2 Chronicles 34
1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
Yosiyaas yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa saddeetii ture; Yerusaalem keessa taaʼees waggaa soddomii tokko bulche.
2 And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the ways of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand nor to the left.
Inni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan qajeelaa ni hojjete; utuu mirgatti yookaan bitaatti hin gorinis karaa abbaa isaa Daawit irra deeme.
3 And in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherahs, and the graven images, and the molten images.
Inni mootii taʼee waggaa saddeettaffaatti utuma umurii dargaggummaa keessa jiruu Waaqa abbaa isaa Daawit barbaaduu jalqabe. Waggaa kudha lammaffaatti immoo Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem keessaa iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa, siidaawwan Aasheeraa, waaqota tolfamoo fi fakkiiwwan baqfamanii tolfaman ni balleesse.
4 And they broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; and the sun-pillars that were on high above them he cut down; and the Asherahs and the graven images and the molten images he broke in pieces, and made dust [of them] and strewed it upon the graves of those that had sacrificed to them;
Qajeelfama isaatiinis iddoowwan aarsaa Baʼaal diigaman; iddoowwan aarsaa ixaanaa kanneen achi irra turan caccabsee siidaawwan Aasheeraa, waaqota tolfamoo fi fakkiiwwan hurreesse. Wantoota kanneenis daakee bulleessee awwaala warra isaaniif aarsaa dhiʼeessaa turanii irratti bittinneesse.
5 and he burned the bones of the priests upon their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
Lafee lubootaas iddoowwan aarsaa isaanii irratti guggube. Haala kanaanis Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalemin qulqulleesse.
6 And [so did he] in the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even to Naphtali, in their ruins round about;
Magaalaawwan Minaasee, kan Efreemii fi Simiʼoon kanneen hamma Niftaalemitti jiranii fi akkasumas diigamaa naannoowwan isaanii keessatti
7 and he broke down the altars, and beat the Asherahs and the graven images into powder, and cut down all the sun-pillars throughout the land of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem.
iddoowwan aarsaa fi siidaawwan Aasheeraa ni jijjigse; waaqota tolfamoo daaraa godhe; iddoowwan aarsaa ixaanaa kanneen guutummaa Israaʼel keessa jiran hundas ni caccabse. Ergasiis Yerusaalemitti deebiʼe.
8 And in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the chronicler, to repair the house of Jehovah his God.
Yosiyaas mootii taʼee waggaa kudha saddeettaffaatti erga biyyattii fi mana qulqullummaa qulqulleessee booddee mana Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa haaromsuuf Shaafaan ilma Azaliyaa, Maʼaseyaa bulchaa magaalaa fi Yooʼaa ilma Yooʼaahaaz galmeessaa sana erge.
9 And they came to Hilkijah the high priest, and they delivered [to them] the money that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Isaanis gara Hilqiyaa lubicha ol aanaa dhaqanii maallaqa mana qulqullummaa Waaqaatiif fidame sana itti kennan; maallaqa kanas Lewwota balbala eegantu saboota Minaasee irraa, kan Efreem irraa, hambaawwan Israaʼel hunda irraa, saba Yihuudaa fi kan Beniyaam hunda irraa akkasumas jiraattota Yerusaalem irraa walitti qabe.
10 And they gave [it] into the hand of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of Jehovah; and they gave it to the workmen who wrought in the house of Jehovah to reinstate and repair the house:
Isaanis maallaqa sana namoota akka hojii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo toʼataniif muudamanitti imaanaa kennan. Namoonni kunneenis hojjettoota mana qulqullummaa haaromsanii akka duriitti deebisaniif ni kaffalu.
11 they gave [it] to the carpenters and the builders, to buy hewn stone, and timber for the joists, and to floor the houses that the kings of Judah had destroyed.
Akkasumas akka isaan ijaarsa mootonni Yihuudaa akka diigamu godhan sanaaf dhagaa soofame, laaxaawwan, mukkeen sutaa fi dareeraawwan bitaniif ogeeyyii mukaa fi ijaartotatti maallaqa kennan.
12 And the men did the work faithfully. And over them were appointed Jahath and Obadiah, Levites, of the children of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the children of the Kohathites, for the oversight; and all these Levites were skilled in instruments of music.
Namoonni sunis amanamummaadhaan hojicha hojjetan. Lewwota sanyii Meraarii keessaa Yahaatii fi Obaadiyaan akkasumas sanyii Qohaati keessaa Zakkaariyaasii fi Meshulaam akka jara sana hojjechiisaniif isaan irratti muudaman. Lewwonni meeshaa faarfannaa taphachuu beekan hundis
13 They were also over the bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that worked in any manner of service. And of the Levites were the scribes, and officers, and doorkeepers.
itti gaafatamtoota hojjettoota hojii humnaa taʼanii hojjettoota hojii garaa garaa illee toʼachaa turan. Lewwonni tokko tokkos barreessitoota, qondaaltotaa fi eegdota balbalaa turan.
14 And when they brought out the money that had been brought into the house of Jehovah, Hilkijah the priest found the book of the law of Jehovah by Moses.
Utuma isaan maallaqa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti galfame sana baasaa jiranuu Hilqiyaa lubichi Kitaaba Seera Waaqayyoo kan karaa Museetiin kenname sana arge.
15 Then Hilkijah spoke and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of Jehovah. And Hilkijah gave the book to Shaphan.
Hilqiyaanis Shaafaan barreessaa sanaan, “Ani mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti Kitaaba Seeraa argeen jira” jedhe; kitaabichas Shaafaanitti kenne.
16 And Shaphan carried the book to the king. And moreover he brought the king word again saying, All that was committed to the hand of thy servants, they do;
Shaafaanis kitaabicha fuudhee mootichatti geessee akkana jedhe; “Qondaaltonni kee waan ajajaman hunda hojjechaa jiru.
17 and they have emptied out the money that was found in the house of Jehovah, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of the workmen.
Maallaqa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa tures baasanii namoota hojii toʼatanii fi hojjettootatti imaanaa kennaniiru.”
18 And Shaphan the scribe informed the king saying, Hilkijah the priest has given me a book. And Shaphan read out of it before the king.
Kana irrattis Shaafaan barreessaan sun, “Hilqiyaa lubichi kitaaba tokko natti kenneera” jedhee mootichatti hime. Shaafaanis fuula mootichaa duratti kitaaba sana dubbise.
19 And it came to pass when the king heard the words of the law, that he rent his garments.
Mootichis yommuu dubbii Seeraa sana dhagaʼetti uffata isaa tarsaase.
20 And the king commanded Hilkijah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king, saying,
Innis ajaja kana Hilqiyaatti, Ahiiqaam ilma Shaafaanitti, Abdoon ilma Miikaatti, Shaafaan barreessichaa fi Asaayaa tajaajilaa mootichaatti ni kenne:
21 Go, inquire of Jehovah for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book which is found; for great is the wrath of Jehovah that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of Jehovah, to do according to all that is written in this book.
“Dhaqaatii waaʼee waan kitaaba argame kana keessatti barreeffamee anaaf, hambaawwan Israaʼel keessaatii fi Yihuudaatiif Waaqayyoon gaafadhaa. Sababii warri nuun duraa dubbii Waaqayyoo hin eeginiif dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo guddaan nutti dhangalaʼeera; isaan akka waan kitaaba kana keessatti barreeffame sana hundaatti hin jiraanneetii.”
22 And Hilkijah and they that the king [had appointed] went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokehath, son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe: now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter [of the town]; and they spoke with her to that effect.
Hilqiyaa fi warri mootichi isa wajjin erge sun gara Huldaanaa raajittii jechuunis niitii Shaluum ilma Toqeʼaati, ilma Hasraat kan eegduu mana uffataa turte sanatti himuu dhaqan. Isheenis Yerusaalem keessa aanaa lammaffaa keessa jiraatti turte.
23 And she said to them, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Tell the man that sent you to me,
Isheenis akkana isaaniin jette; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Namicha natti isin erge sanatti akkana jedhaa himaa;
24 Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah.
‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ani iddoo kanaa fi saba isaatti badiisa jechuunis abaarsa kitaaba fuula mootii Yihuudaa duratti dubbifame sana keessatti barreeffame hunda nan fida.
25 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my fury shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.
Sababii isaan na dhiisanii waaqota biraatiif ixaana aarsuudhaan waan harki isaanii tolche hundaan dheekkamsaaf na kakaasaniif dheekkamsi koo iddoo kana irratti ni dhangalaʼa; hin dhaamus.’
26 But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Jehovah, thus shall ye say to him: Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel touching the words which thou hast heard:
Mootii Yihuudaa kan akka isin Waaqayyoon gaafattaniif isin erge sanatti akkana jedhaatii himaa; ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel waaʼee dubbii ati dhageesse sanaa akkana jedha:
27 Because thy heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy garments and weep before me, I also have heard [thee], saith Jehovah.
Sababii ati yeroo waan inni waaʼee iddoo kanaatii fi waaʼee saba isaa waan hamaa dubbate dhageessetti garaan kee tuqamee fuula Waaqaa duratti gad of qabdeef, sababii ati fuula koo duratti gad of qabdee, uffata kee tarsaaftee boosseef ani si dhagaʼeera, jedha Waaqayyo.
28 Behold, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof. And they brought the king word again.
Ani amma abbootii kee biratti walittin si qaba; atis nagumaan awwaalamta. Waan hamaa ani iddoo kanaa fi warra as jiraatanitti fiduuf jiru hunda iji kee hin argu.’” Isaanis deebii ishee fudhatanii gara mootichaatti deebiʼan.
29 And the king sent and gathered all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
Ergasiis mootichi maanguddoota Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem hunda walitti ni waame.
30 And the king went up into the house of Jehovah, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests and the Levites, and all the people, great and small; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which had been found in the house of Jehovah.
Innis namoota Yihuudaa, jiraattota Yerusaalem, lubootaa fi Lewwota wajjin jechuunis nama xinnaa fi guddaa hunda wajjin gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ol baʼe. Dubbii Kitaaba Kakuu kan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti argame sanaa hundas akka isaan dhagaʼanitti dubbiseef.
31 And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all his heart and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that are written in this book.
Mootichis utubaa isaa bira dhaabatee akka Waaqayyoon duukaa buʼu, akka garaa isaa guutuu fi lubbuu isaa guutuudhaan ajaja isaa, dambiiwwan isaatii fi labsiiwwan isaa eegee, dubbiiwwan kakuu kanneen kitaaba kana keessatti barreeffamaniifis akka ajajamu fuula Waaqayyoo duratti kakuu ni haaromse.
32 And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand [to it]. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
Ergasiis akka namni Yerusaalemii fi Beniyaam keessa jiraatu hundi kakuu galu ni godhe; namoonni Yerusaalemis akkuma kakuu Waaqaa jechuunis Waaqa abbootii isaaniitti waan kana ni godhan.
33 And Josiah removed all the abominations out of all the countries that belonged to the children of Israel, and made to serve all that were found in Israel, — to serve Jehovah their God: all his days they did not depart from following Jehovah, the God of their fathers.
Yosiyaasis guutummaa biyya Israaʼel keessaa waaqota jibbisiisoo ni balleesse; akka warri Israaʼel keessa jiran hundinuus Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii waaqeffatan ni godhe. Isaan hamma inni lubbuun jiraatetti Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaanii duukaa buʼuu irraa duubatti hin deebine.
