21 Mambo akarayira vanhu vose akati, “Itirai Jehovha Mwari wenyu Pasika sezvazvakanyorwa muBhuku iri reSungano.”

Hagi anante kini ne' Josaia'a amanage huno maka vahera zamasami'ne, Ama hugagerafi huvempage avontafepima hu'nea kante anteta Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli vahe'ma ozmahe zamagtere'nea knagura antahimita ne'zana kreta neneta musena hunteho.

22 Hakuna kumbova nepasika yakadai kubvira pamazuva avatongi vakatungamirira Israeri kana pamazuva amadzimambo avaIsraeri, namadzimambo eJudha.

Hagi kema refko'ma hu kva vahe'mo'zama kegavama huzmante'nareti'ma eno Jerusalemine, Juda kini vahe'mo'zama kvama huzmante'nare'ma egeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli vahe'ma ozmaheno zamagtere'nea zankura antahimi'za magore hu'za ne'zana kre'za nene'za musena huonte'naze.

24 Pamusoro paizvozvo, Josia akabvisa masvikiro ose navavuki, navaiita zvemidzimu, nezvifananidzo nezvimwe zvose zvinonyangadza zvaionekwa muJudha nomuJerusarema. Akaita izvi kuti azadzise zvaidikanwa nomurayiro wakanga wakanyorwa mubhuku rakanga rakawanikwa nomuprista Hirikia mutemberi yaJehovha.
