2 Chronicles 34
1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
Josiah el yac oalkosr ke el mutawauk in tokosra, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac tolngoul sie.
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.
El oru ma su LEUM GOD El insewowo kac, ac fahsrna tukun srikasrak lal Tokosra David, papa matu tumal, ac arulana karinganang in akos ma sap nukewa lun God.
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.
In yac se akoalkosr ma Josiah el tokosra, ke el srakna mwet fusr, el mutawauk in alu nu sin God lal Tokosra David, papa matu tumal. Tukun yac akosr el mutawauk in kunausla acn in alu lun mwet pegan, ac ma sruloala ke god mutan Asherah, ac ma sruloala nukewa saya.
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.
El sap pac mwet lal in fukulya loang ma mwet uh alu nu sel Baal we, ac kunausla loang in kisakin mwe keng su oan apkuran nu ke ma inge. Elos tuktukya ma sruloala kacl Asherah ac ma sruloala nukewa saya, nwe ke mokutkuti, na elos sisalik kutkut inge nu fin kulyuk lun mwet su tuh orek kisa nu ke ma inge.
5 He burnt the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
El esukak srin mwet tol lun mwet pegan fin loang uh, yen elos tuh alu we. Ke el oru ma inge nukewa, el oru tuh acn Judah ac Jerusalem in sifilpa nasnasla.
6 He did this in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, around in their ruins.
El oru ouiya inge in siti saya pac, ac in acn nukewa ma akkolukyeyukla in acn Manasseh, Ephraim, ac Simeon, fahla nwe ke sun acn Naphtali in acn epang.
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.
In acn nukewa ke Tokosrai Epang, el fukulya loang ac ma sruloala kacl Asherah, ac tuktukya ma sruloala nwe ke mokutkuti, ac lipikya loang lun mwe keng. Na el folokla nu 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.
In yac se aksingoul oalkosr ma Tokosra Josiah el leum, tukun el kunausla alu lun mwet pegan in tuh aknasnasyela facl sac ac Tempul, el supwala mwet tolu in akwoyela Tempul lun LEUM GOD. Inelos pa Shaphan wen natul Azaliah, Maaseiah governor lun acn Jerusalem, ac Joah wen natul Joahaz, sie mwet pwapa fulat.
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.
Mani ma mwet Levi su topang ke mutunpot elos eis in Tempul, itukyang nu sel Hilkiah, mwet Tol Fulat. (Mani inge ma orekeni sin mwet Ephraim ac Manasseh, ac mwet in acn saya ke Tokosrai Epang, oayapa sin mwet Judah, mwet Benjamin, ac mwet 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.
Na mani inge itukyang nu sin mwet tolu ma kol mwet su orekma in akwoyela Tempul, ac elos sang nu sin
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.
kamtu ac mwet musa in moli eot ac sak ma orekmakinyuk in akwoyela lohm nukewa ma tokosra lun Judah fuhlela nwe kulawi.
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.
Mwet orekma inge elos arulana suwohs ac pwaye ke ma elos oru. Mwet Levi akosr pa kol orekma se inge: Jahath ac Obadiah ke sou lal Merari, ac Zechariah ac Meshullam ke sou lal Kohath. (Mwet Levi nukewa arulana pisrla ke srital mwe on.)
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.
Kutu mwet Levi elos mwet kol ke wiwa kako ac karingin mwet su oru kutu pac orekma saya, ac kutu selos mwet sim ac mwet topang mutunpot uh.
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.
Ke pacl se utukla mani liki iwen filma, Hilkiah el konauk book in Ma Sap lun LEUM GOD— Ma Sap su God El tuh sang nu sel Moses.
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.
El fahk nu sel Shaphan, “Nga konauk book in Ma Sap se inge in Tempul,” ac el sang book sac nu sel Shaphan,
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.
ac Shaphan el usla nu yurin tokosra ac fahk, “Kut orala tari ma nukewa ma kom sapkin.
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.”
Kut usla mani ma orekeni oan in Tempul, ac sang nu sin mwet orekma ac mwet kol lalos.”
18 Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book.” Shaphan read from it to the king.
Na el sifilpa fahk, “Book se pa Hilkiah el se nu sik inge.” Ac el riti nu sin tokosra.
19 When the king had heard the words of the law, he tore his clothes.
Ke tokosra el lohng ma ritiyuk in book sac, el oela ac seya nuknuk lal.
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,
Ac el sapla nu sel Hilkiah, ac Ahikam wen natul Shaphan, ac Abdon wen natul Micaiah, ac Shaphan mwet sim inkul lun tokosra, ac Asaiah mwet tutafpo fulat lal tokosra, ac fahk ouinge:
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.”
“Kowos som inek ac inen mwet su srakna muta in Israel ac Judah, ac siyuk sin LEUM GOD lah mea kalmen mwe luti su oan in book se inge. LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sesr, mweyen mwet matu lasr elos tia akos kas lun LEUM GOD, ac elos tia oru ma book se inge fahk in orek.”
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.
Ke sripen sap se lal tokosra inge, Hilkiah ac mwet welul elos som lolngok nu sin mutan palu se pangpang Huldah, su muta in acn sasu in Jerusalem. (Mukul tumal pa Shallum wen natul Tikvah, wen natul Harhas, ac el pa liyaung nuknuk mutal in Tempul.) Elos aketeya nu sin mutan sac ke ma sikyak,
23 She said to them, “The LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘Tell the man who sent you to me,
na el fahk nu selos mu elos in folokla nu yurin tokosra ac sang
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.
kas lun LEUM GOD inge nu sel, su fahk, “Nga fah kalyei Jerusalem ac mwet nukewa we ke mwe selnga su simla ke book se ma ritiyuk nu sel tokosra.
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.’”’
Elos ngetla likiyu ac orek kisa nu sin god saya, ac ouinge elos akkasrkusrakyeyu ke ma nukewa elos orala. Kasrkusrak luk tayak lain Jerusalem, na ac fah tia kunla.
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,
Ac nu sel tokosra, pa inge ma nga, LEUM GOD lun Israel, ac fahk: Kom tuh lohng ma simla in book sac,
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.
ac kom auliyak ac akpusiselye kom ye mutuk. Kom salik nuknuk lom ac tung ke kom lohng ma nga akola in oru in kalyei Jerusalem ac mwet we. Nga lohng pre lom,
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.
ouinge mwe kalya se su nga akoo nu sin Jerusalem, ac fah tia orek nwe ke tukun kom misa. Nga fah lela tuh kom in misa in misla.” Na mwet inge us kas inge ac folokla nu yorol Tokosra Josiah.
29 Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Tokosra Josiah el pangon mwet kol nukewa lun Judah ac Jerusalem,
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.
ac elos tukeni welul som nu ke Tempul. Mwet tol ac mwet Levi ac mwet nukewa saya, mwet kasrup ac mwet sukasrup oana sie, elos nukewa wi som. Ye mutun mwet inge nukewa, tokosra el riti book in wuleang sac nufon, ma tuh koneyukyak in Tempul.
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.
El tu ke sru soko ma sriyukla nu sin tokosra, ac orala sie wulela yurin LEUM GOD, in aksol ac karinganang ma sap ac oakwuk lal ke insial kewa ac ke ngunal kewa, ac in moulkin ma nukewa ma oan ke wulela sac, oana ke simla in book sac.
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.
El oru tuh mwet Benjamin ac mwet nukewa saya su wi tukeni in Jerusalem, elos in wulela tuh elos fah karinganang wuleang se inge. Ouinge mwet Jerusalem elos akos ma nukewa ma oakwuki ke wuleang se ma elos orala yurin God lun papa tumalos.
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.
Tokosra Josiah el kunausla nufon ma sruloala fohkfok ma oan in acn lun mwet Israel. Na ke lusen pacl el moul, el sapkin mwet uh in kulansupu LEUM GOD lun papa matu tumalos.
