2 Sarakuna 22
1 Yosiya yana da shekara takwas sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi mulki shekara talatin da ɗaya a Urushalima. Sunan mahaifiyarsa Yedida’yar Adahiya; mutuniyar Bozkat.
Josiah was eight years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for thirty-one years; his mother's name was Jedidah, daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.
2 Ya aikata abin da yake daidai a gaban Ubangiji ya kuma bi dukan gurbin kakansa Dawuda, bai bauɗe hagu ko dama ba.
He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, walking in the ways of David his father, without turning to the right hand or to the left.
3 A shekara ta goma sha takwas ta mulkinsa, Sarki Yosiya ya aiki Shafan ɗan Azaliya, ɗan Meshullam, magatakarda, zuwa haikalin Ubangiji. Ya ce,
Now in the eighteenth year after he became king, Josiah sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the Lord, saying to him,
4 “Ka haura zuwa wurin Hilkiya babban firist ka sa yă shirya kuɗin da aka kawo a haikalin Ubangiji, wanda masu tsaron ƙofa suka tara daga mutane.
Go up to Hilkiah, the chief priest, and let him give out the money which is taken into the house of the Lord, which the keepers of the door have got together from the people;
5 Ka sa su danƙa su a hannun waɗanda aka zaɓa don biyan ma’aikatan da suka yi gyara a haikalin Ubangiji,
And let it be given to the overseers of the work of the Lord's house, to give to the workmen who are making good what was damaged in the house of the Lord;
6 wato, kafintoci, da magina, da masu tsara gini. Ka kuma sa su sayi katakai da sassaƙaƙƙun duwatsu don a gyara haikalin.
To the woodworkers and the builders and the stone-cutters; and for getting wood and cut stones for the building up of the house.
7 Amma ba sa bukata su ba da bayanin kuɗin da aka danƙa musu domin suna aikinsu da aminci.”
They did not have to give any account of the money which was handed to them, for they made use of it with good faith.
8 Hilkiya babban firist ya ce wa Shafan magatakarda, “Na sami Littafin Doka a haikalin Ubangiji.” Sai ya ba wa Shafan, shi kuma ya karanta.
Then Hilkiah, the chief priest, said to Shaphan the scribe, I have made discovery of the book of the law in the house of the Lord. So Hilkiah gave it to Shaphan;
9 Sa’an nan Shafan ya koma wurin sarki ya ce masa, “Hafsoshinka sun kwashe kuɗin da suke a haikalin Ubangiji, suka ba wa masu aiki da masu lura da haikalin.”
Then, after reading it, Shaphan the scribe went in to the king and gave him an account of what had been done, saying, Your servants have given out the money which was in the house, and have given it to the overseers of the work of the house of the Lord.
10 Sa’an nan Shafan magatakarda ya ce wa sarki, “Hilkiya firist ya ba ni wani littafi.” Sai Shafan ya karanta shi a gaban sarki.
Then Shaphan the scribe said to the king, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book; and he was reading it before the king.
11 Da sarki ya ji kalmomin Littafin Doka, sai ya kece tufafinsa.
And the king, hearing the words of the book of the law, took his robe in his hands, violently parting it as a sign of his grief;
12 Ya ba da waɗannan umarnai ga Hilkiya firist, da Ahikam ɗan Shafan, da Akbor ɗan Mikahiya, da Shafan magatakarda, da kuma Asahiya mai hidimar sarki, ya ce,
And he gave orders to Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Achbor, the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying,
13 “Ku je, ku nemi nufin Ubangiji saboda ni da saboda jama’a da kuma saboda dukan Yahuda game da abin da wannan littafi da aka samo ya ƙunsa. Fushin Ubangiji mai girma ne a kanmu domin kakanninmu ba su kiyaye kalmomin littafin nan ba; ba su aikata bisa ga abin da yake a rubuce game da mu ba.”
Go and get directions from the Lord for me and for the people and for all Judah, about the words of this book which has come to light; for great is the wrath of the Lord which is burning against us, because our fathers have not given ear to the words of this book, to do all the things which are recorded in it.
14 Sai Hilkiya firist, da Ahikam, Akbor, da Shafan, da kuma Asahiya suka je don su yi magana da annabiya Hulda, matan Shallum ɗan Tikba, ɗan Harhas, mai ajiyar tufafi. Tana zama a Urushalima, a Yanki na Biyu.
So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam and Achbor and Shaphan and Asaiah, went to Huldah the woman prophet, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the robes, (now she was living in Jerusalem, in the second part of the town; ) and they had talk with her.
15 Sai ta ce musu, “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce, ku faɗa wa mutumin da ya aike ku wurina,
And she said to them, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, Say to the man who sent you to me,
16 ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, zan kawo masifa wa wannan wuri da kuma wa kan mutanen wurin, bisa ga dukan abubuwan da suke a rubuce a cikin littafin da sarkin Yahuda ya karanta.
These are the words of the Lord: See, I will send evil on this place and on its people, even everything which the king of Judah has been reading in the book;
17 Domin sun yashe ni suka ƙona turare wa waɗansu alloli, suka tozarta ni da dukan gumakan da hannuwansu suka sassaƙa, fushina zai yi ƙuna a kan wannan wuri, ba kuwa zai huce ba.’
Because they have given me up, burning offerings to other gods and moving me to wrath by all the work of their hands; so my wrath will be on fire against this place, and will not be put out.
18 Ku faɗa wa sarkin Yahuda, wanda ya aike ku ku nemi nufin Ubangiji, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila yana 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: As to the words which have come to your ears,
19 Domin zuciyarka mai tuba ce, ka kuma ƙasƙantar da kanka a gaban Ubangiji sa’ad da ka ji abin da na faɗa game da wannan wuri da mutanen wurin, cewa za su zama la’antattu da kuma kango, domin kuma ka kece tufafinka, ka kuma yi kuka a gabana, na ji ka, in ji Ubangiji.
Because your heart was soft, and you made yourself low before me, when you had word of what I said against this place and its people, that they would become a waste and a curse, and you gave signs of grief, weeping before me: truly, I have given ear to you, says the Lord.
20 Saboda haka zan haɗa ka da kakanninka, za a kuma binne ka cikin salama. Idanunka kuma ba za su ga dukan wannan masifan da zan jawo wa wurin nan ba.’” Sai suka kai wa sarki abin da ta faɗa.
For this cause 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. So they took this news back to the king.
