2 Kings 23
1 And the king sendeth, and they gather unto him all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki agĩtũmanĩra athuuri othe a Juda na a Jerusalemu moongane hamwe.
2 and the king goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and every man of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, from small unto great, and he readeth in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that is found in the house of Jehovah.
Nake akĩambata agĩthiĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova arĩ hamwe na andũ a Juda, na andũ a Jerusalemu, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na anabii, andũ othe kuuma ũrĩa mũnini mũno nginya ũrĩa mũnene mũno. Mũthamaki agĩthoma ciugo ciothe cia Ibuku rĩa Kĩrĩkanĩro, rĩrĩa rĩonekete thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova makĩiguaga.
3 And the king standeth by the pillar, and maketh the covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all the heart, and with all the soul, to establish the words of this covenant that are written on this book, and all the people stand in the covenant.
Nake mũthamaki akĩrũgama hau gĩtugĩ-inĩ, akĩerũhia kĩrĩkanĩro arĩ mbere ya Jehova, atĩ nĩarĩrũmagĩrĩra Jehova, na arũmie maathani make, na mawatho make, o na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo na ngoro yake yothe, na muoyo wake wothe, nĩguo ahingie ciugo cia kĩrĩkanĩro iria ciaandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩu. Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe makĩĩranĩra atĩ nĩmarĩhingagia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu.
4 And the king commandeth Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out from the temple of Jehovah all the vessels that are made for Baal, and for the shrine, and for all the host of the heavens, and he burneth them at the outside of Jerusalem, in the fields of Kidron, and hath borne their ashes to Beth-El.
Nake mũthamaki agĩatha Hilikia mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa maarĩ anini ake, na aikaria a mĩrango, mathengie kuuma hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova indo ciothe iria ciathondekeirwo Baali na Ashera, na mbũtũ yothe ya igũrũ, agĩcicinĩra nja ya Jerusalemu mĩgũnda-inĩ ya Gĩtuamba gĩa Kidironi, na agĩtwara mũhu wacio Betheli.
5 And he hath caused to cease the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah have appointed, (and they make perfume in high places, in cities of Judah and suburbs of Jerusalem, ) and those making perfume to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of the heavens.
Nake akĩeheria athĩnjĩri-ngai cia mĩhianano arĩa maamũrĩtwo nĩ athamaki a Juda macinagĩre ũbumba kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru thĩinĩ wa matũũra ma Juda na matũũra marĩa maarigiicĩirie Jerusalemu, arĩa maacinagĩra Baali ũbumba, na riũa, na mweri, na njata iria nene, o na mbũtũ ciothe cia igũrũ.
6 And he bringeth out the shrine from the house of Jehovah to the outside of Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burneth it at the brook Kidron, and beateth it small to dust, and casteth its dust on the grave of the sons of the people.
Nake akĩruta gĩtugĩ kĩa Ashera kuuma hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, agĩgĩtwara Gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩa Kidironi nja ya Jerusalemu, na agĩgĩcinĩra kuo. Agĩgĩthĩa, gĩgĩtuĩka ta rũkũngũ, akĩhurunjĩra rũkũngũ rũu rwakĩo mbĩrĩra-inĩ cia andũ arĩa mataarĩ na igweta.
7 And he breaketh down the houses of the whoremongers that [are] in the house of Jehovah, where the women are weaving houses for the shrine.
Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩmomora nyũmba cia ihooero cia maraya ma arũme, iria ciarĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, na nokuo atumia maatumagĩra macuka ma Ashera.
8 And he bringeth in all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defileth the high places where the priests have made perfume, from Geba unto Beer-Sheba, and hath broken down the high places of the gates that [are] at the opening of the gate of Joshua, head of the city, that [is] on a man's left hand at the gate of the city;
Josia akĩrehe athĩnjĩri-Ngai othe kuuma matũũra-inĩ mothe ma Juda, na agĩtharia kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, kuuma Geba nginya Birishiba kũrĩa athĩnjĩri-ngai maacinagĩra ũbumba, akĩmomora igongona iria ciarĩ ihingo-inĩ, o na itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Kĩhingo kĩa Joshua, mũnene wa itũũra rĩrĩa inene, kĩrĩa kĩarĩ mwena wa ũmotho wa kĩhingo gĩa itũũra rĩu inene.
9 only, the priests of the high places come not up unto the altar of Jehovah in Jerusalem, but they have eaten unleavened things in the midst of their brethren.
O na gwatuĩka athĩnjĩri-ngai a kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru matiatungataga kĩgongona-inĩ kĩa Jehova kũu Jerusalemu-rĩ, nĩmarĩĩaga mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩimbie hamwe na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa angĩ.
10 And he hath defiled Topheth, that [is] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, so that no man doth cause his son and his daughter to pass over through fire to Molech.
Nĩaathũkirie Tofeti ĩrĩa yarĩ Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Beni-Hinomu, nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩarutire mũriũ kana mwarĩ arĩ igongona rĩa njino kũrĩ Moleku.
11 And he causeth to cease the horses that the kings of Judah have given to the sun from the entering in of the house of Jehovah, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech the eunuch, that [is] in the suburbs, and the chariots of the sun he hath burnt with fire.
Akĩeheria mbarathi iria athamaki a Juda maamũrĩire riũa kuuma itoonyero-inĩ rĩa hekarũ ya Jehova. Nacio ciarĩ nja hakuhĩ na kanyũmba ka mũnene wetagwo Nathani-Meleku. Josia agĩcooka agĩcina ngaari cia ita iria ciamũrĩirwo riũa.
12 And the altars that [are] on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, that the kings of Judah made, and the altars that Manasseh made in the two courts of the house of Jehovah, hath the king broken down, and removeth thence, and hath cast their dust unto the brook Kidron.
Ningĩ akĩmomora igongona iria ciakĩtwo nĩ athamaki a Juda nyũmba igũrũ hakuhĩ na kanyũmba ka igũrũ ka Ahazu, na igongona iria ciakĩtwo nĩ Manase kũu nja cierĩ cia hekarũ ya Jehova. Agĩcieheria kuuma hau, agĩcihehenja tũcunjĩ, na agĩte rũkũngũ rũu Gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩa Kidironi.
13 And the high places that [are] on the front of Jerusalem, that [are] on the right of the mount of corruption, that Solomon king of Israel had built to Ashtoreth abomination of the Zidonians, and Chemosh abomination of Moab, and to Milcom abomination of the sons of Ammon, hath the king defiled.
Mũthamaki agĩcooka agĩthũkia kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kũrĩa kwarĩ mwena wa irathĩro wa Jerusalemu, mwena wa gũthini wa Kĩrĩma gĩa Kũniinanĩrwo, kũrĩa Solomoni mũthamaki wa Isiraeli aakĩire Ashitorethu ngai ya mũndũ-wa-nja ĩrĩ thaahu ya Asidoni, na kũrĩa aakĩire Kemoshu ngai ĩrĩ thaahu ya Moabi, o na kwa Moleku ngai ĩrĩ magigi ya andũ a Amoni.
14 And he hath broken in pieces the standing-pillars, and cutteth down the shrines, and filleth their place with bones of men;
Josia akĩhehenja mahiga marĩa maamũre, na akĩmomora mĩhianano ya itugĩ cia Ashera, na agĩkũhumbĩra na mahĩndĩ ma andũ.
15 and also the altar that [is] in Beth-El, the high place that Jeroboam son of Nebat made, by which he made Israel sin, both that altar and the high place he hath broken down, and doth burn the high place — he hath beat it small to dust, and hath burnt the shrine.
O nakĩo kĩgongona kĩrĩa kĩarĩ Betheli, handũ harĩa hatũũgĩru haathondeketwo nĩ Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati, ũrĩa watũmire Isiraeli meehie, kĩgongona kĩu na handũ hau hatũũgĩru, agĩcimomora. Agĩcina handũ hau hatũũgĩru, akĩhathĩa nginya hagĩtuĩka mũtu, na agĩcina gĩtugĩ kĩa Ashera o nakĩo.
16 And Josiah turneth, and seeth the graves that [are] there in the mount, and sendeth and taketh the bones out of the graves, and burneth [them] on the altar, and defileth it, according to the word of Jehovah that the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.
Ningĩ Josia akĩroranga kũu, na rĩrĩa onire mbĩrĩra iria ciarĩ mwena-inĩ wa kĩrĩma, agĩthikũrithia mahĩndĩ kuuma mbĩrĩra-inĩ, akĩmacinĩra kĩgongona-inĩ nĩguo agĩthaahie, kũringana na kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa kĩarĩtio nĩ mũndũ wa Ngai ũrĩa warathĩte maũndũ macio matanekĩka.
17 And he saith, 'What [is] this sign that I see?' and the men of the city say unto him, 'The grave of the man of God who hath come from Judah, and proclaimeth these things that thou hast done concerning the altar of Beth-El.'
Mũthamaki akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mbĩrĩra ĩĩrĩa ndĩrona nĩ ya ũ?” Nao andũ a itũũra rĩu inene makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mbĩrĩra ya mũndũ wa Ngai ũrĩa woimĩte Juda, na akĩaria maũndũ ma gũũkĩrĩra kĩgongona kĩa Betheli, o maũndũ marĩa warĩkia gwĩka ihiga rĩu.”
18 And he saith, 'Let him alone, let no man touch his bones;' and they let his bones escape, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.
Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Tiganai nayo. Mũtigetĩkĩrie mũndũ o naũ aringithie mahĩndĩ make.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio matiahutirie mahĩndĩ make o na ma mũnabii ũrĩa woimĩte Samaria.
19 And also all the houses of the high places that [are] in the cities of Samaria, that the kings of Israel made to provoke to anger, hath Josiah turned aside, and doth to them according to all the deeds that he did in Beth-El.
O ta ũrĩa Josia eekĩte Betheli, Josia nĩeheririe na agĩthaahia mahooero ma kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru marĩa maakĩtwo nĩ athamaki a Isiraeli matũũra-inĩ ma Samaria marĩa marakarĩtie Jehova.
20 And he slayeth all the priests of the high places who [are] there by the altars, and burneth the bones of man upon them, and turneth back to Jerusalem.
Josia akĩũragĩra athĩnjĩri-ngai othe a kũndũ kũu gũtũũgĩru igũrũ rĩa igongona icio, na agĩcinĩra mahĩndĩ ma andũ igũrũ rĩacio. Agĩcooka agĩthiĩ Jerusalemu.
21 And the king commandeth the whole of the people, saying, 'Make ye a passover to Jehovah your God, as it is written on this book of the covenant.'
Mũthamaki akĩruta watho ũyũ kũrĩ andũ othe, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kũngũĩrai Bathaka ya Jehova Ngai wanyu, o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ rĩĩrĩ rĩa Kĩrĩkanĩro.”
22 Surely there hath not been made like this passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Judah;
Na gũtiarĩ na Bathaka ĩngĩ yakũngũĩirwo ta ĩyo kuuma hĩndĩ ya atiirĩrĩri bũrũri arĩa matongoragia Isiraeli kana matukũ-inĩ mothe ma athamaki a Isiraeli na athamaki a Juda.
23 but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, hath this passover been made to Jehovah in Jerusalem.
Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩnana wa Mũthamaki Josia, Bathaka ĩyo ya Jehova nĩyakũngũĩirwo kũu Jerusalemu.
24 And also, those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah, and in Jerusalem, hath Josiah put away, in order to establish the words of the law that are written on the book that Hilkiah the priest hath found in the house of Jehovah.
Ningĩ Josia nĩeheririe aragũri, na andũ arĩa maarĩ na maroho ma kũragũra, na ngai cia kũhooya nacio mĩciĩ-inĩ, na ngai cia mĩhianano, na indo iria ingĩ ciothe irĩ magigi cionekire kũu Juda na Jerusalemu. Eekire ũguo ahingie watho ũrĩa waandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩrĩa Hilikia ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai onire hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.
25 And like him there hath not been before him a king who turned back unto Jehovah with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses, and after him there hath none risen like him.
Mbere na thuutha wa Josia gũtiarĩ mũthamaki ũngĩ take, wacookereire Jehova ta ũrĩa eekire: na ngoro yake yothe na muoyo wake wothe, na hinya wake wothe, kũringana na watho wothe wa Musa.
26 Only, Jehovah hath not turned back from the fierceness of His great anger with which His anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh provoked him,
No rĩrĩ, Jehova ndaigana kũgarũrũka atige marakara make mahiũ, marĩa maakanaga ma gũũkĩrĩra Juda, nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ marĩa mothe Manase eekĩte ma kũmũrakaria.
27 and Jehovah saith, 'Also Judah I turn aside from my presence, as I turned Israel aside, and I have rejected this city that I have chosen — Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name is there.'
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngweheria Juda o nayo mbere yakwa, o ta ũrĩa ndeheririe Isiraeli, na nĩngarega Jerusalemu, itũũra inene rĩrĩa ndeethurĩire, na ndege hekarũ ĩno, ĩrĩa ndoigire ũhoro wayo atĩrĩ, ‘Kũu nĩkuo Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩgaatũũra.’”
28 And the rest of the matters of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Josia, na marĩa eekire, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
29 In his days hath Pharaoh-Nechoh king of Egypt come up against the king of Asshur, by the river Phrat, and king Josiah goeth out to meet him, and he putteth him to death in Megiddo, when he seeth him.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Josia aarĩ mũthamaki-rĩ, nĩguo Firaũni-Neko mũthamaki wa Misiri aambatire Rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Farati agateithie mũthamaki wa Ashuri. Nake Mũthamaki Josia agĩthiĩ kũmũtũnga mbaara-inĩ, no rĩrĩ, Neko akĩrũa nake, akĩmũũragĩra kũu Megido.
30 And his servants cause him to ride dying from Megiddo, and bring him in to Jerusalem, and bury him in his own grave, and the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and anoint him, and cause him to reign instead of his father.
Nacio ndungata cia Josia igĩkuua mwĩrĩ wake na ngaari ya ita kuuma Megido, ikĩũrehe Jerusalemu, na ikĩmũthika mbĩrĩra-inĩ yake. Nao andũ a bũrũri makĩoya Jehoahazu mũrũ wa Josia, makĩmũitĩrĩria maguta, makĩmũtua mũthamaki ithenya rĩa ithe.
31 A son of twenty and three years [is] Jehoahaz in his reigning, and three months he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,
Jehoahazu aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtatũ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka Jerusalemu mĩeri ĩtatũ. Nyina eetagwo Hamutali mwarĩ wa Jeremia, na oimĩte Libina.
32 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers did,
Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa maithe make meekĩte.
33 and Pharaoh-Nechoh bindeth him in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, from reigning in Jerusalem, and he putteth a fine on the land — a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
Firaũni Neko nĩamuohire na mĩnyororo kũu Ribila, bũrũri wa Hamathu, nĩguo ndakae gwathana Jerusalemu, na akĩhatĩrĩria andũ a Juda marute igooti rĩa taranda igana rĩmwe cia betha, na taranda ĩmwe ya thahabu.
34 And Pharaoh-Nechoh causeth Eliakim son of Josiah to reign instead of Josiah his father, and turneth his name to Jehoiakim, and Jehoahaz he hath taken away, and he cometh in to Egypt, and dieth there.
Firaũni Neko agĩtua Eliakimu mũriũ wa Josia mũthamaki ithenya rĩa ithe Josia, na akĩgarũra rĩĩtwa rĩa Eliakimu akĩmũtua Jehoiakimu, no agĩkuua Jehoahazu akĩmũtwara Misiri, na kũu nĩkuo aakuĩrĩire.
35 And the silver and the gold hath Jehoiakim given to Pharaoh; only he valued the land to give the silver by the command of Pharaoh; from each, according to his valuation, he exacted the silver and the gold, from the people of the land, to give to Pharaoh-Nechoh.
Jehoiakimu akĩrĩha Firaũni Neko betha na thahabu iria eetĩtie. Nĩgeetha ahote gwĩka ũguo, agĩĩtia andũ a bũrũri igooti na hinya, agĩkĩũngania betha na thahabu kuuma kũrĩ andũ a bũrũri kũringana na ũhoti wao.
36 A son of twenty and five years [is] Jehoiakim in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah,
Jehoiakimu aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na ũmwe. Nyina etagwo Zebida mwarĩ wa Pedaia; nake oimĩte Ruma.
37 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers did.
Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova o ta ũrĩa maithe make meekĩte.
