2 Chronicles 34
1 Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years.
Yosiyaas yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa saddeetii ture; Yerusaalem keessa taaʼees waggaa soddomii tokko bulche.
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.
Inni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan qajeelaa ni hojjete; utuu mirgatti yookaan bitaatti hin gorinis karaa abbaa isaa Daawit irra deeme.
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.
Inni mootii taʼee waggaa saddeettaffaatti utuma umurii dargaggummaa keessa jiruu Waaqa abbaa isaa Daawit barbaaduu jalqabe. Waggaa kudha lammaffaatti immoo Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem keessaa iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa, siidaawwan Aasheeraa, waaqota tolfamoo fi fakkiiwwan baqfamanii tolfaman ni balleesse.
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.
Qajeelfama isaatiinis iddoowwan aarsaa Baʼaal diigaman; iddoowwan aarsaa ixaanaa kanneen achi irra turan caccabsee siidaawwan Aasheeraa, waaqota tolfamoo fi fakkiiwwan hurreesse. Wantoota kanneenis daakee bulleessee awwaala warra isaaniif aarsaa dhiʼeessaa turanii irratti bittinneesse.
5 Then he burned the bones of the priests on their altars. So he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
Lafee lubootaas iddoowwan aarsaa isaanii irratti guggube. Haala kanaanis Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalemin qulqulleesse.
6 Josiah did the same in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, as far as Naphtali, and in the ruins around them.
Magaalaawwan Minaasee, kan Efreemii fi Simiʼoon kanneen hamma Niftaalemitti jiranii fi akkasumas diigamaa naannoowwan isaanii keessatti
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.
iddoowwan aarsaa fi siidaawwan Aasheeraa ni jijjigse; waaqota tolfamoo daaraa godhe; iddoowwan aarsaa ixaanaa kanneen guutummaa Israaʼel keessa jiran hundas ni caccabse. Ergasiis Yerusaalemitti deebiʼe.
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.
Yosiyaas mootii taʼee waggaa kudha saddeettaffaatti erga biyyattii fi mana qulqullummaa qulqulleessee booddee mana Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa haaromsuuf Shaafaan ilma Azaliyaa, Maʼaseyaa bulchaa magaalaa fi Yooʼaa ilma Yooʼaahaaz galmeessaa sana erge.
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.
Isaanis gara Hilqiyaa lubicha ol aanaa dhaqanii maallaqa mana qulqullummaa Waaqaatiif fidame sana itti kennan; maallaqa kanas Lewwota balbala eegantu saboota Minaasee irraa, kan Efreem irraa, hambaawwan Israaʼel hunda irraa, saba Yihuudaa fi kan Beniyaam hunda irraa akkasumas jiraattota Yerusaalem irraa walitti qabe.
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.
Isaanis maallaqa sana namoota akka hojii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo toʼataniif muudamanitti imaanaa kennan. Namoonni kunneenis hojjettoota mana qulqullummaa haaromsanii akka duriitti deebisaniif ni kaffalu.
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.
Akkasumas akka isaan ijaarsa mootonni Yihuudaa akka diigamu godhan sanaaf dhagaa soofame, laaxaawwan, mukkeen sutaa fi dareeraawwan bitaniif ogeeyyii mukaa fi ijaartotatti maallaqa kennan.
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,
Namoonni sunis amanamummaadhaan hojicha hojjetan. Lewwota sanyii Meraarii keessaa Yahaatii fi Obaadiyaan akkasumas sanyii Qohaati keessaa Zakkaariyaasii fi Meshulaam akka jara sana hojjechiisaniif isaan irratti muudaman. Lewwonni meeshaa faarfannaa taphachuu beekan hundis
13 were over the laborers and supervised all who did the work, task by task. Some of the Levites were secretaries, officers, and gatekeepers.
itti gaafatamtoota hojjettoota hojii humnaa taʼanii hojjettoota hojii garaa garaa illee toʼachaa turan. Lewwonni tokko tokkos barreessitoota, qondaaltotaa fi eegdota balbalaa turan.
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.
Utuma isaan maallaqa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti galfame sana baasaa jiranuu Hilqiyaa lubichi Kitaaba Seera Waaqayyoo kan karaa Museetiin kenname sana arge.
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.
Hilqiyaanis Shaafaan barreessaa sanaan, “Ani mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti Kitaaba Seeraa argeen jira” jedhe; kitaabichas Shaafaanitti kenne.
16 Then Shaphan brought the book to the king and reported, “Your servants are doing all that has been placed in their hands.
Shaafaanis kitaabicha fuudhee mootichatti geessee akkana jedhe; “Qondaaltonni kee waan ajajaman hunda hojjechaa jiru.
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.”
Maallaqa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa tures baasanii namoota hojii toʼatanii fi hojjettootatti imaanaa kennaniiru.”
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.
Kana irrattis Shaafaan barreessaan sun, “Hilqiyaa lubichi kitaaba tokko natti kenneera” jedhee mootichatti hime. Shaafaanis fuula mootichaa duratti kitaaba sana dubbise.
19 When the king heard the words of the Law, he tore his clothes
Mootichis yommuu dubbii Seeraa sana dhagaʼetti uffata isaa tarsaase.
20 and commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Abdon son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of the king:
Innis ajaja kana Hilqiyaatti, Ahiiqaam ilma Shaafaanitti, Abdoon ilma Miikaatti, Shaafaan barreessichaa fi Asaayaa tajaajilaa mootichaatti ni kenne:
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.”
“Dhaqaatii waaʼee waan kitaaba argame kana keessatti barreeffamee anaaf, hambaawwan Israaʼel keessaatii fi Yihuudaatiif Waaqayyoon gaafadhaa. Sababii warri nuun duraa dubbii Waaqayyoo hin eeginiif dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo guddaan nutti dhangalaʼeera; isaan akka waan kitaaba kana keessatti barreeffame sana hundaatti hin jiraanneetii.”
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.
Hilqiyaa fi warri mootichi isa wajjin erge sun gara Huldaanaa raajittii jechuunis niitii Shaluum ilma Toqeʼaati, ilma Hasraat kan eegduu mana uffataa turte sanatti himuu dhaqan. Isheenis Yerusaalem keessa aanaa lammaffaa keessa jiraatti turte.
23 And Huldah said to them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Tell the man who sent you
Isheenis akkana isaaniin jette; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Namicha natti isin erge sanatti akkana jedhaa himaa;
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,
‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ani iddoo kanaa fi saba isaatti badiisa jechuunis abaarsa kitaaba fuula mootii Yihuudaa duratti dubbifame sana keessatti barreeffame hunda nan fida.
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.’
Sababii isaan na dhiisanii waaqota biraatiif ixaana aarsuudhaan waan harki isaanii tolche hundaan dheekkamsaaf na kakaasaniif dheekkamsi koo iddoo kana irratti ni dhangalaʼa; hin dhaamus.’
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,
Mootii Yihuudaa kan akka isin Waaqayyoon gaafattaniif isin erge sanatti akkana jedhaatii himaa; ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel waaʼee dubbii ati dhageesse sanaa akkana jedha:
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.
Sababii ati yeroo waan inni waaʼee iddoo kanaatii fi waaʼee saba isaa waan hamaa dubbate dhageessetti garaan kee tuqamee fuula Waaqaa duratti gad of qabdeef, sababii ati fuula koo duratti gad of qabdee, uffata kee tarsaaftee boosseef ani si dhagaʼeera, jedha Waaqayyo.
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.
Ani amma abbootii kee biratti walittin si qaba; atis nagumaan awwaalamta. Waan hamaa ani iddoo kanaa fi warra as jiraatanitti fiduuf jiru hunda iji kee hin argu.’” Isaanis deebii ishee fudhatanii gara mootichaatti deebiʼan.
29 Then the king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Ergasiis mootichi maanguddoota Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem hunda walitti ni waame.
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.
Innis namoota Yihuudaa, jiraattota Yerusaalem, lubootaa fi Lewwota wajjin jechuunis nama xinnaa fi guddaa hunda wajjin gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ol baʼe. Dubbii Kitaaba Kakuu kan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti argame sanaa hundas akka isaan dhagaʼanitti dubbiseef.
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.
Mootichis utubaa isaa bira dhaabatee akka Waaqayyoon duukaa buʼu, akka garaa isaa guutuu fi lubbuu isaa guutuudhaan ajaja isaa, dambiiwwan isaatii fi labsiiwwan isaa eegee, dubbiiwwan kakuu kanneen kitaaba kana keessatti barreeffamaniifis akka ajajamu fuula Waaqayyoo duratti kakuu ni haaromse.
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.
Ergasiis akka namni Yerusaalemii fi Beniyaam keessa jiraatu hundi kakuu galu ni godhe; namoonni Yerusaalemis akkuma kakuu Waaqaa jechuunis Waaqa abbootii isaaniitti waan kana ni godhan.
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.
Yosiyaasis guutummaa biyya Israaʼel keessaa waaqota jibbisiisoo ni balleesse; akka warri Israaʼel keessa jiran hundinuus Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii waaqeffatan ni godhe. Isaan hamma inni lubbuun jiraatetti Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaanii duukaa buʼuu irraa duubatti hin deebine.
