2 Sarakuna 23
1 Sai sarki ya kira dukan dattawan Yahuda da Urushalima.
So they reported the word to the king: and the king sent and gathered all the elders of Juda and Jerusalem to himself.
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 the Lord, and every man of Juda and all who dwelt in Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people small and great; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the Lord.
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 a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his ordinances with all the heart and with all the soul, to confirm the words of this covenant; [even] the things 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 Chelcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and them that kept the door, to bring out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and all the host of heaven, and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kedron, and took the ashes of them to Baethel.
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 burned the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Juda [had] appointed, (and they burned incense in the high places and in the cities of Juda, and the places around about Jerusalem); and them that burned incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to Mazuroth, 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 carried out the grove from the house of the Lord to the brook Kedron, and burned it at the brook Kedron, and reduced it to powder, and cast its powder on the sepulchres of the sons of the 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 pulled down the house of the sodomites that were by the house of the Lord, where the women wove tents for the grove.
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 up all the priest from the cities of Juda, and defiled the high places where the priests burned incense, from Gaebal even to Bersabee; and he pulled down the house of the gates that was by the door of the gate of Joshua the ruler of the city, 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.
Only the priests of the high places went not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, for they only ate leavened bread in the midst of 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 Tapheth which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, [constructed] for a man to cause his son or his daughter to pass through fire to Moloch.
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 burned the horses which the king of Juda had given to the sun in the entrance of the house of the Lord, by the treasury of Nathan the king's eunuch, in the suburbs; and he burned the chariot 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 Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, did the king pull down and forcibly remove from thence, and cast their dust into the brook of Kedron.
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 king defiled the house that was before Jerusalem, on the right hand of the mount of Mosthath, which Solomon king of Israel built to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the abomination of Moab, and to Moloch the abomination of the children of Ammon.
14 Yosiya ya farfashe keɓaɓɓun duwatsu, ya rurrushe ginshiƙan Asheransu, ya baza ƙasusuwan mutane a can.
And he broke in pieces the pillars, and utterly destroyed the groves, 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.
Also the high altar in Baethel, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that high altar he tore down, and broke in pieces the stones of it, and reduced it to powder, and burnt the grove.
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 Josias turned aside, and saw the tombs that were there in the city, and sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burnt them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the Lord which the man of God spoke, when Jeroboam stood by the altar at the feast: and he turned and raised his eyes to the tomb of the man of God that spoke these words.
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.”
And he said, What [is] that mound which I see? And the men of the city said to him, [It is the grave of] the man of God that came out of Juda, and uttered these imprecations which he imprecated upon the altar of Baethel.
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 alone; let no one disturb his bones. So his bones were spared, together 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.
Moreover Josias removed all the houses of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel made to provoke the Lord, and did to them all that he did in Baethel.
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 sacrificed all the priests of the high places that were there on the altars, and burnt the bones of men upon them, and 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 to the Lord your God, as it is written in the book of this 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.
For a passover [such as] this had not been kept from the days of the judges who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda.
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 Josias, was the passover kept to the Lord 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 Josias removed the sorcerers, and the wizards, and the theraphin, and the idols, and all the abominations that had been set up in the land of Juda and in Jerusalem, that he might keep the words of the law that were written in the book, which Chelcias the priest found in the house of the Lord.
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.
There was no king like him before him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, according to all the law of Moses; and after him there rose not one 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.
Nevertheless the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his great anger, wherewith he was wroth in his anger against Juda, because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses 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 the Lord said, I will also remove Juda from my presence, as I removed Israel, and will reject 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.
And the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
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.
And in his days went up Pharao Nechao king of Egypt against the king of the Assyrians to the river Euphrates: and Josias went out to meet him: and Nechao slew him in Mageddo when he saw 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 dead from Mageddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre: and the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and anointed him, and made him king in the room of his father.
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.
Twenty and three years old was Joachaz when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Amital, daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.
32 Ya aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji, yadda kakanninsa suka yi.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers did.
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 Pharao Nechao removed him to Rablaam in the land of Emath, so that he should not reign in Jerusalem; and imposed a tribute on the land, a hundred talents of silver, and a hundred talents 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 Pharao Nechao made Eliakim son of Josias king of Juda king over them in the place of his father Josias, and he changed his name [to] Joakim, and he took Joachaz and brought him to Egypt, and he 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 Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao; but he assessed the land to give the money at the command of Pharao: they gave the silver and the gold [each] man according to his assessment together with the people of the land to give to Pharao Nechao.
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.
Twenty-five years old [was] Joakim when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Jeldaph, daughter of Phadail of Ruma.
37 Ya kuma aika mugunta a gaban Ubangiji yadda kakanninsa suka yi.
And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
