2 Chronicles 34
1 Josiah was eight years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 31 years.
Yosiya yana da shekara goma sha takwas sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi mulki a Urushalima shekara talatin da ɗaya.
2 He did things that were pleasing to Yahweh and conducted his life like his ancestor King David had done. He fully obeyed [IDM] all the laws of God.
Ya yi abin da yake daidai a gaban Ubangiji ya kuma yi tafiya a hanyoyin kakansa Dawuda, ba tare da juye dama ko hagu ba.
3 When he had been ruling for almost eight years, while he was still a young man, he began to worship God like his ancestor [King] David had done. Four years later, he began to get rid of all the pagan shrines on hilltops in Jerusalem and in [other places in] Judah, and the poles to [honor the goddess] Asherah, and the carved idols and statues of gods.
A shekara ta takwas ta mulkinsa, yayinda yake matashi, sai ya fara neman Allah na kakansa Dawuda. A shekara ta goma sha biyunsa ya fara tsabtacce Yahuda da Urushalima daga masujadan kan tudu, ginshiƙan Ashera, sassaƙaƙƙun gumaka da kuma siffofin da aka yi zubi.
4 While he directed them, his workers tore down the altars where people worshiped Baal. They smashed the altars that were near those altars, where people burned incense. They smashed the poles [honor the goddess] Asherah and the idols and statues. They smashed them to bits and scattered the bits over the graves of those who had offered sacrifices to them.
A ƙarƙashin umarninsa aka rurrushe bagadan Ba’al, ya kuma tumɓuke bagadan ƙona turare waɗanda suke a bisansu, ya farfashe ginshiƙan Ashera da kuma sassaƙaƙƙun siffofi. Ya ragargaza waɗannan kucu-kucu, ya barbaɗa su a kan kaburburan waɗanda suka miƙa musu hadayu.
5 They burned the bones of the priests [who had offered sacrifices]; they burned them on their own altars. In that way Josiah caused Jerusalem and other places in Judah to be acceptable places to worship Yahweh again.
Ya ƙone ƙasusuwan firistocin gumaka a kan bagaden da a dā suke miƙa hadayunsu, ta haka ya tsabtacce Yahuda da Urushalima.
6 In the towns in [the tribes of] Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, and as far [north] as [the tribe of] Naphtali and in the ruins around all those towns,
Ya yi haka cikin garuruwan Manasse, Efraim da Simeyon, har zuwa Naftali, da kuma cikin kangwayen kewayensu,
7 Josiah’s [workers] tore down the pagan altars and the poles to [honor the goddess] Asherah, and crushed the idols to powder. They also smashed to pieces all the altars for burning incense throughout Israel. Then Josiah returned to Jerusalem.
ya farfashe bagadai da ginshiƙan Ashera; ya niƙa gumaka suka zama gari, ya kuma yayyanka dukan bagadan turare kucu-kucu ko’ina a Isra’ila. Sa’an nan ya koma Urushalima.
8 When Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years, he [did something else to] cause the land and the temple to be acceptable places to worship Yahweh. He sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah and Maaseiah the governor of the city and Joah the son of Joahaz, who wrote on a scroll what happened in the city, to repair the temple of Yahweh.
A shekara ta goma sha takwas ta mulkin Yosiya, ya tsarkake ƙasar da haikalin, ya aiki Shafan ɗan Azaliya da Ma’asehiya mai mulkin birni, tare da Yowa ɗan Yowahaz, marubuci, su gyara haikalin Ubangiji Allah.
9 They went to Hilkiah the Supreme Priest and gave him the money that had been brought to the temple. That was the money that the descendants of Levi who guarded the doors of the temple had collected from the people of [the tribes of] Manasseh and Ephraim and [other places in northern] Israel, and also from all the people in Jerusalem and other places in the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.
Suka tafi wurin Hilkiya babban firist suka ba shi kuɗin da aka kawo cikin haikalin Allah, wanda Lawiyawa masu tsaron ƙofofi sun tattara daga mutanen Manasse, Efraim da dukan raguwar Isra’ila da kuma daga dukan mutanen Yahuda da Benyamin da kuma mazaunan Urushalima.
10 Then Hilkiah gave some of the money to the men who had been appointed to supervise the work of repairing the temple. The supervisors paid the men who did the repair work.
Sa’an nan suka danƙa su ga mutanen da aka naɗa su lura da aiki a kan haikalin Ubangiji. Waɗannan mutane ne suke biyan ma’aikatan da suka gyara suka kuma mai da haikalin.
11 They also gave some of the money to the carpenters and builders to buy the cut stones and the timber for the joists and the beams for the buildings that the kings of Judah had allowed to decay.
Suka kuma ba da kuɗi ga kafintoci da magina don su sayi sassaƙaƙƙun duwatsu, da katakai don yin tsaiko da tankar ginin da sarakunan Yahuda suka bari yă fāɗi ya zama kango.
12 The workers did their work faithfully. Their supervisors were Jahath and Obadiah, who were descendants of [Levi’s son] Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, who were descendants of [Levi’s son] Kohath. All the other descendants of Levi, those who played musical instruments well,
Mutanen fa suka yi aiki da aminci. Shugabanninsu, su ne Yahat da Obadiya, Lawiyawa zuriyar Merari da Zakariya da Meshullam, zuriyar Kohat. Dukan Lawiyawa waɗanda suke gwanaye a kayan kiɗi,
13 supervised all the workers as they did their various jobs. Some of the descendants of Levi were secretaries and some kept records and some guarded the gates [of the temple].
sun lura da ma’aikata, suka kuma lura da dukan masu aiki daga aiki zuwa aiki. Waɗansu Lawiyawan su ne marubuta, magatakarda da kuma masu tsaron ƙofofi.
14 While they were giving to the supervisors the money that had been taken to the temple, Hilkiah the [Supreme] Priest found a scroll on which were written the laws that Yahweh had told Moses to give to the people.
Yayinda suke fitar da kuɗin da aka kai cikin haikalin Ubangiji, sai Hilkiya firist ya sami Littafin Dokar Ubangiji da aka bayar ta wurin Musa.
15 So Hilkiah said to Shaphan, “I have found in the temple a scroll on which are written the laws [that God gave to Moses]!” Then Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan.
Hilkiya ya ce wa Shafan magatakarda, “Na sami Littafin Doka a cikin haikalin Ubangiji.” Sai ya ba wa Shafan.
16 Shaphan [took the scroll] to the king and said to him, “Your officials are doing everything that you told them to do.
Sa’an nan Shafan ya ɗauki littafin zuwa wurin sarki, ya faɗa masa, “Manyan ma’aikatanka suna yin kome da aka sa su.
17 They have taken the money that was in the temple, and they have given it to the men who will supervise the workers who will repair the temple.”
Mun ɗauke kuɗin da an ajiye a haikalin Ubangiji muka ba wa masu aiki da waɗanda suke lura da su.”
18 Then Shaphan said to the king, “[I have brought to you] a scroll [that] Hilkiah gave to me.” And Shaphan started to read it to the king.
Sa’an nan Shafan magatakarda ya sanar da sarki ya ce, “Hilkiya firist ya ba ni wani littafi.” Sai Shafan ya karanta daga cikinsa a gaban sarki.
19 When the king heard the laws [that were written in the scroll], he tore his clothes [because he was very dismayed/worried].
Da sarki ya ji kalmomin Doka, sai ya yage rigunansa.
20 Then he gave these instructions to Hilkiah, to Shaphan’s son Ahikam, to Micah’s son Abdon, to Shaphan, and to Asaiah the king’s special advisor:
Ya ba da waɗannan umarnai ga Hilkiya, Ahikam ɗan Shafan, Abdon ɗan Mika, Shafan magatakarda da kuma Asahiya mai hidimar sarki.
21 “Go and ask Yahweh for me, and for all his people who are still alive in Judah and Israel, about what is written in this scroll that has been found. Because [it is clear that] Yahweh is very angry with us because our ancestors disobeyed what Yahweh said; they did not obey the laws that are written on this scroll.”
Ya ce, “Ku tafi ku nemi nufin Ubangiji saboda ni da kuma saboda raguwa a Isra’ila da Yahuda game da abin da aka rubuta a wannan littafin da aka samu. Fushin Ubangiji mai girma ne da aka zuba a kanmu domin kakanninmu ba su kiyaye maganar Ubangiji ba; ba su aikata bisa ga dukan abin da yake a rubuce a wannan littafi ba.”
22 So Hilkiah and the others went to talk with a woman whose name was Huldah, who was a prophetess who lived in the newer part of Jerusalem. Her husband Shallum who was the son of Tikvah, took care of the robes that were worn [in the temple].
Hilkiya tare da waɗanda sarki ya aika, suka tafi suka yi magana da annabiya Hulda, wadda take matar Shallum ɗan Tokhat ɗan Hasra, mai tsaron wurin ajiyar riguna. Tana zama a Urushalima, a Yanki na Biyu.
23 [When they told her what the king had said, ] she said to them, “This is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says: ‘Go back and tell the king who sent you
Sai ta ce musu, “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce faɗa wa mutumin da ya aike ku gare ni,
24 that this is what Yahweh says: “Listen to this carefully. I am going to cause a disaster to strike Jerusalem and all the people who live here. I will cause them to experience the curses that were written in the scroll that was read to the king of Judah.
‘Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce zai kawo masifa a wannan wuri da mutanensa, dukan la’anar da aka rubuta a cikin littafin da aka karanta a gaban sarkin Yahuda.
25 I will do that because they have rejected me, and they burn incense to [honor] other gods. They have caused me to become very angry because of all the idols that they have made (OR, because of all the wicked things that they have done), [and my anger is like] a fire that will not be extinguished.
Domin sun yashe ni suka kuma ƙone turare wa waɗansu alloli, suka tsokane ni in yi fushi ta wurin dukan abin da hannuwansu suka yi, fushina zai zuba a kan wannan wuri, ba kuma za a kwantar da shi ba.’
26 The king of Judah sent you to ask what I, Yahweh, want. Go and tell him that this is what I, Yahweh, the God whom you Israelis worship, say about what you read:
Ku faɗa wa sarkin Yahuda, wanda ya aike ku ku nemi nufin Ubangiji, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila yake cewa game da kalmomin da ka ji.
27 “Because you heeded [what was written in the scroll], and you humbled yourself when you heard what I said to warn [about what would happen to] this city and the people who live here, and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you.
Domin zuciyarka mai tuba ce, ka kuma ƙasƙantar da kanka a gaban Allah sa’ad da ka ji abin da ya yi magana a kan wannan wuri da mutanensa, domin kuma ka ƙasƙantar da kanka a gabana, ka yage rigunanka ka kuma yi kuka a gabana, na ji ka, in ji Ubangiji.
28 So I will allow you to die and be buried peacefully. I will cause a great disaster to strike this place and the people who live here, but you will not [be alive to] see it.”’” So they reported her reply to the king.
Yanzu zan tara ka da kakanninka, za a kuma binne ka cikin salama. Idanunka ba za su ga dukan masifar da zan kawo a kan wannan wuri da kuma a kan waɗanda suke zama a nan ba.’” Sai suka kai amsar wa sarki.
29 Then the king summoned all the elders of Jerusalem and [other places in] Judea.
Sai sarki ya kira dukan dattawan Yahuda da Urushalima.
30 They went up together to the temple with the leaders of Judah and many other people of Jerusalem and the priests and other descendants of Levi, from the least important to the most important ones. And while they listened, the king read to them everything that was in the scroll containing God’s laws that had been found in the temple.
Ya haura zuwa haikalin Ubangiji tare da mutanen Yahuda, mutanen Urushalima, firistoci da Lawiyawa, dukan mutane daga ƙarami zuwa babba. Ya karanta dukan kalmomin Littafin Alkawari wanda aka samu a cikin haikalin Ubangiji a kunnuwansu.
31 Then the king stood next to the pillar [at the entrance to the temple, where kings stood when they announced something important], and while Yahweh was listening, he repeated his promise to very sincerely and completely obey Yahweh and all his commands and regulations and decrees that were written on the scroll.
Sai sarkin ya miƙe tsaye a inda yake, ya sabunta alkawari a gaban Ubangiji, don yă bi Ubangiji yă kiyaye umarnansa, ƙa’idodinsa da kuma farillansa da dukan zuciyarsa da kuma dukan ransa, ya kuma yi biyayya da kalmomin alkawarin da aka rubuta a cikin wannan littafi.
32 Then the king said that everyone who lived in Jerusalem and from [the tribe of] Benjamin should promise that they also would obey those laws. And they did that, agreeing that they would keep the agreement that God, whom their ancestors had worshiped, had made with them.
Sa’an nan ya sa kowa a Urushalima da Benyamin ya yi alkawari ga wannan; mutanen Urushalima suka aikata wannan bisa ga alkawarin Allah, Allah na kakanninsu.
33 Josiah [instructed his workers to] remove all the detestable idols from everywhere in the land of the Israeli people, and he commanded that all the people from Israel who were there should worship [only] Yahweh their God. And as long as Josiah was alive, the people did what was pleasing to Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
Yosiya ya fitar da dukan gumakan banƙyama daga dukan yankunan Isra’ilawa, ya kuma sa dukan waɗanda suke a Isra’ila su bauta wa Ubangiji Allahnsu. Muddin ransa, ba su fasa bin Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsu ba.
