2 Kings 23
1 Then the king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Tokosra Josiah el pangoneni mwet kol nukewa lun Judah ac Jerusalem,
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.
ac elos tukeni som nu in Tempul, wi pac mwet tol ac mwet palu ac mwet nukewa saya — mwet kasrup ac mwet sukasrup oana sie. Tokosra el riti nufon book in wuleang se ma koneyukyak in Tempul ye mutalos nukewa.
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.
El tu sisken sru soko lun leum uh, ac oru sie wulela yurin LEUM GOD lah el ac fah aksol ac liyaung ma sap ac oakwuk lal ke insial kewa ac ngunal kewa, ac el ac fah moulkin kas nukewa ma oan ke wuleang sac, oana ke simla in book sac. Ac mwet nukewa wulela in wi pac liyaung wuleang sac.
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.
Na Josiah el sapkin Mwet Tol Fulat Hilkiah ac mwet tol ma kasrel, oayapa mwet topang ke nien utyak nu in Tempul, elos in usla ma nukewa ma oan in Tempul sac ma tuh orekmakinyuk ke alu nu sel Baal ac nu ke god mutan Asherah ac nu ke itu uh. Tokosra el esukak ma inge nukewa likin siti uh, apkuran nu ke Infahlfal Kidron, na el sapkin in utukla apat kac nu Bethel.
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.
El eisla orekma lun mwet tol su tokosra lun Judah elos tuh mosrwela in orek kisa ke loang lun mwet pegan in siti in acn Judah ac in acn ma oan apkuran nu Jerusalem, aok mwet tol nukewa su orek kisa nu sin Baal, nu ke faht, malem, planet, ac itu uh.
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.
El moklela ma sruloala ke god mutan Asherah liki Tempul, ac usla liki siti uh nu ke Infahlfal Kidron. El esukak ac tuktukya nwe ke apatla, ac sisalik yen kulyuk lun mwet uh oan we.
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.
El kunausla nien muta in Tempul ma orekmakinyuk sin mukul ac mutan ma eis molin kosro lalos. (Pa inge acn se mutan uh ac tolongla nuknuk oa ma orekmakinyuk nu ke alu lun Asherah.)
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.
El use mwet tol su tuh muta in siti lun Judah nu Jerusalem, ac in acn nukewa in facl sac el aktaekye loang ma elos orek kisa kac. El oayapa kunausla loang ma sriyukla nu ke alu nu ke ma sruloala in luman nani uh, ma oan apkuran nu ke mutunpot su Joshua, governor lun siti uh, el tuh orala, su oan layen lasa ke mutunpot lulap ke mwet uh ac utyak nu in siti uh.
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.
Tia lela mwet tol inge in kulansap in Tempul, tusruktu elos ku in kang bread tia akpulol ma orekla nu sin mwet tol wialos.
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.
Tokosra Josiah el oayapa aktaekyala Topheth, nien alu lun mwet pegan ke Infahlfal Hinnom, tuh mwet uh in tia sang wen ku acn natulos in mwe kisa firir nu sin god Molech.
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.
El oayapa moklela horse ma tokosra lun Judah elos tuh kisakunla in mwe alu nu ke faht, ac el esukak chariot ma orekmakinyuk ke alu sac. (Ma inge oan ke inkul lun tempul apkuran nu ke mutunpot we, ac tia loes liki nien muta lal Nathan Melech, sie mwet pwapa fulat.)
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.
Tokosra Josiah el kunausla loang ma tokosra lun acn Judah tuh musaela fin lohm sel Tokosra Ahaz ke inkul fulat lun tokosra, wi pac loang ma Tokosra Manasseh el tuh musaela luin kalkal luo ke Tempul. El lipikya loang inge nu ke ip srisrik, ac sisla nu Infahlfal Kidron.
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.
Josiah el akkolukyela pac loang ma Tokosra Solomon el tuh musaela kutulap in acn Jerusalem layen eir in Fineol Olive, tuh in mwe alu nu ke ma sruloala Astarte, god mutan srungayuk lun Sidon, ac Chemosh god lun acn Moab, ac Molech god lun acn Ammon.
14 He smashed the sacred pillars to pieces, cut down the Asherah poles, and covered the sites with human bones.
Tokosra Josiah el kunausya sru eot uh nu ke ip srisrik, ac pakiya ma sruloala nukewa ke god mutan Asherah, na el afunla acn ma inge tu we meet ke srin mwet.
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.
Josiah el oayapa kunausya nien alu in Bethel ma musaiyukla sel Tokosra Jeroboam wen natul Nebat, su tuh kolla mwet Israel in oru ma koluk. Josiah el rakinya loang sac, kunausya eot kac nu ke ip srisrik, ac tuktukya nwe ke mokutkuti. El oayapa esukak ma sruloala kacl Asherah.
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.
Na Josiah el ngetot ngetma nwe liyauk kutu kulyuk ma oan fin inging, ac El sap in pukpukyak sri kac, ac isisyak fin loang ah. El oru lumah se inge in aktaekyala loang sac, ac oru ma mwet palu tuh palyeak ke pacl loeloes meet ah, ke pacl in kufwa se ma Tokosra Jeroboam el tu pe loang sac. Tokosra Josiah el ngetnget nwe liyauk kulyuk se lun mwet palu se ma tuh palyeak ma inge.
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.”
El siyuk, “Lun su kulyuk se ingan?” Na mwet Bethel elos topuk ac fahk, “Ma lun mwet palu se ma tuku Judah me, ac palye ma kom oru nu ke loang se inge uh.”
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.
Na Josiah el fahk, “Filiyana in oan. Sri kacl an ac tia wi mokleyuk.” Ouinge sri kacl ah tiana mokleyuk, ac tia pac mokleyuk sri ke mwet palu se ma tuku Samaria me.
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.
In siti lun Israel nukewa, Tokosra Josiah el rakinya nien alu nukewa lun mwet pegan su tuh musala sin tokosra lun Israel ac akkasrkusrakye LEUM GOD. El oru nu ke loang nukewa ingan oana ma el tuh oru in acn Bethel.
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.
El uniya mwet tol nukewa lun mwet pegan fin loang ma elos tuh orek kisa kac, ac el esukak srin mwet uh fin loang inge nukewa. Na el folokla nu Jerusalem.
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.”
Tokosra Josiah el sapkin mwet uh in oru akfulat lun Kufwen Alukela in akfulatye LEUM GOD lalos, oana ma simla in book in wuleang.
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.
Wangin sie Kufwen Alukela akfulatyeyuk oana kufwa se inge sin kutena tokosra lun Israel ku lun Judah oe in pacl se ma mwet nununku elos tuh leumi mutunfacl sac nwe misenge.
23 But in the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign, this Passover was observed to the LORD in Jerusalem.
Ouinge, Kufwen Alukela tufahna sifilpa akfulatyeyuk in acn Jerusalem, ke yac aksingoul oalkosr ma Tokosra Josiah el leum.
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.
In akkeye ma sap su simla in book se ma Mwet Tol Fulat Hilkiah el tuh konauk in Tempul, Tokosra Josiah el orani mwet sramsram nu sin inut, mwet susfa, ma sruloala, mwe alyalu srisrik in lohm sin mwet, ac kutena ma saya ma mwet pegan elos alyalu nu kac, ac sisla ma inge nukewa liki acn Jerusalem ac liki facl Judah nufon.
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.
Wangin sie tokosra oana el oemeet me, su kulansupu LEUM GOD ke insial ac ngunal ac ku lal nufon, ac akos ma sap nukewa lal Moses, oayapa wangin pac sie tokol oana el.
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.
Tusruktu ke sripen ma koluk nukewa Tokosra Manasseh el tuh oru meet, kasrkusrak lulap lun LEUM GOD lain Judah srakna oan ac soenna wanginla.
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.’”
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac oru nu sin Judah oana ke nga tuh oru nu sin Israel: Nga ac lusla mwet Judah liki ye mutuk, ac nga ac sisla acn Jerusalem, siti se nga tuh sulela, oayapa Tempul, acn se su nga tuh fahk mu mwet uh in alu nu sik we.”
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?
Ma nukewa saya ma Tokosra Josiah el tuh orala, simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Judah.]
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.
Ke pacl ma Josiah el tuh tokosra, Tokosra Neco lun Egypt el kol un mwet mweun lal som nwe ke Infacl Euphrates in tuh kasrel Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria. Tokosra Josiah el tuh srike in sikulya mwet mweun lun Egypt e Megiddo, tuh pa anwuki el ke mweun sac.
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.
Mwet pwapa fulat lal elos filiya manol fin chariot soko ac folokunla nu Jerusalem, ac pukpuki el ke inkulyuk lun tokosra. Mwet Judah elos sulella Joahaz wen natul Josiah, ac mosrwella elan tokosra.
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.
Joahaz el yac longoul tolu ke el tokosrala lun Judah, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke malem tolu. Nina kial pa Hamutal acn natul Jeremiah, su mwet in siti Libnah.
32 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his fathers had done.
El fahsr tukun srikasrak koluk lun mwet matu lal somla, ac oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD.
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.
Pacl in leum lal safla ke pacl se Tokosra Neco lun Egypt el sruokilya ac kaprilya in siti Riblah in facl Hamath. Tokosra Neco el sap tuh facl Judah in moli takma nu sel ke paun itkosr tausin lumfoko ke silver, ac paun itngoul limekosr ke gold.
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.
Tokosra Neco el sraklalak Eliakim, wen natul Josiah, elan tokosrala lun Judah in aolul Josiah, ac ekulla inel Eliakim nu ke Jehoiakim. Tokosra Neco el usalla Joahaz nu Egypt, ac Joahaz el misa we.
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.
Tokosra Jehoiakim el eisani mani in tax sin mwet uh fal nu ke kasrup lun kais sie, in orala lupan mani se ma tokosra Egypt el sap in orekeni nu ke takma.
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 el yac longoul limekosr ke el tokosrala lun Judah, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac singoul sie. Nina kial pa Zebidah acn natul Pedaiah, sie mwet in siti srisrik Rumah.
37 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his fathers had done.
Jehoiakim el oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, oana ouiya koluk lun mwet matu lal somla.
