Luo Chronicle 34
1 Josiah el yac oalkosr ke el mutawauk in tokosra, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac tolngoul sie.
Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
2 El oru ma su LEUM GOD El insewowo kac, ac fahsrna tukun srikasrak lal Tokosra David, papa matu tumal, ac arulana karinganang in akos ma sap nukewa lun God.
He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
3 In yac se akoalkosr ma Josiah el tokosra, ke el srakna mwet fusr, el mutawauk in alu nu sin God lal Tokosra David, papa matu tumal. Tukun yac akosr el mutawauk in kunausla acn in alu lun mwet pegan, ac ma sruloala ke god mutan Asherah, ac ma sruloala nukewa saya.
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, and the Asherim, and the engraved images, and the molten images.
4 El sap pac mwet lal in fukulya loang ma mwet uh alu nu sel Baal we, ac kunausla loang in kisakin mwe keng su oan apkuran nu ke ma inge. Elos tuktukya ma sruloala kacl Asherah ac ma sruloala nukewa saya, nwe ke mokutkuti, na elos sisalik kutkut inge nu fin kulyuk lun mwet su tuh orek kisa nu ke ma inge.
They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; and the incense altars that were on high above them he cut down; and the Asherim, and the engraved images, and the molten images, he broke in pieces, and made dust of them, and strewed it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
5 El esukak srin mwet tol lun mwet pegan fin loang uh, yen elos tuh alu we. Ke el oru ma inge nukewa, el oru tuh acn Judah ac Jerusalem in sifilpa nasnasla.
He burnt the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
6 El oru ouiya inge in siti saya pac, ac in acn nukewa ma akkolukyeyukla in acn Manasseh, Ephraim, ac Simeon, fahla nwe ke sun acn Naphtali in acn epang.
He did this in the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even to Naphtali, around in their ruins.
7 In acn nukewa ke Tokosrai Epang, el fukulya loang ac ma sruloala kacl Asherah, ac tuktukya ma sruloala nwe ke mokutkuti, ac lipikya loang lun mwe keng. Na el folokla nu Jerusalem.
He broke down the altars, and beat the Asherim and the engraved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem.
8 In yac se aksingoul oalkosr ma Tokosra Josiah el leum, tukun el kunausla alu lun mwet pegan in tuh aknasnasyela facl sac ac Tempul, el supwala mwet tolu in akwoyela Tempul lun LEUM GOD. Inelos pa Shaphan wen natul Azaliah, Maaseiah governor lun acn Jerusalem, ac Joah wen natul Joahaz, sie mwet pwapa fulat.
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.
9 Mani ma mwet Levi su topang ke mutunpot elos eis in Tempul, itukyang nu sel Hilkiah, mwet Tol Fulat. (Mani inge ma orekeni sin mwet Ephraim ac Manasseh, ac mwet in acn saya ke Tokosrai Epang, oayapa sin mwet Judah, mwet Benjamin, ac mwet 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 of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 Na mani inge itukyang nu sin mwet tolu ma kol mwet su orekma in akwoyela Tempul, ac elos sang nu sin
They delivered it into the hand of the workers who had the oversight of the house of the LORD; and the workmen who labored in the house of the LORD gave it to mend and repair the house;
11 kamtu ac mwet musa in moli eot ac sak ma orekmakinyuk in akwoyela lohm nukewa ma tokosra lun Judah fuhlela nwe kulawi.
even to the carpenters and to the builders gave they it, to buy cut stone, and timber for couplings, and to make beams for the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
12 Mwet orekma inge elos arulana suwohs ac pwaye ke ma elos oru. Mwet Levi akosr pa kol orekma se inge: Jahath ac Obadiah ke sou lal Merari, ac Zechariah ac Meshullam ke sou lal Kohath. (Mwet Levi nukewa arulana pisrla ke srital mwe on.)
The men did the work faithfully: and their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and others of the Levites, all who were skillful with instruments of music.
13 Kutu mwet Levi elos mwet kol ke wiwa kako ac karingin mwet su oru kutu pac orekma saya, ac kutu selos mwet sim ac mwet topang mutunpot uh.
Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and set forward all who did the work in every kind of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and gatekeepers.
14 Ke pacl se utukla mani liki iwen filma, Hilkiah el konauk book in Ma Sap lun LEUM GOD— Ma Sap su God El tuh sang nu sel Moses.
When they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found the scroll of the law of the LORD given by Moses.
15 El fahk nu sel Shaphan, “Nga konauk book in Ma Sap se inge in Tempul,” ac el sang book sac nu sel Shaphan,
Hilkiah answered Shaphan the scribe, "I have found the scroll of the law in the house of the LORD." Hilkiah delivered the scroll to Shaphan.
16 ac Shaphan el usla nu yurin tokosra ac fahk, “Kut orala tari ma nukewa ma kom sapkin.
Shaphan carried the scroll to the king, and moreover brought back word to the king, saying, "All that was committed to your servants, they are doing.
17 Kut usla mani ma orekeni oan in Tempul, ac sang nu sin mwet orekma ac mwet kol lalos.”
They have emptied out the money that was found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of the workmen."
18 Na el sifilpa fahk, “Book se pa Hilkiah el se nu sik inge.” Ac el riti nu sin tokosra.
Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, "Hilkiah the priest has given me a scroll." Shaphan read it before the king.
19 Ke tokosra el lohng ma ritiyuk in book sac, el oela ac seya nuknuk lal.
It happened, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he tore his clothes.
20 Ac el sapla nu sel Hilkiah, ac Ahikam wen natul Shaphan, ac Abdon wen natul Micaiah, ac Shaphan mwet sim inkul lun tokosra, ac Asaiah mwet tutafpo fulat lal tokosra, ac fahk ouinge:
The king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Acbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying,
21 “Kowos som inek ac inen mwet su srakna muta in Israel ac Judah, ac siyuk sin LEUM GOD lah mea kalmen mwe luti su oan in book se inge. LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sesr, mweyen mwet matu lasr elos tia akos kas lun LEUM GOD, ac elos tia oru ma book se inge fahk in orek.”
"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 wrath of the LORD that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do according to all that is written in this scroll."
22 Ke sripen sap se lal tokosra inge, Hilkiah ac mwet welul elos som lolngok nu sin mutan palu se pangpang Huldah, su muta in acn sasu in Jerusalem. (Mukul tumal pa Shallum wen natul Tikvah, wen natul Harhas, ac el pa liyaung nuknuk mutal in Tempul.) Elos aketeya nu sin mutan sac ke ma sikyak,
So Hilkiah and those whom the king had sent went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter; ) and they spoke to her to that effect.
23 na el fahk nu selos mu elos in folokla nu yurin tokosra ac sang
She said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: 'Tell the man who sent you to me,
24 kas lun LEUM GOD inge nu sel, su fahk, “Nga fah kalyei Jerusalem ac mwet nukewa we ke mwe selnga su simla ke book se ma ritiyuk nu sel tokosra.
"Thus says the LORD, 'Look, I will bring disaster on this place, and on its inhabitants, even all the curses that are written in the scroll which they have read before the king of Judah.
25 Elos ngetla likiyu ac orek kisa nu sin god saya, ac ouinge elos akkasrkusrakyeyu ke ma nukewa elos orala. Kasrkusrak luk tayak lain Jerusalem, na ac fah tia kunla.
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 is my wrath poured out on this place, and it shall not be quenched.'"'
26 Ac nu sel tokosra, pa inge ma nga, LEUM GOD lun Israel, ac fahk: Kom tuh lohng ma simla in book sac,
But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus you shall tell him, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: "As touching the words which you have heard,
27 ac kom auliyak ac akpusiselye kom ye mutuk. Kom salik nuknuk lom ac tung ke kom lohng ma nga akola in oru in kalyei Jerusalem ac mwet we. Nga lohng pre lom,
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 ouinge mwe kalya se su nga akoo nu sin Jerusalem, ac fah tia orek nwe ke tukun kom misa. Nga fah lela tuh kom in misa in misla.” Na mwet inge us kas inge ac folokla nu yorol Tokosra Josiah.
"Look, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, neither shall your eyes see all the disaster that I will bring on this place, and on its inhabitants."'" They brought back word to the king.
29 Tokosra Josiah el pangon mwet kol nukewa lun Judah ac Jerusalem,
Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
30 ac elos tukeni welul som nu ke Tempul. Mwet tol ac mwet Levi ac mwet nukewa saya, mwet kasrup ac mwet sukasrup oana sie, elos nukewa wi som. Ye mutun mwet inge nukewa, tokosra el riti book in wuleang sac nufon, ma tuh koneyukyak in Tempul.
The king went up to the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, both great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the scroll of the covenant that was found in the house of the LORD.
31 El tu ke sru soko ma sriyukla nu sin tokosra, ac orala sie wulela yurin LEUM GOD, in aksol ac karinganang ma sap ac oakwuk lal ke insial kewa ac ke ngunal kewa, ac in moulkin ma nukewa ma oan ke wulela sac, oana ke simla in book sac.
The king stood in his place, 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 with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this scroll.
32 El oru tuh mwet Benjamin ac mwet nukewa saya su wi tukeni in Jerusalem, elos in wulela tuh elos fah karinganang wuleang se inge. Ouinge mwet Jerusalem elos akos ma nukewa ma oakwuki ke wuleang se ma elos orala yurin God lun papa tumalos.
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 Tokosra Josiah el kunausla nufon ma sruloala fohkfok ma oan in acn lun mwet Israel. Na ke lusen pacl el moul, el sapkin mwet uh in kulansupu LEUM GOD lun papa matu tumalos.
Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained 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 did not depart from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
