< II Na Lii 22 >
1 E WALU na makahiki o Iosia, i kona lilo ana i alii, a he kanakolukumamakahi na makahiki ana i noho alii ai ma Ierusalema. A o Iedida ka inoa o kona makuwahine, he kaikamahine a Adaia no Bosekata.
Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. His mother’s name was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah; she was from Bozkath.
2 A hana pono aku la ia imua o Iehova, a hele no ia ma na aoao o Davida kona kupuna, aole ia i huli ae ma ka akau, aole ma ka hema.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and walked in all the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right or to the left.
3 A i ka makahiki umikumamawalu o Iosia ke alii, hoouna aku la ke alii ia Sapana ke keiki a Azalia, ke keiki a Mesulama, ke kakauolelo, i ka hale o Iehova, i aku la,
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah sent the scribe, Shaphan son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, to the house of the LORD, saying,
4 E pii aku oe ia Hilekia ke kahuna nui, a nana e helu ke kala i laweia mai iloko o ka hale o Iehova, ka mea a ka poe kiai i ka paepae puka i hoiliili ae na na kanaka mai.
“Go up to Hilkiah the high priest and have him count the money that has been brought into the house of the LORD, which the doorkeepers have collected from the people.
5 A e haawi aku lakou ia mea i ka lima o ka poe hana i ka hana, i ka poe luna hoi o ka hale o Iehova, a e haawi aku hoi lakou i ka poe hana i ka hana maloko o ka hale o Iehova, no ka hana hou i kahi naha o ka hale.
And let them deliver it into the hands of the supervisors of those doing the work on the house of the LORD, who in turn are to give it to the workmen repairing the damages to the house of the LORD—
6 A i na kamana, a i ka poe kukulu, a i ka poe hahao pohaku, a me ke kuai laau a me na pohaku i kalaiia no ka hana hou i ka hale.
to the carpenters, builders, and masons—to buy timber and dressed stone to repair the temple.
7 Aka, aole i helu pu ia me lakou ke kala i haawiia i ko lakou lima, no ka mea, ma ka pono ka lakou hana ana.
But they need not account for the money put into their hands, since they work with integrity.”
8 I aku la o Hilekia ke kahuna nui ia Sapana ke kakauolelo, Ua loaa ia'u ka buke o ke kanawai ma ka hale o Iehova. A haawi aku la o Hilekia i ka buke ia Sapana, a heluhelu no kela ia mea.
Then Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the LORD!” And he gave it to Shaphan, who read it.
9 A hele aku la o Sapana ke kakauolelo i ke alii, a hai aku i ka olelo i ke alii, i aku la, Ua ninini kau mau kauwa i ke kala i loaa iloko o ka hale, a ua haawi aku ia mea i ka poe hana i ka hana, i na luna o ka hale o Iehova.
And Shaphan the scribe went to the king and reported, “Your servants have paid out the money that was found in the temple and have put it into the hands of the workers and supervisors of the house of the LORD.”
10 A hai aku la o Sapana, ke kakauolelo i ke alii, i aku la, O Hilekia ke kahuna, ua haawi mai ia'u i buke. A heluhelu iho la o Sapana ia mea imua o ke alii.
Moreover, Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read it in the presence of the king.
11 A lohe ke alii i ka olelo a ka buke o ke kanawai, haehae iho la ia i kona aahu.
When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his clothes
12 A kauoha aku la ke alii ia Hilekia ke kahuna, a ia Ahikama, ke keiki a Sapana, a ia Akebora ke keiki a Mikaia, a ia Sapana ke kakauolelo, a ia Asakia, ke kauwa a ke alii, i aku la,
and commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Achbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of the king:
13 E hele oukou, a e ninau aku ia Iehova no'u, a no na kanaka, a no ka Iuda a pau, i na olelo o keia buke i loaa; no ka mea, ua nui ka inaina o Iehova i hoaia no kakou, i ka hoolohe ole o ko kakou poe makua i na olelo o keia buke, e hana like me na mea a pau i kakauia no kakou.
“Go and inquire of the LORD for me, for the people, and for all Judah concerning the words in this book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the LORD that burns against us because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book by doing all that is written about us.”
14 A hele aku la o Hilekia ke kahuna, a me Ahikama, a me Akebora, a me Sapana, a me Asakia, io Huleda la ke kaula wahine, ka wahine a Saluma, ke keiki a Tikeva, ke keiki a Harehasa, nana i malama i na aahu; (a e noho ana ua wahine la ma Ierusalema, ma kekahi hapa, ) a kamailio pu lakou me ia.
So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went and spoke to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, the keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the Second District.
15 I mai la kela ia lakou, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela peneia, E olelo aku oukou i ke kanaka, nana oukou i hoouna mai io'u nei,
And Huldah said to them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Tell the man who sent you
16 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, Aia hoi, e lawe mai ana au i ka ino maluna o keia wahi, a maluna o kona poe kanaka, i na mea a pau o ka buke a ke alii o ka Iuda i heluhelu ai:
that this is what the LORD says: I am about to bring calamity on this place and on its people, according to all the words of the book that the king of Judah has read,
17 No ka mea, ua haalele lakou ia'u, a na kuni i ka mea ala i na akua e, i hoonaukiuki ai lakou ia'u, ma na hana a pau a ko lakou lima; nolaila, e hoaia ko'u inaina i keia wahi, aole ia e pio.
because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. My wrath will be kindled against this place and will not be quenched.’
18 Aka, i ke alii o ka Iuda, nana oukou i hoouna mai nei e ninau ia Iehova, peneia oukou e olelo aku ai ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela peneia, no na olelo au i lohe ai;
But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘As for the words that you heard,
19 No ka mea, ua akahai kou naau, a ua hoohaahaa oe ia oe iho imua o Iehova i ka wa i lohe ai oe i ka mea a'u i olelo ai no keia wahi, a me kona poe kanaka, i lilo ai lakou i mea kahahaia, a i mea hoinoia, a ua haehae oe i kou aahu, a ua auwe oe imua o'u; owau hoi ka i hoolohe, wahi a Iehova.
because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its people, that they would become a desolation and a curse, and because you have torn your clothes and wept before Me, I have heard you,’ declares the LORD.
20 Nolaila hoi e hui pu aku au ia oe me kou poe kupuna, a ma kou halelua oe e huiia'i me ka malu; aole hoi e ike kou mau maka i ka ino a pau a'u e lawe mai ai maluna o keia wahi. A hai aku la lakou i ke alii i ka olelo.
‘Therefore I will indeed gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the calamity that I will bring on this place.’” So they brought her answer back to the king.
