Chronicles II 34
1 Josias was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
Valo taona Josia, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary iraika amby telo-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.
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.
Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy ka nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ i Davida rainy, fa tsy mba nivily na ho amin’ ny ankavanana na ho amin’ ny ankavia.
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.
Fa tamin’ ny taona fahavalo nanjakany, raha mbola zatovolahy izy, dia niantomboka nitady an’ Andriamanitr’ i Davida rainy; ary tamin’ ny taona faharoa ambin’ ny folo kosa dia niantomboka nanadio an’ i Joda sy Jerosalema izy mba tsy hisy fitoerana avo, na Aseraha, na sarin-javatra voasokitra, na sarin-javatra an-idina intsony.
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.
Ary noravan’ ny olona teo anatrehan’ i Josia ny alitaran’ ireo Bala; ary ny tsangan-kazo ho an’ ny masoandro izay teo amboniny dia nokapainy; ary ny Aseraha sy ny sarin-javatra voasokitra mbamin’ ny sarin-javatra an-idina dia novakivakiny sy notorotoroiny ho vovoka ka nafafiny teny amin’ ny fasan’ ireo efa namono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho azy.
5 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon the altars, and purged Juda and Jerusalem.
Ary nandoro ny taolan’ ny mpisorona teo ambonin’ ny alitarany izy, ka dia nanadio an’ i Joda sy Jerosalema.
6 And [he did so] in the cities of Manasse, and Ephraim, and Symeon, and Nephthali, and the places round about them.
Ary tany amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Manase sy ny Efraima ary ny Simeona hatrany amin’ ny Naftaly, dia tao an-tanànany izay rava,
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.
dia noravany koa ny alitara sy ny Aseraha; ary ny sarin-javatra voasokitra nomongomongoiny ho vovoka; ary ny tsangan-kazo ho an’ ny masoandro eran’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely rehetra dia nokapainy; ary dia niverina ho any Jerosalema izy.
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.
Ary tamin’ ny taona fahavalo ambin’ ny folo nanjakany, rehefa voadiony ny tany sy ny trano, dia naniraka an’ i Safana, zanak’ i Azalia, sy Mahaseia, komandin’ ny tanàna, ary Joa, zanak’ i Joahaza, mpitadidy ny raharaham-panjakana, izy mba hamboatra ny tranon’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny.
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.
Ary rehefa tonga teo amin’ i Hilkia mpisoronabe izy, dia natolony ny vola izay nampidirina tao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra, izay efa nangonin’ ny Levita, mpiandry varavarana, tamin’ ny Manase sy ny Efraima sy ny sisa rehetra tamin’ ny Isiraely, ary tamin’ ny Joda sy ny Benjamina rehetra sy ny mponina tany Jerosalema.
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.
Ary natolony ho eo an-tanan’ ny lehiben’ ny mpiasa izay voatendry hitandrina ny amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izany, ary natolotr’ ireo kosa ho an’ ny mpiasa izay niasa tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah hanamboarana sy hanamafiana ny trano;
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.
dia nomeny ho an’ ny mpandrafitra sy ry mpandatsa-bato hamidy vato voapaika sy hazo hatao sakamandimby sy lampihazo ho amin’ ny trano izay nosimban’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
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.
Ary ny olona dia nanao ny asa araka izay mety hatao; ary ny voatendry hifehy azy dia lahata sy Obadia Levita, avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Merary, ary Zakaria sy Mesolama, avy tamin’ ny taranaky ny Kehatita, ary ny Levita rehetra izay nahay ny zava-maneno isan-karazany,
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.
dia ireo no tonian’ ny mpitondra entana sady nifehy izay rehetra nanao raharaha tamin’ ny tao-zavatra samy hafa rehetra; ary avy tamin’ ny Levita koa nisy mpanoratra sy mpifehy ary mpiandry varavarana.
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.
Ary raha namoaka ny vola izay nampidirina tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah izy, Hilkia mpisorona dia nahita ny bokin’ ny lalàn’ i Jehovah, ilay nampilazaina an’ i Mosesy.
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.
Ary niteny Hilkia ka nanao tamin’ i Safana mpanoratra hoe: Ny bokin’ ny lalàna dia hitako tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah. Dia natolotr’ i Hilkia an’ i Safana ny boky.
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.
Ary Safana nitondra ny boky ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka sady nilaza taminy hoe: Izay rehetra nasaina nataon’ ny mpanomponao dia nataony avokoa.
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.
Ary narotsany ny vola izay azo tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ka natolony teo an-tànan’ ny olona voatendry sy teo an-tànan’ ny mpiasa.
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.
Ary Safana mpanoratra nilaza koa tamin’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Misy boky nomen’ i Hilkia mpisorona ahy. Dia novakin’ i Safana teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka ny boky.
19 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the law, that he tore his garments.
Ary rehefa ren’ ny mpanjaka ny tenin’ ny lalàna, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy
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,
sady nandidy an’ i Hilkia sy Ahikama, zanak’ i Safana, sy Abdona, zanak’ i Mika, sy Safana mpanoratra ary Asaia, mpanompon’ andriana, ka nanao hoe:
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.
Andeha manontany amin’ i Jehovah ho ahy sy izay sisa amin’ ny Isiraely sy ny Joda ny amin’ ny tenin’ io boky vao hita; fa mafy ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah naidiny amintsika noho ny tsy nitandreman’ ny razantsika ny tenin’ i Jehovah hanao araka izay rehetra voasoratra amin’ io boky io.
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.
Ary Hilkia sy izay notendren’ ny mpanjaka dia nankany amin’ i Holda mpaminanivavy, vadin’ i Saloma, zanak’ i Tokehata, zanak’ i Hasra, mpitahiry ny fitafiana (fa nitoetra tany Jerosalema tao amin’ ny tanàna ambany ravehivavy) ary niresaka izany taminy izy ireo.
23 And she said to them, Thus has the Lord God of Israel said, Tell the man who sent you to me,
Dia hoy ravehivavy taminy: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Lazao amin’ izay lehilahy naniraka anareo tatỳ amiko hoe:
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:
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, Izaho hahatonga loza amin’ ity tanàna ity sy amin’ ny mponina eto, dia ny ozona rehetra izay voasoratra ao amin’ ilay boky efa novakina teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
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.
Satria nahafoy Ahy izy ka nandoro ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ ireny andriamani-kafa sady nampahatezitra Ahy amin’ izay rehetra nataon’ ny tànany, dia haidina amin’ ity tanana ity ny fahatezerako ka tsy hosakanana.
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,
Fa ny amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda kosa izay naniraka anareo hanontany amin’ i Jehovah, dia ambarao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Ny amin’ ny teny izay efa novakinao,
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.
satria nino anatra ianao ka nanetry tena teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra, raha nandre ny teniny ny amin’ ity tanàna ity sy ny mponina eto, eny, satria nanetry tena teo anatrehako ianao ka nandriatra ny fitafianao sady nitomany teo anatrehako, dia Izaho efa nihaino, hoy Jehovah.
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.
Koa, indro, hangoniko any amin’ ny razanao ianao ary hangonina any amin’ ny fasanao amin’ ny fiadanana, ka ny masonao dia tsy mba hahita izay loza rehetra ho entiko mamely ity tanàna ity sy ny mponina eto. Dia nitondra valiny ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka izy ireo.
29 And the king sent and gathered the elders of Juda and Jerusalem.
Ary ny mpanjaka naniraka olona ka nampivory ny loholon’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema rehetra.
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.
Dia niakatra ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ny mpanjaka sy ny lehilahy rehetra tamin’ ny Joda sy ny mponina tany Jerosalema mbamin’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ary ny vahoaka rehetra, na lehibe na kely; dia novakiny teo anatrehany ny teny rehetra teo amin’ ny bokin’ ny fanekena, izay hita tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
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.
Ary ny mpanjaka nitsangana teo amin’ ny fitoeran’ andriana, dia nanao fanekena teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah hanaraka Azy sy hitandrina ny lalàny sy ny teni-vavolombelony ary ny didiny amin’ ny fony rehetra sy ny fanahiny rehetra, hankatò ny tenin’ ny fanekena izay voasoratra ao amin’ izany boky izany,
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.
sady nampifikiriny tsara koa ny olona rehetra tany Jerosalema sy ny Benjamina. Ary ny mponina tany Jerosalema dia nanao araka ny faneken’ Andriamanitra, dia Andriamanitry ny razany
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.
Ary Josia nanaisotra ny fahavetavetana rehetra tamin’ ny tany rehetra izay an’ ny Zanak’ isiraely sady nandidy izay rehetra teo amin’ ny Isiraely hanompo an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny. Tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainan’ i Josia dia tsy mba niala tamin’ ny fanarahana an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, ny olona.
