Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe makĩĩranĩra atĩ nĩmarĩhingagia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu.

And he removed the pagan priests whom they had appointed [the] kings of Judah and he made smoke at the high places in [the] cities of Judah and [the] surroundings of Jerusalem and the [ones who] made smoke to Baal to the sun and to the moon and to the constellations and to all [the] host of the heavens.
6 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.
And he brought out the Asherah pole from [the] house of Yahweh from [the] outside of Jerusalem to [the] wadi of Kidron and he burned it in [the] wadi of Kidron and he crushed [it] to dust and he threw dust its on [the] burial site of [the] sons of the people.
7 Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩmomora nyũmba cia ihooero cia maraya ma arũme, iria ciarĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, na nokuo atumia maatumagĩra macuka ma Ashera.
And he broke down [the] houses of the male cult prostitutes which [were] in [the] house of Yahweh where the women [were] weaving there containers for Asherah.

9 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.
Nevertheless not they went up [the] priests of the high places to [the] altar of Yahweh in Jerusalem that except they ate unleavened bread in among brothers their.
10 Nĩaathũkirie Tofeti ĩrĩa yarĩ Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Beni-Hinomu, nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩarutire mũriũ kana mwarĩ arĩ igongona rĩa njino kũrĩ Moleku.
And he made unclean Topheth which [was] in [the] valley of (Ben *Q(K)*) Hinnom to not to make pass anyone son his and daughter his in the fire to Molech.
11 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 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.
And the altars which [were] on the roof of [the] upper room of Ahaz which they had made - [the] kings of Judah and the altars which he had made Manasseh in [the] two [the] courtyards of [the] house of Yahweh he pulled down the king and he ran from there and he threw dust their into [the] wadi of Kidron.
13 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.
And the high places which - [were] on [the] face of Jerusalem which [were] from [the] south of [the] mountain of destruction which he had built Solomon [the] king of Israel to Astarte - [the] detestable thing of [the] Sidonians and to Chemosh [the] detestable thing of Moab and to Milcom [the] abomination of [the] people of Ammon he made unclean the king.
14 Josia akĩhehenja mahiga marĩa maamũre, na akĩmomora mĩhianano ya itugĩ cia Ashera, na agĩkũhumbĩra na mahĩndĩ ma andũ.
And he broke the sacred pillars and he cut down the Asherah poles and he filled place their bones of humankind.
15 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.
And also the altar which [was] at Beth-el the high place which he had made Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat who he caused to sin Israel also the altar that and the high place he tore down and he burned the high place he crushed [it] to dust and he burned [the] Asherah pole.
16 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.
And he turned Josiah and he saw the graves which [were] there on the mountain and he sent and he took the bones from the graves and he burned [them] on the altar and he made unclean it according to [the] word of Yahweh which he had proclaimed [the] man of God who he proclaimed the words these.
17 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.”
And he said what? [is] the monument this which I [am] seeing and they said to him [the] people of the city the grave of [the] man of God who he came from Judah and he proclaimed the things these which you have done on the altar of Beth-el.
18 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.
And he said leave alone him anyone may not he disturb bones his and they left undisturbed bones his [the] bones of the prophet who he had come from Samaria.
19 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.
And also all [the] houses of the high places which - [were] in [the] cities of Samaria which they had made [the] kings of Israel to provoke anger he removed Josiah and he did to them according to all the deeds which he had done at Beth-el.
20 Josia akĩũragĩra athĩnjĩri-ngai othe a kũndũ kũu gũtũũgĩru igũrũ rĩa igongona icio, na agĩcinĩra mahĩndĩ ma andũ igũrũ rĩacio. Agĩcooka agĩthiĩ Jerusalemu.
And he slaughtered all [the] priests of the high places who [were] there on the altars and he burned bones of humankind on them and he returned Jerusalem.
21 Mũthamaki akĩruta watho ũyũ kũrĩ andũ othe, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kũngũĩrai Bathaka ya Jehova Ngai wanyu, o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ rĩĩrĩ rĩa Kĩrĩkanĩro.”
And he commanded the king all the people saying observe a passover to Yahweh God your according to [what] is written on [the] scroll of the covenant this.
22 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.
For not it had been observed like the passover this since [the] days of the judges who they judged Israel and all [the] days of [the] kings of Israel and [the] kings of Judah.
23 Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩnana wa Mũthamaki Josia, Bathaka ĩyo ya Jehova nĩyakũngũĩirwo kũu Jerusalemu.
That except in eight-teen year of the king Josiah it was observed the passover this to Yahweh in Jerusalem.
24 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.
And also the necromancers and the soothsayers and the teraphim and the idols and all the detestable things which they were seen in [the] land of Judah and in Jerusalem he removed Josiah so as to carry out [the] words of the law which were written on the scroll which he had found Hilkiah the priest [the] house of Yahweh.
25 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.
And like him not he had been before him a king who he turned back to Yahweh with all heart his and with all being his and with all strength his according to all [the] law of Moses and after him not he arose like him.
26 No rĩrĩ, Jehova ndaigana kũgarũrũka atige marakara make mahiũ, marĩa maakanaga ma gũũkĩrĩra Juda, nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ marĩa mothe Manase eekĩte ma kũmũrakaria.
Nevertheless - not he turned back Yahweh from [the] burning of anger his great which it burned anger his on Judah on all the provocations which he had provoked to anger him Manasseh.
27 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.’”
And he said Yahweh also Judah I will remove from on face my just as I removed Israel and I will reject the city this which I chose Jerusalem and the house which I said it will be name my there.
28 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Josia, na marĩa eekire, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
And [the] rest of [the] matters of Josiah and all that he did ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Judah.
29 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.
In days his he went up Pharaoh Necho [the] king of Egypt on [the] king of Assyria to [the] river of Euphrates and he went the king Josiah to meet him and he killed him at Megiddo when saw he him.
30 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.
And they made ride him servants his dead from Megiddo and they brought him Jerusalem and they buried him in own grave his and it took [the] people of the land Jehoahaz [the] son of Josiah and they anointed him and they made king him in place of father his.
31 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 Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa maithe make meekĩte.
And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh according to all that they had done ancestors his.
33 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.
And he confined him Pharaoh Necho at Riblah in [the] land of Hamath (from reigning *Q(K)*) in Jerusalem and he put a fine on the land one hundred talent[s] of silver and a talent of gold.
34 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.
And he made king Pharaoh Necho Eliakim [the] son of Josiah in place of Josiah father his and he changed name his Jehoiakim and Jehoahaz he took and he came Egypt and he died there.
35 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.
And the silver and the gold he gave Jehoiakim to Pharaoh only he taxed the land to give the silver on [the] mouth of Pharaoh each according to valuation his he exacted the silver and the gold [the] people of the land to give [it] to Pharaoh Necho.
36 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 Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova o ta ũrĩa maithe make meekĩte.
And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh according to all that they had done ancestors his.
