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 began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of 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.
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, and walked in all the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn away to the right hand 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,
In the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the LORD’s house, saying,
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 up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may count the money which is brought into the LORD’s house, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered of 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.
Let them deliver it into the hand of the workers who have the oversight of the LORD’s house; and let them give it to the workers who are in the LORD’s house, to repair the damage to the house,
6 Àwọn gbẹ́nàgbẹ́nà, àwọn ọ̀mọ̀lé àti àwọn akọ́lé. Bákan náà ni wọ́n ra igi àti òkúta ọlọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ láti fi tún tẹmpili ṣe.
to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house.
7 Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò ní láti ṣe ìṣirò fún owó náà tí a fi fún wọn, nítorí wọ́n ṣe òtítọ́.”
However, no accounting shall be asked of them for the money delivered into their hand, for they deal faithfully.”
8 Hilkiah olórí àlùfáà sọ fún Ṣafani akọ̀wé pé, “Èmi rí ìwé òfin nílé Olúwa.” Ó fi fún Ṣafani, ẹni tí ó kà á.
Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the scroll of the Torah in the LORD’s house.” Hilkiah delivered the book 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.”
Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, “Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hands of the workmen who have the oversight of the LORD’s house.”
10 Nígbà náà Ṣafani akọ̀wé sọ fún ọba pé, “Hilkiah àlùfáà ti fún un ní ìwé kan.” Ṣafani kà lára rẹ̀ níwájú ọba.
Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered a book to me.” Then Shaphan read it before the king.
11 Nígbà tí ọba gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó wà nínú ìwé òfin, ó sì fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya.
When the king had heard the words of the scroll of the Torah, he tore his clothes.
12 Ó pa àṣẹ yìí fún Ahikamu àlùfáà, Hilkiah ọmọ Ṣafani, Akbori ọmọ Mikaiah, àti Ṣafani akọ̀wé àti Asaiah ìránṣẹ́ ọba.
The king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Achbor the son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, 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 inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found; for great is the LORD’s wrath that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written concerning 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.
So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked 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,
She said to them, “The LORD the God of Israel says, ‘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.
“The LORD says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the words of the book which 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.’
Because they have forsaken me and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it will not be quenched.’”
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 to inquire of the LORD, tell him, “The LORD the God of Israel says, ‘Concerning the words which you have heard,
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.
because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have torn your clothes and 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.
‘Therefore behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the evil which I will bring on this place.’”’” So they brought this message back to the king.
