangai peh tan ahi

28 ‘Now I will indeed gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the calamity that I will bring on this place and on its inhabitants.’” So they brought her answer back to the king.

Hijeh chun Jerusalem chunga ka engbol nading nangma thijou teng le bou kaguilhun sah ding ahi. Keiman nangvang lung monga kathisah ding ahi” ati. Hichun amahon hiche thuthot chu apouvin Josiah lengpa kommah akiletaove

29 Then the king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.

Josiah lengpan Judah leh Jerusalem ma lamkai ho jouse chu akou khommin,

30 And he went up to the house of the LORD with all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, as well as the priests and the Levites—all the people small and great—and in their hearing he read all the words of the Book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of the LORD.

Abonnin houinnah achekhommun ahi. Amahochu thempu holeh Levi ten chuleh mipi ho jouse mihao leh mivaicha hon abonnun kitepna lekhabu chu ahin simdoh sahtaan ahi

31 So the king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD to follow the LORD and to keep His commandments, decrees, and statutes with all his heart and all his soul, and to carry out the words of this covenant that were written in this book.

Amachu lengte dinna munnachun Pakai toh kitepna abollin ahi. Pakai thu dung jui'a athupeh nitding dol hochu nitding chun Pakai toh kitepna ananei khommun ahi

32 Then he had everyone in Jerusalem and Benjamin take a stand in agreement to it. So all the people of Jerusalem carried out the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.

Aman Benjamin mipiteleh chuche petna Jerusalem ma umjouse chu hiche kitepna juidingin anopsah taan ahi. Hitichun Jerusalem ma mipite chun apu apateo Pathen toh kitepna ana neitaovin ahi

33 And Josiah removed all the abominations from all the lands belonging to the Israelites, and he required everyone in Israel to serve the LORD their God. Throughout his reign they did not turn aside from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.

Josiah lengpachun Israel mipite gamsunga um kidah umtah doiphung ho jouse chu ana sumang soh in ama hinlai sung chun mipiten apu apateo Pathen, Pakai kinbou anahou sah in ahi
