< 2 Wafalme 22 >
1 Yosia alikuwa na umri wa miaka minane wakati alipoanza kutawala; alitawala kwa mda wa miaka thelathini na moja katika Yerusalemu. Mama yake alikuwa anaitwa Yedida (Alikuwa binti wa Adaye wa Bozkathi).
[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 Alifanya yale yaliyo mema usoni mwa Yahwe. Alitembea kwenye njia zote za Daudi babu yake, na hakugeuka wala upande wa kulia au 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 Ikawa kwamba katika mwaka wa kumi na nane mfalme Yosia, akamtuma Shafani mwana wa Azalia mwana wa Meshulamu, mwandishi, kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe, akisema,
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 juu kwa Hilkia yule kuhani mkuu na mwambie ahesabu pesa ambazo zilizokuwa zimeletwa kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe, ambazo walinzi wa hekalu wamezikusanya 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 Zigawanywe kwenye mikono ya wafanyakazi ambao ni wasimamizi wa nyumba ya Yahwe, na waache wawapatie wafanya kazi ambao wako kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe, ili waweze kutengeneza pale palipoharibika.
(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 Wapewe pesa maseremala, wajenzi, na waashi, na pia kununua mbao na kukata jiwe kukarabati nyumba ya Yahwe.”
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 zile pesa hazikutakiwa kuhesabiwa wakati walipokuwa wanapewa, kwa sababu waliimudu ile kazi 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 yule mwandishi, “Nimekipata kitabu cha sheria katika nyumba ya Yahwe.” Basi Hilkia akampatia kile kitabu Shafani, na kukisoma.
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 Shafani akaenda na kuchukua kile kitabu kwa mfalme, na pia kumjulisha, akisema, “Watumishi wako wamezitumia zile pesa ambazo zilizokuwa zimepatikana kwenye hekalu na zimegawiwa kwenye mikono ya wafanya kazi ambao husimamia kuangalia nyumba ya Yahwe.”
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 Kisha Shafani yule mwandishi akamwambia mfalme, “Hilkia yule kuhani amenipatia kitabu.” Kisha Shafani akakisoma 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 Ikawa kwamba wakati mfalme aliposikia maneno ya sheria, alichana nguo zake.
And it was when heard the king [the] words of [the] scroll of the law and he tore clothes his.
12 Kisha mfalme akamwamuru Hilkia yule kuhani, Ahikamu mwana wa Shafani, Akbori mwana wa Mikaya, Shafani mwandishi, na Asaya, mtumishi wake mwenyewe, akisema,
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 Nenda na ukaongee pamoja na Yahwe kwa ajili yangu, na kwa ajili ya watu na kwa Yuda yote, kwa sababu ya maneno ya hiki kitabu ambacho kilichopatikana. Kwa hasira kubwa ya Yahwe ambayo ametukasirikia dhidi yetu kwa sababu babu zetu hawakusikiliza maneno ya hiki kitabu hivyo kama kutii yote ambayo yalikuwa yameandikwa kuhusiana na 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 Basi Hilkia yule kuhani, Ahikamu, Akbori, Shafani, na Asaya wakaenda kwa Hulda nabii wa kike, mke wa Shalumu mwana wa Tikva mwana wa Harhasi, mtunza kabati la nguo (aliishi katika Yerusalemu katika mtaa wa pili), na wakaongea pamoja naye.
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 Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli, asemavyo: 'Mwambie huyu mtu aliyekutuma 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 Yahwe asemavyo: 'Tazama, nitaleta janga kwenye hii sehemu na juu ya wakaao hapa, kulingana na kila kitu kilichoandikwa kwenye kitabu ambacho mfalme wa Yuda alichokisoma.
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 wamenitelekeza na kufukiza ubani kwa miungu mingine, hivyo basi wanaweza kunichochea hasira pamoja na matendo yote waliyoyafanya-kwa hiyo hasira yangu ilikuwa inawaka dhidi ya hii sehemu, na haitazimika.”'
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 Lakini kwa mfalme wa Yuda, aliye watuma kuuliza mapenzi ya Yahwe, hivi ndivyo mtakavyo mwambia: “Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli asema hivi: Kuhusu yale 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 sababu moyo wako ulikuwa mlaini, na kwa sababu umejinyenyekesha mwenyewe mbele za Yahwe, wakati uliposikia nilichokisema dhidi ya hii sehemu na wenyeji wake, kwamba wanaweza kuwa wakiwa na laana, na kwasaabu ulizozirarua nguo zako na kulia mbele yangu, Nami pia nimekusikia-hivi ndivyo Yahwe asemavyo.
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 Tazama, nitakukusanya na babu zako, nawe utawekwa kaburini kwako kwa amani. Macho yako hayataona maafa yote ambayo nitayaleta kwenye hii sehemu. “"” Hivyo watu wakachukua ujumbe huu kuurudisha 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.
