2 Chronicles 34
1 Josie was of eiyte yeer, whanne he bigan to regne, and he regnede in Jerusalem oon and thritti yeer.
Yosia alikuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na nane alipoanza kutawala; alitawala miaka thelathini na moja katika Yerusalemu.
2 And he dide that, that was riytful in the siyt of the Lord; and yede in the waies of Dauid, his fadir, and bowide not to the riyt side nether to the left side.
Alifanya yaliyohaki katika macho ya Yahwe, na alitembea katiaka njia za Daudi babu yake, ha hakugeuka mbali iwe kulia au kushoto.
3 Forsothe in the eiytethe yeer of the rewme of his empire, whanne he was yit a child, he bigan to seke God of his fadir Dauid; and in the tweluethe yeer after that he bigan, he clenside Juda and Jerusalem fro hiy places, and wodis, and similacris, and grauun ymagis.
Kwa maana ndani ya miaka minane ya ya utawala wake, alipokuwa bado kijana, alianza kumtafuta Mungu wa Daudi, babu yake. Katika miaka ishirini, alianza kuisafisha Yuda na Yerusalemu kutoka sehemu za juu, vituo vya Maashera, na sanamu za kuchonga na sanamu za chuma ya kuyeyushwa.
4 And thei destrieden bifor hym the auteris of Baalym, and thei destrieden the symylacris, that weren put aboue. Also he hewide doun the wodis, and grauun ymagis, and brak to smale gobetis; and scateride abrood `the smale gobetis on the birielis of hem, that weren wont to offre `to tho.
Watu wakazivunja madhabahu za Baali katika uwepo wake; akazibomoa nguzo za Maashera na na zile sanamu za kuchonga, na sanamu za chuma ya kuyeyushwa katika vipande hadi zikawa mavumbi. Akayasamabaza mavumbi juu ya makaburi ya wale ambao walizitolea sadaka.
5 Ferthermore he brente the boonys of preestis in the auteris of idols, and he clenside Juda and Jerusalem.
Akaichoma mifupa ya makuhani wao juu ya madhabahu zao. Katika namna hii, akaisafisha Yuda na Yerusalemu.
6 But also he destriede alle idols in the citees of Manasses, and of Effraym, and of Symeon, `til to Neptalym.
Alifanya hivyo hivyo katika miji ya Manase, Efraimu, na Simeoni, sehemu zote hadi Neftali, na katika maeneo yaliyoizunguka.
7 And whanne he hadde scateride the auteris, and hadde al to-broke in to gobetis the wodis, and grauun ymagis, and hadde destried alle templis of ydols fro al the lond of Israel, he turnede ayen in to Jerusalem.
Alizivunja madhabahu, akayapiga Maashera, na sanamu za kuchonga kuwa unga, na kuzisambaratisha madhabahu zote za uvumba katika nchi yote ya Israeli; kisha akarudi Yerusalemu.
8 Therfor in the eiytenthe yeer of his rewme, whanne the lond and temple `of the Lord was clensid nowe, he sente Saphan, the sone of Helchie, and Masie, the prince of the citee, and Joa, the sone of Joachaz, chaunceler, that thei schulden reparele the hous `of his Lord God.
Sasa katika kipindi cha miaka ishirini ya utawala wake, baada ya Yosia kuisafisha nchi na hekalu, alimtuma Shafani mwana wa Azali, Manaseya, akida wa mji, na Yoa mwana wa Yoahazi katibu, kuikarabati nyumba ya Yahwe Mungu wake.
9 Whiche camen to Helchie, the grete preest; and whanne thei hadden take of hym the money, which was brouyt in to the hows of the Lord; and which monei the dekenes and porteris hadden gaderid of Manasses, and of Effraym, and of alle the residue men of Israel, and of al Juda and Beniamyn, and of the dwelleris of Jerusalem,
Wakaenda kwa Hilkia, kuhani mkuu, na wakakabidhi kwake fedha ambazo zilikuwa zimeletwa kwenye nyumbaa ya Mungu, ambazo Walawi, walinzi wa milingo, walikuwa wamekusanya kutoka Manase na Efraimu, kutoka kwa masalia wote wa Israeli, kutoka Yuda yote na Benyamini, na kutoka kwa wakaaji wa Yerusalemu.
10 thei yauen it in the hondis of hem that weren souereyns of the werk men in the hows of the Lord, that thei schulden restore the temple, and reparele alle feble thingis.
Wakaikabidhi ile fedha kwa watu waliosimamia kazi ya hekalu la Yahwe. Watu wale wakawalipa wafanya kazi walioilikarabati na kulijenga tena hekalu.
11 And thei yauen that monei to the crafti men and masouns, for to bie stoonys hewid out of the `delues, ether quarreris, and trees to the ioynyngis of the bildyng, and to the coupling of housis, whiche the kingis of Juda hadden destried.
Wakawalipa maseremala na wajenzi kwa ajili ya kununulia mawe ya kuchonga na mbao kwa ajili ya kuungia, na kutengeneza boriti za nyumba amabazo baadha ya wafalme wa Yuda waliziacha zikachakaa.
12 Whiche men diden feithfuli alle thingis. Sotheli the souereyns of worcheris weren Jabath, and Abdie, of the sones of Merari; Zacarie, and Mosallam, of the sones of Caath; whiche hastiden the werk; alle weren dekenes, kunnynge to synge with orguns.
Watu waliifanya kazi kwa uaminifu. Wasimamizi wao Yahathi na Obadia, Walawi, wa wana wa Merari; na Zekaria na Meshulamu, kutoka kwa wana wa Wakohathi. Walawi wengine, wote kati ya wale waliokuwa wanamziki wazuri sana, kwa ukaribu waliwaelekeza watendakazi.
13 Sotheli ouer them that baren birthuns to dyuerse vsis weren the scribis, and maistris of the dekenes, and porteris.
Walawi hawa walikuwa viongoziz wa wale waliobeba vifaa vya ujenzi na watu wengine wote waliofanya kazi kwa namna yoyote ile. Pia palikuwa na Walawi ambao walikuwa makatibu, watawala na walinda lango.
14 And whanne thei baren out the monei, that was borun in to the temple of the Lord, Helchie, `the preest, foond the book of the lawe of the Lord bi the hond of Moises.
Walipoileta fedha ambayo ilikuwa imeletwa kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe, Hilkia yule kuhani akakiokota kitabu cha sheri ya Yahwe ambacho kilikuwa kimetolewa kupitia Musa.
15 And he seide to Saphan, the writere, Y haue founde the book of the lawe in the hows of the Lord.
Hilkia akamwambia Shafani yule mwandishi, “Nimekiokota kitabu cha sheria katika nyumba ya Yahwe”. Hilikia akakileta kitabu kwa Shefani.
16 And Helchie took to Saphan, and he bar in the book to the king; and telde to hym, and seide, Lo! alle thingis ben fillid, whiche thou hast youe in to the hondis of thi seruauntis.
Shefani akakipelek kitabu kwa mfalme, na pia akatoa taarifa kwake, akisema, “Watumishi wako wanafanya kila kitu walichokabidhiwa.
17 Thei han wellyd togidere the siluere, which is foundun in the hous of the Lord; and it is youun to the souereyns of the crafti men, and makynge dyuerse werkis;
Waliitoa feedha yote amabayo ilionekana katika nyumba ya Yahwe, na waliikabidhi katika mikono ya wasimamizi na watendakazi.”
18 ferthermore Helchie, the preest, took to me this book. And whanne he hadde rehersid this book in the presence of the kyng,
Shefani mwandishi akamwambia mfalme.” Hilkia kuhani amenipa kitabu.” Kisha Shefani akamsomea mfalme katika hicho kitabu.
19 and he hadde herd the wordis of the lawe, he to-rente hise clothis; and he comaundide to Helchie,
Ikawa kwamba mfalme alipokuwa ameyasikia maneno ya sheria, aliyararua mavazi yake.
20 and to Aichan, the sone of Saphan, and to Abdon, the sone of Mycha, and to Saphan, the scryuen, and to Asaie, the seruaunt of the kyng,
Mflme akawaamuru Hilkia, Ahikamu mwana wa Shafani, Abdoni mwana wa Mika, Shafani mwaandishi, na Asaya, mtumishi wake, akisema,
21 and seide, Go ye, and preie the Lord for me, and for the resydue men of Israel and of Juda, on alle the wordis of this book, which is foundun. For greet veniaunce of the Lord hath droppid on vs, for oure fadris kepten not the wordis of the Lord, to do alle thingis that ben writun in this book.
“Nendeni mkaulize mapenzi ya Yahwe kwa ajili yangu, na kwa wale waliobaki katika Israeli na Yuda, kwa sababu ya maneno ya kitabu ambacho kimeokotwa. Kwa maani ni kikuu, kwa sababu babu zetu hawakuyasikiliza maneno ya kitabu hiki ili kuyatii yote yaliyokuwa yameandikwa ndani yake”. (Badala ya “ambayo yamemiminwa juu yetu”, baadhi ya matoleo yanasema “ambayo yamemulikwa zidi yetu”).
22 Therfor Helchie yede, and thei that weren sent togidere of the king, to Olda, the prophetesse, the wijf of Sellum, sone of Thecuath, sone of Asra, kepere of clothis, which Olda dwellide in Jerusalem in the secounde warde; and thei spaken to hir the wordis, whiche we telden bifore.
Kwa hiyo Hilkia, na wale ambao mfalme alikuwa amewaamuru, wakaenda kwa Hulda nabii wa kike, mke wa Shalumu mwana wa Tohathi mwana wa Hasra, mtunza mavazi (aliishi katika Yerusalemu katika wilaya ya pili), na walizungumza naye katika namna hii.
23 And sche answeride to hem, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Seie ye to the man, that sente you to me,
Akasema kwao, “Hivi ndivyo Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli, anasema: Mwambie mtu aliyewatuma kwangu,
24 The Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal brynge ynne yuels on this place, and on the dwelleris therof, and alle the cursyngis that ben writun in this book, which thei redden bifor the kyng of Juda.
Hivi ndivyo Yahwe anasema: Ona, niko karibu kuleta maafa juu ya sehemu hii na wakaaaji wake, laana zote zilizoandikwa katika kitabu walichokisoma mbele ya mfalme wa Yuda.
25 For thei han forsake me, and han sacrified to alien goddis, for to terre me to wrathfulnesse in alle the werkis of her hondis; therfor my strong veniaunce schal droppe on this place, and it schal not be quenchid.
Kwa sababu wamenisahau na wametoa sadaka za uvumba kwa miungu mingine, ili kwamba waniweke katika hasira kwa matendo yote waliyofanya — kwa hiyo hasira yangu itamiminwa juu ya hii sehemu, na haitazimishwa. (Badala ya “ambayo yamemiminwa juu yetu”, baadhi ya matoleo yana “amabyo yamemlikwa zidi yetu”.)
26 But speke ye thus to the kyng of Juda, that sente you to preye the Lord, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, For thou herdist the wordis of the book,
Lakini kwa mfalme wa Yuda, aliyewatuma kumuuliza Yahwe alichopaswa kufanya, hivi ndivyo mtakavyosema kwake, 'Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli anasema hivi: Kuhusu maneno uliyosika,
27 and thin herte is maad neisch, and thou art mekid in the siyt of the Lord of these thingis that ben seide ayens this place and the dwelleris of Jerusalem, and thou hast reuerensid my face, and hast to-rente thi clothis, and hast wepte bifor me; also Y haue herd thee, seith the Lord.
kwa sababu moyo wako ulipondeka, na ulijinyenyekeza mbele yangu ulipoyasikia maneno yake zidi ya sehemu hii na wakaaji wake, na kwa sababu umejinyenyekeza mwenyewe mbele zangu, pia nimekusikiliza —hili ni azimio la Yahwe—
28 For now Y schal gadere thee to thi fadris, and thou schalt be borun in to thi sepulcre in pees; and thin iyen schulen not se al yuel, which Y schal brynge yn on this place, and on the dwelleris therof. Therfor thei telden to the king alle thingis, whiche Olda hadde seid.
ona, nitakukusanya kwa mababu zako. Utakusanywa katika kaburi lako kwa amani, na macho yako hayataona maafa yoyoye nitakayoleta juu ya sehemu hii na wakaaji wake”. Wale watu wakarudisha ujumbe huu kwa mfalme.
29 And aftir that he hadde clepid togidere alle the eldere men of Juda and of Jerusalem,
Mfalme akatuma wajumbe na kuwakusanya wazee wote wa Yuda na Yerusalemu.
30 he stiede in to the hows of the Lord, and togidere alle the men of Juda, `and the dwelleris of Jerusalem, preestis, and dekenes, and al the puple, fro the leeste `til to the moste; to whiche herynge in the hows of the Lord, the kyng redde alle the wordis of the book.
Kisha mfalme akaenda kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe, na watu wote wa Yuda wakaaji wa Yerusalemu, na makuhani, Walawi, na watu wote, kuanzia wakubwa hadi wadogo. Kisha akasoma mbele zao maneno yote ya kitabu cha Agano kilichokuwa kimeokotwa katika nyumba ya Yahwe.
31 And he stood in his trone, and smoot a boond of pees bifor the Lord, for to `go aftir hym, and to kepe the comaundementis, and witnessyngis, and iustifiyngis of hym, in al his herte and in al his soule; and to do tho thingis that weren writun in that book, which he hadde red.
Mfalme aksimama katika sehemu yake na kufanya aganao mbele za Yahwe, kutembea mbele za Yahwe, na kuzishika amri zake, taratibu zake, na sheria zake, kwa moyo wake wote na roho yake yote, kuyatii maneno ya agano yaliyokuwa yameandikwa katika agano ambayo yalikuwa yameandikwa katika kitabu hiki.
32 And he chargide greetli on this thing alle men, that weren foundun in Jerusalem and Beniamyn; and the dwellers of Jerusalem diden aftir the couenaunt of the Lord God of her fadris.
Aliwasababisha wote walioonekana katika Yerusalemu na Benyamini kusimama kwa agano. Wakaaji wa Yerusalemu wakatembea kwa agano la Mungu, Mungu wa babu zao.
33 Therfor Josie dide awei alle abhomynaciouns fro alle the cuntreis of the sones of Israel; and he made alle men, that weren residue in Israel, to serue her Lord God; in alle the daies of his lijf thei yeden not awei fro the Lord God of her fadris.
Yosia akapeleka mbali mambo yote ya machukizo kutoka kwenye nchi iliyomilikiw na watu wa Israeli. Akamfanya kila mtu katika Israeli amwabudu Yahwe, Mungu wao. Kwa maisha siku zake zote, hawakugeka mbali kwa kutomfuata Yahwe, Mungu wa mababu zao.
