2 Kings 23
1 Then the king sent, —and there were gathered unto him, all the elders of Judah, and Jerusalem;
Ergasiis mootichi maanguddoota Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem hunda walitti ni waame.
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.
Innis namoota Yihuudaa, jiraattota Yerusaalem, lubootaa fi raajota wajjin jechuunis nama xinnaa fi guddaa hunda wajjin gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ol baʼe. Dubbii Kitaaba Kakuu kan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti argame sanaa hundas akka isaan dhagaʼanitti dubbiseef.
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.
Mootichis utubaa bira dhaabatee akka Waaqayyoon duukaa buʼu, akka garaa isaa guutuu fi lubbuu isaa guutuudhaan ajaja isaa, dambiiwwan isaatii fi labsiiwwan isaa eegee akkasiin dubbiiwwan kakuu kanneen kitaaba kana keessatti barreeffaman hojii irra oolchu fuula Waaqayyoo duratti kakuu ni haaromse; ergasiis sabni hundi kakuu ni haaromse.
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;
Mootichis akka isaan miʼoota Baʼaaliif, Asheeraadhaa fi raayyaawwan samiitiif hojjetaman hunda mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessaa baasaniif Hilqiyaa lubicha ol aanaa, luboota sadarkaan isatti aananii fi eegdota balbalaa ajaje. Innis miʼoota sana Yerusaalem keessaa baasee dirree Sulula Qeedroon irratti gube; daaraa isaas fuudhee Beetʼeelitti geesse.
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;
Luboota waaqota tolfamoo kanneen akka isaan iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen magaalaawwan Yihuudaatii fi naannoo Yerusaalem kanneen gaarran irraatiif ixaana aarsaniif mootonni Yihuudaa muudan sana jechuunis warra Baʼaaliif, aduu fi jiʼaaf, tuuta urjiitii fi raayyaawwan samii hundaaf ixaana aarsaa turanis ni barbadeesse.
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;
Siidaa Aasheeraas mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fuudhee Yerusaalem keessaa baasee Sulula Qeedroonitti geessee achitti ni gube. Isas daakee bulleessee daaraa isaa awwaala namootaa irratti firfirse.
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;
Innis mana dhiirota mana sagadaa keessatti sagaagalanii kan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa jiru, iddoo itti dubartoonni Asheeraadhaaf golgaa hojjetan sana ni diige.
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;
Yosiyaasis luboota hunda magaalaawwan Yihuudaatii ni fide; innis iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen Gebaadhaa hamma Bersheebaatti turan kanneen luboonni ixaana itti aarsaa turan sana ni xureesse. Akkasumas galmawwan waaqeffannaa karrawwan cinaa kanneen balbala Karra Iyyaasuu bulchaa magaalaa sanaa dura karaa gama bitaa magaalattiin turan sana ni diige.
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;
Luboonni iddoowwan sagadaa kunneen yoo iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo kan Yerusaalem keessaa irra tajaajiluu baatan illee isaan luboota akka isaanii wajjin Maxinoo nyaatan ture.
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;
Innis akka namni tokko iyyuu ilma isaa yookaan intala isaa aarsaa godhee ibiddaan Moolekiif hin dhiʼeessineef Toofeti kan Sulula Ben Hinoom keessatti argamu sana ni xureesse.
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;
Akkasumas fardeen mootonni Yihuudaa aduudhaaf kennan sana balbala mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti geessu irraa fuudhee ni balleesse. Fardeen sun oobdii kutaa mana Naataan-Meelek qondaaltichaa biraa keessa turan. Ergasiis Yosiyaas gaariiwwan aduu sana ibiddaan ni gube.
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;
Mootichis iddoowwan aarsaa mootonni Yihuudaa bantii manaa irra, kutaa mana Aahaaz kan ol aanu bira dhaabanii fi iddoowwan aarsaa Minaaseen mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa oobdiiwwan lamaan keessa dhaabe sana ni buqqise. Iddoowwan aarsaa sanas achii fuudhee ni caccabsee, caccabaa isaanii Sulula Qeedroon keessatti ni gate.
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;
Akkasumas mootichi iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gama baʼa Yerusaalemitti karaa kibba Gaara Faalamuutiin turan kanneen Solomoon mootichi Israaʼel Ashtooreti waaqittii xurooftuu Siidoonotaa, Kemoosh waaqicha xuraaʼaa Moʼaabii fi Moolek waaqicha xuraaʼaa ijoollee Amooniitiif hojjete sana ni xureesse.
14 and he brake in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Sacred Stems, —and filled their place with human bones:
Yosiyaas soodduuwwan dhagaa caccabsee siidaawwan Aasheeraas diigee iddoo sana lafee namaatiin guute.
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.
Akkasumas iddoo aarsaa Beetʼeel keessa ture sanaa fi iddoo sagadaa kan Yerobiʼaam ilmi Nebaat inni Israaʼelin cubbuu hojjechiise sun ijaare iddoo aarsaa sanaa fi iddoo sagadaa ni diige. Iddoo sagadaa sanas caccabsee, daakee bulleesse; siidaa Aasheeraas ni gube.
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.
Yosiyaasis of irra garagalee awwaalawwan tulluu irra jiran achitti arge; nama ergees awwaalawwan sana keessaa lafeewwan fichisiisee akkuma dubbii Waaqayyoo kan namni Waaqaa inni duraan dursee waan kana dubbate sun labsetti iddoo aarsaa irratti gubee isa xureesse.
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.
Mootichi, “Dhagaan awwaalaa kan ani arguutti jiru kun maal?” jedhee ni gaafate. Namoonni magaalaa sanaa immoo, “Inni awwaala nama Waaqaa kan Yihuudaadhaa dhufee waanuma ati iddoo aarsaa Beetʼeel goote kana duraan dursee labse sanaa ti” jedhan.
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.
Innis, “Isa dhiisaa; namni tokko iyyuu lafee isaa hin tuqin” jedhe. Kanaafuu isaan lafee isaattii fi lafee raajicha Samaariyaadhaa dhufe sanaa illee ni dhiisan.
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;
Yosiyaas akkuma Beetʼeelitti godhe sana iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa kanneen mootonni Israaʼel magaalaawwan Samaariyaa keessatti ijaaranii Waaqayyoon dheekkamsaaf kakaasan sana hunda ni diige.
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.
Innis luboota iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa hunda iddoowwan aarsaa irratti qalee lafee namaas achuma irratti ni gube. Ergasiis gara Yerusaalemitti ni deebiʼe.
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.
Mootichis, “Akkuma Kitaaba Kakuu kana keessatti barreeffame sanatti Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif Faasiikaa ayyaaneffadhaa” jedhee saba hunda ajaje.
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;
Bara abbootii murtii kanneen Israaʼelin bulchaa turaniitii jalqabee yookaan bara mootota Israaʼel hunda keessa yookaan Yihuudaa keessa Faasiikaan akkasii takkumaa ayyaaneffamee hin beeku.
23 save only, in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, when this passover was held unto Yahweh, in Jerusalem.
Garuu bara Yosiyaas mootichaa keessa waggaa kudha saddeettaffaatti Faasiikaan kun Yerusaalemitti Waaqayyoof ayyaaneffamaa ture.
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.
Kana malees Yosiyaas ilaaltotaa fi eker dubbistoota, taraafimii, waaqota tolfamoo fi wantoota jibbisiisoo kanneen Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem keessatti argaman biraa hunda balleesse. Innis seera kitaaba Hilqiyaa lubichi mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti arge sana irratti barreeffame hojii irra oolchuudhaaf waan kana godhe.
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.
Mootiin akka Yosiyaas kan akka Seera Musee hundaatti garaa isaa guutuudhaan, lubbuu isaa guutuu fi humna isaa guutuudhaan gara Waaqayyootti deebiʼe tokko iyyuu isaan duras isaan duubas hin argamne.
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.
Taʼus sababii Minaaseen waan hojjete hundaan dheekkamsaaf isa kakaaseef Waaqayyo dheekkamsa isaa guddaa fi sodaachisaa Yihuudaa irratti bobaʼe sana irraa hin deebine.
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.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo, “Ani akkuma Israaʼelin balleesse sana Yihuudaas fuula koo duraa nan balleessa; Yerusaalem magaalaa ani filadheef mana qulqullummaa kan ani, ‘Maqaan koo achi jiraata’ jedhee waaʼee isaa dubbadhe kana nan dhiisa” jedhe.
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?
Wanni bara mootummaa Yosiyaas keessa hojjetame kan biraatii fi wanni inni hojjete hundi kitaaba seenaa mootota Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffameera mitii?
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.
Bara Yosiyaas mootii turetti, Faraʼoon Nekkoon mootichi Gibxi mootii Asoor gargaaruuf jedhee gara Laga Efraaxiisitti ol baʼe. Yosiyaas mootichis of irraa isa ittisuudhaaf itti gad baʼe. Nekkoon garuu isatti dhufee Megidootti isa ajjeese.
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.
Garboonni Yosiyaasis gaariidhaan Megidoodhaa gara Yerusaalemitti reeffa isaa fidanii awwaala isaa keessatti isa awwaalan. Ergasiis sabni biyya sanaa Yehooʼaahaaz ilma Yosiyaas fuudhanii dibanii iddoo abbaa isaa buusanii mootii isa godhan.
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.
Yehooʼaahaazis yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa digdamii sadii ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee jiʼa sadii bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Hamuutaal ture; isheenis intala Ermiyaas kan Libnaadhaa dhuftee turte.
32 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his, fathers, had done.
Innis akkuma abbootiin isaa hojjetan sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete.
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.
Akka inni Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee hin bulchineef Faraʼoon Nekkoon Hamaati keessatti Riiblaati foncaan isa hidhee Yihuudaa irrattis gibira meetii taalaantii dhibba tokkoo fi warqee taalaantii tokko mure.
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.
Faraʼoon Nekkoon Eliiyaaqiim ilma Yosiyaas mootichaa iddoo Yosiyaas iddoo abbaa isaa buusee mootii godhe; maqaa Eliiyaaqiimis geeddaree Yehooyaaqiim jedheen. Yehooʼaahaazin garuu fuudhee Gibxitti geesse; innis achitti duʼe.
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.
Yehooyaaqiimis meetii fi warqee Faraʼoon Nekkoon gaafate sana ni baase. Waan kana baasuufis gibira biyyatti muree namoota biyyattii irraa akkuma galii isaaniitti meetii fi warqee walitti qabe.
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.
Yehooyaaqiim yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa digdamii shan ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa kudha tokko bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Zebuudaa ture; isheenis intala Phedaayaa kan magaalaa Ruumaatii dhufte turte.
37 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that, his fathers, had done.
Innis akkuma abbootiin isaa hojjetan sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete.
