2 Kroniku 34

1 Hagi Josaia'a 8'a kafu hu'neno Juda vahe kinia efore huteno, 31'a kafu Jerusalemi kumatera kinia mani'ne.

Josiah was eight when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for thirty-one years.

2 Hagi Josaia'a Ra Anumzamofo avurera fatgo avu'ava huno ufrege efregera osuno, negeho Deviti'ma hu'nea avu'ava avariri'ne.

He did what was right in the Lord's sight and followed the ways of his forefather David—he did not deviate to the right or to the left.

3 Hagi Josaia'a 8'a kafuma kinima nemanino, 15ni'a kafu hu'neno agafa huno negeho Deviti'ma hu'neaza huno Anumzamofona monora hunte'ne. Hagi namba 12fu kafurera Juda mopafine, Jerusalemi kumapinena vano nehuno, maka havi anumzama mono'ma hunentaza kumatmina tapage hunetreno, Asera havi anumzamofo amema'ama zafare'ma antre'zama tro'ma hu'naza zantamina antagi netreno, zafare'ma antre'za kaza osu havi anumzamofo amema'aramima tro'ma hunte'naza zantamina rutmanatmanu hunetreno, kre mramrama hu'za havi anumzamofo amema'ama tro'ma hunte'naza zantaminena rutmana tamanu hutre'ne. Hagi Josaia'a e'inahu huno Juda mopane, Jerusalemi kuma'enena azeri agru hu'ne.

In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, Josiah began to publicly worship the God of David his forefather, and in the twelfth year of his reign he began to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem by removing the high places, the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the metal images.

4 Ana nehuno Josaia'a hige'za Bali havi anumzamofonte'ma kresramana vu itaramina negege'za tagnavazi netre'za, mnanentake'za insensima kre mnama nevaza itaraminena tagna vazitre'naze. Ana nehuno Asera havi anumzamofo amema'ama me'nea zafaramine, kaza osu havi anumzamofo amema'ama antre'za tro'ma huntenaza zantamine, kre mramrama hu'za havi anumzamofo amema'ama troma hunte'naza ame'ma'aramina rutmana hu'za rufuzafupete'za, ana anumzantminte'ma mono'ma hunentaza vahe'mokizmi matipi atre'za vano hu'naze.

He had the altars of Baal torn down in front of him, and the incense altars above them cut down. In addition, the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the metal images were smashed to pieces and scattered over the graves of those who had been sacrificing to them.

5 Ana nehuno Josaia havi anumzantmimofo pristi vahe'mokizmi zaferinaramina Kresramana vu itazmire kreno Juda mopane, Jerusalemi kuma'enena eri agru hu'ne.

He burned the bones of the idolatrous priests on their altars. In this way he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.

6 Hagi anazanke huno Manase nagamokizmi rankumapine, Efraemi nagamokizmi rankumapine, Simioni nagamokizmi rankumapine, Nafatari nagamokizmi rankumapine, tava'ozmire'ma me'nea kuma'ma havizama hu'nea kumatamimpinena vuno,

Josiah repeated this in the towns of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, all the way to Naphtali, and in their surrounding areas.

7 havi anumzamofonte'ma kresramana vu itaramine, Asera havi anumzamofo amema'ama me'nea zafaramina maka antagino kitagi kotago hunetreno, havi anumzamofo amema'aramima tro hunte'nazana rutamna huno ru fuzafupenetreno, mnanentake'za insensima kre mnama nevaza itaraminena Israeli mopafintira maka tagna vazitreteno, ete Jerusalemi kumate vu'ne.

He tore down the altars and crushed the Asherah poles and the images to dust, and cut down all the incense altars across the whole land of Israel. Then he went back to Jerusalem.

8 Josaia'ma 18ni'a kafuma kinima nemanino'a, havi anumzama mono'ma hunentaza zantamina eri haviza huno Juda mopane, ran mono nonena eri agru huteno, Azalia nemofo Safanima, rankumamofo kva ne' Ma'aseiama, avonkre eri'za e'neria ne' Joahazi nemofo Joanki huno Ra Anumzana Anumzama'amofo no eriso'e hiho huno huzmante'ne.

In the eighteenth year of his reign, once he had finished cleansing the land and the Temple, Josiah sent Shaphan, son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the city governor, and Joah, son of Joahaz, the record-keeper, to repair the Temple of the Lord his God.

9 Hige'za e'za Manase nagama, Efraemi nagama, mago'a Israeli naga'ma, maka Juda mopafinti vahetmima, Benzameni naga'ma, Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'mo'zanema Anumzamofo mono nompima ne-eza, zagoa eri'za Livae vahetami eme zami'zage'za, eri'za ugagota pristi ne' Hilkaiana ome ami'naze.

They went to Hilkiah the high priest and gave him the money that had been brought to God's Temple. The Levites at the entrances had collected this money from the people of Manasseh and Ephraim, from what was left of the people of Israel, as well as contributions from Judah, Benjamin, and the people of Jerusalem.

10 Hagi ana zagoa erino mono noma eri so'e nehaza vahe'mokizimi kva vahe zamige'za, ana zagoa eri'za mono noma eriso'ema nehaza vahe'mokizmi miza sezmante'naze.

They handed it over to those who were supervising the repair work on Lord's Temple, who in turn paid the workmen doing the restoring and repairing.

11 Hagi ana zagoma zami'nazana, zamagra ana zagoa eri'za noma negi'za vahe'ene ke'onkezama tagama hunte haverami miza nese'za, zafarami mizase'za Juda kini vahe'mo'zama eri so'ema osu'za atrazageno'ma havizama hu'nea nomofo zafaramina eri fatgo hu'naze.

They also paid carpenters and builders to buy cut stone, as well as timber for joists and beams for the buildings that the kings of Judah had let deteriorate.

12 Hagi ana vahe'mo'za eri'zana hankaveti'za eri'naze. Ana eri'za vahetmima kegavama huzmante'naza vahetmina, Merari nagapinti Livae netre Jahati'ene, Obadaiakegi, Kohati nagapinti netre Zekaraiake Mesulamuke. Hagi ana maka Livae nagaki'za zavenama ahe'za zagame'ma hu zana antahi ankere'naza vaheki'za,

The men did good, honest work. In charge of them were Jahath and Obadiah, Levites from the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, Levites from the sons of the Kohathites. The Levites, all skilled musicians,

13 eri'za vahetmina kegava nehu'za, erizante'ma vugote'zama kegavama hu'naza vahera e'ina hiho, amana hiho hu'za antahintahi zami'naze. Hagi mago'a Livae vahe'mo'za avonkre eri'za e'nerizageno, mago'amo'za Kasegema kreno eri fatgoma hu eri'za enerizageno, mago'amo'za kafante'ma kegava hu eri'za eri'naze.

were in charge of the workmen and directed everyone involved, depending on what was required. Some of the Levites were scribes, some officers, and some gatekeepers.

14 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo nompima ana zagoma eri'za e'naza zagoma eri'za atineramizageno'a, pristi ne' Hilkaia'a Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema ami'nea Kasege Avontafera keno eri'ne.

In the process of taking out the money donated to the Lord's Temple, Hilkiah the priest discovered the Book of the Lord's Law written down by Moses.

15 Hagi Hilkaia'ma ana kasege avontafema hakreno enerino'a, kasegema kreno eri fatgo nehia ne' Safanina amanage huno asmi'ne, Kasege avontafera Ra Anumzamofo mono nompinti kena erue, nehuno ana avontafera Safani ami'ne.

Hilkiah told Shaphan the scribe, “I've found the Book of the Law in the Lord's Temple.” He gave it to Shaphan.

16 Ana higeno Safani'a ana avontafera erino kini ne' Josaia ome nemino, eri'zamofo agenkea anage huno asmi'ne, Eri'za vaheka'ama maka eri'zama zami'nana eri'zana knare hu'za e'nerize.

Shaphan took the book to the king and told him, “We your servants are doing everything we were instructed to do.

17 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima me'nea zagoa eri'za, eri'zante'ma vugote'za kegavama hu'naza vahetami zami'naze.

The money collected at the Lord's Temple has been handed over to those who are supervising the workers, paying them to do the repairs.”

18 Hagi mago'ane Safani'a kini nera asmino, Ama avontafera pristi ne' Hilkaia nami'ne, huno nesmino ana avontafera kini nemofo avuga hampri'ne.

Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest gave me this book.” Shaphan read it to the king.

19 Hagi kini ne' Josaia'ma kasegefima me'nea nanekeramima nentahino'a, zaza kukena'a tagato hu'ne.

When the king heard what the Law said, he tore his clothes.

20 Ana nehuno kini ne'mo'a Hilkaiama, Safani nemofo Ahikamuma, Maika nemofo Abdonima, avon kre eri'za ne' Safanima, kini ne'mofo eri'za ne' Asaianena amanage huno zamasami'ne,

Then he issue the following orders to Hilkiah, Ahikam, son of Shaphan, Abdon, son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah, the king's assistant:

21 Hagi nagrane maka Israeli vahe'ene, Juda vahe'motanena ama avontafepima me'nea nanekerera na'a hugahumpi, vuta Ra Anumzamofona ome antahigeta keho. Na'ankure tagehe'mo'za ama avontafepima me'nea kasegea ovaririnazageno, Ra Anumzamo'a tagrira tusi arimpa aherante'ne.

“Go and talk to the Lord for me, and also for those who still live in Israel and Judah, about what is said in the book that's been found. For the Lord must be really angry with us because our forefathers have not obeyed the Lord's instructions by following all that's written in this book.”

22 E'inage higeno Hilkaia'ene kini ne'mo'ma huzmantea vahe'mo'zanena, kasnampa a' Hulda kenaku Jerusalemi kumapina, noti kaziga mago kuma me'nea kumapi vu'naze. Hagi ana a'mofo neve'a, Salumukino Tokhati nemofo Hasra negeho'e. Hagi agra kukena nonte kva ne' mani'ne. Hagi ana kini ne'mo'ma hiankea ana vahe'mo'za kasnampa ara ome asami'naze.

Hilkiah and those the king had selected went and talked with Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, custodian of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the city's second quarter.

23 Hagi ana kasnampa a'mo'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a huno, huramantegeta e'naza nera amanage huta ome asamiho,

Huldah told them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me,

24 Ama kumate'ene ama ana kumapi vahete'enena, Juda kini ne'mofo avugama nehampri'za avontafepima me'nea hazenkezane, maka kazusizanena atrenugeno egahie.

this is what the Lord says: I am about to bring disaster down on this place and on its people, in accordance with all the curses written in the book that has been read to the king of Judah.

25 Na'ankure zamagra Nagrira zamefi hunami'za, ru anumzantminte Kresramana nevu'za, monora hunente'za, havi zamavu'zmava'ma hazazamo'a, tusiza huno Nagrira nazeri narimpa ahe'ne. E'ina hu'negu ama kumapi vahetmima narimpama ahezmante'noa zana, mago zamo'a eri amne hugara osu'ne.

They have abandoned me and offered sacrifices to other gods, making me angry by everything they've done. My anger will be poured out upon this place and will not be stopped.

26 Hianagi Juda kini ne'mo'ma Ra Anumzamofoma ome agenoka huta antahiho huno'ma huramantegetama e'naza nera, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a ko'ma hamprizagenka antahi'nana kerera amanage hie huta ome asmiho,

But tell the king of Judah who sent you to ask the Lord, tell him this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: As for the what you heard read to you—

27 Na'ankure nagra ama kumate'ene, ama kumapi vahetema hunaku'ma hua nanekema nentahinka, kagu'a anteraminka Anumzamo'na navuga nemaninka, kukenaka'a tagato hunka kasunkura nehunka, zavira atanke'na antahue huno Ra Anumzamo'a hie huta ome asamiho.

because you were receptive and repentant before God when you heard his warnings against this place and against its people, and because you have repented, tearing your clothes and weeping before me, I have also heard you, declares the Lord.

28 Hagi menina ama kumate'ene ana kumapi vahe'ma zamazeri havizama hanuazana onkenenka knare hunka mani'nenka frigahane. Anage hige'za ana vahe'mo'za atre'za vu'za, Hulda'ma hiankea kini ne' Josaiana ome asmi'naze.

All this will not happen until after you have died, and you will die in peace. You will not see all the disaster that I'm going to bring down on this place and on its inhabitants.” They went back to the king and gave him her response.

29 Higeno kini ne' Josaia'a mika Juda kumapi ranra vahetamine, Jerusalemi kumapi ranra vahetamina kehu atru hu'ne.

Then the king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.

30 Ana huteno vuno maka Juda vahetamine, Jerusalemi vahetamine, pristi vahetamine, Livae vahetaminena Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi zamavare atru higeno, ositeti'ma vuno ra vahetema vu'neana maka atru hu'naze. Ana hutazageno, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompinti'ma ke'za eri'naza avontafepima me'nea nanekea ranke huno maka hampri vagare'ne.

He went to the Lord's Temple with all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, together with the priests and the Levites, all the people from the least to the greatest, and he read to them the whole Book of the Agreement that had been discovered in the Lord's Temple.

31 Ana huteno kini ne' Josaia'a kini vahe'mo'zama oneti'zare otino, Ra Anumzamofo kasege'ane, avu'ava'ane, tra ke'anema ama avontafepima krente'neana, maka nagu namenteti hu'na avaririgahue huno huvempa hu'ne.

The king stood by the pillar and made a solemn agreement before the Lord to follow him and to keep his commandments, laws, and regulations with total dedication, and to observe the requirements of the agreement as written in the book.

32 Ana nehuno miko Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'ene, Benzameni naga'enena hige'za agri'ene oti'naze. Ana hazageno Jerusalemi kumapi vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempa kemo'ma hu'nea kante ante'za, zamafahe'mofo Anumzantera huvempa hu'naze.

Then he had everyone present from Jerusalem and Benjamin stand up to show they agreed to it. So all the people of Jerusalem accepted and followed the agreement with God, the God of their forefathers.

33 Hagi mika Israeli mopa agu'afima kaza osu havi anumzantmimofo amema'aramina Josaia'a ru takoraku hunetreno, maka vahetmina hige'za Ra Anumzana zamagehe'mokizmi Anumzante monora hunte'naze. Hagi Josaia'ama kegavama hu'nea knafina Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzana atre'za ru anumzantmina monora huonte'naze.

Josiah demolished all the vile idols from the whole territory belonging to the Israelites, and he made everyone in Israel serve the Lord their God. During his reign they did not give up worshiping the Lord, the God of their fathers.
