2 Tuʻi 22
1Josiah 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.
1NAʻE valu taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Sosaia ʻi heʻene kamata ʻene pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma taha ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Sitita, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻAtaaia ʻo Posikate.
2And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and walked in all the way of David his father, and he did not turn aside to the right or to the left.
2Pea naʻe fai lelei ia, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa ne ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi hala kotoa pē ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai, pea naʻe ʻikai tafoki ia mei ai ki he nima toʻomataʻu pe ki he toʻohema.
3In the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, the secretary, to the house of the LORD, saying,
3Pea ʻi hono hongofulu ma valu ʻoe taʻu ʻoe tuʻi ko Sosaia, naʻe fekau ai ʻe he tuʻi ʻa Safani ko e foha ʻo ʻAsalia, ko e foha ʻo Mesulami, ko e tangata tohi, ki he fale ʻo Sihova ʻo pehē,
4“Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may count the money that has been brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the threshold have collected from the people.
4“ʻAlu hake kia Hilikia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, koeʻuhi ke ne lau ʻae siliva ʻaia kuo ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻaia kuo tānaki ʻe he kau leʻo matapā mei he kakai:
5And let it be given into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of the LORD, and let them give it to the workmen who are at the house of the LORD, repairing the house
5Pea tuku ke nau ʻatu ia ki he nima ʻokinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngāue, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ekinaki ʻi he tauhi fale ʻo Sihova: pea tuku ke nau ʻatu ia ki he kau ngāue ʻoku ngāue ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ke nau ngaohi ke lelei ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale,
6(that is, to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons), and let them use it for buying timber and quarried stone to repair the house.
6Ki he kau tufunga ʻakau, mo e kau langa fale, mo e kau tufunga maka, pea ke fakatau ʻae ngaahi ʻakau, mo e ngaahi maka kuo tātā ke ngaohi ʻaki ʻae fale.
7But no accounting shall be asked from them for the money that is delivered into their hand, for they deal honestly.”
7Ka naʻe ʻikai ha ʻeke ʻe fai kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi paʻanga naʻe ʻatu ki honau nima, koeʻuhi naʻa nau fai angatonu pe.”
8And Hilkiah the high priest 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, and he read it.
8Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hilikia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi 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, pea naʻa ne lau ia.
9And Shaphan the secretary came to the king, and reported to the king, “Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of the LORD.”
9Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Safani ko e tangata tohi ki he tuʻi, pea ne toe ʻomi ʻae lea ki he tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Kuo tānaki ʻe hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae ngaahi paʻanga naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale, pea kuo ʻatu ia ki he nima ʻokinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngāue, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ekinaki ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.”
10Then Shaphan the secretary told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read it before the king.
10Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe Safani ko e tangata tohi ki he tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Kuo tuku kiate au ʻe Hilikia ko e taulaʻeiki ha tohi.” Pea naʻe lau ia ʻe Safani ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi.
11When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his clothes.
11Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae tuʻi ki he ngaahi lea ʻi he tohi ʻoe fono, naʻa ne haehae hono ngaahi kofu.
12And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the secretary, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying,
12Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi kia Hilikia ko e taulaʻeiki, mo ʻAhikami ko e foha ʻo Safani, mo ʻAkipoa ko e foha ʻo Mikaia, mo Safani ko e tangata tohi, mo ʻAsahia ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi, ʻo pehē,
13“Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book, to do according to all that is written concerning us.”
13“Mou ʻalu, pea fehuʻi kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko au, pea mo e kakai pea mo Siuta, ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻae tohi kuo ʻilo ni: he kuo lahi ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo tupu kiate kitautolu, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai tokanga ʻa ʻetau ngaahi tamai ki he ngaahi lea ʻoe tohi, ke fai ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo tohi kiate kitautolu.”
14So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter), and they talked with her.
14Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Hilikia ko e taulaʻeiki, mo ʻAhikami, mo ʻAkipoa, mo Safani, mo ʻAsahia 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 fale tukunga kofu: (pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he fale ako:) pea naʻa nau alea mo ia.
15And she said to them, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: ‘Tell the man who sent you to me,
15Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, Tala ki he tangata naʻa ne fekauʻi ʻakimoutolu kiate au,
16Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will bring disaster upon this place and upon its inhabitants, all the words of the book that the king of Judah has read.
16ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, Vakai te u ʻomi ʻae kovi ki he potu ni, pea ki hono kakai, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻae tohi ʻaia kuo lau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Siuta:
17Because they have forsaken me and have made offerings to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath will be kindled against this place, and it will not be quenched.
17Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau liʻaki au, pea kuo nau tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, koeʻuhi ke nau fakatupu ʻeku houhau ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻa honau nima: ko ia ʻe tupu ai ʻeku houhau ki he potu ni, pea ʻe ʻikai fuʻifuʻiʻi.
18But 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,
18Ka te mou lea ki he tuʻi ʻo Siuta ʻaia naʻa ne fekauʻi ʻakimoutolu ke fehuʻi kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, Ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻaia kuo ke ongoʻi:
19because your heart was penitent, and you humbled yourself before the LORD, when you heard how I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and you have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you, declares the LORD.
19Koeʻuhi naʻe ongongofua ho loto, pea kuo ke fakavaivaiʻi koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻi hoʻo fanongo ʻaia naʻaku lea ki ai ki he potu ni, pea ki hono kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau hoko ko e ʻauhia, mo e malaʻia, pea kuo ke haehae ho ngaahi kofu, pea tangi ʻi hoku ʻao; ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Kuo u ongoʻi koe foki.”
20Therefore, behold, 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 they brought back word to the king.
20Ko ia, vakai, Teu fakataha koe mo hoʻo ngaahi tamai, pea ʻe tānaki koe ki ho tanuʻanga ʻi he melino; pea ʻe ʻikai mamata ʻe ho mata ki he kovi kotoa pē ʻaia te u ʻomi ki he potu ni. Pea naʻa nau toe ʻomi mo e lea ki he tuʻi.
