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.
So the king sent messengers who gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of 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.
Then 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, prophets, and all the people, from small to great. He then read in their hearing all the words of the book of the Covenant that 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.
The king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before Yahweh, to walk after Yahweh and to keep his commandments, his regulations, and his statutes, with all his heart and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book. So all the people agreed to stand by 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.
The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the priests under him, and the gatekeepers to bring out of the temple of Yahweh all the vessels that were made for Baal and Asherah, and for all the stars of heaven. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields in the Kidron Valley and carried 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 got rid of the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had chosen to burn incense at the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places around Jerusalem—those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and the moon, to the planets, and to all the stars 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 brought out the Asherah pole from the temple of Yahweh, outside Jerusalem to the Kidron Valley and burned it there. He beat it to dust and threw that dust onto the graves of the common 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 cleared out the rooms of the cultic prostitutes who were in the temple of Yahweh, where the women wove garments for 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 all the priests out of the cities of Judah and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba. He destroyed the high places at the gates that were at the entrance to the gate of Joshua (the city governor), on the left side of the city 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.
Although the priests of those high places were not allowed to serve at the altar of Yahweh in Jerusalem, they ate unleavened bread among their brothers.
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.
Josiah defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, so that no one might cause his son or his daughter to pass through the fire as a sacrifice 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 took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun. They had been in an area at the entrance to the temple of Yahweh, near the room of Nathan-Melek, the chamberlain. Josiah burned the chariots of 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.
Josiah the king destroyed the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars that Manasseh had made in the two courts of the temple of Yahweh. Josiah smashed them into pieces and threw them into 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 ruined the high places east of Jerusalem, south of the mount of corruption that Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth, the detestable idol of the Sidonians; for Chemosh, the detestable idol of Moab; and for Molech, the detestable idol of the people of Ammon.
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 broke the stone pillars into pieces and cut down the Asherah poles and he filled those places with the bones of human beings.
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.
Josiah also completely destroyed the altar that was at Bethel and the high place that Jeroboam son of Nebat (the one who made Israel to sin) had constructed. He also burned that altar and the high place and beat it to dust. He also 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 over the area, he noticed the graves that were on the hillside. He sent men to take the bones from the graves; then he burned them on the altar, which defiled it. This was according to the word of Yahweh which the man of God had spoken, the man who spoke of these things beforehand.
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 said, “What monument is that I see?” The men of the city told him, “That is the grave of the man of God who came from Judah and spoke about these things that you have just done against 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.
So Josiah said, “Let it alone. No one should move his bones.” So they let his bones alone, along with the bones of the prophet who had come 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.
Then Josiah removed all the houses on the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made, and that provoked Yahweh to anger. He did to them exactly what had been done at 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.
He slaughtered all the priests of the high places on the altars and he 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.
Then the king commanded all the people, saying, “Keep the Passover to Yahweh your God, as it 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.
Such a Passover celebration had never been held from the days of the judges who ruled Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel or 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 of Yahweh was celebrated 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.
Josiah also banished those who talked with the dead or with spirits. He also banished the fetishes, the idols, and all the disgusting things that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, so as to 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.
Before Josiah, there had been no king like him, who turned to Yahweh with all his heart, all his soul, and all his might, who followed all the law of Moses. Nor did any king like Josiah arise after 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.
Nevertheless, Yahweh did not turn away from the burning of his fierce anger, which burned against Judah because of all that Manasseh had done to provoke him to anger.
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, “I will also remove Judah out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will throw away this city that I have chosen, Jerusalem, and the house of 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.
As for the other matters concerning Josiah, everything that he did, are they not written in the book of the events 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, Pharaoh Necho, king of Egypt, went to fight against the king of Assyria at the Euphrates River. King Josiah went to meet Necho in battle, and Necho killed him at Megiddo.
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.
Josiah's servants carried him dead in a chariot from Megiddo, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own grave. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him king in his father's place.
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 years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal; she was the 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.
Jehoahaz did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, like everything that his ancestors 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 Necho put him in chains at Riblah in the land of Hamath, so that he might not reign in Jerusalem. Then Necho fined Judah one hundred talents of silver and one 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 Necho made Eliakim son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz away to Egypt, and Jehoahaz 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.
Jehoiakim paid the silver and gold to Pharaoh. In order to meet the demand of Pharaoh, Jehoikim taxed the land and he forced each man among the people of the land to pay him the silver and gold according to their assessments.
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 years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zebidah; she was the 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.
Jehoiakim did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, just as his ancestors had done.
