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 sent, —and there were gathered unto him, 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.
and the king went up to the house of Yahweh, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great, —and he read in their ears, all the words of the book of the covenant, which had been found in the house of Yahweh.
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.
And the king took his stand by the pillar, and solemnised a covenant before Yahweh—to follow Yahweh, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes, with all [their] heart and with all [their] soul, to confirm the words of this covenant, written in this book. And all the people took their stand in the covenant.
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 commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the entrance-hall, to bring forth, out of the temple of Yahweh, all the vessels that had been made for Baal and for the Sacred Stem, and for all the army of the heavens, —and he burned them up outside Jerusalem, in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them 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.
and he put down the idol-priests, whom the kings of Judah had appointed, so that incense might be burned in the high places, in the cities of Judah, and round about Jerusalem, —them also that burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the constellations, and to all the army of the heavens;
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.
and he brought forth the Sacred Stem out of the house of Yahweh, outside Jerusalem, into the Kidron ravine, and burned it in the Kidron ravine, and crushed it to powder, —and cast the powder upon the graves of the sons of the 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.
and he brake down the houses of the male devotees, which were in the house of Yahweh, —where the women did weave houses to the Sacred Stem;
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.
and be brought in all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where, the priests, had burned incense, from Geba unto Beer-sheba, —and brake down the high places of the gates, that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua, the governor of the city, which were on one’s left hand, in the gate of the city;
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.
howbeit, the priests of the high places came not up unto the altar of Yahweh, in Jerusalem, save only that they did eat unleavened bread in the midst of their brethren;
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.
and he defiled Topheth, which was in the valley of the son of Hinnom, —so that no man might cause his son or his daughter to pass through the fire unto 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.
and he did away with the horses, which the kings of Judah had devoted to the sun, at the entrance of the house of Yahweh, near the chamber of Nathan-melech the courtier, which was in the suburbs, also, the chariots of the sun, burned he with fire;
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.
and, the altars which were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, also the altars which Manasseh had made, in the two courts of the house of Yahweh, did the king break down, —and hurried away from thence, and cast out the powder of them into the Kidron ravine;
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.
and, the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of destruction, which Solomon king of Israel had built unto Ashtoreth—the abomination of the Zidonians, and unto Chemosh—the abomination of the Moabites, and unto Milcom—the disgusting thing of the sons of Ammon, did the king defile;
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.
and he brake in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Sacred Stems, —and filled their place 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.
moreover also, the altar that was in Bethel, the high place which Jeroboam son of Nebat made, wherewith he caused, Israel, to sin, —even that altar, and the high place, brake he down, —and burned the high place, crushing it to powder, and burned a Sacred Stem.
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.
And, when Josiah turned, and saw the graves which were there, in the mount, he sent and took the bones out of the graves, and burned upon the altar, and defiled it, —according to the word of Yahweh, which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed 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 said he—What is yonder erection, which I do see? And the men of the city said unto him—The grave of the man of God, who came in out of Judah, and proclaimed these things, which thou hast done, concerning the altar of Bethel.
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.
And he said—Let him rest, let, no man, disturb his bones. So they let his bones rest, with the bones of the prophet who came in out of 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.
Moreover also, all the houses of the high places which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made, so as to provoke Yahweh to anger, did Josiah remove, —and he did to them according to all the doings which he had done in Bethel;
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.
and he sacrificed all the priests of the high places, who were there, by the altars, and burned human bones thereupon, —and 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.
Then did the king command all the people, saying, Keep ye a passover unto Yahweh, your God, —such as is written in this book of the covenant.
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.
Surely there had not been held such a passover as this, from the days of the Judges who judged Israel, —nor all the days of the kings of Israel, and the kings of Judah;
23 I ka makahiki umikumamawalu o Iosia ke alii, ua malamaia keia moliaola no Iehova ma Ierusalema.
save only, in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, when this passover was held unto Yahweh, 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.
Moreover also, them who had familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the household gods, and the manufactured gods, and the abominations which were to be seen in the land of Judah, and in Jerusalem, did Josiah consume, —that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had found in the house of Yahweh.
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.
And, like him, was no king, before him, who turned unto Yahweh with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses, —neither, after him, arose one, like him.
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.
Howbeit, Yahweh turned not away from the glow of his great anger, wherewith his anger glowed against Judah—because of all the provocations wherewith, Manasseh, had provoked 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 Yahweh said: Even Judah, will I remove from my presence, as I have removed Israel, —and will reject this city, which I had chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house as to which I had said, My Name, shall 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.
Now, the rest of the story of Josiah, and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the 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.
In his days, came up Pharaoh-necoh king of Egypt, against the king of Assyria, unto the river Euphrates, —and, when King Josiah went against him, he slew him at Megiddo, as soon as he saw 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.
And his servants conveyed him in a chariot, dead, from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre, —and the people of the land took Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made, him, king, in his father’s stead.
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.
Twenty-three years old, was Jehoahaz when he began to reign, and, three months, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah, of 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.
And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his, fathers, 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.
And Pharaoh-necoh put him in bonds at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem, —and he laid a fine upon the land, a 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.
And Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim son of Josiah king, instead of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, —and, Jehoahaz, took he away, so he entered Egypt, and died there.
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.
And, the silver and the gold, did Jehoiakim give unto Pharaoh, howbeit he assessed the land, that he might give the silver at the bidding of Pharaoh, —every man, according to his assessment, exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, that he might give it to Pharaoh-necoh.
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.
Twenty-five years old, was Jehoiakim when he began to reign, and, eleven years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah, of 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.
And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that, his fathers, had done.
