2 Kva 22

1 Hanki Josaia'a 8'a kafu nehuno, Juda vahe kini efore huteno, 31ni'a kafufi Jerusalemi rankumatera kinia mani'ne. Nerera'a Adaia mofa, Jedidakino Bozkati rankumateti a' mani'ne.

Josiah was eight years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 31 years. His mother was Jedidah and his grandfather was Adaiah from Bozkath [town].

2 Hagi Josaia'a Ra Anumzamofo avurera fatgo avu'avaza nehuno, negeho Deviti'ma Ra Anumzamofo nanekema amage'ma ante'neaza huno, avua keganti kegma osuno, Ra Anumzamofo nanekea ana maka amage ante'ne.

Josiah did things that were pleasing to Yahweh and conducted his life as his ancestor King David had done. He completely obeyed [IDM] all the laws of God.

3 Hagi Josaia'ma Juda vahe kinima 18ni'a kafuma nemanino'a, avontafe negrea ne' Azaria nemofo, Mesulamu negeho Safanina, Ra Anumzamofo mono nontega vinogu anage huno hunte'ne,

After Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years, he sent his secretary Shaphan, the son of Azaliah and grandson of Meshullam, to the temple with these instructions:

4 Kagra vunka ugagota pristi ne' Hilkiana ome asamigeno, Ra Anumzamofo mono no kafante'ma kvama nehaza vahe'mo'zama mono no kahanteti'ma zonegiza zagoa hamprino.

“Go to Hilkiah, the Supreme Priest, and tell him to give me a report, telling me how much money the men who guard the doors of the temple have collected from the people [as offerings].

5 Hagi Hilkiana asamigeno ana zagoa erino, Ra Anumzamofo mono nonte'ma eri'zama eneriza vahete kva vahe zamino. Anama hani'ge'za ana vahe'mo'za eri'za vahera miza senezmantesage'za Ra Anumzamofo mono noma havizama hu'nenia zana eri fatgo hugahaze.

Then tell him to give all that money to the men who are supervising the work of repairing the temple.

6 Hagi kamunta vahe'ene kva vahe'zamine, havereti'ma noma eri fatgoma hu'za negiza vahe'ene, havema taga hu'za noma eri fatgohu eri'zama erisaza vahera, ana zagonu mi'zana huzmantegahaze. Ana nehu'za Ra Anumzamofo mono noma eri fatgo hu'za kisaza zafane, ko'ma taga huno eri pehe hunte haveramina ana zagoretike mizasegahaze.

They must give that money to the carpenters, the builders, and the masons, and they should also buy the timber and the stones that they will use to repair the temple.

7 Hagi ana zagoma zamisaza kva vahera, inankna hutma zagoa netraze hutma zamantahi onkeho. Na'ankure zamagra fatgo hu'za eri'za eri vahe mani'naze.

But the men who supervise the work will not be required to make a report on the money that is given to them, saying what they spent it for, because those men are completely honest.”

8 Hagi anankema asamitegeno'a, ugagota pristi ne' Hilkia'a amanage huno avontafe'ma negrea ne' Safanina asami'ne, Nagra Ra Anumzamofo mono nompinti kasegema me'nea avontafera kena eri'noe, huno nehuno ana avontafera Safanina amigeno hampri'ne.

[After Shaphan said that to Hilkiah] the king’s secretary, Hilkiah said to Shaphan, “I have found in the temple a scroll on which is written the laws [that God gave to Moses]!” Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan, and he started to read it.

9 Anama huteno'a avontafe'ma negrea ne' Safani'a vuno kini ne' Josaiana amanage huno ome asami'ne, Eri'za vahekamo'za ana zagoa eri vgrare'za Ra Anumzamofo mono noma eri fatgo hu erizante'ma kegava hu'naza kva vahe zamazampi ante'naze.

Then Shaphan [took the scroll] to the king and said to him, “Your temple guards have taken the money that was in the temple, and they have given it to the men who will supervise the work of repairing the temple.”

10 Anage nehuno avontafe'ma negrea ne' Safani'a mago'ane kini nera amanage huno asami'ne, Pristi ne' Hilkia'a mago avontafe namige'na eri'na e'noe, nehuno ana avontafera kini ne'mofo avuga hampri'ne.

Then Shaphan said to the king, [“I have brought to you] a scroll that Hilkiah gave to me.” And Shaphan started to read it to the king.

11 Hagi kini ne' Josaia'ma kasege avontafepinti nanekema nentahino'a, zaza kukena'a tagato tagutu hu'ne.

When the king heard the laws that were written in the scroll that Shaphan was reading to him, he tore his clothes [because he was very dismayed].

12 Hagi anante Pristi ne' Hilkiama, Safani nemofo Ahikamuma, Makaia nemofo Akborima, avontafe'ma negrea ne' Safanine, kini ne'mofo eri'za ne' Aisaianena kehige'za azageno hankave nanekea amanage huno huzmante'ne.

Then he gave these instructions to Hilkiah, to Shaphan’s son Ahikam, to Micaiah’s son Achbor, and to Asaiah, the king’s special advisor:

13 Ra Anumzamo'a nagri'ene ana maka Juda vahe'motagura tusi arimpa aherante'negahie. Na'ankure tagrira tagehe'za ama kasege avontafepima tagriku'ma huno krente'nea nanekea amagera onte'naze. E'ina hu'negu tamagra vutma Ra Anumzamofontega nunamu hinkeno, maka kasegemo hu'nea kante amage anteta na'a hugahumpi tasamino.

“Go and ask Yahweh for me and for all the people of Judah, about what is written in this scroll that has been found. Because [it is clear that] Yahweh is very angry with us because our ancestors disobeyed what was written on this scroll, things that we [should have done].”

14 Hagi pristi ne' Hilkia'ma, Ahikamu'ma, Akbori'ma, Safani'ene Asaia'ma hu'za, kinimofo kukenama nentaza nonte kva nehia ne' Harhasi negeho Tikva nemofo Salumu nenaro kasnampa a' Hulda'ma mani'nerega, kenaku Jerusalemi kumamofona mago kaziga vu'naze.

So Hilkiah, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to (consult/talk with) a woman whose name was Huldah, who was a prophetess who lived in the newer/northern part of Jerusalem. Her husband Shallum, son of Tikvah and grandson of Harhas, took care of the robes that were worn [in the temple] (OR, [by the king]). [Those five men told her about the scroll].

15 Anante Hulda'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mota Anumzamo'a amanage huno hie. Tamagri'ma huramantegetama nagrite'ma e'naza nera amanage hutma ome asamiho,

She said to them, “This is what Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] says: ‘Go back and tell the king who sent you

16 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nagra ama avontafepima kre'naza nanekema Juda kini ne'mo'ma hampri'nea nanekea, ana maka amage ante'na, amama mani'naza kuma'ene, vahe'enena tusi'a knazanteti zamazeri havizantfa hugahue.

that this is what Yahweh says: “Listen to this carefully. I am going to cause all the people who live here in Jerusalem to experience a disaster, which is what was written in the scroll that the king has read.

17 Na'ankure zamagra Juda vahe'mo'za Nagrira zamefi hunami'za, havi anumzante monora hunente'za, zamagrama zamazanteti tro hu'naza zantaminte mnanentake'za kre mna vunte'naze. Anama hazazamo nazeri narimpa hazankino, ana narimpa ahezamo'a vagaoregahie.

I will do that because they have abandoned me, and they burn incense to [honor] other gods. They have caused me to become very angry by [worshiping] the idols that they have made (OR, by all the wicked things that they have done), and my anger is like [MET] a fire that will not be put out.”

18 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo antahintahigu'ma huramantegetama e'naza Juda kini nera, avontafepinti nanekema hamparizageno'ma antahi'nea zamofo kaziga, Israeli vahe Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie hutma ome asamiho.

The king of Judah sent you to inquire what I, Yahweh, wanted you to do, so this is what you should say to him: “Because you have heeded what was written in the scroll,

19 Nagra amama mani'naza kuma'ene vahe'enena, knazanteti zamazeri haviza nehu'na, kazusi huntegahuema hu'noa nanekema nentahinka, Ra Anumzamo'na navure'ma kavufga anteneraminka, zaza kukenakama tagato tagutu nehunka zavi'ma ate'nana kavunura tamagerfa hu'na hago ke'noe huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

and you repented and humbled yourself when you heard what I said to warn you [about what would happen to] this city and the people who live here and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you. I said that I would cause this city to be abandoned. It will be a city whose name people will use when they curse someone. But I have heard what you prayed,

20 E'ina hu'negu kagrira katrenugenka kafahe'zama nehazaza hunka frigahane. Anama hananke'za karimpa frune asegantesnagenka, ana knazama Juda vahe'ma zamisua knazana kagra onkegahane. Hagi ana kasnampa a'mo'ma anankema hutege'za, anankea eri'za kini nete vu'naze.

so I will allow you to die [EUP] and be buried peacefully. I will cause the people who live here to experience a terrible disaster, but you will not [be alive to] see it.”’” After the men heard that, they returned to King Josiah and gave him that message.
