17 Fia la bia be, “Yɔdokpe kae nye ema le afi ma?” Dua me tɔwo ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nyagblɔɖila si tso Yuda va gblɔ nu si nèwɔ fifia da ɖi be adzɔ ɖe vɔsamlekpui sia dzi le Betel la ƒe yɔdoe!”
Inkosi yabuza yathi, “Ilitshe lesikhumbuzo sengcwaba leliyana engilibonayo ngelani?” Abantu bomuzi bathi, “Liphawule ingcwaba lenceku kaNkulunkulu eyavela koJuda, yaqalekisa i-alithari laseBhetheli ngalezizinto ozenze kulo.”
18 Ale Fia Yosia gblɔ be, “Migaka asi eŋu o. Migaɖe fu na nyagblɔɖila la ƒe ƒuwo o.” Ale wometɔ dzo eƒe ƒuwo kple nyagblɔɖila si tso Samaria la ƒe ƒuwo o.
Yena wasesithi, “Liyekeleni lingavumeli muntu awathinte amathambo akhe.” Ngakho bawayekela amathambo akhe kanye lalawo awomphrofethi owavela eSamariya.
19 Yosia gbã nuxeƒe siwo nɔ toawo dzi le Samarianyigba blibo la dzi. Israel fia vovovowoe tu wo eye wodo dɔmedzoe na Yehowa. Ke azɔ la, Yosia gbã wo wozu ʋuʋudedi abe ale si wòwɔ le Betel ene.
UJosiya wasusa amathempeli ezindawo zokukhonzela ezisemizini yaseSamariya ayekade akhiwe ngamakhosi ako-Israyeli, ethukuthelisa uThixo, wenza kiwo lokho ayekwenze eBhetheli.

UJosiya wabulalela abaphristi bezindawo zokukhonzela phezu kwama-alithare, watshisela amathambo abantu phezu kwawo. Wasebuyela eJerusalema.
21 Fia Yosia gblɔ na eƒe amewo azɔ be woaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖe se siwo Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la na woŋlɔ ɖe Nubabla ƒe Agbalẽ la me la nu.
Inkosi uJosiya yalaya bonke abantu yathi, “Ligcine iPhasika likaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, njengoba kulotshiwe eGwalweni LweSivumelwano.”
22 Womegaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la kpɔ nenema tso Israel ƒe ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo ŋɔli o eye womegaɖui kpɔ nenema le Israel fiawo kple Yuda fiawo ƒe fiaɖuɣiwo katã me o.
Lalingagcinwa iPhasika elinjalo kusukela ensukwini zabehluleli abaphatha u-Israyeli, lakuzo zonke insuku zamakhosi ako-Israyeli lezamakhosi akoJuda.
23 Woɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui sia na Yehowa le Yerusalem le Fia Yosia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuienyilia me.
Kodwa ngomnyaka wetshumi lasificaminwembili wenkosi uJosiya, lagcinwa iPhasika likaThixo eJerusalema.
24 Yosia tsi ŋɔliyɔyɔ, adzewɔwɔ kple legbasubɔsubɔ ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe nu le Yerusalem kple anyigba blibo la dzi. Ewɔ alea elabena edi be yeawɔ se siwo katã woŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ si Nunɔla Hilkia fɔ le gbedoxɔ la me la dzi pɛpɛpɛ.
Wakwenza njalo uJosiya ukususa izangoma, labahlahluli, labonkulunkulu basezindlini, lezithombe kanye lazozonke izinto zamanyala ezazikhona koJuda laseJerusalema. Lokhu kwakuyikugcwalisa izimiso zomlayo owawulotshwe encwadini umphristi uHilikhiya ayithola ethempelini likaThixo.

Ngaphambi kwakhe noma ngemva kwakhe uJosiya kakubanga khona inkosi eyafanana laye eyaphendukela kuThixo njengalokhu akwenzayo ngenhliziyo yakhe langomphefumulo wakhe wonke njalo langamandla akhe wonke mayelana lawo wonke uMthetho kaMosi.
26 Ke Yehowa ƒe dziku sesẽ si wòdo ɖe Yuda ŋu le Manase ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta la dzi meɖe o
Kanti uThixo kadedanga ekuvutheni kolaka lwakhe olwavutha kakhulu koJuda ngenxa yazo zonke izinto uManase amthukuthelisa ngazo.
27 elabena Yehowa gblɔ be, “Matsrɔ̃ Yuda abe ale si metsrɔ̃ Israel ene eye maɖe asi le Yerusalem, du si metia kple gbedoxɔ si megblɔ be enye tɔnye la ŋu.”
Ngakho uThixo wathi, “Ngizamsusa phambi kwami uJuda njengoba ngasusa u-Israyeli, ngiwulahle lumuzi waseJerusalema engawukhethayo, lethempeli leli engathi ngalo, ‘Ibizo lami lizakuba kulo.’”
28 Woŋlɔ Fia Yosia ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso kaJosiya, lakho konke akwenzayo, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda na?

Izisebenzi zikaJosiya zaletha isidumbu sakhe ngenqola yokulwa zisuka eMegido zisiya eJerusalema njalo zamngcwabela ethuneni lakhe. Ngakho abantu elizweni bathatha uJehowahazi indodana kaJosiya bamgcoba ubukhosi bukayise.
31 Yehoahaz xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃ esi wòzu fia; eɖu fia le Yerusalem ɣleti etɔ̃. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Hamutal, Yeremia ƒe vinyɔnu. Etso Libna.
