2 Mpanjaka 23
1 Nampañitrike i mpanjakay, le natontoñ’ ama’e ze hene androanavi’ Iehoda naho Ierosalaimeo.
And the king sends, and they gather all [the] elderly of Judah and Jerusalem to him,
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 goes up to the house of YHWH, and every man of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, from small to great, and he reads in their ears all the words of the Scroll of the Covenant that is found in the house of YHWH.
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 stands by the pillar, and makes the covenant before YHWH, to walk after YHWH, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all the heart, and with all the soul, to establish the words of this covenant that are written on this scroll, and all the people stand in the covenant.
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.
And the king commands Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out from the temple of YHWH all the vessels that are made for Ba‘al, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of the heavens, and he burns them at the outside of Jerusalem, in the fields of Kidron, and has carried their ashes 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 has caused to cease the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah have appointed (and they make incense in high places, in cities of Judah and outskirts of Jerusalem), and those making incense to Ba‘al, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, and to all the host of the heavens.
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 brings out the Asherah from the house of YHWH to the outside of Jerusalem, to the Brook of Kidron, and burns it at the Brook of Kidron, and beats it small to dust, and casts its dust on the grave of the sons of the people.
7 Narotsa’e o kibohom-borololo añ’ila’ i anjomba’ Iehovày amy fanenoñan-drakemba o tèmen’ Aseràoy.
And he breaks down the houses of the whoremongers that [are] in the house of YHWH, where the women are weaving houses 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 brings in all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiles the high places where the priests have made incense, from Geba to Beer-Sheba, and has broken down the high places of the gates that [are] at the opening of the Gate of Joshua, head of the city, that [is] on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city;
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.
only, the priests of the high places do not come up to the altar of YHWH in Jerusalem, but they have eaten unleavened things in the midst of 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 he has defiled Topheth that [is] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, so that no man causes his son and his daughter to pass over through 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 causes to cease the horses that the kings of Judah have given to the sun from the entering in of the house of YHWH, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech the eunuch, that [is] in the outskirts; and he has burned the chariots of the sun with 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 that [are] on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, that the kings of Judah made, and the altars that Manasseh made in the two courts of the house of YHWH, the king has broken down, and removes from there, and has cast their dust into the Brook of 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 that [are] on the front of Jerusalem, that [are] on the right of the Mount of Corruption, that Solomon king of Israel had built to Ashtoreth, abomination of the Zidonians, and Chemosh, abomination of Moab, and to Milcom, abomination of the sons of Ammon, the king has defiled.
14 Dinoro-demo’e o saren-drahao naho finira’e o hazomangao, vaho natsafe’e taola’ ondaty o toe’eo.
And he has broken the standing-pillars in pieces, and cuts down the Asherim, and fills their place with bones of men;
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 also the altar that [is] in Beth-El, the high place that Jeroboam son of Nebat made, by which he made Israel sin, both that altar and the high place he has broken down, and burns the high place—he has beat it small to dust, and has burned the Asherah.
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.
And Josiah turns, and sees the graves that [are] there on the mountain, and sends and takes the bones out of the graves, and burns [them] on the altar, and defiles it, according to the word of YHWH that the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.
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.
And he says, “What [is] this sign that I see?” And the men of the city say to him, “The grave of the man of God who has come from Judah, and proclaims these things that you have done concerning 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.
And he says, “Leave him alone, let no man touch his bones”; and they let his bones escape with the bones of the prophet who came out of 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.
And also all the houses of the high places that [are] in the cities of Samaria, that the kings of Israel made to provoke to anger, Josiah has turned aside, and does to them according to all the deeds that he did 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 he slays all the priests of the high places who [are] there by the altars, and burns the bones of man on them, and turns 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 commands the whole of the people, saying, “Make a Passover to your God YHWH, as it is written on this scroll of the covenant.”
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;
Surely there has not been made like this Passover from the days of the ones judging who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Judah;
23 amy taom-paha-folo-valo’ ambi’ Iosià mpanjakay ty nañambenañe i fihelañ’ ambone am’ Iehovày e Ierosalaime ao.
but in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover has been made to YHWH 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 also, those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah, and in Jerusalem, Josiah has put away, in order to establish the words of the Law that are written on the scroll that Hilkiah the priest has found in the house of YHWH.
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.
And like him there has not been before him a king who turned back to YHWH with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses, and after him there has none risen 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.
Only, YHWH has not turned back from the fierceness of His great anger with which His anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh provoked him,
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 YHWH says, “I also turn Judah aside from my presence, as I turned Israel aside, and I have rejected this city that I have chosen—Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My Name is there.”
28 Aa naho o fitoloña’ Iosià ila’eo, o raha nanoe’e iabio, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Iehodaoy hao?
And the rest of the matters of Josiah and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles 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 Necho king of Egypt has come up against the king of Asshur, by the Euphrates River, and King Josiah goes out to meet him, and [Pharaoh Necho] puts him to death in Megiddo when he sees 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 cause him to ride dying from Megiddo, and bring him to Jerusalem, and bury him in his own grave, and the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and anoint him, and cause him to reign instead 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 [is] a son of twenty-three years in his reigning, and he has reigned three months in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,
32 Nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re manahake o fonga satan-droae’eo.
and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his fathers did,
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 Necho binds him in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, from reigning in Jerusalem, and he puts a fine on the land—one 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.
And Pharaoh Necho causes Eliakim son of Josiah to reign instead of his father Josiah, and turns his name to Jehoiakim, and he has taken Jehoahaz away, and he comes to Egypt, and dies there.
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 has given the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; only he valued the land to give the silver by the command of Pharaoh; from each, according to his valuation, he exacted the silver and the gold, from the people of the land, to give to Pharaoh Necho.
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 [is] a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned eleven years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah,
37 Le nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re manahake o satan-droae’eo.
and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his fathers did.
