< 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.
Josiah jẹ́ ọmọ ọdún mẹ́jọ nígbà tí ó di ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mọ́kànlélọ́gbọ̀n. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ a máa jẹ́ Jedida ọmọbìnrin Adaiah; ó wá láti Boskati.
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.
Ó sì ṣe èyí tí ó dára lójú Olúwa, ó sì rìn ní ọ̀nà Dafidi baba a rẹ̀, kò sì yípadà sí apá ọ̀tún tàbí sí apá òsì.
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,
Ní ọdún kejìdínlógún tí ó fi jẹ ọba. Ọba Josiah rán akọ̀wé, Ṣafani ọmọ Asalia, ọmọ Meṣullamu, sí ilé Olúwa. Ó wí pé,
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.
“Gòkè lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Hilkiah olórí àlùfáà, kí o sì jẹ́ kí ó ṣírò iye owó tí a mú wá sí ilé Olúwa, tí àwọn olùṣọ́nà ti gbà lọ́wọ́ àwọn ènìyàn.
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—
Ẹ sì jẹ́ kí wọn ó fi lé àwọn ọkùnrin tí a ti yàn láti bojútó iṣẹ́ náà lórí ilé Olúwa. Kí ẹ sì jẹ́ kí àwọn ọkùnrin san án fún àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ tí ó ń tún ilé Olúwa ṣe.
6 to the carpenters, builders, and masons—to buy timber and dressed stone to repair the temple.
Àwọn gbẹ́nàgbẹ́nà, àwọn ọ̀mọ̀lé àti àwọn akọ́lé. Bákan náà ni wọ́n ra igi àti òkúta ọlọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ láti fi tún tẹmpili ṣe.
7 But they need not account for the money put into their hands, since they work with integrity.”
Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò ní láti ṣe ìṣirò fún owó náà tí a fi fún wọn, nítorí wọ́n ṣe òtítọ́.”
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.
Hilkiah olórí àlùfáà sọ fún Ṣafani akọ̀wé pé, “Èmi rí ìwé òfin nílé Olúwa.” Ó fi fún Ṣafani, ẹni tí ó kà á.
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.”
Nígbà náà, Ṣafani akọ̀wé lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba. Ó sì sọ fún un pé, “Àwọn ìjòyè rẹ ti san owó náà tí ó wà nínú ilé Olúwa. Èmi sì ti fi lé ọwọ́ àwọn tí ó ń ṣe iṣẹ́ náà àti àwọn alábojútó nílé Olúwa.”
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.
Nígbà náà Ṣafani akọ̀wé sọ fún ọba pé, “Hilkiah àlùfáà ti fún un ní ìwé kan.” Ṣafani kà lára rẹ̀ níwájú ọba.
11 When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his clothes
Nígbà tí ọba gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó wà nínú ìwé òfin, ó sì fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya.
12 and commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Achbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of the king:
Ó pa àṣẹ yìí fún Ahikamu àlùfáà, Hilkiah ọmọ Ṣafani, Akbori ọmọ Mikaiah, àti Ṣafani akọ̀wé àti Asaiah ìránṣẹ́ ọba.
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.”
“Lọ, ẹ béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa fún mi àti fún àwọn ènìyàn àti fún gbogbo Juda nípa ohun tí a kọ sínú ìwé yìí tí a ti rí. Títóbi ni ìbínú Olúwa tí ó ń jó sí wa nítorí àwọn baba wa kò tẹ̀lé ọ̀rọ̀ inú ìwé yìí; wọn kò ṣe ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú gbogbo ohun tí a kọ níbẹ̀ nípa wa.”
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.
Hilkiah àlùfáà, Ahikamu àti Akbori Ṣafani pẹ̀lú Asaiah, lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ wòlíì obìnrin Hulda láti lọ bá a sọ̀rọ̀, ẹni tí ó jẹ́ aya Ṣallumu ọmọ Tikfa ọmọ Harhasi alábojútó ibi ìpa aṣọ mọ́ sí. Ó ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu ní ìdàkejì.
15 And Huldah said to them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Tell the man who sent you
Ó wí fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí, Sọ fún ọkùnrin tí ó rán an yín sí mi,
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,
‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: Èmi yóò mú ibi wá sí ibí àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú gbogbo ohun tí a kọ sínú ìwé tí ọba Juda ti kà.
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.’
Nítorí tí wọ́n ti kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì tún sun tùràrí fún ọlọ́run mìíràn. Wọ́n sì mú mi bínú nípa gbogbo àwọn òrìṣà tí wọ́n ti fi ọwọ́ wọn dá. Ìbínú mi yóò ru sí ibí yìí, kì yóò sì rọlẹ̀.’
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,
Sọ fún ọba Juda tí ó rán yín láti béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí nípa ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí ìwọ ti gbọ́.
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.
Nítorí tí ọkàn rẹ rọ̀, tí ìwọ sì ti rẹ ara rẹ sílẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa, nígbà tí ìwọ gbọ́ èyí tí mo sọ sí ibí yìí àti sí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ pé wọn yóò di ahoro àti ẹni ègún tí ìwọ sì fa aṣọ ọ̀ rẹ ya pẹ̀lú níwájú mi. Èmi ti gbọ́ tìrẹ, ni Olúwa wí.
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.
Nítorí náà èmi yóò kó ọ jọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn baba à rẹ, a ó sì sin ọ́ ní àlàáfíà. Ojú rẹ kì yóò rí gbogbo àwọn ibi tí èmi yóò mú wá bá ibí yìí.’” Bẹ́ẹ̀ wọ́n mú èsì rẹ̀ padà tọ ọba wá.
