2 Kings 22
1 Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. His mother’s name was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah; she was from Bozkath.
E waru nga tau o Hohia i tona kingitanga, a e toru tekau ma tahi nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Ierira, he tamahine na Araia, no Pohokata.
2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and walked in all the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right or to the left.
A tika tonu tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa: i haere hoki ia i runga i nga ara katoa o tona tupuna o Rawiri, a kihai i peka ki matau, ki maui.
3 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah sent the scribe, Shaphan son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, to the house of the LORD, saying,
Na i te tekau ma waru o nga tau o Kingi Hohia ka unga e te kingi a Hapana tama a Ataria tama a Mehurama, te kaituhituhi, ki te whare o Ihowa; i mea ia,
4 “Go up to Hilkiah the high priest and have him count the money that has been brought into the house of the LORD, which the doorkeepers have collected from the people.
Haere ki a Hirikia ki te tino tohunga, kia huihuia e ia te moni e kawea ana mai ki roto ki te whare o Ihowa, ta nga kaitiaki o te kuwaha i tango ai i te iwi;
5 And let them deliver it into the hands of the supervisors of those doing the work on the house of the LORD, who in turn are to give it to the workmen repairing the damages to the house of the LORD—
Ka hoatu ki nga ringa o nga kaimahi o te mahi, o nga kaitohutohu o te whare o Ihowa; a ma ratou e hoatu ki nga kaimahi o te mahi i te whare o Ihowa, hei hanga mo nga wahi pakaru o te whare;
6 to the carpenters, builders, and masons—to buy timber and dressed stone to repair the temple.
Ki nga kamura, ki nga kaihanga, ki nga kaimahi kohatu; a hei hoko i nga rakau, i nga kohatu tarai, hei hanga mo te whare.
7 But they need not account for the money put into their hands, since they work with integrity.”
Otiia kihai i uiuia a ratou meatanga i te moni i hoatu nei ki o ratou ringa; he pono hoki ta ratou mahi.
8 Then Hilkiah the high priest 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, who read it.
Na ka mea a Hirikia tino tohunga ki a Hapana kaituhituhi, Kua kitea e ahau te pukapuka o te ture i te whare o Ihowa. Na ka hoatu e Hirikia te pukapuka ki a Hapana, a korerotia ana e ia.
9 And Shaphan the scribe went to the king and reported, “Your servants have paid out the money that was found in the temple and have put it into the hands of the workers and supervisors of the house of the LORD.”
Na ka haere a Hapana kaituhituhi ki te kingi, whakahokia ana te korero e ia ki te kingi, i mea ia, Kua ringiringihia e au pononga te moni i kitea ki te whare, a hoatu ana ki nga ringa o nga kaimahi i te mahi, o nga kaitohutohu i te whare o Ihowa.
10 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.
Na ka whakaatu a Hapana kaituhituhi ki te kingi, ka mea, Kua homai e Hirikia tohunga he pukapuka ki ahau. Na korerotia ana e Hapana ki te aroaro o te kingi.
11 When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his clothes
A, no te rongonga o te kingi i nga kupu o te pukapuka o te ture, ka haea e ia ona kakahu.
12 and commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Achbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of the king:
Na ka whakahau te kingi ki te tohunga, ki a Hirikia, ratou ko Ahikama tama a Hapana, ko Akaporo tama a Mikaia, ko Hapana kaituhituhi, ko Ahaia tangata a te kingi, ka mea,
13 “Go and inquire of the LORD for me, for the people, and for all Judah concerning the words in this book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the LORD that burns against us because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book by doing all that is written about us.”
Haere, ui atu ki a Ihowa moku, mo tenei iwi, mo Hura katoa hoki, he mea na nga kupu o tenei pukapuka kua kitea nei: he nui hoki te riri o Ihowa kua ngiha nei ki a tatou, no te mea kihai o tatou matua i rongo ki nga kupu o tenei pukapuka, kihai i mahi i nga mea katoa i tuhituhia hei mea ma tatou.
14 So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went and spoke to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, the keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the Second District.
Heoi haere ana a Hirikia tohunga ratou ko Ahikama, ko Akaporo, ko Hapana, ko Ahaia ki a Hurura, ki te wahine poropiti, wahine a Harumu kaitiaki kakahu, he tama hoki tera na Tikiwa tama a Harahaha: i Hiruharama hoki taua wahine e noho ana, i te w ahi tuarua. Na korero ana ratou ki a ia.
15 And Huldah said to them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Tell the man who sent you
Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ko te korero tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Mea atu ki te tangata nana koutou i unga mai ki ahau,
16 that this is what the LORD says: I am about to bring calamity on this place and on its people, according to all the words of the book that the king of Judah has read,
Ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei, Nana, ka kawea atu e ahau he kino ki runga ki tenei wahi, ki runga ano i ona tangata, ara nga kupu katoa o te pukapuka i korerotia na e te kingi o Hura;
17 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 kindled against this place and will not be quenched.’
Mo ratou i whakarere i ahau, i tahu whakakakara ki nga atua ke, he whakapataritari hoki i ahau ki nga mahi katoa a o ratou ringa; koia i ngiha ai toku riri ki tenei wahi, a e kore e tineia.
18 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,
Otiia me ki atu e koutou ki te kingi o Hura nana nei koutou i unga mai ki te ui ki a Ihowa, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira; Na mo nga kupu i rongo na koe,
19 because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its people, that they would become a desolation and a curse, and because you have torn your clothes and wept before Me, I have heard you,’ declares the LORD.
Na te mea he ngawari tou ngakau, a kua whakaiti koe i a koe ki te aroaro o Ihowa, i a koe ka rongo na ki taku i mea ai mo tenei wahi, mo ona tangata hoki, kia meinga ratou hei ururua, hei kanga; a kua haehae i ou kakahu, kua tangi ki toku aroaro; na kua rongo ano hoki ahau i a koe, e ai ta Ihowa.
20 ‘Therefore 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.’” So they brought her answer back to the king.
Nana, ka huihuia atu koe e ahau ki ou matua, ka huihuia atu ano koe ki tou tanumanga i runga i te rangimarie, a e kore ou kanohi e kite i nga kino katoa e kawea mai e ahau ki tenei wahi. Na whakahokia ana te korero e ratou ki te kingi.
