2 Tantara 34

1 Valo taona Josia, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary iraika amby telo-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.

Iosiah was eight yeere olde when hee began to reigne, and he reigned in Ierusalem one and thirtie yeere.

2 Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy ka nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ i Davida rainy, fa tsy mba nivily na ho amin’ ny ankavanana na ho amin’ ny ankavia.

And he did vprightly in the sight of ye Lord, and walked in the wayes of Dauid his father, and bowed neither to the right hand nor to the left.

3 Fa tamin’ ny taona fahavalo nanjakany, raha mbola zatovolahy izy, dia niantomboka nitady an’ Andriamanitr’ i Davida rainy; ary tamin’ ny taona faharoa ambin’ ny folo kosa dia niantomboka nanadio an’ i Joda sy Jerosalema izy mba tsy hisy fitoerana avo, na Aseraha, na sarin-javatra voasokitra, na sarin-javatra an-idina intsony.

And in the eight yeere of his reigne (when he was yet a childe) he began to seeke after the God of Dauid his father: and in the twelft yeere he began to purge Iudah, and Ierusalem from the hie places, and the groues, and the carued images, and molten images:

4 Ary noravan’ ny olona teo anatrehan’ i Josia ny alitaran’ ireo Bala; ary ny tsangan-kazo ho an’ ny masoandro izay teo amboniny dia nokapainy; ary ny Aseraha sy ny sarin-javatra voasokitra mbamin’ ny sarin-javatra an-idina dia novakivakiny sy notorotoroiny ho vovoka ka nafafiny teny amin’ ny fasan’ ireo efa namono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho azy.

And they brake downe in his sight the altars of Baalim, and hee caused to cut downe the images that were on hie vpon them: he brake also the groues, and the carued images, and the molten images, and stampt them to pouder, and strowed it vpon the graues of them that had sacrificed vnto them.

5 Ary nandoro ny taolan’ ny mpisorona teo ambonin’ ny alitarany izy, ka dia nanadio an’ i Joda sy Jerosalema.

Also he burnt the bones of the Priests vpon their altars, and purged Iudah and Ierusalem.

6 Ary tany amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Manase sy ny Efraima ary ny Simeona hatrany amin’ ny Naftaly, dia tao an-tanànany izay rava,

And in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, euen vnto Naphtali, with their maules they brake all round about.

7 dia noravany koa ny alitara sy ny Aseraha; ary ny sarin-javatra voasokitra nomongomongoiny ho vovoka; ary ny tsangan-kazo ho an’ ny masoandro eran’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely rehetra dia nokapainy; ary dia niverina ho any Jerosalema izy.

And when he had destroyed the altars and the groues, and had broken and stamped to pouder the images, and had cut downe all the idoles throughout all the land of Israel, hee returned to Ierusalem.

8 Ary tamin’ ny taona fahavalo ambin’ ny folo nanjakany, rehefa voadiony ny tany sy ny trano, dia naniraka an’ i Safana, zanak’ i Azalia, sy Mahaseia, komandin’ ny tanàna, ary Joa, zanak’ i Joahaza, mpitadidy ny raharaham-panjakana, izy mba hamboatra ny tranon’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny.

Then in the eightenth yere of his reigne, when hee had purged the lande and the Temple, he sent Shaphan the sonne of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the gouernour of the citie, and Ioah the sonne of Ioahaz the recorder, to repaire the house of the Lord his God.

9 Ary rehefa tonga teo amin’ i Hilkia mpisoronabe izy, dia natolony ny vola izay nampidirina tao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra, izay efa nangonin’ ny Levita, mpiandry varavarana, tamin’ ny Manase sy ny Efraima sy ny sisa rehetra tamin’ ny Isiraely, ary tamin’ ny Joda sy ny Benjamina rehetra sy ny mponina tany Jerosalema.

And when they came to Hilkiah the hie Priest, they deliuered ye money that was brought into the house of God, which the Leuites that kept the doore, had gathered at the hand of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and of all the residue of Israel, and of all Iudah and Beniamin, and of the inhabitantes of Ierusalem.

10 Ary natolony ho eo an-tanan’ ny lehiben’ ny mpiasa izay voatendry hitandrina ny amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izany, ary natolotr’ ireo kosa ho an’ ny mpiasa izay niasa tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah hanamboarana sy hanamafiana ny trano;

And they put it in the hands of them that should doe the worke and had the ouersight in the house of the Lord: and they gaue it to the workemen that wrought in the house of ye Lord, to repaire and amend the house.

11 dia nomeny ho an’ ny mpandrafitra sy ry mpandatsa-bato hamidy vato voapaika sy hazo hatao sakamandimby sy lampihazo ho amin’ ny trano izay nosimban’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda.

Euen to the workemen and to the builders gaue they it, to bye hewed stone and timber for couples and for beames of the houses, which the Kings of Iudah had destroyed.

12 Ary ny olona dia nanao ny asa araka izay mety hatao; ary ny voatendry hifehy azy dia lahata sy Obadia Levita, avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Merary, ary Zakaria sy Mesolama, avy tamin’ ny taranaky ny Kehatita, ary ny Levita rehetra izay nahay ny zava-maneno isan-karazany,

And the men did the worke faithfully, and the ouerseers of them were Iahath and Obadiah the Leuites, of the children of Merari, and Zechariah, and Meshullam, of the children of the Kohathites to set it forward: and of the Leuites all that could skill of instruments of musike.

13 dia ireo no tonian’ ny mpitondra entana sady nifehy izay rehetra nanao raharaha tamin’ ny tao-zavatra samy hafa rehetra; ary avy tamin’ ny Levita koa nisy mpanoratra sy mpifehy ary mpiandry varavarana.

And they were ouer the bearers of burdens, and them that set forwarde all the workemen in euery worke: and of the Leuites were scribes, and officers and porters.

14 Ary raha namoaka ny vola izay nampidirina tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah izy, Hilkia mpisorona dia nahita ny bokin’ ny lalàn’ i Jehovah, ilay nampilazaina an’ i Mosesy.

And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the Lord, Hilkiah the Priest found the booke of the Lawe of the Lord giuen by the hand of Moses.

15 Ary niteny Hilkia ka nanao tamin’ i Safana mpanoratra hoe: Ny bokin’ ny lalàna dia hitako tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah. Dia natolotr’ i Hilkia an’ i Safana ny boky.

Therefore Hilkiah answered and sayde to Shaphan the chaceler, I haue found the booke of the Law in the house of the Lord: and Hilkiah gaue the booke to Shaphan.

16 Ary Safana nitondra ny boky ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka sady nilaza taminy hoe: Izay rehetra nasaina nataon’ ny mpanomponao dia nataony avokoa.

And Shaphan caried the booke to the King, and brought the King worde againe, saying, All that is committed to the hand of thy seruants, that do they.

17 Ary narotsany ny vola izay azo tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ka natolony teo an-tànan’ ny olona voatendry sy teo an-tànan’ ny mpiasa.

For they haue gathered the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and haue deliuered it into the handes of the ouerseers, and to the handes of the workemen.

18 Ary Safana mpanoratra nilaza koa tamin’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Misy boky nomen’ i Hilkia mpisorona ahy. Dia novakin’ i Safana teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka ny boky.

Also Shaphan ye chanceler declared to the King, saying, Hilkiah the Priest hath giuen mee a booke, and Shaphan read it before the King.

19 Ary rehefa ren’ ny mpanjaka ny tenin’ ny lalàna, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy

And when the King had heard the wordes of the Lawe, he tare his clothes.

20 sady nandidy an’ i Hilkia sy Ahikama, zanak’ i Safana, sy Abdona, zanak’ i Mika, sy Safana mpanoratra ary Asaia, mpanompon’ andriana, ka nanao hoe:

And the King commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan, and Abdon the sonne of Micah, and Shaphan the chanceler, and Asaiah the Kings seruant, saying,

21 Andeha manontany amin’ i Jehovah ho ahy sy izay sisa amin’ ny Isiraely sy ny Joda ny amin’ ny tenin’ io boky vao hita; fa mafy ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah naidiny amintsika noho ny tsy nitandreman’ ny razantsika ny tenin’ i Jehovah hanao araka izay rehetra voasoratra amin’ io boky io.

Goe and enquire of the Lord for me, and for the rest in Israel and Iudah, concerning the wordes of this booke that is founde: for great is the wrath of the Lord that is fallen vpon vs, because our fathers haue not kept the worde of the Lord, to doe after all that is written in this booke.

22 Ary Hilkia sy izay notendren’ ny mpanjaka dia nankany amin’ i Holda mpaminanivavy, vadin’ i Saloma, zanak’ i Tokehata, zanak’ i Hasra, mpitahiry ny fitafiana (fa nitoetra tany Jerosalema tao amin’ ny tanàna ambany ravehivavy) ary niresaka izany taminy izy ireo.

Then Hilkiah and they that the King had appoynted, went to Huldah the Prophetesse ye wife of Shallum, the sonne of Tokhath, the sonne of Hasrah keeper of the wardrobe (and she dwelt in Ierusalem within the colledge) and they communed hereof with her.

23 Dia hoy ravehivavy taminy: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Lazao amin’ izay lehilahy naniraka anareo tatỳ amiko hoe:

And shee answered them, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Tell yee the man that sent you to me,

24 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, Izaho hahatonga loza amin’ ity tanàna ity sy amin’ ny mponina eto, dia ny ozona rehetra izay voasoratra ao amin’ ilay boky efa novakina teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda.

Thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I will bring euill vpon this place, and vpon the inhabitantes thereof, euen all the curses, that are written in the booke which they haue read before the King of Iudah:

25 Satria nahafoy Ahy izy ka nandoro ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ ireny andriamani-kafa sady nampahatezitra Ahy amin’ izay rehetra nataon’ ny tànany, dia haidina amin’ ity tanana ity ny fahatezerako ka tsy hosakanana.

Because they haue forsaken me, and burnt incense vnto other gods, to anger mee with al the workes of their hands, therefore shall my wrath fall vpon this place, and shall not be quenched.

26 Fa ny amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda kosa izay naniraka anareo hanontany amin’ i Jehovah, dia ambarao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Ny amin’ ny teny izay efa novakinao,

But to the King of Iudah, who sent you to enquire of the Lord, so shall ye say vnto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The words which thou hast heard, shall come to passe.

27 satria nino anatra ianao ka nanetry tena teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra, raha nandre ny teniny ny amin’ ity tanàna ity sy ny mponina eto, eny, satria nanetry tena teo anatrehako ianao ka nandriatra ny fitafianao sady nitomany teo anatrehako, dia Izaho efa nihaino, hoy Jehovah.

But because thine heart did melt, and thou didest humble thy selfe before God, when thou heardest his wordes against this place and against the inhabitantes thereof, and humbledst thy selfe before mee and tarest thy clothes, and weptest before mee, I haue also heard it, sayth the Lord.

28 Koa, indro, hangoniko any amin’ ny razanao ianao ary hangonina any amin’ ny fasanao amin’ ny fiadanana, ka ny masonao dia tsy mba hahita izay loza rehetra ho entiko mamely ity tanàna ity sy ny mponina eto. Dia nitondra valiny ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka izy ireo.

Beholde, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt bee put in thy graue in peace, and thine eyes shall not see all the euill, which I will bring vpon this place, and vpon the inhabitants of the same. Thus they brought ye King word againe.

29 Ary ny mpanjaka naniraka olona ka nampivory ny loholon’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema rehetra.

Then the King sent and gathered all the Elders of Iudah and Ierusalem.

30 Dia niakatra ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ny mpanjaka sy ny lehilahy rehetra tamin’ ny Joda sy ny mponina tany Jerosalema mbamin’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ary ny vahoaka rehetra, na lehibe na kely; dia novakiny teo anatrehany ny teny rehetra teo amin’ ny bokin’ ny fanekena, izay hita tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.

And the King went vp into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and the Priests and the Leuites, and all the people from the greatest to the smallest, and hee read in their eares all the wordes of the booke of the couenant that was found in the house of the Lord.

31 Ary ny mpanjaka nitsangana teo amin’ ny fitoeran’ andriana, dia nanao fanekena teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah hanaraka Azy sy hitandrina ny lalàny sy ny teni-vavolombelony ary ny didiny amin’ ny fony rehetra sy ny fanahiny rehetra, hankatò ny tenin’ ny fanekena izay voasoratra ao amin’ izany boky izany,

And the King stood by his pillar, and made a couenant before the Lord, to walke after the Lord, and to keepe his commandements, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soule, and that he would accomplish the wordes of the couenant written in the same booke.

32 sady nampifikiriny tsara koa ny olona rehetra tany Jerosalema sy ny Benjamina. Ary ny mponina tany Jerosalema dia nanao araka ny faneken’ Andriamanitra, dia Andriamanitry ny razany

And he caused all that were found in Ierusalem, and Beniamin to stande to it: and the inhabitants of Ierusalem did according to the couenant of God, euen the God of their fathers.

33 Ary Josia nanaisotra ny fahavetavetana rehetra tamin’ ny tany rehetra izay an’ ny Zanak’ isiraely sady nandidy izay rehetra teo amin’ ny Isiraely hanompo an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny. Tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainan’ i Josia dia tsy mba niala tamin’ ny fanarahana an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, ny olona.

So Iosiah tooke away al the abominations out of all the countreis that perteined to the children of Israel, and compelled all that were found in Israel, to serue the Lord their God: so all his dayes they turned not backe from the Lord God of their fathers.
