Luo Tokosra 22

1 Josiah el yac oalkosr ke el tokosrala lun Judah, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac tolngoul sie. Nina kial pa Jedidah acn natul Adaiah, sie mwet in siti srisrik Bozkath.

Eight years old was Josiah when he became king, and thirty and one years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yedidah, the daughter of 'Adayah of Bozkath.

2 Josiah el oru ma LEUM GOD El insewowo kac. El fahsr tukun ma Tokosra David, papa matu tumal, el oru ke el arulana akos ma sap nukewa lun God.

And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right or to the left.

3 In yac aksingoul oalkosr ke Josiah el tokosra, el supwalla Shaphan, mwet sim inkul lun tokosra su wen natul Azaliah ac nutin natul Meshullam, nu in Tempul ac fahk ouinge nu sel,

And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azalyahu, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the Lord, saying,

4 “Fahla nwe yorol Mwet Tol Fulat Hilkiah, ac siyuk sel ke lupan mani ma mwet tol ma orekma ke nien utyak nu in Tempul uh orani sin mwet uh.

Go up to Chilkiyahu the high-priest, that he may collect up all the money which is brought into the house of the Lord, which the door-keepers have gathered from the people:

5 Fahkang nu sel elan sang mani an nu sin mwet ma kol onon ke Tempul ah. Elos in sang molela

And let them deliver it into the hand of those who overlook the workmen, that have been appointed as overseers of the house of the Lord; and let them give it to those who do the work who are in the house of the Lord, to repair the breaches of the house:

6 mwet kamtu, mwet musa, mwet akmusra, oayapa moli sak ac eot ma orekmakinyuk ke onon lalos ah.

Unto the carpenters, and the builders, and the masons, and to buy timber and hewn stones to repair the house.

7 Mwet karingin orekma uh elos arulana suwohs ke orekma lalos, pwanang tia eneneyuk elos in aketeya orekmakinyen mani uh selos.”

Nevertheless shall there be no reckoning made with them for the money that is delivered into their hand, because they deal faithfully.

8 Shaphan el usla sap soko lal tokosra inge nu sel Hilkiah, ac Hilkiah el fahkang nu sel lah el konauk Book in Ma Sap ah in Tempul. Hilkiah el sang book sac nu sel, ac Shaphan el riti.

And Chilkiyahu the high-priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, A book of the law have I found in the house of the Lord. And Chilkiyah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.

9 Na el folokla nu yurin tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Mwet kulansap lom elos usla tari mani ma oan in Tempul, ac sang nu sin mwet kol orekma in onon sac.”

And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have taken out all the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of those who overlook the workmen, that have been appointed overseers of the house of the Lord.

10 Ac el sifilpa fahk, “Book se pa Hilkiahel se nu sik inge.” Na el riti nu sel tokosra.

And Shaphan the scribe also told the king, saying, A book hath Chilkiyahu the priest given me. And Shaphan read it before the king.

11 Ke tokosra el lohng ke ritiyuk book sac, el fosrnga kac ac salik nuknuk lal,

And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.

12 na el sapla nu sel Hilkiah mwet tol, nu sel Ahikam wen natul Shaphan, nu sel Achbor wen natul Micaiah, nu sel Shaphan mwet sim inkul sin tokosra, ac nu sel Asaiah mwet tutafpo fulat lun tokosra, ac fahk ouinge:

And the king commanded Chilkiyah the priest, and Achikam the son of Shaphan, and 'Achbor the son of Michayah, and Shaphan the scribe, and 'Assahyah a servant of the king's, saying,

13 “Fahla aolyu ac mwet nukewa lun Judah, ac siyuk sin LEUM GOD lah mea kalmen mwe luti in book se inge. LEUM GOD lah mea kalmen mwe luti in book se inge. LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sesr mweyen mwet matu lasr meet ah elos tiana oru ma book se inge fahk in orek.”

Go ye, inquire of the Lord in my behalf, and in behalf of the people, and in behalf of all Judah, concerning the words of this book that hath been found; for great is the wrath of the Lord that hath been kindled against us, because our fathers did not hearken unto the words of this book, to do in accordance with all that is prescribed concerning us.

14 Hilkiah, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, ac Asaiah elos som in lolngok yurin mutan palu se pangpang Huldah, su muta in acn lalela sasu in Jerusalem. (Mukul tumal pa Shallum, wen natul Tikvah ac nutin natul Harhas. El pa liyaung nuknuk in alu lun Tempul.) Elos aketeya nu sel Huldah ma sikyak uh,

And Chilkiyahu the priest, and Achikam, and 'Achbor, and Shaphan, and 'Assahyah, went unto Chuldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah the son of Charchass, the keeper of the wardrobe; [now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the suburb; ] and they spoke unto her.

15 na el sap elos in folokla nu yorol tokosra, ac fahkak nu sel

And she said unto them, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Say unto the man that hath sent you to me,

16 kas inge sin LEUM GOD: “Nga ac fah kalyei acn Jerusalem ac mwet nukewa we, oana ma simla in book se tokosra el riti.

Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon its inhabitants, all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read;

17 Elos sisyula ac oru kisa lalos nu sin god saya, ac purakak kasrkusrak luk ke ma nukewa elos oru. Kasrkusrak luk arulana yohk lain Jerusalem, na ac fah tiana wanginla.

Because they have forsaken me, and have burnt incense unto other gods, in order to provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands: therefore is my wrath kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.

18 Nu sin tokosra sifacna, pa inge ma nga, LEUM GOD lun Israel, fahk uh: Kom lohng ma simla in book sac,

But with respect to the king of Judah who sendeth you to inquire of the Lord, thus shall ye say to him, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Concerning the words which thou hast heard;

19 ac kom auliyak ac sifacna akpusiselye kom ye mutuk, ac seya nuknuk lom ac tung ke kom lohng lah nga akola in kalyei Jerusalem ac mwet su muta we. Nga ac fah oru tuh acn Jerusalem in sie mwe aksangeng nu sin mwet in liye. Mwet uh ac fah orekmakin inen acn we oana sie kas in selnga. Tusruktu nga lohng pre lom an,

Because thy heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord, when thou heardest what I had spoken against this place, and against its inhabitants, that they should become an astonishment and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me: I also have heard it, saith the Lord.

20 ac mwe akkeok su nga akola in oru nu sin Jerusalem ac tia orekla nwe ke tukun kom misa. Nga ac fah lela kom in misa in misla.” Na mwet inge elos us kas inge ac folokla nu yorol Tokosra Josiah.

Therefore, behold, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered unto thy graves in peace; and thy eyes shall not look on all the evil which I am bringing over this place. And they brought the king word again.
