2 Kings 23
1 And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
Eka ruoth noluongo jodongo duto mag Juda kod Jerusalem.
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.
Nodhi nyaka e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ka en gi jo-Juda, jo-Jerusalem, jodolo, jonabi 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.
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.
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, mondo omi oritgo weche mag singruok mondiki e kitabuni. Omiyo ji duto noyie gi singruogno.
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.
Ruoth nogolo chik ne Hilkia jadolo maduongʼ, gi jodolo maluwe kod jorit dhoot mondo ogol oko gik moko duto mopa milamogo Baal gi siro mar Ashera kod kit gik moko manie kor polo e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Ne owangʼogi e bath Jerusalem e paw aora Kidron mi otero buchgi Bethel.
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.
Ne oriembo jodolo mag nyiseche manono mane ruodhi mag Juda oketo mondo owangʼ ubani kuonde motingʼore gi malo mag miech Juda kod mago molworo Jerusalem kendo noriemb joma ne wangʼo ubani ne Baal, gi chiengʼ, dwe kod sulwe.
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.
Ne ogolo siro mar Ashera e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye mi otere e bath Jerusalem e holo mar aora Kidron kendo nowangʼe kanyo. Norege molokore buru mi okiro burugo ewi liete joma odhier.
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.
Bende nomuko ut jochode machwo mane ni e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo ma en kama mon ne chweyoe pasia mag Ashera.
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.
Josia nokelo jodolo duto moa e miech Juda kendo noketho kuonde motingʼore gi malo mane jodologo wangʼoe ubani chakre Geba nyaka Bersheba. Ne omuko gik mochwe mag lemo e dhorangeye kaachiel gi mago mane ni e dhoranga Joshua, jatend dala maduongʼ, mane nitie e bat koracham kidonjo e dala.
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.
Kata obedo ni jodolo mag kuonde lemo motingʼore gi malo ne ok ti e kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye man Jerusalem, to ne oyienegi mana chamo makati ma ok oketie thowi gi jodolo wetegi mamoko.
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.
Ne oketho Tofeth mane ni e holo man Ben Hinom, mondo omi kik ngʼato ne ti kode kuom timo misango mar wuode kata nyare e mach ne Molek.
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.
Nogolo kido mar farese mane ruodhi mag Juda oseketone wangʼ chiengʼ e dhoranga hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Ne gin e laru mantie machiegni gi od jatelo ma nyinge Nathan-Melek. Bangʼ mano Josia nowangʼo geche mane itiyogo kuom lamo wangʼ chiengʼ.
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.
Nomuko kende mag misango mane ruodhi mag Juda ogero ewi tat od Ahaz, bende nomuko kende mag misango mane Manase ogero e laru ariyo mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Nogologi kanyo, motoyogi matindo tindo kendo opuko ngʼinjogo e holo mar Kidron.
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.
Ruoth nomuko kuonde motingʼore gi malo mane ni yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jerusalem koma ochomo yo milambo mar Got Kethruok, mane Solomon ruodh Israel ogero ne Ashtoreth, nyasach makwero mar jo-Sidon, gi Kemosh nyasach jo-Moab kod Molek nyasaye manono mar jo-Amon.
14 And he broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men.
Josia notoyo kite milamo kendo ongʼado siro mar Ashera mi oumo kuondego gi choke ji.
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.
Kata mana kendo mar misango man Bethel, ma en kar lemo motingʼore gi malo mane olosgi Jeroboam wuod Nebat, mane omiyo Israel otimo richo bende nomuko. Ne owangʼo kama otingʼore gi malono mi olokore buru bende nowangʼo siro mar Ashera.
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.
Bangʼ mano Josia nongʼiyo koni gi koni kendo kane oneno liete mane ni e kor godno, nogolo chik mondo ogol choke e lietego kendo owangʼ-gi e kendo mar misango kikethego kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye mane ngʼat Nyasaye okoro chon.
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.'
Ruoth nopenjo niya, “En kidi mane manie dho liel maneno cha?” Jo-dala maduongʼno nodwoke niya, “Onyiso kar liend ngʼat Nyasaye mane oa Juda mane okoro gik mane itimo e kendo mar misango man Bethel.”
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.
Ne owacho niya, “Weyeuru, kendo kik ngʼato mul chokene.” Eka ne giweyo chokene to gi mag janabi mane oa Samaria.
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.
Josia nomuko kendo oketho kuonde duto motingʼore gi malo mitimoe misengini mane ruodhi mag Israel ogero e miech Samaria mane omiyo Jehova Nyasaye mirima mana kaka notimo Bethel.
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.
Josia nonego jodolo duto mag nyiseche milamo kuonde motingʼore gi malo mowangʼogi e kende mag misengini. Bangʼ mano nodok Jerusalem.
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.'
Ruoth nogolo chik ni ji duto kama: “Losuru chokruok mar Pasaka ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, mana kaka ondiki e Kitap Singruokni.”
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;
Koa e ndalo mag jongʼad bura mane otelo ne Israel, kata e ndalo duto mag ruodhi mag Israel gi Juda, pok ne otim chokruok mar Pasaka ma kama.
23 but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this passover kept to the LORD in Jerusalem.
To e higa mar apar gaboro mar ruoth Josia, Pasaka machalo kama notimne Jehova Nyasaye e Jerusalem.
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.
Bende Josia notieko jomeny, jo-nyakalondo, nyiseche manono mag udi gi kido milamo kaachiel gi gik moko duto mamono mane oyud Juda kod Jerusalem. Ma ne otimo mondo ochop chik mondiki e kitabu mane Hilkia jadolo ofwenyo e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
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.
Onge ruoth moro kata achiel mane odwogo ir Jehova Nyasaye kaluwore gi chike duto mag Musa gi chunye duto gi ngimane duto kod tekone duto machalo gi Josia.
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.
Kata Kamano, Jehova Nyasaye ne ok oweyo mirimbe mager, mane liel kochomo Juda nikech mago duto mane Manase otimo komiyo mirimbe jimbore.
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.'
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Abiro riembo jo-Juda e nyima mana kaka ne ariembo jo-Israel kendo abiro kwedo Jerusalem dala maduongʼ mane ayiero kaachiel gi hekaluni, mane awuoyoe ni, ‘Kanyo ema Nyinga nobedie.’”
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?
To kuom gik mamoko duto mag loch Josia kod mago duto mane otimo, donge ondikgi e kitabu mag weche mag ruodhi Juda?
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.
E ndalo loch Josia, Farao Neko ruodh Misri nodhi nyaka Aora Yufrate mondo okony ruodh Asuria kedo. Ruoth Josia nowuok mondo oked kode e paw lweny, to ruoth Neko norado kode monege e paw Megido.
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.
Jotije Josia nokelo ringre gi geche lweny koa Megido nyaka Jerusalem mine giike e liende owuon kendo jopinyno nokawo Jehoahaz wuod Josia mi giwire kendo mokete obedo ruoth kar wuon mare.
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 ne ja-higni piero ariyo gadek kane odoko ruoth kendo nobedo e loch kuom dweche adek kodak Jerusalem. Min mare nyinge ne Hamutal nyar Jeremia; mane aa Libna.
32 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
Ne otimo richo e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye mana kaka kwerene notimo.
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.
Farao Neko noterogi e twech Ribla e piny Hamath mondo kik obed ruoth kodak Jerusalem kendo nochuno jo-Juda mondo ochiw osuru mar fedha ma pekne romo kilo alufu adek gi mia angʼwen kod dhahabu ma pekne romo kilo piero adek gangʼwen.
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.
Farao Neko noketo Eliakim wuod Josia ruoth kar wuon mare Josia kendo noloko nying Eliakim ni Jehoyakim. To nokawo Jehoahaz mi otero e twech Misri kuma nothoe.
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.
Jehoyakim nochulo Farao Neko fedha kod dhahabu mane odwaro. Notimo kamano kogolo osuru kuom jopinyno kuom fedha gi dhahabu kaluwore gi yuto mar ngʼato ka ngʼato.
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.
Jehoyakim ne ja-higni piero ariyo gabich kane odoko ruoth kendo nobedo e loch kodak Jerusalem kuom higni apar gachiel. Min mare ne nyinge Zebida nyar Pedaya; mane aa Ruma.
37 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
Kendo notimo gik maricho e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, mana kaka kwerene notimo.
