1 Yosia xɔ ƒe enyi esi woɖoe fiae. Eɖu fia ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ɖekɛ le Yerusalem.
Iosiah was eight yeere olde when hee began to reigne, and he reigned in Ierusalem one and thirtie yeere.
2 Ewɔ nu si nyo le Yehowa ŋkume eye wòto tɔgbuia, David ƒe afɔtoƒewo. Medze ɖe ɖusime alo miame o.
And he did vprightly in the sight of ye Lord, and walked in the wayes of Dauid his father, and bowed neither to the right hand nor to the left.
3 Esi wòxɔ ƒe wuiade le eƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe enyilia me la, ede asi tɔgbuia David ƒe Mawu didi me eye le ƒe ene bubu megbe la, ede asi nu vɔ̃wo ɖeɖe ɖa me le Yuda kple Yerusalem. Egbã trɔ̃subɔlawo ƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo eye wòho aƒeliwo le nuxeƒeawo.
And in the eight yeere of his reigne (when he was yet a childe) he began to seeke after the God of Dauid his father: and in the twelft yeere he began to purge Iudah, and Ierusalem from the hie places, and the groues, and the carued images, and molten images:
4 Eya ŋutɔ ɖakpɔ ale si wogbã Baal ƒe vɔsamlekpui kple ale si womu aƒeli siwo nɔ vɔsamlekpui la tame la ƒu anyi kple ale si wogbã legbawoe eye wotu wɔ heʋuʋu ɖe ame siwo sa vɔ na legba mawo la ƒe yɔdowo dzi la teƒe.
And they brake downe in his sight the altars of Baalim, and hee caused to cut downe the images that were on hie vpon them: he brake also the groues, and the carued images, and the molten images, and stampt them to pouder, and strowed it vpon the graues of them that had sacrificed vnto them.
5 Etɔ dzo trɔ̃nuawo ƒe ƒuwo ɖe woawo ŋutɔwo ƒe vɔsamlekpui dzi elabena ebu be nuwɔna sia aɖe legbasubɔsubɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ɖa le Yudatɔwo kple Yerusalemtɔwo ŋuti.
Also he burnt the bones of the Priests vpon their altars, and purged Iudah and Ierusalem.
6 Le esia megbe la, eyi Manase, Efraim kple Simeon ƒe duwo me, yi keke Naftali ƒe duwo me ke eye wòwɔ nu mawo ke le teƒe mawo hã.
And in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, euen vnto Naphtali, with their maules they brake all round about.
7 Egbã trɔ̃subɔlawo ƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo kple woƒe legbawo gudugudu eye wòmu woƒe aƒeliwo ƒu anyi. Ewɔ nu sia le afi sia afi le Israelnyigba blibo la dzi hafi trɔ yi Yerusalem.
And when he had destroyed the altars and the groues, and had broken and stamped to pouder the images, and had cut downe all the idoles throughout all the land of Israel, hee returned to Ierusalem.
8 Le eƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuienyilia me, esi wòɖe nu vɔ̃wo ɖa le anyigba la dzi kple gbedoxɔ la ŋuti vɔ la, etia Safan, Azalia ƒe viŋutsu kple Maaseya, be woanye mɔmefia le Yerusalem. Etia Yoa, Yoahaz ƒe vi be wòanye dua ƒe gadzikpɔla eye wòadzra Yehowa, eƒe Mawu, ƒe gbedoxɔ la ɖo.
Then in the eightenth yere of his reigne, when hee had purged the lande and the Temple, he sent Shaphan the sonne of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the gouernour of the citie, and Ioah the sonne of Ioahaz the recorder, to repaire the house of the Lord his God.
9 Eye woyi Nunɔlagã Hilkia gbɔ hetsɔ ga siwo wohe va Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ me la na. Ga siawo nye ga si Levitɔwo xɔ le gbedoxɔ la ƒe agbowo nu tso ame siwo tso Manase, Efraim kple Israel ƒe akpa bubuawo, Yuda blibo la kple Benyamin kpakple Yerusalemtɔwo si.
And when they came to Hilkiah the hie Priest, they deliuered ye money that was brought into the house of God, which the Leuites that kept the doore, had gathered at the hand of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and of all the residue of Israel, and of all Iudah and Beniamin, and of the inhabitantes of Ierusalem.
10 Ale wotsɔ wo na dɔnunɔla siwo wotia be woakpɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ƒe dzadzraɖodɔwo dzi. Ame siawo xea fe na dɔwɔla siwo dzra gbedoxɔ la ƒe gbagbãƒewo ɖo.
And they put it in the hands of them that should doe the worke and had the ouersight in the house of the Lord: and they gaue it to the workemen that wrought in the house of ye Lord, to repaire and amend the house.
11 Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, wona ga atikpalawo kple gliɖolawo be woaƒle kpe kpakpawo kple atiwo na xɔ siwo Yuda fiawo gble ɖi eye nuwo gblẽ le wo ŋuti.
Euen to the workemen and to the builders gaue they it, to bye hewed stone and timber for couples and for beames of the houses, which the Kings of Iudah had destroyed.
12 Dɔwɔlawo tsɔ dzo ɖe dɔ la ŋu nɔ Yahat kple Obadiya, ame siwo nye Levitɔwo tso Merari ƒe hlɔ̃ la me la ƒe dzikpɔkpɔ te. Zekaria kple Mesulam tso Kohat ƒe hlɔ̃ la me woe nye xɔtudɔdzikpɔlawo. Levitɔ siwo nya saŋkuƒoƒo la, nɔa saŋku ƒom le esime dɔwɔlawo nɔa dɔ dzi.
And the men did the worke faithfully, and the ouerseers of them were Iahath and Obadiah the Leuites, of the children of Merari, and Zechariah, and Meshullam, of the children of the Kohathites to set it forward: and of the Leuites all that could skill of instruments of musike.
13 Levitɔ bubuwo kpɔa agbatetsɔla siwo tsɔa xɔtunuwo yina na xɔtulawo la dzi. Ame bubuwo naa kpekpeɖeŋu abe gakɔntabulawo, dɔdzikpɔlawo kple agbatsɔlawo ene.
And they were ouer the bearers of burdens, and them that set forwarde all the workemen in euery worke: and of the Leuites were scribes, and officers and porters.
14 Gbe ɖeka esi nunɔlagã Hilkia nɔ gbedoxɔ me eye wònɔ ga si wodzɔ le agboawo nu dem agbalẽ me la, ekpɔ Segbalẽ aɖe si me woŋlɔ Yehowa ƒe Se siwo wòde na Mose la ɖo!
And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the Lord, Hilkiah the Priest found the booke of the Lawe of the Lord giuen by the hand of Moses.
15 Hilkia gblɔ na Safan, nuŋlɔla la be, “Mefɔ Segbalẽ la le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me.” Etsɔe na Safan.
Therefore Hilkiah answered and sayde to Shaphan the chaceler, I haue found the booke of the Law in the house of the Lord: and Hilkiah gaue the booke to Shaphan.
16 Tete Safan tsɔ agbalẽ la yi na fia la eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Wò dɔnunɔlawo le nu sia nu wɔm le woƒe dɔdeasiwo ŋuti.
And Shaphan caried the booke to the King, and brought the King worde againe, saying, All that is committed to the hand of thy seruants, that do they.
17 Wotsɔ ga si nɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me la de asi na dɔdzikpɔlawo kple dɔwɔlawo.”
For they haue gathered the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and haue deliuered it into the handes of the ouerseers, and to the handes of the workemen.
18 Safan ƒo nu tso agbalẽ la kple ale si Hilkia fɔe la ŋu eye wòxlẽe na fia la.
Also Shaphan ye chanceler declared to the King, saying, Hilkiah the Priest hath giuen mee a booke, and Shaphan read it before the King.
19 Esi fia la se nu siwo Se siawo bia tso Mawu ƒe amewo si be woawɔ la, edze eƒe awuwo le dziɖeleameƒo ta.
And when the King had heard the wordes of the Lawe, he tare his clothes.
20 Eɖe gbe Hilkia, Ahikam, Safan ƒe viŋutsu, Abdon, Mika ƒe viŋutsu, nuŋlɔla Safan kple Asaya, fia ƒe subɔla be,
And the King commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan, and Abdon the sonne of Micah, and Shaphan the chanceler, and Asaiah the Kings seruant, saying,
21 “Miyi miabia Yehowa nam kple Israel kple Yuda blibo la tso nu siwo woŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ si wofɔ la ŋuti. Yehowa trɔ eƒe dɔmedzoe kɔ ɖe mía dzi elabena mía fofowo mewɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe nyawo dzi o. Womezɔ ɖe nu siwo katã woŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ sia me la nu o.”
Goe and enquire of the Lord for me, and for the rest in Israel and Iudah, concerning the wordes of this booke that is founde: for great is the wrath of the Lord that is fallen vpon vs, because our fathers haue not kept the worde of the Lord, to doe after all that is written in this booke.
22 Ale Hilkia kple fia ƒe ame dɔdɔwo yi ɖaƒo nu kple nyɔnu Nyagblɔɖila Hulda si le Yerusalem ƒe akpa yeye. Nyɔnu nyagblɔɖila sia nye Tokhat ƒe viŋutsu Salum srɔ̃. Hasra si dzi Tokhat nye nudodowo dzraɖoƒe dzikpɔla.
Then Hilkiah and they that the King had appoynted, went to Huldah the Prophetesse ye wife of Shallum, the sonne of Tokhath, the sonne of Hasrah keeper of the wardrobe (and she dwelt in Ierusalem within the colledge) and they communed hereof with her.
23 Egblɔ na wo be, “Nu si Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye, Gblɔ na ame si ɖo wò ɖe gbɔnye la be,
And shee answered them, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Tell yee the man that sent you to me,
24 ‘Yehowa ƒe gbe enye si: mahe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va teƒe sia kple eƒe amewo dzi. Fiƒode siwo katã woŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ sia me si woxlẽ le Yuda fia ƒe ŋkume la, ava eme;
Thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I will bring euill vpon this place, and vpon the inhabitantes thereof, euen all the curses, that are written in the booke which they haue read before the King of Iudah:
25 Elabena wogbe nu le gbɔnye, wosubɔ mawu bubuwo eye wodo dɔmedzoe nam kple nu siwo wotsɔ woƒe asiwo me la. Nye dɔmedzoe atrɔ akɔ ɖe teƒe sia dzi eye enu matso o.’
Because they haue forsaken me, and burnt incense vnto other gods, to anger mee with al the workes of their hands, therefore shall my wrath fall vpon this place, and shall not be quenched.
26 “Gblɔ na Yuda fia, ame si dɔ wò be nàbia gbe Yehowa be, ‘Ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔ tso nya siwo ke nèse la ŋuti.
But to the King of Iudah, who sent you to enquire of the Lord, so shall ye say vnto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The words which thou hast heard, shall come to passe.
27 Ke esi miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ve mi eye miebɔbɔ mia ɖokui le Mawu ƒe ŋkume, esi miese nu siwo wògblɔ tsɔ tsi tsitre ɖe teƒe sia kple eƒe amewo ŋu eye esi miebɔbɔ mia ɖokui le ŋkunye me, miedze miaƒe awuwo eye miefa avi le nye ŋkume le miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta la, maɖo to miaƒe kukuɖeɖe.
But because thine heart did melt, and thou didest humble thy selfe before God, when thou heardest his wordes against this place and against the inhabitantes thereof, and humbledst thy selfe before mee and tarest thy clothes, and weptest before mee, I haue also heard it, sayth the Lord.
28 Ke fifia la, àku eye woaɖi wò le ŋutifafa me. Wò ŋkuwo makpɔ dzɔgbevɔ̃e si mahe va afi sia kple ame siwo le afi sia dzi o.’” Ale woxɔ eƒe ŋuɖoɖo yi na fia la. Ale wotsɔ nya sia tso Yehowa gbɔ yi na fia la.
Beholde, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt bee put in thy graue in peace, and thine eyes shall not see all the euill, which I will bring vpon this place, and vpon the inhabitants of the same. Thus they brought ye King word againe.
29 Ale fia la yɔ Yuda kple Yerusalem ƒe dumegãwo ƒo ƒu.
Then the King sent and gathered all the Elders of Iudah and Ierusalem.
30 Eyi Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me kple Yuda kple Yerusalem ƒe ameawo, nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo, tso ame gblɔetɔwo dzi va se ɖe ame gãtɔwo dzi. Exlẽ Nubabla ƒe Agbalẽ si wofɔ le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me nyawo na wo.
And the King went vp into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and the Priests and the Leuites, and all the people from the greatest to the smallest, and hee read in their eares all the wordes of the booke of the couenant that was found in the house of the Lord.
31 Fia la tsi tsitre ɖe sɔti la gbɔ le Yehowa ŋkume. Eɖe adzɔgbe na Yehowa be, yeadze eyome, alé eƒe sewo, ɖaseɖiɖiwo, kple ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi kple dzi blibo kple luʋɔ blibo, eye yeawɔ nubabla sia ƒe nya siwo katã woŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ sia me la dzi.
And the King stood by his pillar, and made a couenant before the Lord, to walke after the Lord, and to keepe his commandements, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soule, and that he would accomplish the wordes of the couenant written in the same booke.
32 Ebia tso ame sia ame si nɔ Yerusalem kple Benyamin si be, woanɔ nubabla sia me kple Mawu eye wo katã wolɔ̃ ɖe edzi.
And he caused all that were found in Ierusalem, and Beniamin to stande to it: and the inhabitants of Ierusalem did according to the couenant of God, euen the God of their fathers.
33 Ale Yosia ɖe legbawo katã ɖa le teƒe siwo Israelnyigba katã dzi eye wòbia tso wo katã si be woasubɔ Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la, le eƒe agbenɔɣi mamlɛa katã me; ameawo yi Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu la subɔsubɔ dzi.
So Iosiah tooke away al the abominations out of all the countreis that perteined to the children of Israel, and compelled all that were found in Israel, to serue the Lord their God: so all his dayes they turned not backe from the Lord God of their fathers.
