< 2 Kings 23 >

1 And they reported to the king what she had said. And he sent, and all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem were gathered to him.
Siangpahrang ni tami a patoun teh, Judah hoi Jerusalem kacuenaw ka kamkhueng awh.
2 And the king ascended to the temple of the Lord. And with him were all the men of Judah and all who were living in Jerusalem: the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, from the small to the great. And in the hearing of everyone, he read all the words of the book of the covenant, which was found in the house of the Lord.
Siangpahrang teh Judah ram e tami pueng hoi Jerusalem kaawm e pueng hoi, vaihma hoi profetnaw hoi tami kathoung kalen pueng hoi BAWIPA e im lah a cei awh teh, BAWIPA im dawk a hmu awh e a lawkkamnae cauk dawk kaawm e pueng ahnimae hmalah koung ka thai lah a touk pouh.
3 And the king stood upon the step. And he struck a covenant before the Lord, so that they would walk after the Lord, and keep his precepts and testimonies and ceremonies, with all their heart and with all their soul, and so that they would carry out the words of this covenant, which had been written in that book. And the people agreed to the covenant.
Siangpahrang ni khomkung koe a kangdue teh cauk dawk kaawm e lawkkamnae lawk hah, caksak hane hoi lungthin abuemlahoi muitha abuemlahoi BAWIPA tarawi hane kâpoelawk poe e hoi, a panuesaknaenaw, hoi phunglawknaw tarawi hanelah BAWIPA hmalah a lawk a kam. Tami pueng ni lawkkamnae a caksak awh.
4 And the king instructed Hilkiah, the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, so that they would cast out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels which had been made for Baal, and for the sacred grove, and for the entire army of heaven. And he burned them outside of Jerusalem, in the steep valley of Kidron. And he carried their dust into Bethel.
Vaihma kacue Hilkiah hoi kadounkung vaihmanaw hoi takhang karingkungnaw hah BAWIPA im thung e Baal hoi Asherah hoi kalvan kaawm e hnonaw hanelah a sak e hnopai pueng a tâcokhai hanelah kâ a poe. Jerusalem alawilah Kidron kahrawngum vah hmai a sawi teh hraba hah Bethel lah a ceikhai.
5 And he destroyed the soothsayers, whom the kings of Judah had appointed to sacrifice in the high places throughout the cities of Judah, and all around Jerusalem, along with those who were burning incense to Baal, and to the Sun, and to the Moon, and to the twelve signs, and to the entire army of heaven.
Meikaphawk ka bawk e vaihma, Judah siangpahrangnaw ni Judah ram khonaw hmuenrasangnaw hoi Jerusalem tengpam e hmuitui kasawinaw hah a pahnawt awh teh, Baal, kanî, thapa, âsi hane hoi kalvan kaawm e pueng hane hmuitui hmai ouk kasawinaw hah a pahnawt awh.
6 And he caused the sacred grove to be carried away from the house of the Lord, outside of Jerusalem, to the steep valley of Kidron. And he burned it there, and reduced it to dust. And he cast the dust over the graves of the common people.
BAWIPA im dawk thing hoi meikaphawk hah Jerusalem kho lawilah Kirdron palang vah a ceikhai awh teh, Kirdron palang dawk hmai a sawi awh. Kanuikapin lah a hruek awh teh kanuikapinnaw hah mathoenaw e tangkom dawk a pasa awh.
7 Also, he destroyed the small places of the effeminate, which were in the house of the Lord, for which the women were weaving something like little houses in the sacred grove.
Hahoi thing meikaphawk, hni kakawngkung napuinaw a onae hoi BAWIPA im napuitongpanaw onae imnaw a raphoe awh.
8 And he gathered together all the priests from the cities of Judah. And he defiled the high places, where the priests were sacrificing, from Geba as far as Beersheba. And he tore down the altars of the gates at the entrance to the gate of Joshua, the leader of the city, which was to the left of the gate of the city.
Vaihma pueng Judah khonaw koehoi a kaw sak awh teh, ahnimouh ni hmuitui hmaisawinae hmuenrasangnaw hah Geba hoi Beersheba totouh a khin sak awh teh, Jerusalem e khobawi Joshua e longkha avoilae kâennae longkha pueng be a raphoe awh.
9 Yet truly, the priests of the high places did not ascend to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem. For they would only eat from the unleavened bread in the midst of their brothers.
Hmuenrasang koe e vaihmanaw hah Jerusalem BAWIPA thuengnae khoungroe koe cet awh hoeh ei teh, a hmaunawnghanaw koe tonphuenhoehe ouk a ca awh.
10 Also, he defiled Topheth, which is in the steep valley of the son of Hinnom, so that no one would consecrate his son or his daughter, through fire, to Molech.
Apinihai amamae a canaw hah Molek cathut koe hmai hoi a thueng awh hoeh nahan, Hinnom e a ca tanghling dawk kaawm e Topheth hai a khin sak awh.
11 Also, he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the Sun, at the entrance to the temple of the Lord, beside the hallway of Nathan-melech, the eunuch, who was in Pharurim. And he burned the chariots of the Sun with fire.
BAWIPA im alawilae siangpahrang karingkung Nathan Molek im teng e Judah siangpahrangnaw ni kanî koe a poe awh e marangnaw hah he a takhoe pouh teh, kanî rangleng hah hmai koung a sawi awh.
12 Also, the altars which were upon the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the temple of the Lord, the king destroyed. And he hurried from there, and he scattered their ashes into the torrent Kidron.
Ahaz im a tungtengtoe e dawk a hruek e khoungroenaw hoi Manasseh ni BAWIPA im thongma kahni touh koe a sak e khoungroenaw hah siangpahrang ni he a raphoe teh Kidron palang dawkvah a tâkhawng.
13 Also, the high places which were in Jerusalem, to the right side of the Mount of Offense, which Solomon, the king of Israel, had built to Ashtoreth, the idol of the Sidonians, and to Chemosh, the offense of Moab, and to Milcom, the abomination of the sons of Ammon, the king defiled.
Isarel siangpahrang Solomon ni, Jerusalem kanîtholah a raphoe e aranglae mon dawk panuettho e Sidon cathut Ashtoreth, panuettho e Moab cathut, Kemosh thoseh panuettho e Ammon cathut Milkom hanelah a hmuenrasangnaw hah siangpahrang ni a khin sak.
14 And he crushed the statues, and he cut down the sacred groves. And he filled their places with the bones of the dead.
Meikaphawknaw hah rekrek a hem teh, thing meikaphawknaw be a tâtueng hnukkhu, hote hmuen koe tami hrunaw hoi akawi sak.
15 Then too, the altar which was in Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, had made: both that altar and the high place he tore down, and burned, and reduced to dust. And then he also set fire to the sacred grove.
Hothloilah Isarel ka payon sakkung Nebat capa Jeroboam ni Bethel vah khoungroe hoi a hmuenrasangnaw hoi khoungroe hai a raphoe pouh. Hmuenrasang hmai a sawi teh kanuikapin lah koung a hruek teh thingmeikaphawk hai hmai a sawi.
16 And in that place Josiah, turning, saw the sepulchers which were on the mount. And he sent and took the bones from the sepulchers. And he burned them upon the altar, and he defiled it in accord with the word of the Lord, which was spoken by the man of God, who had predicted these events.
Josiah teh a kamlang teh mon dawk e phuen hah a hmu, hottelah phuen e tami hrunaw hah a la sak teh, Cathut e tami ni a pâpho e BAWIPA e lawk patetlah khoungroe dawk hmai a sawi teh, a khin sak.
17 And he said, “What is that monument that I see?” And the citizens of that city responded to him: “It is the sepulcher of the man of God, who came from Judah, and who predicted these events, which you have carried out concerning the altar of Bethel.”
Josiah ni hai kai ni ka hmu e noutnae talung teh, apie phuen namaw telah ati. Cathut e tami Judah ram lahoi ka tho e Bethel vah khoungroe dawk na sak e hno ka pâpho e phuen doeh telah a dei awh.
18 And he said: “Permit him. Let no one move his bones.” And his bones have remained untouched, with the bones of the prophet who had arrived from Samaria.
Siangpahrang ni apinihai a hru hah puen hanh naseh, ahnie a hrunaw hah Samaria lahoi ka tho e profetnaw e a hrunaw hoi kâbet hoeh.
19 Then too, all the shrines of the high places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord, Josiah took away. And he acted toward them according to all the works that he had done in Bethel.
Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA lungkhuek sak awh teh, a sak awh e Samaria ram dawk e hmuenrasangnaw pueng Josiah ni koung a takhoe teh, Bethel vah a sak e patetlah a sak pouh.
20 And all the priests of the high places, who were in that place, he killed upon the altars. And he burned the bones of the men upon them. And he returned to Jerusalem.
Hottelah haw e hmuenrasang e vaihmanaw pueng hah khoungroe van a thei teh, haw vah tami hru a pâeng teh Jerusalem lah bout a ban.
21 And he instructed all the people, saying: “Keep the Passover to the Lord your God, according to what has been written in the book of this covenant.”
Hahoi siangpahrang ni tami pueng koe, hete lawkkamnae cauk dawk kaawm e patetlah BAWIPA, nangmae Cathut hanlah ceitakhai pawito awh telah kâ a poe.
22 Now no similar Passover was kept, from the days of the judges, who judged Israel, and from all the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah,
Isarel lawkcengkungnaw ni lawk a ceng totouh hoi, Isarel siangpahrangnaw ni a uknae thung pueng hoi, Judah siangpahrang ni a uknae thung pueng haiyah ceitakhai pawito awh boihoeh.
23 as this Passover, which was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem, in the eighteenth year of king Josiah.
Josiah siangpahrang a bawinae kum 18 navah, hote ceitakhai pawi teh Jerusalem vah BAWIPA hanelah a tawn awh lah ao.
24 Then too, Josiah took away those who divined by spirits, and the soothsayers, and the images of the idols, and the defilements, and the abominations, which had been in the land of Judah and Jerusalem, so that he might establish the words of the law, which were written in the book, which Hilkiah, the priest, found in the temple of the Lord.
BAWIPA im dawk e vaihma Hilkiah ni, a hmu e cauk dawkvah kâlawk hah caksak nahanelah, kahraithawtawknae hoi taânsinnae hoi, meikaphawk hoi, cathut meikaphawknaw, Judah ram hoi Isarel kho e hno panuettho a hmu awh e pueng hah Josiah ni koung a raphoe.
25 There was no king before him similar to him, who returned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, in accord with the entire law of Moses. And after him, there rose up no one similar to him.
Mosi e kâlawk pueng patetlah lungthin abuemlah, muitha hoi thaonae abuemlahoi BAWIPA koe lah a kamlang teh, ahni patetlah ahni hoehnahlan siangpahrang apihai awm hoeh. Ahni hnukkhu hai ahni patetlah apihai awm mahoeh toe.
26 Yet truly, the Lord did not turn away from the wrath of his great fury, his fury which was enraged against Judah because of the provocations by which Manasseh had provoked him.
Hatei, BAWIPA ni puenghoi a lungkhueknae Manasseh ni a lungkhueksaknae naw pueng kecu dawkvah, Judahnaw taranlahoi kâan e a lungkhueknae hmai teh, roum thai kalawn hoeh.
27 And so the Lord said: “And now I will remove Judah from my face, just as I removed Israel. And I will cast aside this city, Jerusalem, which I have chosen, and the house, about which I said: My name shall be there.”
BAWIPA ni Isarel ka puen e patetlah Judah hai ka hmuhoehnae koe ka puen van han. Hete ka rawi e Jerusalem roeroe haiyah, haw vah ka min ao han ka tie im hah ka puen han, telah a ti.
28 Now the rest of the words of Josiah, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
Hottelah Josiah tawksaknae thung dawk kaawm rae naw hoi, a tawk pueng teh Judah siangpahrangnaw setouknae cauk dawk a kâ thut mahoeh maw.
29 During his days, Pharaoh Neco, the king of Egypt, ascended against the king of the Assyrians to the river Euphrates. And king Josiah went out to meet him. And when he had seen him, he was killed at Megiddo.
Siangpahrang lah ao navah, Izip siangpahrang Faro Neko teh, Assiria siangpahrang tuk hanelah, Euphrates palang vah a ceitakhang. Siangpahrang Josiah ni ahni a tuk teh ahnimouh ni ahni teh a hmu awh tahma vah, Megiddo vah a thei awh.
30 And his servants carried him dead from Megiddo. And they took him to Jerusalem, and they buried him in his own sepulcher. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah. And they anointed him, and made him king in place of his father.
A taminaw ni Megiddo hoi a ro hah rangleng hoi a ceikhai awh teh, Jerusalem vah a kâenkhai awh teh amae tangkom dawk a pakawp awh. Hottelah hote khonaw ni Josiah capa Jehoahaz teh a ceikhai awh teh, satui a awi awh teh, a na pa yueng lah a bawi sak awh.
31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.
Jehoahaz teh siangpahrang a tawk navah, kum 23 touh a pha. Jerusalem vah thapa yung thum touh a bawi. A manu min teh Hamutal, Libnah kho e Jeremiah canu doeh.
32 And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
A na mintoenaw ni ouk a sak awh e patetlah BAWIPA mithmu vah thoenae hah ouk a sak.
33 And Pharaoh Neco bound him at Riblah, which is in the land of Hamath, so that he would not reign in Jerusalem. And he imposed a penalty on the land: one hundred talents of silver, and one talent of gold.
Faro Neko ni hote siangpahrang Jerusalem kho a uk thai hoeh nahanelah, Hamath ram e Riblah kho vah thongim a pabo. Hahoi Judah ram vah a pabo. Hahoi Judah ram vah ngun talen 100 touh hoi sui talen buet touh imhu a cawng sak.
34 And Pharaoh Neco appointed Eliakim, the son of Josiah, as king in place of Josiah his father. And he changed his name to Jehoiakim. Then he took Jehoahaz away, and he brought him into Egypt, and there he died.
Hahoi Faro Neko ni Josiah capa ELiakim hah a na pa Josiah yueng lah a bawi sak. A min hah Jehoiakim telah a thung pouh. Jehoiahaz teh Izip vah a ceikhai awh teh haw vah a due.
35 Now Jehoiakim gave silver and gold to Pharaoh, when he had taxed the land, according to each one who would contribute by the command of Pharaoh. And he exacted both silver and gold from the people of the land, from each one according to his ability, so that he would give to Pharaoh Neco.
Jehoiakim ni Faro hah ngun tangka hoi sui a poe teh, ahnimae ram teh Faro ni kâ a poe e patetlah tangka lah poe hane tamuk a cawng van. Faro Neko koe poe hanlah, tami pueng rawng hanelah a khoe pouh e patetlah hote ram thung e khocanaw hah sui hoi tangka a rawng sak awh.
36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebidah, the daughter of Pedaiah, from Rumah.
Jehoiakim teh siangpahrang a tawk navah, kum 25 touh a pha. Jerusalem vah kum 11 touh a bawi. A manu min teh Zebudah Ramah kho e Pedaiah canu doeh.
37 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his fathers had done.
Hahoi a na mintoenaw ni a sak awh e patetlah BAWIPA mithmu vah thoenae hah a sak.
