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.
Eight years old, was Josiah when he begun to reign, —and, thirty-one years, reigned he 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 eyes of Yahweh, —and walked in the ways of David his father, 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, he, being yet a boy, he began to seek unto the God of David his father, -and, in the twelfth year, he began to purify Judah and Jerusalem, from the high places and the Sacred Stems, 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 threw down before him, the altars of the Baalim, and, the sun-pillars which were on high above them, he hewed down, —and, the Sacred Stems and the carved images and the molten images, brake he in pieces and ground to dust, and tossed over the face of the graves, of them who had been sacrificing unto 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, the bones of the priests, burned he upon their altars, —and so purified 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.
also throughout the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even as far as Naphtali, —searched he their houses, round about.
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, when he had thrown down the altars and the Sacred Stems, and, the images, he had beaten to powder, and, the sun-pillars, he had hewn down throughout all the land of Israel, then returned he 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, when he had purified the land and the house, he sent Shaphan son of Azaliah and Maaseiah the ruler of the city and Joah son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of Yahweh 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.
So they went in unto Hilkiah the high priest, and delivered the silver that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the entrance-hall had collected from the hand of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah and Benjamin, —and returned to 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 the overseers in the house of Yahweh, delivered it into the hand of the doer of the work, —yea they delivered it to the doers of the work, because they were working in the house of Yahweh, in searching and repairing 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.
yea they delivered it to the artificers and to the builders, to buy carved stones and timbers for the joinings, —and to build up the houses which 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.
Now, the men, were working faithfully in the work, and over them as overseers, were—Jahath and Obadiah, Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to preside, —and Levites, all who had understanding in 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.
also over the burden-bearers, and such as took the lead, for everyone who was working in any manner of service, —and, of the Levites, were scribes and officers and doorkeepers.
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.
Now, as they were taking out the silver which had been brought into the house of Yahweh, Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of Yahweh, 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.
Then spake up Hilkiah, and said unto Shaphan the scribe, The Book of the Law, have I found, in the house of Yahweh, —and Hilkiah gave the book unto 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.
Then Shaphan took in the book unto the king, and returned yet further unto the king a message, saying, —All that was delivered into the hand of thy 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 have poured out the silver, that was found in the house of Yahweh, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of the doers of 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.
Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, A book, hath Hilkiah the priest given to me. And Shaphan, read therein, 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 clothes.
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,
Then did the king command 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, enquire of Yahweh for me, and for the remnant in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book which hath been found, —for great is the wrath of Yahweh, which hath been poured out upon us, because our fathers, kept not, the word of Yahweh, to do according to all that is 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.
So Hilkiah and they whom the king had named went into Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum son of Tokhath son of Hasrah keeper of the wardrobe, she, having her dwelling in Jerusalem, in the new city, —and they spake unto 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 unto them, Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, —Say ye unto the man who hath sent you unto 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 Yahweh, Behold me bringing in calamity upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, -even all the curses that are written in the book which they have 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 they have forsaken me, and burned incense unto other gods, so as to provoke me to anger, with all the works of their hands, therefore hath my wrath been poured out upon this place, and 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;
But, unto the king of Judah, who hath sent you to enquire of Yahweh, thus, shall ye say unto him, —Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast 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 tender was thy heart, and thou didst humble thyself before God when thou heardest his words against this place and against the inhabitants thereof, and didst humble thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes and weep before me, therefore, I also, have heard, is the declaration of Yahweh.
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 me! gathering thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered unto thy sepulchres in peace, and thine eyes shall not look upon all the calamity which, I, am bringing in upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof. And they returned, unto the king, the message.
29 Alaila, hoouna aku la ke alii, a houluulu i na luna kahiko a pau o Iuda a me Ierusalema.
Then the king sent, —and gathered together all the elders 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 went up to the house of Yahweh—and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem—and the priests and the Levites, and all the people, from the great even unto the small, —and he read in their ears, all the words of the book of the covenant, which had been found in the house of Yahweh.
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 in his place, and solemnised the covenant before Yahweh, to walk after Yahweh, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes, with all his heart and with all his soul, —to perform the words of the covenant that are 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 to take a stand, all that were present in Jerusalem, and Benjamin, —and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did 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 removed all the abominations, out of all the lands which belonged to the sons of Israel, and caused all that were present in Jerusalem to serve, yea to serve, Yahweh their God, —all his days, turned they not aside from following Yahweh, God of their fathers.
