2 Wafalme 23
1 Hivyo mfalme akawatuma wajumbe waliokuwa wamemzunguka wazee wote wa Yuda na wa Yerusalemu.
and to send: depart [the] king and to gather to(wards) him all old: elder Judah and Jerusalem
2 Kisha mfalme akapanda hadi kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe, na watu wote wa Yuda na wenyeji wote wa Yerusalemu pamoja naye, na makuhani, manabii, na watu wote, kuanzia mdogo hadi mkubwa. Kisha akasoma katika masikioni kwao maneno yote ya kitabu cha agano ambalo lililokuwa limepatikana kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe.
and to ascend: rise [the] king house: temple LORD and all man Judah and all to dwell Jerusalem with him and [the] priest and [the] prophet and all [the] people to/for from small and till great: large and to call: read out in/on/with ear: hearing their [obj] all word scroll: book [the] covenant [the] to find in/on/with house: temple LORD
3 Mfalme akasimama karibu na nguzo na kufanya agano mbele ya Yahwe, kutembea pamoja na Yahwe na kukumbuka maagizo yake, kanuni zake, na sheria zake, kwa moyo wake wote na kwa roho yake yote, kuthibitisha maneno ya hili agano ambalo lililokuwa limeandikwa kwenye hiki kitabu. Hivyo watu wote wakakubaliana kusimama kwenye agano
and to stand: stand [the] king upon [the] pillar and to cut: make(covenant) [obj] [the] covenant to/for face: before LORD to/for to go: walk after LORD and to/for to keep: obey commandment his and [obj] testimony his and [obj] statute his in/on/with all heart and in/on/with all soul to/for to arise: establish [obj] word [the] covenant [the] this [the] to write upon [the] scroll: book [the] this and to stand: stand all [the] people in/on/with covenant
4 Mfalme akamwamuru Hilkia yule kuhani mkuu, makuhani chini yake, na walinzi wa lango watoe kwenye hekalu vyombo vilivyokuwa vimetengenezwa kwa ajili ya Baali na Ashera, na kwa ajili ya nyota zote za mbinguni. Akivichoma moto Yerusalimu kwenye mashamba ya bonde la Kidroni na kubeba majivu yake kwenda Betheli.
and to command [the] king [obj] Hilkiah [the] priest [the] great: large and [obj] priest [the] second and [obj] to keep: guard [the] threshold to/for to come out: send from temple LORD [obj] all [the] article/utensil [the] to make to/for Baal and to/for Asherah and to/for all army [the] heaven and to burn them from outside to/for Jerusalem in/on/with field Kidron and to lift: bear [obj] dust their Bethel Bethel
5 Akawaondoa makuhani waliokuwa wanaabudu miungu ambao wafalme wa Yuda waliwachagua ili kwa ajili ya kufukiza ubani katika mahali pa juu kwenye miji ya Yuda na sehemu zinazoizunguka Yerusalemu-wale waliokuwa wanchoma ubani kwa Baali, kwa juana kwa mwezi, kwa sayari, na kwa nyota zote za mbinguni.
and to cease [obj] [the] pagan priest which to give: put king Judah and to offer: offer in/on/with high place in/on/with city Judah and surrounds Jerusalem and [obj] [the] to offer: burn to/for Baal to/for sun and to/for moon and to/for constellation and to/for all army [the] heaven
6 Akaiondoa Ashera kutoka kwenye hekalu la Yahwe, nje ya Yerusalemu hata bonde la Kidroni na kuichoma hapo. Akaipiga kwenye mavumbi na kuiyatupa yale mavumbi kwenye makaburi ya watu wa kawaida.
and to come out: send [obj] [the] Asherah from house: temple LORD from outside to/for Jerusalem to(wards) torrent: river Kidron and to burn [obj] her in/on/with torrent: river Kidron and to crush to/for dust and to throw [obj] dust her upon grave son: child [the] people
7 Akavisafisha vyumba vya makahaba ambao walikuwa kwenye hekalu la Yahwe, ambako wanawake waliposhonea nguo kwa ajili ya Ashera
and to tear [obj] house: home [the] male cult prostitute which in/on/with house: temple LORD which [the] woman to weave there house: container to/for Asherah
8 Yosia akawaleta makuhani wote nje ya miji ya Yuda na kupanajisi mahali pa juu ambako makuhani walipokuwa wakichomea ubani, kutoka Geba hata Bersheba. Akapaharibu mahala pa juu kwenye malango ambayo yaliyokuwa ya kuingilia kwenda kwenye lango la Yoshua (liwali wa mji), upande wa kushoto wa lango la mji.
and to come (in): bring [obj] all [the] priest from city Judah and to defile [obj] [the] high place which to offer: offer there [to] [the] priest from Geba till Beersheba Beersheba and to tear [obj] high place [the] gate which entrance gate Joshua ruler [the] city which upon left man: anyone in/on/with gate [the] city
9 Ingawa makuhani wa mahali pa juu hawakuruhusiwa kuhudumu kwenye madhabahu ya Yahwe katika Yerusalemu, wakala mikate isiyotiwa chachu miongoni mwa ndugu zao.
surely not to ascend: rise priest [the] high place to(wards) altar LORD in/on/with Jerusalem that if: except if: except to eat unleavened bread in/on/with midst brother: male-sibling their
10 Yosia akainajisi Tofethi, ambayo ipo kwenye bonde la Ben Hinomu, ili kwamba mtu yeyote asimuweke mtoto wake wa kiume au binti yake kwenye moto kama sadaka kwa Molaki.
and to defile [obj] [the] Topheth which in/on/with Valley (son: child *Q(K)*) (Topheth of son of) Hinnom to/for lest to/for to pass man: anyone [obj] son: child his and [obj] daughter his in/on/with fire to/for Molech
11 Akawachukua farasi ambao wafalme wa Yuda waliokuwa wametolewa kwa ajili ya jua. Walikuwa kwenye eneo la lango la uingilia kwenye hekalu la Yahwe, karibu na chumba cha Nathani Meleki, msimamizi mkuu wa nyumba ya mfalme. Yosia akayachoma yale magari ya farasi ya jua
and to cease [obj] [the] horse which to give: give king Judah to/for sun from to come (in): towards house: temple LORD to(wards) chamber Nathan-melech Nathan-melech [the] eunuch which in/on/with colonnade and [obj] chariot [the] sun to burn in/on/with fire
12 Yosia mfalme akayaharibu madhabahu yaliyokuwa kwenye dari ya juu ya chumba cha Ahazi, ambacho wafalme wa Yuda walikitengeneza, na madhabahu ambayo Manase aliyatengeneza kwenye behewa mbili za nyumba ya Yahwe. Yosia akazivunga vipande vipande na kuvitupa kwenye bonde la Kidroni.
and [obj] [the] altar which upon [the] roof upper room Ahaz which to make king Judah and [obj] [the] altar which to make Manasseh in/on/with two court house: temple LORD to tear [the] king and to run: pieces from there and to throw [obj] dust their to(wards) torrent: river Kidron
13 Mfalme akapaangamiza mahali pa juu magharibi mwa Yerusalemu, kusini mwa mlima wa uharibifu ambapo Sulemani mfalme wa Israeli alipajenga kwa ajili ya Ashtorithi, chukizo la Wamoabu; sanamu za karaha za Wasidoni; kwa Kemoshi, sanamu za karaha wa Moabu; na kwa Moleki, sanamu wa karaha wa watu wa Amoni.
and [obj] [the] high place which upon face: before Jerusalem which from right: south to/for mountain: mount [the] destruction which to build Solomon king Israel to/for Ashtoreth abomination Sidonian and to/for Chemosh abomination Moab and to/for Milcom abomination son: descendant/people Ammon to defile [the] king
14 Akazivunja nguzo za jiwe kuwa vipande vipande na kuziangusha chini nguzo za Ashera na kuzijaza zile sehemu kwa mifupa ya watu.
and to break [obj] [the] pillar and to cut: cut [obj] [the] Asherah and to fill [obj] place their bone man
15 Yosia pia akaiteketeza kabisa madhabahu iliyokuwa Betheli na mahali pa juu ambako Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati (ambaye aliwafanya Waisraeli kuasi) aliijenga. Pia aliichoma moto ile madhabahu na mahali pa juu na kupapiga hadi pakawa vumbi. Pia akaichoma moto nguzo ya Ashera.
and also [obj] [the] altar which in/on/with Bethel Bethel [the] high place which to make Jeroboam son: child Nebat which to sin [obj] Israel also [obj] [the] altar [the] he/she/it and [obj] [the] high place to tear and to burn [obj] [the] high place to crush to/for dust and to burn Asherah
16 Yosia alipotazama kwenye lile eneo, akagundua kwamba yale makaburi yalikuwa juu ya mlima. Akawatuma watu kuichukua mifupa kutoka kwenye yale makaburi; kisha akaichoma kwenye madhabahu, akainajisi. Hii ilitokana na neno la Yahwe ambalo mtu wa Mungu aliliongea, yule mtu aliyekuwa ameongea haya mambo kabla.
and to turn Josiah and to see: see [obj] [the] grave which there in/on/with mountain: mount and to send: depart and to take: take [obj] [the] bone from [the] grave and to burn upon [the] altar and to defile him like/as word LORD which to call: call out man [the] God which to call: call out [obj] [the] word: thing [the] these
17 Kisha akasema, “Ni ukumbusho wa nani ule ninao uona?” Mtu wa ule mji akamwambia, “Lile ni kaburi la mtu wa Mungu ambaye alikuja kutoka Yuda na kuongea kuhusu haya mambo ambayo ameyafanya dhidi ya madhabahu ya Betheli.”
and to say what? [the] signpost this which I to see: see and to say to(wards) him human [the] city [the] grave man [the] God which to come (in): come from Judah and to call: call out [obj] [the] word: thing [the] these which to make: do upon [the] altar Bethel Bethel
18 Hivyo Yosia akasema, “Mwacheni. Mtu asihamishe mifupa yake.” Hivyo wakaacha mifupa yake, pamoja na mifupa ya nabii ambaye alikuja kutoka Samaria.
and to say to rest to/for him man: anyone not to shake bone his and to escape bone his [obj] bone [the] prophet which to come (in): come from Samaria
19 Kisha Yosia akahamisha nyumba zote za mahali pa juu ambazo zilikuwa katika mji wa Samaria, ambazo wafalme wa Israeli walizokuwa wamezitengeneza, na ambazo zilizokuwa zimemgadhabisha Yahwe kwa hasira.
and also [obj] all house: home [the] high place which in/on/with city Samaria which to make king Israel to/for to provoke to turn aside: remove Josiah and to make: do to/for them like/as all [the] deed which to make: do in/on/with Bethel Bethel
20 Aliwafanyia kile ambacho kilikuwa kimefanyika katika Betheli. Aliwachinja makuhani wote wa mahali pa juu ya madhabahu na aliichoma mifupa ya watu juu yao. Kisha akarudi Yerusalemu.
and to sacrifice [obj] all priest [the] high place which there upon [the] altar and to burn [obj] bone man upon them and to return: return Jerusalem
21 Kisha mfalme akawaamuru watu wote, akisema, “Itunzeni Pasaka ya Yahwe Mungu wenu, kama ilivyoandikwa kwenye hiki kitabu cha agano.”
and to command [the] king [obj] all [the] people to/for to say to make: do Passover to/for LORD God your like/as to write upon scroll: book [the] covenant [the] this
22 Hiyo Pasaka haijawahi kufanyika tangu siku za waamuzi ambao waliiongoza Israeli, wala katika siku zote za wafalme wa Israeli au Yuda.
for not to make: do like/as Passover [the] this from day [the] to judge which to judge [obj] Israel and all day king Israel and king Judah
23 Lakini katika mwaka wa kumi na nane wa Mfalme Yosia hii Pasaka ya Yahwe ilisheherekewa katika Yerusalemu.
that if: except if: except in/on/with eight ten year to/for king Josiah to make: do [the] Passover [the] this to/for LORD in/on/with Jerusalem
24 Yosia pia akawafukuza wale ambao waliokuwa wameongea na wafu au na roho. Pia aliifukuza miungu ya sananmu, sanamu, na vitu vyote ambavyo ni chukizo vilivyokuwa vinaonekana katika nchi ya Yuda na katika Yerusalemu, hivyo kwa kuthibitisha yale maneno ya sheria ambayo iliyokuwa imeandikwa kwenye kitabu cha Hilkia yule kuhani aliyekuwa amepatikana kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe.
and also [obj] [the] medium and [obj] [the] spiritist and [obj] [the] teraphim and [obj] [the] idol and [obj] all [the] abomination which to see: see in/on/with land: country/planet Judah and in/on/with Jerusalem to burn: purge Josiah because to arise: establish [obj] word [the] instruction [the] to write upon [the] scroll: book which to find Hilkiah [the] priest house: temple LORD
25 Kabla ya Yosia, hapakuwa na mfalme kama yeye, aliyekuwa amemwelekea yahwe kwa moyo wake wote, roho yake yote, na nguvu zake zote, ambaye alifuata sheria zote za Musa. Hapakuwa na mfalme kama Yosia aliyeinuka baada ya yeye.
and like him not to be to/for face: before his king which to return: return to(wards) LORD in/on/with all heart his and in/on/with all soul his and in/on/with all much his like/as all instruction Moses and after him not to arise: rise like him
26 Walakini, Yahwe hakugeuka kutoka kwenye ukali wa hasira yake, ambayo ilikuwa dhidi ya Yuda kwa waabudu wapagani wote pamoja ambao Manase aliokuwa amemgadhibisha.
surely not to return: return LORD from burning anger face: anger his [the] great: large which to be incensed face: anger his in/on/with Judah upon all [the] vexation which to provoke him Manasseh
27 Hivyo Yahwe akasema, “Pia nitaiondoa Yuda usoni kwangu, kama nilivyoiondoa Israeli, na nitautupilia mbali huu mji ambao nilio uchagua, Yerusalemu, na ile nyumba ambayo niliyokuwa nimesema, 'Jina langu litakuwa humo.”'
and to say LORD also [obj] Judah to turn aside: remove from upon face my like/as as which to turn aside: remove [obj] Israel and to reject [obj] [the] city [the] this which to choose [obj] Jerusalem and [obj] [the] house: home which to say to be name my there
28 Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayo muhusu Yosia, kila kitu alichofanya, je vimeandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Yuda?
and remainder word: deed Josiah and all which to make: do not they(masc.) to write upon scroll: book Chronicles [the] day to/for king Judah
29 Katika siku zake, Farao Neko, mfalme wa Misri, alienda kupigana dhidi ya mfalme wa Ashuru huko mto Frati. Mfalme Yosia akaenda kuonana na Neco katika mapigano, na Neko akamuua huko Megido.
in/on/with day his to ascend: rise Pharaoh (Neco) (Pharaoh) Neco king Egypt upon king Assyria upon river Euphrates and to go: went [the] king Josiah to/for to encounter: meet him and to die him in/on/with Megiddo like/as to see: see he [obj] him
30 Watumishi wa Yosia wakambeba kwenye gari la farasi akiwa amekufa kutoka Migido, kumleta Yerusalemu, na kumzika katika kaburi lake mwenyewe. Kisha watu wa nchi wakamchukua Yehoahazi mwana wa Yosia, wakamtia mafuta, na kumfanya kuwa mfalme katika mahali pake.
and to ride him servant/slave his to die from Megiddo and to come (in): bring him Jerusalem and to bury him in/on/with tomb his and to take: take people [the] land: country/planet [obj] Jehoahaz son: child Josiah and to anoint [obj] him and to reign [obj] him underneath: instead father his
31 Yehoahazi alikuwa na umri wa miaka ishirini na tatu alipoanza kutawala, na alitawala miezi mitatu katika Yerusalemu. Mama yake alikuwa akiitwa Hamutali; alikuwa binti wa Yeremia wa Libana.
son: aged twenty and three year Jehoahaz in/on/with to reign he and three month to reign in/on/with Jerusalem and name mother his Hamutal daughter Jeremiah from Libnah
32 Yehoahazi alifanya yaliyo maovu usoni kwa Yahwe, kama kila kitu ambacho babu zake walichokifanya.
and to make: do [the] bad: evil in/on/with eye: seeing LORD like/as all which to make: do father his
33 Farao Neko akamfunga gerezani huko Ribla katika nchi ya Hamathi, hivyo asiweze kutawala katika Yerusalemu. Kisha Neko akaitoza Yuda talanta mia moja za fedha na talanta moja ya dhahabu.
and to bind him Pharaoh (Neco) (Pharaoh) Neco in/on/with Riblah in/on/with land: country/planet Hamath (from to reign *Q(K)*) in/on/with Jerusalem and to give: put fine upon [the] land: country/planet hundred talent silver: money and talent gold
34 Farao Neko akamfanya Eliakimu mwana wa Yosia mfalme katika mahali pa Yosia baba yake, na kubadilisha jina lake kuwa Yehoyakimu. Lakini akamchukua mfalme Yehoahazi kwenda Misri, na Yehoahazi akafia huko.
and to reign Pharaoh (Neco) (Pharaoh) Neco [obj] Eliakim son: child Josiah underneath: instead Josiah father his and to turn: changed [obj] name his Jehoiakim and [obj] Jehoahaz to take: take and to come (in): come Egypt and to die there
35 Yehoyakimu akalipa fedha na dhahabu kwa Farao. Ili akutane na amri ya Farao, Yehoyakimu akaitoza nchi na kulazimisha kila mtu miongoni mwa watu wa nchi wamlipe fedha na dhahabu kulingana na makadirio yao.
and [the] silver: money and [the] gold to give: give Jehoiakim to/for Pharaoh surely to value [obj] [the] land: country/planet to/for to give: give [obj] [the] silver: money upon lip: word Pharaoh man: anyone like/as valuation his to oppress [obj] [the] silver: money and [obj] [the] gold [obj] people [the] land: country/planet to/for to give: give to/for Pharaoh (Pharaoh) Neco
36 Yehoyakimu alikuwa na umri wa miaka ishirini na tano alipoanza kutawala, na alitawala miaka kumi na moja katika Yerusalemu. Mama yake alikuwa akiitwa Zebida; alikuwa binti wa Pedaia wa Ruma.
son: aged twenty and five year Jehoiakim in/on/with to reign he and one ten year to reign in/on/with Jerusalem and name mother his (Zebidah *Q(K)*) daughter Pedaiah from Rumah
37 Yehoyakimu akafanya yale yaliyo maovu usoni kwa Yahwe, kama waliyoyafanya babu zake.
and to make: do [the] bad: evil in/on/with eye: seeing LORD like/as all which to make: do father his
