2 Mpanjaka 22
1 Valo taona Josia, fony vao nanjaka, ary iraika amby telo-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Jedida, zanakavavin’ i Adaia, avy any Bozkata.
Josiah was eight when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for thirty-one years. His mother's name was Jedidah, daughter of Adaiah. She came from Bozkath.
2 Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah kosa izy ka nandeha tamin’ izay rehetra nalehan’ i Davida rainy, fa tsy mba nivily, na ho amin’ ny ankavanana, na ho amin’ ny ankavia.
He did what was right in the Lord's sight, and followed all the ways of David his forefather—he did not deviate to the right or to the left.
3 Ary tamin’ ny taona fahavalo ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Josia mpanjaka, dia naniraka an’ i Safana mpanoratra, zanak’ i Azalia, zanak’ i Mesolama, izy ho any an-tranon’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe:
In the eighteenth year of his reign, Josiah sent Shaphan, son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, to the Lord's Temple. He said,
4 Miakara any amin’ i Hilkia mpisoronabe, hanisany ny vola izay nampidirina ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, dia izay nangonin’ ny mpiandry varavarana tamin’ ny olona;
“Go to Hilkiah the high priest and have him count the money the doorkeepers have collected from the people coming to the Lord's Temple.
5 ary aoka hatolony ho eo an-tànan’ ny mpanao raharaha izay voatendry ny amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izany; ary aoka homen’ ireo ho an’ ny mpiasa izay ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah hanamboarany ny simba amin’ ny trano,
Then hand it over to those who are supervising the work on Lord's Temple, and have them pay the workmen doing the repairing of the Lord's Temple,
6 dia ho an’ ny mpandrafitra sy ny mpandatsa-bato ary ny mpipaika, dia hividianana hazo sy vato voapaika hanamboarana ny trano.
the carpenters, the builders and the masons. In addition have them purchase timber and cut stone to repair the Temple.
7 Kanefa tsy nampamoahina ny amin’ ny vola natolotra teo an-tànany ireo, fa nahatoky izy.
Don't ask for any accounts from the men who received the money because they deal honestly.”
8 Dia hoy Hilkia mpisoronabe tamin’ i Safana mpanoratra: Ny bokin’ ny lalàna dia hitako tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah. Dia natolotr’ i Hilkia an’ i Safana ny boky ka novakiny.
Hilkiah the high priest told Shaphan the scribe, “I've found the Book of the Law in the Lord's Temple.” He gave it to Shaphan who read it.
9 Ary Safana mpanoratra niverina ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka nitondra valiny nanao hoe: Ny mpanomponao dia efa nandrotsaka ny vola izay azo tao an-trano ka nanolotra azy teo an-tànan’ ny mpanao raharaha izay voatendry ny amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
Shaphan the scribe went to the king and to give him a report, saying, “Your officials have paid out the money that was in the Lord's Temple and have handed it over to those appointed to supervise the work at the Lord's Temple.”
10 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.
Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” Shaphan read it to the king.
11 Ary rehefa ren’ ny mpanjaka ny teny tao amin’ ilay bokin’ ny lalàna, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy.
When the king heard what was in the book of the Law, he tore his clothes.
12 Ary ny mpanjaka nandidy an’ i Hilkia mpisorona sy Ahikama, zanak’ i Safana, sy Akbora, zanak’ i Mikaia, sy Safana mpanoratra ary Asaia, mpanompon’ andriana, hoe:
Then he gave orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, son of Shaphan, Acbor, son of Micaiah, Shaphan, the scribe, and Asaiah the king's assistant, saying,
13 Mandehana ianareo, ka manontania amin’ i Jehovah ho ahy sy ny vahoaka mbamin’ ny Joda rehetra ny amin’ ny tenin’ ity boky vao hita ity, fa mafy ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah izay mirehitra amintsika noho ny tsy nihainoan’ ny razantsika ny tenin’ ity boky ity hanao araka izay rehetra voasoratra ho antsika.
“Go and talk to the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all of Judah, about what is said in the book that's been found. For the Lord must be really angry with us, because our forefathers have not obeyed the Lord's instructions in this book; they have not been doing what is written there for us to do.”
14 Dia nandeha Hilkia mpisorona sy Ahikama sy Akbora sy Safana ary Asaia ka nankany amin’ i Holda mpaminanivavy, vadin’ i Saloma, zanak’ i Tikva, zanak’ i Harasa, mpitahiry ny fitafiana (fa nitoetra tao amin’ ny tanàna ambany tany Jerosalema ravehivavy); dia niresaka taminy izy ireo.
Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Acbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went and spoke to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, custodian of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the city's second quarter.
15 Ary hoy ravehivavy taminy Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Lazao amin’ ny lehilahy izay naniraka anareo ho atỳ amiko hoe:
She told them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me,
16 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, Izaho hahatonga loza amin’ ity tanàna ity sy amin’ ny mponina eto, dia araka izay rehetra lazain’ ny boky novakin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
this is what the Lord says: I am about to bring disaster down on this place and on its people, in accordance with everything written in the book that has been read to the king of Judah.
17 Satria nahafoy Ahy izy ary nandoro ditin-kazo manitra tamin’ izay andriamani-kafa ka nampahatezitra Ahy amin’ izay rehetra nataon’ ny tànany, dia mirehitra amin’ ity tanàna ity ny fahatezerako ka tsy hosakanana.
They have abandoned me and offered sacrifices to other gods, making me angry by everything they've done. My anger will be poured out upon this place and will not be stopped.
18 Fa ny amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda izay naniraka anareo hanontany amin’ i Jehovah kosa anefa, dia ambarao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Ny amin’ ny teny izay novakinao,
But tell the king of Judah who sent you to ask the Lord, tell him this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: As for what you heard read to you—
19 satria nino anatra ianao ka nanetry tena teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, raha nandre izay nolazaiko ny amin’ izay hanjo ity tanàna ity sy ny mponina eto dia ny handravana azy sy ny hahatongavany ho fanozonana ka nandriatra ny fitafianao sady nitomany teo anatrehako ianao, dia Izaho kosa efa nihaino, hoy Jehovah.
because you were receptive and repentant before God when you heard his warnings against this place and against its people—that would become desolate and a curse—and because you have torn your clothes and wept before me, I have also heard you, declares the Lord.
20 Koa, indro, hangoniko any amin’ ny razanao ianao ary hangonina any amin’ ny fasanao amin’ ny fiadanana; ary ny masonao tsy mba hahita izay loza rehetra ho entiko mamaly ity tanàna ity. Dia nitondra valiny ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka izy ireo.
All this will not happen until after you have died, and you will die in peace. You will not see all the disaster that I'm going to bring down on this place.” They went back to the king and gave him her response.
