2 Mootota 23

1 Ergasiis mootichi maanguddoota Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem hunda walitti ni waame.

So they reported the word to the king: and the king sent and gathered all the elders of Juda and Jerusalem to himself.

2 Innis namoota Yihuudaa, jiraattota Yerusaalem, lubootaa fi raajota wajjin jechuunis nama xinnaa fi guddaa hunda wajjin gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ol baʼe. Dubbii Kitaaba Kakuu kan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti argame sanaa hundas akka isaan dhagaʼanitti dubbiseef.

And the king went up to the house of the Lord, and every man of Juda and all who lived in Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people small and great; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the Lord.

3 Mootichis utubaa bira dhaabatee akka Waaqayyoon duukaa buʼu, akka garaa isaa guutuu fi lubbuu isaa guutuudhaan ajaja isaa, dambiiwwan isaatii fi labsiiwwan isaa eegee akkasiin dubbiiwwan kakuu kanneen kitaaba kana keessatti barreeffaman hojii irra oolchu fuula Waaqayyoo duratti kakuu ni haaromse; ergasiis sabni hundi kakuu ni haaromse.

And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his ordinances with all the heart and with all the soul, to confirm the words of this covenant; [even] the things written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.

4 Mootichis akka isaan miʼoota Baʼaaliif, Asheeraadhaa fi raayyaawwan samiitiif hojjetaman hunda mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessaa baasaniif Hilqiyaa lubicha ol aanaa, luboota sadarkaan isatti aananii fi eegdota balbalaa ajaje. Innis miʼoota sana Yerusaalem keessaa baasee dirree Sulula Qeedroon irratti gube; daaraa isaas fuudhee Beetʼeelitti geesse.

And the king commanded Chelcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and them that kept the door, to bring out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and all the host of heaven, and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kedron, and took the ashes of them to Baethel.

5 Luboota waaqota tolfamoo kanneen akka isaan iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen magaalaawwan Yihuudaatii fi naannoo Yerusaalem kanneen gaarran irraatiif ixaana aarsaniif mootonni Yihuudaa muudan sana jechuunis warra Baʼaaliif, aduu fi jiʼaaf, tuuta urjiitii fi raayyaawwan samii hundaaf ixaana aarsaa turanis ni barbadeesse.

And he burned the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Juda [had] appointed, (and they burned incense in the high places and in the cities of Juda, and the places around about Jerusalem); and them that burned incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to Mazuroth, and to all the host of heaven.

6 Siidaa Aasheeraas mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fuudhee Yerusaalem keessaa baasee Sulula Qeedroonitti geessee achitti ni gube. Isas daakee bulleessee daaraa isaa awwaala namootaa irratti firfirse.

And he carried out the grove from the house of the Lord to the brook Kedron, and burned it at the brook Kedron, and reduced it to powder, and cast its powder on the sepulchres of the sons of the people.

7 Innis mana dhiirota mana sagadaa keessatti sagaagalanii kan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa jiru, iddoo itti dubartoonni Asheeraadhaaf golgaa hojjetan sana ni diige.

And he pulled down the house of the sodomites that were by the house of the Lord, where the women wove tents for the grove.

8 Yosiyaasis luboota hunda magaalaawwan Yihuudaatii ni fide; innis iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen Gebaadhaa hamma Bersheebaatti turan kanneen luboonni ixaana itti aarsaa turan sana ni xureesse. Akkasumas galmawwan waaqeffannaa karrawwan cinaa kanneen balbala Karra Iyyaasuu bulchaa magaalaa sanaa dura karaa gama bitaa magaalattiin turan sana ni diige.

And he brought up all the priest from the cities of Juda, and defiled the high places where the priests burned incense, from Gaebal even to Bersabee; and he pulled down the house of the gates that was by the door of the gate of Joshua the ruler of the city, on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.

9 Luboonni iddoowwan sagadaa kunneen yoo iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo kan Yerusaalem keessaa irra tajaajiluu baatan illee isaan luboota akka isaanii wajjin Maxinoo nyaatan ture.

Only the priests of the high places went not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, for they only ate leavened bread in the midst of their brethren.

10 Innis akka namni tokko iyyuu ilma isaa yookaan intala isaa aarsaa godhee ibiddaan Moolekiif hin dhiʼeessineef Toofeti kan Sulula Ben Hinoom keessatti argamu sana ni xureesse.

And he defiled Taphes which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, [constructed] for a man to cause his son or his daughter to pass through fire to Moloch.

11 Akkasumas fardeen mootonni Yihuudaa aduudhaaf kennan sana balbala mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti geessu irraa fuudhee ni balleesse. Fardeen sun oobdii kutaa mana Naataan-Meelek qondaaltichaa biraa keessa turan. Ergasiis Yosiyaas gaariiwwan aduu sana ibiddaan ni gube.

And he burned the horses which the king of Juda had given to the sun in the entrance of the house of the Lord, by the treasury of Nathan the king's eunuch, in the suburbs; and he burned the chariot of the sun with fire.

12 Mootichis iddoowwan aarsaa mootonni Yihuudaa bantii manaa irra, kutaa mana Aahaaz kan ol aanu bira dhaabanii fi iddoowwan aarsaa Minaaseen mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa oobdiiwwan lamaan keessa dhaabe sana ni buqqise. Iddoowwan aarsaa sanas achii fuudhee ni caccabsee, caccabaa isaanii Sulula Qeedroon keessatti ni gate.

And the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, did the king pull down and forcibly remove from thence, and cast their dust into the brook of Kedron.

13 Akkasumas mootichi iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gama baʼa Yerusaalemitti karaa kibba Gaara Faalamuutiin turan kanneen Solomoon mootichi Israaʼel Ashtooreti waaqittii xurooftuu Siidoonotaa, Kemoosh waaqicha xuraaʼaa Moʼaabii fi Moolek waaqicha xuraaʼaa ijoollee Amooniitiif hojjete sana ni xureesse.

And the king defiled the house that was before Jerusalem, on the right hand of the mount of Mosthath, which Solomon king of Israel built to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the abomination of Moab, and to Moloch the abomination of the children of Ammon.

14 Yosiyaas soodduuwwan dhagaa caccabsee siidaawwan Aasheeraas diigee iddoo sana lafee namaatiin guute.

And he broke in pieces the pillars, and utterly destroyed the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.

15 Akkasumas iddoo aarsaa Beetʼeel keessa ture sanaa fi iddoo sagadaa kan Yerobiʼaam ilmi Nebaat inni Israaʼelin cubbuu hojjechiise sun ijaare iddoo aarsaa sanaa fi iddoo sagadaa ni diige. Iddoo sagadaa sanas caccabsee, daakee bulleesse; siidaa Aasheeraas ni gube.

Also the high altar in Baethel, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that high altar he tore down, and broke in pieces the stones of it, and reduced it to powder, and burnt the grove.

16 Yosiyaasis of irra garagalee awwaalawwan tulluu irra jiran achitti arge; nama ergees awwaalawwan sana keessaa lafeewwan fichisiisee akkuma dubbii Waaqayyoo kan namni Waaqaa inni duraan dursee waan kana dubbate sun labsetti iddoo aarsaa irratti gubee isa xureesse.

And Josias turned aside, and saw the tombs that were there in the city, and sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burnt them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the Lord which the man of God spoke, when Jeroboam stood by the altar at the feast: and he turned and raised his eyes to the tomb of the man of God that spoke these words.

17 Mootichi, “Dhagaan awwaalaa kan ani arguutti jiru kun maal?” jedhee ni gaafate. Namoonni magaalaa sanaa immoo, “Inni awwaala nama Waaqaa kan Yihuudaadhaa dhufee waanuma ati iddoo aarsaa Beetʼeel goote kana duraan dursee labse sanaa ti” jedhan.

And he said, What [is] that mound which I see? And the men of the city said to him, [It is the grave of] the man of God that came out of Juda, and uttered these imprecations which he imprecated upon the altar of Baethel.

18 Innis, “Isa dhiisaa; namni tokko iyyuu lafee isaa hin tuqin” jedhe. Kanaafuu isaan lafee isaattii fi lafee raajicha Samaariyaadhaa dhufe sanaa illee ni dhiisan.

And he said, Let him alone; let no one disturb his bones. So his bones were spared, together with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.

19 Yosiyaas akkuma Beetʼeelitti godhe sana iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa kanneen mootonni Israaʼel magaalaawwan Samaariyaa keessatti ijaaranii Waaqayyoon dheekkamsaaf kakaasan sana hunda ni diige.

Moreover Josias removed all the houses of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel made to provoke the Lord, and did to them all that he did in Baethel.

20 Innis luboota iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa hunda iddoowwan aarsaa irratti qalee lafee namaas achuma irratti ni gube. Ergasiis gara Yerusaalemitti ni deebiʼe.

And he sacrificed all the priests of the high places that were there on the altars, and burnt the bones of men upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.

21 Mootichis, “Akkuma Kitaaba Kakuu kana keessatti barreeffame sanatti Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif Faasiikaa ayyaaneffadhaa” jedhee saba hunda ajaje.

And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover to the Lord your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.

22 Bara abbootii murtii kanneen Israaʼelin bulchaa turaniitii jalqabee yookaan bara mootota Israaʼel hunda keessa yookaan Yihuudaa keessa Faasiikaan akkasii takkumaa ayyaaneffamee hin beeku.

For a passover [such as] this had not been kept from the days of the judges who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda.

23 Garuu bara Yosiyaas mootichaa keessa waggaa kudha saddeettaffaatti Faasiikaan kun Yerusaalemitti Waaqayyoof ayyaaneffamaa ture.

But in the eighteenth year of king Josias, was the passover kept to the Lord in Jerusalem.

24 Kana malees Yosiyaas ilaaltotaa fi eker dubbistoota, taraafimii, waaqota tolfamoo fi wantoota jibbisiisoo kanneen Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem keessatti argaman biraa hunda balleesse. Innis seera kitaaba Hilqiyaa lubichi mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti arge sana irratti barreeffame hojii irra oolchuudhaaf waan kana godhe.

Moreover Josias removed the sorcerers, and the wizards, and the theraphin, and the idols, and all the abominations that had been set up in the land of Juda and in Jerusalem, that he might keep the words of the law that were written in the book, which Chelcias the priest found in the house of the Lord.

25 Mootiin akka Yosiyaas kan akka Seera Musee hundaatti garaa isaa guutuudhaan, lubbuu isaa guutuu fi humna isaa guutuudhaan gara Waaqayyootti deebiʼe tokko iyyuu isaan duras isaan duubas hin argamne.

There was no king like him before him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, according to all the law of Moses; and after him there rose not one like him.

26 Taʼus sababii Minaaseen waan hojjete hundaan dheekkamsaaf isa kakaaseef Waaqayyo dheekkamsa isaa guddaa fi sodaachisaa Yihuudaa irratti bobaʼe sana irraa hin deebine.

Nevertheless the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his great anger, wherewith he was angry in his anger against Juda, because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses provoked him.

27 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo, “Ani akkuma Israaʼelin balleesse sana Yihuudaas fuula koo duraa nan balleessa; Yerusaalem magaalaa ani filadheef mana qulqullummaa kan ani, ‘Maqaan koo achi jiraata’ jedhee waaʼee isaa dubbadhe kana nan dhiisa” jedhe.

And the Lord said, I will also remove Juda from my presence, as I removed Israel, and will reject this city which I have chosen [even] Jerusalem, and the house [of] which I said, My name shall be there.

28 Wanni bara mootummaa Yosiyaas keessa hojjetame kan biraatii fi wanni inni hojjete hundi kitaaba seenaa mootota Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffameera mitii?

And the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?

29 Bara Yosiyaas mootii turetti, Faraʼoon Nekkoon mootichi Gibxi mootii Asoor gargaaruuf jedhee gara Laga Efraaxiisitti ol baʼe. Yosiyaas mootichis of irraa isa ittisuudhaaf itti gad baʼe. Nekkoon garuu isatti dhufee Megidootti isa ajjeese.

And in his days went up Pharao Nechao king of Egypt against the king of the Assyrians to the river Euphrates: and Josias went out to meet him: and Nechao killed him in Mageddo when he saw him.

30 Garboonni Yosiyaasis gaariidhaan Megidoodhaa gara Yerusaalemitti reeffa isaa fidanii awwaala isaa keessatti isa awwaalan. Ergasiis sabni biyya sanaa Yehooʼaahaaz ilma Yosiyaas fuudhanii dibanii iddoo abbaa isaa buusanii mootii isa godhan.

And his servants carried him dead from Mageddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre: and the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and anointed him, and made him king in the room of his father.

31 Yehooʼaahaazis yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa digdamii sadii ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee jiʼa sadii bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Hamuutaal ture; isheenis intala Ermiyaas kan Libnaadhaa dhuftee turte.

Twenty and three years old was Joachaz when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Amital, daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.

32 Innis akkuma abbootiin isaa hojjetan sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers did.

33 Akka inni Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee hin bulchineef Faraʼoon Nekkoon Hamaati keessatti Riiblaati foncaan isa hidhee Yihuudaa irrattis gibira meetii taalaantii dhibba tokkoo fi warqee taalaantii tokko mure.

And Pharao Nechao removed him to Rablaam in the land of Emath, so that he should not reign in Jerusalem; and imposed a tribute on the land, a hundred talents of silver, and a hundred talents of gold.

34 Faraʼoon Nekkoon Eliiyaaqiim ilma Yosiyaas mootichaa iddoo Yosiyaas iddoo abbaa isaa buusee mootii godhe; maqaa Eliiyaaqiimis geeddaree Yehooyaaqiim jedheen. Yehooʼaahaazin garuu fuudhee Gibxitti geesse; innis achitti duʼe.

And Pharao Nechao made Eliakim son of Josias king of Juda king over them in the place of his father Josias, and he changed his name [to] Joakim, and he took Joachaz and brought him to Egypt, and he died there.

35 Yehooyaaqiimis meetii fi warqee Faraʼoon Nekkoon gaafate sana ni baase. Waan kana baasuufis gibira biyyatti muree namoota biyyattii irraa akkuma galii isaaniitti meetii fi warqee walitti qabe.

And Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao; but he assessed the land to give the money at the command of Pharao: they gave the silver and the gold [each] man according to his assessment together with the people of the land to give to Pharao Nechao.

36 Yehooyaaqiim yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa digdamii shan ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa kudha tokko bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Zebuudaa ture; isheenis intala Phedaayaa kan magaalaa Ruumaatii dhufte turte.

Twenty-five years old [was] Joakim when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Jeldaph, daughter of Phadail of Ruma.

37 Innis akkuma abbootiin isaa hojjetan sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete.

And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
