< 2 Chronicles 34 >

1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
Josia ne ja-higni aboro kane obedo ruoth kendo norito pinyno kodak Jerusalem kuom higni piero adek gachiel.
2 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, and walked in the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn away to the right hand or to the left.
Timbe Josia ne longʼo e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye kendo nowuotho e yore duto mag Daudi kwar-gi ma ok olokore kongʼiyo korachwich kata koracham.
3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, the Asherah poles, the engraved images, and the molten images.
E higa mar aboro mar lochne kane pod en rawera nochako luwo Nyasach Daudi kwar mare. E hike mar apar gariyo nochako pwodho Juda kod Jerusalem koketho kuonde motingʼore gi malo mag lemo, gi sirni mag lemo mar Ashera, gi nyiseche mopa kod kido mothedhi.
4 They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; and he cut down the incense altars that were on high above them. He broke the Asherah poles, the engraved images, and the molten images in pieces, made dust of them, and scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
Kaluwore kod chik mane ogolo, kende liswa mag Baal nomuki; nomuko kende mag misango miwangʼoe ubani mane ochungʼ e wigi motoyogi matindo tindo, kendo nomuko sirni mag Ashera milamo, nyiseche manono kod kido milamo mongʼadogi matindo tindo. Magi nongʼinjo matindo tindo mokeyogi ewi liete mag jogo mane otimonegi liswa.
5 He burnt the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
Nowangʼo choke jodolo e kendegi mag misango omiyo nopwodho Juda kod Jerusalem.
6 He did this in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, around in their ruins.
Kamano bende e miech Manase gi Efraim kod Simeon nyaka chop Naftali kaachiel gi kuonde molworogi mane osekethi,
7 He broke down the altars, beat the Asherah poles and the engraved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel, then returned to Jerusalem.
nomuko kende mag misango gi sirni mag Ashera milamo kendo notoyo nyisechegi mongʼinyore ka buru kendo nongʼado matindo tindo kende miwangʼoe ubani e piny Israel duto, bangʼe noduogo Jerusalem.
8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder to repair the house of the LORD his God.
E higa mar apar gaboro mar loch Josia mondo neni opwodh piny kod hekalu nooro Shafan wuod Azalia gi Maseya jatend dala maduongʼ kaachiel gi Joa wuod Joahaz ma jachan weche mondo olos hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache.
9 They came to Hilkiah the high priest and delivered the money that was brought into God’s house, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had gathered from the hands of Manasseh, Ephraim, of all the remnant of Israel, of all Judah and Benjamin, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Negidhi ir Hilkia jadolo maduongʼ mi gimiye pesa mane osekel e hekalu mar Nyasaye ma jo-Lawi ma jorit dhoudi nosechoko kuom jo-Manase gi jo-Efraim kod jo-Israel duto mane odongʼ gi jo-Juda gi jo-Benjamin kaachiel gi joma nodak Jerusalem.
10 They delivered it into the hands of the workmen who had the oversight of the LORD’s house; and the workmen who laboured in the LORD’s house gave it to mend and repair the house.
Negiketogi e lwet joma otelo ne gedo mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Jogi nochulo jotich mane oloso kendo odwogo hekalu kaka ne ochalo chon.
11 They gave it to the carpenters and to the builders to buy cut stone and timber for couplings, and to make beams for the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
Jopa bepe kod jogedo bende nomi pesa mondo gingʼiewgo kite mopa kod yiend ripo kod sirni mondo gilosgo udi mane ruodhi Juda oweyo okethore.
12 The men did the work faithfully. Their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to give direction; and others of the Levites, who were all skilful with musical instruments.
Jogo ne otiyo tijno gadiera. E tijno notelnigi kod jo-Lawi mane gin Jahath kod Obadia mane gin nyikwa Merari, kendo Zekaria gi Meshulam mane nyikwa Kohath. Jo-Lawi, ma gin jogo duto mane olony kuom goyo thumbe
13 Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and directed all who did the work in every kind of service. Of the Levites, there were scribes, officials, and gatekeepers.
ema notelo ne jotich kendo negingʼiyo jotich mag tije mopogore opogore. Jo-Lawi moko ne jogoro gi jopuonj chike kod jorit dhoudi.
14 When they brought out the money that was brought into the LORD’s house, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the LORD’s law given by Moses.
Kane gigolo oko pesa mane oseter e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, Hilkia jadolo nonwangʼo Kitap Chik mar Jehova Nyasaye mane ochiw ne Musa.
15 Hilkiah answered Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the LORD’s house.” So Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.
Hilkia nowachone Shafan jagoro niya, “Aseyudo Kitap Chik ei hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.” Nochiwe ni Shafan.
16 Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought back word to the king, saying, “All that was committed to your servants, they are doing.
Eka Shafan nokawo kitabuno motere ni ruoth mowachone niya, “Jodongi tiyo tije duto mane osemigi.
17 They have emptied out the money that was found in the LORD’s house, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers and into the hand of the workmen.”
Gisechulo pesa mane nitiere e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo gisechiwogi e lwet jotich kod jotend hekalu.”
18 Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book.” Shaphan read from it to the king.
Bangʼe Shafan jagoro nowachone niya, “Hilkia jadolo osemiya kitabu moro.” Mi Shafan nosomo kitabuno e nyim ruoth.
19 When the king had heard the words of the law, he tore his clothes.
Kane ruoth owinjo weche mag Chik, noyiecho lepe.
20 The king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying,
Nochiwo chikegi ne Hilkia gi Ahikam wuod Shafan gi Abdon wuod Mika gi Shafan jagoro kod Asaya jarit mar ruoth kowachonegi niya,
21 “Go enquire of the LORD for me, and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the LORD’s wrath that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the LORD’s word, to do according to all that is written in this book.”
“Dhiuru upenj Jehova Nyasaye gima biro timorena, jo-Israel kod jo-Juda modongʼ kaluwore gi weche mantiere e kitabu mosenwangʼno. Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye maliel ka mach osechomowa nikech kwerewa ok oserito wach Jehova Nyasaye; kendo ok gisetimo timbe moluwore gi gik moko duto mondiki e kitabuni.”
22 So Hilkiah and those whom the king had commanded went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter), and they spoke to her to that effect.
Hilkia gi jogo mane ruoth ooro kaachiel kode nodhi ir Hulda janabi madhako mane chi Shalum wuod Tokhath, ma wuod Hasra jarit kar keno mar lep lemo. Nodak Jerusalem e gwengʼ mar ariyo.
23 She said to them, “The LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘Tell the man who sent you to me,
Hulda jadolo madhako nowachonegi niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach jo-Israel wacho: Nyisuru ngʼatno mane oorou ira niya,
24 “The LORD says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah.
‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Abiro kelo masira e pinyni kendo kuom joma odakie, kaluwore gi kwongʼ duto mondikie kitabu mosesom e nyim ruodh Juda.
25 Because they have forsaken me, and have burnt incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands, therefore my wrath is poured out on this place, and it will not be quenched.’”’
Mirimba nosik kuom pinyni kendo ok norum nikech gisejwangʼa ka giwangʼo ubani ne nyiseche manono kendo ka gimiya mirima kuom lamo nyiseche mopa gi lwedo.’
26 But to the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the LORD, you shall tell him this, ‘The LORD, the God of Israel says: “About the words which you have heard,
Wachneuru ruodh Juda, mane oorou mondo upenja gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach jo-Israel wacho kaluwore gi weche musewinjo:
27 because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this place and against its inhabitants, and have humbled yourself before me, and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you,” says the LORD.
Nikech ne uwinjo wach kendo uboloru e nyim Nyasaye kane uwinjo weche mane owacho kuom pinyni kod joma odakie, kendo nikech ne uboloru e nyima, ma uyiecho lepu kuywak e nyima, omiyo asewinjo ywaku, Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
28 “Behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes won’t see all the evil that I will bring on this place and on its inhabitants.”’” They brought back this message to the king.
Koro anami iywe gi kwereni kendo noiki gi kwe. Ok inine masiche mabiro kelone pinyni gi joma odakie.’” Omiyo negidwoko wach ne ruoth.
29 Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Eka ruoth noluongo jodongo duto mag Juda kod Jerusalem kaachiel.
30 The king went up to the LORD’s house with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem—the priests, the Levites, and all the people, both great and small—and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the LORD’s house.
Nodhi nyaka e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ka en gi jo-Juda, jo-Jerusalem, jodolo, jo-Lawi, kaachiel gi ji duto momewo kod ma jochan. Nosomonegi weche duto mane ondiki e Kitabu mar Singruok mane osenwangʼ e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ka giwinjo.
31 The king stood in his place and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, his testimonies, and his statutes with all his heart and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.
Ruoth nochungʼ e bath siro kendo noketo winjruok mane oselal obedo kare e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kosingore ni enoluw Jehova Nyasaye kendo norit chikene gi wechene kod buchene gi chunye duto kod pache duto kendo norit weche mag singruok mondiki e kitabuni.
32 He caused all who were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand. The inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
Eka nomiyo jo-Jerusalem duto kod jo-Benjamin okwongʼore ni ginirit singruokno kendo jo-Jerusalem notimo mano kaluwore gi singruok mar Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kweregi.
33 Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that belonged to the children of Israel, and made all who were found in Israel to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. All his days they didn’t depart from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Josia nogolo gik makwero mag nyiseche manono e piny jo-Israel duto kendo nomiyo ji duto modak e piny Israel otiyo ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachgi. E ndalo duto mag ngimane ji ne ok oweyo luwo Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kweregi.
