< 2 Chronicles 34 >
1 A son of eight years [is] Josiah in his reigning, and thirty and one years he hath reigned in Jerusalem,
Josiah a manghai vaengah kum rhet lo ca pueng tih Jerusalem ah kum sawmthum kum khat manghai.
2 and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walketh in the ways of David his father, and hath not turned aside — right or left.
Tedae BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem a saii phoeiah a napa David kah longpuei ah a pongpa dongah banvoei bantang la phael pawh.
3 And in the eighth year of his reign (and he yet a youth), he hath begun to seek to the God of David his father, and in the twelfth year he hath begun to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the shrines, and the graven images, and the molten images.
A manghai hang vaengah kum rhet lo tih amah camoe pueng dae a napa David kah Pathen te toem hamla a tong. Kum hlai nit vaengah Judah neh Jerusalem te caihcil hamla a tong tih hmuensang neh Asherah, mueidaep neh mueihlawn khaw a khoe.
4 And they break down before him the altars of the Baalim, and the images that [are] on high above them he hath cut down, and the shrines, and the graven images, and the molten images, he hath broken and beaten small, and streweth on the surface of the graves of those sacrificing to them,
Baal rhoek kah hmueihtuk te anih mikhmuh ah a palet uh tih a so hang kah bunglawn neh Asherah te khaw a top. Mueidaep neh mueihlawn te a dae tih a tip sak. Te phoeiah tah te rhoek taengkah aka nawn rhoek kah phuel hman ah a haeh.
5 and the bones of the priests he hath burnt on their altars, and cleanseth Judah and Jerusalem,
Khosoih rhoek kah a rhuh te khaw amah hmueihtuk, hmueihtuk ah a hoeh tih Judah neh Jerusalem te a caihcil.
6 and in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their tools, round about.
Manasseh khopuei rhoek neh Ephraim ah khaw, Simeon neh tlang kah Naphtali khaw, a kaepvai kah amih im te a cunghang neh a saii pah.
7 And he breaketh down the altars and the shrines, and the graven images he hath beaten down very small, and all the images he hath cut down in all the land of Israel, and turneth back to Jerusalem.
Hmueihtuk te a palet uh tih Asherah neh mueidaep te khaw a tip la a phop. Israel khohmuen tom kah bunglawn boeih te a top phoeiah Jerusalem la mael.
8 And in the eighteenth year of his reign, to purify the land and the house he hath sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah head of the city, and Joah son of Johaz the remembrancer, to strengthen the house of Jehovah his God.
A manghai te kum hlai rhet vaengah tah khohmuen neh im caihcil hamla Azaliah capa Shaphan a tueih. A Pathen BOEIPA im aka duel ham te khocil aka khoem Jehoahaz capa Joah neh khopuei mangpa Maaseiah te a khueh.
9 And they come in unto Hilkiah the high priest, and they give the money that is brought in to the house of God, that the Levites, keeping the threshold, have gathered from the hand of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah, and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Te phoeiah khosoih puei Hilkiah taengla cet uh tih Pathen im la aka pawk tangka te a paek uh. Te te cingkhaa aka tawt Levi rhoek loh Manasseh, Ephraim kut lamkah neh Israel kah a meet boeih taeng lamkah, Judah boeih neh Benjamin taeng lamkah ni a coi. Te phoeiah khosa rhoek neh Jerusalem la mael uh.
10 and they give [it] into the hand of the workmen, those appointed over the house of Jehovah, and they give it [to] the workmen who are working in the house of Jehovah, to repair and to strengthen the house;
Te phoeiah tah BOEIPA im kah bitat saii a khueh kut ah a paek uh. Te te bitat aka saii khaw, BOEIPA im aka saii khaw, im tlaihvong ham neh duel vaengkah ham khaw a paek uh.
11 and they give [it] to artificers, and to builders, to buy hewn stones, and wood for couplings and for beams to the houses that the kings of Judah had destroyed.
Kutthai taeng neh im aka sa taengah khaw, lungrhaih lung neh thing aka lai ham khaw, hnarhui neh Judah manghai rhoek loh a phae tangtae im a tung nah ham khaw a paek uh.
12 And the men are working faithfully in the business, and over them are appointed Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathite, to overlook; and of the Levites, every one understanding about instruments of song,
Hlang rhoek long khaw bitat dongah uepomnah neh a saii uh. Amih soah te Merari koca lamkah Levi Jahath neh Obadiah, aka mawt ham te Kohathi koca lamkah Zekhariah neh Meshullam, lumlaa tumbael aka yakming Levi boeih te khaw a thum sak.
13 and over the burden-bearers, and overseers of every one doing work for service and service; and of the Levites [are] scribes, and officers, and gatekeepers.
Hnophuei soah khaw, thothuengnah neh thothuengnah ham bitat aka saii boeih soah aka mawt la om uh. Levi lamkah rhoek tah cadaek, rhoiboei neh thoh tawt la om uh.
14 And in their bringing out the money that is brought in to the house of Jehovah, hath Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of Jehovah by the hand of Moses,
BOEIPA im la aka pawk tangka te a loh uh vaengah khosoih Hilkiah loh Moses kut dong lamkah BOEIPA olkhueng cabu te a hmuh.
15 and Hilkiah answereth and saith unto Shaphan the scribe, 'A book of the law I have found in the house of Jehovah;' and Hilkiah giveth the book unto Shaphan,
Hilkiah loh cadaek Shaphan te a voek tih, “BOEIPA im ah olkhueng cabu ka hmuh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah Hilkiah loh cabu te Shaphan taengah a paek.
16 and Shaphan bringeth in the book unto the king, and bringeth the king back word again, saying, 'All that hath been given into the hand of thy servants they are doing,
Shaphan loh cabu te manghai taengla a khuen. Manghai te ol koep a mael tih, “Na sal rhoek kut dongah na paek bangla boeih a saii uh.
17 and they pour out the money that is found in the house of Jehovah, and give it into the hand of those appointed, and into the hands of those doing the work.'
BOEIPA im ah a hmuh tangka te a khok uh coeng. Te te aka soep kut dong neh bitat aka saii kut ah a paek uh,” a ti nah.
18 And Shaphan the scribe declareth to the king, saying, 'A book hath Hilkiah the priest given to me;' and Shaphan readeth in it before the king.
Te phoeiah cadaek Shaphan te manghai taengla puen tih, “Khosoih Hilkiah loh kai taengah cabu m'paek,” a ti nah tih te te Shaphan loh manghai mikhmuh ah a tae.
19 And it cometh to pass, at the king's hearing the words of the law, that he rendeth his garments,
Tedae manghai loh olkhueng ol te a yaak vaengah a himbai te a phen.
20 and the king commandeth Hilkiah, and Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Abdon son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah, servant of the king, saying,
Te dongah manghai loh Hilkiah neh Shaphan capa Ahikam, Maikah capa Abdon, cadaek Shaphan, manghai kah sal Asaiah te a uen.
21 'Go, seek Jehovah for me, and for him who is left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found, for great [is] the fury of Jehovah that is poured on us, because that our fathers kept not the word of Jehovah, to do according to all that is written on this book.'
Amih te, “Cet uh, kai ham khaw, Israel khui neh Judah khuikah aka sueng rhoek ham khaw BOEIPA te toem uh. Cabu dongkah aka thoeng ol bangla mamih soah aka bo BOEIPA kah kosi he len coeng. Te khaw he cabu dongkah a daek bang boeih la vai hamla a pa rhoek loh BOEIPA ol he a ngaithuen pawt dongah ni,” a ti nah.
22 And Hilkiah goeth, and they of the king, unto Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum son of Tikvath, son of Hasrah, keeper of the garments, and she is dwelling in Jerusalem in the Second, and they speak unto her thus.
Te phoeiah Hilkiah neh manghai taengkah rhoek te Himbai aka khoem Hasrah koca Tikvah capa Shallum yuu, tonghmanu Huldah taengla cet. Anih te Jerusalem kah a hnukthoi ah kho a sak tih tahae kah bangla amah taengah a thui uh.
23 And she saith to them, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Say to the man who hath sent you unto me,
Te vaengah amih te, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai taengla nangmih aka tueih hlang taengah khaw thui uh.
24 Thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am bringing in evil on this place, and on its inhabitants, all the execrations that are written on the book that they read before the king of Judah;
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai loh he hmuen so neh a khuikah khosa rhoek soah Judah manghai mikhmuh ah a tae bangla cabu khuikah a daek thaephoeinah cungkuem neh yoethaenah ka thoeng sak coeng.
25 because that they have forsaken Me, and make perfume to other gods, so as to provoke Me with all the works of their hands, and poured out is My fury upon this place, and it is not quenched.
Kai n'hnawt uh tih a phum khaw a kut dongkah khoboe cungkuem neh kai veet hamla pathen tloe rhoek taengah a phum uh. Te dongah ka kosi loh he hmuen he a bo thil vetih daeh mahpawh.
26 'And unto the king of Judah, who is sending you to inquire of Jehovah, thus do ye say unto him: Thus said Jehovah God of Israel, whose words thou hast heard:
BOEIPA toem hamla nangmih aka tueih Judah manghai te khaw amah taengah he he thui pah. Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Tekah ol te na yaak coeng.
27 Because thy heart [is] tender, and thou art humbled before God in thy hearing His words concerning this place, and concerning its inhabitants, and art humbled before Me, and dost rend thy garments, and weep before Me: even I also have heard — the affirmation of Jehovah.
Na thinko phoena tih Pathen mikhmuh ah na kunyun coeng. Amah ol te he hmuen ham neh amah khosa rhoek ham na yaak. Te vaengah ka mikhmuh ah khaw na kunyun. Na himbai te na phen tih ka mikhmuh ah na rhah vaengah khaw ka yaak. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
28 Lo, I am gathering thee unto thy fathers, and thou hast been gathered unto thy graves in peace, and thine eyes do not look on all the evil that I am bringing upon this place, and upon its inhabitants;' and they bring the king back word.
Kai loh nang te na pa rhoek taengla kang khoem sak vetih namah phuel ah ngaimong la n'up uh bitni ne. He hmuen so neh amah khosa rhoek soah yoethae cungkuem ka khuen te na mik loh hmu mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te dongah manghai te ol a mael uh.
29 And the king sendeth and gathereth all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem,
Te phoeiah manghai loh Judah neh Jerusalem kah a hamca boeih te a tah tih a coi.
30 and the king goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and every man of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, even all the people, from great even unto small, and he readeth in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that is found in the house of Jehovah.
Manghai neh Judah hlang boeih khaw, Jerusalem kah khosa rhoek khaw, khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek khaw, pilnam boeih khaw a kangham lamloh tanoe hil khaw BOEIPA im la cet. Te phoeiah tah amih hna ah BOEIPA im kah a hmuh paipi cabu dongkah ol boeih te a tae pah.
31 And the king standeth on his station, and maketh the covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to do the words of the covenant that are written on this book.
Manghai te amah paihmuen ah pai tih BOEIPA hnukah pongpa ham neh a olpaek neh a olphong khaw, a oltlueh te a thinko boeih neh, a hinglu boeih neh ngaithuen ham, te cabu dongah a daek paipi ol te vai hamla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah paipi te a saii.
32 And he presenteth every one who is found in Jerusalem and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem do according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
Jerusalem neh Benjamin kah a hmuh boeih taengah khaw a cak sak. Te dongah Jerusalem kah khosa rhoek long khaw a napa rhoek kah Pathen taengah Pathen kah paipi bangla a saii uh.
33 And Josiah turneth aside all the abominations out of all the lands that the sons of Israel have, and causeth every one who is found in Israel to serve, to serve Jehovah their God; all his days they turned not aside from after Jehovah, God of their fathers.
Josiah loh tueilaehkoi boeih te tah Israel ca rhoek kah khohmuen tom lamloh a khoe. Israel kah aka phoe boeih te khaw amamih kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah thothueng sak ham tho a thueng. Anih tue khuiah tah a napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA hnuk lamloh nong uh pawh.
