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.
The king sent, and they 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.
The king went up to Yahweh’s house, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him—with the priests, the prophets, and all the people, both small and great; and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in Yahweh’s house.
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 testimonies, and his statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book; and all the people agreed to 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, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out of Yahweh’s temple all the vessels that were made for Baal, for the Asherah, and for all the army of the sky; and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, 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 ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places around Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, to the moon, to the planets, and to all the army of the sky.
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 from Yahweh’s house, outside of Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on 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 broke down the houses of the male shrine prostitutes that were in Yahweh’s house, where the women wove hangings 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.
He 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; and he broke 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 a man’s left hand at 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.
Nevertheless the priests of the high places didn’t come up to Yahweh’s altar in Jerusalem, but 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.
He defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through 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 took away the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun, at the entrance of Yahweh’s house, by the room of Nathan Melech the officer who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun 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.
The king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of Yahweh’s house, and beat them down from there, and cast their dust into the brook Kidron.
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 defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children 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 in pieces the pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and filled their places with men’s 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 the altar that was at Bethel and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.
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 turned himself, he spied the tombs that were there in the mountain; and he sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burned them on the altar, and defiled it, according to Yahweh’s word 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 he said, “What monument is that which I see?” The men of the city told him, “It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things that you have 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.
He said, “Let him be! Let no one move his bones.” So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came 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.
All the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke Yahweh to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that 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.
He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burned men’s bones on them; and 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 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.
Surely there was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of 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 kept to 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, Josiah removed those who had familiar spirits, the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in Yahweh’s house.
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.
There was no king like him before him, who turned to Yahweh with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; and there was none like him who arose 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.
Notwithstanding, Yahweh didn’t turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocation with which 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.
Yahweh said, “I will also remove Judah out of my sight, as I have removed Israel; and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I 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 acts of Josiah, and all that he did, aren’t they 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 Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and King Josiah went against him, but Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo when 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.
His servants carried him dead in a chariot from Megiddo, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and 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 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.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, 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.
Pharaoh Necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to 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 Necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim; but he took Jehoahaz away, and he came to 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.
Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh. He exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, from everyone according to his assessment, to 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.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zebidah 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.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, according to all that his fathers had done.
