2 Mpanjaka 23
1 Nampañitrike i mpanjakay, le natontoñ’ ama’e ze hene androanavi’ Iehoda naho Ierosalaimeo.
Then the king sent and got together all the responsible men of Judah and of Jerusalem.
2 Le nionjomb’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà mb’eo i mpanjakay rekets’ ondati’ Iehoda iabio naho ze fonga mpimone’ Ierosalaime naho mpisoroñe naho mpitoky, naho ze kila ondaty, ty kede naho ty bey, vaho hene vinaki’e an-dravembia’ iareo ze tsara amy bokem-pañina nitendrek’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovày.
And the king went up to the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah and all the people of Jerusalem, and the priests and the prophets and all the people, small and great; and they were present at his reading of the book of the law which had come to light in the house of the Lord.
3 Nijohañe ami’ty fahañe eo i mpanjakay naho nifañina añatrefa’ Iehovà, t’ie hañavelo am-pañorihañe Iehovà naho hiambeñe o lili’eo naho o taro’eo vaho o fañè’eo añ’ ampon’ arofo naho an-kaliforam-pañova, hahatafetera’e o tsara’ i fañina sinokitse amy bokeio; le niantofa’ o fonga ondatio i fañinay.
And the king took his place by the pillar, and made an agreement before the Lord, to go in the way of the Lord, and keep his orders and his decisions and his rules with all his heart and all his soul, and to keep the words of the agreement recorded in the book; and all the people gave their word to keep the agreement.
4 Linili’ i mpanjakay amy zao t’i Kilkià mpisoroñe naho o mpisoroñe am-pirimboñañe faha-roe naho o mpitan-dalambeio, ty hañakara’ iareo an-kivoho’ Iehovà ze fanake nanoeñe amy Baale naho an-tsamposampo naho amy valobohòn-dikerañey; le niforototoe’e alafe’ Ierosalaime an-kivo’ i Kidrone ao vaho nendese’e mb’e Betele añe ty laveno’e.
Then the king gave orders to Hilkiah, the chief priest, and to the priests of the second order, and to the keepers of the door, to take out of the house of the Lord all the vessels made for Baal and for the Asherah and for all the stars of heaven; and he had them burned outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and took the dust of them to Beth-el.
5 Nafotsa’e iaby o mpisorom-pahasive noriza’ o mpanjaka’ Iehodao hañenga amy ze toets’ abo amo rova’ Iehodào, naho amo toetse mañohoke Ierosalaimeo; le o nañenga amy Baale, amy àndroy, amy volañey, amo vasiañe mifamorohotseo, vaho amy valobohòn-dikerañeio.
And he put an end to the false priests, who had been put in their positions by the kings of Judah to see to the burning of offerings in the high places in the towns of Judah and the outskirts of Jerusalem, and all those who made offerings to Baal and to the sun and the moon and the twelve signs and all the stars of heaven.
6 Naaka’e añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà mb’ alafe’ Ierosalaime mb’eo, mb’an toraha’ i Kidroney o Aserào naho finorototo’e an-toraha’ i Kidrone ey naho dinemodemo’e ho bo vaho nafitse’e amo kibori’ o ana’ ondatio i debokey.
And he took the Asherah from the house of the Lord, outside Jerusalem to the stream Kidron, burning it by the stream and crushing it to dust, and he put the dust on the place where the bodies of the common people were put to rest.
7 Narotsa’e o kibohom-borololo añ’ila’ i anjomba’ Iehovày amy fanenoñan-drakemba o tèmen’ Aseràoy.
And he had the houses pulled down of those who were used for sex purposes in the house of the Lord, where women were making robes for the Asherah.
8 Fonga nakare’e amo rova’ Iehodao o mpisoroñeo naho nileore’e o toets’ abo nañemboha’ o mpisoroñeo mifototse e Geba pake Beeresebà vaho narotsa’e o toets’ abo am-pimoahañe i lalambei’ Iehosoà bein-tanañeio, am-pitàn-kavia an-dalambei’ i rovaio.
And he made all the priests from the towns of Judah come into Jerusalem, and he made unclean the high places where the priests had been burning offerings, from Geba to Beer-sheba; and he had the high places of the evil spirits pulled down which were by the doorway of Joshua, the ruler of the town, on the left side of the way into the town.
9 ie amy zao tsy nionjom-b’ amy kitreli’ Iehovà e Ierosalaimey añe o mpisoron-toets’aboo, f’ie nitrao-pikama mofo tsi-aman-dalivae amo rahalahi’eo.
Still the priests of the high places never came up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem; but they took their food of unleavened bread among their brothers.
10 Nileore’e ty Topete, am-bavatane’ i ana’ i Hinomey, tsy hampirangà’ ondaty añ’afo’ i Moleke ao ty ana-dahi’e ndra ty anak’ ampela’e.
And Topheth, in the valley of the sons of Hinnom, he made unclean, so that no man might make his son or his daughter go through the fire to Molech.
11 Nafaha’e o soavala noriza’ o mpanjaka’ Iehodao amy àndroy, am-pimoahañe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà, marine’ ty efe’ i Matane-meleke, vosie, am-pariparitse ey, vaho finorototo’e añ’ afo o sareten’ androo.
And he took away the horses which the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the way into the house of the Lord, by the room of Nathan-melech, the unsexed servant, which was in the outer part of the building, and the carriages of the sun he put on fire.
12 Le narotsa’ i mpanjakay i kitrely an-tafo’ i efetse ambone’ i Ahkaze namboare’ o mpanjaka’ Iehodaoy naho o kitreli’ i Menasè niranjie’e an-kiririsa roe’ i anjomba’ Iehovà eio le dinemodemo’e vaho nahifi’e an-torahan-Kidrone ao ty debo’e.
And the altars on the roof of the high room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord, were pulled down and crushed to bits, and the dust of them was put into the stream Kidron.
13 Le nileore’ i mpanjakay o tamboho aolo’ Ierosalaime am-pitàn-kavanan-kaboan-kaleorañeo, i namboare’ i Selomò mpanjaka’ Israele amy Astorete, ty haloloa’ o nte-Tsidoneo, naho amy Kemose, ty haloloa’ o nte-Moabeo vaho amy Milkome, ty haloloa’ o ana’ i Amoneo.
And the high places before Jerusalem, on the south side of the mountain of destruction, which Solomon, king of Israel, had made for Ashtoreth, the disgusting god of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh, the disgusting god of Moab, and for Milcom, the disgusting god of the children of Ammon, the king made unclean.
14 Dinoro-demo’e o saren-drahao naho finira’e o hazomangao, vaho natsafe’e taola’ ondaty o toe’eo.
The stone pillars were broken to bits and the wood pillars cut down, and the places where they had been were made full of the bones of the dead.
15 Le i kitrely e Beteley, naho i toets’ abo’ Iarovame namboare’ i ana’ i Nebate nampanan-kakeo Israeley; fonga narotsa’e i kitreliy naho i toets’ aboy, le finorototo’e i toets’ aboy, naho dinemodemo’e ho deboke vaho hinotomomo’e i Aserày.
And the altar at Beth-el, and the high place put up by Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel do evil, that altar and that high place were pulled down; and the high place was burned and crushed to dust and the Asherah was burned.
16 Ie nitolike t’Iosià, le niisa’e o kibory an-kaboañeio naho nampañitrife’e naho nakare’e amy kibory rey o taolañeo vaho finorototo’e ambone’ i kitreliy handeora’e aze, hambañe amy tsara’ Iehovà tsinei’ indatin’ Añahare nikoike irezaiy.
Then Josiah, turning round, saw on the mountain the places of the dead, and he sent and had the bones taken out of their places and burned on the altar, so making it unclean, as the Lord had said by the man of God when Jeroboam was in his place by the altar on that feast-day. And he, turning his eyes to the resting-place of the man of God who had given word of these things, said:
17 Aa hoe re, Lona’ ia o treakoo? Le hoe ondati’ i rovaio ama’e: Kibori’ indatin’ Añahare niheo mb’etoa boak’ Iehoda nitsey o raha anoe’o amy kitreli’ i Beteleioy.
What is that headstone I see over there? And the men of the town said to him, It is the resting-place of the man of God who came from Judah and gave word of all these things which you have done to the altar of Beth-el.
18 Le hoe re: Adono; ko apo’ areo ho tsiborè’ ondaty o taola’eo. Aa le nado’ iareo o taola’eo, rekets’ o taola’ i mpitoky boake Someroneio.
So he said, Let him be; let not his bones be moved. So they let his bones be with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria.
19 Nafaha’ Iosià iaby o anjomban-toets’ abo an-drova’ i Somerone namboare’ o mpanjaka’ Israeleo nampiviñetse Iehovào, le hene nanoe’e am’ iereo i nanoe’e e Beteley.
Then Josiah took away all the houses of the high places in the towns of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had put up, moving the Lord to wrath, and he did with them as he had done in Beth-el.
20 Fonga zinevo’e ambone kitrely eo o mpisoron-toets’ abo taoo naho noroa’e ambone’ iereo ty taola’ ondaty; vaho nimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo.
And all the priests of the high places there he put to death on the altars, burning the bones of the dead on them; and then he went back to Jerusalem.
21 Linili’ i mpanjakay o hene ondatio, ami’ty hoe: Ambeno i fihelañ’ ambone’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oy, i sinokitse amy bokem-pañinaiy.
And the king gave orders to all the people, saying, Keep the Passover to the Lord your God, as it says in this book of the law.
22 Aa le mboe lia’e tsy nanoeñe ty fihelañ’ ambone manahake izay boak’ añ’andro’ o mpizaka nizaka Israeleo ndra amo androm-panjaka’ Israeleo naho o mpanjaka’ Iehodào;
Truly, such a Passover had not been kept in all the days of the judges of Israel or of the kings of Israel or the kings of Judah;
23 amy taom-paha-folo-valo’ ambi’ Iosià mpanjakay ty nañambenañe i fihelañ’ ambone am’ Iehovày e Ierosalaime ao.
In the eighteenth year of the rule of King Josiah this Passover was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem.
24 Fonga nafaha’ Iosià ze mpandrombo angatse naho jiny naho terafime naho hazomanga vaho ze hene haloloañe nizoeñe an-tane’ Iehoda naho e Ierosalaime ao hamente ty enta’ i Hake sinokitse amy boke nioni’ i Kilkià mpisoroñey añ’anjomba’ Iehovà aoiy.
And all those who had control of spirits, and the wonder-workers, and the images, and the false gods, and all the disgusting things which were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, Josiah put away, so that he might give effect to the words of the agreement recorded in the book which Hilkiah the priest made discovery of in the house of the Lord.
25 Le tsy eo ty nañirinkiriñe aze amy ze mpanjaka niaolo aze, ie nitolik’ am’ Iehovà an-kaampon’ arofo naho an-kaliforam-pañova vaho an-kene haozara’e, ty amy Hà’ i Mosey; ie tsy amam-panonjohy nitroatse nanahak’ aze.
Never before had there been a king like him, turning to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his power, as the law of Moses says; and after him there was no king like him.
26 Fe tsy nitolik’ amy fifombo’e niforoforoy t’Iehovà, amy haviñera’e nisolebotse am’ Iehodà, ty amo fonga sigý nisigihe’ i Menasè Azeo.
But still the heat of the Lord's wrath was not turned back from Judah, because of all Manasseh had done in moving him to wrath.
27 Le hoe t’Iehovà, hafahako am-pahatreavako t’Iehoda, manahake ty nañafahako Israele vaho hahifiko añe ty rova jinoboko toy naho i anjomba nataoko ty hoe: Ho ao i añarakoiy.
And the Lord said, I will send Judah away from before my face, as I have sent Israel; I will have nothing more to do with this town, which I had made mine, even Jerusalem, and the holy house of which I said, My name will be there.
28 Aa naho o fitoloña’ Iosià ila’eo, o raha nanoe’e iabio, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Iehodaoy hao?
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
29 Ie tañ’ andro’e le nionjo haname ty mpanjaka’ i Asore t’i Parò-Nekò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime mb’an-tsaka Perate añe; nomb’ ama’e mb’eo t’Ioase, mpanjaka, fe vata’e niisa’e le zinevo’e e Megidò añe.
In his days, Pharaoh-necoh, king of Egypt, sent his armies against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and King Josiah went out against him; and he put him to death at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
30 Nitakone’ o mpitoro’eo an-tsarete i fañova’ey, nendese’ iereo mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo vaho nalentek’ an-kibori’e ao. Rinambe ondati’ i taneio t’Iehoakaze, ie ty noriza’ iareo ho mpanjaka handimbe an-drae’e.
And his servants took his body in a carriage from Megiddo to Jerusalem, and put him into the earth there. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, and put the holy oil on him and made him king in place of his father.
31 Roapolo-taoñe telo’ amby t’Iehoakaze te niorotse nifehe, le nifeleke telo volañe e Ierosalaime ao; i Kamotale, ana’ Irm-meà nte-Libnà, ty tahinan-drene’e.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, ruling in Jerusalem for three months; his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
32 Nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re manahake o fonga satan-droae’eo.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his fathers had done.
33 Le vinaho’ i Parò-Neko e Ribà an-tane Kamate añe re, tsy hameleha’e t’Ierosalaime; le sinaze’e talenta zato volafoty naho talenta volamena raike i taney.
And Pharaoh-necoh put him in chains at Riblah in the land of Hamath, so that he might not be king in Jerusalem; and took from the land a tax of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
34 Le nanoe’ i Parò-Neko mpanjaka t’i Eliakime ana’ Iosia handimbe an-drae’e Iosia naho novae’e ho Iehoiakime ty tahina’e naho nendese’e mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo t’Iehoakaze, vaho nihomake añe.
Then Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim, the son of Josiah, king in place of Josiah his father, changing his name to Jehoiakim; but Jehoahaz he took away to Egypt, where he was till his death.
35 Natolo’ Iehoiakime amy Parò i volafoty naho volamenay, le nangalà’e haba i taney ty amy lili’ i Paròy; rinambe’e am’ ondati’ i taneio i volafoty naho volamenay, sambe ty amy vili-loha’ey, hanolotse aze amy Parò-Neko.
And Jehoiakim gave the silver and gold to Pharaoh, taxing the land by his orders to get the money; the people of the land had to give silver and gold, everyone as he was taxed, to make the payment to Pharaoh-necoh.
36 Roapolo-taoñe lime amby t’Iehoiakime te niorotse nifehe; vaho nifeleke folo-taoñe raik’ amby e Ierosalaime ao; i Zebidà, ana’ i Pedaià nte-Romà, ty tahinan-drene’e.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years; his mother's name was Zebidah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
37 Le nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re manahake o satan-droae’eo.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord as his fathers had done.
