2 Wafalme 22
1 Yosia alikuwa na miaka minane alipoanza kutawala, naye akatawala huko Yerusalemu miaka thelathini na mmoja. Mama yake aliitwa Yedida binti Adaya, kutoka Boskathi.
[was] a son of Eight year[s] Josiah when became king he and thirty and one year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Jedidah [the] daughter of Adaiah from Bozkath.
2 Akafanya yaliyo mema machoni pa Bwana na kuenenda katika njia zote za Daudi baba yake. Hakugeuka upande wa kuume wala wa kushoto.
And he did the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he walked in all [the] way of David ancestor his and not he turned aside right [hand] and left [hand].
3 Katika mwaka wa kumi na nane wa utawala wake, Mfalme Yosia akamtuma mwandishi Shafani mwana wa Azalia, mwana wa Meshulamu, kwenda katika Hekalu la Bwana. Akasema:
And it was in eight-teen year of the king Josiah he sent the king Shaphan [the] son of Azaliah [the] son of Meshullam the scribe [the] house of Yahweh saying.
4 “Panda uende kwa Hilkia, kuhani mkuu, umwambie ahesabu zile fedha ambazo zimeletwa katika Hekalu la Bwana, ambazo mabawabu wamekusanya kutoka kwa watu.
Go up to Hilkiah the priest great so he may complete the money which has been brought [the] house of Yahweh which they have gathered [the] keepers of the threshold from with the people.
5 Waambie waikabidhi kwa watu walioteuliwa kusimamia kazi ya Hekalu. Waamuru watu hawa wawalipe wafanyakazi ambao wanakarabati Hekalu la Bwana:
(And let them put it *Q(k)*) on [the] hand of [the] doers of the work who were appointed ([the] house of *Q(K)*) Yahweh and let them give it to [the] doers of the work who [are] in [the] house of Yahweh to repair [the] damage of the house.
6 wale maseremala, wajenzi na waashi. Waambie pia wanunue mbao na mawe yaliyochongwa ili kukarabati Hekalu.
To the craftsmen and to the builders and to the masons and to acquire wood and stones of hewing to repair the house.
7 Lakini hawahitajiki kutoa hesabu ya fedha walizokabidhiwa, kwa sababu wanafanya kwa uaminifu.”
Only not it will be accounted for with them the money which is put on hand their for in faithfulness they [are] working.
8 Hilkia kuhani mkuu akamwambia Shafani mwandishi, “Nimekipata Kitabu cha Sheria ndani ya Hekalu la Bwana.” Akampa Shafani, ambaye alikisoma.
And he said Hilkiah the priest great to Shaphan the scribe [the] scroll of the law I found in [the] house of Yahweh and he gave Hilkiah the scroll to Shaphan and he read it.
9 Kisha Shafani mwandishi akamwendea mfalme na kumpa taarifa akisema: “Maafisa wako wametoa ile fedha ambayo ilikuwa ndani ya Hekalu la Bwana na imekabidhiwa mikononi mwa wasimamizi wa marekebisho ya Hekalu.”
And he went Shaphan the scribe to the king and he brought back the king word and he said they have poured out servants your the money which was found in the house and they have put it on [the] hand of [the] doers of the work who were appointed [the] house of Yahweh.
10 Ndipo Shafani mwandishi akampasha mfalme habari kwamba: “Hilkia kuhani amenipa kitabu hiki.” Naye Shafani akakisoma kile kitabu mbele ya mfalme.
And he told Shaphan the scribe to the king saying a scroll he gave to me Hilkiah the priest and he read aloud it Shaphan before the king.
11 Mfalme aliposikia maneno ya kile Kitabu cha Sheria, akararua mavazi yake.
And it was when heard the king [the] words of [the] scroll of the law and he tore clothes his.
12 Akatoa maagizo haya kwa Hilkia kuhani, Ahikamu mwana wa Shafani, Akbori mwana wa Mikaya, Shafani mwandishi, na Asaya mtumishi wa mfalme:
And he commanded the king Hilkiah the priest and Ahikam [the] son of Shaphan and Achbor [the] son of Micaiah and - Shaphan the scribe and Asaiah [the] servant of the king saying.
13 “Nendeni mkamuulize Bwana kwa ajili yangu, na kwa ajili ya watu na Yuda wote kuhusu yale yaliyoandikwa ndani ya kitabu hiki ambacho kimepatikana. Hasira ya Bwana ni kubwa inayowaka dhidi yetu kwa sababu baba zetu hawakuyatii maneno ya kitabu hiki. Hawajatenda kulingana na yale yote yaliyoandikwa humo kutuhusu sisi.”
Go consult Yahweh for me and for the people and for all Judah on [the] words of the scroll which had been found this for [is] great [the] anger of Yahweh which it it has been kindled in us on that not they listened ancestors our to [the] words of the scroll this to do according to every [thing] written on us.
14 Hilkia kuhani, Ahikamu, Akbori, Shafani na Asaya wakaenda kuongea na nabii mke Hulda, ambaye alikuwa mke wa Shalumu mwana wa Tikwa, mwana wa Harhasi mtunzaji wa chumba cha mavazi. Hulda aliishi Yerusalemu katika Mtaa wa Pili.
And he went Hilkiah the priest and Ahikam and Achbor and Shaphan and Asaiah to Huldah the prophetess [the] wife of - Shallum [the] son of Tikvah [the] son of Harhas [the] keeper of the garments and she [was] dwelling in Jerusalem in the second district and they spoke to her.
15 Akawaambia, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli: Mwambieni yule mtu aliyewatuma ninyi kwangu,
And she said to them thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel say to the man who he sent you to me.
16 ‘Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: Nitaleta maafa juu ya mahali hapa na watu wake, kulingana na kila kitu kilichoandikwa katika kitabu hicho mfalme wa Yuda alichosoma.
Thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to bring calamity to the place this and on inhabitants its all [the] words of the scroll which he has read [the] king of Judah.
17 Kwa sababu wameniacha mimi na kufukiza uvumba kwa miungu mingine, na kunighadhibisha kwa sanamu zote zilizotengenezwa kwa mikono yao, hasira yangu itawaka dhidi ya mahali hapa, wala haitatulizwa.’
Because - that they have forsaken me and they have made smoke to gods other so as to provoke to anger me by all [the] work of hands their and it will be kindled anger my in the place this and not it will be quenched.
18 Mwambieni mfalme wa Yuda, ambaye amewatuma kumuuliza Bwana, ‘Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, kuhusu maneno uliyoyasikia:
And to [the] king of Judah who sent you to consult Yahweh thus you will say to him thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel the words which you have heard.
19 Kwa kuwa moyo wako ulikuwa msikivu na ulijinyenyekeza mbele za Bwana uliposikia kile nilichosema dhidi ya mahali hapa na watu wake, kwamba wangelaaniwa na kuachwa ukiwa, basi kwa sababu uliyararua mavazi yako na kulia mbele zangu, nimekusikia, asema Bwana.
Because it was soft heart your and you humbled yourself - from before Yahweh when hearing you [that] which I had spoken on the place this and on inhabitants its to become a horror and a curse and you tore clothes your and you wept before me and also I I have heard [the] utterance of Yahweh.
20 Kwa hiyo nitakukusanya kwa baba zako, nawe utazikwa kwa amani. Macho yako hayataona maafa yote nitakayoleta juu ya mahali hapa.’” Basi wakapeleka jibu lake kwa mfalme.
Therefore here I [will] gather you to ancestors your and you will be gathered to grave your in peace and not they will look eyes your on all the distress which I [will] bring on the place this and they brought back the king word.
