2 Kings 22

1 Josiah jẹ́ ọmọ ọdún mẹ́jọ nígbà tí ó di ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mọ́kànlélọ́gbọ̀n. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ a máa jẹ́ Jedida ọmọbìnrin Adaiah; ó wá láti Boskati.

Josiah was eight years old when he had begun to reign. He reigned for thirty-one years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah, from Bozkath.

2 Ó sì ṣe èyí tí ó dára lójú Olúwa, ó sì rìn ní ọ̀nà Dafidi baba a rẹ̀, kò sì yípadà sí apá ọ̀tún tàbí sí apá òsì.

And he did what was pleasing before the Lord, and he walked in all the ways of his father David. He did not turn aside to the right, or to the left.

3 Ní ọdún kejìdínlógún tí ó fi jẹ ọba. Ọba Josiah rán akọ̀wé, Ṣafani ọmọ Asalia, ọmọ Meṣullamu, sí ilé Olúwa. Ó wí pé,

Then, in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe of the temple of the Lord, saying to him:

4 “Gòkè lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Hilkiah olórí àlùfáà, kí o sì jẹ́ kí ó ṣírò iye owó tí a mú wá sí ilé Olúwa, tí àwọn olùṣọ́nà ti gbà lọ́wọ́ àwọn ènìyàn.

“Go to Hilkiah, the high priest, so that the money may be put together which has been brought into the temple of the Lord, which the doorkeepers of the temple have collected from the people.

5 Ẹ sì jẹ́ kí wọn ó fi lé àwọn ọkùnrin tí a ti yàn láti bojútó iṣẹ́ náà lórí ilé Olúwa. Kí ẹ sì jẹ́ kí àwọn ọkùnrin san án fún àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ tí ó ń tún ilé Olúwa ṣe.

And let it be given, by those in charge of the house of the Lord, to the workers. And let them distribute it to those who are working in the temple of the Lord in order to repair the surfaces of the temple,

6 Àwọn gbẹ́nàgbẹ́nà, àwọn ọ̀mọ̀lé àti àwọn akọ́lé. Bákan náà ni wọ́n ra igi àti òkúta ọlọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ láti fi tún tẹmpili ṣe.

specifically, to carpenters and masons, and to those who mend gaps, and so that wood may be purchased, and stones from the quarries, in order to repair the temple of the Lord.

7 Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò ní láti ṣe ìṣirò fún owó náà tí a fi fún wọn, nítorí wọ́n ṣe òtítọ́.”

Yet truly, let no account be given by them of the money that they receive. Instead, let them have it within their power and trust.”

8 Hilkiah olórí àlùfáà sọ fún Ṣafani akọ̀wé pé, “Èmi rí ìwé òfin nílé Olúwa.” Ó fi fún Ṣafani, ẹni tí ó kà á.

Then Hilkiah, the high priest, said to Shaphan, the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord.” And Hilkiah gave the volume to Shaphan, and he read it.

9 Nígbà náà, Ṣafani akọ̀wé lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba. Ó sì sọ fún un pé, “Àwọn ìjòyè rẹ ti san owó náà tí ó wà nínú ilé Olúwa. Èmi sì ti fi lé ọwọ́ àwọn tí ó ń ṣe iṣẹ́ náà àti àwọn alábojútó nílé Olúwa.”

Also, Shaphan, the scribe, went to the king, and reported to him what he had instructed. And he said: “Your servants have brought together the money which was found in the house of the Lord. And they have given it so that it would be distributed to the workers by the overseers of the works of the temple of the Lord.”

10 Nígbà náà Ṣafani akọ̀wé sọ fún ọba pé, “Hilkiah àlùfáà ti fún un ní ìwé kan.” Ṣafani kà lára rẹ̀ níwájú ọba.

Also, Shaphan, the scribe, explained to the king, saying, “Hilkiah, the priest, gave the book to me.” And when Shaphan had read it before the king,

11 Nígbà tí ọba gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó wà nínú ìwé òfin, ó sì fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya.

and the king had heard the words of the book of the law of the Lord, he tore his garments.

12 Ó pa àṣẹ yìí fún Ahikamu àlùfáà, Hilkiah ọmọ Ṣafani, Akbori ọmọ Mikaiah, àti Ṣafani akọ̀wé àti Asaiah ìránṣẹ́ ọba.

And he instructed 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 “Lọ, ẹ béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa fún mi àti fún àwọn ènìyàn àti fún gbogbo Juda nípa ohun tí a kọ sínú ìwé yìí tí a ti rí. Títóbi ni ìbínú Olúwa tí ó ń jó sí wa nítorí àwọn baba wa kò tẹ̀lé ọ̀rọ̀ inú ìwé yìí; wọn kò ṣe ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú gbogbo ohun tí a kọ níbẹ̀ nípa wa.”

“Go and consult the Lord concerning me, and the people, and all of Judah, about the words of this volume which has been found. For the great wrath of the Lord has been kindled against us because our fathers did not listen to the words of this book, so that they would do all that has been written for us.”

14 Hilkiah àlùfáà, Ahikamu àti Akbori Ṣafani pẹ̀lú Asaiah, lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ wòlíì obìnrin Hulda láti lọ bá a sọ̀rọ̀, ẹni tí ó jẹ́ aya Ṣallumu ọmọ Tikfa ọmọ Harhasi alábojútó ibi ìpa aṣọ mọ́ sí. Ó ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu ní ìdàkejì.

Therefore, Hilkiah, the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah, the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, the keeper of the vestments, who was living in Jerusalem, in the second part. And they spoke with her.

15 Ó wí fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí, Sọ fún ọkùnrin tí ó rán an yín sí mi,

And she responded to them: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Tell the man who sent you to me:

16 ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: Èmi yóò mú ibi wá sí ibí àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú gbogbo ohun tí a kọ sínú ìwé tí ọba Juda ti kà.

Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will lead evils over this place, and over its inhabitants, all the words of the law that the king of Judah has read.

17 Nítorí tí wọ́n ti kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì tún sun tùràrí fún ọlọ́run mìíràn. Wọ́n sì mú mi bínú nípa gbogbo àwọn òrìṣà tí wọ́n ti fi ọwọ́ wọn dá. Ìbínú mi yóò ru sí ibí yìí, kì yóò sì rọlẹ̀.’

For they have abandoned me, and they have sacrificed to foreign gods, provoking me by all the works of their hands. And so my indignation will be kindled against this place. And it will not be extinguished.

18 Sọ fún ọba Juda tí ó rán yín láti béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí nípa ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí ìwọ ti gbọ́.

But to the king of Judah, who sent you so that you would consult the Lord, so shall you say: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: In so far as you have heard the words of the volume,

19 Nítorí tí ọkàn rẹ rọ̀, tí ìwọ sì ti rẹ ara rẹ sílẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa, nígbà tí ìwọ gbọ́ èyí tí mo sọ sí ibí yìí àti sí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ pé wọn yóò di ahoro àti ẹni ègún tí ìwọ sì fa aṣọ ọ̀ rẹ ya pẹ̀lú níwájú mi. Èmi ti gbọ́ tìrẹ, ni Olúwa wí.

and your heart was terrified, and you humbled yourself before the Lord, listening to the words against this place and its inhabitants, specifically, that they would become an astonishment and a curse, and because you have torn your garments, and have wept before me: I also have heard you, says the Lord.

20 Nítorí náà èmi yóò kó ọ jọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn baba à rẹ, a ó sì sin ọ́ ní àlàáfíà. Ojú rẹ kì yóò rí gbogbo àwọn ibi tí èmi yóò mú wá bá ibí yìí.’” Bẹ́ẹ̀ wọ́n mú èsì rẹ̀ padà tọ ọba wá.

For this reason, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your sepulcher in peace, so that your eyes may not see all the evils that I will bring over this place.”
