2 Meʻa Hokohoko 34
1Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
1NAʻE valu taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Sosaia ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma taha.
2And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father; and he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
2Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai, pea naʻe ʻikai afe ia ki he nima toʻomataʻu pe ki he toʻohema.
3For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet a boy, he began to seek the God of David his father, and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherim, and the carved and the metal images.
3He koeʻuhi ʻi hono valu taʻu ʻo ʻene pule, ʻi heʻene kei siʻi, naʻa ne kamata kumi ki he ʻOtua ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai: pea ʻi hono hongofulu ma ua taʻu, naʻa ne kamata ʻene ʻauhani ʻa Siuta mo Selūsalema mei he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, mo e ngaahi vao tapu, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻe tā, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻe haka.
4And they chopped down the altars of the Baals in his presence, and he cut down the incense altars that stood above them. And he broke in pieces the Asherim and the carved and the metal images, and he made dust of them and scattered it over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
4Pea naʻa nau holoki hifo ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatātā ʻa Peali, ʻi hono ʻao: pea mo e ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻe māʻolunga ʻi ai, naʻa ne tā hifo ia: pea naʻa ne tā ke fakaikiiki ʻae ngaahi vao tapu, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻe tā, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻe haka, naʻa ne laiki ia ke efu, pea ne lulu ia ki he ngaahi tanuʻanga ʻokinautolu naʻa nau feilaulau ki ai.
5He also burned the bones of the priests on their altars and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
5Pea naʻe tutu ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi hui ʻoe kau taula ki honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, ʻo ne fakamaʻa ʻa Siuta mo Selūsalema.
6And in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, and as far as Naphtali, in their ruins all around,
6Pea naʻe fai pehē pe ia ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Manase, mo ʻIfalemi, mo Simione, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki Nafitalai, ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi toki ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻi ai.
7he broke down the altars and beat the Asherim and the images into powder and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
7Pea hili ʻene fesiʻi hifo ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga mo e ngaahi vao tapu, ʻo ne tuki ke efu ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatātā, ʻo ne tā hifo ʻae ngaahi tamapua kotoa pē ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻe toki liliu mai ia ki Selūsalema.
8Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had cleansed the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz, the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.
8Pea ʻi hono hongofulu ma valu talu ʻo ʻene pule, hili ʻene ʻauhani ʻae fonua, mo e fale, naʻe fekau ʻe ia ʻa Safani ko e foha ko ʻAsalia, mo Māseia ko e pule ʻoe kolo, mo Soa ko e foha ʻo Soasi, ko e tangata tohi, ke nau ngaohi ke lelei ʻae fale ʻo Sihova.
9They came to Hilkiah the high priest and gave him the money that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had collected from Manasseh and Ephraim and from all the remnant of Israel and from all Judah and Benjamin and from the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
9Pea ʻi heʻenau haʻu kia Hilikia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi paʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe tānaki ʻe he kau Livai naʻe leʻohi ʻae ngaahi matapā mei he nima ʻo Manase mo ʻIfalemi, pea mei he kakai toe kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ʻi Siuta kotoa pē mo Penisimani; pea naʻa nau liu mai ki Selūsalema.
10And they gave it to the workmen who were working in the house of the LORD. And the workmen who were working in the house of the LORD gave it for repairing and restoring the house.
10Pea naʻa nau tuku ia ki he nima ʻoe kau tangata ngāue ʻaia naʻe tauhi ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa nau ʻatu ia ki he kau tangata ngāue naʻe fai ʻae ngāue ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ke toe ngaohi mo fakalelei ʻae fale:
11They gave it to the carpenters and the builders to buy quarried stone, and timber for binders and beams for the buildings that the kings of Judah had let go to ruin.
11ʻIo, naʻa nau ʻatu ia ki he kau tufunga mo e kau langa fale, ke fakatauʻaki ʻae ngaahi maka kuo tā, mo e ʻakau maʻae ngaahi hokoʻanga alanga, pea ki he faliki ʻoe ngaahi fale ʻaia naʻe maumauʻi ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta.
12And the men did the work faithfully. Over them were set Jahath and Obadiah the Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to have oversight. The Levites, all who were skillful with instruments of music,
12Pea naʻe fai lelei ʻae ngāue ʻe he kau tangata: pea ko e kau enginaki ngāue kiate kinautolu, ko Sehati mo ʻOpataia, ko e ongo Livai ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo Melali: mo Sakalia mo Mesulami, ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe kau Kohate, ke tokoni ʻa hono fai: pea mo e kau Livai niʻihi, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe loto poto ʻi he ngaahi meʻa faiva.
13were over the burden-bearers and directed all who did work in every kind of service, and some of the Levites were scribes and officials and gatekeepers.
13Pea naʻa nau pule foki ki he kau tangata haʻamo kavenga, pea ko e kau enginaki ʻakinautolu kiate kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ngāue ʻi he ngāue kotoa pē: pea naʻe ʻi he kau Livai, ʻae kau tangata tohi, mo e kau matāpule, mo e kau leʻo matapā.
14While they were bringing out the money that had been brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of the LORD given through Moses.
14Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻomi kituaʻā ʻae ngaahi paʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova, naʻe ʻilo ʻe Hilikia ko e taulaʻeiki ha tohi ʻoe fono ʻa Sihova naʻe tuku ʻe Mōsese.
15Then Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the secretary, “I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the LORD.” And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan.
15Pea naʻe lea ʻa Hilikia ʻo pehē kia Safani ko e tangata tohi, “Kuo u ʻilo ʻae tohi ʻoe fono ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.” Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Hilikia ʻae tohi kia Safani.
16Shaphan brought the book to the king, and further reported to the king, “All that was committed to your servants they are doing.
16Pea naʻe ʻave ʻae tohi ʻe Safani ki he tuʻi, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻae lea ki he tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fekau ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki kuo nau fai.
17They have emptied out the money that was found in the house of the LORD and have given it into the hand of the overseers and the workmen.”
17Pea kuo nau tānaki fakataha ʻae paʻanga kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea kuo tuku ia ki he nima ʻoe kau enginaki ngāue, pea ki he nima ʻoe kau tangata ngāue.”
18Then Shaphan the secretary told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read from it before the king.
18Pea naʻe tala ʻe Safani ko e tangata tohi ki he tuʻi ʻo pehē, “Kuo tuku mai ʻe Hilikia ko e taulaʻeiki ha tohi.” Pea naʻe lau ia ʻe Safani ki he tuʻi.
19And when the king heard the words of the Law, he tore his clothes.
19Pea ʻi he ongoʻi ʻe he tuʻi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻae fono, naʻa ne haehae hono ngaahi kofu.
20And the king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the secretary, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying,
20Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi kia Hilikia, mo ʻAhikami ko e foha ʻo Safani, mo ʻApitoni ko e foha ʻo Maika, mo Safani ko e tangata tohi, mo ʻAsahia ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ʻo pehē,
21“Go, inquire of the LORD for me and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do according to all that is written in this book.”
21“Mou ʻalu, pea fehuʻi kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko au, pea maʻanautolu ʻoku toe ʻi ʻIsileli mo Siuta, ki he ngaahi lea ʻi he tohi kuo ʻilo: he kuo lahi ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo lingi kiate kitautolu, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai tauhi ʻe heʻetau ngaahi tamai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ke fai ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻi he tohi.”
22So Hilkiah and those whom the king had sent went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter) and spoke to her to that effect.
22Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Hilikia, mo kinautolu naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he tuʻi, kia Hulita ko e fefine palōfita ko e ʻunoho ʻo Salumi ko e foha ʻo Tikiva, ko e foha ʻo Hahasi, ko e tauhi ʻoe ngaahi kofu: (pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he fale ako:) pea nau lea pehē pe kiate ia.
23And she said to them, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: ‘Tell the man who sent you to me,
23Pea naʻe lea ia kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, “Mou tala ki he tangata naʻa ne fekau ʻakimoutolu kiate au,
24Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will bring disaster upon this place and upon its inhabitants, all the curses that are written in the book that was read before the king of Judah.
24ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, Vakai, Te u ʻomi ʻae kovi ki he potu ni, pea ki hono kakai, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi malaʻia kotoa pē ʻaia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ʻaia naʻa nau lau ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Siuta:
25Because they have forsaken me and have made offerings to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands, therefore my wrath will be poured out on this place and will not be quenched.
25Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau liʻaki au, pea mo e tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, koeʻuhi ke nau langaʻi ʻeku houhau lahi, ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻa honau nima: ko ia ʻe lilingi ai ʻeku houhau lahi ki he potu ni pea ʻe ʻikai fuʻifuʻi ia.
26But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall you say to him, Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Regarding the words that you have heard,
26Pea koeʻuhi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau ʻakimoutolu ke fehuʻi kia Sihova, te mou tala pehē kiate ia, ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi lea ʻaia kuo ke ongoʻi:
27because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this place and its inhabitants, and you have humbled yourself before me and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you, declares the LORD.
27Ko e meʻa ʻi he ongongofua ʻa ho loto, pea naʻa ke fakavaivai koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻi hoʻo ongoʻi ʻene ngaahi valoki ki he potu ni, pea ki he kakai ʻo ia, pea naʻa ke fakavaivai koe ʻi hoku ʻao, mo ke haehae ho ngaahi kofu, pea tangi ʻi hoku ʻao: ʻoku pehē foki ʻe Sihova kuo u ongoʻi koe.
28Behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes shall not see all the disaster that I will bring upon this place and its inhabitants.’” And they brought back word to the king.
28Vakai, te u fakataha koe ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai, pea ʻe tānaki koe ki ho tanuʻanga ʻi he fiemālie pe, pea ʻe ʻikai mamata ʻe ho mata ki he kovi kotoa pē ʻaia te u ʻomi ki he potu ni, pea ki he kakai ʻo ia.” Ko ia naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae lea ki he tuʻi.
29Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
29Pea naʻe fekau ai ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ne tānaki fakataha ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo Siuta mo Selūsalema.
30And the king went up to the house of the LORD, with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the priests and the Levites, all the people both great and small. And he read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of the LORD.
30Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae tuʻi ki he fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo e kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema, mo e kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai, mo e kakai kotoa pē, ʻae lahi mo e siʻi: pea naʻe lau ʻe ia ʻi honau telinga, ʻae lea kotoa pē ʻoe tohi ʻoe fuakava ʻaia naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.
31And the king stood in his place and 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 all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.
31Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono potu, pea fai ʻae fuakava ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke muimui ia ʻia Sihova, pea ke tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamoʻoni, mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻaki hono loto kotoa, mo hono laumālie kotoa, ke fai ki he ngaahi lea ʻoe fuakava, ʻaia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ni.
32Then he made all who were present in Jerusalem and in Benjamin join in it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
32Pea naʻa ne fakakau ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻo Selūsalema, mo Penisimani, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ke nau tuʻu ʻo fai ki ai. Pea naʻe fai ʻe he kakai ʻo Selūsalema ʻo fakatatau ki he fuakava ʻae ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.
33And Josiah took away all the abominations from all the territory that belonged to the people of Israel and made all who were present in Israel serve the LORD their God. All his days they did not turn away from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
33Pea naʻe toʻo ʻo ʻave ke mamaʻo ʻe Sosaia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi mei he ngaahi fonua kotoa pē naʻe kau ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ne fakakau ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe kātoa ʻi ʻIsileli ke nau tauhi, ʻio, ke tauhi ʻa Sihova ko honau ʻOtua. Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau liʻaki ʻenau muimui kia Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻoʻona.
