II Oihanaalii 34
1 E WALU makahiki o Iosia i kona wa i alii ai; a noho alii iho la ia ma Ierusalema i na makahiki he kanakolukumamakahi.
Josias was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
2 Hana oia ma ka pololei imua o Iehova, hele no hoi ia ma na aoao o Davida, kona kupuna, aole ia i huli ae ma ka lima akau, aole hoi ma ka lima hema.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father David, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.
3 I ka makahiki ewalu o kona alii ana, i kona wa opiopio no, hoomaka iho la ia e imi i ke Akua o Davida, o kona kupuna; a i ka makahiki umikumamalua, hoomaka iho la ia e hookaawale, mai ka Iuda a me ko Ierusalema aku, i na wahi kiekie, a me na kii no Asetarota, a me na kii i kalaiia, a me na kii i hooheheeia.
And in the eighth year of his reign, and he [being] yet a youth, he began to seek the Lord God of his father David: and in the twelfth year of his reign he began to purge Juda and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the ornaments for the altars, and the molten images.
4 A wawahi lakou imua ona i na kuahu o Baala, a kua oia ilalo i ke kii maluna iho o ia mau mea, a me na kii no Asetarota, a me na kii i kalaiia, a me na kii i hooheheeia, wawahi iho la oia, a kuipalu iho la, a lulu iho la oia ia mea maluna o na ilina o ka poe i mohai aku ia mau mea.
And he pulled down the altars of Baalim that were before his face, and the high places that were above them; and he cut down the groves, and the graven images, and broke in pieces the molten images, and reduced them to powder, and cast [it] upon the surface of the tombs of those who [had] sacrificed to them.
5 A puhi oia i na iwi o na kahuna maluna o na kuahu, pela oia i hoomaemae ai ia Iuda, a me Ierusalema;
And he burnt the bones of the priests upon the altars, and purged Juda and Jerusalem.
6 A ma na kulanakauhale o Manase, a me Eperaima, a me Simeona, a hiki i Napetali, a me ko lakou wahi e pili ana ilaila a puni.
And [he did so] in the cities of Manasse, and Ephraim, and Symeon, and Nephthali, and the places round about them.
7 A wawahi ia i na kuahu, a me na kii no Asetarota, oki liilii oia a kuipalu iho la no hoi i na kii i kalaiia, a kua ilalo oia i na kii a pau ma ka aina a pau o ka Iseraela, alaila, hoi mai la ia i Ierusalema.
And he pulled down the altars and the groves, and he cut the idols in small pieces, and cut off all the high places from all the land of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem.
8 A i ka makahiki umikumamawalu o kona noho alii ana, i kona hoomaemae ana i ka aina, a me ka hale, hoouna aku la oia ia Sapana i ke keiki a Azalia, a me Maaseia ka luna o ke kulanakauhale, a me Ioa ke keiki a Ioahaza ka lunakakau, e hoomaikai hou i ka hale o Iehova kona Akua.
And in the eighteenth year of his reign, after having cleansed the land, and the house, he sent Saphan the son of Ezelias, and Maasa prefect of the city, and Juach son of Joachaz his recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God.
9 A hiki lakou io Hilikia la ke kahuna nui, haawi lakou i ke kala i laweia iloko o ka hale o ke Akua, i ka mea a na Levi, na kiaipuka i houluulu ai no ka Manase, a no ka Eperaima, a no ke koena o ka Iseraela, a na ka Iuda a pau a me ka Beniamina; a hoi lakou i Ierusalema.
And they came to Chelcias the high priest, and gave the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the gate collected of the hand of Manasse and Ephraim, and of the princes, and of every one that was left in Israel, and of the children of Juda and Benjamin, and of the dwellers in Jerusalem.
10 Haawi lakou ia mea iloko o ka lima o ka poe paahana, ka poe luna kiai i ka hale o Iehova, a na lakou i haawi ia mea i ka poe paahana, e hana ana iloko o ka hale o Iehova, e hooponopono a e hoomaikai hou i ka hale.
And they gave it into the hand of the workmen, who were appointed in the house of the Lord, and they gave it to the workmen who wrought in the house of the Lord, to repair and strengthen the house.
11 Haawi no lakou na ka poe kalai, a me ka poe kukulu hale e kuai i na pohaku i kalaiia, a me na laau i kaola e kapili ai i na hale a na'lii o ka Iuda i wawahi ai.
They gave [it] also to the carpenters and builders, to buy squared stones, and timber for beams to cover the houses which the kings of Juda had destroyed.
12 A hana pololei na kanaka i ka hana; a o ko lakou mau luna, oia Iahata, a me Obadia, na Levi, no na keiki hoi a Merari; a o Zekaria a me Mesulama no na keiki a Kohata, e hooikaika i ka hana; a o na Levi a pau i akamai i ka hoolea ana ma na mea kani.
And the men [were] faithfully [engaged] in the works: and over them were superintendents, Jeth and Abdias, Levites of the sons of Merari, and Zacharias and Mosollam, of the sons of Caath, [appointed] to oversee; and every Levite, and every one that understood [how] to play on musical instruments.
13 A aia no lakou maluna o ka poe halihali ukana, a o ka poe kiai lakou maluna o ka poe a pau nana i hana, a i lawelawe hoi ma kela mea keia mea; a no na Levi ka poe kakauolelo, a me ka poe luna, a me ka poe kiaipuka.
And [overseers were] over the burden-bearers, and over all the workmen in the respective works; and of the Levites [were appointed] scribes, and judges, and porters.
14 I ko lakou lawe ana iwaho i ke kala i laweia iloko o ka hale o Iehova, loaa iho la ia Hilikia ke kahuna ka buke kanawai o Iehova ma ka lima o Mose.
And when they brought forth the money that had been brought into the house of the Lord, Chelcias the priest found a book of the law of the Lord [given] by the hand of Moses.
15 Olelo aku la o Hilikia, i aku la ia Sapana, ke kakauolelo, Ua loaa ia'u ka buke kanawai iloko o ka hale o Iehova; a haawi o Hilikia i ka buke ia Sapana.
And Chelcias answered and said to Saphan the scribe, I have found a book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Chelcias gave the book to Saphan.
16 A lawe o Sapana i ka buke i ke alii, a hai aku ia ia i ka olelo, i aku la, O na mea a pau i kauohaia i kau poe kauwa, ke hana la no lakou.
And Saphan brought in the book to the king, and moreover gave an account to the king, [saying, This is] all the money given into the hand of thy servants that work.
17 A ua houluulu lakou i na kala i loaa'i iloko o ka hale o Iehova, a ua haawi lakou ia mea iloko o na lima o ka poe luna, a iloko o na lima o ka poe paahana.
And they have collected the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and given it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of them that do the work.
18 Alaila, olelo aku la o Sapana ke kakauolelo i ke alii, i aku la, Ua haawi mai o Hilikia ke kahuna ia'u i kekahi buke; a heluhelu o Sapana maloko o ia mea imua o ke alo o ke alii.
And Saphan the scribe brought word to the king, saying, Chelcias the priest has given me a book. And Saphan read it before the king.
19 A lohe ae la ke alii i na olelo o ke kanawai, haehae iho la ia i kona kapa.
And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the law, that he rent his garments.
20 A kauoha ke alii ia Hilikia, a me Ahikama, ke keiki a Sapana, a me Abedona ke keiki a Mika, a me Sapana ke kakauolelo, a me Asaia kekahi kauwa a ke alii, i aku la,
And the king commanded Chelcias, and Achicam the son of Saphan, and Abdom the son of Michaias, and Saphan the scribe, and Asia the servant of the king, saying,
21 E hele oukou e ninau ia Iehova no'u, a no ke koena o ka Iseraela a me ka Iuda, no na olelo o ka buke i loaa iho nei; no ka mea, ua nui ka huhu o Iehova i niniuiia maluna o kakou, no ka mea, aole i malama ko kakou poe kupuna i ka olelo a Iehova, e hana e like me na mea a pau i kakauia iloko o keia buke.
Go, enquire of the Lord for me, and for every one that is left in Israel and Juda, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord [which] has been kindled amongst us, because our fathers have not hearkened to the words of the Lord, to do according to all the things written in this book.
22 Alaila, hele o Hilikia, a me ka poe i waeia e ke alii, io Huleda la ke kaula wahine, ka wahine a Saluma ke keiki a Tikevata, ke keiki a Hasera ka mea malama kapa; (ua noho ia ma kela hapa o Ierusalema; ) a olelo aku la lakou ia ia e like me ia.
And Chelcias went, and [the others] whom the king told, to Olda the prophetess, the wife of Sellem son of Thecoe, son of Aras, who kept the commandments; and she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second [quarter]: and they spoke to her accordingly.
23 A i mai la oia ia lakou, Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, E olelo aku oukou i ke kanaka nana oukou i hoouna mai io'u nei,
And she said to them, Thus has the Lord God of Israel said, Tell the man who sent you to me,
24 Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova, Aia hoi, e lawe mai auanei au i ka ino maluna o keia wahi, a maluna o ko onei poe kanaka, i na mea hoopoino a pau i kakauia iloko o ka buke a lakou i heluhelu ai imua i ke alo o ke alii o ka Iuda.
Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I bring evil upon this place, [even] all the words that are written in the book that was read before the king of Juda:
25 No ka mea, ua haalele lakou ia'u, a ua kuni i ka mea ala i na akua e, i hoonaukiuki mni lakou ia'u ma na hana a pau a ko lakou mau lima; no ia mea, e nininiia auanei ko'u huhu maluna o keia wahi, aole hoi e pio ia.
because they have forsaken me, and burnt incense to strange gods, that they might provoke me by all the works of their hands; and my wrath is kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.
26 A no ke alii o Iuda ka mea nana oukou i hoouna mai e ninau ia Iehova, e olelo aku oukou ia ia, Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, no na olelo au i lohe ai;
And concerning the king of Juda, who sent you to seek the Lord, —thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, [As for] the words which thou has heard,
27 No ka mea, he naau palupalu kou, a ua hoohaahaa oe ia oe iho imua i ke alo o ke Akua i kou lohe ana i kana olelo ku e i keia wahi, a i ko onei poe kanaka, a hoohaahaa oe ia oe iho imua o'u, a ua haehae i kou kapa me ka uwe ana imua o'u; nolaila, ua lohe no au ia oe, wahi a Iehova.
forasmuch as thy heart was ashamed, and thou was humbled before me when thou heardest my words against this place, and against the inhabitants of it, and thou wast humbled before me, and didst rend thy garments, and didst weep before me; I also have heard, saith the Lord.
28 Aia hoi, e hui au ia oe me kou poe kupuna, a e huiia'ku oe ma kou ilina me ka maluhia, aole e ike kou mau maka i ka ino a pau a'u e lawe mai ai maluna o keia wahi, a maluna o ko onei poe kanaka. A lawe lakou ia olelo i ke alii.
Behold, I [will] gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, and thine eyes shall not look upon all the evils which I am bringing upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of it. And they brought back word to the king.
29 Alaila, hoouna aku la ke alii, a houluulu i na luna kahiko a pau o Iuda a me Ierusalema.
And the king sent and gathered the elders of Juda and Jerusalem.
30 A pii aku la ke alii iloko o ka hale o Iehova, a me ka Iuda a pau, a me ko Ierusalema, a me ka poe kahuna, a me na Levi, a me na kanaka a pau, ka poe nui, a me ka poe liilii; a heluhelu oia iloko o ko lakou pepeiao i na olelo a pau o ka buke o ka berita, ka mea i loaa iloko o ka hale o Iehova.
And the king went up to the house of the Lord, [he] and all Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that were found in the house of the Lord.
31 A ku ae la iluna ke alii ma kona awai, a hana i berita imua o Iehova, e hele mamuli o Iehova, e malama i kona kanawai, a me kana mau kauoha, a me kona kapu, me kona naau a pau, a me kona uhane a pau, e haua i na mea o ka borita, na mea i kakauia iloko o keia buke.
And the king stood at a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk before the Lord, to keep his commandments and testimonies, and his ordinances, with all [his] heart and with all [his] soul, so as to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.
32 A koi aku oia i ka poe a pau i noho ma Ierusalema, a me Beniamina e hana pela. A hana ko Ierusalema e like me ka borita a ke Akua, ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna.
And he caused all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand; and the inhabitants of Jerusalem made a covenant in the house of the Lord God of their fathers.
33 A kiola o Iosia i na mea i hoopailuaia a pau mai na aina aku a pau, no ka poe mamo a Iseraela, a koi aku ia i na mea a pau ma Iseraela e hookauwa aku na Iehova ko lakou Akua. A i kona mau la a pau, aole lakou i haalele i ka hele ana mamuli o Iehova ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna.
And Josias removed all the abominations out of the whole land which belonged to the children of Israel, and caused all that were found in Jerusalem and in Israel, to serve the Lord their God all his days: he departed not from following the Lord God of his fathers.
