2 Chronicles 34
1 Josiah [is] a son of eight years in his reigning, and he has reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem,
Josiah a manghai vaengah kum rhet lo ca pueng tih Jerusalem ah kum sawmthum kum khat manghai.
2 and he does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, and walks in the ways of his father David, and has not turned aside [to] the right or left.
Tedae BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem a saii phoeiah a napa David kah longpuei ah a pongpa dongah banvoei bantang la phael pawh.
3 And in the eighth year of his reign (and he [is] yet a youth), he has begun to seek for the God of his father David, and in the twelfth year he has begun to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherim, and the carved images, and the molten images.
A manghai hang vaengah kum rhet lo tih amah camoe pueng dae a napa David kah Pathen te toem hamla a tong. Kum hlai nit vaengah Judah neh Jerusalem te caihcil hamla a tong tih hmuensang neh Asherah, mueidaep neh mueihlawn khaw a khoe.
4 And they break down the altars of the Ba‘alim before him, and he has cut down the images that [are] on high above them, and the Asherim, and the carved images, and the molten images, he has broken and beaten small, and strews [them] on the surface of the graves of those sacrificing to them,
Baal rhoek kah hmueihtuk te anih mikhmuh ah a palet uh tih a so hang kah bunglawn neh Asherah te khaw a top. Mueidaep neh mueihlawn te a dae tih a tip sak. Te phoeiah tah te rhoek taengkah aka nawn rhoek kah phuel hman ah a haeh.
5 and he has burned the bones of the priests on their altars, and cleanses Judah and Jerusalem,
Khosoih rhoek kah a rhuh te khaw amah hmueihtuk, hmueihtuk ah a hoeh tih Judah neh Jerusalem te a caihcil.
6 and in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, with their tools, all around.
Manasseh khopuei rhoek neh Ephraim ah khaw, Simeon neh tlang kah Naphtali khaw, a kaepvai kah amih im te a cunghang neh a saii pah.
7 And he breaks down the altars and the Asherim, and he has beaten down the carved images very small, and he has cut down all the images in all the land of Israel, and turns back to Jerusalem.
Hmueihtuk te a palet uh tih Asherah neh mueidaep te khaw a tip la a phop. Israel khohmuen tom kah bunglawn boeih te a top phoeiah Jerusalem la mael.
8 And in the eighteenth year of his reign, to purify the land and the house, he has sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah head of the city, and Joah son of Johaz the remembrancer, to strengthen the house of his God YHWH.
A manghai te kum hlai rhet vaengah tah khohmuen neh im caihcil hamla Azaliah capa Shaphan a tueih. A Pathen BOEIPA im aka duel ham te khocil aka khoem Jehoahaz capa Joah neh khopuei mangpa Maaseiah te a khueh.
9 And they come to Hilkiah the high priest, and they give the money that is brought into the house of God, that the Levites, keeping the threshold, have gathered from the hand of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah, and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Te phoeiah khosoih puei Hilkiah taengla cet uh tih Pathen im la aka pawk tangka te a paek uh. Te te cingkhaa aka tawt Levi rhoek loh Manasseh, Ephraim kut lamkah neh Israel kah a meet boeih taeng lamkah, Judah boeih neh Benjamin taeng lamkah ni a coi. Te phoeiah khosa rhoek neh Jerusalem la mael uh.
10 and they give [it] into the hand of the workmen, those appointed over the house of YHWH, and they give it [to] the workmen who are working in the house of YHWH, to repair and to strengthen the house;
Te phoeiah tah BOEIPA im kah bitat saii a khueh kut ah a paek uh. Te te bitat aka saii khaw, BOEIPA im aka saii khaw, im tlaihvong ham neh duel vaengkah ham khaw a paek uh.
11 and they give [it] to craftsmen and to builders to buy hewn stones, and wood for couplings and for beams [for] the houses that the kings of Judah had destroyed.
Kutthai taeng neh im aka sa taengah khaw, lungrhaih lung neh thing aka lai ham khaw, hnarhui neh Judah manghai rhoek loh a phae tangtae im a tung nah ham khaw a paek uh.
12 And the men are working faithfully in the business, and over them are appointed Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathite, to overlook; and of the Levites, everyone understanding about instruments of song,
Hlang rhoek long khaw bitat dongah uepomnah neh a saii uh. Amih soah te Merari koca lamkah Levi Jahath neh Obadiah, aka mawt ham te Kohathi koca lamkah Zekhariah neh Meshullam, lumlaa tumbael aka yakming Levi boeih te khaw a thum sak.
13 and over the burden-bearers, and overseers of everyone doing work for every service; and of the Levites [are] scribes, and officers, and gatekeepers.
Hnophuei soah khaw, thothuengnah neh thothuengnah ham bitat aka saii boeih soah aka mawt la om uh. Levi lamkah rhoek tah cadaek, rhoiboei neh thoh tawt la om uh.
14 And in their bringing out the money that is brought into the house of YHWH, Hilkiah the priest has found the Scroll of the Law of YHWH by the hand of Moses,
BOEIPA im la aka pawk tangka te a loh uh vaengah khosoih Hilkiah loh Moses kut dong lamkah BOEIPA olkhueng cabu te a hmuh.
15 and Hilkiah answers and says to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found [the] Scroll of the Law in the house of YHWH”; and Hilkiah gives the scroll to Shaphan,
Hilkiah loh cadaek Shaphan te a voek tih, “BOEIPA im ah olkhueng cabu ka hmuh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah Hilkiah loh cabu te Shaphan taengah a paek.
16 and Shaphan brings in the scroll to the king, and brings the king back word again, saying, “All that has been given into the hand of your servants they are doing,
Shaphan loh cabu te manghai taengla a khuen. Manghai te ol koep a mael tih, “Na sal rhoek kut dongah na paek bangla boeih a saii uh.
17 and they pour out the money that is found in the house of YHWH, and give it into the hand of those appointed and into the hands of those doing the work.”
BOEIPA im ah a hmuh tangka te a khok uh coeng. Te te aka soep kut dong neh bitat aka saii kut ah a paek uh,” a ti nah.
18 And Shaphan the scribe declares [it] to the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has given a scroll to me”; and Shaphan reads in it before the king.
Te phoeiah cadaek Shaphan te manghai taengla puen tih, “Khosoih Hilkiah loh kai taengah cabu m'paek,” a ti nah tih te te Shaphan loh manghai mikhmuh ah a tae.
19 And it comes to pass, at the king’s hearing the words of the Law, that he tears his garments,
Tedae manghai loh olkhueng ol te a yaak vaengah a himbai te a phen.
20 and the king commands Hilkiah, and Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Abdon son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah, servant of the king, saying,
Te dongah manghai loh Hilkiah neh Shaphan capa Ahikam, Maikah capa Abdon, cadaek Shaphan, manghai kah sal Asaiah te a uen.
21 “Go, seek YHWH for me, and for him who is left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the scroll that is found, for great [is] the fury of YHWH that is poured on us, because that our fathers did not keep the word of YHWH to do according to all that is written on this scroll.”
Amih te, “Cet uh, kai ham khaw, Israel khui neh Judah khuikah aka sueng rhoek ham khaw BOEIPA te toem uh. Cabu dongkah aka thoeng ol bangla mamih soah aka bo BOEIPA kah kosi he len coeng. Te khaw he cabu dongkah a daek bang boeih la vai hamla a pa rhoek loh BOEIPA ol he a ngaithuen pawt dongah ni,” a ti nah.
22 And Hilkiah goes, and they of the king, to Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum son of Tikvath, son of Hasrah, keeper of the garments, and she is dwelling in Jerusalem in the Second [Quarter], and they speak to her thus.
Te phoeiah Hilkiah neh manghai taengkah rhoek te Himbai aka khoem Hasrah koca Tikvah capa Shallum yuu, tonghmanu Huldah taengla cet. Anih te Jerusalem kah a hnukthoi ah kho a sak tih tahae kah bangla amah taengah a thui uh.
23 And she says to them, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Say to the man who has sent you to me,
Te vaengah amih te, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai taengla nangmih aka tueih hlang taengah khaw thui uh.
24 Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am bringing in calamity on this place and on its inhabitants, all the execrations that are written on the scroll that they read before the king of Judah,
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai loh he hmuen so neh a khuikah khosa rhoek soah Judah manghai mikhmuh ah a tae bangla cabu khuikah a daek thaephoeinah cungkuem neh yoethaenah ka thoeng sak coeng.
25 because that they have forsaken Me, and make incense to other gods, so as to provoke Me with all the works of their hands, and My fury is poured out on this place, and it is not quenched.
Kai n'hnawt uh tih a phum khaw a kut dongkah khoboe cungkuem neh kai veet hamla pathen tloe rhoek taengah a phum uh. Te dongah ka kosi loh he hmuen he a bo thil vetih daeh mahpawh.
26 And to the king of Judah who is sending you to inquire of YHWH, thus you say to him, Thus said YHWH God of Israel, whose words you have heard:
BOEIPA toem hamla nangmih aka tueih Judah manghai te khaw amah taengah he he thui pah. Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Tekah ol te na yaak coeng.
27 Because your heart [is] tender, and you are humbled before God in your hearing His words concerning this place and concerning its inhabitants, and are humbled before Me, and tear your garments, and weep before Me, indeed, I have also heard [you]—a declaration of YHWH.
Na thinko phoena tih Pathen mikhmuh ah na kunyun coeng. Amah ol te he hmuen ham neh amah khosa rhoek ham na yaak. Te vaengah ka mikhmuh ah khaw na kunyun. Na himbai te na phen tih ka mikhmuh ah na rhah vaengah khaw ka yaak. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
28 Behold, I am gathering you to your fathers, and you have been gathered to your graves in peace, and your eyes do not look on all the calamity that I am bringing on this place and on its inhabitants”; and they bring the king back word.
Kai loh nang te na pa rhoek taengla kang khoem sak vetih namah phuel ah ngaimong la n'up uh bitni ne. He hmuen so neh amah khosa rhoek soah yoethae cungkuem ka khuen te na mik loh hmu mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te dongah manghai te ol a mael uh.
29 And the king sends and gathers all the elderly of Judah and Jerusalem,
Te phoeiah manghai loh Judah neh Jerusalem kah a hamca boeih te a tah tih a coi.
30 and the king goes up to the house of YHWH, and [to] every man of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, even all the people, from great even to small, and he reads in their ears all the words of the scroll of the covenant that is found in the house of YHWH.
Manghai neh Judah hlang boeih khaw, Jerusalem kah khosa rhoek khaw, khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek khaw, pilnam boeih khaw a kangham lamloh tanoe hil khaw BOEIPA im la cet. Te phoeiah tah amih hna ah BOEIPA im kah a hmuh paipi cabu dongkah ol boeih te a tae pah.
31 And the king stands on his station, and makes the covenant before YHWH to walk after YHWH, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all his heart and with all his soul, to do the words of the covenant that are written on this scroll.
Manghai te amah paihmuen ah pai tih BOEIPA hnukah pongpa ham neh a olpaek neh a olphong khaw, a oltlueh te a thinko boeih neh, a hinglu boeih neh ngaithuen ham, te cabu dongah a daek paipi ol te vai hamla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah paipi te a saii.
32 And he presents everyone who is found in Jerusalem and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem do according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
Jerusalem neh Benjamin kah a hmuh boeih taengah khaw a cak sak. Te dongah Jerusalem kah khosa rhoek long khaw a napa rhoek kah Pathen taengah Pathen kah paipi bangla a saii uh.
33 And Josiah turns aside all the abominations out of all the lands that the sons of Israel have, and causes everyone who is found in Israel to serve, to serve their God YHWH; all his days they did not turn aside from after YHWH, God of their fathers.
Josiah loh tueilaehkoi boeih te tah Israel ca rhoek kah khohmuen tom lamloh a khoe. Israel kah aka phoe boeih te khaw amamih kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah thothueng sak ham tho a thueng. Anih tue khuiah tah a napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA hnuk lamloh nong uh pawh.
