2 Tantara 34
1 Valo taoñe t’Iosià te namototse nifehe, le nifehe telopolo taoñe raik’ amby e Ierosalaime ao;
Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
2 naho nanao ze fahiti’e am-pihaino’ Iehovà naho nañavelo an-tsata’ i Davide rae’e vaho tsy nivike mb’ am-pitàn-kavana ndra havia.
He did that which was right in Yahweh’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 amy taom-paha-valo’ i fifehea’ey, ie mbe tora’e, le niorotse nipay an’ Andrianañahare’ i Davide rae’e; le amy taom-paha-folo-ro’ambi’ey ty namotora’e fañondrok’ am’ Iehodà naho am’ Ierosalaime ze tamboho naho Asere naho sare-sokitse vaho sare-trinanake.
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 Rinoba’ iareo añatrefa’e o kitrlem-baaleo, le finira’e o sare’ i àndroy ambone’ iareoo; le dinemo’e ho deboke o Asereo naho o sare-sokitseo naho o sare trinanakeo vaho nabobò’e an-kibori’ o nisoroñe ama’eo.
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 Le finorototo’e amo kitreli’eo ty taola’ o mpisoroñeo vaho nondrohe’e t’Iehoda naho Ierosalaime.
He burned the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
6 Nanoe’e izay ka o rova’ i Menasè naho i Efraime naho i Simeoneo pake Naftalý añe naho o tanan-taolo nañohoke iareoo.
He did this in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, around in their ruins.
7 Le rinoba’e o kitrelio naho dinemo’e ho deboke o Asereo naho o sare-sokitseo naho fonga finira’e o sare’ i àndroy an-tane’ Israele iabio vaho nimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo.
He broke down the altars, beat the Asherah poles and the engraved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel, then returned to Jerusalem.
8 Ie amy taom-paha-folo-valo’ ambi’ i fifehea’ey, ie fa nañalio i taney naho i anjombay, le nirahe’e mb’amy Safane ana’ i Atsaliaho naho i Maaseià bei’ i rovay naho Ioake ana’ Ioakaze mpamolily, ty hañamboatse ty anjomba’ Iehovà Andrianañahare.
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 Yahweh his God.
9 Le nimb’ amy Kilkià mpisorom-bey mb’eo iereo nanese o drala nampiziliheñe añ’ anjomban’ Añahareo, ze natonto’ o nte-Levy mpiamben-dalañeo am-pità’ i Menasè naho amy Efraime naho amo sehanga’ Israele iabio naho amy Iehodà miharo amy Beniamine iaby vaho amo mpimoneñe e Ierosalaimeo.
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 Le natolo’ iereo am-pità’ o mpitoloñe nisary añ’ anjomba’ Iehovào; vaho natolo’ iereo amo mpamboatse nifanehak’ amy anjomba’ Iehovày hanosoha’e naho hampisomontie’e i anjombay;
They delivered it into the hands of the workmen who had the oversight of Yahweh’s house; and the workmen who labored in Yahweh’s house gave it to mend and repair the house.
11 natolo’ iereo amo mpandranjio naho amo mpamboatseo, hikaloa’ iareo vato vinàñe naho hatae ho famitrañañe naho handranjiañe sàzoke o traño narotsa’ o mpanjaka’ Iehodao.
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 Nifanehak’ am-pigahiñañe ondatio; le nisary iareo t’Ikate naho i Obadià, nte’ Levy amo ana’ i Merario; le niaolo iareo t’i Zekarià naho i Mesolame anan’ te-Kohate naho ze hene nte-Levy naha-fititike sabo.
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 skillful with musical instruments.
13 Nisarie’ iereo ka o mpijiny kilankañeo naho niaolo amy ze fitoloñañe amy ze karazan’ asa iaby; le nimpanokitse naho mpifehe vaho mpañambeñe ty ila’ o nte-Levio.
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 Aa ie nakare’ iereo i drala nampiziliheñe añ’anjomba’ Iehovày, le nioni’ i Kilkià, mpisoroñe ty boke Hà’ Iehovà tinolo’ i Mosè.
When they brought out the money that was brought into Yahweh’s house, Hilkiah the priest found the book of Yahweh’s law given by Moses.
15 Le hoe ty nisaontsia’ i Kilkià amy Safane, mpanokitse, Fa nitreako añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao i boke Hàkey vaho natolo’ i Kilkià amy Safane i bokey.
Hilkiah answered Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in Yahweh’s house.” So Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.
16 Le nendese’ i Safane amy mpanjakay i bokey vaho nanovon-tsaontsy amy mpanjakay ami’ty hoe; Fa nihenefa’ o mpitoro’o iabio ze nafantok’ am’iereo.
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 Le fa natonto’ iareo i drala nitendrek’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovày vaho fa natolo’ iareo am-pità’ o mpisario naho am-pità’ o mpitoloñeo.
They have emptied out the money that was found in Yahweh’s house, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers and into the hand of the workmen.”
18 Le nitaroñe’ i Safane amy mpanjakay ty hoe: Nanolotse boke ahy t’i Kilkià mpisoroñe. Vaho vinaki’ i Safane añatrefa’ i mpanjakaio.
Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book.” Shaphan read from it to the king.
19 Ie jinanji’ i mpanjakay ty enta’ i Hake, le niriate’e o siki’eo.
When the king had heard the words of the law, he tore his clothes.
20 Le linili’ i mpanjakay t’i Kilkià naho i Akikame ana’ i Safane naho i Abdone, ana’ i Mikà naho i Safane mpanokitse naho i Asaià mpitoro’ i mpanjakay, ami’ty 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 Akia, añontaneo Iehovà ho ahy naho ho amy ze sisa’ Israele naho Iehoda, o tsara’ i boke nitendrekeio; fa ra’elahy ty haviñera’ Iehovà hidoandoañe amantika, amy te tsy nitana’ o roaentikañeo ty tsara’ Iehovà, hanoa’ iareo ze hene sinokitse amy bokey.
“Go inquire of Yahweh 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 Yahweh’s wrath that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept Yahweh’s word, to do according to all that is written in this book.”
22 Aa le nimb’ amy Koldà mpitoky (mpimoneñe amy efe’ Ierosalaime faharoe ao), vali’ i Salome ana’ i Tokate, ana’ i Kasrà mpamandroñe i fañajan-tsaroñey, t’i Kilkià naho i tinendre’ i mpanjakay rey nitaroñe izay.
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 Le hoe re am’ iereo: Hoe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele, taroño am’ indaty nañitrik’ anahareo amakoy:
She said to them, “Yahweh, the God of Israel says: ‘Tell the man who sent you to me,
24 Hoe t’Iehovà: Ingo, hametsahako hankàñe ty toetse toy naho o mpimone’eo, le ze hene fatse sinokitse amy boke vinaki’ iareo añatrefa’ i mpanjaka’ Iehodaiy;
“Yahweh 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 amy t’ie nifary ahy naho nañemboke aman-drahare ila’e; toly ndra hadoañe ami’ty toetse toy ty habosehako vaho tsy hakipe.
Because they have forsaken me, and have burned 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 Fe i mpanjaka’ Iehodà nañirak’ anahareo hañontane am’ Iehovày, ty hanoe’ areo ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele: Ty amo tsara vinaki’oo,
But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Yahweh, you shall tell him this, ‘Yahweh, the God of Israel says: “About the words which you have heard,
27 kanao nitrotrotrotro añ’arofo irehe naho nirè-bathe añatrefan’ Añahare, ihe nijanjiñe i tsaraeñe ty toetse toy zay, naho ty amo mpimone’eo naho nidrakadrakak’ amako naho nandria-tsaroñe vaho nirovetse añ’ atrefako, le tsinanoko, hoe t’Iehovà.
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 Yahweh.
28 Oniño t’ie havoriko aman-droae’o le hasese mb’an-kibori’o an-kanintsiñe vaho tsy ho isam-pihaino’o ze fonga hankàñe hafetsako ami’ty toetse toy naho amo mpimone’eo. Aa le nahere’ iareo amy mpanjakay i tsaray.
“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 Aa le nampañitrike i mpanjakay vaho natonto’e iaby o androanavi’ Iehoda naho Ierosalaimeo.
Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
30 Le nimb’ amy anjomba’ Iehovày mb’eo i mpanjakay naho ondati’ Iehoda iabio naho o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo naho o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio naho ze fonga ondaty, ty bey naho ty kede; le vinaki’e an-dravembia’ iareo o hene tsara’ i bokem-pañina nizoeñe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovày.
The king went up to Yahweh’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 Yahweh’s house.
31 Nijohañe amy toe’ey i mpanjakay, le nifañina añatrefa’ Iehovà, t’ie hañavelo am-pañorihañe Iehovà naho hambenañe o lili’eo naho o fitaroña’eo naho o fañè’eo, an-kaàmpon’ arofo naho an-kaliforam-pañova vaho hanao o tsaram-pañina sinokitse amy bokeio.
The king stood in his place and made a covenant before Yahweh, to walk after Yahweh, 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 Le nampiongahe’e ze hene nizoeñe e Ierosalaime naho e Beniamine ao. Aa le norihe’ o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo i fañinan’ Añahare, Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareoy.
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 Le fonga nafaha’ Iosià ty haloloañe amy ze hene tane’ o ana’ Israeleo, le songa nampitoroñe’e o nizoeñe e Israeleo, hitoroñe Iehovà Andrianañahare, vaho tsy nivik’ amy fañorihañe Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareoy amo hene andro’eo iereo.
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 Yahweh their God. All his days they didn’t depart from following Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
