2 Kings 23
1 And the king sends, and they gather all [the] elderly of Judah and Jerusalem to him,
Siangpahrang ni tami a patoun teh, Judah hoi Jerusalem kacuenaw ka kamkhueng awh.
2 and the king goes up to the house of YHWH, and every man of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, from small to great, and he reads in their ears all the words of the Scroll of the Covenant that is found in the house of YHWH.
Siangpahrang teh Judah ram e tami pueng hoi Jerusalem kaawm e pueng hoi, vaihma hoi profetnaw hoi tami kathoung kalen pueng hoi BAWIPA e im lah a cei awh teh, BAWIPA im dawk a hmu awh e a lawkkamnae cauk dawk kaawm e pueng ahnimae hmalah koung ka thai lah a touk pouh.
3 And the king stands by the pillar, and makes the covenant before YHWH, to walk after YHWH, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all the heart, and with all the soul, to establish the words of this covenant that are written on this scroll, and all the people stand in the covenant.
Siangpahrang ni khomkung koe a kangdue teh cauk dawk kaawm e lawkkamnae lawk hah, caksak hane hoi lungthin abuemlahoi muitha abuemlahoi BAWIPA tarawi hane kâpoelawk poe e hoi, a panuesaknaenaw, hoi phunglawknaw tarawi hanelah BAWIPA hmalah a lawk a kam. Tami pueng ni lawkkamnae a caksak awh.
4 And the king commands Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out from the temple of YHWH all the vessels that are made for Ba‘al, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of the heavens, and he burns them at the outside of Jerusalem, in the fields of Kidron, and has carried their ashes to Beth-El.
Vaihma kacue Hilkiah hoi kadounkung vaihmanaw hoi takhang karingkungnaw hah BAWIPA im thung e Baal hoi Asherah hoi kalvan kaawm e hnonaw hanelah a sak e hnopai pueng a tâcokhai hanelah kâ a poe. Jerusalem alawilah Kidron kahrawngum vah hmai a sawi teh hraba hah Bethel lah a ceikhai.
5 And he has caused to cease the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah have appointed (and they make incense in high places, in cities of Judah and outskirts of Jerusalem), and those making incense to Ba‘al, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, and to all the host of the heavens.
Meikaphawk ka bawk e vaihma, Judah siangpahrangnaw ni Judah ram khonaw hmuenrasangnaw hoi Jerusalem tengpam e hmuitui kasawinaw hah a pahnawt awh teh, Baal, kanî, thapa, âsi hane hoi kalvan kaawm e pueng hane hmuitui hmai ouk kasawinaw hah a pahnawt awh.
6 And he brings out the Asherah from the house of YHWH to the outside of Jerusalem, to the Brook of Kidron, and burns it at the Brook of Kidron, and beats it small to dust, and casts its dust on the grave of the sons of the people.
BAWIPA im dawk thing hoi meikaphawk hah Jerusalem kho lawilah Kirdron palang vah a ceikhai awh teh, Kirdron palang dawk hmai a sawi awh. Kanuikapin lah a hruek awh teh kanuikapinnaw hah mathoenaw e tangkom dawk a pasa awh.
7 And he breaks down the houses of the whoremongers that [are] in the house of YHWH, where the women are weaving houses for the Asherah.
Hahoi thing meikaphawk, hni kakawngkung napuinaw a onae hoi BAWIPA im napuitongpanaw onae imnaw a raphoe awh.
8 And he brings in all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiles the high places where the priests have made incense, from Geba to Beer-Sheba, and has broken down the high places of the gates that [are] at the opening of the Gate of Joshua, head of the city, that [is] on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city;
Vaihma pueng Judah khonaw koehoi a kaw sak awh teh, ahnimouh ni hmuitui hmaisawinae hmuenrasangnaw hah Geba hoi Beersheba totouh a khin sak awh teh, Jerusalem e khobawi Joshua e longkha avoilae kâennae longkha pueng be a raphoe awh.
9 only, the priests of the high places do not come up to the altar of YHWH in Jerusalem, but they have eaten unleavened things in the midst of their brothers.
Hmuenrasang koe e vaihmanaw hah Jerusalem BAWIPA thuengnae khoungroe koe cet awh hoeh ei teh, a hmaunawnghanaw koe tonphuenhoehe ouk a ca awh.
10 And he has defiled Topheth that [is] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, so that no man causes his son and his daughter to pass over through fire to Molech.
Apinihai amamae a canaw hah Molek cathut koe hmai hoi a thueng awh hoeh nahan, Hinnom e a ca tanghling dawk kaawm e Topheth hai a khin sak awh.
11 And he causes to cease the horses that the kings of Judah have given to the sun from the entering in of the house of YHWH, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech the eunuch, that [is] in the outskirts; and he has burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
BAWIPA im alawilae siangpahrang karingkung Nathan Molek im teng e Judah siangpahrangnaw ni kanî koe a poe awh e marangnaw hah he a takhoe pouh teh, kanî rangleng hah hmai koung a sawi awh.
12 And the altars that [are] on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, that the kings of Judah made, and the altars that Manasseh made in the two courts of the house of YHWH, the king has broken down, and removes from there, and has cast their dust into the Brook of Kidron.
Ahaz im a tungtengtoe e dawk a hruek e khoungroenaw hoi Manasseh ni BAWIPA im thongma kahni touh koe a sak e khoungroenaw hah siangpahrang ni he a raphoe teh Kidron palang dawkvah a tâkhawng.
13 And the high places that [are] on the front of Jerusalem, that [are] on the right of the Mount of Corruption, that Solomon king of Israel had built to Ashtoreth, abomination of the Zidonians, and Chemosh, abomination of Moab, and to Milcom, abomination of the sons of Ammon, the king has defiled.
Isarel siangpahrang Solomon ni, Jerusalem kanîtholah a raphoe e aranglae mon dawk panuettho e Sidon cathut Ashtoreth, panuettho e Moab cathut, Kemosh thoseh panuettho e Ammon cathut Milkom hanelah a hmuenrasangnaw hah siangpahrang ni a khin sak.
14 And he has broken the standing-pillars in pieces, and cuts down the Asherim, and fills their place with bones of men;
Meikaphawknaw hah rekrek a hem teh, thing meikaphawknaw be a tâtueng hnukkhu, hote hmuen koe tami hrunaw hoi akawi sak.
15 and also the altar that [is] in Beth-El, the high place that Jeroboam son of Nebat made, by which he made Israel sin, both that altar and the high place he has broken down, and burns the high place—he has beat it small to dust, and has burned the Asherah.
Hothloilah Isarel ka payon sakkung Nebat capa Jeroboam ni Bethel vah khoungroe hoi a hmuenrasangnaw hoi khoungroe hai a raphoe pouh. Hmuenrasang hmai a sawi teh kanuikapin lah koung a hruek teh thingmeikaphawk hai hmai a sawi.
16 And Josiah turns, and sees the graves that [are] there on the mountain, and sends and takes the bones out of the graves, and burns [them] on the altar, and defiles it, according to the word of YHWH that the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.
Josiah teh a kamlang teh mon dawk e phuen hah a hmu, hottelah phuen e tami hrunaw hah a la sak teh, Cathut e tami ni a pâpho e BAWIPA e lawk patetlah khoungroe dawk hmai a sawi teh, a khin sak.
17 And he says, “What [is] this sign that I see?” And the men of the city say to him, “The grave of the man of God who has come from Judah, and proclaims these things that you have done concerning the altar of Beth-El.”
Josiah ni hai kai ni ka hmu e noutnae talung teh, apie phuen namaw telah ati. Cathut e tami Judah ram lahoi ka tho e Bethel vah khoungroe dawk na sak e hno ka pâpho e phuen doeh telah a dei awh.
18 And he says, “Leave him alone, let no man touch his bones”; and they let his bones escape with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.
Siangpahrang ni apinihai a hru hah puen hanh naseh, ahnie a hrunaw hah Samaria lahoi ka tho e profetnaw e a hrunaw hoi kâbet hoeh.
19 And also all the houses of the high places that [are] in the cities of Samaria, that the kings of Israel made to provoke to anger, Josiah has turned aside, and does to them according to all the deeds that he did in Beth-El.
Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA lungkhuek sak awh teh, a sak awh e Samaria ram dawk e hmuenrasangnaw pueng Josiah ni koung a takhoe teh, Bethel vah a sak e patetlah a sak pouh.
20 And he slays all the priests of the high places who [are] there by the altars, and burns the bones of man on them, and turns back to Jerusalem.
Hottelah haw e hmuenrasang e vaihmanaw pueng hah khoungroe van a thei teh, haw vah tami hru a pâeng teh Jerusalem lah bout a ban.
21 And the king commands the whole of the people, saying, “Make a Passover to your God YHWH, as it is written on this scroll of the covenant.”
Hahoi siangpahrang ni tami pueng koe, hete lawkkamnae cauk dawk kaawm e patetlah BAWIPA, nangmae Cathut hanlah ceitakhai pawito awh telah kâ a poe.
22 Surely there has not been made like this Passover from the days of the ones judging who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Judah;
Isarel lawkcengkungnaw ni lawk a ceng totouh hoi, Isarel siangpahrangnaw ni a uknae thung pueng hoi, Judah siangpahrang ni a uknae thung pueng haiyah ceitakhai pawito awh boihoeh.
23 but in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover has been made to YHWH in Jerusalem.
Josiah siangpahrang a bawinae kum 18 navah, hote ceitakhai pawi teh Jerusalem vah BAWIPA hanelah a tawn awh lah ao.
24 And also, those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah, and in Jerusalem, Josiah has put away, in order to establish the words of the Law that are written on the scroll that Hilkiah the priest has found in the house of YHWH.
BAWIPA im dawk e vaihma Hilkiah ni, a hmu e cauk dawkvah kâlawk hah caksak nahanelah, kahraithawtawknae hoi taânsinnae hoi, meikaphawk hoi, cathut meikaphawknaw, Judah ram hoi Isarel kho e hno panuettho a hmu awh e pueng hah Josiah ni koung a raphoe.
25 And like him there has not been before him a king who turned back to YHWH with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses, and after him there has none risen like him.
Mosi e kâlawk pueng patetlah lungthin abuemlah, muitha hoi thaonae abuemlahoi BAWIPA koe lah a kamlang teh, ahni patetlah ahni hoehnahlan siangpahrang apihai awm hoeh. Ahni hnukkhu hai ahni patetlah apihai awm mahoeh toe.
26 Only, YHWH has not turned back from the fierceness of His great anger with which His anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh provoked him,
Hatei, BAWIPA ni puenghoi a lungkhueknae Manasseh ni a lungkhueksaknae naw pueng kecu dawkvah, Judahnaw taranlahoi kâan e a lungkhueknae hmai teh, roum thai kalawn hoeh.
27 and YHWH says, “I also turn Judah aside from my presence, as I turned Israel aside, and I have rejected this city that I have chosen—Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My Name is there.”
BAWIPA ni Isarel ka puen e patetlah Judah hai ka hmuhoehnae koe ka puen van han. Hete ka rawi e Jerusalem roeroe haiyah, haw vah ka min ao han ka tie im hah ka puen han, telah a ti.
28 And the rest of the matters of Josiah and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Hottelah Josiah tawksaknae thung dawk kaawm rae naw hoi, a tawk pueng teh Judah siangpahrangnaw setouknae cauk dawk a kâ thut mahoeh maw.
29 In his days Pharaoh Necho king of Egypt has come up against the king of Asshur, by the Euphrates River, and King Josiah goes out to meet him, and [Pharaoh Necho] puts him to death in Megiddo when he sees him.
Siangpahrang lah ao navah, Izip siangpahrang Faro Neko teh, Assiria siangpahrang tuk hanelah, Euphrates palang vah a ceitakhang. Siangpahrang Josiah ni ahni a tuk teh ahnimouh ni ahni teh a hmu awh tahma vah, Megiddo vah a thei awh.
30 And his servants cause him to ride dying from Megiddo, and bring him to Jerusalem, and bury him in his own grave, and the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and anoint him, and cause him to reign instead of his father.
A taminaw ni Megiddo hoi a ro hah rangleng hoi a ceikhai awh teh, Jerusalem vah a kâenkhai awh teh amae tangkom dawk a pakawp awh. Hottelah hote khonaw ni Josiah capa Jehoahaz teh a ceikhai awh teh, satui a awi awh teh, a na pa yueng lah a bawi sak awh.
31 Jehoahaz [is] a son of twenty-three years in his reigning, and he has reigned three months in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,
Jehoahaz teh siangpahrang a tawk navah, kum 23 touh a pha. Jerusalem vah thapa yung thum touh a bawi. A manu min teh Hamutal, Libnah kho e Jeremiah canu doeh.
32 and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his fathers did,
A na mintoenaw ni ouk a sak awh e patetlah BAWIPA mithmu vah thoenae hah ouk a sak.
33 and Pharaoh Necho binds him in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, from reigning in Jerusalem, and he puts a fine on the land—one hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
Faro Neko ni hote siangpahrang Jerusalem kho a uk thai hoeh nahanelah, Hamath ram e Riblah kho vah thongim a pabo. Hahoi Judah ram vah a pabo. Hahoi Judah ram vah ngun talen 100 touh hoi sui talen buet touh imhu a cawng sak.
34 And Pharaoh Necho causes Eliakim son of Josiah to reign instead of his father Josiah, and turns his name to Jehoiakim, and he has taken Jehoahaz away, and he comes to Egypt, and dies there.
Hahoi Faro Neko ni Josiah capa ELiakim hah a na pa Josiah yueng lah a bawi sak. A min hah Jehoiakim telah a thung pouh. Jehoiahaz teh Izip vah a ceikhai awh teh haw vah a due.
35 And Jehoiakim has given the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; only he valued the land to give the silver by the command of Pharaoh; from each, according to his valuation, he exacted the silver and the gold, from the people of the land, to give to Pharaoh Necho.
Jehoiakim ni Faro hah ngun tangka hoi sui a poe teh, ahnimae ram teh Faro ni kâ a poe e patetlah tangka lah poe hane tamuk a cawng van. Faro Neko koe poe hanlah, tami pueng rawng hanelah a khoe pouh e patetlah hote ram thung e khocanaw hah sui hoi tangka a rawng sak awh.
36 Jehoiakim [is] a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned eleven years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah,
Jehoiakim teh siangpahrang a tawk navah, kum 25 touh a pha. Jerusalem vah kum 11 touh a bawi. A manu min teh Zebudah Ramah kho e Pedaiah canu doeh.
37 and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his fathers did.
Hahoi a na mintoenaw ni a sak awh e patetlah BAWIPA mithmu vah thoenae hah a sak.
