2 Sarakuna 23
1 Sai sarki ya kira dukan dattawan Yahuda da Urushalima.
And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
2 Sai ya haura zuwa cikin haikalin Ubangiji tare da mutanen Yahuda, da na Urushalima, da firistoci, da annabawa, dukan mutane, manya da ƙanana. Ya karanta musu duk kalmomin Littafin Alkawari, wanda aka samu a haikalin Ubangiji.
And the king went up to the house of Jehovah, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of Jehovah.
3 Sarki ya tsaya dab da ginshiƙi ya kuma sabunta alkawarin a gaban Ubangiji, ya ce zai bi Ubangiji, yă kiyaye dokokinsa, da ƙa’idodinsa, da farillansa, da dukan zuciyarsa da dukan ransa, ta haka ya tabbatar da kalmomin alkawarin da yake a rubuce a cikin littafin nan. Sa’an nan dukan mutane ma suka yi alkawari yin haka.
And the king stood by the pillar, and made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all [his] heart, and all [his] soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book: and all the people stood to the covenant.
4 Sai Yosiya ya umarci Hilkiya babban firist, tare da firistocin da suke taimakonsa, da masu tsaron ƙofa su kawar da dukan abubuwan da aka yi domin Ba’al, da domin Ashera, da kuma domin dukan rundunar taurari, daga haikalin Ubangiji. Ya ƙone su a bayan Urushalima a filayen Kwarin Kidron, ya kwashe tokan zuwa Betel.
And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring forth out of the temple of Jehovah all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of heaven, and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el.
5 Ya kawar da firistocin gumakan da sarakunan Yahuda suka naɗa don su ƙona turare a masujadan kan tuddai na garuruwan Yahuda, da kuma waɗanda suke kewaye da Urushalima, masu ƙona turare wa Ba’al, rana da wata, ga rukunin taurari, da kuma ga dukan rundunan taurari.
And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
6 Ya ɗauke ginshiƙin Ashera daga haikalin Ubangiji zuwa Kwarin Kidron can bayan Urushalima, ya ƙone shi a can. Ya niƙa shi sai da ya zama toka, sai ya watsar da ƙurar a filin kabarin talakawa.
And he brought out the Asherah from the house of Jehovah, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast the dust thereof upon the graves of the common people.
7 Ya kuma rurrushe mazaunan karuwai mazan haikali waɗanda suke a haikalin Ubangiji, da kuma inda mata suke yi wa Ashera saƙa.
And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were in the house of Jehovah, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah.
8 Yosiya ya kawo dukan firistoci daga garuruwan Yahuda, ya kuma lalatar da masujadan kan tuddai daga Geba har zuwa Beyersheba, inda firistoci suke ƙona turare. Ya rurrushe matsafai a ƙofofi shigan gari na mashigi zuwa Ƙofar Yoshuwa, gwamnan birnin, wanda yake a hagu da ƙofar birnin.
And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beer-sheba; and he brake down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city.
9 Ko da yake firistocin masujadan kan tuddai ba su yi hidima a bagaden Ubangiji a Urushalima ba, sun ci burodi marar yisti tare da sauran firistoci.
Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of Jehovah in Jerusalem, but they did eat unleavened bread among their brethren.
10 Ya lalatar da Tofet, wanda yake a Kwarin Ben Hinnom, don kada kowa yă iya yin amfani da wurin don yă miƙa hadayar ɗansa, ko’yarsa a wuta ga Molek.
And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
11 Ya kawar da dawakan nan da sarakunan Yahuda suka keɓe wa gumakan nan na rana daga mashigin haikalin Ubangiji. Waɗannan dawakan suna kusa da ɗakin Natan Melek, ɗaya daga cikin dattawan sarki. Yosiya ya kuma ƙone kekunan yaƙi a yin sujada ga gumakan nan rana.
And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of Jehovah, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the precincts; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
12 Ya rushe bagadan da sarakunan Yahuda suka kafa a kan ɗakin sama kusa da ɗakin sama na Ahaz, da kuma bagadai biyu da Manasse ya gina a filaye biyu na haikalin Ubangiji. Ya kawar da su daga can, ya farfashe su, ya zubar da tarkacen a Kwarin Kidron.
And the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of Jehovah, did the king break down, and beat [them] down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
13 Sarkin kuma ya lalatar da masujadan kan tuddan da suke gabas da Urushalima, kudu da Tudun Hallaka, waɗanda Solomon sarkin Isra’ila ya gina don Ashtarot, ƙazantacciyar alliyar Sidoniyawa, da Kemosh ƙazantaccen allah na Mowab, da kuma Molek allahn banƙyama na mutanen Ammon.
And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
14 Yosiya ya farfashe keɓaɓɓun duwatsu, ya rurrushe ginshiƙan Asheransu, ya baza ƙasusuwan mutane a can.
And he brake in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men.
15 Har ma da bagaden Betel, masujadan kan tudun da Yerobowam ɗan Nebat ya yi, wanda ya sa Isra’ila suka yi zunubi. Wannan bagade da masujadan kan tudun ma ya kawar, ya ƙone masujadan kan tudun, ya niƙa su, ya kuma ƙone ginshiƙin Ashera.
Moreover the altar that was at Beth-el, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he brake down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.
16 Da Yosiya ya dubi kewaye da shi, ya ga kaburburan da suke can a gefen tudu, sai ya sa aka kwaso ƙasusuwan da suke cikinsu aka ƙone a kan bagade don yă lalatar da shi bisa ga maganar Ubangiji ta bakin mutumin Allah, wanda ya yi annabcin waɗannan abubuwa.
And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount; and he sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of Jehovah which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.
17 Sarkin ya yi tambaya, ya ce, “Wane kabari ke nan nake gani?” Mutanen birnin suka ce, “Ai, kabarin annabin Allah ne wanda ya fito daga Yahuda, shi ne ya yi annabcin waɗannan abubuwan da ka aikata gāba da bagaden Betel.”
Then he said, What monument is that which I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Beth-el.
18 Sai ya ce, “Ku rabu da shi, kada wani yă dami ƙasusuwansa.” Saboda haka suka bar kasusuwansa, da na annabin da ya fito Samariya.
And he said, Let him be; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
19 Kamar yadda ya yi a Betel, Yosiya ya kawar da dukan ɗakunan gumaka a kan tuddan da sarakunan Isra’ila suka gina a garuruwan Samariya, waɗanda suka tozarta Ubangiji.
And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke [Jehovah] to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Beth-el.
20 Yosiya ya yayyanka dukan firistoci na waɗannan masujadan kan tuddai, ya kuma ƙone ƙasusuwan mutane a kansu. Sa’an nan ya koma Urushalima.
And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there, upon the altars, and burned men’s bones upon them; and he returned to Jerusalem.
21 Sarkin ya ba da umarnin nan ga dukan mutane, cewa, “Ku yi Bikin Ƙetarewa ga Ubangiji Allahnku, yadda aka rubuta a Littafin Alkawari.”
And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto Jehovah your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.
22 Ba a taɓa yin irin Bikin Ƙetarewa haka ba, tun zamanin da masu shari’a suke aiki a matsayin sarakuna, ko a kwanakin sarakunan Isra’ila, ko na Yahuda.
Surely there was not kept such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
23 Amma a shekara ta goma sha takwas ta mulkin sarki Yosiya, aka yi Bikin Ƙetarewan nan ga Ubangiji a Urushalima.
but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this passover kept to Jehovah in Jerusalem.
24 Ban da haka, Yosiya ya kawar da masu duba, da masu maita, da allolin gidaje, da gumaka, da duk wani abin banƙyaman da ya gani a Yahuda da Urushalima. Ya yi wannan domin yă cika wa’adodin shari’a yadda suke a littafin da Hilkiya firist ya samu a haikalin Ubangiji.
Moreover them that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of Jehovah.
25 Babu wani sarki kafin Yosiya, ko kuma a bayansa, wanda ya juya ga Ubangiji da dukan zuciyarsa, da dukan ransa, da dukan ƙarfinsa bisa ga shari’ar Musa, kamar yadda ya yi.
And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to Jehovah with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
26 Duk da haka, Ubangiji bai huce daga zafin fushinsa wanda ya ƙuna game da Yahuda saboda abin da Manasse ya aikata don yă tozarta shi ba.
Notwithstanding, Jehovah turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations wherewith Manasseh had provoked him.
27 Saboda haka Ubangiji ya ce, “Zan shafe Yahuda ma kamar yadda na shafe Isra’ila, daga gabana, zan ƙi Urushalima birnin da na zaɓa, da wannan haikali wanda na ce, ‘A can Sunana zai kasance.’”
And Jehovah said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.
28 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Yosiya, da duk abin da ya yi, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Yahuda.
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
29 Yayinda Yosiya yake sarki, Fir’auna Neko, sarkin Masar ya haura zuwa Kogin Yuferites don yă taimaki sarkin Assuriya da yaƙi. Sarki Yosiya kuwa ya yi ƙoƙari ya hana shi wucewa, sa’ad da Fir’auna Neko ya gan shi, sai ya kashe shi a filin yaƙi a Megiddo.
In his days Pharaoh-necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and [Pharaoh-necoh] slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
30 Bayin Yosiya suka ɗauko gawarsa daga Megiddo suka kai Urushalima, suka binne shi a kabarinsa. Sai mutanen ƙasar suka ɗauki Yehoyahaz ɗan Yosiya suka naɗa shi sarki a madadin mahaifinsa.
And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.
31 Yehoyahaz yana da shekara ashirin da uku sa’ad da ya zama sarki. Ya yi mulki na wata uku a Urushalima. Sunan mahaifiyarsa Hamutal’yar Irmiya; mutuniyar Libna.
Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
32 Ya aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji, yadda kakanninsa suka yi.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.
33 Fir’auna Neko ya sa shi a sarƙa a Ribla a ƙasar Hamat don kada yă yi mulki a Urushalima, sa’an nan ya sa wa Yahuda harajin talenti ɗari na azurfa, da talenti ɗaya na zinariya.
And Pharaoh-necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
34 Fir’auna Neko ya naɗa Eliyakim ɗan Yosiya sarki a maimakon mahaifinsa, ya kuma canja masa suna zuwa Yehohiyakim. Ya ɗauki Yehoyahaz ya kai Masar, a can ya mutu.
And Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim: but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and died there.
35 Yehohiyakim ya riƙa biyan Fir’auna Neko azurfa da zinariyar da ya umarta. Don yă yi haka sai ya riƙa karɓar azurfa da zinariya daga mutanen ƙasar, kowa bisa ga ƙarfinsa.
And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaoh-necoh.
36 Yehohiyakim yana da shekara ashirin da biyar sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi mulki shekara goma sha ɗaya a Urushalima. Sunan mahaifiyarsa Zebuda’yar Fedahiya, mutuniyar Ruma.
Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
37 Ya kuma aika mugunta a gaban Ubangiji yadda kakanninsa suka yi.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.
