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.
Josiah [is] a son of eight years in his reigning, and he has 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 does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, and walks in the ways of his father David, and has not turned aside [to] the right or 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 [is] yet a youth), he has begun to seek for the God of his father David, and in the twelfth year he has begun to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherim, and the carved images, 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 they break down the altars of the Ba‘alim before him, and he has cut down the images that [are] on high above them, and the Asherim, and the carved images, and the molten images, he has broken and beaten small, and strews [them] on the surface of the graves of those sacrificing 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 has burned the bones of the priests on their altars, and cleanses Judah 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 in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, with their tools, all around.
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 breaks down the altars and the Asherim, and he has beaten down the carved images very small, and he has cut down all the images in all the land of Israel, and turns back 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, to purify the land and the house, he has sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah head of the city, and Joah son of Johaz the remembrancer, to strengthen the house of his God YHWH.
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 come to Hilkiah the high priest, and they give the money that is brought into the house of God, that the Levites, keeping the threshold, have gathered from the hand of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah, and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of 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 give [it] into the hand of the workmen, those appointed over the house of YHWH, and they give it [to] the workmen who are working in the house of YHWH, to repair and to 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.
and they give [it] to craftsmen and to builders to buy hewn stones, and wood for couplings and for beams [for] the houses that the kings of Judah 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 are working faithfully in the business, and over them are appointed Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathite, to overlook; and of the Levites, everyone understanding about instruments of song,
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 over the burden-bearers, and overseers of everyone doing work for every service; and of the Levites [are] scribes, and officers, and gatekeepers.
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 in their bringing out the money that is brought into the house of YHWH, Hilkiah the priest has found the Scroll of the Law of YHWH 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 Hilkiah answers and says to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found [the] Scroll of the Law in the house of YHWH”; and Hilkiah gives the scroll to Shaphan,
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 Shaphan brings in the scroll to the king, and brings the king back word again, saying, “All that has been given into the hand of your servants they are doing,
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 pour out the money that is found in the house of YHWH, and give it into the hand of those appointed and into the hands of those doing 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 Shaphan the scribe declares [it] to the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has given a scroll to me”; and Shaphan reads in 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 comes to pass, at the king’s hearing the words of the Law, that he tears 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 commands Hilkiah, and Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Abdon son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah, 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, seek YHWH for me, and for him who is left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the scroll that is found, for great [is] the fury of YHWH that is poured on us, because that our fathers did not keep the word of YHWH to do according to all that is written on this scroll.”
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 Hilkiah goes, and they of the king, to Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum son of Tikvath, son of Hasrah, keeper of the garments, and she is dwelling in Jerusalem in the Second [Quarter], and they speak to her thus.
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 says to them, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Say to the man who has 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 said YHWH: Behold, I am bringing in calamity on this place and on its inhabitants, all the execrations that are written on the scroll that they read before the king of Judah,
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 that they have forsaken Me, and make incense to other gods, so as to provoke Me with all the works of their hands, and My fury is poured out on this place, and it is not 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 to the king of Judah who is sending you to inquire of YHWH, thus you say to him, Thus said YHWH God of Israel, whose words you have 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.
Because your heart [is] tender, and you are humbled before God in your hearing His words concerning this place and concerning its inhabitants, and are humbled before Me, and tear your garments, and weep before Me, indeed, I have also heard [you]—a declaration of YHWH.
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 am gathering you to your fathers, and you have been gathered to your graves in peace, and your eyes do not look on all the calamity that I am bringing on this place and on its inhabitants”; and they bring the king back word.
29 Alaila, hoouna aku la ke alii, a houluulu i na luna kahiko a pau o Iuda a me Ierusalema.
And the king sends and gathers all the elderly of Judah 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 goes up to the house of YHWH, and [to] every man of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, even all the people, from great even to small, and he reads in their ears all the words of the scroll of the covenant that is found in the house of YHWH.
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 stands on his station, and makes the covenant before YHWH to walk after YHWH, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all his heart and with all his soul, to do the words of the covenant that are written on this scroll.
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 presents everyone who is found in Jerusalem and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem do according to the covenant of God, the 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 Josiah turns aside all the abominations out of all the lands that the sons of Israel have, and causes everyone who is found in Israel to serve, to serve their God YHWH; all his days they did not turn aside from after YHWH, God of their fathers.
