< 2 Kings 23 >

1 So the king sent messengers who gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
Nampañitrike i mpanjakay, le natontoñ’ ama’e ze hene androanavi’ Iehoda naho Ierosalaimeo.
2 Then the king went up to the house of Yahweh, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, prophets, and all the people, from small to great. He then read in their hearing all the words of the book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of Yahweh.
Le nionjomb’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà mb’eo i mpanjakay rekets’ ondati’ Iehoda iabio naho ze fonga mpimone’ Ierosalaime naho mpisoroñe naho mpitoky, naho ze kila ondaty, ty kede naho ty bey, vaho hene vinaki’e an-dravembia’ iareo ze tsara amy bokem-pañina nitendrek’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovày.
3 The king stood by the pillar 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 confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book. So all the people agreed to stand by the covenant.
Nijohañe ami’ty fahañe eo i mpanjakay naho nifañina añatrefa’ Iehovà, t’ie hañavelo am-pañorihañe Iehovà naho hiambeñe o lili’eo naho o taro’eo vaho o fañè’eo añ’ ampon’ arofo naho an-kaliforam-pañova, hahatafetera’e o tsara’ i fañina sinokitse amy bokeio; le niantofa’ o fonga ondatio i fañinay.
4 The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the priests under him, and the gatekeepers to bring out of the temple of Yahweh all the vessels that were made for Baal and Asherah, and for all the stars of heaven. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields in the Kidron Valley and carried their ashes to Bethel.
Linili’ i mpanjakay amy zao t’i Kil­kià mpisoroñe naho o mpisoroñe am-pi­rim­­boñañe faha-roe naho o mpitan-dalam­beio, ty hañakara’ iareo an-kivoho’ Iehovà ze fanake nanoeñe amy Baale naho an-tsamposampo naho amy valobohòn-dikerañey; le niforototoe’e alafe’ Ierosalaime an-kivo’ i Kidrone ao vaho nendese’e mb’e Betele añe ty laveno’e.
5 He got rid of the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had chosen to burn incense at the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places around Jerusalem—those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and the moon, to the planets, and to all the stars of heaven.
Nafotsa’e iaby o mpisorom-pahasive noriza’ o mpanjaka’ Iehodao hañenga amy ze toets’ abo amo rova’ Iehodào, naho amo toetse mañohoke Ierosalaimeo; le o nañenga amy Baale, amy àndroy, amy volañey, amo vasiañe mifamorohotseo, vaho amy valobohòn-dikerañeio.
6 He brought out the Asherah pole from the temple of Yahweh, outside Jerusalem to the Kidron Valley and burned it there. He beat it to dust and threw that dust onto the graves of the common people.
Naaka’e añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà mb’ alafe’ Ierosalaime mb’eo, mb’an toraha’ i Kidroney o Aserào naho finorototo’e an-toraha’ i Kidrone ey naho dinemodemo’e ho bo vaho nafitse’e amo kibori’ o ana’ ondatio i debokey.
7 He cleared out the rooms of the cultic prostitutes who were in the temple of Yahweh, where the women wove garments for Asherah.
Narotsa’e o kibohom-borololo añ’ila’ i anjomba’ Iehovày amy fanenoñan-drakemba o tèmen’ Aseràoy.
8 Josiah brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba. He destroyed the high places at the gates that were at the entrance to the gate of Joshua (the city governor), on the left side of the city gate.
Fonga nakare’e amo rova’ Iehodao o mpisoroñeo naho nileore’e o toets’ abo nañemboha’ o mpisoroñeo mifototse e Geba pake Beeresebà vaho narotsa’e o toets’ abo am-pimoahañe i lalambei’ Iehosoà bein-tanañeio, am-pitàn-kavia an-dalambei’ i rovaio.
9 Although the priests of those high places were not allowed to serve at the altar of Yahweh in Jerusalem, they ate unleavened bread among their brothers.
ie amy zao tsy nionjom-b’ amy kitreli’ Iehovà e Ierosalaimey añe o mpisoron-toets’aboo, f’ie nitrao-pikama mofo tsi-aman-dali­vae amo rahalahi’eo.
10 Josiah defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, so that no one might cause his son or his daughter to pass through the fire as a sacrifice to Molech.
Nileore’e ty Topete, am-bavatane’ i ana’ i Hino­mey, tsy hampirangà’ ondaty añ’afo’ i Moleke ao ty ana-dahi’e ndra ty anak’ ampela’e.
11 He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun. They had been in an area at the entrance to the temple of Yahweh, near the room of Nathan-Melek, the chamberlain. Josiah burned the chariots of the sun.
Nafaha’e o soavala noriza’ o mpanjaka’ Iehodao amy àndroy, am-pimoahañe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà, marine’ ty efe’ i Matane-meleke, vosie, am-pariparitse ey, vaho finorototo’e añ’ afo o sareten’ androo.
12 Josiah the king destroyed the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars that Manasseh had made in the two courts of the temple of Yahweh. Josiah smashed them into pieces and threw them into the Kidron Valley.
Le naro­tsa’ i mpanjakay i kitrely an-tafo’ i efetse ambone’ i Ahkaze namboare’ o mpanjaka’ Ieho­daoy naho o kitreli’ i Menasè niranjie’e an-kiririsa roe’ i anjomba’ Iehovà eio le dinemodemo’e vaho nahifi’e an-tora­han-Kidrone ao ty debo’e.
13 The king ruined the high places east of Jerusalem, south of the mount of corruption that Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth, the detestable idol of the Sidonians; for Chemosh, the detestable idol of Moab; and for Molech, the detestable idol of the people of Ammon.
Le nileore’ i mpanjakay o tamboho aolo’ Ierosalaime am-pitàn-kavanan-kaboan-kaleorañeo, i namboare’ i Selomò mpanjaka’ Israele amy Astorete, ty haloloa’ o nte-Tsidoneo, naho amy Kemose, ty haloloa’ o nte-Moabeo vaho amy Milkome, ty haloloa’ o ana’ i Amoneo.
14 He broke the stone pillars into pieces and cut down the Asherah poles and he filled those places with the bones of human beings.
Dinoro-demo’e o saren-drahao naho finira’e o hazomangao, vaho natsafe’e taola’ ondaty o toe’eo.
15 Josiah also completely destroyed the altar that was at Bethel and the high place that Jeroboam son of Nebat (the one who made Israel to sin) had constructed. He also burned that altar and the high place and beat it to dust. He also burned the Asherah pole.
Le i kitrely e Beteley, naho i toets’ abo’ Iarovame namboare’ i ana’ i Nebate nampanan-kakeo Israeley; fonga narotsa’e i kitreliy naho i toets’ aboy, le finorototo’e i toets’ aboy, naho dinemodemo’e ho deboke vaho hinotomomo’e i Aserày.
16 As Josiah looked over the area, he noticed the graves that were on the hillside. He sent men to take the bones from the graves; then he burned them on the altar, which defiled it. This was according to the word of Yahweh which the man of God had spoken, the man who spoke of these things beforehand.
Ie nitolike t’Iosià, le niisa’e o kibory an-kaboañeio naho nampañitrife’e naho nakare’e amy kibory rey o taolañeo vaho finorototo’e ambone’ i kitreliy handeora’e aze, hambañe amy tsara’ Iehovà tsinei’ indatin’ Añahare nikoike irezaiy.
17 Then he said, “What monument is that I see?” The men of the city told him, “That is the grave of the man of God who came from Judah and spoke about these things that you have just done against the altar of Bethel.”
Aa hoe re, Lona’ ia o treakoo? Le hoe ondati’ i rovaio ama’e: Kibori’ indatin’ Añahare niheo mb’etoa boak’ Iehoda nitsey o raha anoe’o amy kitreli’ i Beteleioy.
18 So Josiah said, “Let it alone. No one should move his bones.” So they let his bones alone, along with the bones of the prophet who had come from Samaria.
Le hoe re: Adono; ko apo’ areo ho tsiborè’ ondaty o taola’eo. Aa le nado’ iareo o taola’eo, rekets’ o taola’ i mpitoky boake Someroneio.
19 Then Josiah removed all the houses on the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made, and that provoked Yahweh to anger. He did to them exactly what had been done at Bethel.
Nafaha’ Iosià iaby o anjomban-toets’ abo an-drova’ i Somerone namboare’ o mpanjaka’ Israeleo nampiviñetse Iehovào, le hene nanoe’e am’ iereo i nanoe’e e Beteley.
20 He slaughtered all the priests of the high places on the altars and he burned human bones on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
Fonga zinevo’e ambone kitrely eo o mpisoron-toets’ abo taoo naho noroa’e ambone’ iereo ty taola’ ondaty; vaho nimpoly mb’e Ierosala­ime mb’eo.
21 Then the king commanded all the people, saying, “Keep the Passover to Yahweh your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.”
Linili’ i mpanjakay o hene ondatio, ami’ty hoe: Ambeno i fihelañ’ ambone’ Iehovà Andria­nañahare’oy, i sinokitse amy bokem-pañinaiy.
22 Such a Passover celebration had never been held from the days of the judges who ruled Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel or Judah.
Aa le mboe lia’e tsy nanoeñe ty fihelañ’ ambone manahake izay boak’ añ’andro’ o mpizaka nizaka Israeleo ndra amo androm-panjaka’ Israeleo naho o mpanjaka’ Iehodào;
23 But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah this Passover of Yahweh was celebrated in Jerusalem.
amy taom-paha-folo-valo’ ambi’ Iosià mpanjakay ty nañambenañe i fihelañ’ ambone am’ Iehovày e Ierosalaime ao.
24 Josiah also banished those who talked with the dead or with spirits. He also banished the fetishes, the idols, and all the disgusting things that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, so as to confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had found in the house of Yahweh.
Fonga nafaha’ Iosià ze mpandrombo anga­tse naho jiny naho terafime naho hazomanga vaho ze hene haloloañe nizoeñe an-tane’ Iehoda naho e Ierosa­laime ao hamente ty enta’ i Hake sinokitse amy boke nioni’ i Kilkià mpisoroñey añ’anjomba’ Iehovà aoiy.
25 Before Josiah, there had been no king like him, who turned to Yahweh with all his heart, all his soul, and all his might, who followed all the law of Moses. Nor did any king like Josiah arise after him.
Le tsy eo ty nañirinkiriñe aze amy ze mpanjaka niaolo aze, ie nitolik’ am’ Iehovà an-kaampon’ arofo naho an-kalifo­ram-pa­ñova vaho an-kene hao­zara’e, ty amy Hà’ i Mosey; ie tsy amam-panonjohy nitroatse nanahak’ aze.
26 Nevertheless, Yahweh did not turn away from the burning of his fierce anger, which burned against Judah because of all that Manasseh had done to provoke him to anger.
Fe tsy nitolik’ amy fifombo’e niforoforoy t’Iehovà, amy haviñera’e nisolebotse am’ Iehodà, ty amo fonga sigý nisigihe’ i Menasè Azeo.
27 So Yahweh said, “I will also remove Judah out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will throw away this city that I have chosen, Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, 'My name will be there.'”
Le hoe t’Iehovà, hafahako am-pahatreavako t’Iehoda, manahake ty nañafahako Israele vaho hahifiko añe ty rova jinoboko toy naho i anjom­ba nataoko ty hoe: Ho ao i añarakoiy.
28 As for the other matters concerning Josiah, everything that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
Aa naho o fitoloña’ Iosià ila’eo, o raha nanoe’e iabio, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Iehodaoy hao?
29 In his days, Pharaoh Necho, king of Egypt, went to fight against the king of Assyria at the Euphrates River. King Josiah went to meet Necho in battle, and Necho killed him at Megiddo.
Ie tañ’ andro’e le nionjo haname ty mpanjaka’ i Asore t’i Parò-Nekò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime mb’an-tsaka Perate añe; nomb’ ama’e mb’eo t’Ioase, mpanjaka, fe vata’e niisa’e le zinevo’e e Megidò añe.
30 Josiah's servants carried him dead in a chariot from Megiddo, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own grave. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him king in his father's place.
Nitakone’ o mpi­toro’eo an-tsarete i fañova’ey, nendese’ iereo mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo vaho nalentek’ an-kibori’e ao. Rinambe ondati’ i taneio t’Ie­hoakaze, ie ty noriza’ iareo ho mpanjaka handimbe an-drae’e.
31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal; she was the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Roapolo-taoñe telo’ amby t’Ie­ho­­akaze te niorotse nifehe, le nifeleke telo volañe e Ierosalaime ao; i Kamotale, ana’ Irm-meà nte-Libnà, ty tahi­nan-drene’e.
32 Jehoahaz did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, like everything that his ancestors had done.
Nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re manahake o fonga satan-droae’eo.
33 Pharaoh Necho put him in chains at Riblah in the land of Hamath, so that he might not reign in Jerusalem. Then Necho fined Judah one hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.
Le vinaho’ i Parò-Neko e Ribà an-tane Kamate añe re, tsy hameleha’e t’Ierosalaime; le sinaze’e ta­lenta zato volafoty naho talenta volamena raike i taney.
34 Pharaoh Necho made Eliakim son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz away to Egypt, and Jehoahaz died there.
Le nanoe’ i Parò-Neko mpanjaka t’i Eliakime ana’ Iosia han­dimbe an-drae’e Iosia naho novae’e ho Iehoiakime ty tahina’e naho nendese’e mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo t’Iehoakaze, vaho nihomake añe.
35 Jehoiakim paid the silver and gold to Pharaoh. In order to meet the demand of Pharaoh, Jehoikim taxed the land and he forced each man among the people of the land to pay him the silver and gold according to their assessments.
Natolo’ Iehoiakime amy Parò i volafoty naho volamenay, le nangalà’e haba i taney ty amy lili’ i Paròy; rinambe’e am’ ondati’ i taneio i volafoty naho volamenay, sambe ty amy vili-loha’ey, hanolotse aze amy Parò-Neko.
36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zebidah; she was the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
Roapolo-taoñe lime amby t’Iehoiakime te niorotse nifehe; vaho nifeleke folo-taoñe raik’ amby e Ierosalaime ao; i Zebidà, ana’ i Pedaià nte-Romà, ty tahinan-drene’e.
37 Jehoiakim did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, just as his ancestors had done.
Le nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re manahake o satan-droae’eo.
