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 began to reign, and he reigned 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.
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, and walked in the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn away to the right hand or 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.
For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, the Asherah poles, the engraved images, and the molten 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.
They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; and he cut down the incense altars that were on high above them. He broke the Asherah poles, the engraved images, and the molten images in pieces, made dust of them, and scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
5 Pinuoranna dagiti tultulang dagiti papadida kadagiti altar a nagdaydayawanda. Iti kastoy a wagas, dinalusanna ti Juda ken Jerusalem.
He burned the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged 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.
He did this in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, around in their ruins.
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.
He broke down the altars, beat the Asherah poles and the engraved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all Eretz-Israel, then 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.
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder 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.
They came to Hilkiah the high priest and delivered the money that was brought into God’s house, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had gathered from the hands of Manasseh, Ephraim, of all the remnant of Israel, of all Judah and Benjamin, and of 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 the workmen who had the oversight of the LORD’s house; and the workmen who labored in the LORD’s house gave it to mend and repair the house.
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.
They gave it to the carpenters and to the builders to buy cut stone and timber for couplings, and to make beams for 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.
The men did the work faithfully. Their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to give direction; and others of the Levites, who were all skillful with 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.
Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and directed all who did the work in every kind of service. Of the Levites, there were scribes, officials, and gatekeepers.
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.
When they brought out the money that was brought into the LORD’s house, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the LORD’s law given by 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.
Hilkiah answered Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the scroll of the Torah in the LORD’s house.” So Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.
16 Impan ni Safan ti Libro iti ari, ken kinunana pay kenkuana, “Ar-aramiden dagiti adipenmo dagiti amin a naitalek kadakuada.
Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought back word to the king, saying, “All that was committed to your servants, they are doing.
17 Innalada amin dagiti kuarta a nakitada iti balay ni Yahweh, ket intalekda daytoy kadagiti mangimatmaton ken kadagiti trabahador.”
They have emptied out the money that was found in the LORD’s house, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers and into the hand of the workmen.”
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.
Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book.” Shaphan read from it to the king.
19 Idi mangngeg ti ari dagiti linteg, rinay-abna dagiti pagan-anayna.
When the king had heard the words of the law, he tore his clothes.
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,
The king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, 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 inquire of the LORD for me, and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the LORD’s wrath that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the LORD’s word, to do according to all that is written in this book.”
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:
So Hilkiah and those whom the king had commanded went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter), and they spoke to her to that effect.
23 Kinunana kadakuada, “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, a Dios ti Israel: 'Ibagayo iti tao a nangibaon kadakayo nga umaykayo kaniak,
She said to them, “The LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘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.
“The LORD says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the curses that are written in the 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.””
Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands, therefore my wrath is poured out on this place, and it will not be quenched.’”’
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:
But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, you shall tell him this, ‘The LORD, the God of Israel says: “About the words which you have heard,
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.
because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this place and against its inhabitants, and have humbled yourself before me, and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard 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.
“Behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes won’t see all the evil that I will bring on this place and on its inhabitants.”’” They brought back this message to the king.
29 Kalpasanna, nangibaon ti ari kadagiti mensahero ken inummongna dagiti amin a panglakayen iti Juda ken Jerusalem.
Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders 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.
The king went up to the LORD’s house with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem—the priests, the Levites, and all the people, both great and small—and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the LORD’s house.
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.
The king stood in his place and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, his testimonies, and his statutes with all his heart and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.
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.
He caused all who were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand. The inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, 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.
Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that belonged to the children of Israel, and made all who were found in Israel to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. All his days they didn’t depart from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
