2 Kings 23
1 Then the king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Hijou chun lengpan Judah leh Jerusalem a lamkaiho jouse akoukhom’in,
2 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 prophets—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.
Chuin lengpa chun Judah le Jerusalem a mipiho jouse toh thempu holeh themgao hotoh mipi aneopen leh alenpen geijin Pakai houin’ah akilhon khompi in, hichea chun Pakai houin na kimu Pakai toh kitepna lekhabu chu lengpan mipi holah’a abonchan asimphong in ahi.
3 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. And all the people entered into the covenant.
Lengpa chu thuneina mun khompi panga chun adingin Pakai ang’ah chun kitepna chu panthah lah na aneipi in ahi. Aman mipi ho jouse koma chun, Pakai dan thupeh jouse, chondan ho jouse chu chu alungthim pumpiuva anitsohkei dingin ngehna aneiyin ahi. Hitihin aman lekha jolla kijih Pakai toh kitepna chu asudet’in ahi, chuleh mipi hojong chu ama cheh Pakai ang’a kitepna aneiyun ahi.
4 Then the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the priests second in rank, and the doorkeepers to remove from the temple of the LORD all the articles made for Baal, Asherah, and all the host of heaven. And he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron and carried their ashes to Bethel.
Chuin lengpan Hilkiah thempulen chule amasanga neojo thempuho chutoh chuleh Houin kotngah hochu Baal houna leh Asherah leh vanlaijol thuneiho houna thilho jouse chu Pakai houin akona alahdoh dingun thu apen ahi. Lengpan hicheho jouse chu Jerusalem polanga Kidron phaicham munnah meiyin ana go-lhah sah tan ahi, avam hochu Bethel lang’a apo mangun ahi.
5 Josiah also did away with the idolatrous priests ordained by the kings of Judah to burn incense on the high places of the cities of Judah and in the places all around Jerusalem—those who had burned incense to Baal, to the sun and moon, to the constellations, and to all the host of heaven.
Tumasang’a Judah lenghon ana pansah’u doi houna kimangcha thempu hochu aman ana sumang gamtan ahi. Ajeh chu amahon Judah gamsung jouse ah, pathen neilouho doiphung ang’a kilhaina ana bolji jiu ahi. Amahon Baal, nisa le lha, ahsi hole van thuneina hojouse ang’a kilhaina anabol ji jiu ahi.
6 He brought the Asherah pole from the house of the LORD to the Kidron Valley outside Jerusalem, and there he burned it, ground it to powder, and threw its dust on the graves of the common people.
Hichun lengpan, Asherah kihouna doikhum jong Pathen Houin’a konin aladoh in Jerusalem pamlam Kidron phaicham’ah ahallha gam in ahi. Aman doikhom hochu agoibong in vut ason mipi kivuina lhan chunga athe thang tan ahi.
7 He also tore down the quarters of the male shrine prostitutes that were in the house of the LORD, where the women had woven tapestries for Asherah.
Aman pasal kijoh hole numei kijoh ho achennao mun jouse chu aphelhan, Pakai houin sunga akijohnao doiphung jong asuhset pehin. Hichea numei hon Asherah ahounao ponlukhuh ding akhon nao ahi.
8 Then Josiah brought all the priests from the cities of Judah and desecrated the high places, from Geba to Beersheba, where the priests had burned incense. He tore down the high places of the gates at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which was to the left of the city gate.
Josiah in, Judah khopi dang danga cheng thempu hojouse chu Jerusalem’ah ahin polut’in ahi. Aman Geba le Beershaba kikah a um Pathen neilouho doiphung kilhaina gantha abolnao munchu asuhbohpeh in ahi. Aman Jerusalem a gamvaipo Joshua kelkot’a hunglutna munna kithoina doiphung jong ana sumangin ahi. Hiche kelkot hi khopi igahlutna a kelkot veilanga um’ah ahi.
9 Although the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, they ate unleavened bread with their fellow priests.
Hiche Pathen neilouho doiphunga thempu ana pang hochu Jerusalem a Pakai maicham a na atohdiu ana phal pon ahi, amavang thempu dang hotoh cholsolou changlhah anehdiu vang aphal in ahi.
10 He also desecrated Topheth in the Valley of Ben-hinnom so that no one could sacrifice his son or daughter in the fire to Molech.
Chujou chun lengpan Ben-hinnom phaicham a um Topheth maicham jong chu ana suboh peh in ahi. Hijehchun hilai munna hin koiman Molech anga katding’a achapa hileh achanu hileh meiya govam dia kilhaina abolsah tapouvin ahi.
11 And he removed from the entrance to the house of the LORD the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun. They were in the court near the chamber of an official named Nathan-melech. And Josiah burned up the chariots of the sun.
Aman sakol lim kisemthu Judah leng masa hon nisa houna a ana tundoh’u jong chu Pakai houin na konin ana ladoh in ahi. Hicheho chu Nathan-melech kiti nukiso thu kitanna a pipui khat in hotoh kinaija uma ahi. Lengpan sakol kangtalai nisa houna a anakatdoh jiu jong chu ana hal-lha tan ahi.
12 He pulled down the altars that the kings of Judah had set up on the roof near the upper chamber of Ahaz, and the altars that Manasseh had set up in the two courtyards of the house of the LORD. The king pulverized them there and threw their dust into the Kidron Valley.
Leng inpia Ahaz indan chungnung chungvuma inchung’a Judahte leng danghon ana sem’u maicham phungho chu, Josiah in ana suchip in ana subeiyin ahi. Chuleh Pakai houin hongcha teni a Manasseh in anasem maicham jong chu lengpan ana sumang in ahi. Aman ahel hellin ana vochip in, ahel hochu Kidron phaicham’a ana the jallin ahi.
13 The king also desecrated the high places east of Jerusalem, to the south of the Mount of Corruption, which King Solomon of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
Solomon lengpan kidah umtah semthu doiho houna dinga Jerusalem solang chuleh Olive mol lhang langa maicham ana tundoh hochu Josiah in asuhboh peh in ahi. Solomon in ana semdoh doi hochu, Ashtoreth kiti kidah umtah Sidon mite numei pathen, Chemosh kiti kidah umtah Moab te pathen chuleh Molech kiti Ammon mite pathen ahiuve.
14 He smashed the sacred pillars to pieces, cut down the Asherah poles, and covered the sites with human bones.
Josiah in doikhom jouse ana volhun, chuleh Asherah ahounau doiphung jong ana phuhlhun, hijouchun hiche munho a chun mihem gule chang ho chu ana thekhum’in, asuhboh peh sohkei jin ahi.
15 He even pulled down the altar at Bethel, the high place set up by Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin. Then he burned the high place, ground it to powder, and burned the Asherah pole.
Nebat chapa Jeroboam in Israelte ana chonset sahna Bethel’a semthu pathen houna chu ana jep lhun ahi. Aman adoiphung’u chu ana halvam in chuleh Asherah doikhum jong ana hal-lhai.
16 And as Josiah turned, he saw the tombs there on the hillside, and he sent someone to take the bones out of the tombs, and he burned them on the altar to defile it, according to the word of the LORD proclaimed by the man of God who had foretold these things.
Hijou chun Josiah ahung kiheiyin ahileh mol lhang lang panga lhanmol tamtah hochu ahin mudoh in ahileh aman aguhou chu ahin chomdoh uva Bethel doiphung ho chu suhbohna dingin achung'uva guho chu ahal lhahsah in ahi. (Hiche thil sohhi Jeroboam chu kut nikhoa maicham panga ana din phat’a hiche thilsoh ding hi Pakai jin Pathen mipa ana phondohsah ahi). Chuin Josiah agah dadohleh Pathen mipa lhan chu agah mun, amachu hiche thilsoh ding ana phongdoh pachu ahi.
17 Then the king asked, “What is this monument I see?” And the men of the city replied, “It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and pronounced these things that you have done to the altar of Bethel.”
“Hiche lhankhu koija ham?” tia Josiah in adohleh, mipihochun, “Hiche lhan hi Judah a kona hung Pathen mipa tunia Bethel’a nahintoh dingho ana seidohpa lhan chu ahi,” atiuve.
18 “Let him rest,” said Josiah. “Do not let anyone disturb his bones.” So they left his bones undisturbed, along with those of the prophet who had come from Samaria.
Hichun Josiah in adonbut in, “Hichu limsah hih un, agu jong suboi hih un,” ati. Hijehchun amahon ama guchu ahal tapouve, hitobang machun Samaria kon themgaopa a jong asuloh pouvin ahi.
19 Just as Josiah had done at Bethel, so also in the cities of Samaria he removed all the shrines of the high places set up by the kings of Israel who had provoked the LORD to anger.
Hiche jouchun Joshia in Bethel’a abol bang bangin Samaria’a jong ana bollin, khopiho sunga pathen neilouho doiphung hole ainhou aban vohset peh in ahi. Hiche hochu Israel leng tamtah'in ana tundoh uva Pakai ana lunghan sah’u anahi.
20 On the altars he slaughtered all the priests of the high places, and he burned human bones on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
Hichun Josiah lengpa, pathen neilouho doi houna a thempu a pangho jouse chu amaicham chung tah uva athat’in mihem guhochu amaicham chunguva ahallin hiti chun ana suhboh peh in jouvin Jerusalemma ahung kile tai.
21 The king commanded all the people, “Keep the Passover of the LORD your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.”
Chuin Josiah lengpan mijouse het dingin thupeh khat aphongdoh in, “Pakai toh kitepna lekhabu dung juiyin nanghon Pakai na Pathen’u kom’a kalchuh kut namantei teidiu ahi,” ati.
22 No such Passover had been observed from the days of the judges who had governed Israel through all the days of the kings of Israel and Judah.
Israelten thutan vaihom ho khanglai apat’a Israel lengte khanglai le Judah lengte khanglai geija jong hitobang kalchuh kut hi ana kimang kha talou ahitai.
23 But in the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign, this Passover was observed to the LORD in Jerusalem.
Josiah leng chan kal kum somle kumget alhin kum a bou hiche kalchuh kut hi Jerusalem khopia hung kimang pan kit bep ahi.
24 Furthermore, Josiah removed the mediums and spiritists, the household gods and idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. He did this to carry out the words of the law written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had found in the house of the LORD.
Josiah in gaochang miho jong asumang in, mitpheldoi them ho jong asubeijin, indoile milim doi kisem tapou chu Judah gamsung le Jerusalem’a amudoh thet umtah thil tapou chu asubei jingin, Pakai houin sunga Hilkiah thempupan ahin mudoh lekhajol sunga kisun Pakai thusei jouse chu atohdoh thei tei nadin aboltan ahi.
25 Neither before nor after Josiah was there any king like him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, according to all the Law of Moses.
Josiah masang in ama tobang leng alungthim pumpi le ahinkholhum keija chule athanei na jousea Pakai jinga kingaija Mose danthua kisei ho aboncha jui sohkei koima ana umpon, ama nungin jong koima dang ahung umkit tapon ahi.
26 Nevertheless, the LORD did not turn away from the fury of His burning anger, which was kindled against Judah because of all that Manasseh had done to provoke Him to anger.
Ahijingvangin Pakai chu Judah chungah ana lunghang lheh jengin ahi. Ajeh chu Manasseh in thilphalou tamtah ana tohdoh a Pathen ana choudoh ahi.
27 For the LORD had said, “I will remove Judah from My sight, just as I removed Israel. I will reject this city Jerusalem, which I chose, and the temple of which I said, ‘My Name shall be there.’”
Ajeh chu Pakaiyin hitin anaseije, “Keiman Israel katolmang banga Judah jong katolmang soh ding ahitai. Chule Keiman kalhendoh Jerusalem khopi leh ahouin a kamin kija dinga kana lhendoh jonghi kapaidoh ding ahitai.,” ati.
28 As for the rest of the acts of Josiah, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Josiah vaihom sunga thilsoh dangho jouse le anatoh jouse hi Judah lengte thusimbu kijihlutna lekhabua aumsoh keijin ahi.
29 At the end of Josiah’s reign, Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt marched up to help the king of Assyria at the Euphrates River. King Josiah went out to confront him, but Neco faced him and killed him at Megiddo.
Josiah leng chanlaijin Egypt lengpa Neco chun Assyria lengpa kithopi dingin Euphrates vadung lang ana jontan ahi. Josiah in asepai ho akipuijin aga kisatpin ahi. Ahinla Neco in Megiddo muna akimaitopin ahileh Josiah lengpa chu amahon athattan ahi.
30 From Megiddo his servants carried his body in a chariot, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him king in place of his father.
Josiah noija sepai lamkai hon atahsa chu sakol kangtalai’ah Megiddo a konin Jerusalem’ah ahin polut’un ama lhankhuh achun anavui tauvin ahi. Hijouchun agamsung mipiten Josiah chapa Jehoahaz chu amakhel in leng achansah tauvin ahi.
31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.
Jehoahaz chu leng ahung chan chun ama kum somni thum ana lhingtan ahi. Chuleh aman Jerusalem’ah lha thum leng ana changing ahi. Anuchu Libnah khopi akona Jeremiah chanu Hamutal ahi.
32 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his fathers had done.
Amahin apu apateu chonna bang bangin Pathen deilou jeng ana bollin ahi.
33 And Pharaoh Neco imprisoned Jehoahaz at Riblah in the land of Hamath so that he could not reign in Jerusalem, and he imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
Pharaoh Neco in Johoahaz chu Jerusalem’a avaihoplou nading in Hamath gam’ah Riblah mun’ah songkulla aheng in ahi. Chule aman Judah ten dangka pound sang sagi le ja nga chuleh sana pound som sagi le nga kai apeh dingin ana ngeh in ahi.
34 Then Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim son of Josiah king in place of his father Josiah, and he changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt, where he died.
Hichun Pharaoh Neco in Josiah chate lah’a khat Eliakim kitipa chu apa khellin leng chang ding in atung in a, amin jong akhel peh in, Jehoiakim asah tan ahi. Ahin Jehoahaz vang chu Egypt gam'a soh chang dingin apuijin hikom’a chun ahung thiden tan ahi.
35 So Jehoiakim paid the silver and gold to Pharaoh Neco, but to meet Pharaoh’s demand he taxed the land and exacted the silver and the gold from the people, each according to his wealth.
Pharaoh Neco kom’a kai apeh jouna dingun Jehoiakm in Judah mipite lah’a konin sana le dangka ama ama neile neilou dungjuijin adongin ahi.
36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Zebidah daughter of Pedaiah; she was from Rumah.
Jehoiakim chu leng ahung chan kum chun ama kum somni le nga ana lhingtan ahi. Jerusalema chun kum som le khat sung vai anahom in ahi. Anu chu Rumah khopi akon Pedaiah chanu Zebidah ahi.
37 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his fathers had done.
Ama jong hin apu apate bang bangin Pakai mitmu’n thilse jeng ana bollin ahi.
