II Na Lii 23
1 A HOOUNA aku la ke alii, a hoakoakoa lakou io na la i na lunakahiko a pau o ka Iuda a me Ierusalema.
Then the king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
2 A pii ae la ke alii i ka hale o Iehova, a o na kanaka a pau o ka Iuda, a me na kanaka a pau o Ierusalema me ia, o na kahuna, a me na kaula, a me na kanaka a pau, ka mea uuku, a me ka mea nui: a heluhelu no ia iloko o ko lakou pepeiao i na olelo a pau o ka buke o ke kanawai i loaa ma ka hale o Iehova.
He went to the Lord's Temple with all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, together with the priests and the Levites, all the people from the least to the greatest, and he read to them the whole Book of the Agreement that had been discovered in the Lord's Temple.
3 A ku iho la ke alii maluna o ka awai, a hana no ia i berita imua o Iehova, e hahai mamuli o Iehova, a e malama i kana mau kauoha, a me kana olelo hoike, a me kona mau kanawai, me ka naau a pau, a me ka uhane a pau, e hookupaa i ka olelo o keia berita i kakauia ma keia buke. A kupaa na kanaka a pau ma ka berita.
The king stood by the pillar and made a solemn agreement before the Lord to follow him and to keep his commandments, laws, and regulations with total dedication, and to observe the requirements of the agreement as written in the book. All the people entered into the agreement.
4 A kauoha aku la ke alii ia Hilekia ke kahuna nui a me na kahuna no ka lua o ka papa, a me na kiaipuka, e lawe mai iwaho o ka luakini o Iehova i na kiaha i hanaia no Baala, a no Aseterota, a no na puali o ka lani: a puhi aku la oia ia lakou mawaho o Ierusalema a ma na kihapai o Kederona, a lawe aku la i ka lehu o lakou i Betela.
Then the king ordered Hilkiah the high priest, the priests of second rank, and the doorkeepers to remove from the Lord's Temple everything made for Baal, Asherah, and the worship of sun, moon, and stars. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the Kidron fields and took their ashes to Bethel.
5 A hooki iho la ia i na kahuna hoomanakii a na'lii o ka Iuda i hoonoho ai, i mea e Irani ai i ka mea ala ma na heiau ma na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, a ma na wahi e puni ana i Ierusalema; i ka poe kuni i ka mea ala ia Baala, i ka la, i ka mahina. a i ka poe hoku o ke kaei, a i na puali a pau o ka lani.
He also dismissed the priests appointed by the kings of Judah to present burnt offerings on the high places of the towns of Judah and in the places all around Jerusalem, those who had sacrificed to Baal, to the sun and moon, to the constellations, and to all the powers of heaven.
6 A lawe aku la ia i na kii o Aseterota mai ka hale o Iehova aku mawaho o Ierusalema ma ke kahawai o Kederona, a puhi aku la ia mea ma ke kahawai o Kederona, a kui iho la a aeae me he lepo la, a hoolei aku la i kona lepo maluna o na luakupapau o na kanaka.
He removed the Asherah pole from the Lord's Temple and took it to the Kidron Valley outside Jerusalem. He burned it there, ground it into dust, and threw its dust over the graves of the ordinary people.
7 A wawahi iho la ia i na hale o ka poe sodomi e kokoke ana ma ka hale o Iehova, kahi a ka poe wahine hana lole i hana'i i na halelewa no na kii o Aseterota.
He also demolished the quarters of the cult prostitutes that were in the Lord's Temple, where the women used to weave tapestries for the Asherah.
8 A lawe mai no ia i na kahuna a pau mai na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda mai, a hoohaumia i na heiau kahi a na kahuna i kuni ai i ka mea ala, mai Geba mai a i Beereseba, a wawahi aku la i na heiau o na ipuka ma ke komo aua o ka ipuka o Iehosua, ka luna o ke kulanakauhale, i na mea ma ka lima hema o ka ipuka o ke kulanakauhale.
Josiah brought to Jerusalem all the priests from the towns of Judah and defiled the high places, from Geba to Beersheba, where the priests had sacrificed burnt offerings. He demolished the high places of the gates, near to the entrance of the gate of Joshua, the governor of the city, which was left of the town gate.
9 Aka, aole i pii mai na kahuna o na heiau i ke kuahu o Iehova, aka, ai no lakou i ka berena huole me ko lakou poe hoahanau.
Though the priests of the high places did not serve at the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, they did eat unleavened bread with their brother priests.
10 A hoohaumia no ia i Topeta, aia no ia ma ke awawa o na keiki a Hinoma, i ole ai e hoohele aku kekahi kanaka i kana keikikane a i kana kaikamahine iloko o ke ahi no Moleka.
He defiled the Topheth altar in the Valley of Ben-hinnom so that no one could sacrifice his son or daughter in the fire to Molech.
11 A lawe aku ia i na lio, i na mea a na'lii o ka Iuda i kukulu ai no ka la, ma ke komo ana i ka hale o Iehova ma ke keena maluna o Natanemeleka, ka lunahale, ka mea ma na wahi e pili ana, a puhi aku la i ke ahi i na halekaa no ka la.
He removed the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun from the entrance to the Lord's Temple. They were in the courtyard near the room of a eunuch named Nathan-melech. Josiah also burned the chariots dedicated to the sun.
12 A o na kuahu maluna ma ke keena iluna o ka hale o Ahaza, na mea a na'lii o ka Iuda i hana'i, a me na kuahu a Manase i hana'i ma na kahua elua o ka hale o Iehova, oia ka ke alii i luku ai, a wawahi iho mai laila mai, a hoolei aku la i ko lakou lepo iloko o ke kahawai o Kederona.
He demolished the altars that the kings of Judah had set up on the roof near the upper chamber of Ahaz, and the altars Manasseh had placed in the two courtyards of the Lord's Temple. The king smashed them to pieces and scattered them in the Kidron Valley.
13 A o na heiau imua o Ierusalema, ma ka lima akau o ka mauna make, na mea a Solomona ke alii o ka Iseraela i hana'i no Aseterota, ka mea hoopailua o ko Zidona, a no Kemosa, ka mea hoopailua o ka Moaba, a no Milekoma, ka mea hoopailua o na mamo a Amona, oia ka ke alii i hoohaumia ai.
The king also defiled the high places to the east of Jerusalem, to the south of the Mount of Corruption, the places which King Solomon of Israel had built for Ashtoreth, the vile goddess of the Sidonians, for Chemosh, the vile god of the Moabites, and for Molech, the vile god of the Ammonites.
14 A wawahi iho la ia i na kii, a kua ilalo i na kii o Aseterota, a hoopiha i ko lakou mau wahi i na iwi kanaka.
He smashed the sacred stone pillars to pieces, chopped down the Asherah poles, and covered the places with human bones.
15 A o ke kuahu hoi ma Betela, a o ka heiau a Ieroboama i hana'i, a ke keiki a Nebata, nana i hoolilo ka Iseraela i ka hewa, o ua kuahu la, a me ka heiau, oia kana i wawahi ai, a puhi aku i ka heiau, a kui iho la a aeae me he lepo la, a puhi aku la i na kii o Aseterota.
He also demolished the altar at Bethel, the high place set up by Jeroboam, son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin. Then he burned the high place, ground it to dust, and burned the Asherah pole.
16 Huli ae la o Iosia, a ike aku la i na halelua malaila ma ka puu, a hoouna aku la, a lawe mai i na iwi mai na halelua mai, a puhi aku la maluna o ke kuahu, a hoohaumia iho la ia mea e like me ka olelo a Iehova, ka mea a ke kanaka o ke Akua i hai mai, nana i hai mai keia mau olelo.
As Josiah looked around he saw some tombs there on the hill. He had the bones taken from the tombs, and he burned them on the altar to defile it, just as the Lord had said through the man of God who had prophesied these things.
17 A ninau aku la ia, Heaha keia kia a'u e ike nei? I mai la na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale ia ia, O ka halelua ia o ke kanaka o ke Akua, ka mea i hele mai Iuda mai, a hai mai i keia mau mea au i hana'i i ke kuahu o Betela.
Then he asked, “Whose gravestone is this that I see?” “It's the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed exactly what you have done to the altar of Bethel,” the townspeople replied.
18 A i aku la ia, E waiho malie ia ia, mai lawelawe kekahi kanaka i kona mau iwi. A hoopakele lakou i kona mau iwi me na iwi o ke kaula, ka mea i hele ae mai Samaria mai.
“Let him rest in peace,” said Josiah. “Don't anyone touch his bones.” So they left his bones undisturbed, together with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria.
19 A o na hale a pau o na heiau ma na kulanakauhale o Samaria, na mea a na'lii o ka Iseraela i hana'i e hoonaukiuki aku, oia ka Iosia i lawe aku ai, a hana ia lakou e like me na hana a pau ana i hana aku ai ma Betela.
Josiah destroyed, just as he did at Bethel, all the shrines of the high places in the towns of Samaria that the kings of Israel had built that had angered the Lord.
20 A kaumaha aku la ia i na kahuna o na heiau, i ka poe malaila, maluna o na kuahu, a puhi aku la i na iwi kanaka maluna o lakou, a hoi aku la i Ierusalema.
Josiah slaughtered all the priests who were there at the high places on the altars, and burned human bones on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
21 Kauoha aku la ke alii i na kanaka a pau, i aku la, E malama oukou i ka moliaola no Iehova ko oukou Akua, e like me ka mea i kakauia ma ka buke o keia kanawai.
The king sent out an order to all the people, “Observe the Passover of the Lord your God, as it is written in this Book of the Agreement.”
22 No ia mea, aole i malamaia ka moliaola e like me keia mai ka manawa mai o na lunakanawai, nana i hooponopono ka Iseraela, aole hoi i ka manawa a pau o na'lii o ka Iseraela, a me na'lii o ka Iuda.
Such a Passover as this had not been observed from the days of the judges who ruled Israel on through all the days of the kings of Israel and Judah.
23 I ka makahiki umikumamawalu o Iosia ke alii, ua malamaia keia moliaola no Iehova ma Ierusalema.
But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was observed to honor the Lord in Jerusalem.
24 A o na wahiue ninau i na uhane ino, a me ka poe anaana, a me na kii, a me na kii laau, a o na mea hoopailua a pau, na mea i ikeia ma ka aina o ka Iuda, a ma Ierusalema, oia mau mea ka Iosia i lawe aku, i hooko ai oia i na olelo o ke kanawai i kakauia ma ka buke i loaa ia Hilekia ke kahuna ma ka hale o Iehova.
In addition, Josiah got rid of the mediums and spiritists, the household gods and idols, and all the disgusting practices that were present in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. He did this to fulfill the words of the law written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had found in the Lord's Temple.
25 Aohe alii mamua ona e like ai me ia, nana i huli ae ia Iehova me kona naau a pau, a me kona uhane a pau, a me kona ikaika a pau mamuli o ke kanawai a pau o Mose; a mahope mai ona, aole i ku mai kekahi e like me ia.
Never before was there a king like him who committed himself to the Lord in all his thoughts and attitudes, and with all his strength, keeping all the Law of Moses. There was no king like him afterwards either.
26 Aka, aole o Iehova i huli ae mai kona inaina nui, ana i inaina ai i ka Iuda, no na hoonaukiuki a pau a Manase i hoonaukiuki aku ai ia ia.
However, the Lord had not given up his furious hostility, which burned against Judah because of all that Manasseh had done to anger him.
27 A i mai la o Iehova, E lawe aku hoi au i ka Iuda mai ko'u alo aku, e like me ka'u i lawe aku ai i ka Iseraela, a e hoowahawaha aku au i keia kulanakauhale o Ierusalema, kahi a'u i wae ai, a me ka hale a'u i olelo ai, Malaila ko'u inoa.
So the Lord announced, “I'm also going to banish Judah from my presence, just as I banished Israel. I will abandon this city that I have chosen, Jerusalem, and the Temple regarding which I said, My name will be there.”
28 A o na hana i koe a Iosia, a o na mea a pau ana i hana'i, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iuda.
The rest of what happened in Josiah's reign, and all he did, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
29 I kona manawa, pii ae la o Parao-neko, ke alii o Aigupita, e ku e i ke alii o Asuria ma ka muliwai o Euperate; a hele ku e aku la o Iosia ia ia: a pepehi mai kela ia ia ma Megido, i kona manawa i ike ai ia ia.
While Josiah was still king, Pharaoh Neco, king of Egypt, led his army to help the king of Assyria at the Euphrates River. King Josiah took his army to fight him at Megiddo, but when Neco saw Josiah he killed him.
30 A lawe aku la kana poe kauwa ia ia ua make ma ka halekaa mai Megido mai, a hali mai ia ia i Ierusalema, a kanu iho la ia ia iloko o kona halelua. A lawe aku la na kanaka o ka aina ia Iehoahaza ke keiki a Iosia, a poni ia ia, a hooalii ia ia ma ka hakahaka o kona makuakane.
His servants put his body in a chariot, brought him back from Megiddo to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. Then the people of the land chose Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him king in succession to his father.
31 He iwakaluakumamakolu na makahiki o Iehoahaza i kona wa i lilo ai i alii; a ekolu malama ana i noho alii ai ma Ierusalema. A o Hamutela ka inoa o kona makuwahine, ke kaikamahine a Ieremia no Libena.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah. She came from Libnah.
32 A hana hewa aku la ia imua o Iehova, e like me na mea a pau a kona poe kupuna i hana'i.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as all his forefathers had done.
33 A hoopaa aku la o Parao-neko ia ia ma Ribela i ka aina o Hamata, no kona noho alii ana ma Ierusalema; a auhau aku la i ka aina i hookahi haneri talena kala, a i hookahi talena gula.
Pharaoh Neco imprisoned Jehoahaz at Riblah in the land of Hamath to stop him ruling in Jerusalem. He also imposed on Judah a tribute of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
34 A hooalii aku la o Parao-neko ia Eliakima ke keiki a Iosia ma ka hakahaka o Iosia kona makuakane, a hoololi ae la i kona inoa i Iehoiakima, a lalau aku la oia ia Iehoahaza, a lawe aku la i Aigupita, a make iho la ia ilaila.
Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim, son of Josiah, king in succession to his father Josiah, and he changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Jehoahaz to Egypt, where he died.
35 A haawi aku la o Iehoiakima i ke kala a me ke gula ia Parao; a auhau aku la oia i ka aina e haawi aku ia e like me ke kauoha a Parao; auhau aku la ia i ke kala a me ke gula o na kanaka o ka aina, i kela kanaka keia kanaka, e like me kona auhauia'na, e haawi aku ia no Parao-neko.
Jehoiakim paid the silver and gold to Pharaoh Neco, but in order to meet Pharaoh's demand he taxed the land and required payment of the silver and the gold from the people, each in proportion to their wealth.
36 He iwakaluakumamalima na makahiki o Iehoiakima i kona wa i lilo ai i alii, a he umikumamakahi na makahiki ana i noho alii ai ma Ierusalema. A o Zebuda ka inoa o kona makuwahine, ke kaikamahine a Pedaia no Ruma.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother's name was Zebidah, daughter of Pedaiah She came from Rumah.
37 A hana ino aku la ia imua o Iehova, e like me na mea a pau a kona poe kupuna i hana'i.
He did evil in the Lord's sight, just as his forefathers had done.
