2 Chronicles 34
1 Josiah sì jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́jọ nígbà tí ó jẹ ọba, ó sì dí ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mọ́kànlélọ́gbọ̀n.
Eight years old was Josiah when he became king, and thirty and one years did he reign in Jerusalem.
2 Ó sì ṣe ohun tí ó dára ní ojú Olúwa, ó sì rìn ọ̀nà baba rẹ̀ Dafidi, kò sì yà sí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún tàbí òsì.
And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father, and turned not aside to the right or to the left.
3 Ní ọdún kẹjọ ìjọba rẹ̀, nígbà tí ó sì wà ní ọ̀dọ́mọdé, ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í wá ojú Ọlọ́run baba Dafidi. Ní ọdún kejìlá. Ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí fọ Juda àti Jerusalẹmu mọ́ kúrò ní ibi gíga rẹ̀, ère òrìṣà Aṣerah, àti ère yíyá àti ère dídà.
And in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet a lad, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purify Judah and Jerusalem from the high-places, and the Asherim, and the carved images, and the molten images.
4 Lábẹ́ àpẹẹrẹ àwọn pẹpẹ Baali ni a yí lulẹ̀, ó sì fọ́ àwọn ère sí wẹ́wẹ́, ó run àwọn pẹpẹ tí ó wà lórí rẹ̀, wọ́n sì fọ́ túútúú, àwọn ère Aṣerah àti àwọn òrìṣà. Èyí tí ó fọ́ wọn sì lúúlúú, ó sì gbọ̀n wọ́n sí orí isà òkú àti àwọn tí ó ń rú ẹbọ sí wọn.
And they broke down in his presence the altars of the Be'alim, and the sun-images, that were set above them, he cut down; and the Asherim, and the carved images, and the molten images, he broke in pieces, and ground down, and strewed [the same] upon the graves of those that had sacrificed unto them.
5 Ó sì sun àwọn egungun àwọn àlùfáà lórí pẹpẹ wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni ó sì wẹ Juda àti Jerusalẹmu mọ́.
And the bones of priests did he burn upon their altars; and he purified Judah and Jerusalem.
6 Ní ìlú Manase, Efraimu àti Simeoni, àní títí ó fi dé Naftali, àti nínú àwọn, ó tú ilé wọn yíkákiri.
And [so did he] in the cities of Menasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even as far as Naphtali, with their mattocks, round about.
7 Ó sì wó pẹpẹ àti ère Aṣerah lulẹ̀ àti àwọn ère yíyá àti àwọn òrìṣà, ó sì gùn ó sì ti ké gbogbo àwọn ère orí pẹpẹ lulẹ̀ ní gbogbo àyíká Israẹli. Lẹ́yìn náà ó padà sí Jerusalẹmu.
And when he had broken down the altars and had beaten the Asherim and the graven images into powder, and cut down all the sun-images throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
8 Ní ọdún kejìdínlógún ìjọba Josiah ni a ti wẹ ilẹ̀ náà mọ́ àti ilé Olúwa, ó sì rán Ṣafani ọmọ Asalia àti Maaseiah olórí ìlú náà, pẹ̀lú Joah, ọmọ Joahasi, akọ̀wé, láti tún ilé Olúwa Ọlọ́run ṣe.
And in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purified the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azalyahu, and Ma'asseyahu the governor of the city and Joach the son of Joachaz the recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God.
9 Wọ́n sì lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Hilkiah olórí àlùfáà, ó sì fún un ní owó náà tí ó mú wá sí inú ilé Ọlọ́run, ti àwọn ọmọ Lefi ẹni tí ó jẹ́ aṣọ́bodè ti gbà láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn Manase Efraimu àti láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ìyókù Israẹli àti ọ̀dọ̀ gbogbo ènìyàn Juda àti Benjamini wọ́n sì padà sí Jerusalẹmu.
And they came to Chilkiyahu the high-priest, and gave up the money that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites that watched at the threshold had gathered from the hand of Menasseh and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah and Benjamin, and were returned to Jerusalem.—
10 Nígbà náà ni wọn sì fi le àwọn tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ ilé lọ́wọ́, àwọn tí ń ṣe alábojútó iṣẹ́ ilé Olúwa. Àwọn ọkùnrin yìí sì san owó fún àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ tí ó ń túnṣe, tí wọ́n sì ń ṣiṣẹ́ ní ilé Olúwa.
And they delivered it into the hand of those who overlooked the workmen that had been appointed as overseers of the house of the Lord: and those who overlooked the workmen, who did the work in the house of the Lord, gave it out, to repair and to restore the house,
11 Wọ́n sì tún fi owó fún àwọn oníṣọ̀nà àti àwọn olùkọ́lé láti ra òkúta gbígbẹ́ àti ìtì igi fún ìsopọ̀ àti igi rírẹ́ fún ìkọ́lé tí ọba Juda ti gbà láti túnṣe.
And they gave it to the carpenters and to the builders to buy hewn stone and timber for joists, and to lay the beams in the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
12 Àwọn ọkùnrin náà ṣe iṣẹ́ náà pẹ̀lú òtítọ́, láti darí wọn ní Jahati àti Obadiah, àwọn ọmọ Lefi láti Merari, àti Sekariah àti Meṣullamu, sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti Kohati àwọn ọmọ Lefi gbogbo tí ó ní ọgbọ̀n ohun èlò orin.
And the men acted faithfully in the work: and over them were appointed Jachath and 'Obadyahu, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kehathites, to supervise; and every one of these Levites was skilful on instruments of music.
13 Wọ́n sì ní olórí àwọn aláàárù àti àwọn alábojútó gbogbo àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ láti ibi iṣẹ́ sí ibi iṣẹ́, díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọmọ Lefi sì ní akọ̀wé, olùtọ́jú àti olùṣọ́nà.
They were also over the bearers of burdens and supervisors over all that did the work in every manner of service: and from the Levites there were also scribes, and officers, and gatekeepers.
14 Nígbà tí wọ́n mú owó náà tí wọ́n mú wá sí ilé Olúwa, Hilkiah àlùfáà sì rí ìwé òfin Olúwa tí a ti fi fún un láti ọwọ́ Mose.
And when they took out the money that had been brought into the house of the Lord, Chilkiyahu the priest found the book of the law of the Lord through the hand of Moses.
15 Hilkiah sì wí fún Ṣafani akọ̀wé pé, “Èmi ti rí ìwé òfin nínú ilé Olúwa.” Ó sì fi fún Ṣafani.
Then commenced Chilkiyahu and said to Shaphan the scribe, The book of the law have I found in the house of the Lord. And Chilkiyahu gave the book to Shaphan.
16 Nígbà náà Ṣafani sì mú ìwé náà lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba ó sì ròyìn fún un. “Àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ ń ṣe gbogbo nǹkan tí a ti fi lé wọn lọ́wọ́.
And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king also word back again, saying, All that was put in the hand of thy servants, have they truly done.
17 Wọ́n ti san owó náà tí ó wà nínú ilé Olúwa wọ́n sì ti fi lé àwọn alábojútó lọ́wọ́ àti àwọn òṣìṣẹ́.”
And they have taken out the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and have delivered it into the hand of the appointed overseers, and into the hand of those who overlook the workmen.
18 Nígbà náà Ṣafani akọ̀wé sì sọ fún ọba, “Hilkiah àlùfáà ti fún mi ní ìwé.” Ṣafani sì kà níwájú ọba.
Then told Shaphan the scribe the king, saying, A book hath Chilkiyahu the priest given me. And Shaphan read in it before the king.
19 Nígbà tí ọba sì gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ òfin, ó sì fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya.
And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.
20 Ó sì pa àṣẹ yìí fún Hilkiah, Ahikamu ọmọ Ṣafani, Abdoni ọmọ Mika, Ṣafani akọ̀wé àti Asaiah ìránṣẹ́ ọba.
And the king commanded Chilkiyahu, and Achikam the son of Shaphan, and 'Abdon the son of Michah, and Shaphan the scribe, and 'Assayah a servant of the king's, saying,
21 “Ẹ lọ kí ẹ lọ béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa fún mi nípa àwọn ìyókù Israẹli àti Juda nípa ohun tí wọ́n kọ sínú ìwé yìí tí a ti rí. Títóbi ni ìbínú Olúwa tí ó ti jáde sí orí wa nítorí àwọn baba wa kò ti pa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa mọ́, wọn kò sì tí ì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí i gbogbo èyí tí a kọ sínú ìwé yìí.”
Go ye, inquire of the Lord in my behalf, and in behalf of those that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that hath been found; for great is the fury of the Lord that is poured out against us, because our fathers did not keep the word of the Lord, to do in accordance with all that is written in this book.
22 Hilkiah àti àwọn ènìyàn tí ọba yàn tọ Hulda wòlíì obìnrin láti ba sọ̀rọ̀, ẹni tí ó jẹ́ aya Ṣallumu ọmọ Tokhati tí a tún ń pè ní Tikfa, ọmọ Harhasi, olùtọ́jú ibi ìkáṣọsí. Ó sì ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu, ní ìhà kejì.
Then went Chilkiyahu with those whom the king [had appointed], to Chuldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Thoknath, the son of Chassrah, the keeper of the wardrobe; —now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the suburb; —and they spoke to her in that wise.
23 Ó sì wí fún wọn wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli ti sọ, sọ fún àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó rán ọ sí mi pé,
And she said unto them, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Say unto the man that hath sent you to me,
24 ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, “Èmi yóò sì mú ibi wá sí ìhín yìí àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ gbogbo àní ègún tí a kọ sínú ìwé tí wọ́n ti kà níwájú ọba Juda.”
Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon its inhabitants, all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah;
25 Nítorí tí wọ́n ti kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀ wọ́n sì ti sun tùràrí sí ọlọ́run mìíràn wọ́n sì ti mú mi bínú pẹ̀lú gbogbo ohun tí wọ́n ti fi ọwọ́ wọn ṣe, ìbínú yóò tú jáde wá sórí ibí yìí, a kì yóò sì paná rẹ̀.’
Because they have forsaken me, and have burnt incense unto other gods, in order to provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands: therefore is my fury poured out upon this place, and it shall not be quenched.
26 Sọ fún ọba Juda, ẹni tí ó rán yín láti béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa ti sọ, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, sọ nípa ọ̀rọ̀ wọ́n nì tí ìwọ gbọ́.
And with respect to the king of Judah, who sendeth you to inquire of the Lord, thus shall ye say to him, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Concerning the words which thou hast heard;
27 Nítorí ọkàn rẹ̀ dúró, ìwọ sì rẹ ara rẹ sílẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa nígbà tí ó gbọ́ ohun tí ó sọ lórí ibí yìí àti ènìyàn rẹ, nítorí ìwọ rẹ ara rẹ sílẹ̀ níwájú mi tí o sì fa aṣọ rẹ ya, tí o sì lọ níwájú mi. Èmi ti gbọ́ tìrẹ ni Olúwa wí.
Because thy heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardst his words against this place, and against its inhabitants, and didst humble thyself before me, and rend thy clothes, and weep before me: I have also truly heard it, saith the Lord.
28 Nísinsin yìí, Èmi ó kó ọ jọ pọ̀ sọ́dọ̀ àwọn baba rẹ, a ó sì sin ọ́ ní àlàáfíà. Ojú rẹ kò sì ní rí gbogbo ibi tí èmi ó mú wá sórí ibí yìí àti lórí àwọn tí ń gbé ibẹ̀.’” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n mú ìdáhùn rẹ̀ padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba.
Behold, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy graves in peace, and thy eyes shall not look on all the evil which I am bringing over this place, and over its inhabitants. And they brought the king word again.
29 Nígbà náà ni ọba sì pe gbogbo àwọn àgbàgbà Juda jọ àti Jerusalẹmu.
And the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
30 Ó gòkè lọ sí ilé Olúwa pẹ̀lú àwọn ọkùnrin Juda, àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu, àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn Lefi—gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn láti ibi kéékèèké sí ńlá. Ó kà á sí etí ìgbọ́ ọ wọn, gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó wà nínú ìwé májẹ̀mú, tí a ti rí nínú ilé Olúwa.
And the king went up into the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, from the great to the small; and he read before their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which had been found in the house of the Lord.
31 Ọba sì dúró ní ipò rẹ̀ ó sì tún májẹ̀mú dá níwájú Olúwa, láti tẹ̀lé Olúwa àti láti pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́, àti ẹ̀rí rẹ̀ àti àṣẹ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn rẹ̀ àti gbogbo àyà rẹ̀ àti láti pa ọ̀rọ̀ májẹ̀mú tí a kọ sí inú ìwé yìí.
And the king stood up on his stand, and he made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that are written in this book.
32 Nígbà náà, ó sì mú kí gbogbo ènìyàn ní Jerusalẹmu àti Benjamini dúró nínú ẹ̀rí fún ara wọn, àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu ṣe èyí gẹ́gẹ́ bi májẹ̀mú Ọlọ́run, Ọlọ́run baba ńlá wọn.
And he caused to accede to it every one that was present in Jerusalem and Benjamin. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem acted in accordance with the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
33 Josiah sì kó gbogbo ohun ìríra kúrò nínú gbogbo ìlú tí ń ṣe ti àwọn tí ó wà ní Israẹli, ó sì mú kí gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà ní Israẹli sin Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe wà láyè wọn, kò yà kúrò láti máa tọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba wọn lẹ́yìn.
And Josiah removed all the abominations out of all the countries that belonged to the children of Israel, and caused all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve the Lord their God. All his days did they not depart from following the Lord God of their fathers.
