2 Kings 23
1 The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
Nígbà náà ọba pe gbogbo àwọn àgbàgbà Juda àti Jerusalẹmu jọ.
2 The king went up to Yahweh’s house, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him—with the priests, the prophets, and all the people, both small and great; and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in Yahweh’s house.
Ó gòkè lọ sí ilé Olúwa pẹ̀lú àwọn ọkùnrin Juda, àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu, àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn wòlíì—gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn láti ibi kéékèèké sí ńlá. Ó kà á sí etí ìgbọ́ ọ wọn, gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó wà nínú ìwé májẹ̀mú, tí a ti rí nínú ilé Olúwa.
3 The king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before Yahweh to walk after Yahweh and to keep his commandments, his testimonies, and his statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book; and all the people agreed to the covenant.
Ọba sì dúró lẹ́bàá òpó, ó sì sọ májẹ̀mú di tuntun níwájú Olúwa, láti tẹ̀lé Olúwa àti láti pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́, ìlànà àti òfin pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ẹ̀mí rẹ̀, àti láti ṣe ìwádìí àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ májẹ̀mú tí a kọ sínú ìwé yìí. Nígbà náà, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì ṣèlérí fúnra wọn sí májẹ̀mú náà.
4 The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out of Yahweh’s temple all the vessels that were made for Baal, for the Asherah, and for all the army of the sky; and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.
Ọba sì pàṣẹ fún Hilkiah olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn, àlùfáà tí ó tẹ̀lé e ní ipò àti àwọn olùṣọ́nà láti yọ kúrò nínú ilé Olúwa gbogbo ohun èlò tí a ṣe fún Baali àti Aṣerah àti gbogbo ẹgbẹ́ ogun ọ̀run. Ó sì sun wọ́n ní ìta Jerusalẹmu ní pápá àfonífojì Kidironi. Ó sì kó eérú wọn jọ sí Beteli.
5 He got rid of the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places around Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, to the moon, to the planets, and to all the army of the sky.
Ó sì kúrò pẹ̀lú àwọn àlùfáà abọ̀rìṣà tí a yàn láti ọwọ́ ọba Juda láti sun tùràrí ní ibi gíga ti ìlú Juda àti àwọn tí ó yí Jerusalẹmu ká. Àwọn tí ó ń sun tùràrí sí Baali, sí oòrùn àti òṣùpá, sí àwọn àmì ìràwọ̀ àti sí gbogbo ẹgbẹ́ ogun ọ̀run.
6 He brought out the Asherah from Yahweh’s house, outside of Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on the graves of the common people.
Ó mú ère òrìṣà Aṣerah láti ilé Olúwa sí àfonífojì Kidironi ní ìta Jerusalẹmu, ó sì sun wọ́n níbẹ̀. Ó lọ̀ ọ́ bí àtíkè ó sì fọ́n eruku náà sórí isà òkú àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wọ́pọ̀.
7 He broke down the houses of the male shrine prostitutes that were in Yahweh’s house, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah.
Ó sì wó ibùgbé àwọn ọkùnrin alágbèrè ojúbọ òrìṣà lulẹ̀. Tí ó wà nínú ilé Olúwa àti ibi tí àwọn obìnrin tí ń ṣe iṣẹ́ aṣọ híhun fún òrìṣà Aṣerah.
8 He 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; and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city.
Josiah kó gbogbo àwọn àlùfáà láti àwọn ìlú Juda ó sì ba ibi mímọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì jẹ́ láti Geba sí Beerṣeba, níbi tí àwọn àlùfáà ti sun tùràrí. Ó wó àwọn ojúbọ lulẹ̀ ní ẹnu ìlẹ̀kùn—ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àbáwọlé ti Joṣua, baálẹ̀ ìlú ńlá tí ó wà ní apá òsì ẹnu ìlẹ̀kùn ìlú ńlá.
9 Nevertheless the priests of the high places didn’t come up to Yahweh’s altar in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brothers.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ wí pé, àwọn àlùfáà ibi gíga kò jọ́sìn ní ibi pẹpẹ Olúwa ní Jerusalẹmu, wọ́n jẹ nínú àkàrà aláìwú pẹ̀lú àwọn àlùfáà ẹlẹgbẹ́ ẹ wọn.
10 He defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
Ó sì ba ohun mímọ́ Tofeti jẹ́, tí ó wà ní àfonífojì Beni-Hinnomu, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó lè lò ó fún ẹbọ rírú fún ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin tàbí ọmọ rẹ̀ obìnrin nínú iná sí Moleki.
11 He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun, at the entrance of Yahweh’s house, by the room of Nathan Melech the officer who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
Ó sì kúrò láti ẹnu-ọ̀nà àbáwọlé sí ilé Olúwa, àwọn ẹṣin tí àwọn ọba Juda ti yà sọ́tọ̀ sí oòrùn náà. Wọ́n wà nínú ilé ẹjọ́ lẹ́bàá yàrá oníṣẹ́ tí orúkọ rẹ̀ a máa jẹ́ Natani-Meleki. Josiah sì sun àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ tí a yà sọ́tọ̀ fún oòrùn.
12 The king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of Yahweh’s house, and beat them down from there, and cast their dust into the brook Kidron.
Ó wó o palẹ̀ pẹpẹ tí àwọn ọba Juda ti wọ́n gbé dúró ní orí òrùlé lẹ́bàá yàrá òkè ti Ahasi pẹ̀lú àwọn pẹpẹ tí Manase ti kọ́ nínú ilé ẹjọ́ méjèèjì sí ilé Olúwa. Ó ṣí wọn kúrò níbẹ̀, ó fọ́ wọn sí wẹ́wẹ́. Ó sì da ekuru wọn sínú àfonífojì Kidironi.
13 The king defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon.
Ọba pẹ̀lú ba ohun mímọ́ àwọn ibi gíga jẹ́ tí ó wà ní ìhà ìlà-oòrùn Jerusalẹmu ní ìhà gúúsù ti òkè ìbàjẹ́—èyí tí Solomoni ọba Israẹli ti kọ́ fún Aṣtoreti ọlọ́run ìríra àwọn ará Sidoni, fún Kemoṣi ọlọ́run ìríra àwọn ará Moabu àti fún Moleki, ọlọ́run ìríra àwọn ènìyàn Ammoni.
14 He broke in pieces the pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and filled their places with men’s bones.
Josiah fọ́ òkúta yíyà sọ́tọ̀, ó sì gé ère Aṣerah lulẹ̀. Ó sì bo ẹ̀gbẹ̀gbẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú egungun ènìyàn.
15 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.
Àní pẹpẹ tí ó wà ní Beteli ibi gíga tí Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati dá. Tí ó ti fa Israẹli láti ṣẹ̀, àní pẹpẹ náà àti ibi gíga tí ó fọ́ túútúú. Ó jó àwọn ibi gíga, ó sì lọ̀ ọ́ sí ẹ̀tù, ó sì sun ère Aṣerah pẹ̀lú.
16 As Josiah turned himself, he spied the tombs that were there in the mountain; and he sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burned them on the altar, and defiled it, according to Yahweh’s word which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.
Nígbà náà, Josiah wò yíká, nígbà tí ó sì rí àwọn isà òkú tí ó wà níbẹ̀ ní ẹ̀bá òkè, ó yọ egungun kúrò lára wọn, ó sì jó wọn lórí pẹpẹ láti sọ ọ́ di èérí ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí a ti kéde láti ọ̀dọ̀ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run tí ó ti àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí tẹ́lẹ̀.
17 Then he said, “What monument is that which I see?” The men of the city told him, “It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of Bethel.”
Ọba sì béèrè pé, “Kí ni ọwọ̀n isà òkú yẹn tí mo rí?” Àwọn ọkùnrin ìlú ńlá wí pé, “Ó sàmì sí isà òkú ènìyàn Ọlọ́run tí ó wá láti Juda, tí ó sì kéde ìdojúkọ pẹpẹ Beteli, ohun kan wọ̀nyí tí ìwọ ti ṣe sí wọn.”
18 He said, “Let him be! Let no one move his bones.” So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.
“Fi sílẹ̀ nìkan,” Ó wí pé. “Má ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni ó da àwọn egungun rẹ̀ láàmú.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n dá egungun rẹ̀ sí àti ti àwọn wòlíì tí ó wá láti Samaria.
19 All the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke Yahweh to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe ní Beteli, Josiah sì kúrò, ó sì ba gbogbo ojúbọ òrìṣà ti ibi gíga jẹ́, tí àwọn ọba Israẹli ti kọ́ sí àwọn ìlú ní Samaria, tí ó ti mú Olúwa bínú.
20 He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burned men’s bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem.
Josiah dúńbú gbogbo àwọn àlùfáà ibi gíga lórí pẹpẹ. Ó sì sun egungun ènìyàn lórí wọn. Nígbà náà, ó padà lọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
21 The king commanded all the people, saying, “Keep the Passover to Yahweh your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.”
Ọba pàṣẹ fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Ẹ ṣe ìrántí àjọ ìrékọjá sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ sí inú ìwé májẹ̀mú yìí.”
22 Surely there was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
Kì í ṣe láti ọjọ́ àwọn Juda tí ó tọ́ Israẹli, ní gbogbo àwọn ọjọ́ àwọn ọba Israẹli àti àwọn ọba Juda. Ṣé wọ́n ti ṣe ìrántí àjọ ìrékọjá rí.
23 but in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was kept to Yahweh in Jerusalem.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọdún kejìdínlógún tí ọba Josiah, àjọ ìrékọjá yìí ni a ṣe ìrántí sí Olúwa ní Jerusalẹmu.
24 Moreover, Josiah removed those who had familiar spirits, the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in Yahweh’s house.
Síwájú sí, Josiah sì lé àwọn oṣó àti àwọn ẹ̀mí ní àwọn ìdílé, àti àwọn òrìṣà àti gbogbo àwọn nǹkan ìríra tí a rí ní Juda àti ní Jerusalẹmu. Èyí ni ó ṣe kí ó le è mú ọ̀rọ̀ òfin náà ṣe ní ti òfin tí a kọ sínú ìwé tí Hilkiah àlùfáà ti rí nínú ilé Olúwa.
25 There was no king like him before him, who turned to Yahweh with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; and there was none like him who arose after him.
Kò sì sí ọba kankan níwájú tàbí lẹ́yìn Josiah tí ó dàbí rẹ̀, tí ó yí padà sí olúwa tinútinú àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe tọkàntọkàn pẹ̀lú gbogbo ẹ̀mí i rẹ̀, pẹ̀lú gbogbo agbára rẹ̀ ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú gbogbo òfin Mose.
26 Notwithstanding, Yahweh didn’t turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocation with which Manasseh had provoked him.
Bí ó ti wù kí ó rí Olúwa kò yípadà kúrò nínú ìmúná ìbínú ńlá rẹ̀ tí ó jó sí Juda, nítorí gbogbo èyí tí Manase ti ṣe láti mú un bínú.
27 Yahweh said, “I will also remove Judah out of my sight, as I have removed Israel; and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, ‘My name shall be there.’”
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa wí pé, “Èmi yóò mú Juda kúrò pẹ̀lú níwájú mi, bí mo ti mú Israẹli, èmi yóò sì kó Jerusalẹmu, ìlú ńlá tí mo yàn àti ilé Olúwa yìí, nípa èyí tí mo sọ, ‘Níbẹ̀ ni orúkọ mi yóò wà?’”
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Fún ti ìyókù iṣẹ́ nígbà ìjọba Josiah, àti gbogbo ohun tí ó ṣe, ṣé a kò kọ wọ́n sí inú ìwé ìtàn ayé àwọn ọba Juda?
29 In his days Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and King Josiah went against him, but Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo when he saw him.
Nígbà tí Josiah jẹ́ ọba, Farao Neko ọba Ejibiti gòkè lọ sí odò Eufurate láti lọ ran ọba Asiria lọ́wọ́. Ọba Josiah jáde lọ láti lọ bá a pàdé lójú ogun ṣùgbọ́n Neko dojúkọ ọ́, ó sì pa á ní Megido.
30 His servants carried him dead in a chariot from Megiddo, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s place.
Ìránṣẹ́ Josiah gbé ara rẹ̀ wá nínú kẹ̀kẹ́ láti Megido sí Jerusalẹmu ó sì sin ín sínú isà òkú rẹ̀. Àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà mú Jehoahasi ọmọ Josiah. Ó fi àmì òróró yàn án, ó sì ṣe é ní ọba ní ipò baba a rẹ̀.
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 the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Jehoahasi sì jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́tàlélógún nígbà tí ó di ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún oṣù mẹ́ta. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ a máa jẹ́ Hamutali ọmọbìnrin Jeremiah; ó wá láti Libina.
32 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, according to all that his fathers had done.
Ó ṣe búburú lójú Olúwa gẹ́gẹ́ bí baba a rẹ̀ ti ṣe.
33 Pharaoh Necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
Farao Neko sì fi sí inú ìdè ní Ribla ní ilẹ̀ Hamati, kí ó má ba à lè jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu. Ó sì tan Juda jẹ fun iye ìwọ̀n ẹgbẹ̀rin tálẹ́ǹtì wúrà kan.
34 Pharaoh Necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim; but he took Jehoahaz away, and he came to Egypt and died there.
Farao Neko ṣe Eliakimu ọmọ Josiah ní ọba ní ipò baba rẹ̀ Josiah. Ó sì yí orúkọ Eliakimu padà sí Jehoiakimu. Ṣùgbọ́n ó mú Jehoahasi, ó sì gbé e lọ sí Ejibiti, níbẹ̀ ni ó sì kú.
35 Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh. He exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, from everyone according to his assessment, to give it to Pharaoh Necoh.
Jehoiakimu sì san fún Farao Neko fàdákà àti wúrà tí ó béèrè. Láti ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ó bu owó òde fún ilẹ̀ náà láti san, ó fi agbára gba fàdákà àti wúrà láti ọwọ́ àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú iye tí a pín.
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 the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
Jehoiakimu jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n nígbà tí ó di ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mọ́kànlá orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ ni Sebida ọmọbìnrin Pedaiah ó wá láti Ruma.
37 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, according to all that his fathers had done.
Ó sì ṣe búburú lójú Olúwa gẹ́gẹ́ bí baba a rẹ̀ ti ṣe.
