2 Kings 22
1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.
Josiah el yac oalkosr ke el tokosrala lun Judah, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac tolngoul sie. Nina kial pa Jedidah acn natul Adaiah, sie mwet in siti srisrik Bozkath.
2 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, and walked in all the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn away to the right hand or to the left.
Josiah el oru ma LEUM GOD El insewowo kac. El fahsr tukun ma Tokosra David, papa matu tumal, el oru ke el arulana akos ma sap nukewa lun God.
3 In the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the LORD’s house, saying,
In yac aksingoul oalkosr ke Josiah el tokosra, el supwalla Shaphan, mwet sim inkul lun tokosra su wen natul Azaliah ac nutin natul Meshullam, nu in Tempul ac fahk ouinge nu sel,
4 “Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may count the money which is brought into the LORD’s house, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered of the people.
“Fahla nwe yorol Mwet Tol Fulat Hilkiah, ac siyuk sel ke lupan mani ma mwet tol ma orekma ke nien utyak nu in Tempul uh orani sin mwet uh.
5 Let them deliver it into the hand of the workers who have the oversight of the LORD’s house; and let them give it to the workers who are in the LORD’s house, to repair the damage to the house,
Fahkang nu sel elan sang mani an nu sin mwet ma kol onon ke Tempul ah. Elos in sang molela
6 to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house.
mwet kamtu, mwet musa, mwet akmusra, oayapa moli sak ac eot ma orekmakinyuk ke onon lalos ah.
7 However, no accounting shall be asked of them for the money delivered into their hand, for they deal faithfully.”
Mwet karingin orekma uh elos arulana suwohs ke orekma lalos, pwanang tia eneneyuk elos in aketeya orekmakinyen mani uh selos.”
8 Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the LORD’s house.” Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
Shaphan el usla sap soko lal tokosra inge nu sel Hilkiah, ac Hilkiah el fahkang nu sel lah el konauk Book in Ma Sap ah in Tempul. Hilkiah el sang book sac nu sel, ac Shaphan el riti.
9 Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, “Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hands of the workmen who have the oversight of the LORD’s house.”
Na el folokla nu yurin tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Mwet kulansap lom elos usla tari mani ma oan in Tempul, ac sang nu sin mwet kol orekma in onon sac.”
10 Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered a book to me.” Then Shaphan read it before the king.
Ac el sifilpa fahk, “Book se pa Hilkiahel se nu sik inge.” Na el riti nu sel tokosra.
11 When the king had heard the words of the book of the law, he tore his clothes.
Ke tokosra el lohng ke ritiyuk book sac, el fosrnga kac ac salik nuknuk lal,
12 The king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Achbor the son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying,
na el sapla nu sel Hilkiah mwet tol, nu sel Ahikam wen natul Shaphan, nu sel Achbor wen natul Micaiah, nu sel Shaphan mwet sim inkul sin tokosra, ac nu sel Asaiah mwet tutafpo fulat lun tokosra, ac fahk ouinge:
13 “Go enquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found; for great is the LORD’s wrath that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written concerning us.”
“Fahla aolyu ac mwet nukewa lun Judah, ac siyuk sin LEUM GOD lah mea kalmen mwe luti in book se inge. LEUM GOD lah mea kalmen mwe luti in book se inge. LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sesr mweyen mwet matu lasr meet ah elos tiana oru ma book se inge fahk in orek.”
14 So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked with her.
Hilkiah, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, ac Asaiah elos som in lolngok yurin mutan palu se pangpang Huldah, su muta in acn lalela sasu in Jerusalem. (Mukul tumal pa Shallum, wen natul Tikvah ac nutin natul Harhas. El pa liyaung nuknuk in alu lun Tempul.) Elos aketeya nu sel Huldah ma sikyak uh,
15 She said to them, “The LORD the God of Israel says, ‘Tell the man who sent you to me,
na el sap elos in folokla nu yorol tokosra, ac fahkak nu sel
16 “The LORD says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah has read.
kas inge sin LEUM GOD: “Nga ac fah kalyei acn Jerusalem ac mwet nukewa we, oana ma simla in book se tokosra el riti.
17 Because they have forsaken me and have burnt incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it will not be quenched.’”
Elos sisyula ac oru kisa lalos nu sin god saya, ac purakak kasrkusrak luk ke ma nukewa elos oru. Kasrkusrak luk arulana yohk lain Jerusalem, na ac fah tiana wanginla.
18 But to the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the LORD, tell him, “The LORD the God of Israel says, ‘Concerning the words which you have heard,
Nu sin tokosra sifacna, pa inge ma nga, LEUM GOD lun Israel, fahk uh: Kom lohng ma simla in book sac,
19 because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you,’ says the LORD.
ac kom auliyak ac sifacna akpusiselye kom ye mutuk, ac seya nuknuk lom ac tung ke kom lohng lah nga akola in kalyei Jerusalem ac mwet su muta we. Nga ac fah oru tuh acn Jerusalem in sie mwe aksangeng nu sin mwet in liye. Mwet uh ac fah orekmakin inen acn we oana sie kas in selnga. Tusruktu nga lohng pre lom an,
20 ‘Therefore behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the evil which I will bring on this place.’”’” So they brought this message back to the king.
ac mwe akkeok su nga akola in oru nu sin Jerusalem ac tia orekla nwe ke tukun kom misa. Nga ac fah lela kom in misa in misla.” Na mwet inge elos us kas inge ac folokla nu yorol Tokosra Josiah.
