2 Tantara 34
1 Valo taona Josia, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary iraika amby telo-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.
Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
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.
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, and walked in the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn away to the right hand or 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.
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, the Asherah poles, the engraved images, and the 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.
They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; and he cut down the incense altars that were on high above them. He broke the Asherah poles, the engraved images, and the molten images in pieces, made dust of them, and scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
5 Ary nandoro ny taolan’ ny mpisorona teo ambonin’ ny alitarany izy, ka dia nanadio an’ i Joda sy Jerosalema.
He burnt the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
6 Ary tany amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Manase sy ny Efraima ary ny Simeona hatrany amin’ ny Naftaly, dia tao an-tanànany izay rava,
He did this in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, around in their ruins.
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.
He broke down the altars, beat the Asherah poles and the engraved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all Eretz-Israel, then returned to Jerusalem.
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.
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder to repair 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.
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 from the hands of Manasseh, Ephraim, of all the remnant of Israel, of all Judah and Benjamin, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
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;
They delivered it into the hands of the workmen who had the oversight of the LORD’s house; and the workmen who laboured in the LORD’s house gave it to mend and repair 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.
They gave it to the carpenters and to the builders to buy cut stone and timber for couplings, and to make beams for the houses which the kings of Judah 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,
The men did the work faithfully. Their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to give direction; and others of the Levites, who were all skilful with musical instruments.
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.
Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and directed all who did the work in every kind of service. Of the Levites, there were scribes, officials, and gatekeepers.
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.
When they brought out the money that was brought into the LORD’s house, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the LORD’s law given by 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.
Hilkiah answered Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the scroll of the Torah in the LORD’s house.” So Hilkiah delivered the book 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.
Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought back word to the king, saying, “All that was committed to your servants, they are doing.
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.
They have emptied out the money that was found in the LORD’s house, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers and into the hand of the workmen.”
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.
Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book.” Shaphan read from it to the king.
19 Ary rehefa ren’ ny mpanjaka ny tenin’ ny lalàna, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy
When the king had heard the words of the law, he tore 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:
The king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, 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.
“Go enquire 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 LORD’s wrath that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the LORD’s word, to do according to all that is written in this book.”
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.
So Hilkiah and those whom the king had commanded went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter), and they spoke to her to that effect.
23 Dia hoy ravehivavy taminy: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Lazao amin’ izay lehilahy naniraka anareo tatỳ amiko hoe:
She said to them, “The LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘Tell the man who 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.
“The LORD says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah.
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 have forsaken me, and have burnt incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands, therefore my wrath is poured out on this place, and it will 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 Judah, who sent you to enquire of the LORD, you shall tell him this, ‘The LORD, the God of Israel says: “About the words which you have heard,
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.
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 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.
“Behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes won’t see all the evil that I will bring on this place and on its inhabitants.”’” They brought back this message to the king.
29 Ary ny mpanjaka naniraka olona ka nampivory ny loholon’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema rehetra.
Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
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.
The king went up to the LORD’s house with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem—the priests, the Levites, and all the people, both great and small—and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the LORD’s house.
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,
The king stood in his place and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, 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 book.
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
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 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.
Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that belonged 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 didn’t depart from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
