< 2 Chronicles 34 >
1 Josiah [is] a son of eight years in his reigning, and he has reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem,
Josiah sì jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́jọ nígbà tí ó jẹ ọba, ó sì dí ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mọ́kànlélọ́gbọ̀n.
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.
Ó sì ṣe ohun tí ó dára ní ojú Olúwa, ó sì rìn ọ̀nà baba rẹ̀ Dafidi, kò sì yà sí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún tàbí òsì.
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.
Ní ọdún kẹjọ ìjọba rẹ̀, nígbà tí ó sì wà ní ọ̀dọ́mọdé, ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í wá ojú Ọlọ́run baba Dafidi. Ní ọdún kejìlá. Ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí fọ Juda àti Jerusalẹmu mọ́ kúrò ní ibi gíga rẹ̀, ère òrìṣà Aṣerah, àti ère yíyá àti ère dídà.
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,
Lábẹ́ àpẹẹrẹ àwọn pẹpẹ Baali ni a yí lulẹ̀, ó sì fọ́ àwọn ère sí wẹ́wẹ́, ó run àwọn pẹpẹ tí ó wà lórí rẹ̀, wọ́n sì fọ́ túútúú, àwọn ère Aṣerah àti àwọn òrìṣà. Èyí tí ó fọ́ wọn sì lúúlúú, ó sì gbọ̀n wọ́n sí orí isà òkú àti àwọn tí ó ń rú ẹbọ sí wọn.
5 and he has burned the bones of the priests on their altars, and cleanses Judah and Jerusalem,
Ó sì sun àwọn egungun àwọn àlùfáà lórí pẹpẹ wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni ó sì wẹ Juda àti Jerusalẹmu mọ́.
6 and in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, with their tools, all around.
Ní ìlú Manase, Efraimu àti Simeoni, àní títí ó fi dé Naftali, àti nínú àwọn, ó tú ilé wọn yíkákiri.
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.
Ó sì wó pẹpẹ àti ère Aṣerah lulẹ̀ àti àwọn ère yíyá àti àwọn òrìṣà, ó sì gùn ó sì ti ké gbogbo àwọn ère orí pẹpẹ lulẹ̀ ní gbogbo àyíká Israẹli. Lẹ́yìn náà ó padà sí Jerusalẹmu.
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.
Ní ọdún kejìdínlógún ìjọba Josiah ni a ti wẹ ilẹ̀ náà mọ́ àti ilé Olúwa, ó sì rán Ṣafani ọmọ Asalia àti Maaseiah olórí ìlú náà, pẹ̀lú Joah, ọmọ Joahasi, akọ̀wé, láti tún ilé Olúwa Ọlọ́run ṣe.
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,
Wọ́n sì lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Hilkiah olórí àlùfáà, ó sì fún un ní owó náà tí ó mú wá sí inú ilé Ọlọ́run, ti àwọn ọmọ Lefi ẹni tí ó jẹ́ aṣọ́bodè ti gbà láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn Manase Efraimu àti láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ìyókù Israẹli àti ọ̀dọ̀ gbogbo ènìyàn Juda àti Benjamini wọ́n sì padà sí Jerusalẹmu.
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;
Nígbà náà ni wọn sì fi le àwọn tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ ilé lọ́wọ́, àwọn tí ń ṣe alábojútó iṣẹ́ ilé Olúwa. Àwọn ọkùnrin yìí sì san owó fún àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ tí ó ń túnṣe, tí wọ́n sì ń ṣiṣẹ́ ní ilé Olúwa.
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.
Wọ́n sì tún fi owó fún àwọn oníṣọ̀nà àti àwọn olùkọ́lé láti ra òkúta gbígbẹ́ àti ìtì igi fún ìsopọ̀ àti igi rírẹ́ fún ìkọ́lé tí ọba Juda ti gbà láti túnṣe.
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,
Àwọn ọkùnrin náà ṣe iṣẹ́ náà pẹ̀lú òtítọ́, láti darí wọn ní Jahati àti Obadiah, àwọn ọmọ Lefi láti Merari, àti Sekariah àti Meṣullamu, sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti Kohati àwọn ọmọ Lefi gbogbo tí ó ní ọgbọ̀n ohun èlò orin.
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.
Wọ́n sì ní olórí àwọn aláàárù àti àwọn alábojútó gbogbo àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ láti ibi iṣẹ́ sí ibi iṣẹ́, díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọmọ Lefi sì ní akọ̀wé, olùtọ́jú àti olùṣọ́nà.
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,
Nígbà tí wọ́n mú owó náà tí wọ́n mú wá sí ilé Olúwa, Hilkiah àlùfáà sì rí ìwé òfin Olúwa tí a ti fi fún un láti ọwọ́ Mose.
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 sì wí fún Ṣafani akọ̀wé pé, “Èmi ti rí ìwé òfin nínú ilé Olúwa.” Ó sì fi fún Ṣafani.
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,
Nígbà náà Ṣafani sì mú ìwé náà lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba ó sì ròyìn fún un. “Àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ ń ṣe gbogbo nǹkan tí a ti fi lé wọn lọ́wọ́.
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.”
Wọ́n ti san owó náà tí ó wà nínú ilé Olúwa wọ́n sì ti fi lé àwọn alábojútó lọ́wọ́ àti àwọn òṣìṣẹ́.”
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.
Nígbà náà Ṣafani akọ̀wé sì sọ fún ọba, “Hilkiah àlùfáà ti fún mi ní ìwé.” Ṣafani sì kà níwájú ọba.
19 And it comes to pass, at the king’s hearing the words of the Law, that he tears his garments,
Nígbà tí ọba sì gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ òfin, ó sì fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya.
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,
Ó sì pa àṣẹ yìí fún Hilkiah, Ahikamu ọmọ Ṣafani, Abdoni ọmọ Mika, Ṣafani akọ̀wé àti Asaiah ìránṣẹ́ ọba.
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.”
“Ẹ lọ kí ẹ lọ béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa fún mi nípa àwọn ìyókù Israẹli àti Juda nípa ohun tí wọ́n kọ sínú ìwé yìí tí a ti rí. Títóbi ni ìbínú Olúwa tí ó ti jáde sí orí wa nítorí àwọn baba wa kò ti pa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa mọ́, wọn kò sì tí ì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí i gbogbo èyí tí a kọ sínú ìwé yìí.”
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.
Hilkiah àti àwọn ènìyàn tí ọba yàn tọ Hulda wòlíì obìnrin láti ba sọ̀rọ̀, ẹni tí ó jẹ́ aya Ṣallumu ọmọ Tokhati tí a tún ń pè ní Tikfa, ọmọ Harhasi, olùtọ́jú ibi ìkáṣọsí. Ó sì ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu, ní ìhà kejì.
23 And she says to them, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Say to the man who has sent you to me,
Ó sì wí fún wọn wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli ti sọ, sọ fún àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó rán ọ sí mi pé,
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,
‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, “Èmi yóò sì mú ibi wá sí ìhín yìí àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ gbogbo àní ègún tí a kọ sínú ìwé tí wọ́n ti kà níwájú ọba Juda.”
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.
Nítorí tí wọ́n ti kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀ wọ́n sì ti sun tùràrí sí ọlọ́run mìíràn wọ́n sì ti mú mi bínú pẹ̀lú gbogbo ohun tí wọ́n ti fi ọwọ́ wọn ṣe, ìbínú yóò tú jáde wá sórí ibí yìí, a kì yóò sì paná rẹ̀.’
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:
Sọ fún ọba Juda, ẹni tí ó rán yín láti béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa ti sọ, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, sọ nípa ọ̀rọ̀ wọ́n nì tí ìwọ gbọ́.
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.
Nítorí ọkàn rẹ̀ dúró, ìwọ sì rẹ ara rẹ sílẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa nígbà tí ó gbọ́ ohun tí ó sọ lórí ibí yìí àti ènìyàn rẹ, nítorí ìwọ rẹ ara rẹ sílẹ̀ níwájú mi tí o sì fa aṣọ rẹ ya, tí o sì lọ níwájú mi. Èmi ti gbọ́ tìrẹ ni Olúwa wí.
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.
Nísinsin yìí, Èmi ó kó ọ jọ pọ̀ sọ́dọ̀ àwọn baba rẹ, a ó sì sin ọ́ ní àlàáfíà. Ojú rẹ kò sì ní rí gbogbo ibi tí èmi ó mú wá sórí ibí yìí àti lórí àwọn tí ń gbé ibẹ̀.’” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n mú ìdáhùn rẹ̀ padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba.
29 And the king sends and gathers all the elderly of Judah and Jerusalem,
Nígbà náà ni ọba sì pe gbogbo àwọn àgbàgbà Juda jọ àti Jerusalẹmu.
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.
Ó gòkè lọ sí ilé Olúwa pẹ̀lú àwọn ọkùnrin Juda, àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu, àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn Lefi—gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn láti ibi kéékèèké sí ńlá. Ó kà á sí etí ìgbọ́ ọ wọn, gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó wà nínú ìwé májẹ̀mú, tí a ti rí nínú ilé Olúwa.
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.
Ọba sì dúró ní ipò rẹ̀ ó sì tún májẹ̀mú dá níwájú Olúwa, láti tẹ̀lé Olúwa àti láti pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́, àti ẹ̀rí rẹ̀ àti àṣẹ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn rẹ̀ àti gbogbo àyà rẹ̀ àti láti pa ọ̀rọ̀ májẹ̀mú tí a kọ sí inú ìwé yìí.
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.
Nígbà náà, ó sì mú kí gbogbo ènìyàn ní Jerusalẹmu àti Benjamini dúró nínú ẹ̀rí fún ara wọn, àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu ṣe èyí gẹ́gẹ́ bi májẹ̀mú Ọlọ́run, Ọlọ́run baba ńlá wọn.
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.
