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].
Josiah jẹ́ ọmọ ọdún mẹ́jọ nígbà tí ó di ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mọ́kànlélọ́gbọ̀n. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ a máa jẹ́ Jedida ọmọbìnrin Adaiah; ó wá láti Boskati.
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.
Ó sì ṣe èyí tí ó dára lójú Olúwa, ó sì rìn ní ọ̀nà Dafidi baba a rẹ̀, kò sì yípadà sí apá ọ̀tún tàbí sí apá òsì.
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:
Ní ọdún kejìdínlógún tí ó fi jẹ ọba. Ọba Josiah rán akọ̀wé, Ṣafani ọmọ Asalia, ọmọ Meṣullamu, sí ilé Olúwa. Ó wí pé,
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].
“Gòkè lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Hilkiah olórí àlùfáà, kí o sì jẹ́ kí ó ṣírò iye owó tí a mú wá sí ilé Olúwa, tí àwọn olùṣọ́nà ti gbà lọ́wọ́ àwọn ènìyàn.
5 Then tell him to give all that money to the men who are supervising the work of repairing the temple.
Ẹ sì jẹ́ kí wọn ó fi lé àwọn ọkùnrin tí a ti yàn láti bojútó iṣẹ́ náà lórí ilé Olúwa. Kí ẹ sì jẹ́ kí àwọn ọkùnrin san án fún àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ tí ó ń tún ilé Olúwa ṣe.
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.
Àwọn gbẹ́nàgbẹ́nà, àwọn ọ̀mọ̀lé àti àwọn akọ́lé. Bákan náà ni wọ́n ra igi àti òkúta ọlọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ láti fi tún tẹmpili ṣe.
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.”
Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò ní láti ṣe ìṣirò fún owó náà tí a fi fún wọn, nítorí wọ́n ṣe òtítọ́.”
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.
Hilkiah olórí àlùfáà sọ fún Ṣafani akọ̀wé pé, “Èmi rí ìwé òfin nílé Olúwa.” Ó fi fún Ṣafani, ẹni tí ó kà á.
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.”
Nígbà náà, Ṣafani akọ̀wé lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba. Ó sì sọ fún un pé, “Àwọn ìjòyè rẹ ti san owó náà tí ó wà nínú ilé Olúwa. Èmi sì ti fi lé ọwọ́ àwọn tí ó ń ṣe iṣẹ́ náà àti àwọn alábojútó nílé Olúwa.”
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.
Nígbà náà Ṣafani akọ̀wé sọ fún ọba pé, “Hilkiah àlùfáà ti fún un ní ìwé kan.” Ṣafani kà lára rẹ̀ níwájú ọba.
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].
Nígbà tí ọba gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó wà nínú ìwé òfin, ó sì fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya.
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:
Ó pa àṣẹ yìí fún Ahikamu àlùfáà, Hilkiah ọmọ Ṣafani, Akbori ọmọ Mikaiah, àti Ṣafani akọ̀wé àti Asaiah ìránṣẹ́ ọba.
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].”
“Lọ, ẹ béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa fún mi àti fún àwọn ènìyàn àti fún gbogbo Juda nípa ohun tí a kọ sínú ìwé yìí tí a ti rí. Títóbi ni ìbínú Olúwa tí ó ń jó sí wa nítorí àwọn baba wa kò tẹ̀lé ọ̀rọ̀ inú ìwé yìí; wọn kò ṣe ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú gbogbo ohun tí a kọ níbẹ̀ nípa wa.”
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].
Hilkiah àlùfáà, Ahikamu àti Akbori Ṣafani pẹ̀lú Asaiah, lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ wòlíì obìnrin Hulda láti lọ bá a sọ̀rọ̀, ẹni tí ó jẹ́ aya Ṣallumu ọmọ Tikfa ọmọ Harhasi alábojútó ibi ìpa aṣọ mọ́ sí. Ó ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu ní ìdàkejì.
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
Ó wí fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí, Sọ fún ọkùnrin tí ó rán an yín sí mi,
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.
‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: Èmi yóò mú ibi wá sí ibí àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú gbogbo ohun tí a kọ sínú ìwé tí ọba Juda ti kà.
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.”
Nítorí tí wọ́n ti kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì tún sun tùràrí fún ọlọ́run mìíràn. Wọ́n sì mú mi bínú nípa gbogbo àwọn òrìṣà tí wọ́n ti fi ọwọ́ wọn dá. Ìbínú mi yóò ru sí ibí yìí, kì yóò sì rọlẹ̀.’
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,
Sọ fún ọba Juda tí ó rán yín láti béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí nípa ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí ìwọ ti gbọ́.
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,
Nítorí tí ọkàn rẹ rọ̀, tí ìwọ sì ti rẹ ara rẹ sílẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa, nígbà tí ìwọ gbọ́ èyí tí mo sọ sí ibí yìí àti sí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ pé wọn yóò di ahoro àti ẹni ègún tí ìwọ sì fa aṣọ ọ̀ rẹ ya pẹ̀lú níwájú mi. Èmi ti gbọ́ tìrẹ, ni Olúwa wí.
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.
Nítorí náà èmi yóò kó ọ jọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn baba à rẹ, a ó sì sin ọ́ ní àlàáfíà. Ojú rẹ kì yóò rí gbogbo àwọn ibi tí èmi yóò mú wá bá ibí yìí.’” Bẹ́ẹ̀ wọ́n mú èsì rẹ̀ padà tọ ọba wá.
