2 Tarihi 34
1 Yosiya yana da shekara goma sha takwas sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi mulki a Urushalima shekara talatin da ɗaya.
Josiah was eight years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for thirty-one years.
2 Ya yi abin da yake daidai a gaban Ubangiji ya kuma yi tafiya a hanyoyin kakansa Dawuda, ba tare da juye dama ko hagu ba.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, walking in the ways of his father David, without turning to the right hand or to the left.
3 A shekara ta takwas ta mulkinsa, yayinda yake matashi, sai ya fara neman Allah na kakansa Dawuda. A shekara ta goma sha biyunsa ya fara tsabtacce Yahuda da Urushalima daga masujadan kan tudu, ginshiƙan Ashera, sassaƙaƙƙun gumaka da kuma siffofin da aka yi zubi.
In the eighth year of his rule, while he was still young, his heart was first turned to the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he undertook the clearing away of all the high places and the pillars and the images of wood and metal from Judah and Jerusalem.
4 A ƙarƙashin umarninsa aka rurrushe bagadan Ba’al, ya kuma tumɓuke bagadan ƙona turare waɗanda suke a bisansu, ya farfashe ginshiƙan Ashera da kuma sassaƙaƙƙun siffofi. Ya ragargaza waɗannan kucu-kucu, ya barbaɗa su a kan kaburburan waɗanda suka miƙa musu hadayu.
He had the altars of the Baals broken down, while he himself was present; and the sun-images which were placed on high over them he had cut down; and the pillars of wood and the metal images he had broken up and crushed to dust, dropping the dust over the resting-places of the dead who had made offerings to them.
5 Ya ƙone ƙasusuwan firistocin gumaka a kan bagaden da a dā suke miƙa hadayunsu, ta haka ya tsabtacce Yahuda da Urushalima.
And he had the bones of the priests burned on their altars, and so he made Judah and Jerusalem clean.
6 Ya yi haka cikin garuruwan Manasse, Efraim da Simeyon, har zuwa Naftali, da kuma cikin kangwayen kewayensu,
And in all the towns of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon as far as Naphtali, he made waste their houses round about.
7 ya farfashe bagadai da ginshiƙan Ashera; ya niƙa gumaka suka zama gari, ya kuma yayyanka dukan bagadan turare kucu-kucu ko’ina a Isra’ila. Sa’an nan ya koma Urushalima.
He had the altars and the pillars of wood pulled down and the images crushed to dust, and all the sun-images cut down, through all the land of Israel, and then he went back to Jerusalem.
8 A shekara ta goma sha takwas ta mulkin Yosiya, ya tsarkake ƙasar da haikalin, ya aiki Shafan ɗan Azaliya da Ma’asehiya mai mulkin birni, tare da Yowa ɗan Yowahaz, marubuci, su gyara haikalin Ubangiji Allah.
Now in the eighteenth year of his rule, when the land and the house had been made clean, he sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah, the ruler of the town, and Joah, the son of Joahaz, the recorder, to make good what was damaged in the house of the Lord his God.
9 Suka tafi wurin Hilkiya babban firist suka ba shi kuɗin da aka kawo cikin haikalin Allah, wanda Lawiyawa masu tsaron ƙofofi sun tattara daga mutanen Manasse, Efraim da dukan raguwar Isra’ila da kuma daga dukan mutanen Yahuda da Benyamin da kuma mazaunan Urushalima.
And they came to Hilkiah, the chief priest, and gave him all the money which had been taken into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the door, had got from Manasseh and Ephraim and those of Israel who had not been taken away as prisoners, and from all Judah and Benjamin and the people of Jerusalem.
10 Sa’an nan suka danƙa su ga mutanen da aka naɗa su lura da aiki a kan haikalin Ubangiji. Waɗannan mutane ne suke biyan ma’aikatan da suka gyara suka kuma mai da haikalin.
And they gave it to the overseers of the work of the Lord's house, and the overseers gave it to the workmen working in the house, for building it up and making good what was damaged;
11 Suka kuma ba da kuɗi ga kafintoci da magina don su sayi sassaƙaƙƙun duwatsu, da katakai don yin tsaiko da tankar ginin da sarakunan Yahuda suka bari yă fāɗi ya zama kango.
Even to the woodworkers and builders to get cut stone and wood for joining the structure together and for making boards for the houses which the kings of Judah had given up to destruction.
12 Mutanen fa suka yi aiki da aminci. Shugabanninsu, su ne Yahat da Obadiya, Lawiyawa zuriyar Merari da Zakariya da Meshullam, zuriyar Kohat. Dukan Lawiyawa waɗanda suke gwanaye a kayan kiɗi,
And the men did the work well; and those who had authority over them were Jahath and Obadiah, Levites of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, who were to be responsible for seeing that the work was done; and others of the Levites, who were expert with instruments of music,
13 sun lura da ma’aikata, suka kuma lura da dukan masu aiki daga aiki zuwa aiki. Waɗansu Lawiyawan su ne marubuta, magatakarda da kuma masu tsaron ƙofofi.
Had authority over the transport workers, giving directions to all who were doing any sort of work; and among the Levites there were scribes and overseers and door-keepers.
14 Yayinda suke fitar da kuɗin da aka kai cikin haikalin Ubangiji, sai Hilkiya firist ya sami Littafin Dokar Ubangiji da aka bayar ta wurin Musa.
Now when they were taking out the money which had come into the Lord's house, Hilkiah the priest came across the book of the law of the Lord, which he had given by the mouth of Moses.
15 Hilkiya ya ce wa Shafan magatakarda, “Na sami Littafin Doka a cikin haikalin Ubangiji.” Sai ya ba wa Shafan.
Then Hilkiah said to Shaphan the scribe, I have made discovery of the book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan.
16 Sa’an nan Shafan ya ɗauki littafin zuwa wurin sarki, ya faɗa masa, “Manyan ma’aikatanka suna yin kome da aka sa su.
And Shaphan took the book to the king; and he gave him an account of what had been done, saying, Your servants are doing all they have been given to do;
17 Mun ɗauke kuɗin da an ajiye a haikalin Ubangiji muka ba wa masu aiki da waɗanda suke lura da su.”
They have taken out all the money which was in the Lord's house and have given it to the overseers and to the workmen.
18 Sa’an nan Shafan magatakarda ya sanar da sarki ya ce, “Hilkiya firist ya ba ni wani littafi.” Sai Shafan ya karanta daga cikinsa a gaban sarki.
Then Shaphan the scribe said to the king, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book; and he made a start at reading some of it to the king.
19 Da sarki ya ji kalmomin Doka, sai ya yage rigunansa.
And the king, hearing the words of the law, took his robe in his hands, violently parting it as a sign of his grief.
20 Ya ba da waɗannan umarnai ga Hilkiya, Ahikam ɗan Shafan, Abdon ɗan Mika, Shafan magatakarda da kuma Asahiya mai hidimar sarki.
And he gave orders to Hilkiah and to Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Abdon, the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe and Asaiah, the king's servant, saying,
21 Ya ce, “Ku tafi ku nemi nufin Ubangiji saboda ni da kuma saboda raguwa a Isra’ila da Yahuda game da abin da aka rubuta a wannan littafin da aka samu. Fushin Ubangiji mai girma ne da aka zuba a kanmu domin kakanninmu ba su kiyaye maganar Ubangiji ba; ba su aikata bisa ga dukan abin da yake a rubuce a wannan littafi ba.”
Go and get directions from the Lord for me and for those who are still in Israel and for Judah, about the words of this book which has come to light; for great is the wrath of the Lord which has been let loose on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord or done what is recorded in this book.
22 Hilkiya tare da waɗanda sarki ya aika, suka tafi suka yi magana da annabiya Hulda, wadda take matar Shallum ɗan Tokhat ɗan Hasra, mai tsaron wurin ajiyar riguna. Tana zama a Urushalima, a Yanki na Biyu.
So Hilkiah, and those whom the king sent, went to Huldah the woman prophet, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the robes (now she was living in Jerusalem, in the second part of the town); and they had talk with her about this thing.
23 Sai ta ce musu, “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce faɗa wa mutumin da ya aike ku gare ni,
And she said to them, The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, Say to the man who sent you to me,
24 ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce zai kawo masifa a wannan wuri da mutanensa, dukan la’anar da aka rubuta a cikin littafin da aka karanta a gaban sarkin Yahuda.
These are the words of the Lord: See, I will send evil on this place and on its people, even all the curses in the book which they have been reading before the king of Judah;
25 Domin sun yashe ni suka kuma ƙone turare wa waɗansu alloli, suka tsokane ni in yi fushi ta wurin dukan abin da hannuwansu suka yi, fushina zai zuba a kan wannan wuri, ba kuma za a kwantar da shi ba.’
Because they have given me up, burning offerings to other gods and moving me to wrath by all the works of their hands; so my wrath is let loose on this place and will not be put out.
26 Ku faɗa wa sarkin Yahuda, wanda ya aike ku ku nemi nufin Ubangiji, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila yake cewa game da kalmomin da ka ji.
But to the king of Judah who sent you to get directions from the Lord, say, This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said: Because you have given ear to my words,
27 Domin zuciyarka mai tuba ce, ka kuma ƙasƙantar da kanka a gaban Allah sa’ad da ka ji abin da ya yi magana a kan wannan wuri da mutanensa, domin kuma ka ƙasƙantar da kanka a gabana, ka yage rigunanka ka kuma yi kuka a gabana, na ji ka, in ji Ubangiji.
And your heart was soft, and you made yourself low before God, on hearing his words about this place and its people, and with weeping and signs of grief have made yourself low before me, I have given ear to you, says the Lord God.
28 Yanzu zan tara ka da kakanninka, za a kuma binne ka cikin salama. Idanunka ba za su ga dukan masifar da zan kawo a kan wannan wuri da kuma a kan waɗanda suke zama a nan ba.’” Sai suka kai amsar wa sarki.
See, I will let you go to your fathers, and be put in your last resting-place in peace, and your eyes will not see all the evil which I will send on this place and on its people. So they took this news back to the king.
29 Sai sarki ya kira dukan dattawan Yahuda da Urushalima.
Then the king sent and got together all the responsible men of Judah and of Jerusalem.
30 Ya haura zuwa haikalin Ubangiji tare da mutanen Yahuda, mutanen Urushalima, firistoci da Lawiyawa, dukan mutane daga ƙarami zuwa babba. Ya karanta dukan kalmomin Littafin Alkawari wanda aka samu a cikin haikalin Ubangiji a kunnuwansu.
And the king went up to the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, and the priests and the Levites and all the people, small and great; and they were present at his reading of the book of the law which had come to light in the house of the Lord.
31 Sai sarkin ya miƙe tsaye a inda yake, ya sabunta alkawari a gaban Ubangiji, don yă bi Ubangiji yă kiyaye umarnansa, ƙa’idodinsa da kuma farillansa da dukan zuciyarsa da kuma dukan ransa, ya kuma yi biyayya da kalmomin alkawarin da aka rubuta a cikin wannan littafi.
Then the king, taking his place by the pillar, made an agreement before the Lord, to go in the way of the Lord, and to keep his orders and his decisions and his rules with all his heart and with all his soul, and to keep the words of the agreement recorded in this book.
32 Sa’an nan ya sa kowa a Urushalima da Benyamin ya yi alkawari ga wannan; mutanen Urushalima suka aikata wannan bisa ga alkawarin Allah, Allah na kakanninsu.
And he made all the people in Jerusalem and Benjamin give their word to keep it. And the people of Jerusalem kept the agreement of God, the God of their fathers.
33 Yosiya ya fitar da dukan gumakan banƙyama daga dukan yankunan Isra’ilawa, ya kuma sa dukan waɗanda suke a Isra’ila su bauta wa Ubangiji Allahnsu. Muddin ransa, ba su fasa bin Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsu ba.
Josiah took away all the disgusting things out of all the lands of the children of Israel, and made all who were in Israel servants of the Lord their God. And as long as he was living they were true to the Lord, the God of their fathers.
