2 Kings 22
1 Josias was eight years old when he began to reign: he reigned one and thirty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Idida, the daughter of Hadaia, of Besecath.
Valo taona Josia, fony vao nanjaka, ary iraika amby telo-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Jedida, zanakavavin’ i Adaia, avy any Bozkata.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the ways of David his father: he turned not aside to the right hand, or to the left.
Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah kosa izy ka nandeha tamin’ izay rehetra nalehan’ i Davida rainy, fa tsy mba nivily, na ho amin’ ny ankavanana, na ho amin’ ny ankavia.
3 And in the eighteenth year of king Josias, the king sent Saphan the son of Assia, the son of Messulam, the scribe of the temple of the Lord, saying to him:
Ary tamin’ ny taona fahavalo ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Josia mpanjaka, dia naniraka an’ i Safana mpanoratra, zanak’ i Azalia, zanak’ i Mesolama, izy ho any an-tranon’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe:
4 Go to Helcias the high priest, that the money may be put together which is brought into the temple of the Lord, which the doorkeepers of the temple have gathered of the people.
Miakara any amin’ i Hilkia mpisoronabe, hanisany ny vola izay nampidirina ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, dia izay nangonin’ ny mpiandry varavarana tamin’ ny olona;
5 And let it be given to the workmen by the overseers of the house of the Lord: and lot them distribute it to those that work in the temple of the Lord, to repair the temple:
ary aoka hatolony ho eo an-tànan’ ny mpanao raharaha izay voatendry ny amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izany; ary aoka homen’ ireo ho an’ ny mpiasa izay ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah hanamboarany ny simba amin’ ny trano,
6 That is, to carpenters and masons, and to such as mend breaches: and that timber may be bought, and stones out of the quarries, to repair the temple of the Lord.
dia ho an’ ny mpandrafitra sy ny mpandatsa-bato ary ny mpipaika, dia hividianana hazo sy vato voapaika hanamboarana ny trano.
7 But let there be no reckoning made with them of the money which they receive, but let them have it in their power, and in their trust.
Kanefa tsy nampamoahina ny amin’ ny vola natolotra teo an-tànany ireo, fa nahatoky izy.
8 And Helcias the high priest said to Saphan the scribe: I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord: and Helcias gave the book to Saphan, and he read it.
Dia hoy Hilkia mpisoronabe tamin’ i Safana mpanoratra: Ny bokin’ ny lalàna dia hitako tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah. Dia natolotr’ i Hilkia an’ i Safana ny boky ka novakiny.
9 And Saphan the scribe came to the king, and brought him word again concerning that which he had commanded, and said: Thy servants have gathered together the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and they have given it to be distributed to the workmen, by the overseers of the works of the temple of the Lord.
Ary Safana mpanoratra niverina ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka nitondra valiny nanao hoe: Ny mpanomponao dia efa nandrotsaka ny vola izay azo tao an-trano ka nanolotra azy teo an-tànan’ ny mpanao raharaha izay voatendry ny amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
10 And Saphan the scribe told the king, saying: Helcias the priest hath delivered to me a book. And when Saphan had read it before the king,
Ary Safana mpanoratra nilaza koa tamin’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Misy boky nomen’ i Hilkia mpisorona ahy. Dia novakin’ i Safana teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka ny boky.
11 And the king had heard the words of the law of the Lord, he rent his garments.
Ary rehefa ren’ ny mpanjaka ny teny tao amin’ ilay bokin’ ny lalàna, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy.
12 And he commanded Helcias the priest, and Ahicam the son of Saphan, and Achobor the son of Micha, and Saphan the scribe, and Asaia the king’s servant, saying:
Ary ny mpanjaka nandidy an’ i Hilkia mpisorona sy Ahikama, zanak’ i Safana, sy Akbora, zanak’ i Mikaia, sy Safana mpanoratra ary Asaia, mpanompon’ andriana, hoe:
13 Go and consult the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all Juda, concerning the words of this book which is found: for the great wrath of the Lord is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened to the words of this book, to do all that is written for us.
Mandehana ianareo, ka manontania amin’ i Jehovah ho ahy sy ny vahoaka mbamin’ ny Joda rehetra ny amin’ ny tenin’ ity boky vao hita ity, fa mafy ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah izay mirehitra amintsika noho ny tsy nihainoan’ ny razantsika ny tenin’ ity boky ity hanao araka izay rehetra voasoratra ho antsika.
14 So Helcias the priest, and Ahicam, and Achobor, and Saphan, and Asaia went to Holda the prophetess the wife of Sellum the son of Thecua, the son of Araas keeper of the wardrobe, who dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second: and they spoke to her.
Dia nandeha Hilkia mpisorona sy Ahikama sy Akbora sy Safana ary Asaia ka nankany amin’ i Holda mpaminanivavy, vadin’ i Saloma, zanak’ i Tikva, zanak’ i Harasa, mpitahiry ny fitafiana (fa nitoetra tao amin’ ny tanàna ambany tany Jerosalema ravehivavy); dia niresaka taminy izy ireo.
15 And she said to them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Tell the man that sent you to me:
Ary hoy ravehivavy taminy Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Lazao amin’ ny lehilahy izay naniraka anareo ho atỳ amiko hoe:
16 Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will bring evils upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, all the words of the law which the king of Juda hath read:
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, Izaho hahatonga loza amin’ ity tanàna ity sy amin’ ny mponina eto, dia araka izay rehetra lazain’ ny boky novakin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
17 Because they have forsaken me, and have sacrificed to strange gods, provoking me by all the works of their hands: therefore my indignation shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.
Satria nahafoy Ahy izy ary nandoro ditin-kazo manitra tamin’ izay andriamani-kafa ka nampahatezitra Ahy amin’ izay rehetra nataon’ ny tànany, dia mirehitra amin’ ity tanàna ity ny fahatezerako ka tsy hosakanana.
18 But to the king of Juda, who sent you to consult the Lord, thus shall you say: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Forasmuch as thou hast heard the words of the book,
Fa ny amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda izay naniraka anareo hanontany amin’ i Jehovah kosa anefa, dia ambarao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Ny amin’ ny teny izay novakinao,
19 And thy heart hath been moved to fear, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord, hearing the words against this place, and the inhabitants thereof, to wit, that they should become a wonder and a curse: and thou hast rent thy garments, and wept before me, I also have heard thee, saith the Lord:
satria nino anatra ianao ka nanetry tena teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, raha nandre izay nolazaiko ny amin’ izay hanjo ity tanàna ity sy ny mponina eto dia ny handravana azy sy ny hahatongavany ho fanozonana ka nandriatra ny fitafianao sady nitomany teo anatrehako ianao, dia Izaho kosa efa nihaino, hoy Jehovah.
20 Therefore I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy sepulchre in peace, that thy eyes may not see all the evils which I will bring; upon this place.
Koa, indro, hangoniko any amin’ ny razanao ianao ary hangonina any amin’ ny fasanao amin’ ny fiadanana; ary ny masonao tsy mba hahita izay loza rehetra ho entiko mamaly ity tanàna ity. Dia nitondra valiny ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka izy ireo.
