2 Kings 23

1 Then the king sent, —and there were gathered unto him, all the elders of Judah, and Jerusalem;

Eka ruoth noluongo jodongo duto mag Juda kod Jerusalem.

2 and the king went up to the house of Yahweh, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great, —and he read in their ears, all the words of the book of the covenant, which had been found in the house of Yahweh.

Nodhi nyaka e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ka en gi jo-Juda, jo-Jerusalem, jodolo, jonabi kaachiel gi ji duto momewo kod ma jochan. Nosomonegi weche duto mane ondiki e Kitabu mar Singruok, mane osenwangʼ e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ka giwinjo.

3 And the king took his stand by the pillar, and solemnised a covenant before Yahweh—to follow Yahweh, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes, with all [their] heart and with all [their] soul, to confirm the words of this covenant, written in this book. And all the people took their stand in the covenant.

Ruoth nochungʼ e bath siro kendo noketo winjruok mane oselal obedo kare e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kosingore ni enoluw Jehova Nyasaye kendo norit chikene gi wechene kod buchene gi chunye duto, mondo omi oritgo weche mag singruok mondiki e kitabuni. Omiyo ji duto noyie gi singruogno.

4 Then the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the entrance-hall, to bring forth, out of the temple of Yahweh, all the vessels that had been made for Baal and for the Sacred Stem, and for all the army of the heavens, —and he burned them up outside Jerusalem, in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them to Bethel;

Ruoth nogolo chik ne Hilkia jadolo maduongʼ, gi jodolo maluwe kod jorit dhoot mondo ogol oko gik moko duto mopa milamogo Baal gi siro mar Ashera kod kit gik moko manie kor polo e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Ne owangʼogi e bath Jerusalem e paw aora Kidron mi otero buchgi Bethel.

5 and he put down the idol-priests, whom the kings of Judah had appointed, so that incense might be burned in the high places, in the cities of Judah, and round about Jerusalem, —them also that burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the constellations, and to all the army of the heavens;

Ne oriembo jodolo mag nyiseche manono mane ruodhi mag Juda oketo mondo owangʼ ubani kuonde motingʼore gi malo mag miech Juda kod mago molworo Jerusalem kendo noriemb joma ne wangʼo ubani ne Baal, gi chiengʼ, dwe kod sulwe.

6 and he brought forth the Sacred Stem out of the house of Yahweh, outside Jerusalem, into the Kidron ravine, and burned it in the Kidron ravine, and crushed it to powder, —and cast the powder upon the graves of the sons of the people;

Ne ogolo siro mar Ashera e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye mi otere e bath Jerusalem e holo mar aora Kidron kendo nowangʼe kanyo. Norege molokore buru mi okiro burugo ewi liete joma odhier.

7 and he brake down the houses of the male devotees, which were in the house of Yahweh, —where the women did weave houses to the Sacred Stem;

Bende nomuko ut jochode machwo mane ni e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo ma en kama mon ne chweyoe pasia mag Ashera.

8 and be brought in all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where, the priests, had burned incense, from Geba unto Beer-sheba, —and brake down the high places of the gates, that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua, the governor of the city, which were on one’s left hand, in the gate of the city;

Josia nokelo jodolo duto moa e miech Juda kendo noketho kuonde motingʼore gi malo mane jodologo wangʼoe ubani chakre Geba nyaka Bersheba. Ne omuko gik mochwe mag lemo e dhorangeye kaachiel gi mago mane ni e dhoranga Joshua, jatend dala maduongʼ, mane nitie e bat koracham kidonjo e dala.

9 howbeit, the priests of the high places came not up unto the altar of Yahweh, in Jerusalem, save only that they did eat unleavened bread in the midst of their brethren;

Kata obedo ni jodolo mag kuonde lemo motingʼore gi malo ne ok ti e kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye man Jerusalem, to ne oyienegi mana chamo makati ma ok oketie thowi gi jodolo wetegi mamoko.

10 and he defiled Topheth, which was in the valley of the son of Hinnom, —so that no man might cause his son or his daughter to pass through the fire unto Molech;

Ne oketho Tofeth mane ni e holo man Ben Hinom, mondo omi kik ngʼato ne ti kode kuom timo misango mar wuode kata nyare e mach ne Molek.

11 and he did away with the horses, which the kings of Judah had devoted to the sun, at the entrance of the house of Yahweh, near the chamber of Nathan-melech the courtier, which was in the suburbs, also, the chariots of the sun, burned he with fire;

Nogolo kido mar farese mane ruodhi mag Juda oseketone wangʼ chiengʼ e dhoranga hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Ne gin e laru mantie machiegni gi od jatelo ma nyinge Nathan-Melek. Bangʼ mano Josia nowangʼo geche mane itiyogo kuom lamo wangʼ chiengʼ.

12 and, the altars which were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, also the altars which Manasseh had made, in the two courts of the house of Yahweh, did the king break down, —and hurried away from thence, and cast out the powder of them into the Kidron ravine;

Nomuko kende mag misango mane ruodhi mag Juda ogero ewi tat od Ahaz, bende nomuko kende mag misango mane Manase ogero e laru ariyo mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Nogologi kanyo, motoyogi matindo tindo kendo opuko ngʼinjogo e holo mar Kidron.

13 and, the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of destruction, which Solomon king of Israel had built unto Ashtoreth—the abomination of the Zidonians, and unto Chemosh—the abomination of the Moabites, and unto Milcom—the disgusting thing of the sons of Ammon, did the king defile;

Ruoth nomuko kuonde motingʼore gi malo mane ni yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jerusalem koma ochomo yo milambo mar Got Kethruok, mane Solomon ruodh Israel ogero ne Ashtoreth, nyasach makwero mar jo-Sidon, gi Kemosh nyasach jo-Moab kod Molek nyasaye manono mar jo-Amon.

14 and he brake in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Sacred Stems, —and filled their place with human bones:

Josia notoyo kite milamo kendo ongʼado siro mar Ashera mi oumo kuondego gi choke ji.

15 moreover also, the altar that was in Bethel, the high place which Jeroboam son of Nebat made, wherewith he caused, Israel, to sin, —even that altar, and the high place, brake he down, —and burned the high place, crushing it to powder, and burned a Sacred Stem.

Kata mana kendo mar misango man Bethel, ma en kar lemo motingʼore gi malo mane olosgi Jeroboam wuod Nebat, mane omiyo Israel otimo richo bende nomuko. Ne owangʼo kama otingʼore gi malono mi olokore buru bende nowangʼo siro mar Ashera.

16 And, when Josiah turned, and saw the graves which were there, in the mount, he sent and took the bones out of the graves, and burned upon the altar, and defiled it, —according to the word of Yahweh, which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.

Bangʼ mano Josia nongʼiyo koni gi koni kendo kane oneno liete mane ni e kor godno, nogolo chik mondo ogol choke e lietego kendo owangʼ-gi e kendo mar misango kikethego kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye mane ngʼat Nyasaye okoro chon.

17 Then said he—What is yonder erection, which I do see? And the men of the city said unto him—The grave of the man of God, who came in out of Judah, and proclaimed these things, which thou hast done, concerning the altar of Bethel.

Ruoth nopenjo niya, “En kidi mane manie dho liel maneno cha?” Jo-dala maduongʼno nodwoke niya, “Onyiso kar liend ngʼat Nyasaye mane oa Juda mane okoro gik mane itimo e kendo mar misango man Bethel.”

18 And he said—Let him rest, let, no man, disturb his bones. So they let his bones rest, with the bones of the prophet who came in out of Samaria.

Ne owacho niya, “Weyeuru, kendo kik ngʼato mul chokene.” Eka ne giweyo chokene to gi mag janabi mane oa Samaria.

19 Moreover also, all the houses of the high places which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made, so as to provoke Yahweh to anger, did Josiah remove, —and he did to them according to all the doings which he had done in Bethel;

Josia nomuko kendo oketho kuonde duto motingʼore gi malo mitimoe misengini mane ruodhi mag Israel ogero e miech Samaria mane omiyo Jehova Nyasaye mirima mana kaka notimo Bethel.

20 and he sacrificed all the priests of the high places, who were there, by the altars, and burned human bones thereupon, —and returned to Jerusalem.

Josia nonego jodolo duto mag nyiseche milamo kuonde motingʼore gi malo mowangʼogi e kende mag misengini. Bangʼ mano nodok Jerusalem.

21 Then did the king command all the people, saying, Keep ye a passover unto Yahweh, your God, —such as is written in this book of the covenant.

Ruoth nogolo chik ni ji duto kama: “Losuru chokruok mar Pasaka ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, mana kaka ondiki e Kitap Singruokni.”

22 Surely there had not been held such a passover as this, from the days of the Judges who judged Israel, —nor all the days of the kings of Israel, and the kings of Judah;

Koa e ndalo mag jongʼad bura mane otelo ne Israel, kata e ndalo duto mag ruodhi mag Israel gi Juda, pok ne otim chokruok mar Pasaka ma kama.

23 save only, in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, when this passover was held unto Yahweh, in Jerusalem.

To e higa mar apar gaboro mar ruoth Josia, Pasaka machalo kama notimne Jehova Nyasaye e Jerusalem.

24 Moreover also, them who had familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the household gods, and the manufactured gods, and the abominations which were to be seen in the land of Judah, and in Jerusalem, did Josiah consume, —that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had found in the house of Yahweh.

Bende Josia notieko jomeny, jo-nyakalondo, nyiseche manono mag udi gi kido milamo kaachiel gi gik moko duto mamono mane oyud Juda kod Jerusalem. Ma ne otimo mondo ochop chik mondiki e kitabu mane Hilkia jadolo ofwenyo e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.

25 And, like him, was no king, before him, who turned unto Yahweh with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses, —neither, after him, arose one, like him.

Onge ruoth moro kata achiel mane odwogo ir Jehova Nyasaye kaluwore gi chike duto mag Musa gi chunye duto gi ngimane duto kod tekone duto machalo gi Josia.

26 Howbeit, Yahweh turned not away from the glow of his great anger, wherewith his anger glowed against Judah—because of all the provocations wherewith, Manasseh, had provoked him.

Kata Kamano, Jehova Nyasaye ne ok oweyo mirimbe mager, mane liel kochomo Juda nikech mago duto mane Manase otimo komiyo mirimbe jimbore.

27 So Yahweh said: Even Judah, will I remove from my presence, as I have removed Israel, —and will reject this city, which I had chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house as to which I had said, My Name, shall be, there.

Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Abiro riembo jo-Juda e nyima mana kaka ne ariembo jo-Israel kendo abiro kwedo Jerusalem dala maduongʼ mane ayiero kaachiel gi hekaluni, mane awuoyoe ni, ‘Kanyo ema Nyinga nobedie.’”

28 Now, the rest of the story of Josiah, and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

To kuom gik mamoko duto mag loch Josia kod mago duto mane otimo, donge ondikgi e kitabu mag weche mag ruodhi Juda?

29 In his days, came up Pharaoh-necoh king of Egypt, against the king of Assyria, unto the river Euphrates, —and, when King Josiah went against him, he slew him at Megiddo, as soon as he saw him.

E ndalo loch Josia, Farao Neko ruodh Misri nodhi nyaka Aora Yufrate mondo okony ruodh Asuria kedo. Ruoth Josia nowuok mondo oked kode e paw lweny, to ruoth Neko norado kode monege e paw Megido.

30 And his servants conveyed him in a chariot, dead, from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre, —and the people of the land took Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made, him, king, in his father’s stead.

Jotije Josia nokelo ringre gi geche lweny koa Megido nyaka Jerusalem mine giike e liende owuon kendo jopinyno nokawo Jehoahaz wuod Josia mi giwire kendo mokete obedo ruoth kar wuon mare.

31 Twenty-three years old, was Jehoahaz when he began to reign, and, three months, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah, of Libnah.

Jehoahaz ne ja-higni piero ariyo gadek kane odoko ruoth kendo nobedo e loch kuom dweche adek kodak Jerusalem. Min mare nyinge ne Hamutal nyar Jeremia; mane aa Libna.

32 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his, fathers, had done.

Ne otimo richo e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye mana kaka kwerene notimo.

33 And Pharaoh-necoh put him in bonds at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem, —and he laid a fine upon the land, a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.

Farao Neko noterogi e twech Ribla e piny Hamath mondo kik obed ruoth kodak Jerusalem kendo nochuno jo-Juda mondo ochiw osuru mar fedha ma pekne romo kilo alufu adek gi mia angʼwen kod dhahabu ma pekne romo kilo piero adek gangʼwen.

34 And Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim son of Josiah king, instead of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, —and, Jehoahaz, took he away, so he entered Egypt, and died there.

Farao Neko noketo Eliakim wuod Josia ruoth kar wuon mare Josia kendo noloko nying Eliakim ni Jehoyakim. To nokawo Jehoahaz mi otero e twech Misri kuma nothoe.

35 And, the silver and the gold, did Jehoiakim give unto Pharaoh, howbeit he assessed the land, that he might give the silver at the bidding of Pharaoh, —every man, according to his assessment, exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, that he might give it to Pharaoh-necoh.

Jehoyakim nochulo Farao Neko fedha kod dhahabu mane odwaro. Notimo kamano kogolo osuru kuom jopinyno kuom fedha gi dhahabu kaluwore gi yuto mar ngʼato ka ngʼato.

36 Twenty-five years old, was Jehoiakim when he began to reign, and, eleven years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah, of Rumah.

Jehoyakim ne ja-higni piero ariyo gabich kane odoko ruoth kendo nobedo e loch kodak Jerusalem kuom higni apar gachiel. Min mare ne nyinge Zebida nyar Pedaya; mane aa Ruma.

37 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that, his fathers, had done.

Kendo notimo gik maricho e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, mana kaka kwerene notimo.
