2 Chronicles 34
1 Josiah was eight when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for thirty-one years.
Josia ne ja-higni aboro kane obedo ruoth kendo norito pinyno kodak Jerusalem kuom higni piero adek gachiel.
2 He did what was right in the Lord's sight and followed the ways of his forefather David—he did not deviate to the right or to the left.
Timbe Josia ne longʼo e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye kendo nowuotho e yore duto mag Daudi kwar-gi ma ok olokore kongʼiyo korachwich kata koracham.
3 In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, Josiah began to publicly worship the God of David his forefather, and in the twelfth year of his reign he began to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem by removing the high places, the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the metal images.
E higa mar aboro mar lochne kane pod en rawera nochako luwo Nyasach Daudi kwar mare. E hike mar apar gariyo nochako pwodho Juda kod Jerusalem koketho kuonde motingʼore gi malo mag lemo, gi sirni mag lemo mar Ashera, gi nyiseche mopa kod kido mothedhi.
4 He had the altars of Baal torn down in front of him, and the incense altars above them cut down. In addition, the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the metal images were smashed to pieces and scattered over the graves of those who had been sacrificing to them.
Kaluwore kod chik mane ogolo, kende liswa mag Baal nomuki; nomuko kende mag misango miwangʼoe ubani mane ochungʼ e wigi motoyogi matindo tindo, kendo nomuko sirni mag Ashera milamo, nyiseche manono kod kido milamo mongʼadogi matindo tindo. Magi nongʼinjo matindo tindo mokeyogi ewi liete mag jogo mane otimonegi liswa.
5 He burned the bones of the idolatrous priests on their altars. In this way he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
Nowangʼo choke jodolo e kendegi mag misango omiyo nopwodho Juda kod Jerusalem.
6 Josiah repeated this in the towns of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, all the way to Naphtali, and in their surrounding areas.
Kamano bende e miech Manase gi Efraim kod Simeon nyaka chop Naftali kaachiel gi kuonde molworogi mane osekethi,
7 He tore down the altars and crushed the Asherah poles and the images to dust, and cut down all the incense altars across the whole land of Israel. Then he went back to Jerusalem.
nomuko kende mag misango gi sirni mag Ashera milamo kendo notoyo nyisechegi mongʼinyore ka buru kendo nongʼado matindo tindo kende miwangʼoe ubani e piny Israel duto, bangʼe noduogo Jerusalem.
8 In the eighteenth year of his reign, once he had finished cleansing the land and the Temple, Josiah sent Shaphan, son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the city governor, and Joah, son of Joahaz, the record-keeper, to repair the Temple of the Lord his God.
E higa mar apar gaboro mar loch Josia mondo neni opwodh piny kod hekalu nooro Shafan wuod Azalia gi Maseya jatend dala maduongʼ kaachiel gi Joa wuod Joahaz ma jachan weche mondo olos hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache.
9 They went to Hilkiah the high priest and gave him the money that had been brought to God's Temple. The Levites at the entrances had collected this money from the people of Manasseh and Ephraim, from what was left of the people of Israel, as well as contributions from Judah, Benjamin, and the people of Jerusalem.
Negidhi ir Hilkia jadolo maduongʼ mi gimiye pesa mane osekel e hekalu mar Nyasaye ma jo-Lawi ma jorit dhoudi nosechoko kuom jo-Manase gi jo-Efraim kod jo-Israel duto mane odongʼ gi jo-Juda gi jo-Benjamin kaachiel gi joma nodak Jerusalem.
10 They handed it over to those who were supervising the repair work on Lord's Temple, who in turn paid the workmen doing the restoring and repairing.
Negiketogi e lwet joma otelo ne gedo mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Jogi nochulo jotich mane oloso kendo odwogo hekalu kaka ne ochalo chon.
11 They also paid carpenters and builders to buy cut stone, as well as timber for joists and beams for the buildings that the kings of Judah had let deteriorate.
Jopa bepe kod jogedo bende nomi pesa mondo gingʼiewgo kite mopa kod yiend ripo kod sirni mondo gilosgo udi mane ruodhi Juda oweyo okethore.
12 The men did good, honest work. In charge of them were Jahath and Obadiah, Levites from the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, Levites from the sons of the Kohathites. The Levites, all skilled musicians,
Jogo ne otiyo tijno gadiera. E tijno notelnigi kod jo-Lawi mane gin Jahath kod Obadia mane gin nyikwa Merari, kendo Zekaria gi Meshulam mane nyikwa Kohath. Jo-Lawi, ma gin jogo duto mane olony kuom goyo thumbe
13 were in charge of the workmen and directed everyone involved, depending on what was required. Some of the Levites were scribes, some officers, and some gatekeepers.
ema notelo ne jotich kendo negingʼiyo jotich mag tije mopogore opogore. Jo-Lawi moko ne jogoro gi jopuonj chike kod jorit dhoudi.
14 In the process of taking out the money donated to the Lord's Temple, Hilkiah the priest discovered the Book of the Lord's Law written down by Moses.
Kane gigolo oko pesa mane oseter e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, Hilkia jadolo nonwangʼo Kitap Chik mar Jehova Nyasaye mane ochiw ne Musa.
15 Hilkiah told Shaphan the scribe, “I've found the Book of the Law in the Lord's Temple.” He gave it to Shaphan.
Hilkia nowachone Shafan jagoro niya, “Aseyudo Kitap Chik ei hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.” Nochiwe ni Shafan.
16 Shaphan took the book to the king and told him, “We your servants are doing everything we were instructed to do.
Eka Shafan nokawo kitabuno motere ni ruoth mowachone niya, “Jodongi tiyo tije duto mane osemigi.
17 The money collected at the Lord's Temple has been handed over to those who are supervising the workers, paying them to do the repairs.”
Gisechulo pesa mane nitiere e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo gisechiwogi e lwet jotich kod jotend hekalu.”
18 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest gave me this book.” Shaphan read it to the king.
Bangʼe Shafan jagoro nowachone niya, “Hilkia jadolo osemiya kitabu moro.” Mi Shafan nosomo kitabuno e nyim ruoth.
19 When the king heard what the Law said, he tore his clothes.
Kane ruoth owinjo weche mag Chik, noyiecho lepe.
20 Then he issue the following orders to Hilkiah, Ahikam, son of Shaphan, Abdon, son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah, the king's assistant:
Nochiwo chikegi ne Hilkia gi Ahikam wuod Shafan gi Abdon wuod Mika gi Shafan jagoro kod Asaya jarit mar ruoth kowachonegi niya,
21 “Go and talk to the Lord for me, and also for those who still live in Israel and Judah, about what is said in the book that's been found. For the Lord must be really angry with us because our forefathers have not obeyed the Lord's instructions by following all that's written in this book.”
“Dhiuru upenj Jehova Nyasaye gima biro timorena, jo-Israel kod jo-Juda modongʼ kaluwore gi weche mantiere e kitabu mosenwangʼno. Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye maliel ka mach osechomowa nikech kwerewa ok oserito wach Jehova Nyasaye; kendo ok gisetimo timbe moluwore gi gik moko duto mondiki e kitabuni.”
22 Hilkiah and those the king had selected went and talked with Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, custodian of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the city's second quarter.
Hilkia gi jogo mane ruoth ooro kaachiel kode nodhi ir Hulda janabi madhako mane chi Shalum wuod Tokhath, ma wuod Hasra jarit kar keno mar lep lemo. Nodak Jerusalem e gwengʼ mar ariyo.
23 Huldah told them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me,
Hulda jadolo madhako nowachonegi niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach jo-Israel wacho: Nyisuru ngʼatno mane oorou ira niya,
24 this is what the Lord says: I am about to bring disaster down on this place and on its people, in accordance with all the curses written in the book that has been read to the king of Judah.
‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Abiro kelo masira e pinyni kendo kuom joma odakie, kaluwore gi kwongʼ duto mondikie kitabu mosesom e nyim ruodh Juda.
25 They have abandoned me and offered sacrifices to other gods, making me angry by everything they've done. My anger will be poured out upon this place and will not be stopped.
Mirimba nosik kuom pinyni kendo ok norum nikech gisejwangʼa ka giwangʼo ubani ne nyiseche manono kendo ka gimiya mirima kuom lamo nyiseche mopa gi lwedo.’
26 But tell the king of Judah who sent you to ask the Lord, tell him this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: As for the what you heard read to you—
Wachneuru ruodh Juda, mane oorou mondo upenja gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach jo-Israel wacho kaluwore gi weche musewinjo:
27 because you were receptive and repentant before God when you heard his warnings against this place and against its people, and because you have repented, tearing your clothes and weeping before me, I have also heard you, declares the Lord.
Nikech ne uwinjo wach kendo uboloru e nyim Nyasaye kane uwinjo weche mane owacho kuom pinyni kod joma odakie, kendo nikech ne uboloru e nyima, ma uyiecho lepu kuywak e nyima, omiyo asewinjo ywaku, Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
28 All this will not happen until after you have died, and you will die in peace. You will not see all the disaster that I'm going to bring down on this place and on its inhabitants.” They went back to the king and gave him her response.
Koro anami iywe gi kwereni kendo noiki gi kwe. Ok inine masiche mabiro kelone pinyni gi joma odakie.’” Omiyo negidwoko wach ne ruoth.
29 Then the king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Eka ruoth noluongo jodongo duto mag Juda kod Jerusalem kaachiel.
30 He went to the Lord's Temple with all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, together with the priests and the Levites, all the people from the least to the greatest, and he read to them the whole Book of the Agreement that had been discovered in the Lord's Temple.
Nodhi nyaka e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ka en gi jo-Juda, jo-Jerusalem, jodolo, jo-Lawi, kaachiel gi ji duto momewo kod ma jochan. Nosomonegi weche duto mane ondiki e Kitabu mar Singruok mane osenwangʼ e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ka giwinjo.
31 The king stood by the pillar and made a solemn agreement before the Lord to follow him and to keep his commandments, laws, and regulations with total dedication, and to observe the requirements of the agreement as written in the book.
Ruoth nochungʼ e bath siro kendo noketo winjruok mane oselal obedo kare e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kosingore ni enoluw Jehova Nyasaye kendo norit chikene gi wechene kod buchene gi chunye duto kod pache duto kendo norit weche mag singruok mondiki e kitabuni.
32 Then he had everyone present from Jerusalem and Benjamin stand up to show they agreed to it. So all the people of Jerusalem accepted and followed the agreement with God, the God of their forefathers.
Eka nomiyo jo-Jerusalem duto kod jo-Benjamin okwongʼore ni ginirit singruokno kendo jo-Jerusalem notimo mano kaluwore gi singruok mar Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kweregi.
33 Josiah demolished all the vile idols from the whole territory belonging to the Israelites, and he made everyone in Israel serve the Lord their God. During his reign they did not give up worshiping the Lord, the God of their fathers.
Josia nogolo gik makwero mag nyiseche manono e piny jo-Israel duto kendo nomiyo ji duto modak e piny Israel otiyo ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachgi. E ndalo duto mag ngimane ji ne ok oweyo luwo Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kweregi.
