2 Maũndũ 34
1 Josia aarĩ wa mĩaka ĩnana rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ũmwe.
Iosiah was eight yeere olde when hee began to reigne, and he reigned in Ierusalem one and thirtie yeere.
2 Nake agĩĩka maũndũ marĩa maagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, na agathiiaga na mĩthiĩre ya ithe Daudi ategũkerũra na mwena wa ũrĩo kana wa ũmotho.
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 Mwaka wa ĩnana wa wathani wake, arĩ o mũnini, akĩambĩrĩria kũrongooria Ngai wa ithe Daudi. Mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, akĩambĩrĩria gũtheria Juda na Jerusalemu na ũndũ wa kweheria kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, na itugĩ cia Ashera, na mĩhianano mĩacũhie, na mĩhiano ya gũtwekio.
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 Nake agĩathana na agĩtigĩrĩra atĩ igongona cia Baali nĩciamomorwo; agĩtinangia icunjĩ igongona cia ũbumba iria ciarĩ igũrũ rĩacio, na akĩhehenjithia itugĩ cia Ashera, na mĩhianano ya gwacũhio o na ya gũtwekio. Mĩhianano ĩyo akĩmiunanga, ĩgĩthĩo ĩgĩtuĩka rũkũngũ, na akĩrũhurunja igũrũ rĩa mbĩrĩra cia arĩa maacirutagĩra magongona.
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 Nake agĩcinithĩria mahĩndĩ ma athĩnjĩri-ngai a Baali igongona-inĩ ciao, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtheria Juda na Jerusalemu.
Also he burnt the bones of the Priests vpon their altars, and purged Iudah and Ierusalem.
6 Ũguo noguo eekire matũũra-inĩ ma Manase, na Efiraimu, na Simeoni o nginya Nafitali, o na kũrĩa kwanangĩku kwamarigiicĩirie,
And in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, euen vnto Naphtali, with their maules they brake all round about.
7 akĩmomora igongona na itugĩ cia Ashera, nayo mĩhianano akĩmĩhehenjithia ĩgĩtuĩka mũtutu, na agĩtinangia igongona cia ũbumba ciothe iria ciarĩ Isiraeli guothe igĩtuĩka icunjĩ. Agĩcooka Jerusalemu.
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 Mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩnana wa wathani wa Josia, aarĩkia gũtheria bũrũri na hekarũ, agĩtũma Shafani mũrũ wa Azalia, na Maaseia ũrĩa warĩ mwathi wa itũũra inene, marĩ na Joa mũrũ wa Joahazu, ũrĩa warĩ mwandĩki, magacookererie hekarũ ya Jehova Ngai wake.
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 Magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Hilikia mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, makĩmũne mbeeca iria ciarehetwo hekarũ-inĩ ya Ngai, iria Alawii arĩa maarĩ aikaria a mĩrango moonganĩtie kuuma kũrĩ andũ a Manase, na Efiraimu, na matigari mothe ma andũ a Isiraeli, na kuuma kũrĩ andũ othe a Juda na Benjamini, na andũ arĩa maatũũraga Jerusalemu.
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 Ningĩ magĩciĩhokera andũ arĩa maathuurĩtwo a kũrũgamĩrĩra wĩra wa hekarũ ya Jehova. Nao andũ acio makĩrĩha aruti a wĩra arĩa maathondekete na magacookereria hekarũ.
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 O na ningĩ nĩmaheire atharamara na aaki mbeeca cia kũgũra mahiga maicũhie, na mbaũ cia mĩratho, na mĩgamba ya kũrũgamia mĩako ĩrĩa athamaki a Juda maarekereirie ĩmomoke.
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 Andũ acio nĩmarutire wĩra marĩ na wĩhokeku. Andũ arĩa maamarũgamĩrĩire maarĩ Jahathu na Obadia, Alawii a rũciaro rwa Merari, na Zekaria na Meshulamu a rũciaro rwa Kohathu. Alawii acio othe maarĩ na ũũgĩ wa kũhũũra inanda,
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 nĩo maarũgamagĩrĩra aruti a wĩra, na makaroraga aruti othe a wĩra kuuma wĩra ũmwe nginya ũrĩa ũngĩ. Alawii amwe maarĩ aigi a maũndũ marĩa maandĩke, na aandĩki-marũa, na aikaria a mĩrango.
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 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa moimagia mbeeca iria ciatwarĩtwo thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova, Hilikia ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akĩona Ibuku rĩa Watho wa Jehova ũrĩa waheanĩtwo nĩ Musa.
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 Hilikia akĩĩra Shafani ũrĩa mwandĩki atĩrĩ, “Nĩndona Ibuku rĩa Watho thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova.” Akĩrĩnengera Shafani.
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 Nake Shafani agĩtwarĩra mũthamaki ibuku rĩu na akĩmũhe ũhoro, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Anene aku nĩmararuta wĩra wothe ũrĩa maheetwo.
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 Nĩmarĩkĩtie kũrĩha mbeeca iria iraarĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova, na magacitiga irĩ moko-inĩ ma arũgamĩrĩri o na aruti a wĩra.”
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 Nake Shafani ũcio mwandĩki akĩĩra mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Hilikia ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩanengera ibuku.” Nake Shafani agĩthoma ibuku rĩu arĩ mbere ya mũthamaki.
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 Rĩrĩa mũthamaki aiguire ciugo icio cia Watho-rĩ, agĩtembũranga nguo ciake.
And when the King had heard the wordes of the Lawe, he tare his clothes.
20 Nake agĩatha Hilikia, na Ahikamu mũrũ wa Shafani, na Abudoni mũrũ wa Mika, na Shafani ũrĩa mwandĩki, na Asaia ndungata ya mũthamaki, akĩmeera atĩrĩ:
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 “Thiĩi kũrĩ Jehova mũkanduĩrĩrie ũhoro niĩ na matigari ma Isiraeli na Juda ũrĩa ũhoro ũyũ mwandĩke ibuku-inĩ rĩĩrĩ rĩrĩkĩtie kuoneka ũtariĩ. Marakara ma Ngai nĩ manene marĩa tũitĩrĩirio nĩ ũndũ maithe maitũ matiarũmirie kiugo kĩa Jehova, na matiĩkĩte kũringana na ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩĩrĩ.”
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 Hilikia na arĩa mũthamaki aatũmĩte hamwe nake magĩthiĩ makĩaria na Hulida, mũnabii mũndũ-wa-nja ũrĩa warĩ mũtumia wa Shalumu mũrũ wa Tokihathu mũrũ wa Hasira ũrĩa wamenyagĩrĩra nguo cia mũthamaki. Aatũũraga Jerusalemu, kũu Rũgongo rwa Keerĩ.
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 Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga: Ĩrai mũndũ ũrĩa ũmũtũmire kũrĩ niĩ atĩrĩ,
And shee answered them, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Tell yee the man that sent you to me,
24 ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: Nĩngũrehe mwanangĩko kũndũ gũkũ na kũrĩ andũ akuo, irumi ciothe iria nyandĩke ibuku-inĩ rĩrĩa rĩathomwo mbere ya mũthamaki wa Juda.
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 Tondũ nĩmandirikĩte, na magacinĩra ngai ingĩ ũbumba, na makandakaria nĩ ũndũ wa mĩhianano yothe ĩrĩa mathondekete na moko mao, marakara makwa nĩmegũitĩrĩrio kũndũ gũkũ na matingĩhoreka.’
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 Ĩrai mũthamaki wa Juda ũrĩa ũmũtũmĩte mũũke mũtuĩrie ũhoro kũrĩ Jehova atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ, ũhoro wĩgiĩ ciugo iria ũiguĩte:
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 Tondũ ngoro yaku nĩyaherire, na ũkĩĩnyiihĩria Ngai rĩrĩa waiguire ũhoro ũrĩa njarĩtie wa gũũkĩrĩra kũndũ gũkũ o na andũ akuo, na tondũ nĩwenyiihirie mbere yakwa, na ũgĩtembũranga nguo ciaku, na ũkĩrĩra ũrĩ mbere yakwa-rĩ, nĩngũiguĩte, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
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 Na rĩrĩ, nĩngagũcookanĩrĩria hamwe na maithe maku, na nĩũgathikwo na thayũ. Maitho maku matikoona mwanangĩko ũrĩa ngaarehe kũndũ gũkũ, o na ndehere arĩa matũũraga gũkũ.’” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩcookeria mũthamaki ũhoro ũcio.
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 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki agĩtũmanĩra athuuri othe a Juda na a Jerusalemu mongane hamwe.
Then the King sent and gathered all the Elders of Iudah and Ierusalem.
30 Nake akĩambata agĩthiĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova arĩ hamwe na andũ a Juda, na andũ a Jerusalemu, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii na andũ othe kuuma ũrĩa mũnini mũno nginya ũrĩa mũnene mũno. Mũthamaki agĩthoma ciugo ciothe cia Ibuku rĩa Kĩrĩkanĩro, rĩrĩa rĩonekete hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, makĩiguaga.
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 Mũthamaki akĩrũgama gĩtugĩ-inĩ gĩake na 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, na aathĩkagĩre ciugo cia kĩrĩkanĩro iria ciandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩu.
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 Ningĩ agĩtũma andũ othe arĩa maarĩ Jerusalemu na Benjamini meetoonyie kĩrĩkanĩro-inĩ kĩu; nao andũ a Jerusalemu magĩĩka ũguo kũringana na ũrĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Ngai, o we Ngai wa maithe mao, gĩatariĩ.
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 Josia akĩeheria mĩhianano yothe ĩrĩa yarĩ magigi kuuma bũrũri wothe wa andũ a Isiraeli, na agĩtũma andũ arĩa othe maarĩ Isiraeli matungatĩre Jehova Ngai wao. Rĩrĩa rĩothe aarĩ muoyo-rĩ, matiigana gũtiga kũrũmĩrĩra Jehova, o we Ngai wa maithe mao.
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.
