2 Mpanjaka 23
1 Nampañitrike i mpanjakay, le natontoñ’ ama’e ze hene androanavi’ Iehoda naho Ierosalaimeo.
The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders 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.
The king went up to Yahweh’s house, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him—with the priests, the prophets, and all the people, both small and great; and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in Yahweh’s house.
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.
The king stood by the pillar 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 all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book; and all the people agreed to 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.
The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out of Yahweh’s temple all the vessels that were made for Baal, for the Asherah, and for all the army of the sky; and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.
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.
He got rid of the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places around Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, to the moon, to the planets, and to all the army of the sky.
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.
He brought out the Asherah from Yahweh’s house, outside of Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on the graves of the common people.
7 Narotsa’e o kibohom-borololo añ’ila’ i anjomba’ Iehovày amy fanenoñan-drakemba o tèmen’ Aseràoy.
He broke down the houses of the male shrine prostitutes that were in Yahweh’s house, where the women wove hangings 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.
He brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were 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.
Nevertheless the priests of the high places didn’t come up to Yahweh’s altar in Jerusalem, but they ate 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.
He defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass 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.
He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun, at the entrance of Yahweh’s house, by the room of Nathan Melech the officer who was in the court; and he 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.
The king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of Yahweh’s house, and beat them down from there, and cast their dust into the brook 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.
The king defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon.
14 Dinoro-demo’e o saren-drahao naho finira’e o hazomangao, vaho natsafe’e taola’ ondaty o toe’eo.
He broke in pieces the pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and filled their places with men’s bones.
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.
Moreover the altar that was at Bethel and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and 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.
As Josiah turned himself, he spied the tombs that were there in the mountain; and he sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burned them on the altar, and defiled it, according to Yahweh’s word which 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.
Then he said, “What monument is that which I see?” The men of the city told him, “It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of Bethel.”
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.
He said, “Let him be! Let no one move his bones.” So they let his bones alone, 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.
All the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke Yahweh to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
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.
He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burned men’s bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem.
21 Linili’ i mpanjakay o hene ondatio, ami’ty hoe: Ambeno i fihelañ’ ambone’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oy, i sinokitse amy bokem-pañinaiy.
The king commanded all the people, saying, “Keep the Passover to Yahweh your God, as it is written in this book 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 was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor 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 was kept to Yahweh 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.
Moreover, Josiah removed those who had familiar spirits, the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in Yahweh’s house.
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.
There was no king like him before him, who turned to Yahweh with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; and there was none like him who arose after 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.
Notwithstanding, Yahweh didn’t turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocation with which Manasseh had 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.
Yahweh said, “I will also remove Judah out of my sight, as I have removed Israel; and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, ‘My name shall 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 that he did, aren’t they written in the book 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 Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and King Josiah went against him, but Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo when he saw 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.
His servants carried him dead in a chariot from Megiddo, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s place.
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 began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. 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 that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, according to all that 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.
Pharaoh Necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of 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.
Pharaoh Necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim; but he took Jehoahaz away, and he came to Egypt and died 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.
Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh. He exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, from everyone according to his assessment, to give it 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 began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. 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 that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, according to all that his fathers had done.
