2 Kings 22
1 Josiah was eight years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 31 years. His mother was Jedidah and his grandfather was Adaiah from Bozkath [town].
E WALU na makahiki o Iosia, i kona lilo ana i alii, a he kanakolukumamakahi na makahiki ana i noho alii ai ma Ierusalema. A o Iedida ka inoa o kona makuwahine, he kaikamahine a Adaia no Bosekata.
2 Josiah did things that were pleasing to Yahweh and conducted his life as his ancestor King David had done. He completely obeyed [IDM] all the laws of God.
A hana pono aku la ia imua o Iehova, a hele no ia ma na aoao o Davida kona kupuna, aole ia i huli ae ma ka akau, aole ma ka hema.
3 After Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years, he sent his secretary Shaphan, the son of Azaliah and grandson of Meshullam, to the temple with these instructions:
A i ka makahiki umikumamawalu o Iosia ke alii, hoouna aku la ke alii ia Sapana ke keiki a Azalia, ke keiki a Mesulama, ke kakauolelo, i ka hale o Iehova, i aku la,
4 “Go to Hilkiah, the Supreme Priest, and tell him to give me a report, telling me how much money the men who guard the doors of the temple have collected from the people [as offerings].
E pii aku oe ia Hilekia ke kahuna nui, a nana e helu ke kala i laweia mai iloko o ka hale o Iehova, ka mea a ka poe kiai i ka paepae puka i hoiliili ae na na kanaka mai.
5 Then tell him to give all that money to the men who are supervising the work of repairing the temple.
A e haawi aku lakou ia mea i ka lima o ka poe hana i ka hana, i ka poe luna hoi o ka hale o Iehova, a e haawi aku hoi lakou i ka poe hana i ka hana maloko o ka hale o Iehova, no ka hana hou i kahi naha o ka hale.
6 They must give that money to the carpenters, the builders, and the masons, and they should also buy the timber and the stones that they will use to repair the temple.
A i na kamana, a i ka poe kukulu, a i ka poe hahao pohaku, a me ke kuai laau a me na pohaku i kalaiia no ka hana hou i ka hale.
7 But the men who supervise the work will not be required to make a report on the money that is given to them, saying what they spent it for, because those men are completely honest.”
Aka, aole i helu pu ia me lakou ke kala i haawiia i ko lakou lima, no ka mea, ma ka pono ka lakou hana ana.
8 [After Shaphan said that to Hilkiah] the king’s secretary, Hilkiah said to Shaphan, “I have found in the temple a scroll on which is written the laws [that God gave to Moses]!” Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan, and he started to read it.
I aku la o Hilekia ke kahuna nui ia Sapana ke kakauolelo, Ua loaa ia'u ka buke o ke kanawai ma ka hale o Iehova. A haawi aku la o Hilekia i ka buke ia Sapana, a heluhelu no kela ia mea.
9 Then Shaphan [took the scroll] to the king and said to him, “Your temple guards have taken the money that was in the temple, and they have given it to the men who will supervise the work of repairing the temple.”
A hele aku la o Sapana ke kakauolelo i ke alii, a hai aku i ka olelo i ke alii, i aku la, Ua ninini kau mau kauwa i ke kala i loaa iloko o ka hale, a ua haawi aku ia mea i ka poe hana i ka hana, i na luna o ka hale o Iehova.
10 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.
A hai aku la o Sapana, ke kakauolelo i ke alii, i aku la, O Hilekia ke kahuna, ua haawi mai ia'u i buke. A heluhelu iho la o Sapana ia mea imua o ke alii.
11 When the king heard the laws that were written in the scroll that Shaphan was reading to him, he tore his clothes [because he was very dismayed].
A lohe ke alii i ka olelo a ka buke o ke kanawai, haehae iho la ia i kona aahu.
12 Then he gave these instructions to Hilkiah, to Shaphan’s son Ahikam, to Micaiah’s son Achbor, and to Asaiah, the king’s special advisor:
A kauoha aku la ke alii ia Hilekia ke kahuna, a ia Ahikama, ke keiki a Sapana, a ia Akebora ke keiki a Mikaia, a ia Sapana ke kakauolelo, a ia Asakia, ke kauwa a ke alii, i aku la,
13 “Go and ask Yahweh for me and for all the people of Judah, 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 was written on this scroll, things that we [should have done].”
E hele oukou, a e ninau aku ia Iehova no'u, a no na kanaka, a no ka Iuda a pau, i na olelo o keia buke i loaa; no ka mea, ua nui ka inaina o Iehova i hoaia no kakou, i ka hoolohe ole o ko kakou poe makua i na olelo o keia buke, e hana like me na mea a pau i kakauia no kakou.
14 So Hilkiah, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to (consult/talk with) a woman whose name was Huldah, who was a prophetess who lived in the newer/northern part of Jerusalem. Her husband Shallum, son of Tikvah and grandson of Harhas, took care of the robes that were worn [in the temple] (OR, [by the king]). [Those five men told her about the scroll].
A hele aku la o Hilekia ke kahuna, a me Ahikama, a me Akebora, a me Sapana, a me Asakia, io Huleda la ke kaula wahine, ka wahine a Saluma, ke keiki a Tikeva, ke keiki a Harehasa, nana i malama i na aahu; (a e noho ana ua wahine la ma Ierusalema, ma kekahi hapa, ) a kamailio pu lakou me ia.
15 She said to them, “This is what Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] says: ‘Go back and tell the king who sent you
I mai la kela ia lakou, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela peneia, E olelo aku oukou i ke kanaka, nana oukou i hoouna mai io'u nei,
16 that this is what Yahweh says: “Listen to this carefully. I am going to cause all the people who live here in Jerusalem to experience a disaster, which is what was written in the scroll that the king has read.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, Aia hoi, e lawe mai ana au i ka ino maluna o keia wahi, a maluna o kona poe kanaka, i na mea a pau o ka buke a ke alii o ka Iuda i heluhelu ai:
17 I will do that because they have abandoned me, and they burn incense to [honor] other gods. They have caused me to become very angry by [worshiping] the idols that they have made (OR, by all the wicked things that they have done), and my anger is like [MET] a fire that will not be put out.”
No ka mea, ua haalele lakou ia'u, a na kuni i ka mea ala i na akua e, i hoonaukiuki ai lakou ia'u, ma na hana a pau a ko lakou lima; nolaila, e hoaia ko'u inaina i keia wahi, aole ia e pio.
18 The king of Judah sent you to inquire what I, Yahweh, wanted you to do, so this is what you should say to him: “Because you have heeded what was written in the scroll,
Aka, i ke alii o ka Iuda, nana oukou i hoouna mai nei e ninau ia Iehova, peneia oukou e olelo aku ai ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela peneia, no na olelo au i lohe ai;
19 and you repented and humbled yourself when you heard what I said to warn you [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. I said that I would cause this city to be abandoned. It will be a city whose name people will use when they curse someone. But I have heard what you prayed,
No ka mea, ua akahai kou naau, a ua hoohaahaa oe ia oe iho imua o Iehova i ka wa i lohe ai oe i ka mea a'u i olelo ai no keia wahi, a me kona poe kanaka, i lilo ai lakou i mea kahahaia, a i mea hoinoia, a ua haehae oe i kou aahu, a ua auwe oe imua o'u; owau hoi ka i hoolohe, wahi a Iehova.
20 so I will allow you to die [EUP] and be buried peacefully. I will cause the people who live here to experience a terrible disaster, but you will not [be alive to] see it.”’” After the men heard that, they returned to King Josiah and gave him that message.
Nolaila hoi e hui pu aku au ia oe me kou poe kupuna, a ma kou halelua oe e huiia'i me ka malu; aole hoi e ike kou mau maka i ka ino a pau a'u e lawe mai ai maluna o keia wahi. A hai aku la lakou i ke alii i ka olelo.
