2 Kings 23
1 And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
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 house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great; and he read in their ears 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 on the platform, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep His commandments, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all his heart, and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book; and all the people stood 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 Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of heaven; and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el.
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 put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to offer in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that offered unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the constellations, 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 brought out the Asherah from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof 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 And he broke down the houses of the sodomites, that were in the house of the LORD, where the women wove coverings for the Asherah.
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 brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had made offerings, from Geba to Beer-sheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man's left hand as he entered 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 Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat 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 Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
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 that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nethan-melech the officer, which was in the precincts; and he burned 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 on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king break down, and beat them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
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 And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the detestation of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the detestation of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
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 pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of 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 that was at Beth-el, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and stamped it small to powder, and burned the Asherah.
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 Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount; and he sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed 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 Then he said: 'What monument is that which I see?' And the men of the city told him: 'It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Beth-el.'
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 nauh.
18 And he said: 'Let him be; let no man move his bones.' So they let his bones alone, 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 And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Beth-el.
Samaria khopuei rhoek ahBOEIPAveet 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 burned men's bones upon them; and he 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 the king commanded all the people, saying: 'Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in this book of the 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.
22 For there was not kept such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
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 but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this passover kept to the LORD in Jerusalem.
Tedae manghai Josiah kah kum hlai rhet daengah ni Yoom he BOEIPA ham Jerusalem ah a saii pueng.
24 Moreover them that divined by a ghost or a familiar spirit, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the detestable things that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house 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 And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there 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 Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of His great wrath, wherewith His anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations wherewith Manasseh 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 Judah also out of My sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, 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 Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
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 Pharaoh-necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, 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 in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and 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 sakuh.
31 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Jehoahaz he kum kul kum thum a lo ca vaegah manghai tih Jerusalem ah hla thum manghai. A manu ming tah Libnah lamkah Jeremiah canu Hamutal ni.
32 And he did that which was evil in the sight of 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 Pharaoh-necoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a fine 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 Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim; but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and 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 Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh; he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaoh-necoh.
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 Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Zebudah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
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 that which was evil in the sight of 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.
