2 Chronicles 34
1 Eight years old was Josiah when he became king, and thirty and one years did he reign in Jerusalem.
Yosiyaas yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa saddeetii ture; Yerusaalem keessa taaʼees waggaa soddomii tokko bulche.
2 And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father, and turned not aside to the right or to the left.
Inni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan qajeelaa ni hojjete; utuu mirgatti yookaan bitaatti hin gorinis karaa abbaa isaa Daawit irra deeme.
3 And in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet a lad, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purify Judah and Jerusalem from the high-places, and the Asherim, and the carved images, and the molten images.
Inni mootii taʼee waggaa saddeettaffaatti utuma umurii dargaggummaa keessa jiruu Waaqa abbaa isaa Daawit barbaaduu jalqabe. Waggaa kudha lammaffaatti immoo Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem keessaa iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa, siidaawwan Aasheeraa, waaqota tolfamoo fi fakkiiwwan baqfamanii tolfaman ni balleesse.
4 And they broke down in his presence the altars of the Be'alim, and the sun-images, that were set above them, he cut down; and the Asherim, and the carved images, and the molten images, he broke in pieces, and ground down, and strewed [the same] upon the graves of those that had sacrificed unto them.
Qajeelfama isaatiinis iddoowwan aarsaa Baʼaal diigaman; iddoowwan aarsaa ixaanaa kanneen achi irra turan caccabsee siidaawwan Aasheeraa, waaqota tolfamoo fi fakkiiwwan hurreesse. Wantoota kanneenis daakee bulleessee awwaala warra isaaniif aarsaa dhiʼeessaa turanii irratti bittinneesse.
5 And the bones of priests did he burn upon their altars; and he purified Judah and Jerusalem.
Lafee lubootaas iddoowwan aarsaa isaanii irratti guggube. Haala kanaanis Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalemin qulqulleesse.
6 And [so did he] in the cities of Menasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even as far as Naphtali, with their mattocks, round about.
Magaalaawwan Minaasee, kan Efreemii fi Simiʼoon kanneen hamma Niftaalemitti jiranii fi akkasumas diigamaa naannoowwan isaanii keessatti
7 And when he had broken down the altars and had beaten the Asherim and the graven images into powder, and cut down all the sun-images throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
iddoowwan aarsaa fi siidaawwan Aasheeraa ni jijjigse; waaqota tolfamoo daaraa godhe; iddoowwan aarsaa ixaanaa kanneen guutummaa Israaʼel keessa jiran hundas ni caccabse. Ergasiis Yerusaalemitti deebiʼe.
8 And in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purified the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azalyahu, and Ma'asseyahu the governor of the city and Joach the son of Joachaz the recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God.
Yosiyaas mootii taʼee waggaa kudha saddeettaffaatti erga biyyattii fi mana qulqullummaa qulqulleessee booddee mana Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa haaromsuuf Shaafaan ilma Azaliyaa, Maʼaseyaa bulchaa magaalaa fi Yooʼaa ilma Yooʼaahaaz galmeessaa sana erge.
9 And they came to Chilkiyahu the high-priest, and gave up the money that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites that watched at the threshold had gathered from the hand of Menasseh and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah and Benjamin, and were returned to Jerusalem.—
Isaanis gara Hilqiyaa lubicha ol aanaa dhaqanii maallaqa mana qulqullummaa Waaqaatiif fidame sana itti kennan; maallaqa kanas Lewwota balbala eegantu saboota Minaasee irraa, kan Efreem irraa, hambaawwan Israaʼel hunda irraa, saba Yihuudaa fi kan Beniyaam hunda irraa akkasumas jiraattota Yerusaalem irraa walitti qabe.
10 And they delivered it into the hand of those who overlooked the workmen that had been appointed as overseers of the house of the Lord: and those who overlooked the workmen, who did the work in the house of the Lord, gave it out, to repair and to restore the house,
Isaanis maallaqa sana namoota akka hojii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo toʼataniif muudamanitti imaanaa kennan. Namoonni kunneenis hojjettoota mana qulqullummaa haaromsanii akka duriitti deebisaniif ni kaffalu.
11 And they gave it to the carpenters and to the builders to buy hewn stone and timber for joists, and to lay the beams in the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
Akkasumas akka isaan ijaarsa mootonni Yihuudaa akka diigamu godhan sanaaf dhagaa soofame, laaxaawwan, mukkeen sutaa fi dareeraawwan bitaniif ogeeyyii mukaa fi ijaartotatti maallaqa kennan.
12 And the men acted faithfully in the work: and over them were appointed Jachath and 'Obadyahu, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kehathites, to supervise; and every one of these Levites was skilful on instruments of music.
Namoonni sunis amanamummaadhaan hojicha hojjetan. Lewwota sanyii Meraarii keessaa Yahaatii fi Obaadiyaan akkasumas sanyii Qohaati keessaa Zakkaariyaasii fi Meshulaam akka jara sana hojjechiisaniif isaan irratti muudaman. Lewwonni meeshaa faarfannaa taphachuu beekan hundis
13 They were also over the bearers of burdens and supervisors over all that did the work in every manner of service: and from the Levites there were also scribes, and officers, and gatekeepers.
itti gaafatamtoota hojjettoota hojii humnaa taʼanii hojjettoota hojii garaa garaa illee toʼachaa turan. Lewwonni tokko tokkos barreessitoota, qondaaltotaa fi eegdota balbalaa turan.
14 And when they took out the money that had been brought into the house of the Lord, Chilkiyahu the priest found the book of the law of the Lord through the hand of Moses.
Utuma isaan maallaqa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti galfame sana baasaa jiranuu Hilqiyaa lubichi Kitaaba Seera Waaqayyoo kan karaa Museetiin kenname sana arge.
15 Then commenced Chilkiyahu and said to Shaphan the scribe, The book of the law have I found in the house of the Lord. And Chilkiyahu gave the book to Shaphan.
Hilqiyaanis Shaafaan barreessaa sanaan, “Ani mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti Kitaaba Seeraa argeen jira” jedhe; kitaabichas Shaafaanitti kenne.
16 And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king also word back again, saying, All that was put in the hand of thy servants, have they truly done.
Shaafaanis kitaabicha fuudhee mootichatti geessee akkana jedhe; “Qondaaltonni kee waan ajajaman hunda hojjechaa jiru.
17 And they have taken out the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and have delivered it into the hand of the appointed overseers, and into the hand of those who overlook the workmen.
Maallaqa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa tures baasanii namoota hojii toʼatanii fi hojjettootatti imaanaa kennaniiru.”
18 Then told Shaphan the scribe the king, saying, A book hath Chilkiyahu the priest given me. And Shaphan read in it before the king.
Kana irrattis Shaafaan barreessaan sun, “Hilqiyaa lubichi kitaaba tokko natti kenneera” jedhee mootichatti hime. Shaafaanis fuula mootichaa duratti kitaaba sana dubbise.
19 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.
Mootichis yommuu dubbii Seeraa sana dhagaʼetti uffata isaa tarsaase.
20 And the king commanded Chilkiyahu, and Achikam the son of Shaphan, and 'Abdon the son of Michah, and Shaphan the scribe, and 'Assayah a servant of the king's, saying,
Innis ajaja kana Hilqiyaatti, Ahiiqaam ilma Shaafaanitti, Abdoon ilma Miikaatti, Shaafaan barreessichaa fi Asaayaa tajaajilaa mootichaatti ni kenne:
21 Go ye, inquire of the Lord in my behalf, and in behalf of those that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that hath been found; for great is the fury of the Lord that is poured out against us, because our fathers did not keep the word of the Lord, to do in accordance with all that is written in this book.
“Dhaqaatii waaʼee waan kitaaba argame kana keessatti barreeffamee anaaf, hambaawwan Israaʼel keessaatii fi Yihuudaatiif Waaqayyoon gaafadhaa. Sababii warri nuun duraa dubbii Waaqayyoo hin eeginiif dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo guddaan nutti dhangalaʼeera; isaan akka waan kitaaba kana keessatti barreeffame sana hundaatti hin jiraanneetii.”
22 Then went Chilkiyahu with those whom the king [had appointed], to Chuldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Thoknath, the son of Chassrah, the keeper of the wardrobe; —now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the suburb; —and they spoke to her in that wise.
Hilqiyaa fi warri mootichi isa wajjin erge sun gara Huldaanaa raajittii jechuunis niitii Shaluum ilma Toqeʼaati, ilma Hasraat kan eegduu mana uffataa turte sanatti himuu dhaqan. Isheenis Yerusaalem keessa aanaa lammaffaa keessa jiraatti turte.
23 And she said unto them, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Say unto the man that hath sent you to me,
Isheenis akkana isaaniin jette; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Namicha natti isin erge sanatti akkana jedhaa himaa;
24 Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon its inhabitants, all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah;
‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ani iddoo kanaa fi saba isaatti badiisa jechuunis abaarsa kitaaba fuula mootii Yihuudaa duratti dubbifame sana keessatti barreeffame hunda nan fida.
25 Because they have forsaken me, and have burnt incense unto other gods, in order to provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands: therefore is my fury poured out upon this place, and it shall not be quenched.
Sababii isaan na dhiisanii waaqota biraatiif ixaana aarsuudhaan waan harki isaanii tolche hundaan dheekkamsaaf na kakaasaniif dheekkamsi koo iddoo kana irratti ni dhangalaʼa; hin dhaamus.’
26 And with respect to the king of Judah, who sendeth you to inquire of the Lord, thus shall ye say to him, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Concerning the words which thou hast heard;
Mootii Yihuudaa kan akka isin Waaqayyoon gaafattaniif isin erge sanatti akkana jedhaatii himaa; ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel waaʼee dubbii ati dhageesse sanaa akkana jedha:
27 Because thy heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardst his words against this place, and against its inhabitants, and didst humble thyself before me, and rend thy clothes, and weep before me: I have also truly heard it, saith the Lord.
Sababii ati yeroo waan inni waaʼee iddoo kanaatii fi waaʼee saba isaa waan hamaa dubbate dhageessetti garaan kee tuqamee fuula Waaqaa duratti gad of qabdeef, sababii ati fuula koo duratti gad of qabdee, uffata kee tarsaaftee boosseef ani si dhagaʼeera, jedha Waaqayyo.
28 Behold, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy graves in peace, and thy eyes shall not look on all the evil which I am bringing over this place, and over its inhabitants. And they brought the king word again.
Ani amma abbootii kee biratti walittin si qaba; atis nagumaan awwaalamta. Waan hamaa ani iddoo kanaa fi warra as jiraatanitti fiduuf jiru hunda iji kee hin argu.’” Isaanis deebii ishee fudhatanii gara mootichaatti deebiʼan.
29 And the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Ergasiis mootichi maanguddoota Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem hunda walitti ni waame.
30 And the king went up into the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, from the great to the small; and he read before their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which had been found in the house of the Lord.
Innis namoota Yihuudaa, jiraattota Yerusaalem, lubootaa fi Lewwota wajjin jechuunis nama xinnaa fi guddaa hunda wajjin gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ol baʼe. Dubbii Kitaaba Kakuu kan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti argame sanaa hundas akka isaan dhagaʼanitti dubbiseef.
31 And the king stood up on his stand, and he 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 with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that are written in this book.
Mootichis utubaa isaa bira dhaabatee akka Waaqayyoon duukaa buʼu, akka garaa isaa guutuu fi lubbuu isaa guutuudhaan ajaja isaa, dambiiwwan isaatii fi labsiiwwan isaa eegee, dubbiiwwan kakuu kanneen kitaaba kana keessatti barreeffamaniifis akka ajajamu fuula Waaqayyoo duratti kakuu ni haaromse.
32 And he caused to accede to it every one that was present in Jerusalem and Benjamin. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem acted in accordance with the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
Ergasiis akka namni Yerusaalemii fi Beniyaam keessa jiraatu hundi kakuu galu ni godhe; namoonni Yerusaalemis akkuma kakuu Waaqaa jechuunis Waaqa abbootii isaaniitti waan kana ni godhan.
33 And Josiah removed all the abominations out of all the countries that belonged to the children of Israel, and caused all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve the Lord their God. All his days did they not depart from following the Lord God of their fathers.
Yosiyaasis guutummaa biyya Israaʼel keessaa waaqota jibbisiisoo ni balleesse; akka warri Israaʼel keessa jiran hundinuus Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii waaqeffatan ni godhe. Isaan hamma inni lubbuun jiraatetti Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaanii duukaa buʼuu irraa duubatti hin deebine.
