Kings IV 23
1 So they reported the word to the king: and the king sent and gathered all the elders of Juda and Jerusalem to himself.
Te vaengah manghai loh a tah dongah Judah neh Jerusalem kah a ham boeih te anih taengla tingtun uh.
2 And the king went up to the house of the Lord, and every man of Juda and all who dwelt in Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people small and great; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the Lord.
Manghai neh Judah hlang boeih, a taengkah Jerusalem khosa boeih, khosoih rhoek neh tonghma rhoek khaw, pilnam cungkuem tanoe lamloh kangham hil khaw BOEIPA im la cet tih BOEIPA im kah a hmuh paipi cabu dongkah ol boeih te amih hna ah a doek pah.
3 And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his ordinances with all the heart and with all the soul, to confirm the words of this covenant; [even] the things written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
Te vaengah manghai te tung taengah pai tih BOEIPA hnukah pongpa ham, a olpaek neh a olphong neh, a khosing te lungbuei boeih neh hinglu boeih neh tuem ham khaw, te cabu dongah a daek paipi ol te thoh ham khaw BOEIPA mikhmuh ah paipi te a saii. Te dongah pilnam cungkuem loh paipi te a pai puei.
4 And the king commanded Chelcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and them that kept the door, to bring out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and all the host of heaven, and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kedron, and took the ashes of them to Baethel.
Te phoeiah manghai loh khosoih boei Hilkiah neh hnukthoi khosoih rhoek khaw, cingkhaa aka hung rhoek khaw, Baal ham neh Asherah ham, vaan caempuei cungkuem ham a saii hnopai cungkuem te BOEIPA bawkim lamloh khoe ham a uen. Te dongah te rhoek te Jerusalem vongvoel kah Kidron lohmali ah a hoeh tih a hloi te Bethel la a phueih.
5 And he burned the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Juda [had] appointed, (and they burned incense in the high places and in the cities of Juda, and the places around about Jerusalem); and them that burned incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to Mazuroth, and to all the host of heaven.
Te vaengah Judah manghai rhoek kah a khueh mueirhol khosoih rhoek khaw, Judah khopuei rhoek kah hmuensang neh Jerusalem phai ah aka phum te khaw, Baal taengah, khomik taeng neh hla taengah, aisi taeng neh vaan caempuei cungkuem taengah aka phum rhoek te khaw a paa sak.
6 And he carried out the grove from the house of the Lord to the brook Kedron, and burned it at the brook Kedron, and reduced it to powder, and cast its powder on the sepulchres of the sons of the people.
Asherah te BOEIPA im lamloh Jerusalem vongvoel kah Kidron soklong la a khuen. Te te Kidron soklong ah a hoeh tih laipi la a tip sak. Te phoeiah a hloi te pilnam paca kah phuel ah a hawk.
7 And he pulled down the house of the sodomites that were by the house of the Lord, where the women wove tents for the grove.
BOEIPA im kah hlanghalh im te khaw a palet pah. Te ah te huta rhoek loh Asherah ham im a tah uh.
8 And he brought up all the priest from the cities of Juda, and defiled the high places where the priests burned incense, from Gaebal even to Bersabee; and he pulled down the house of the gates that was by the door of the gate of Joshua the ruler of the city, on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.
Khosoih boeih te Judah khopuei lamloh a khuen tih khosoih rhoek loh hnap a phum thil hmuensang te Geba lamloh Beersheba duela a poeih pah. Khopuei mangpa Joshua vongka thohka kah vongka hmuensang te khaw a palet. Te te khopuei vongka kah banvoei ah rhip om.
9 Only the priests of the high places went not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, for they only ate leavened bread in the midst of their brethren.
Hmuensang khosoih rhoek te Jerusalem ah BOEIPA hmueihtuk taengla mop uh pawt sitoe cakhaw a manuca lakli ah vaidamding a caak uh.
10 And he defiled Tapheth which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, [constructed] for a man to cause his son or his daughter to pass through fire to Moloch.
Hlang loh a capa khaw, a canu khaw hmai dong lamloh Molek taengla kat sak pawt ham kolrhawk, kolrhawk kah Topheth te khaw a poeih pah.
11 And he burned the horses which the king of Juda had given to the sun in the entrance of the house of the Lord, by the treasury of Nathan the king's eunuch, in the suburbs; and he burned the chariot of the sun with fire.
Judah manghai rhoek loh khomik taengla a nawn tih BOEIPA im kah a kun lamloh imkhoem Nathanmelek imkhan kaep kah imhlai laklo hil a khueh marhang te khaw a paa sak. Khomik leng te khaw hmai ah a hoeh.
12 And the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, did the king pull down and forcibly remove from thence, and cast their dust into the brook of Kedron.
Judah manghai rhoek loh a saii Ahaz imhman, imphu sokah hmueihtuk rhoek khaw, Manasseh loh BOEIPA im vongup rhoi khuiah a khueh hmueihtuk te khaw manghai loh a palet. Te phoeiah te lamloh yong tih a hloi te Kidron soklong la a voeih.
13 And the king defiled the house that was before Jerusalem, on the right hand of the mount of Mosthath, which Solomon king of Israel built to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the abomination of Moab, and to Moloch the abomination of the children of Ammon.
Hmuensang te Jerusalem imdan kah khaw, kutcaihnah tlang kah bantang ah khaw Israel manghai Solomon loh Sidoni kah sarhingkoi Ashtoreth ham, Moab kah sarhingkoi Khemosh ham, Ammon koca rhoek kah tueilaehkoi Milkom ham a sak pah te khaw manghai loh a poeih pah.
14 And he broke in pieces the pillars, and utterly destroyed the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
Kaam te a phaek tih Asherah te a top pah phoeiah tah a hmuen te hlang rhuh a bae sak.
15 Also the high altar in Baethel, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that high altar he tore down, and broke in pieces the stones of it, and reduced it to powder, and burnt the grove.
Bethel kah hmueihtuk te khaw, Israel aka tholh sak Nebat capa Jeroboam loh a saii hmuensang te khaw, te kah hmueihtuk neh hmuensang te khaw a palet tih a hoeh. Hmuensang te laipi la a tip sak tih Asherah te a hoeh pah.
16 And Josias turned aside, and saw the tombs that were there in the city, and sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burnt them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the Lord which the man of God spoke, when Jeroboam stood by the altar at the feast: and he turned and raised his eyes to the tomb of the man of God that spoke these words.
Josiah te a mael vaengah phuel te tlang ah hnap a hmuh. Te dongah hlang a tueih tih phuel lamkah a rhuh te a poh sak. Te phoeiah hmueihtuk soah a hoeh tih BOEIPA ol bangla a poeih. Pathen kah hlang loh a doek vaengah te kah ol te a doek coeng.
17 And he said, What [is] that mound which I see? And the men of the city said to him, [It is the grave of] the man of God that came out of Juda, and uttered these imprecations which he imprecated upon the altar of Baethel.
Te vaengah, “Bang pangkae nim ka hmuh he?” a ti. Te dongah khopuei hlang rhoek loh a taengah, “Pathen hlang kah phuel ni. Anih he Judah lamkah ha pawk tih Bethel hmueihtuk ah na saii hno te a doek,” a ti na uh.
18 And he said, Let him alone; let no one disturb his bones. So his bones were spared, together with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
Tedae, “Anih te om saeh, hlang loh a rhuh thaih boel saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Samaria lamkah aka pawk tonghma rhuh tah amah rhuh bangla a khueh.
19 Moreover Josias removed all the houses of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel made to provoke the Lord, and did to them all that he did in Baethel.
Samaria khopuei rhoek ah BOEIPA veet hamla Israel manghai rhoek loh a sak hmuensang im boeih te khaw Josiah loh a khoe. Te rhoek te Bethel ah a saii bangla khoboe cungkuem neh a saii.
20 And he sacrificed all the priests of the high places that were there on the altars, and burnt the bones of men upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.
Hmuensang khosoih boeih te hmueihtuk dongah pahoi ngawn tih hlang rhuh te a soah a hoeh daengah Jerusalem la mael.
21 And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover to the Lord your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
Te phoeiah manghai loh pilnam pum te a uen tih, “He paipi cabu khuiah a daek bangla na Pathen BOEIPA ham Yoom saii uh.
22 For a passover [such as] this had not been kept from the days of the judges who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda.
Laitloek rhoek loh Israel lai a tloek tue lamkah te Israel manghai rhoek neh Judah manghai rhoek tue boeih ah khaw hekah Yoom bang he a saii uh moenih.
23 But in the eighteenth year of king Josias, was the passover kept to the Lord in Jerusalem.
Tedae manghai Josiah kah kum hlai rhet daengah ni Yoom he BOEIPA ham Jerusalem ah a saii pueng.
24 Moreover Josias removed the sorcerers, and the wizards, and the theraphin, and the idols, and all the abominations that had been set up in the land of Juda and in Jerusalem, that he might keep the words of the law that were written in the book, which Chelcias the priest found in the house of the Lord.
BOEIPA im ah khosoih Hilkiah loh a hmuh cabu khuiah a daek olkhueng ol te thoh hamla Josiah loh rhaitonghma neh hnam khaw, sithui neh mueirhol khaw, Judah khohmuen khui neh Jerusalem kah a hmuh sarhingkoi cungkuem te khaw boeih a hoeh.
25 There was no king like him before 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; and after him there rose not one like him.
Anih bangla BOEIPA taengah a thinko boeih, a hinglu boeih, a thadueng boeih neh aka mael manghai he anih hlan ah a om noek moenih. Anih bangla Moses kah olkhueng cungkuem dongah aka pongpa khaw anih hnukah a phoe bal moenih.
26 Nevertheless the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his great anger, wherewith he was wroth in his anger against Juda, because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses provoked him.
Tedae BOEIPA kah a thintoek thinsa puei te a mael moenih. Manasseh loh anih a veet vanbangla konoinah cungkuem dongah a thintoek loh Judah a sai thil pueng.
27 And the Lord said, I will also remove Juda from my presence, as I removed Israel, and will reject this city which I have chosen [even] Jerusalem, and the house [of] which I said, My name shall be there.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Judah te khaw ka mikhmuh lamloh Israel ka khoe bangla ka khoe ni. Jerusalem he ka coelh tih im he khaw kamah ming la pahoi om saeh ka ti vanbangla hekah khopuei he ka hnawt ni,” a ti.
28 And the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Josiah kah ol noi neh a saii boeih te khaw Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
29 And in his days went up Pharao Nechao king of Egypt against the king of the Assyrians to the river Euphrates: and Josias went out to meet him: and Nechao slew him in Mageddo when he saw him.
Anih tue vaengah Egypt manghai Pharaoh Neko te Assyria manghai taengah Perath tuiva la cet. Te dongah manghai Josiah te anih mah hamla cet dae Megiddo ah anih te a hmuh vaengah anih te a duek sak.
30 And his servants carried him dead from Mageddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre: and the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and anointed him, and made him king in the room of his father.
Te dongah a sal rhoek loh a duek rhok te a tloeng uh tih Megiddo lamloh Jerusalem la a khuen uh. Te phoeiah anih te amah phuel ah a up uh. Te vaengah khohmuen pilnam loh Josiah capa Jehoahaz te a loh tih a koelh uh phoeiah anih te a napa yueng la a manghai sakuh.
31 Twenty and three years old was Joachaz when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Amital, daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.
Jehoahaz he kum kul kum thum a lo ca vaegah manghai tih Jerusalem ah hla thum manghai. A manu ming tah Libnah lamkah Jeremiah canu Hamutal ni.
32 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers did.
A napa rhoek kah a cungkuem a saii bangla BOEIPA mik ah boethae a saii.
33 And Pharao Nechao removed him to Rablaam in the land of Emath, so that he should not reign in Jerusalem; and imposed a tribute on the land, a hundred talents of silver, and a hundred talents of gold.
Anih te Pharaoh Neko loh Khamath khohmuen kah Riblah ah a khoh. Jerusalem ah a manghai tah a manghai sak dae khohmuen kah cawn la cak talent yakhat neh sui talent khat te a thoh sak.
34 And Pharao Nechao made Eliakim son of Josias king of Juda king over them in the place of his father Josias, and he changed his name [to] Joakim, and he took Joachaz and brought him to Egypt, and he died there.
Pharaoh Neko loh Josiah capa Eliakim te a napa Josiah yueng la a manghai sak tih a ming te Jehoiakim la a hoi pah. Tedae Jehoahaz loh a loh tih Egypt la a khuen vaengah pahoi duek.
35 And Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao; but he assessed the land to give the money at the command of Pharao: they gave the silver and the gold [each] man according to his assessment together with the people of the land to give to Pharao Nechao.
Cak neh sui khaw Jehoiakim loh Pharaoh taengla a paek. Te phoeiah Pharaoh kah kueknah bangla cak te paek ham khohmuen te a kawt. Pharaoh Neko taengah paek hamla khohmuen pilnam kah tangka neh sui mai a phu bangla hlang taengah lai a suk.
36 Twenty-five years old [was] Joakim when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Jeldaph, daughter of Phadail of Ruma.
Jehoiakim he kum kul kum nga a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum hlai khat manghai. A manu ming Zebidah he khaw Rumah lamkah Pedaiah canu Zebidah ni.
37 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
Tedae a napa rhoek kah a saii bangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae cungkuem te a saii.
