2 Cronicas 34
1 Walo ti tawen ni Josias idi nangrugi isuna nga agturay; nagturay isuna iti 31 a tawen idiay Jerusalem.
Josiah was eight years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
2 Inaramidna ti nalinteg iti imatang ni Yahweh, ken nagbiag isuna a kas iti panagbiag ni David a kapuonanna, ken tinungpalna amin a bilin ti Dios.
And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, and he walked in the ways of his father David. He did not turn away, neither to the right, nor to the left.
3 Ta iti maikawalo a tawen iti panagturayna, idi agtutubo pay laeng isuna, rinugianannan ti agdaydayaw iti Dios ni David a kapuonanna. Iti maika-12 a tawen, rinugianna a dalusan ti Juda ken Jerusalem babaen iti panangdadaelna kadagiti disso a pagdaydayawan kadagiti didiosen, dagiti imahen ni Asera, dagiti nakitikitan a ladawan, ken dagiti nasukog a ladawan.
Now in the eighth year of his reign, when he was still a boy, he began to seek the God of his father David. And in the twelfth year after he had begun to reign, he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the sacred groves, and the idols, and the graven images.
4 Rinebba dagiti tattao dagiti altar ni Baal iti imatang ni Josias; tinumbana dagiti altar a pagpuoran kadagiti insenso nga adda iti ngatoen dagitoy. Binurakburakna dagiti imahen ni Asera ken dagiti nakitikitan a ladawan, ken dagiti nasukog a landok a ladawan agingga a nagbalin a tapok dagitoy. Inwarisna ti tapok kadagiti tanem dagiti nangidatdatag kadagiti daton kadakuada.
And in his sight, they destroyed the altars of the Baals, and they demolished the idols which had been set upon them. And then he cut down the sacred groves and crushed the graven images. And he scattered the fragments upon the tombs of those who had been accustomed to immolate to them.
5 Pinuoranna dagiti tultulang dagiti papadida kadagiti altar a nagdaydayawanda. Iti kastoy a wagas, dinalusanna ti Juda ken Jerusalem.
And after that, he burned the bones of the priests upon the altars of the idols. And so did he cleanse Judah and Jerusalem.
6 Kasta met laeng ti inaramidna kadagiti siudad iti Manases, Efraim, ken Simeon, agingga iti Neftali, ken kadagiti nadadael a paset iti aglawlaw dagitoy.
Then too, in the cities of Manasseh, and of Ephraim, and of Simeon, even to Naphtali, he overturned everything.
7 Rinebbana dagiti altar, binurakburakna dagiti imahen ni Asera ken dagiti nakitikitan a ladawan, ken binurakna dagiti altar a pagpuoran kadagiti insenso iti entero a daga ti Israel; kalpasanna ket nagsubli isuna idiay Jerusalem.
And when he had destroyed the altars and the sacred groves, and had broken the idols to pieces, and when all the profane shrines had been demolished from the entire land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
8 Ita, iti maika-18 a tawen iti panagturayna, kalpasan a nadalusan ni Josias ti daga ken ti templo, imbaonna da Safan a putot a lalaki ni Asalias, ni Maasias, a gobernador iti siudad, ken ni Joas a putot a lalaki ni Joacaz a sekritario, a tarimaanenda ti balay ni Yahweh a Diosna.
And so, in the eighteenth year of his reign, having now cleansed the land and the temple of the Lord, he sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah, the ruler of the city, and Joah, the son of Joahaz, the historian, to repair the house of the Lord his God.
9 Napanda kenni Hilkias, a nangato a padi, ket intalekda kenkuana ti kuarta a naiyeg iti balay ti Dios, a naur-or dagiti Levita, a guardia dagiti ruangan manipud iti Manases ken Efraim, manipud kadagiti amin a nabatbati iti Israel, manipud iti entero a Juda ken Bejamin, ken kadagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem.
And they went to Hilkiah, the high priest. And having accepted from him the money which had been brought into the house of the Lord, and which the Levites and porters had gathered together from Manasseh, and Ephraim, and the entire remnant of Israel, and also from all of Judah, and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
10 Intalekda ti kuarta kadagiti lallaki a mangimatmaton iti trabaho idiay templo ni Yahweh. Tinangdanan dagitoy a lallaki dagiti trabahador a nangtarimaan ken nangipasdek manen iti templo.
they delivered it into the hands of those who were in charge of the workers in the house of the Lord, so that they might repair the temple, and restore whatever was weak.
11 Intangdanda dagitoy kadagiti karpentero ken kadagiti agipaspasdek, ken pinanggatangda kadagiti napurmaan a bato, ken kadagiti tabla a pangpatibker, ken maaramid nga adigi para kadagiti paset a binaybay-an a marba dagiti sigud nga ari ti Juda.
And they gave it to the artisans and the stoneworkers, so that they might buy stones from the quarries, and wood for the joints of the building and for the upper floors of the houses, which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
12 Sipupudno nga inaramid dagiti lalaki ti trabahoda. Dagiti mangimatmaton kadakuada ket da Jahat ken Obadias, a Levita, a putot a lallaki ni Merari; ken ni Zacarias ken Mesullam, manipud kadagiti putot a lallaki dagiti Koatitas. Dagidiay dadduma a Levita a nalalaing iti musiko ket immatonanda dagiti agtrabtrabaho.
And they did everything faithfully. Now the overseers of the workers were Jahath and Obadiah, from the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, from the sons of Kohath, who were supervising the work. All were Levites who knew how to play musical instruments.
13 Dagitoy a Levita ket isuda ti mangimatmaton kadagiti agbunbunag kadagiti mausar iti pasdek ken kadagiti dadduma a lallaki nga agtrabtrabaho. Adda met dagiti Levita a sekritario, mangimatmaton, ken guardia dagiti ruangan.
Truly, scribes and teachers, from among the Levites who were porters, were over those who were carrying burdens for various uses.
14 Idi inruarda dagiti kuarta a naiyeg iti balay ni Yahweh, nasarakan ni Hilkias a padi Ti Libro ti Linteg ni Yahweh a naited babaen kenni Moises.
And when they carried out the money that had been brought into the temple of the Lord, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
15 Kinuna ni Hilkias kenni Safan nga eskriba, “Nasarakak Ti Libro ti Linteg iti balay ni Yahweh.” Impan ni Hilkias ti Libro kenni Safan.
And he said to Shaphan, the scribe: “I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord.” And he delivered it to him.
16 Impan ni Safan ti Libro iti ari, ken kinunana pay kenkuana, “Ar-aramiden dagiti adipenmo dagiti amin a naitalek kadakuada.
Then he took the volume to the king, and he reported to him, saying: “Behold, everything that you entrusted to your servants is completed.
17 Innalada amin dagiti kuarta a nakitada iti balay ni Yahweh, ket intalekda daytoy kadagiti mangimatmaton ken kadagiti trabahador.”
They have melted together the silver that was found in the house of the Lord. And it has been given to the overseers of the artisans and craftsmen for various works.
18 Kinuna ni Safan nga eskriba iti ari, “Adda libro nga inted kaniak ni Hilkias a padi.” Kalpasanna, imbasa ni Safan ti libro iti ari.
After this, Hilkiah the priest gave to me this book.” And when he had read it in the presence of the king,
19 Idi mangngeg ti ari dagiti linteg, rinay-abna dagiti pagan-anayna.
and he had heard the words of the law, he tore his garments.
20 Binilin ti ari da Hilkias, ni Ahikam a putot a lalaki ni Safan, ni Abdon a putot a lalaki ni Mika, ni Safan nga eskriba, ken ni Asaias, nga adipenna, a kunana,
And he instructed Hilkiah, and Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Abdon, the son of Micah, and also Shaphan, the scribe, and Asaiah, the servant of the king, saying:
21 “Mapanyo saludsoden ti pagayatan ni Yahweh kaniak, ken kadagiti nabati iti Israel ken iti Juda, gapu kadagiti sasao iti libro a nasarakan. Ta nakaro ti pungtot ni Yahweh a naidissuor kadatayo. Nakaro unay, gapu ta saan nga impangag dagiti kapuonantayo dagiti sasao iti daytoy a libro a kas panangtungpal koma kadagiti amin a naisurat iti daytoy a libro.”
“Go, and pray to the Lord for me, and for the remnant of Israel and Judah, concerning all the words of this book, which has been found. For the great fury of the Lord has rained down upon us, because our fathers did not keep the words of the Lord, to do all that has been written in this volume.”
22 Isu a ni Hilkias, ken dagiti binilin ti ari, ket napanda kenni Hulda a babai a profeta, nga asawa ni Sallum a putot a lalaki ni Tokat, a putot a lalaki ni Hara, a mangay-aywan kadagiti kawes (agnanaed isuna idiay Jerusalem idiay Maikadua a Distrito), ket kinasaritada isuna iti kastoy a wagas:
Therefore, Hilkiah, and those who had been sent with him by the king, went to Huldah, the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the vestments. She was living in Jerusalem, in the second part. And they spoke to her the words which we explained above.
23 Kinunana kadakuada, “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, a Dios ti Israel: 'Ibagayo iti tao a nangibaon kadakayo nga umaykayo kaniak,
And she responded to them: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Tell the man who sent you to me:
24 “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: 'Dumngegka, mangidissuorakto iti didigra iti daytoy a lugar ken kadagiti agnanaed iti daytoy, dagiti amin a lunod a naisurat iti libro nga imbasada iti sangoanan ti ari ti Juda.
Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will lead in evils over this place, and over its inhabitants, with all the curses that have been written in this book, which they have read before the king of Judah.
25 Gapu ta linaksiddak ken nangpuorda kadagiti insenso kadagiti didiosen, tapno pagpungtotendak babaen kadagitoy nga inar-aramidda-ngarud, maidissuorto ti pungtotko iti daytoy a lugar, ket saanto nga agbaaw daytoy.””
For they have abandoned me, and they have sacrificed to foreign gods, so that they provoked me to wrath by all the works of their hands. Therefore, my fury will rain down upon this place, and it will not be extinguished.
26 Ngem maipapan iti ari ti Juda, a nangibaon kadakayo tapno saludsoden ti pagayatan ni Yahweh, kastoy ti ibagayo kenkuana: “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, a Dios ti Israel: Maipanggep kadagiti sasao a nangngegmo:
To the king of Judah, who sent you to petition before the Lord, so shall you speak: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Since you listened to the words of this volume,
27 'gapu ta nagbabawika, ken nagpakumbabaka iti sangoanan ti Dios idi nangngegmo dagiti sasaona a maibusor iti daytoy a lugar ken kadagiti agnanaed iti daytoy, ken gapu ta nagpakumbabaka iti sangoanak ken rinay-abmo dagiti pagan-anaymo ken immasugka iti sangoanak, impangagka met'-kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
and your heart was softened, and you humbled yourself in the sight of God concerning these things which have been said against this place and against the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and since, revering my face, you have torn your garments, and have wept before me: I also have heeded you, says the Lord.
28 ‘Kitaem, itiponkanto kadagiti kapuonam; natalnanto ti pannakaitanemmo, ken saanto a maimatangan dagiti matam ti uray ania kadagiti didigra nga idissuorko iti daytoy a lugar ken kadagiti agnanaed iti daytoy."”” Impakaammo ngarud dagiti lallaki daytoy a mensahe iti ari.
For now I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be brought into your sepulcher in peace. Neither shall your eyes see all the evil that I will lead in, over this place and over its inhabitants.” And so they took back to the king all that she had said.
29 Kalpasanna, nangibaon ti ari kadagiti mensahero ken inummongna dagiti amin a panglakayen iti Juda ken Jerusalem.
And he, calling together all those greater by birth of Judah and Jerusalem,
30 Kalpasanna, napan ti ari iti balay ni Yahweh, ken dagiti amin a lallaki ti Juda ken dagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem, ken dagiti papadi, Levita, ken amin dagiti tattao, dagiti mararaem ken nanumo. Bayat nga agdengdengngegda, imbasa ti ari dagiti amin a linaon ti Libro ti Tulag a nasarakan idiay balay ni Yahweh.
ascended to the house of the Lord, united with all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests and the Levites, and all the people, from the least even to the greatest. And in their hearing, in the house of the Lord, the king read all the words of the volume.
31 Nagtakder ti ari iti lugarna ket nakitulag iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, nga agtulnog ken ni Yahweh, ken tungpalenna dagiti bilbilinna, dagiti pammaneknekna iti katulaganna, ken dagiti alagadenna, iti amin a puso ken kararuana, nga agtulnog kadagiti sasao iti katulagan a naisurat iti daytoy a libro.
And standing up at his tribunal, he struck a covenant before the Lord, so that he would walk after him, and would keep his precepts and testimonies and justifications, with his whole heart and with his whole soul, and so that he would do the things that were written in that volume, which he had read.
32 Pinagkarina dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti Jerusalem ken Benjamin a tungpalenda ti katulagan. Nagtulnog dagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem iti tulag ti Dios, a Dios dagiti kapuonanda.
Also, concerning this, he bound by oath all who had been found in Jerusalem and Benjamin. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem acted in accord with the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers.
33 Inikkat ni Josias dagiti amin a makarimon a banbanag kadagiti daga a kukua dagiti tattao ti Israel. Pinagdayawna kenni Yahweh a Diosda ti tunggal maysa iti Israel. Kadagiti amin nga al-aldawna, saanda a sinalungasing ti panagtulnogda kenni Yahweh a Dios dagiti kapuonanda.
Therefore, Josiah took away all the abominations from all the regions of the sons of Israel. And he caused all who were remaining in Israel to serve the Lord their God. During all his days, they did not withdraw from the Lord, the God of their fathers.
