Chronicles II 34

1 Josias was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.

Josiah Judah gamma leng ahung chan chun kum 5 bou anahi nalaijin ahi, chuleh Jerusalem ma chun kum31 vai anahom min ahi

2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father David, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.

Amahi Pakai lunglam tah in anachon nin ahi. Amahin a pului leng David chonna anajuijin Pathen daan ho jouse ana jui bukim min ahi

3 And in the eighth year of his reign, and he [being] yet a youth, he began to seek the Lord God of his father David: and in the twelfth year of his reign he began to purge Juda and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the ornaments for the altars, and the molten images.

Josiah chu khangdong cha in kum 8 ahi kummin leng ana changin, aman apului leng David Pathen chu ana houvin, kum 4 jouvin Asherah pathen lim kisemthu namdang te pathen houna mun jouse doi phungho jouse chu ana suse soh keijin ahi

4 And he pulled down the altars of Baalim that were before his face, and the high places that were above them; and he cut down the groves, and the graven images, and broke in pieces the molten images, and reduced them to powder, and cast [it] upon the surface of the tombs of those who [had] sacrificed to them.

Ama thupeh dung juiyin Baal kihouna jouse leh ahalnam na maicham jouse amiten anaban suhsetnun, Asherah houna limsemthu holeh doiphung ho jouse asugoi sellin hiche ho anahou ho lhan chungah ana theovin ahi

5 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon the altars, and purged Juda and Jerusalem.

Aman hiche semthu pathen leh doihou na thempu ho guchu adoi hounao chunga chun meiyin anahallun ahi. Hitia hi ana boljeh in Judah leh Jerusalem mipite chu houthu lamdollin ana sutheng kit nin ahi

6 And [he did so] in the cities of Manasse, and Ephraim, and Symeon, and Nephthali, and the places round about them.

Aman hitimachun Manasseh, Ephraim leh Simion leh sahlanga Nephtali gamgei jin ana ban suh thengin ahi

7 And he pulled down the altars and the groves, and he cut the idols in small pieces, and cut off all the high places from all the land of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem.

Aleng gam sahlang gamho geijin Asherah semthu pathen houna maicham phungho geijin adoi hounao leh gimnamtwi ahalnamnao maicham geijin avochipmin asubong sellin ahi. Hiche jouchun Jerusalem langa akile bepmin ahi

8 And in the eighteenth year of his reign, after having cleansed the land, and the house, he sent Saphan the son of Ezelias, and Maasa prefect of the city, and Juach son of Joachaz his recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God.

Aman hiti a hi gamdang pathen houna asuhbeija gamsung leh houin sung asuhtheng jouvin Josiah lengpan Pakai Pathen houin semphadingin mi 3 asollin ahi: amahochu Azaliah chapa Shaphan, Jerusalem Governor Maaseiah leh lamkai lenkhat Joahaz chapa Joah ahi

9 And they came to Chelcias the high priest, and gave the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the gate collected of the hand of Manasse and Ephraim, and of the princes, and of every one that was left in Israel, and of the children of Juda and Benjamin, and of the dwellers in Jerusalem.

Levi te houin ngah a panghon sum ahin dondoh houchu thempulen Hilkiah henga apelutnun ahi. (Hiche sumchu Ephraim leh Manasseh chuleh sahlam leng gam jouse Judah, Benjamin leh Jerusalem mipite ho jouse – a konna kidongdoh sum ahi

10 And they gave it into the hand of the workmen, who were appointed in the house of the Lord, and they gave it to the workmen who wrought in the house of the Lord, to repair and strengthen the house.

Hiche sumchu houin sempha dinga kinganse mi 3 ho komma chun apelutnun ahi, chuleh amahon thingthem bol chuleh insa ho chu songleh thing achoh uva Judah lengpan anamon lhahsah ho semphat nan amangun ahi

11 They gave [it] also to the carpenters and builders, to buy squared stones, and timber for beams to cover the houses which the kings of Juda had destroyed.

12 And the men [were] faithfully [engaged] in the works: and over them were superintendents, Jeth and Abdias, Levites of the sons of Merari, and Zacharias and Mosollam, of the sons of Caath, [appointed] to oversee; and every Levite, and every one that understood [how] to play on musical instruments.

Hiche kintong ho chu lungtheng tah ahiove, amahon chu Levi te mi 4 Merari phunga konna Jahath le Obadiah chuleh Kohath phunga kon Zechariah leh Meshullam, amaho hi nana lamkaijun ahi (Hiche Levi ho hi tumging saithem cheh ahiove)

13 And [overseers were] over the burden-bearers, and over all the workmen in the respective works; and of the Levites [were appointed] scribes, and judges, and porters.

Levi dangho chu thil thah le leh natoh jatchom chomma natongho chunga vaihom min apangun chuleh adanghon thuching leh miveng bitnin apangun ahi

14 And when they brought forth the money that had been brought into the house of the Lord, Chelcias the priest found a book of the law of the Lord [given] by the hand of Moses.

Sumchu akoina konna akilah doh chun, Pathen nin Mose anapeh Pakai daan buchu Hilkiah in ahin mudoh in ahi

15 And Chelcias answered and said to Saphan the scribe, I have found a book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Chelcias gave the book to Saphan.

Aman Shaphan jeh a “Keiman houin sungah daan bu chu kamudoh tai” ati. Aman lekhabu chu Shaphan apen ahi

16 And Saphan brought in the book to the king, and moreover gave an account to the king, [saying, This is] all the money given into the hand of your servants that work.

Shaphan chun lekhabu chu achoijin lengpa kommah hiti hin thu agalhut ne: Keihon nangma thupeh bang bangin katongun ahi.

17 And they have collected the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and given it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of them that do the work.

Keihon houinna kikoi sumchu kalaovin natong holeh avesui ja pang ho kapeovin ahi

18 And Saphan the scribe brought word to the king, saying, Chelcias the priest has given me a book. And Saphan read it before the king.

Hijou chun aman “Hilkiah in eipeh lekhabu chu kahin choije” atin lekhabu chu lengpa jahdin ahin simphongin ahi

19 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the law, that he tore his garments.

Lengpan lekhabu kisim chu ajah phat nin kicha tah in apon abotkeh in ahi

20 And the king commanded Chelcias, and Achicam the son of Saphan, and Abdom the son of Michaias, and Saphan the scribe, and Asia the servant of the king, saying,

Hichun Hilkiah leh Shaphan chapa Ahikam chuleh Micaiah chapa Abdon chuleh Shaphan athutan na munna lekha jihpa chuleh lengpa kithopi a pang Isaiah ama ho cheng komma chun thu apen:

21 Go, enquire of the Lord for me, and for every one that is left in Israel and Juda, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord [which] has been kindled among us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of the Lord, to do according to all the things written in this book.

“Nangho cheovinlang keima dingleh tunigeija Israel teleh Judah te gamsunga chengnalai mipi ho dingin Pakai chu eigadoh peh un. Hiche lekhabu thuhil hojong gahechen nun. Ipu ipateovin Pakai thupeh anajuilou jeh uleh hiche lekha hin asei dung jui'a anatoh loujeh un Pakai ichunguvah alung hangtan ahi” ati

22 And Chelcias went, and [the others] whom the king told, to Olda the prophetess, the wife of Sellem son of Thecoe, son of Aras, who kept the commandments; and she lived in Jerusalem in the second [quarter]: and they spoke to her accordingly.

Lengpa thupeh dung juiyin Hilkiah leh aloiho acheovin Jerusalem munthah langa cheng themgao numei Huldah chu gadong dingin acheovin ahi. (Ajipa Shallum chu Tikvah chapa, Hasrah tupa chu houin von ho vesuija panga ahi) Themgaonu kommah thilsoh hochu asei peh un ahi

23 And she said to them, Thus has the Lord God of Israel said, Tell the man who sent you to me,

Amanun amaho chu lengpa komma kinung leovin lang

24 Thus says the Lord, Behold, I bring evil upon this place, [even] all the words that are written in the book that was read before the king of Juda:

Pakai jakonna thuthot hi seipeh un, “Keiman Jerusalem leh amipiho jouse chunga lengpa komma hiche lekhabu kijih nasim doh u sapset nachu nachung uva kagui lhunsah ding ahi

25 because they have forsaken me, and burnt incense to strange gods, that they might provoke me by all the works of their hands; and my wrath is kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.

Ajeh chu amahon keima eipai dohun Jerusalem chungah kalung hanna akoudoh sahtaovin ahi, Hiche hi mit theilou ding ahi atipeh in ahi

26 And concerning the king of Juda, who sent you to seek the Lord, —thus shall you say to him, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, [As for] the words which you has heard,

lengpa dinga chu keima Israel Pakai Pathennin asei ahi: Nangin hiche lekhabu a kisei hi nangaijin ahi,

27 forasmuch as your heart was ashamed, and you was humbled before me when you heard my words against this place, and against the inhabitants of it, and you were humbled before me, and did rend your garments, and did weep before me; I also have heard, says the Lord.

Chuleh nangman Jerusalem leh amipite Kagih naho najah phatnin nalung naheijin ka angah naki sumnemmin navon nasat tellin nakap jengin ahileh keiman nataona kangai peh tan ahi

28 Behold, I [will] gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes shall not look upon all the evils which I am bringing upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of it. And they brought back word to the king.

Hijeh chun Jerusalem chunga ka engbol nading nangma thijou teng le bou kaguilhun sah ding ahi. Keiman nangvang lung monga kathisah ding ahi” ati. Hichun amahon hiche thuthot chu apouvin Josiah lengpa kommah akiletaove

29 And the king sent and gathered the elders of Juda and Jerusalem.

Josiah lengpan Judah leh Jerusalem ma lamkai ho jouse chu akou khommin,

30 And the king went up to the house of the Lord, [he] and all Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that were found in the house of the Lord.

Abonnin houinnah achekhommun ahi. Amahochu thempu holeh Levi ten chuleh mipi ho jouse mihao leh mivaicha hon abonnun kitepna lekhabu chu ahin simdoh sahtaan ahi

31 And the king stood at a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk before the Lord, to keep his commandments and testimonies, and his ordinances, with all [his] heart and with all [his] soul, so as to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.

Amachu lengte dinna munnachun Pakai toh kitepna abollin ahi. Pakai thu dung jui'a athupeh nitding dol hochu nitding chun Pakai toh kitepna ananei khommun ahi

32 And he caused all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand; and the inhabitants of Jerusalem made a covenant in the house of the Lord God of their fathers.

Aman Benjamin mipiteleh chuche petna Jerusalem ma umjouse chu hiche kitepna juidingin anopsah taan ahi. Hitichun Jerusalem ma mipite chun apu apateo Pathen toh kitepna ana neitaovin ahi

33 And Josias removed all the abominations out of the whole land which belonged to the children of Israel, and caused all that were found in Jerusalem and in Israel, to serve the Lord their God all his days: he departed not from following the Lord God of his fathers.

Josiah lengpachun Israel mipite gamsunga um kidah umtah doiphung ho jouse chu ana sumang soh in ama hinlai sung chun mipiten apu apateo Pathen, Pakai kinbou anahou sah in ahi
