2 Chronicles 34
1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
Yosiyaas yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa saddeetii ture; Yerusaalem keessa taaʼees waggaa soddomii tokko bulche.
2 He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and walked in the ways of David his ancestor, and did not turn away either to the right or to the left.
Inni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan qajeelaa ni hojjete; utuu mirgatti yookaan bitaatti hin gorinis karaa abbaa isaa Daawit irra deeme.
3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek after the God of David, his ancestor. In the twelfth year, he began to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, the Asherah poles, and the carved figures and the cast metal figures.
Inni mootii taʼee waggaa saddeettaffaatti utuma umurii dargaggummaa keessa jiruu Waaqa abbaa isaa Daawit barbaaduu jalqabe. Waggaa kudha lammaffaatti immoo Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem keessaa iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa, siidaawwan Aasheeraa, waaqota tolfamoo fi fakkiiwwan baqfamanii tolfaman ni balleesse.
4 The people broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; he cut apart the incense altars that were above them. He broke the Asherah poles and the carved figures, and the cast metal figures in pieces until they were dust. He scattered the dust on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
Qajeelfama isaatiinis iddoowwan aarsaa Baʼaal diigaman; iddoowwan aarsaa ixaanaa kanneen achi irra turan caccabsee siidaawwan Aasheeraa, waaqota tolfamoo fi fakkiiwwan hurreesse. Wantoota kanneenis daakee bulleessee awwaala warra isaaniif aarsaa dhiʼeessaa turanii irratti bittinneesse.
5 He burned the bones of their priests on their altars. In this way, he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
Lafee lubootaas iddoowwan aarsaa isaanii irratti guggube. Haala kanaanis Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalemin qulqulleesse.
6 He did the same in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, all the way to Naphtali, and in the ruins that surrounded them.
Magaalaawwan Minaasee, kan Efreemii fi Simiʼoon kanneen hamma Niftaalemitti jiranii fi akkasumas diigamaa naannoowwan isaanii keessatti
7 He broke down the altars, beat the Asherah poles and the carved images into powder, and cut apart all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
iddoowwan aarsaa fi siidaawwan Aasheeraa ni jijjigse; waaqota tolfamoo daaraa godhe; iddoowwan aarsaa ixaanaa kanneen guutummaa Israaʼel keessa jiran hundas ni caccabse. Ergasiis Yerusaalemitti deebiʼe.
8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, after Josiah had cleansed the land and the temple, he sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, Maaseiah, the governor of the city, and Joah son of Joahaz the secretary, to repair the house of Yahweh his God.
Yosiyaas mootii taʼee waggaa kudha saddeettaffaatti erga biyyattii fi mana qulqullummaa qulqulleessee booddee mana Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa haaromsuuf Shaafaan ilma Azaliyaa, Maʼaseyaa bulchaa magaalaa fi Yooʼaa ilma Yooʼaahaaz galmeessaa sana erge.
9 They went to Hilkiah, the high priest, and entrusted to him the money that had been brought into the house of God, that the Levites, the guards of the doors, had gathered from Manasseh and Ephraim, from all the remnant of Israel, from all Judah and Benjamin, and from the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Isaanis gara Hilqiyaa lubicha ol aanaa dhaqanii maallaqa mana qulqullummaa Waaqaatiif fidame sana itti kennan; maallaqa kanas Lewwota balbala eegantu saboota Minaasee irraa, kan Efreem irraa, hambaawwan Israaʼel hunda irraa, saba Yihuudaa fi kan Beniyaam hunda irraa akkasumas jiraattota Yerusaalem irraa walitti qabe.
10 They entrusted the money to the men who supervised the work on the temple of Yahweh. These men paid the workers who repaired and restored the temple.
Isaanis maallaqa sana namoota akka hojii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo toʼataniif muudamanitti imaanaa kennan. Namoonni kunneenis hojjettoota mana qulqullummaa haaromsanii akka duriitti deebisaniif ni kaffalu.
11 They paid it to the carpenters and builders to buy cut stone and timber for braces, and to make beams for the structures that some kings of Judah had let fall apart.
Akkasumas akka isaan ijaarsa mootonni Yihuudaa akka diigamu godhan sanaaf dhagaa soofame, laaxaawwan, mukkeen sutaa fi dareeraawwan bitaniif ogeeyyii mukaa fi ijaartotatti maallaqa kennan.
12 The men did the work faithfully. Their supervisors Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, from the sons of the Kohathites. Other Levites, all of whom were very good musicians, closely directed the workmen.
Namoonni sunis amanamummaadhaan hojicha hojjetan. Lewwota sanyii Meraarii keessaa Yahaatii fi Obaadiyaan akkasumas sanyii Qohaati keessaa Zakkaariyaasii fi Meshulaam akka jara sana hojjechiisaniif isaan irratti muudaman. Lewwonni meeshaa faarfannaa taphachuu beekan hundis
13 These Levites were in charge of those who carried building material and all other men who worked in any way. There were also Levites who were secretaries, administrators, and gate guards.
itti gaafatamtoota hojjettoota hojii humnaa taʼanii hojjettoota hojii garaa garaa illee toʼachaa turan. Lewwonni tokko tokkos barreessitoota, qondaaltotaa fi eegdota balbalaa turan.
14 When they brought out the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of Yahweh that had been given through Moses.
Utuma isaan maallaqa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti galfame sana baasaa jiranuu Hilqiyaa lubichi Kitaaba Seera Waaqayyoo kan karaa Museetiin kenname sana arge.
15 Hilkiah said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the house of Yahweh.” Hilkiah brought the book to Shaphan.
Hilqiyaanis Shaafaan barreessaa sanaan, “Ani mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti Kitaaba Seeraa argeen jira” jedhe; kitaabichas Shaafaanitti kenne.
16 Shaphan took the book to the king, and also reported to him, saying, “Your servants are doing everything that has been entrusted to them.
Shaafaanis kitaabicha fuudhee mootichatti geessee akkana jedhe; “Qondaaltonni kee waan ajajaman hunda hojjechaa jiru.
17 They have emptied out the money that was found in the house of Yahweh, and they gave it into the hand of the supervisors and to the workmen.”
Maallaqa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa tures baasanii namoota hojii toʼatanii fi hojjettootatti imaanaa kennaniiru.”
18 Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” Then Shaphan read in it to the king.
Kana irrattis Shaafaan barreessaan sun, “Hilqiyaa lubichi kitaaba tokko natti kenneera” jedhee mootichatti hime. Shaafaanis fuula mootichaa duratti kitaaba sana dubbise.
19 It came about that when the king had heard the words of the law, he tore his clothes.
Mootichis yommuu dubbii Seeraa sana dhagaʼetti uffata isaa tarsaase.
20 The king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Abdon son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah, his own servant, saying,
Innis ajaja kana Hilqiyaatti, Ahiiqaam ilma Shaafaanitti, Abdoon ilma Miikaatti, Shaafaan barreessichaa fi Asaayaa tajaajilaa mootichaatti ni kenne:
21 “Go and ask Yahweh's will for me, and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, because of the words of the book that has been found. For it is great, the anger of Yahweh that has been poured out on us. It is great, because our ancestors have not listened to the words of this book so as to obey all that was written in it.”
“Dhaqaatii waaʼee waan kitaaba argame kana keessatti barreeffamee anaaf, hambaawwan Israaʼel keessaatii fi Yihuudaatiif Waaqayyoon gaafadhaa. Sababii warri nuun duraa dubbii Waaqayyoo hin eeginiif dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo guddaan nutti dhangalaʼeera; isaan akka waan kitaaba kana keessatti barreeffame sana hundaatti hin jiraanneetii.”
22 So Hilkiah, and those whom the king had commanded, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum son of Tokhath son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (she lived in Jerusalem in the Second District), and they spoke with her in this way.
Hilqiyaa fi warri mootichi isa wajjin erge sun gara Huldaanaa raajittii jechuunis niitii Shaluum ilma Toqeʼaati, ilma Hasraat kan eegduu mana uffataa turte sanatti himuu dhaqan. Isheenis Yerusaalem keessa aanaa lammaffaa keessa jiraatti turte.
23 She said to them, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me,
Isheenis akkana isaaniin jette; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Namicha natti isin erge sanatti akkana jedhaa himaa;
24 'This is what Yahweh says: See, I am about to bring disaster on this place and on its inhabitants, all the curses that have been written in the book that they have read before the king of Judah.
‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ani iddoo kanaa fi saba isaatti badiisa jechuunis abaarsa kitaaba fuula mootii Yihuudaa duratti dubbifame sana keessatti barreeffame hunda nan fida.
25 This will happen because they have forsaken me and have burned incense to other gods, and they have provoked me to anger by all that their hands have made, therefore, my anger will be poured out on this place, and it will not be extinguished.'
Sababii isaan na dhiisanii waaqota biraatiif ixaana aarsuudhaan waan harki isaanii tolche hundaan dheekkamsaaf na kakaasaniif dheekkamsi koo iddoo kana irratti ni dhangalaʼa; hin dhaamus.’
26 But to the king of Judah, who sent you to ask Yahweh what he should do, this is what you will say to him, 'Yahweh, the God of Israel says this: About the words that you heard,
Mootii Yihuudaa kan akka isin Waaqayyoon gaafattaniif isin erge sanatti akkana jedhaatii himaa; ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel waaʼee dubbii ati dhageesse sanaa akkana jedha:
27 because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this place and its inhabitants, and because you have humbled yourself before me and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have listened to you—this is Yahweh's declaration—
Sababii ati yeroo waan inni waaʼee iddoo kanaatii fi waaʼee saba isaa waan hamaa dubbate dhageessetti garaan kee tuqamee fuula Waaqaa duratti gad of qabdeef, sababii ati fuula koo duratti gad of qabdee, uffata kee tarsaaftee boosseef ani si dhagaʼeera, jedha Waaqayyo.
28 see, I will gather you to your ancestors. You will be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes will not see any of the disaster I will bring on this place and its inhabitants.'” The men took this message back to the king.
Ani amma abbootii kee biratti walittin si qaba; atis nagumaan awwaalamta. Waan hamaa ani iddoo kanaa fi warra as jiraatanitti fiduuf jiru hunda iji kee hin argu.’” Isaanis deebii ishee fudhatanii gara mootichaatti deebiʼan.
29 Then the king sent messengers and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Ergasiis mootichi maanguddoota Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem hunda walitti ni waame.
30 Then the king went up to the house of Yahweh, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, Levites, and all the people, from great to small. He then read in their hearing all the words of the book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of Yahweh.
Innis namoota Yihuudaa, jiraattota Yerusaalem, lubootaa fi Lewwota 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.
31 The king stood in his place and made a covenant before Yahweh, to walk after Yahweh, and to keep his commandments, his regulations, and his statutes, with all his heart and all his soul, to obey the words of the covenant that were written in this book.
Mootichis utubaa isaa bira dhaabatee akka Waaqayyoon duukaa buʼu, akka garaa isaa guutuu fi lubbuu isaa guutuudhaan ajaja isaa, dambiiwwan isaatii fi labsiiwwan isaa eegee, dubbiiwwan kakuu kanneen kitaaba kana keessatti barreeffamaniifis akka ajajamu fuula Waaqayyoo duratti kakuu ni haaromse.
32 He caused all who were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand by the covenant. The inhabitants of Jerusalem acted in obedience to the covenant of God, the God of their ancestors.
Ergasiis akka namni Yerusaalemii fi Beniyaam keessa jiraatu hundi kakuu galu ni godhe; namoonni Yerusaalemis akkuma kakuu Waaqaa jechuunis Waaqa abbootii isaaniitti waan kana ni godhan.
33 Josiah took away all the disgusting things from the lands that belonged to the people of Israel. He made everyone in Israel worship Yahweh, their God. For all of his days, they did not turn away from following Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.
Yosiyaasis guutummaa biyya Israaʼel keessaa waaqota jibbisiisoo ni balleesse; akka warri Israaʼel keessa jiran hundinuus Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii waaqeffatan ni godhe. Isaan hamma inni lubbuun jiraatetti Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaanii duukaa buʼuu irraa duubatti hin deebine.
