2 Kings 22

1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.

Josiah he kum rhet a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah sawmthum kum khat manghai. A manu ming tah Bozkath lamkah Adaiah canu Jedidah ni.

2 He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem a saii. A napa David kah longpuei cungkuem dongah pongpa tih banvoei bantang la phael pawh.

3 It happened in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying,

Manghai Josiah kah kum hlai rhet dongla a pha vaengah tah manghai loh BOEIPA im kah cadaek Meshullam koca Azaliah capa Shaphan te a tah tih,

4 "Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may melt down the silver which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered of the people.

“Khosoih puei Hilkiah taengla cet lamtah BOEIPA im kah a khuen tangka te cum sak saeh. Te te cingkhaa aka tawt loh pilnam taeng lamkah ni a coi.

5 Let them deliver it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of the LORD; and let them give it to the workmen who are in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house,

Te phoeiah BOEIPA im kah im bitat aka saii aka hung kut ah pae rhoe pae saeh. Te te BOEIPA im ah bi aka saii taeng neh im puut aka biing rhoek taengah,

6 to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house.

kutthai rhoek ham neh im aka sa rhoek ham khaw, aka biing ham neh thing lai ham khaw, im biing vaengkah lungrhaih lung ham khaw pae saeh,” a ti nah.

7 However there was no accounting made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand; for they dealt faithfully."

Tedae amih khaw uepomnah neh a saii uh dongah amih kut dongah a paek tangka te amih taengah koep toem voel pawh.

8 Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, "I have found the scroll of the law in the house of the LORD." Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it.

Te vaengah khosoih puei Hilkiah loh cadaek Shaphan taengah, “BOEIPA im ah olkhueng cabu ka hmuh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah Hilkiah loh cabu te Shaphan taengah a paek tih a tae.

9 Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, "Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of the LORD."

Te phoeiah cadaek Shaphan te manghai taengla pawk tih manghai te ol a mael. Te vaengah, “Im khuikah a hmuh tangka te na sal rhoek loh a khok uh coeng. Te te BOEIPA im kah bi saii rhoek aka hung kut ah a paek uh coeng,” a ti nah.

10 Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, "Hilkiah the priest has delivered a scroll to me." Shaphan read it before the king.

Cadaek Shaphan te manghai taengla puen tih, “Khosoih Hilkiah loh kai taengah cabu m'paek,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah te te Shaphan loh manghai mikhmuh ah a tae.

11 It happened, when the king had heard the words of the scroll of the law, that he tore his clothes.

Manghai loh olkhueng cabu dongkah ol te a yaak van neh a himbai te a phen coeng.

12 The king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying,

Te dongah manghai loh khosoih Hilkiah, Shaphan capa Ahikam, Mikhaiah capa Akbor, cadaek Shaphan neh manghai kah sal Asaiah te a uen tih,

13 "Go inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this scroll that is found; for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this scroll, to do according to all that which is written concerning us."

“Cet uh, kai ham neh pilnam ham khaw, Judah pum ham khaw BOEIPA te toem uh laeh. Cabu dongkah ol a hmuh dongah he BOEIPA kah kosi tah mamih taengah muep rhong coeng. He cabu olka he a pa rhoek ngai loh uh pawh. Mamih ham a daek tah a cungkuem ah ngai ham om,” a ti nah.

14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked with her.

Te dongah khosoih Hilkiah, Ahikam, Akbor, Shaphan neh Asaiah tah himbai aka khoem Harhas koca Tikvah capa Shallum yuu, tonghmanu Huldah taengla cet uh. Te vaengah anih te Jerusalem kah hnukthoi khopuei ah kho a sak tih amah te a voek uh.

15 She said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: 'Tell the man who sent you to me,

Te vaengah amih te, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai taengla nangmih aka tueih hlang taengah thui pah.

16 "Thus says the LORD, 'Look, I will bring disaster on this place, and on its inhabitants, even all the words of the scroll which the king of Judah has read.

BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai loh he hmuen so neh a khuikah khosa rhoek soah khaw boethae ka khuen coeng. Cabu dongkah ol cungkuem te Judah manghai loh a tae coeng te.

17 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.'"

Kai n'toeng uh tih a kut dongkah bitat cungkuem neh kai veet hamla a tloe pathen taengah phum uh. Te dongah ka kosi loh he hmuen he a hlup tih daeh voel mahpawh.

18 But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus you shall tell him, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: 'Concerning the words which you have heard,

BOEIPA toem hamla nangmih aka tueih Judah manghai te a taengah Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh a thui ol he na yaak bangla thui pah.

19 because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before the LORD, when you heard what I spoke against this place, and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have torn your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard you,' says the LORD.

He hmuen so neh a khuikah khosa soah imsuep neh rhunkhuennah la om sak ham ka cal te na yaak vaengah na thinko phoena tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah na kunyun coeng. Te vaengah na himbai te na phen tih ka mikhmuh ah na rhah khaw ka yaak bal coeng. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.

20 'Therefore look, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, neither shall your eyes see all the disaster which I will bring on this place.'"'" They brought back this message to the king.

Te dongah kai loh nang te na pa rhoek taengla kan humcui sak bitni ne. Na phuel ah ngaimong la na khoem uh vetih he hmuen soah ka khuen boethae cungkuem te na mik loh hmu mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah manghai te ol a mael uh.
