1 Inkosi yasithumela, basebebuthanisa kuye bonke abadala bakoJuda labeJerusalema.
Ale fia la yɔ Yuda kple Yerusalem ƒe dumegãwo ƒo ƒu.
2 Inkosi yasisenyukela endlini kaJehova, lawo wonke amadoda akoJuda labo bonke abahlali beJerusalema kanye laye, labapristi labaprofethi, labo bonke abantu kusukela komncinyane kusiya komkhulu, yasifunda endlebeni zabo wonke amazwi ogwalo lwesivumelwano olwaficwa endlini yeNkosi.
Eyi Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me kple Yuda kple Yerusalem ƒe ameawo, nunɔlawo kple nyagblɔɖilawo, tso ame gblɔetɔwo dzi va se ɖe ame gãtɔwo dzi. Exlẽ Nubabla ƒe Agbalẽ si wofɔ le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me nyawo na wo.
3 Inkosi yema-ke ngasensikeni, yenza isivumelwano phambi kweNkosi, sokuhamba emva kweNkosi, lokugcina imilayo yayo lemithetho yayo lezimiso zayo ngenhliziyo yonke langomphefumulo wonke, ukuqinisa amazwi alesisivumelwano abhaliweyo kulolugwalo. Bonke abantu basebesima esivumelwaneni.
Fia la tsi tsitre ɖe sɔti la gbɔ le ameawo ŋkume. Eya kple ameawo ɖe adzɔgbe na Yehowa be yewoadze eyome, alé eƒe sewo, ɖaseɖiɖiwo, kple ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi kple dzi blibo kple luʋɔ blibo, eye yewoawɔ nubabla sia ƒe nya siwo katã woŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ sia me la dzi; eye dukɔ blibo la bla nu.
4 Inkosi yasilaya uHilikhiya umpristi omkhulu labapristi besigaba sesibili labalindi bombundu womnyango ukuthi bakhuphe ethempelini leNkosi zonke izitsha ezazenzelwe uBhali lesixuku lebutho lonke lamazulu, wazitshisela ngaphandle kweJerusalema eziqintini zeKidroni, wathwalela umlotha wazo eBhetheli.
Ale Fia la ɖe gbe na nunɔlagã Hilkia kple nunɔla bubuawo kple agbonudzɔlawo be woaɖe nu siwo katã wowɔ na Baal, aƒeli kple dziƒoŋunuwo katã la ɖa le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me. Etɔ dzo wo le Yerusalem dua godo le Kidron balime eye wòlɔ dzofi la yi Betel.
5 Wasesusa abapristi bezithombe amakhosi akoJuda ayebabekile ukuthi batshise impepha endaweni eziphakemeyo, emizini yakoJuda, lendawo ezizingelezele iJerusalema, lalabo ababetshisa impepha kuBhali, elangeni, lenyangeni, lezinkanyezini, lebuthweni lonke lamazulu.
Eɖe trɔ̃nua siwo Yuda fia xoxowo ɖo be woado dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ le nuxeƒewo le Yuda duwo kple du siwo ƒo xlã Yerusalem la ɖa, ame siwo do dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ na Baal, ɣe kple ɣleti, ɣletiviwo kple dziƒoŋunuwo.
6 Wakhupha isixuku endlini yeNkosi, ngaphandle kweJerusalema, wasisa esifuleni iKidroni, wasitshisa esifuleni iKidroni, wasichola saba luthuli, waphosela uthuli lwaso emangcwabeni abantwana babantu.
Eho aƒeli la ɖa le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me, tsɔe yi Yerusalem godo yi ɖe Kidron tɔʋu la gbɔ. Etɔ dzoe le afi ma, tui wòzu wɔ eye wòkaka wɔ la ɖe ame gblɔewo ƒe yɔdowo dzi.
7 Wadiliza izindlu zezinkotshana ezazingasendlini yeNkosi lapho abesifazana ababeselukela khona amaveyili esixuku.
Egbã ŋutsugbolowo ƒe xɔwo ƒu anyi, xɔ siwo nɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me, afi si nyɔnuwo hã nɔna, nɔa kundruwo lɔ̃m na aƒeli.
8 Wakhupha bonke abapristi emizini yakoJuda, wangcolisa indawo eziphakemeyo lapho abapristi ababetshisela khona impepha, kusukela eGeba kusiya eBherishebha. Wadiliza indawo eziphakemeyo zamasango ezisekungeneni kwesango likaJoshuwa umbusi womuzi, ezazingakwesokhohlo somuntu esangweni lomuzi.
Yosia kplɔ nunɔla siwo katã nɔ Yuda duwo me la gbɔe eye wòna wodo gu nuxeƒewo katã tso Geba yi ɖase ɖe Beerseba afi si nunɔlaawo do dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ le. Egbã legba siwo nɔ dua ƒe mɔmefia, Yosua ƒe agbo nu. Legba la nɔ agbo la ƒe miame.
9 Loba kunjalo abapristi bendawo eziphakemeyo kabenyukelanga elathini leNkosi eJerusalema, kodwa badla izinkwa ezingelamvubelo phakathi kwabafowabo.
Togbɔ be nunɔla siawo mewɔ subɔsubɔdɔwo le Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui la dzi le Yerusalem o hã la, woɖua abolo maʋamaʋã kple nunɔla bubuawo.
10 Wasengcolisa iTofethi elisesihotsheni sendodana kaHinomu ukuze kungabi khona umuntu odabulisa indodana yakhe kumbe indodakazi yakhe emlilweni kuMoleki.
Le esia megbe la, fia la do gu Tofet si nɔ Ben Hinom ƒe Balime, ale be ame aɖeke magate ŋu atsɔ via ŋutsuvi alo via nyɔnuvi awɔ dzovɔsae na Molek o.
11 Wasesusa amabhiza amakhosi akoJuda ayewanikele elangeni ekungeneni kwendlu yeNkosi, ngasekamelweni likaNathani-Meleki umthenwa elalisekhulusini, wazitshisa inqola zelanga ngomlilo.
Eɖe sɔ siwo ŋuti Yuda fiawo kɔ na ɣelegba la ɖa le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ ƒe mɔnu. Wonɔ xɔxɔnu si te ɖe dumegã aɖe si woyɔna be Natan Melek ƒe xɔnu. Ale Yosia tɔ dzo tasiaɖam siwo ŋuti wokɔ na ɣelegba la hã.
12 Lamalathi ayesephahleni lwendlu kaAhazi engaphezulu awenzayo amakhosi akoJuda, lamalathi uManase ayewenzile emagumeni womabili endlu yeNkosi, inkosi yawadiliza yawachoboza iwasusa lapho, yaluphosela uthuli lwawo esifuleni iKidroni.
Fia la mu vɔsamlekpui siwo Yuda fiawo tu ɖe gbadzaƒe si le Ahaz ƒe xɔ la tame le fiasã la me kple vɔsamlekpui siwo Fia Manase tu ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnuwo. Egbã wo kakɛkakɛ eye wòkaka kakɛawo ɖe Kidron bali la me.
13 Lendawo eziphakemeyo, ezaziphambi kweJerusalema, ezazingakwesokunene sentaba yokubola, uSolomoni inkosi yakoIsrayeli eyayizakhele uAshitarothi isinengiso samaSidoni, loKemoshi isinengiso samaMowabi, loMilkomu isinengiso sabantwana bakoAmoni, inkosi yazingcolisa.
Le esia megbe la, eɖe nuxeƒe siwo nɔ toawo dzi le Yerusalem ƒe ɣedzeƒe kple Gbegblẽto la ƒe dziehe la ɖa. Fia Solomo tu nuxeƒe siawo na Astarɔt, Sidontɔwo ƒe nyɔnumawu vɔ̃ɖi la, na Kemos, Moabtɔwo ƒe mawu vɔ̃ɖi la kple na Milkom, Amonitɔwo ƒe mawu nyɔŋu la.
14 Wasephahlaza insika eziyizithombe, wagamula izixuku, wagcwalisa izindawo zazo ngamathambo abantu.
Yosia gbã legbawo eye wòho aƒeliwo. Ekaka ameƒuwo ɖe teƒe siawo hedo gu teƒeawo.
15 Lelathi lalo elaliseBhetheli, lendawo ephakemeyo, ayenzayo uJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati owenza uIsrayeli ukuthi one, kokubili lelolathi lendawo ephakemeyo wakudiliza, watshisa indawo ephakemeyo, wayichoboza yaba luthuli, watshisa isixuku.
Egbã vɔsamlekpui kple nuxeƒe si Yeroboam Gbãtɔ tu ɖe Betel esime wòhe Israel de nu vɔ̃ me. Egbã kpeawo wozu ʋuʋudedi eye wòtɔ dzo aƒeliwo.
16 Lapho uJosiya ephenduka wabona amangcwaba ayelapho entabeni, wathuma wasekhupha amathambo emangcwabeni, wawatshisela phezu kwelathi, walingcolisa, njengelizwi leNkosi umuntu kaNkulunkulu ayelimemezele, owamemezela lamazwi.
Esi Fia Yosia nɔ ŋku tsam gbe ɖeka la, ekpɔ yɔdo aɖewo ɖaa le to la ŋu. Eɖe gbe na eƒe amewo be woaɖe ƒuawo le yɔdoawo me eye woatɔ dzo wo le vɔsamlekpui si le Betel la dzi, ado gui ale be, nya si Yehowa ƒe nyagblɔɖila gblɔ da ɖi be adzɔ ɖe Yeroboam ƒe vɔsamlekpui dzi la nava eme.
17 Wasesithi: Yisikhumbuzo sani lesiyana engisibonayo? Abantu bomuzi basebesithi kuye: Lingcwaba lomuntu kaNkulunkulu owavela koJuda wamemezela lezizinto ozenzileyo umelene lelathi leBhetheli.
Fia la bia be, “Yɔdokpe kae nye ema le afi ma?” Dua me tɔwo ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nyagblɔɖila si tso Yuda va gblɔ nu si nèwɔ fifia da ɖi be adzɔ ɖe vɔsamlekpui sia dzi le Betel la ƒe yɔdoe!”
18 Wasesithi: Myekeleni, kakungabi lamuntu othinta amathambo akhe. Basebewayekela amathambo akhe kanye lamathambo omprofethi owavela eSamariya.
Ale Fia Yosia gblɔ be, “Migaka asi eŋu o. Migaɖe fu na nyagblɔɖila la ƒe ƒuwo o.” Ale wometɔ dzo eƒe ƒuwo kple nyagblɔɖila si tso Samaria la ƒe ƒuwo o.
19 Njalo lazo zonke izindlu zezindawo eziphakemeyo ezisemizini yeSamariya, amakhosi akoIsrayeli ayezenzile ukuthukuthelisa, uJosiya wazisusa, wenza kizo njengayo yonke imisebenzi ayeyenze eBhetheli.
Yosia gbã nuxeƒe siwo nɔ toawo dzi le Samarianyigba blibo la dzi. Israel fia vovovowoe tu wo eye wodo dɔmedzoe na Yehowa. Ke azɔ la, Yosia gbã wo wozu ʋuʋudedi abe ale si wòwɔ le Betel ene.
20 Wasebulala bonke abapristi bezindawo eziphakemeyo, ababekhonapho, phezu kwamalathi, watshisa amathambo abantu phezu kwawo. Wasebuyela eJerusalema.
Ewu trɔ̃subɔlawo ƒe nunɔlawo ɖe woawo ŋutɔ ƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo dzi eye wòtɔ dzo ameƒuawo ɖe vɔsamlekpuiawo dzi hedo gu wo. Azɔ la etrɔ va Yerusalem.
21 Inkosi yasilaya bonke abantu isithi: Gcinani iphasika eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu, njengalokhu kubhaliwe kulolugwalo lwesivumelwano.
Fia Yosia gblɔ na eƒe amewo azɔ be woaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖe se siwo Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la na woŋlɔ ɖe Nubabla ƒe Agbalẽ la me la nu.
22 Ngoba kwakungagcinwanga elinjengaleli iphasika kusukela ensukwini zabehluleli abehlulela uIsrayeli, kumbe kuzo zonke izinsuku zamakhosi akoIsrayeli, kumbe zamakhosi akoJuda.
Womegaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la kpɔ nenema tso Israel ƒe ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo ŋɔli o eye womegaɖui kpɔ nenema le Israel fiawo kple Yuda fiawo ƒe fiaɖuɣiwo katã me o.
23 Kodwa ngomnyaka wetshumi lesificaminwembili wenkosi uJosiya lagcinwa leliphasika eNkosini eJerusalema.
Woɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui sia na Yehowa le Yerusalem le Fia Yosia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuienyilia me.
24 Ngaphezu kwalokho-ke abalamadlozi, labalumbayo, lamatherafi, lezithombe, lawo wonke amanyala abonakala elizweni lakoJuda leJerusalema, uJosiya wakususa, ukuze aqinise amazwi omlayo ayebhalwe ogwalweni uHilikhiya umpristi alufica endlini yeNkosi.
Yosia tsi ŋɔliyɔyɔ, adzewɔwɔ kple legbasubɔsubɔ ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe nu le Yerusalem kple anyigba blibo la dzi. Ewɔ alea elabena edi be yeawɔ se siwo katã woŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ si Nunɔla Hilkia fɔ le gbedoxɔ la me la dzi pɛpɛpɛ.
25 Langaphambi kwakhe kakubanga khona inkosi eyafanana laye eyaphendukela eNkosini ngenhliziyo yayo yonke langomphefumulo wayo wonke langamandla ayo wonke, njengokomlayo wonke kaMozisi. Futhi emva kwakhe kakuvelanga eyafanana laye.
Fia bubu aɖeke meganɔ anyi si trɔ ɖe Yehowa gbɔ eye wòwɔ Mose ƒe sewo katã dzi o eye fia siwo kplɔ Yosia ɖo hã dometɔ aɖeke mete ɖe ale si Yosia ɖo to Yehowa la ŋu o.
26 Kanti iNkosi kayiphendukanga ekuvutheni kolaka lwayo olukhulu, olaka lwayo eyavuthela ngalo uJuda, ngenxa yazo zonke intukutheliso uManase ayithukuthelisa ngazo.
Ke Yehowa ƒe dziku sesẽ si wòdo ɖe Yuda ŋu le Manase ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta la dzi meɖe o
27 INkosi yasisithi: Ngizamsusa loJuda phambi kwami, njengoba ngasusa uIsrayeli, ngiwulahle lumuzi weJerusalema engawukhethayo, lendlu engathi ngayo: Ibizo lami lizakuba lapho.
elabena Yehowa gblɔ be, “Matsrɔ̃ Yuda abe ale si metsrɔ̃ Israel ene eye maɖe asi le Yerusalem, du si metia kple gbedoxɔ si megblɔ be enye tɔnye la ŋu.”
28 Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaJosiya, lakho konke akwenzayo, kakubhalwanga yini egwalweni lwemilando yamakhosi akoJuda?
Woŋlɔ Fia Yosia ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
29 Ensukwini zakhe uFaro Neko inkosi yeGibhithe wenyuka wamelana lenkosi yeAsiriya emfuleni iYufrathi. Inkosi uJosiya yasisiyahlangabezana laye; wayibulalela eMegido eseyibonile.
Le ŋkeke mawo me la, Egipte fia Farao Neko ho yi Frat tɔsisi la to be yeakpe ɖe Asiria fia ŋu. Fia Yosia ho yi be yeawɔ aʋa kplii, ke Fia Farao Neko wu Fia Yosia esi wòkpɔe le Megido.
30 Inceku zakhe zasezimthwala efile ngenqola, zisuka eMegido, zamusa eJerusalema, zamngcwaba engcwabeni lakhe. Abantu belizwe basebethatha uJehowahazi indodana kaJosiya, bamgcoba, bambeka waba yinkosi esikhundleni sikayise.
Fia Yosia ŋumewo kɔ eƒe kukua ɖe tasiaɖam me tso Megido va Yerusalem eye woɖii ɖe yɔdo si eya ŋutɔ tia da ɖi la me. Dukɔa tia Fia Yosia ƒe vi, Yehoahaz si ami nɛ heɖoe fia ɖe fofoa teƒe.
31 UJehowahazi wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lantathu lapho esiba yinkosi; wabusa inyanga ezintathu eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguHamuthali indodakazi kaJeremiya weLibhina.

32 Wasesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi njengakho konke oyise abakwenzayo.
Ewɔ nu vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume abe ale si fofoawo hã wɔ ene.
33 UFaro Neko wasembopha eRibila elizweni leHamathi ukuthi angabusi eJerusalema, wahlawulisa ilizwe amathalenta esiliva alikhulu lethalenta legolide.
Egipte fia, Farao Neko lée de gaxɔ me le Ribla le Hamat ale be magaɖu fia le Yerusalem o. Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, ebla fe si ƒe home nye klosalo kilo akpe etɔ̃ alafa ene kple sika kilo blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene la na Yuda.
34 UFaro Neko wasebeka uEliyakhimi indodana kaJosiya ukuthi abe yinkosi esikhundleni sikaJosiya uyise, waphendula ibizo lakhe wathi nguJehoyakhimi. Wasethatha uJehowahazi; wasesiza eGibhithe, wafela khona.

35 UJehoyakhimi wasemnika uFaro isiliva legolide, kodwa wathelisa ilizwe ukuze anike leyomali njengokomlayo kaFaro. Wakhuphisa abantu belizwe isiliva legolide, ngulowo lalowo ngokomthelo wakhe, yokunika uFaro Neko.
Fia Yehoyakim ma ga home si Egipte fia bla na dukɔa la na eteviwo, ame sia ame ɖe eƒe ŋutete nu be wòate ŋu akpɔ ga la axe na Egipte fia.
36 UJehoyakhimi wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu lapho esiba yinkosi; wabusa iminyaka elitshumi lanye eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguZebida indodakazi kaPhedaya weRuma.

37 Wasesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi njengakho konke oyise abakwenzayo.
Ewɔ nu vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume, abe ale si fofoawo wɔ ene.
