2 Ar-ari 23

1 Isu a nangibaon ti ari kadagiti mensahero a nakiummong kenkuana, amin a panglakayen iti Juda ken iti Jerusalem.

And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.

2 Ket simmang-at ti ari iti balay ni Yahweh, ken kimmuyog kenkuana dagiti amin a tattao ti Juda ken dagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem, dagiti papadi, dagiti profeta ken dagiti amin a tattao, manipud kadagiti napanglaw agingga kadagiti nabaknang. Ket kabayatan a dumdumngegda, binasana dagiti amin a sasao ti libro ti tulag a nasarakan iti balay ni Yahweh.

And the king went up to the house of the LORD, 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 was found in the house of the LORD.

3 Nagtakder ti ari iti abay ti adigi ket nakitulag kenni Yahweh, a magna iti pagayatan ni Yahweh, ken surotenna iti amin a puso ken kararuana dagiti bilbilinna, dagiti pammaneknekna iti tulagna ken dagiti pagannurotanna, tapno patalgedan daytoy a tulag a naisurat iti daytoy a libro. Isu nga immannamong dagiti amin a tattao nga agtungpal iti tulag.

And the king stood on the platform, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep His commandments, and 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 stood to the covenant.

4 Binilin ti ari ni Hilkias a kangatoan a padi, dagiti padi nga adda iti babaenna ken dagiti agbabantay kadagiti ruangan, nga irruarda manipud iti templo ni Yahweh dagiti amin a pagkargaan a naaramid a maipaay kada Baal, Asera ken kadagiti amin a bituen iti langit. Pinuoranna dagitoy iti ruar ti Jerusalem kadagiti taltalon ti Tanap ti Kidron ket impanna dagiti dapuda idiay Betel.

And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of heaven; and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el.

5 Inikkatna dagiti papadi nga agdaydayaw kadagiti didiosen a pinili dagiti ari ti Juda a mangipuor iti insenso kadagiti altar kadagiti siudad ti Juda ken kadagiti lugar nga adda iti aglawlaw ti Jerusalem—dagiti nangipuor iti insenso kenni Baal, iti init ken bulan, kadagiti planeta ken kadagiti amin a bituen iti langit.

And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to offer in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that offered unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the constellations, and to all the host of heaven.

6 Inruarna ti imahen ni Asera manipud iti templo ni Yahweh, iti ruar ti Jerusalem ket impanna iti Tanap ti Kidron ket pinuoranna sadiay. Pinagdapona daytoy ket imbellengna ti dapo kadagiti tanem dagiti kadawyan a tattao.

And he brought out the Asherah from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the common people.

7 Inruarna dagiti adda kadagiti siled dagiti balangkantis a lallaki nga adda iti templo ni Yahweh, iti siled a pagab-abelan dagiti babbai kadagiti pagan-anay a maipaay kenni Asera.

And he broke down the houses of the sodomites, that were in the house of the LORD, where the women wove coverings for the Asherah.

8 Inruar amin ni Josias dagiti papadi kadagiti siudad ti Juda ket rinugitanna dagiti disso a pagdaydayawan a nangipuoran dagiti papadi iti insenso, manipud Geba agingga idiay Beerseba. Dinadaelna dagiti disso a pagdaydayawan nga adda kadagiti ruangan, dagiti disso a pagdaydayawan nga adda iti pagserkan agingga iti Ruangan ni Josue, nga impatakder ti gobernador ti siudad a managan Josue. Dagitoy a disso a pagdaydayawan ket adda iti makannigid ti ruangan ti siudad no sumrek ti maysa a tao iti siudad.

And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had made offerings, from Geba to Beer-sheba; 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 as he entered the gate of the city.

9 Uray no dagiti papadi dagidiay a disso a pagdaydayawan ket saan a mapalubosan nga agserbi iti altar ni Yahweh idiay Jerusalem, mapalubusanda a mangan iti tinapay nga awan lebadurana kas kadagiti kakabsatda a papadi.

Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat unleavened bread among their brethren.

10 Rinugitan met ni Josias ti Tofet nga adda iti tanap ti Ben Hinnom, tapno awan ti uray maysa a mangidaton iti anakna kas daton a mapuoran iti apuy a maipaay kenni Molec.

And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.

11 Innalana dagiti kabalio nga inted dagiti ari ti Juda iti init. Addada iti maysa a disso idiay pagserkan ti templo ni Yahweh, iti asideg ti siled ni Natan Melek a mangidadaulo kadagiti agserserbi iti ari. Pinuoran ni Josias dagiti karwahe ti init.

And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nethan-melech the officer, which was in the precincts; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

12 Dinadael ni Josias nga ari dagiti altar nga adda iti bubong iti akin ngato a siled ni Ahaz nga inaramid dagiti ari ti Juda, ken dagiti altar nga inaramid ni Manases iti dua a paraangan ti templo ni Yahweh. Binurak dagitoy ni Josias ket imbellengna iti Tanap ti Kidron.

And the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king break down, and beat them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.

13 Rinugitan ni Josias dagiti disso a pagdaydayawan nga adda iti daya ti Jerusalem, abagatan ti Bantay ti Pannakadadael nga impatakder ni Solomon nga ari ti Israel a maipaay kenni Astoret, ti makarimon a didiosen dagiti taga-Sidon, maipaay kenni Kemos, ti makarimon a didiosen dagiti taga-Moab; ken maipaay kenni Milcom, ti makarimon a didiosen dagiti tattao ti Ammon.

And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the detestation of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the detestation of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.

14 Binurak ni Ari Josias dagiti nasagradoan nga adigi a bato, intumbana dagiti imahen ni Asera ken ginaburanna iti tultulang ti tao dagiti nakaipatakderanna.

And he broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men.

15 Rinebba met ni Josias ti altar nga adda idiay Betel ken ti disso a pagdaydayawan nga impatakder ni Jeroboam nga anak ni Nebat, ti nangisungsong iti Israel nga agbasol. Pinuoranna ti altar agingga a dimmapo; pinuoranna met ti imahen ni Asera.

Moreover the altar that was at Beth-el, 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 stamped it small to powder, and burned the Asherah.

16 Kabayatan a kitkitaen ni Josias ti disso, nadlawna dagiti tanem nga adda iti turod. Nangibaon isuna kadagiti lallaki a mangala kadagiti tultulang manipud kadagiti tanem; ket pinuoranna dagitoy iti rabaw ti altar nga isu ti nangrugit iti daytoy. Daytoy ket segun iti sao ni Yahweh nga imbaga ti tao ti Dios, ti tao a nangibaga kadagitoy a banbanag idi.

And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount; and he sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.

17 Ket kinunana, “Ania a munomento dayta makitkitak?” Imbaga kenkuana dagiti lallaki iti siudad, “Dayta ti tanem ti tao ti Dios a naggapu idiay Juda ken nangibaga kadagitoy a banbanag a kaar-aramidmo laeng maibusor iti altar ti Betel.”

Then he said: 'What monument is that which I see?' And the men of the city told him: 'It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Beth-el.'

18 Isu a kinuna ni Josias, “Bay-anyo dayta. Awan ti siasinoman a mangiyakar kadagiti tulangna.” Isu a binaybay-anda dagiti tulangna a kadua dagiti tultulang ti profeta a naggapu idiay Samaria.

And he said: 'Let him be; let no man move his bones.' So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.

19 Amin dagiti templo ken dagiti disso a pagdaydayawan nga adda kadagiti siudad ti Samaria, nga inaramid dagiti ari ti Israel a nangpapungtot kenni Yahweh— innala ni Josias dagitoy. Inaramidna kadagitoy ti isu met laeng a naaramid idiay Betel.

And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Beth-el.

20 Pinatayna pay dagiti amin a papadi dagiti disso a pagdaydayawan kadagiti rabaw dagiti altar sadiay ken nagpuor kadagiti tultulang ti tao iti rabaw dagiti altar. Kalpasanna, nagsubli isuna idiay Jerusalem.

And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there, upon the altars, and burned men's bones upon them; and he returned to Jerusalem.

21 Kalpasanna, binilin ti ari dagiti amin a tattao, kinunana, “Rambakanyo ti Fiesta ti Ilalabas para kenni Yahweh a Diosyo, kas naisurat iti daytoy a libro ti tulag.”

And the king commanded all the people, saying: 'Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.'

22 Awan pay ti narambakan a Fiesta ti Ilalabas manipud kadagiti al-aldaw dagiti uk-ukom a nagturay iti Israel, wenno kadagiti amin nga al-aldaw dagiti ari iti Israel wenno Juda.

For there was not kept such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;

23 Nupay kasta, daytoy a Fiesta ti Ilalabas ket pudno a narambakan iti maikasangapulo ket walo a tawen ni Ari Josias; daytoy ket para kenni Yahweh idiay Jerusalem.

but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this passover kept to the LORD in Jerusalem.

24 Pinukaw met ni Josias dagidiay makisarsarita iti natay wenno kadagiti espiritu. Pinukawna met dagiti mammadles, dagiti didiosen ken amin dagiti makarimon a banbanag a makita iti daga ti Judah ken iti Jerusalem, ket tapno mapatalgedan dagiti sasao ti linteg a naisurat iti libro a nasarakan ni Hilkias a padi iti balay ni Yahweh.

Moreover them that divined by a ghost or a familiar spirit, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the detestable things that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.

25 Sakbay kenni Josias, awan pay ti ari a kas kenkuana a nagserbi kenni Yahweh iti amin a pusona, amin a kararuana, amin a pigsana, a nangtungpal kadagiti amin a linteg ni Moises. Wenno awan ti ari a kas kenni Josias ti nagturay kalpasan kenkuana.

And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD 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 there any like him.

26 Nupay kasta, saan a naikkat ti nakaro a pungtot ni Yahweh, a napasgedan maibusor iti Juda para kadagiti amin a pagano a panagdaydayaw nga inaramid ni Manases a nangpapungtot kenkuana.

Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of His great wrath, wherewith His anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations wherewith Manasseh had provoked Him.

27 Isu a kinuna ni Yahweh, “Ikkatekto met ti Juda iti imatangko, a kas iti panangikkatko iti Israel, ken ibellengkonto daytoy a siudad a pinilik, ti Jerusalem, ken ti balay a kinunak nga, 'Addanto sadiay ti naganko.'”

And the LORD said: 'I will remove Judah also 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 No maipanggep met kadagiti dadduma a banbanag maipapan kenni Josias, amin a banbanag nga inaramidna, saan kadi a naisurat dagitoy iti Libro dagiti Pakasaritaan dagiti Ari ti Juda?

Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

29 Kadagiti al-aldawna, napan ni Faraon Neco nga ari ti Egipto tapno gubatenna ti ari ti Asiria idiay Karayan Eufrates. Napan sinabat ni Ari Josias ni Neco iti gubatan, ket pinatay isuna ni Neco idiay Megiddo.

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; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.

30 Inlugan dagiti adipen ni Josias ti bangkayna iti karwahe manipud Meggido ket impanda idiay Jerusalem, ket intabonda iti bukodna a tanem. Ket innala dagiti tattao iti dayta a daga ni Joacaz nga anakna, pinulotanda isuna ket pinagbalinda nga ari a kasukat ti amana.

And his servants carried 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 the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead.

31 Duapulo ket tallo ti tawen ni Joacaz idi nangrugi isuna nga agturay, ket nagturay isuna iti tallo a bulan idiay Jerusalem. Hamutal ti nagan ti inana, anak a babai isuna ni Jeremias a taga-Libna.

Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

32 Inaramid ni Joacaz ti dakes iti imatang ni Yahweh, kas kadagiti amin nga inaramid dagiti kapuonanna.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.

33 Inkawar isuna ni Faraon Neco idiay Ribla iti daga ni Hamat tapno saan isuna a makapagturay idiay Jerusalem. Ket minulta ni Neco ti Juda iti sangagasut a talento a pirak ken maysa talento a balitok.

And Pharaoh-necoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a fine of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.

34 Pinagbalin ni Faraon Neco nga ari ni Eliakim nga anak ni Josias, kas kasukat ni Josias nga amana, ken sinukatanna ti naganna iti Jehoyakim. Ngem impanna ni Joacaz idiay Egipto, ket sadiay a natay ni Joacaz.

And Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim; but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and died there.

35 Nagbayad ni Jehoyakim iti pirak ken balitok iti Faraon. Pinagbuisna dagiti tattao tapno mabayadan ti kuarta, tapno matungpalna ti bilin ti Faraon. Pinilitna ti tunggal maysa kadagiti tattao iti daga nga agbayad iti pirak ken balitok, tapno maited daytoy kenni Faraon Neco.

And 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, of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaoh-necoh.

36 Duapulo ket lima ti tawen ni Jehoyakim idi nangrugi isuna nga agturay, ken sangapulo ket maysa a tawen a nagturay isuna idiay Jerusalem. Zebida ti nagan ti inana, nga anak ni Pedaias a taga-Ruma.

Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Zebudah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.

37 Inaramid ni Jehoyakim ti dakes iti imatang ni Yahweh kas kadagiti amin a banbanag nga inaramid dagiti kapuonanna.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
