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.

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 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.

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 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:

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 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 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 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,

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 dia ho an’ ny mpandrafitra sy ny mpandatsa-bato ary ny mpipaika, dia hividianana hazo sy vato voapaika hanamboarana ny trano.

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

7 Kanefa tsy nampamoahina ny amin’ ny vola natolotra teo an-tànany ireo, fa nahatoky izy.

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

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 Ary rehefa ren’ ny mpanjaka ny teny tao amin’ ilay bokin’ ny lalàna, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy.

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

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 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 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 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.

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 Ary hoy ravehivavy taminy Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Lazao amin’ ny lehilahy izay naniraka anareo ho atỳ amiko hoe:

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 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.

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 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.

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 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 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 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 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 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.

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.
