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 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.
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, and walked in the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn away 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.
For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, the Asherah poles, the engraved 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.
They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; and he cut down the incense altars that were on high above them. He broke the Asherah poles, the engraved images, and the molten images in pieces, made dust of them, and scattered it on the graves 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;
He burned the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged 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.
He did this in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, around in their ruins.
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.
He broke down the altars, beat the Asherah poles and the engraved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel, then 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.
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the 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.
They came to Hilkiah the high priest and delivered the money that was brought into God’s house, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had gathered from the hands of Manasseh, Ephraim, of all the remnant of Israel, of all Judah and Benjamin, and of 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.
They delivered it into the hands of the workmen who had the oversight of the LORD’s house; and the workmen who labored in the LORD’s house gave it to mend and repair 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 to the carpenters and to the builders to buy cut stone and timber for couplings, and to make beams for 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.
The men did the work faithfully. Their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to give direction; and others of the Levites, who were all skillful with 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.
Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and directed all who did the work in every kind of service. Of the Levites, there were scribes, officials, 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.
When they brought out the money that was brought into the LORD’s house, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the LORD’s law given by 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.
Hilkiah answered Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the LORD’s house.” So Hilkiah delivered the book 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.
Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought back word to the king, saying, “All that was committed to 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.
They have emptied out the money that was found in the LORD’s house, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers and into the hand of the workmen.”
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.
Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book.” Shaphan read from it to the king.
19 A lohe ae la ke alii i na olelo o ke kanawai, haehae iho la ia i kona kapa.
When the king had heard the words of the law, he tore 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,
The king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, 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 inquire of the LORD for me, and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the LORD’s wrath that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the LORD’s word, 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 those whom the king had commanded went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter), and they spoke to her to that effect.
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,
She said to them, “The LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘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.
“The LORD says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on this place and on its inhabitants, 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 have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands, therefore my wrath is poured out on this place, and it will 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 to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, you shall tell him this, ‘The LORD, the God of Israel says: “About the words which 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 was tender, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this place and against its inhabitants, and have humbled yourself before me, and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you,” says 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 you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes won’t see all the evil that I will bring on this place and on its inhabitants.”’” They brought back this message to the king.
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.
The king went up to the LORD’s house with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem—the priests, the Levites, and all the people, both great and small—and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the LORD’s house.
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.
The king stood in his place and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, his testimonies, and his statutes with all his heart and with all his soul, 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.
He caused all who were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand. 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.
Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that belonged to the children of Israel, and made all who were found in Israel to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. All his days they didn’t depart from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
