2 Kings 23
1 And he sent the king and they gathered to him all [the] elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Ipapo mambo akaunganidza vakuru vose veJudha neJerusarema pamwe chete.
2 And he went up the king [the] house of Yahweh and every person of Judah and all [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem with him and the priests and the prophets and all the people from [the] small and unto [the] great and he read aloud in ears their all [the] words of [the] scroll of the covenant which had been found in [the] house of Yahweh.
Akakwidza achienda kutemberi yaJehovha navarume veJudha, navanhu veJerusarema, vaprista navaprofita, navanhu vose kubva kuvaduku kusvikira kuvakuru. Akaverenga vachinzwa mashoko ose eBhuku reSungano, rakanga rawanikwa mutemberi yaJehovha.
3 And he stood the king at the pillar and he made the covenant - before Yahweh to walk after Yahweh and to keep commandments his and testimonies his and statutes his with all heart and with all being to establish [the] words of the covenant this which were written on the scroll this and it took its stand all the people in the covenant.
Mambo akamira pambiru akavandudza sungano pamberi paJehovha, kuti atevere Jehovha uye achengete zvaakarayira, nezvaakatema nemitemo yake nomwoyo wake wose, nomweya wake wose nokudaro achisimbisa mashoko esungano akanyorwa mubhuku iri. Ipapo vanhu vose vakazvipira kusungano.
4 And he commanded the king Hilkiah the priest great and [the] priests of the second rank and [the] keepers of the threshold to bring out from [the] temple of Yahweh all the articles which were made for Baal and for Asherah and for all [the] host of the heavens and he burned them from [the] outside of Jerusalem in [the] fields of Kidron and he carried dust their Beth-el.
Zvino mambo akarayira Hirikia muprista mukuru, navaprista vaimutevera paukuru navarindi vemikova kuti vabvise mutemberi yaJehovha zvose zvakanga zvaitirwa Bhaari naAshera nenyeredzi dzose dzokudenga. Akazvipisira kunze kweJerusarema muminda yoMupata weKidhironi, akaendesa madota azvo kuBheteri.
5 And he removed the pagan priests whom they had appointed [the] kings of Judah and he made smoke at the high places in [the] cities of Judah and [the] surroundings of Jerusalem and the [ones who] made smoke to Baal to the sun and to the moon and to the constellations and to all [the] host of the heavens.
Akabvisa vaprista vezvifananidzo vakanga vagadzwa namadzimambo eJudha kuti vapisire zvinonhuhwira pamatunhu akakwirira amaguta eJudha napamusoro penzvimbo dzakapoteredza Jerusarema, vaya vaipisira zvinonhuhwira kuna Bhaari, nokuzuva nomwedzi nokunyeredzi dzose dzokudenga.
6 And he brought out the Asherah pole from [the] house of Yahweh from [the] outside of Jerusalem to [the] wadi of Kidron and he burned it in [the] wadi of Kidron and he crushed [it] to dust and he threw dust its on [the] burial site of [the] sons of the people.
Akabvisa danda raAshera mutemberi yaJehovha akariisa kuMupata weKidhironi kunze kweJerusarema akaripisirako. Akarikuya rikava madota, akaparadzira madota acho pamusoro pamarinda avanhuwo zvavo.
7 And he broke down [the] houses of the male cult prostitutes which [were] in [the] house of Yahweh where the women [were] weaving there containers for Asherah.
Akaputsawo dzimba dzezvifeve zvavarume zvapatemberi dzaiva mutemberi yaJehovha mairukira vakadzi machira aAshera.
8 And he brought all the priests from [the] cities of Judah and he made unclean the high places where they had made smoke there the priests from Geba to Beer Sheba and he broke down [the] high places of the gates which [were at] [the] entrance of [the] gate of Joshua [the] governor of the city which [was] at [the] left [side] of anyone at [the] gate of the city.
Josia akabudisa vaprista vose vaibva mumaguta eJudha akashatisa matunhu akakwirira, kubva kuGebha kusvikira kuBheerishebha, kwaipisirwa zvinonhuhwira navaprista. Akaputsa dzimba dzapamatunhu akakwirira apamasuo apamukova weSuo raJoshua, mutongi weguta, raiva kuruboshwe rwesuo reguta.
9 Nevertheless not they went up [the] priests of the high places to [the] altar of Yahweh in Jerusalem that except they ate unleavened bread in among brothers their.
Kunyange zvazvo vaprista vamatunhu akakwirira vakanga vasingashumiri paaritari yaJehovha muJerusarema, vakadya zvingwa zvisina mbiriso pamwe chete nehama dzavo vaprista.
10 And he made unclean Topheth which [was] in [the] valley of (Ben *Q(K)*) Hinnom to not to make pass anyone son his and daughter his in the fire to Molech.
Akashatisa Tofeti iri muMupata weBheni Hinomi, kuitira kuti pasava nomunhu angapashandisa kubayira mwanakomana wake kana mwanasikana wake mumoto kuna Moreki.
11 And he removed the horses which they had dedicated [the] kings of Judah to the sun from [the] going of [the] house of Yahweh to [the] room of Nathan Melech the court-official which [was] in the Parbar and [the] chariots of the sun he burned with fire.
Akabvisa pasuo retemberi yaJehovha mabhiza akanga akumikidzwa kuzuva namadzimambo eJudha, akanga ari muchivanze pedyo nekamuri romubati ainzi Natani-Mereki. Ipapo Josia akapisa ngoro dzakanga dzakakumikidzwa kuzuva.
12 And the altars which [were] on the roof of [the] upper room of Ahaz which they had made - [the] kings of Judah and the altars which he had made Manasseh in [the] two [the] courtyards of [the] house of Yahweh he pulled down the king and he ran from there and he threw dust their into [the] wadi of Kidron.
Akaputsira pasi aritari dzakanga dzavakwa namadzimambo eJudha pamusoro pedenga, pedyo nekamuri rapamusoro raAhazia, nearitari dzakanga dzavakwa naManase muzvivanze zviviri zvetemberi yaJehovha. Akadzibvisapo, akadziputsa-putsa uye akakanda marara acho muMupata weKidhironi.
13 And the high places which - [were] on [the] face of Jerusalem which [were] from [the] south of [the] mountain of destruction which he had built Solomon [the] king of Israel to Astarte - [the] detestable thing of [the] Sidonians and to Chemosh [the] detestable thing of Moab and to Milcom [the] abomination of [the] people of Ammon he made unclean the king.
Mambo akashatisawo matunhu akakwirira akanga ari kumabvazuva kweJerusarema nechezasi kweChikomo choUori, izvo zvakanga zvavakwa naSoromoni mambo weIsraeri achivakira Ashitoreti mwari anonyangadza wavaSidhoni naKemoshi mwari anonyangadza wavaMoabhu, naMoreki mwari anonyangadza wavaAmoni.
14 And he broke the sacred pillars and he cut down the Asherah poles and he filled place their bones of humankind.
Josia akaputsa-putsa shongwe dzamatombo aiera akatema matanda aAshera akafukidza nzvimbo dzacho namapfupa avanhu.
15 And also the altar which [was] at Beth-el the high place which he had made Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat who he caused to sin Israel also the altar that and the high place he tore down and he burned the high place he crushed [it] to dust and he burned [the] Asherah pole.
Pamusoro paizvozvo, akaparadza aritari paBheteri nenzvimbo yakakwirira yakaitwa naJerobhoamu mwanakomana waNebhati, uyo akaita kuti Israeri itadze, kunyange aritari iyoyo nenzvimbo yakakwirira akazviputsa. Akapisa nzvimbo yakakwirira akaikuya kuita upfu, uye akapisawo danda raAshera.
16 And he turned Josiah and he saw the graves which [were] there on the mountain and he sent and he took the bones from the graves and he burned [them] on the altar and he made unclean it according to [the] word of Yahweh which he had proclaimed [the] man of God who he proclaimed the words these.
Ipapo Josia akatarira-tarira uye paakaona makuva akanga aripo pamusoro pechikomo, akarayira kuti mapfupa abviswe maari uye apiswe paaritari kuti aishatise, maererano neshoko raJehovha rakaparidzwa nomunhu waMwari akaprofita zvinhu izvi.
17 And he said what? [is] the monument this which I [am] seeing and they said to him [the] people of the city the grave of [the] man of God who he came from Judah and he proclaimed the things these which you have done on the altar of Beth-el.
Mambo akabvunza akati, “Ko, shongwe yeguva yandinoona iyo ndeyani?” Varume vomuguta vakati, “Ndiyo inoratidza guva romunhu waMwari akabva kuJudha akaprofita pamusoro pearitari yeBheteri nezvinhu izvi zvamaita kwairi.”
18 And he said leave alone him anyone may not he disturb bones his and they left undisturbed bones his [the] bones of the prophet who he had come from Samaria.
Iye akati, “Regai azorore. Ngakurege kuva nomunhu anokanganisa mapfupa ake.” Naizvozvo vakarega mapfupa ake pamwe chete neomuprofita akanga abva kuSamaria.
19 And also all [the] houses of the high places which - [were] in [the] cities of Samaria which they had made [the] kings of Israel to provoke anger he removed Josiah and he did to them according to all the deeds which he had done at Beth-el.
Josia akaita zvimwe chetezvo sezvaakanga aita paBheteri akabvisa uye akashatisa temberi dzose dzapamatunhu akakwirira dzakanga dzavakwa namadzimambo eIsraeri mumaguta eSamaria, akanga atsamwisa Jehovha,
20 And he slaughtered all [the] priests of the high places who [were] there on the altars and he burned bones of humankind on them and he returned Jerusalem.
Josia akauraya vaprista vose vokumatunhu akakwirira pamusoro pearitari uye akapisirapo mapfupa avanhu. Ipapo akabva adzokera kuJerusarema.
21 And he commanded the king all the people saying observe a passover to Yahweh God your according to [what] is written on [the] scroll of the covenant this.
Mambo akarayira vanhu vose akati, “Itirai Jehovha Mwari wenyu Pasika sezvazvakanyorwa muBhuku iri reSungano.”
22 For not it had been observed like the passover this since [the] days of the judges who they judged Israel and all [the] days of [the] kings of Israel and [the] kings of Judah.
Hakuna kumbova nepasika yakadai kubvira pamazuva avatongi vakatungamirira Israeri kana pamazuva amadzimambo avaIsraeri, namadzimambo eJudha.
23 That except in eight-teen year of the king Josiah it was observed the passover this to Yahweh in Jerusalem.
Asi mugore regumi namasere raMambo Josia, pasika iyi yakaitirwa Jehovha muJerusarema.
24 And also the necromancers and the soothsayers and the teraphim and the idols and all the detestable things which they were seen in [the] land of Judah and in Jerusalem he removed Josiah so as to carry out [the] words of the law which were written on the scroll which he had found Hilkiah the priest [the] house of Yahweh.
Pamusoro paizvozvo, Josia akabvisa masvikiro ose navavuki, navaiita zvemidzimu, nezvifananidzo nezvimwe zvose zvinonyangadza zvaionekwa muJudha nomuJerusarema. Akaita izvi kuti azadzise zvaidikanwa nomurayiro wakanga wakanyorwa mubhuku rakanga rakawanikwa nomuprista Hirikia mutemberi yaJehovha.
25 And like him not he had been before him a king who he turned back to Yahweh with all heart his and with all being his and with all strength his according to all [the] law of Moses and after him not he arose like him.
Hapana kumbova namambo akaita saJosia kuna vakamutangira kana vakamutevera, akatendeukira kuna Jehovha nomwoyo wake wose, nomweya wake wose, uye nesimba rake rose, sezvaakaita achitevera Murayiro wose waMozisi.
26 Nevertheless - not he turned back Yahweh from [the] burning of anger his great which it burned anger his on Judah on all the provocations which he had provoked to anger him Manasseh.
Kunyange zvakadaro, Jehovha haana kushanduka pakupisa kwehasha dzake dzinotyisa, dzaipisira Judha nokuda kwezvose zvakaitwa naManase achimutsamwisa.
27 And he said Yahweh also Judah I will remove from on face my just as I removed Israel and I will reject the city this which I chose Jerusalem and the house which I said it will be name my there.
Naizvozvo Jehovha akati, “Ndichabvisawo Judha pamberi pangu sokubvisa kwandakaita Israeri, uye ndicharamba Jerusarema, guta randakasarudza, netemberi iyi, yandakataura pamusoro payo ndichiti, ‘Zita rangu richagarapo.’”
28 And [the] rest of [the] matters of Josiah and all that he did ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Judah.
Kana zviri zvimwe zvakaitika pakutonga kwaJosia, nezvose zvaakaita, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku renhoroondo dzamadzimambo eJudha?
29 In days his he went up Pharaoh Necho [the] king of Egypt on [the] king of Assyria to [the] river of Euphrates and he went the king Josiah to meet him and he killed him at Megiddo when saw he him.
Josia paakanga ari mambo, Faro Neko mambo weIjipiti akaenda kuRwizi Yufuratesi kuti andobatsira mambo weAsiria. Mambo Josia akaenda kundorwisana naye, asi Neko akamuona akamuuraya paMegidho.
30 And they made ride him servants his dead from Megiddo and they brought him Jerusalem and they buried him in own grave his and it took [the] people of the land Jehoahaz [the] son of Josiah and they anointed him and they made king him in place of father his.
Varanda vaJosia vakatakura mutumbi wake mungoro kubva kuMegidho kusvika kuJerusarema vakamuviga muguva rake. Vanhu vomunyika imomo vakatora Jehoahazi mwanakomana waJosia vakamuzodza uye vakamuita mambo panzvimbo yababa vake.
31 [was] a son of Twenty and three year[s] Jehoahaz when became king he and three months he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Hamutal [the] daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.
Jehoahazi akanga ava namakore makumi maviri namatatu paakava mambo, akatonga kwemwedzi mitatu muJerusarema. Zita ramai vake rainzi Hamutari mwanasikana waJeremia, vaibva kuRibhina.
32 And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh according to all that they had done ancestors his.
Akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, sezvakanga zvaitwa namadzibaba ake.
33 And he confined him Pharaoh Necho at Riblah in [the] land of Hamath (from reigning *Q(K)*) in Jerusalem and he put a fine on the land one hundred talent[s] of silver and a talent of gold.
Faro Neko akamusunga nengetani paRibhira munyika yeHamati kuti asatonga muJerusarema, uye akaisa mutero pamusoro peJudha wamatarenda zana esirivha netarenda regoridhe.
34 And he made king Pharaoh Necho Eliakim [the] son of Josiah in place of Josiah father his and he changed name his Jehoiakim and Jehoahaz he took and he came Egypt and he died there.
Faro Neko akagadza Eriakimi mwanakomana waJosia kuti ave mambo panzvimbo yababa vake uye Josia akashandura zita raEriakimi kuti rive Jehoyakimi. Asi akatora Jehoahazi akaenda naye kuIjipiti, uye ndiko kwaakafira.
35 And the silver and the gold he gave Jehoiakim to Pharaoh only he taxed the land to give the silver on [the] mouth of Pharaoh each according to valuation his he exacted the silver and the gold [the] people of the land to give [it] to Pharaoh Necho.
Jehoyakimi akapa Faro Neko sirivha negoridhe sezvaakanga areva. Kuti aite izvozvo, akaripisa vanhu vomunyika imomo mutero achitora sirivha negoridhe kubva kuvanhu venyika maererano nezvavakanga vatarirwa.
36 [was] a son of Twenty and five year[s] Jehoiakim when became king he and one [plus] ten year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his ([was] Zebudah *Q(K)*) [the] daughter of Pedaiah from Rumah.
Jehoyakimi akanga ava namakore makumi maviri namashanu paakava mambo, uye akatonga kwamakore gumi nerimwe muJerusarema. Zita ramai vake rainzi Zebhidha mwanasikana waPedhaya; vaibva kuRuma.
37 And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh according to all that they had done ancestors his.
Akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, sezvakanga zvaitwa namadzibaba ake.
