2 Siangpahrang 23
1 Siangpahrang ni tami a patoun teh, Judah hoi Jerusalem kacuenaw ka kamkhueng awh.
And the king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.

And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.
3 Siangpahrang ni khomkung koe a kangdue teh cauk dawk kaawm e lawkkamnae lawk hah, caksak hane hoi lungthin abuemlahoi muitha abuemlahoi BAWIPA tarawi hane kâpoelawk poe e hoi, a panuesaknaenaw, hoi phunglawknaw tarawi hanelah BAWIPA hmalah a lawk a kam. Tami pueng ni lawkkamnae a caksak awh.
And the king stood by a pillar, 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 their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.

And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them to Bethel.
5 Meikaphawk ka bawk e vaihma, Judah siangpahrangnaw ni Judah ram khonaw hmuenrasangnaw hoi Jerusalem tengpam e hmuitui kasawinaw hah a pahnawt awh teh, Baal, kanî, thapa, âsi hane hoi kalvan kaawm e pueng hane hmuitui hmai ouk kasawinaw hah a pahnawt awh.
And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
6 BAWIPA im dawk thing hoi meikaphawk hah Jerusalem kho lawilah Kirdron palang vah a ceikhai awh teh, Kirdron palang dawk hmai a sawi awh. Kanuikapin lah a hruek awh teh kanuikapinnaw hah mathoenaw e tangkom dawk a pasa awh.
And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof on the graves of the children of the people.
7 Hahoi thing meikaphawk, hni kakawngkung napuinaw a onae hoi BAWIPA im napuitongpanaw onae imnaw a raphoe awh.
And he broke down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove.
8 Vaihma pueng Judah khonaw koehoi a kaw sak awh teh, ahnimouh ni hmuitui hmaisawinae hmuenrasangnaw hah Geba hoi Beersheba totouh a khin sak awh teh, Jerusalem e khobawi Joshua e longkha avoilae kâennae longkha pueng be a raphoe awh.
And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba, and broke down the high places of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city.
9 Hmuenrasang koe e vaihmanaw hah Jerusalem BAWIPA thuengnae khoungroe koe cet awh hoeh ei teh, a hmaunawnghanaw koe tonphuenhoehe ouk a ca awh.
Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat of the unleavened bread among their brothers.
10 Apinihai amamae a canaw hah Molek cathut koe hmai hoi a thueng awh hoeh nahan, Hinnom e a ca tanghling dawk kaawm e Topheth hai a khin sak awh.
And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
11 BAWIPA im alawilae siangpahrang karingkung Nathan Molek im teng e Judah siangpahrangnaw ni kanî koe a poe awh e marangnaw hah he a takhoe pouh teh, kanî rangleng hah hmai koung a sawi awh.
And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
12 Ahaz im a tungtengtoe e dawk a hruek e khoungroenaw hoi Manasseh ni BAWIPA im thongma kahni touh koe a sak e khoungroenaw hah siangpahrang ni he a raphoe teh Kidron palang dawkvah a tâkhawng.
And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and broke them down from there, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
13 Isarel siangpahrang Solomon ni, Jerusalem kanîtholah a raphoe e aranglae mon dawk panuettho e Sidon cathut Ashtoreth, panuettho e Moab cathut, Kemosh thoseh panuettho e Ammon cathut Milkom hanelah a hmuenrasangnaw hah siangpahrang ni a khin sak.
And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
14 Meikaphawknaw hah rekrek a hem teh, thing meikaphawknaw be a tâtueng hnukkhu, hote hmuen koe tami hrunaw hoi akawi sak.
And he broke in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
15 Hothloilah Isarel ka payon sakkung Nebat capa Jeroboam ni Bethel vah khoungroe hoi a hmuenrasangnaw hoi khoungroe hai a raphoe pouh. Hmuenrasang hmai a sawi teh kanuikapin lah koung a hruek teh thingmeikaphawk hai hmai a sawi.
Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he broke down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove.
16 Josiah teh a kamlang teh mon dawk e phuen hah a hmu, hottelah phuen e tami hrunaw hah a la sak teh, Cathut e tami ni a pâpho e BAWIPA e lawk patetlah khoungroe dawk hmai a sawi teh, a khin sak.
And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchers that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchers, and burned them on the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.
17 Josiah ni hai kai ni ka hmu e noutnae talung teh, apie phuen namaw telah ati. Cathut e tami Judah ram lahoi ka tho e Bethel vah khoungroe dawk na sak e hno ka pâpho e phuen doeh telah a dei awh.
Then he said, What title is that that I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulcher of the man of God, which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of Bethel.
18 Siangpahrang ni apinihai a hru hah puen hanh naseh, ahnie a hrunaw hah Samaria lahoi ka tho e profetnaw e a hrunaw hoi kâbet hoeh.
And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
19 Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA lungkhuek sak awh teh, a sak awh e Samaria ram dawk e hmuenrasangnaw pueng Josiah ni koung a takhoe teh, Bethel vah a sak e patetlah a sak pouh.
And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
20 Hottelah haw e hmuenrasang e vaihmanaw pueng hah khoungroe van a thei teh, haw vah tami hru a pâeng teh Jerusalem lah bout a ban.
And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there on the altars, and burned men’s bones on them, and returned to Jerusalem.
21 Hahoi siangpahrang ni tami pueng koe, hete lawkkamnae cauk dawk kaawm e patetlah BAWIPA, nangmae Cathut hanlah ceitakhai pawito awh telah kâ a poe.
And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover to the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
22 Isarel lawkcengkungnaw ni lawk a ceng totouh hoi, Isarel siangpahrangnaw ni a uknae thung pueng hoi, Judah siangpahrang ni a uknae thung pueng haiyah ceitakhai pawito awh boihoeh.
Surely there was not held such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
23 Josiah siangpahrang a bawinae kum 18 navah, hote ceitakhai pawi teh Jerusalem vah BAWIPA hanelah a tawn awh lah ao.
But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this passover was held to the LORD in Jerusalem.
24 BAWIPA im dawk e vaihma Hilkiah ni, a hmu e cauk dawkvah kâlawk hah caksak nahanelah, kahraithawtawknae hoi taânsinnae hoi, meikaphawk hoi, cathut meikaphawknaw, Judah ram hoi Isarel kho e hno panuettho a hmu awh e pueng hah Josiah ni koung a raphoe.
Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.
25 Mosi e kâlawk pueng patetlah lungthin abuemlah, muitha hoi thaonae abuemlahoi BAWIPA koe lah a kamlang teh, ahni patetlah ahni hoehnahlan siangpahrang apihai awm hoeh. Ahni hnukkhu hai ahni patetlah apihai awm mahoeh toe.
And like to him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
26 Hatei, BAWIPA ni puenghoi a lungkhueknae Manasseh ni a lungkhueksaknae naw pueng kecu dawkvah, Judahnaw taranlahoi kâan e a lungkhueknae hmai teh, roum thai kalawn hoeh.
Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him with.
27 BAWIPA ni Isarel ka puen e patetlah Judah hai ka hmuhoehnae koe ka puen van han. Hete ka rawi e Jerusalem roeroe haiyah, haw vah ka min ao han ka tie im hah ka puen han, telah a ti.
And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.
28 Hottelah Josiah tawksaknae thung dawk kaawm rae naw hoi, a tawk pueng teh Judah siangpahrangnaw setouknae cauk dawk a kâ thut mahoeh maw.
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
29 Siangpahrang lah ao navah, Izip siangpahrang Faro Neko teh, Assiria siangpahrang tuk hanelah, Euphrates palang vah a ceitakhang. Siangpahrang Josiah ni ahni a tuk teh ahnimouh ni ahni teh a hmu awh tahma vah, Megiddo vah a thei awh.
In his days Pharaohnechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
30 A taminaw ni Megiddo hoi a ro hah rangleng hoi a ceikhai awh teh, Jerusalem vah a kâenkhai awh teh amae tangkom dawk a pakawp awh. Hottelah hote khonaw ni Josiah capa Jehoahaz teh a ceikhai awh teh, satui a awi awh teh, a na pa yueng lah a bawi sak awh.
And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulcher. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.
31 Jehoahaz teh siangpahrang a tawk navah, kum 23 touh a pha. Jerusalem vah thapa yung thum touh a bawi. A manu min teh Hamutal, Libnah kho e Jeremiah canu doeh.
Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
32 A na mintoenaw ni ouk a sak awh e patetlah BAWIPA mithmu vah thoenae hah ouk a sak.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
33 Faro Neko ni hote siangpahrang Jerusalem kho a uk thai hoeh nahanelah, Hamath ram e Riblah kho vah thongim a pabo. Hahoi Judah ram vah a pabo. Hahoi Judah ram vah ngun talen 100 touh hoi sui talen buet touh imhu a cawng sak.
And Pharaohnechoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
34 Hahoi Faro Neko ni Josiah capa ELiakim hah a na pa Josiah yueng lah a bawi sak. A min hah Jehoiakim telah a thung pouh. Jehoiahaz teh Izip vah a ceikhai awh teh haw vah a due.
And Pharaohnechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died there.
35 Jehoiakim ni Faro hah ngun tangka hoi sui a poe teh, ahnimae ram teh Faro ni kâ a poe e patetlah tangka lah poe hane tamuk a cawng van. Faro Neko koe poe hanlah, tami pueng rawng hanelah a khoe pouh e patetlah hote ram thung e khocanaw hah sui hoi tangka a rawng sak awh.
And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give it to Pharaohnechoh.
36 Jehoiakim teh siangpahrang a tawk navah, kum 25 touh a pha. Jerusalem vah kum 11 touh a bawi. A manu min teh Zebudah Ramah kho e Pedaiah canu doeh.
Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
37 Hahoi a na mintoenaw ni a sak awh e patetlah BAWIPA mithmu vah thoenae hah a sak.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
