Boqorradii Labaad 22
1 Yoosiyaah markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray siddeed sannadood, oo Yeruusaalemna boqor buu ka ahaa kow iyo soddon sannadood. Oo hooyadiis magaceeduna wuxuu ahaa Yediidaah ina Cadaayaah oo reer Bosqad ahaa.
Josiah was eight years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 31 years. His mother was Jedidah and his grandfather was Adaiah from Bozkath [town].
2 Oo isagu wuxuu sameeyey wixii Rabbiga hortiisa ku qummanaa, wuuna ku socday jidkii awowgiis Daa'uud maray oo dhan, ugamana uu leexan xagga midigta iyo xagga bidixda toona.
Josiah did things that were pleasing to Yahweh and conducted his life as his ancestor King David had done. He completely obeyed [IDM] all the laws of God.
3 Oo Boqor Yoosiyaah sannaddiisii siddeed iyo tobnaad wuxuu Shaafaan ina Asalyaah oo ahaa ina Meshullaam oo karraanigii ahaa u diray gurigii Rabbiga, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
After Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years, he sent his secretary Shaphan, the son of Azaliah and grandson of Meshullam, to the temple with these instructions:
4 Orod oo waxaad u tagtaa Xilqiyaah oo ah wadaadka sare, oo isagu ha xisaabo lacagta guriga Rabbiga la soo geliyey oo irid-dhawrayaashu ay dadka ka soo ururiyeen.
“Go to Hilkiah, the Supreme Priest, and tell him to give me a report, telling me how much money the men who guard the doors of the temple have collected from the people [as offerings].
5 Oo iyagu ha u dhiibeen shaqaalaha guriga Rabbiga u taliya, oo si meelaha guriga ka jajabay loo dhiso iyana ha u dhiibeen shaqaalaha guriga Rabbiga ku jira,
Then tell him to give all that money to the men who are supervising the work of repairing the temple.
6 kuwaasoo ah nijaarrada, iyo waxdhisayaasha, iyo wastaadyada, oo ha ku soo iibiyeen alwaax iyo dhagaxyo la qoray oo guriga lagu dhiso.
They must give that money to the carpenters, the builders, and the masons, and they should also buy the timber and the stones that they will use to repair the temple.
7 Habase yeeshee lama xisaabin lacagtii iyaga loo dhiibay, maxaa yeelay, waxay ahaayeen kuwa la aaminay.
But the men who supervise the work will not be required to make a report on the money that is given to them, saying what they spent it for, because those men are completely honest.”
8 Markaasaa Xilqiyaah oo ahaa wadaadkii sare wuxuu ku yidhi Shaafaan oo karraanigii ahaa, Waxaan guriga Rabbiga ka dhex helay Kitaabkii Sharciga. Oo Xilqiyaah kitaabkii buu u dhiibay Shaafaan, oo isna wuu akhriyey.
[After Shaphan said that to Hilkiah] the king’s secretary, Hilkiah said to Shaphan, “I have found in the temple a scroll on which is written the laws [that God gave to Moses]!” Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan, and he started to read it.
9 Markaasaa Shaafaan oo karraanigii ahaa boqorkii u yimid, wuuna u soo warramay oo ku yidhi, Addoommadaadii lacagtii guriga Rabbiga laga dhex helay way soo ururiyeen, oo waxay u dhiibeen shaqaalaha guriga Rabbiga u taliya.
Then Shaphan [took the scroll] to the king and said to him, “Your temple guards have taken the money that was in the temple, and they have given it to the men who will supervise the work of repairing the temple.”
10 Oo Shaafaan oo karraanigii ahaa ayaa boqorkii u sheegay oo ku yidhi, Wadaadkii Xilqiyaah ahaa wuxuu ii dhiibay kitaab. Markaasaa Shaafaan kitaabkii ku akhriyey boqorka hortiisii.
Then Shaphan said to the king, [“I have brought to you] a scroll that Hilkiah gave to me.” And Shaphan started to read it to the king.
11 Oo markii boqorkii maqlay erayadii kitaabkii sharciga ayuu dharkiisii jeexjeexay.
When the king heard the laws that were written in the scroll that Shaphan was reading to him, he tore his clothes [because he was very dismayed].
12 Markaasaa boqorkii amray wadaadkii Xilqiyaah ahaa, iyo Axiiqaam ina Shaafaan, iyo Cakhboor ina Miikaayaah, iyo Shaafaan oo ahaa karraanigii, iyo Casaayaah oo ahaa midiidinkii boqorka, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
Then he gave these instructions to Hilkiah, to Shaphan’s son Ahikam, to Micaiah’s son Achbor, and to Asaiah, the king’s special advisor:
13 War taga oo aniga iyo dadka iyo reer Yahuudah oo dhan Rabbiga inoo soo weyddiiya waxa ku saabsan erayada kitaabkan la helay, waayo, cadhada Rabbiga oo uu inoo cadhooday way weyn tahay, maxaa yeelay, awowayaasheen ma ay dhegaysan erayada kitaabkan inay yeelaan kulli waxyaalaha inagu saabsan ee ku qoran.
“Go and ask Yahweh for me and for all the people of Judah, about what is written in this scroll that has been found. Because [it is clear that] Yahweh is very angry with us because our ancestors disobeyed what was written on this scroll, things that we [should have done].”
14 Markaasaa wadaadkii Xilqiyaah ahaa, iyo Axiiqaam, iyo Cakhboor, iyo Shaafaan, iyo Casaayaah waxay u tageen nebiyaddii Xuldaah ahayd oo u dhaxday Shalluum ina Tiqwaah oo ahaa ina Xarxas, kaasoo ahaa kii dharka dhawri jiray. (Haddaba iyadu waxay degganayd Yeruusaalem xaafaddeeda labaad.) Markaasay iyadii la hadleen,
So Hilkiah, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to (consult/talk with) a woman whose name was Huldah, who was a prophetess who lived in the newer/northern part of Jerusalem. Her husband Shallum, son of Tikvah and grandson of Harhas, took care of the robes that were worn [in the temple] (OR, [by the king]). [Those five men told her about the scroll].
15 oo waxay ku tidhi, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaad ninkii ii soo kiin diray ku tidhaahdaan,
She said to them, “This is what Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] says: ‘Go back and tell the king who sent you
16 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eeg, belaayaan ku soo dejin doonaa meeshan iyo dadka degganba, taasoo ah kulli erayadii ku yiil kitaabkii boqorka dalka Yahuudah akhriyey oo dhan,
that this is what Yahweh says: “Listen to this carefully. I am going to cause all the people who live here in Jerusalem to experience a disaster, which is what was written in the scroll that the king has read.
17 maxaa yeelay, iyagu way iga tageen, oo waxay foox u shideen ilaahyo kale inay igaga xanaajiyaan shuqulka gacmahooda oo dhan; oo sidaas daraaddeed cadhadaydu waxay ku kululaanaysaa meeshan, mana qaboobi doonto.
I will do that because they have abandoned me, and they burn incense to [honor] other gods. They have caused me to become very angry by [worshiping] the idols that they have made (OR, by all the wicked things that they have done), and my anger is like [MET] a fire that will not be put out.”
18 Laakiinse boqorkii dalka Yahuudah oo idiin soo diray inaad Rabbiga wax soo weyddiisaan waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu ka leeyahay waxa ku saabsan erayadii aad maqashay:
The king of Judah sent you to inquire what I, Yahweh, wanted you to do, so this is what you should say to him: “Because you have heeded what was written in the scroll,
19 Qalbigaagu wuu jilicsanaa oo Rabbiga hortiisa ayaad isku hoosaysiisay markaad maqashay wixii aan kaga hadlay meeshan iyo dadka degganba, iyo inay iyagu noqon doonaan cidla iyo inkaar, oo waad igu hor ooyday, dharkaagiina waad jeexjeexday, oo sidaas daraaddeed waan ku maqlay, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.
and you repented and humbled yourself when you heard what I said to warn you [about what would happen to] this city and the people who live here and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you. I said that I would cause this city to be abandoned. It will be a city whose name people will use when they curse someone. But I have heard what you prayed,
20 Haddaba waxaan kula ururin doonaa awowayaashaa, oo qabrigaaga nabad baad ugu ururi doontaa, oo indhahaaguna ma ay arki doonaan kulli belaayada aan meeshan ku soo dejin doono. Oo iyana boqorkii ayay mar kale u war keeneen.
so I will allow you to die [EUP] and be buried peacefully. I will cause the people who live here to experience a terrible disaster, but you will not [be alive to] see it.”’” After the men heard that, they returned to King Josiah and gave him that message.
