1 Na rĩrĩ, Josia aarĩ wa mĩaka ĩnana rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ũmwe. Nyina eetagwo Jedida mwarĩ wa Adaia; oimĩte Bozikathu.
Josiah [is] a son of eight years in his reigning, and he has reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jedidah daughter of Adaiah of Boskath,
2 Nake agĩĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, na agĩthiĩ na mĩthiĩre yothe ya ithe Daudi atekwĩhũgũra mwena wa ũrĩo kana wa ũmotho.
and he does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, and walks in all the way of his father David, and has not turned aside [to] the right or left.
3 Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩnana wa wathani wake, Mũthamaki Josia agĩtũma Shafani mũrũ wa Azalia mũrũ wa Meshulamu, ũrĩa warĩ mwandĩki-marũa, athiĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ:
And it comes to pass, in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king has sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of YHWH, saying,
4 “Ambata, ũthiĩ kũrĩ Hilikia mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene na ũmwĩre ahaarĩrie mbeeca iria irehetwo hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, iria arangĩri a mĩrango monganĩtie kuuma kũrĩ andũ.
“Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, and he completes the silver that is brought into the house of YHWH, that the keepers of the threshold have gathered from the people,
5 Nao maciĩhokere andũ arĩa mathuurĩtwo a kũrũgamĩrĩra wĩra wa hekarũ. Andũ acio ũtigĩrĩre nĩ marĩha aruti a wĩra arĩa macookagĩrĩria hekarũ ya Jehova,
and they give it into the hand of those doing the work, the overseers, in the house of YHWH, and they give it to those doing the work, that [are] in the house of YHWH, to strengthen the breach of the house,
6 nao nĩ atharamara, na andũ a gwaka, na aaki a mahiga. Na ningĩ ũtigĩrĩre nĩmagũra mbaũ na mahiga maicũhie ma gũcookereria hekarũ.
to craftsmen, and to builders, and [to repairers of] the wall, and to buy wood and hewn stones to strengthen the house;
7 No rĩrĩ, to nginya maheane mathabu ma mbeeca iria meehokeirwo, tondũ mararuta wĩra ũcio na kwĩhokeka.”
only, the silver that is given into their hand is not reckoned with them, for they are dealing in faithfulness.”
8 Hilikia mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene akĩĩra Shafani ũcio mwandĩki marũa atĩrĩ, “Nĩnyonete Ibuku rĩa Watho thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova.” Akĩrĩnengera Shafani nake akĩrĩthoma.
And Hilkiah the high priest says to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found [the] Scroll of the Law in the house of YHWH”; and Hilkiah gives the scroll to Shaphan, and he reads it.
9 Nake Shafani ũcio mwandĩki-marũa agĩthiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki na akĩmũhe ũhoro ũcio, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Anene aku nĩmarĩhĩte mbeeca iria ciarĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, na nĩmaciĩhokeire kũrĩ aruti a wĩra na arũgamĩrĩri a hekarũ.”
And Shaphan the scribe comes to the king, and brings the king back word, and says, “Your servants have poured out the silver that has been found in the house, and give it into the hand of those doing the work, the inspectors, in the house of YHWH.”
10 Ningĩ Shafani ũcio mwandĩki-marũa akĩĩra mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Hilikia ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩanengera ibuku.” Nake Shafani akĩrĩthomera mũthamaki.
And Shaphan the scribe declares to the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has given a scroll to me”; and Shaphan reads it before the king.
11 Rĩrĩa mũthamaki aaiguire ciugo cia Ibuku rĩu rĩa Watho-rĩ, agĩtembũranga nguo ciake.
And it comes to pass, at the king’s hearing the words of the Scroll of the Law, that he tears his garments,
12 Akĩruta mawatho maya kũrĩ Hilikia ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na kũrĩ Ahikamu mũrũ wa Shafani, na Akiboru mũrũ wa Mikaia, na kũrĩ Shafani ũcio mwandĩki-marũa, na kũrĩ Asaia ũrĩa mũrori wa maũndũ ma mũthamaki, akĩmeera atĩrĩ:
and the king commands Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Achbor son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah servant of the king, saying,
13 “Thiĩi mũkanduĩrĩrie ũhoro kũrĩ Jehova, na mũtuĩrĩrie andũ, o na Juda yothe, ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩĩrĩ rĩonekete. Marakara ma Jehova nĩ maingĩ, marĩa maraakana nĩ ũndũ witũ, tondũ maithe maitũ matiaathĩkĩire ũhoro wa ibuku rĩĩrĩ; na matiekire kũringana na ũhoro ũrĩa wothe wandĩkĩtwo thĩinĩ warĩo ũrĩa ũtũkoniĩ.”
“Go, seek YHWH for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this scroll that is found, for great [is] the fury of YHWH that is kindled against us, because that our fathers have not listened to the words of this scroll, to do according to all that is written for us.”
14 Hilikia ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Ahikamu, na Akiboru, na Shafani, na Asaia magĩthiĩ kwaria na Hulida ũrĩa mũnabii mũndũ-wa-nja ũrĩa warĩ mũtumia wa Shalumu mũrũ wa Tikiva, mũrũ wa Harihasi ũrĩa warĩ mũmenyereri wa nguo cia mũthamaki, Hulida aatũũraga Jerusalemu, rũgongo rwa keerĩ.
And Hilkiah the priest goes, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, to Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum, son of Tikvah, son of Harhas, keeper of the garments, and she is dwelling in Jerusalem in the second [quarter], and they speak to her.
15 Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga: Ĩrai mũndũ ũrĩa ũmũtũmĩte kũrĩ niĩ atĩrĩ,
And she says to them, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Say to the man who has sent you to me,
16 ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: Nĩngũrehithia mwanangĩko kũndũ gũkũ na kũrĩ andũ akuo kũringana na maũndũ marĩa mothe mandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩrĩa mũthamaki wa Juda athomete.
Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am bringing in calamity to this place and on its inhabitants, all the words of the scroll that the king of Judah has read,
17 Tondũ nĩmandirikĩte, na magacinĩra ngai ingĩ ũbumba, na makaandakaria nĩ ũndũ wa mĩhianano yothe ĩrĩa mathondekete na moko mao, marakara makwa nĩmakanĩire kũndũ gũkũ, na matingĩhoreka.’
because that they have forsaken Me, and make incense to other gods, so as to provoke Me to anger with every work of their hands, and My wrath has been kindled against this place, and it is not quenched.
18 Ĩrai mũthamaki wa Juda, ũrĩa ũmũtũmĩte mũũke mũtuĩrie ũhoro kũrĩ Jehova atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ ũhoro wĩgiĩ ciugo iria ũiguĩte:
And to the king of Judah, who is sending you to seek YHWH, thus you say to him, Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: The words that you have heard—
19 Tondũ ngoro yaku nĩyaherire na ũkĩĩnyiihĩria Jehova rĩrĩa waiguire ũhoro ũrĩa njarĩtie wa gũũkĩrĩra kũndũ gũkũ o na andũ akuo, atĩ nĩmakanyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi na mwanangĩko, na tondũ nĩwatembũrangire nguo ciaku na ũkĩrĩra ũrĩ mbere yakwa-rĩ, nĩngũiguĩte, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
because your heart [is] tender, and you are humbled because of YHWH, in your hearing that which I have spoken against this place, and against its inhabitants, to be for a desolation, and for a reviling, and you tear your garments and weep before Me—I also have heard—a declaration of YHWH—
20 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngagũcookanĩrĩria hamwe na maithe maku, na nĩũgathikwo na thayũ. Maitho maku matikoona mwanangĩko ũrĩa ngaarehe kũndũ gũkũ.’” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩcookeria mũthamaki ũhoro ũcio.
therefore, behold, I am gathering you to your fathers, and you have been gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes do not look on any of the calamity that I am bringing in on this place”; and they bring the king back word.
