2 Kings 23
1 And they brought the king word again what she had said. And he sent: and all the ancients of Juda and Jerusalem were assembled to him.
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 temple of the Lord, and all the men of Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, the priests and the prophets, and all the people both little and great: and in the hearing of them all he read all the words of the book of the covenant, which 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 upon the step: and made a covenant with the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies and his ceremonies, with all their heart, and with all their soul, and to perform the words of this covenant, which were written in that book: and the people agreed 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 Helcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to cast out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that had been made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burnt them without Jerusalem in the valley of Cedron, and he carried the ashes of them to Bethel.
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 destroyed the soothsayers, whom the kings of Juda had appointed to sacrifice in the high places in the cities of Juda, and round about Jerusalem: them also that burnt incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, 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 caused the grove to be carried out from the house of the Lord without Jerusalem to the valley of Cedron, and he burnt it there, and reduced it to dust, and cast the dust upon the graves of the common 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 He destroyed also the pavilions of the effeminate, which were in the house of the Lord, for which the women wove as it were little dwellings 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 gathered together all the priests out of the cities of Juda: and he defiled the high places, where the priests offered sacrifice, from Gabaa to Bersabee: and he broke down the altars of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Josue governor of tile city, which was on the left hand of 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 However the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem: but only ate of the unleavened bread among 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 Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom: that no man should consecrate there his son or his daughter 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 took away the horses which the kings of Juda had given to the sun, at the entering in of the temple of the Lord, near the chamber of Nathanmelech the eunuch, who was in Pharurim: and he burnt the chariots 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 upon the top 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 temple of the Lord, the king broke down: and he ran from thence, and cast the ashes of them into the torrent Cedron.
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 The high places also that were at Jerusalem on the right side of the Mount of Offence, O which Solomon king of Israel had built to Astaroth the idol of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the scandal of Moab, and to Melchom the abomination of the children of Ammon, the king defiled.
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 statues, and cut down the groves: and he filled their places with the bones of dead men.
Kaam te a phaek tih Asherah te a top pah phoeiah tah a hmuen te hlang rhuh a bae sak.
15 Moreover the altar also that was at Bethel, and the high place, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made: both the altar, and the high place he broke down and burnt, and reduced 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 as Josias turned himself, he saw there the sepulchres that were in the mount: and he sent and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burnt them upon the altar, and defiled it according to the word of the Lord, which the man of God spoke, who had foretold these things.
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 monument which I see? And the men of that city answered: It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Juda, and foretold these things which thou hast done upon the altar of Bethel.
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 man move his bones. So his bones were left untouched 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 all the temples of the high places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord, Josias took away: and he did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
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 slew all the priests of the high places, that were there, upon the altars: and he burnt men’s bones 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 he commanded all the people, saying: Keep the phase to the Lord your God, according 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,” a ti.
22 Now there was no such a phase kept from the days of the judges, who judged Israel, nor in 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 As was this phase that was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem, in the eighteenth year of king Josias.
Tedae manghai Josiah kah kum hlai rhet daengah ni Yoom he BOEIPA ham Jerusalem ah a saii pueng.
24 Moreover the diviners by spirits, and soothsayers, and the figures of idols, and the uncleannesses, and the abominations, that had been in the land of Juda, and Jerusalem, Josias took away: that he might perform the words of the law, that were written in the book which Helcias the priest had found in the temple 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 before him like unto him, that returned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with ail his strength, according to all the law of Moses: neither after him did there arise any 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 But yet the Lord turned not away from the wrath of his great indignation, wherewith his anger was kindled against Juda: because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses had 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 remove Juda also from before my face, as I have removed Israel: and I will cast off this city Jerusalem, which I chose, 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 Now the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days 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 In his days Pharao Nechao king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josias went to meet him: and was slain at Mageddo, when he had seen 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 they brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in Iris own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias: and they anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.
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 sak uh.
31 Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.
Jehoahaz he kum kul kum thum a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah hla thum manghai. A manu ming tah Libnah lamkah Jeremiah canu Hamutal ni.
32 And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
A napa rhoek kah a cungkuem a saii bangla BOEIPA mik ah boethae a saii.
33 And Pharao Nechao bound him at Rebla, which is in the land of Emath, that he should not reign in Jerusalem: and he set a fine upon the land, of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent 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 Eliacim the son of Josias king in the room of Josias his father: and turned his name to Joakim. And he took Joachaz away and carried him into 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, after he had taxed the land for every man, to contribute according to the commandment of Pharao: and he exacted both the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every man according to his ability: 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 Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Zebida the daughter of Phadaia 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 evil before 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.
