< 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.
Nígbà náà ọba pe gbogbo àwọn àgbàgbà Juda àti Jerusalẹmu jọ.
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.
Ó gòkè lọ sí ilé Olúwa pẹ̀lú àwọn ọkùnrin Juda, àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu, àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn wòlíì—gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn láti ibi kéékèèké sí ńlá. Ó kà á sí etí ìgbọ́ ọ wọn, gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó wà nínú ìwé májẹ̀mú, tí a ti rí nínú ilé Olúwa.
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.
Ọba sì dúró lẹ́bàá òpó, ó sì sọ májẹ̀mú di tuntun níwájú Olúwa, láti tẹ̀lé Olúwa àti láti pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́, ìlànà àti òfin pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ẹ̀mí rẹ̀, àti láti ṣe ìwádìí àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ májẹ̀mú tí a kọ sínú ìwé yìí. Nígbà náà, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì ṣèlérí fúnra wọn sí májẹ̀mú náà.
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.
Ọba sì pàṣẹ fún Hilkiah olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn, àlùfáà tí ó tẹ̀lé e ní ipò àti àwọn olùṣọ́nà láti yọ kúrò nínú ilé Olúwa gbogbo ohun èlò tí a ṣe fún Baali àti Aṣerah àti gbogbo ẹgbẹ́ ogun ọ̀run. Ó sì sun wọ́n ní ìta Jerusalẹmu ní pápá àfonífojì Kidironi. Ó sì kó eérú wọn jọ sí Beteli.
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.
Ó sì kúrò pẹ̀lú àwọn àlùfáà abọ̀rìṣà tí a yàn láti ọwọ́ ọba Juda láti sun tùràrí ní ibi gíga ti ìlú Juda àti àwọn tí ó yí Jerusalẹmu ká. Àwọn tí ó ń sun tùràrí sí Baali, sí oòrùn àti òṣùpá, sí àwọn àmì ìràwọ̀ àti sí gbogbo ẹgbẹ́ ogun ọ̀run.
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.
Ó mú ère òrìṣà Aṣerah láti ilé Olúwa sí àfonífojì Kidironi ní ìta Jerusalẹmu, ó sì sun wọ́n níbẹ̀. Ó lọ̀ ọ́ bí àtíkè ó sì fọ́n eruku náà sórí isà òkú àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wọ́pọ̀.
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.
Ó sì wó ibùgbé àwọn ọkùnrin alágbèrè ojúbọ òrìṣà lulẹ̀. Tí ó wà nínú ilé Olúwa àti ibi tí àwọn obìnrin tí ń ṣe iṣẹ́ aṣọ híhun fún òrìṣà Aṣerah.
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.
Josiah kó gbogbo àwọn àlùfáà láti àwọn ìlú Juda ó sì ba ibi mímọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì jẹ́ láti Geba sí Beerṣeba, níbi tí àwọn àlùfáà ti sun tùràrí. Ó wó àwọn ojúbọ lulẹ̀ ní ẹnu ìlẹ̀kùn—ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àbáwọlé ti Joṣua, baálẹ̀ ìlú ńlá tí ó wà ní apá òsì ẹnu ìlẹ̀kùn ìlú ńlá.
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.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ wí pé, àwọn àlùfáà ibi gíga kò jọ́sìn ní ibi pẹpẹ Olúwa ní Jerusalẹmu, wọ́n jẹ nínú àkàrà aláìwú pẹ̀lú àwọn àlùfáà ẹlẹgbẹ́ ẹ wọn.
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.
Ó sì ba ohun mímọ́ Tofeti jẹ́, tí ó wà ní àfonífojì Beni-Hinnomu, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó lè lò ó fún ẹbọ rírú fún ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin tàbí ọmọ rẹ̀ obìnrin nínú iná sí Moleki.
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.
Ó sì kúrò láti ẹnu-ọ̀nà àbáwọlé sí ilé Olúwa, àwọn ẹṣin tí àwọn ọba Juda ti yà sọ́tọ̀ sí oòrùn náà. Wọ́n wà nínú ilé ẹjọ́ lẹ́bàá yàrá oníṣẹ́ tí orúkọ rẹ̀ a máa jẹ́ Natani-Meleki. Josiah sì sun àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ tí a yà sọ́tọ̀ fún oòrùn.
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.
Ó wó o palẹ̀ pẹpẹ tí àwọn ọba Juda ti wọ́n gbé dúró ní orí òrùlé lẹ́bàá yàrá òkè ti Ahasi pẹ̀lú àwọn pẹpẹ tí Manase ti kọ́ nínú ilé ẹjọ́ méjèèjì sí ilé Olúwa. Ó ṣí wọn kúrò níbẹ̀, ó fọ́ wọn sí wẹ́wẹ́. Ó sì da ekuru wọn sínú àfonífojì Kidironi.
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.
Ọba pẹ̀lú ba ohun mímọ́ àwọn ibi gíga jẹ́ tí ó wà ní ìhà ìlà-oòrùn Jerusalẹmu ní ìhà gúúsù ti òkè ìbàjẹ́—èyí tí Solomoni ọba Israẹli ti kọ́ fún Aṣtoreti ọlọ́run ìríra àwọn ará Sidoni, fún Kemoṣi ọlọ́run ìríra àwọn ará Moabu àti fún Moleki, ọlọ́run ìríra àwọn ènìyàn Ammoni.
14 And he broke in pieces the statues, and cut down the groves: and he filled their places with the bones of dead men.
Josiah fọ́ òkúta yíyà sọ́tọ̀, ó sì gé ère Aṣerah lulẹ̀. Ó sì bo ẹ̀gbẹ̀gbẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú egungun ènìyàn.
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.
Àní pẹpẹ tí ó wà ní Beteli ibi gíga tí Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati dá. Tí ó ti fa Israẹli láti ṣẹ̀, àní pẹpẹ náà àti ibi gíga tí ó fọ́ túútúú. Ó jó àwọn ibi gíga, ó sì lọ̀ ọ́ sí ẹ̀tù, ó sì sun ère Aṣerah pẹ̀lú.
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.
Nígbà náà, Josiah wò yíká, nígbà tí ó sì rí àwọn isà òkú tí ó wà níbẹ̀ ní ẹ̀bá òkè, ó yọ egungun kúrò lára wọn, ó sì jó wọn lórí pẹpẹ láti sọ ọ́ di èérí ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí a ti kéde láti ọ̀dọ̀ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run tí ó ti àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí tẹ́lẹ̀.
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.
Ọba sì béèrè pé, “Kí ni ọwọ̀n isà òkú yẹn tí mo rí?” Àwọn ọkùnrin ìlú ńlá wí pé, “Ó sàmì sí isà òkú ènìyàn Ọlọ́run tí ó wá láti Juda, tí ó sì kéde ìdojúkọ pẹpẹ Beteli, ohun kan wọ̀nyí tí ìwọ ti ṣe sí wọn.”
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.
“Fi sílẹ̀ nìkan,” Ó wí pé. “Má ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni ó da àwọn egungun rẹ̀ láàmú.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n dá egungun rẹ̀ sí àti ti àwọn wòlíì tí ó wá láti Samaria.
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.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe ní Beteli, Josiah sì kúrò, ó sì ba gbogbo ojúbọ òrìṣà ti ibi gíga jẹ́, tí àwọn ọba Israẹli ti kọ́ sí àwọn ìlú ní Samaria, tí ó ti mú Olúwa bínú.
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.
Josiah dúńbú gbogbo àwọn àlùfáà ibi gíga lórí pẹpẹ. Ó sì sun egungun ènìyàn lórí wọn. Nígbà náà, ó padà lọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
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.
Ọba pàṣẹ fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Ẹ ṣe ìrántí àjọ ìrékọjá sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ sí inú ìwé májẹ̀mú yìí.”
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,
Kì í ṣe láti ọjọ́ àwọn Juda tí ó tọ́ Israẹli, ní gbogbo àwọn ọjọ́ àwọn ọba Israẹli àti àwọn ọba Juda. Ṣé wọ́n ti ṣe ìrántí àjọ ìrékọjá rí.
23 As was this phase that was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem, in the eighteenth year of king Josias.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọdún kejìdínlógún tí ọba Josiah, àjọ ìrékọjá yìí ni a ṣe ìrántí sí Olúwa ní Jerusalẹmu.
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.
Síwájú sí, Josiah sì lé àwọn oṣó àti àwọn ẹ̀mí ní àwọn ìdílé, àti àwọn òrìṣà àti gbogbo àwọn nǹkan ìríra tí a rí ní Juda àti ní Jerusalẹmu. Èyí ni ó ṣe kí ó le è mú ọ̀rọ̀ òfin náà ṣe ní ti òfin tí a kọ sínú ìwé tí Hilkiah àlùfáà ti rí nínú ilé Olúwa.
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.
Kò sì sí ọba kankan níwájú tàbí lẹ́yìn Josiah tí ó dàbí rẹ̀, tí ó yí padà sí olúwa tinútinú àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe tọkàntọkàn pẹ̀lú gbogbo ẹ̀mí i rẹ̀, pẹ̀lú gbogbo agbára rẹ̀ ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú gbogbo òfin Mose.
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.
Bí ó ti wù kí ó rí Olúwa kò yípadà kúrò nínú ìmúná ìbínú ńlá rẹ̀ tí ó jó sí Juda, nítorí gbogbo èyí tí Manase ti ṣe láti mú un bínú.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa wí pé, “Èmi yóò mú Juda kúrò pẹ̀lú níwájú mi, bí mo ti mú Israẹli, èmi yóò sì kó Jerusalẹmu, ìlú ńlá tí mo yàn àti ilé Olúwa yìí, nípa èyí tí mo sọ, ‘Níbẹ̀ ni orúkọ mi yóò wà?’”
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?
Fún ti ìyókù iṣẹ́ nígbà ìjọba Josiah, àti gbogbo ohun tí ó ṣe, ṣé a kò kọ wọ́n sí inú ìwé ìtàn ayé àwọn ọba Juda?
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.
Nígbà tí Josiah jẹ́ ọba, Farao Neko ọba Ejibiti gòkè lọ sí odò Eufurate láti lọ ran ọba Asiria lọ́wọ́. Ọba Josiah jáde lọ láti lọ bá a pàdé lójú ogun ṣùgbọ́n Neko dojúkọ ọ́, ó sì pa á ní Megido.
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.
Ìránṣẹ́ Josiah gbé ara rẹ̀ wá nínú kẹ̀kẹ́ láti Megido sí Jerusalẹmu ó sì sin ín sínú isà òkú rẹ̀. Àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà mú Jehoahasi ọmọ Josiah. Ó fi àmì òróró yàn án, ó sì ṣe é ní ọba ní ipò baba a rẹ̀.
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.
Jehoahasi sì jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́tàlélógún nígbà tí ó di ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún oṣù mẹ́ta. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ a máa jẹ́ Hamutali ọmọbìnrin Jeremiah; ó wá láti Libina.
32 And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
Ó ṣe búburú lójú Olúwa gẹ́gẹ́ bí baba a rẹ̀ ti ṣe.
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.
Farao Neko sì fi sí inú ìdè ní Ribla ní ilẹ̀ Hamati, kí ó má ba à lè jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu. Ó sì tan Juda jẹ fun iye ìwọ̀n ẹgbẹ̀rin tálẹ́ǹtì wúrà kan.
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.
Farao Neko ṣe Eliakimu ọmọ Josiah ní ọba ní ipò baba rẹ̀ Josiah. Ó sì yí orúkọ Eliakimu padà sí Jehoiakimu. Ṣùgbọ́n ó mú Jehoahasi, ó sì gbé e lọ sí Ejibiti, níbẹ̀ ni ó sì kú.
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.
Jehoiakimu sì san fún Farao Neko fàdákà àti wúrà tí ó béèrè. Láti ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ó bu owó òde fún ilẹ̀ náà láti san, ó fi agbára gba fàdákà àti wúrà láti ọwọ́ àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú iye tí a pín.
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.
Jehoiakimu jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n nígbà tí ó di ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mọ́kànlá orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ ni Sebida ọmọbìnrin Pedaiah ó wá láti Ruma.
37 And he did evil before the Lord according to all that his fathers had done.
Ó sì ṣe búburú lójú Olúwa gẹ́gẹ́ bí baba a rẹ̀ ti ṣe.
