2 Kings 23
1 Then the king sent and got together all the responsible men of Judah and of Jerusalem.
Tokosra Josiah el pangoneni mwet kol nukewa lun Judah ac Jerusalem,
2 And the king went up to the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah and all the people of Jerusalem, and the priests and the prophets and all the people, small and great; and they were present at his reading of the book of the law which had come to light in the house of the Lord.
ac elos tukeni som nu in Tempul, wi pac mwet tol ac mwet palu ac mwet nukewa saya — mwet kasrup ac mwet sukasrup oana sie. Tokosra el riti nufon book in wuleang se ma koneyukyak in Tempul ye mutalos nukewa.
3 And the king took his place by the pillar, and made an agreement before the Lord, to go in the way of the Lord, and keep his orders and his decisions and his rules with all his heart and all his soul, and to keep the words of the agreement recorded in the book; and all the people gave their word to keep the agreement.
El tu sisken sru soko lun leum uh, ac oru sie wulela yurin LEUM GOD lah el ac fah aksol ac liyaung ma sap ac oakwuk lal ke insial kewa ac ngunal kewa, ac el ac fah moulkin kas nukewa ma oan ke wuleang sac, oana ke simla in book sac. Ac mwet nukewa wulela in wi pac liyaung wuleang sac.
4 Then the king gave orders to Hilkiah, the chief priest, and to the priests of the second order, and to the keepers of the door, to take out of the house of the Lord all the vessels made for Baal and for the Asherah and for all the stars of heaven; and he had them burned outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and took the dust of them to Beth-el.
Na Josiah el sapkin Mwet Tol Fulat Hilkiah ac mwet tol ma kasrel, oayapa mwet topang ke nien utyak nu in Tempul, elos in usla ma nukewa ma oan in Tempul sac ma tuh orekmakinyuk ke alu nu sel Baal ac nu ke god mutan Asherah ac nu ke itu uh. Tokosra el esukak ma inge nukewa likin siti uh, apkuran nu ke Infahlfal Kidron, na el sapkin in utukla apat kac nu Bethel.
5 And he put an end to the false priests, who had been put in their positions by the kings of Judah to see to the burning of offerings in the high places in the towns of Judah and the outskirts of Jerusalem, and all those who made offerings to Baal and to the sun and the moon and the twelve signs and all the stars of heaven.
El eisla orekma lun mwet tol su tokosra lun Judah elos tuh mosrwela in orek kisa ke loang lun mwet pegan in siti in acn Judah ac in acn ma oan apkuran nu Jerusalem, aok mwet tol nukewa su orek kisa nu sin Baal, nu ke faht, malem, planet, ac itu uh.
6 And he took the Asherah from the house of the Lord, outside Jerusalem to the stream Kidron, burning it by the stream and crushing it to dust, and he put the dust on the place where the bodies of the common people were put to rest.
El moklela ma sruloala ke god mutan Asherah liki Tempul, ac usla liki siti uh nu ke Infahlfal Kidron. El esukak ac tuktukya nwe ke apatla, ac sisalik yen kulyuk lun mwet uh oan we.
7 And he had the houses pulled down of those who were used for sex purposes in the house of the Lord, where women were making robes for the Asherah.
El kunausla nien muta in Tempul ma orekmakinyuk sin mukul ac mutan ma eis molin kosro lalos. (Pa inge acn se mutan uh ac tolongla nuknuk oa ma orekmakinyuk nu ke alu lun Asherah.)
8 And he made all the priests from the towns of Judah come into Jerusalem, and he made unclean the high places where the priests had been burning offerings, from Geba to Beer-sheba; and he had the high places of the evil spirits pulled down which were by the doorway of Joshua, the ruler of the town, on the left side of the way into the town.
El use mwet tol su tuh muta in siti lun Judah nu Jerusalem, ac in acn nukewa in facl sac el aktaekye loang ma elos orek kisa kac. El oayapa kunausla loang ma sriyukla nu ke alu nu ke ma sruloala in luman nani uh, ma oan apkuran nu ke mutunpot su Joshua, governor lun siti uh, el tuh orala, su oan layen lasa ke mutunpot lulap ke mwet uh ac utyak nu in siti uh.
9 Still the priests of the high places never came up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem; but they took their food of unleavened bread among their brothers.
Tia lela mwet tol inge in kulansap in Tempul, tusruktu elos ku in kang bread tia akpulol ma orekla nu sin mwet tol wialos.
10 And Topheth, in the valley of the sons of Hinnom, he made unclean, so that no man might make his son or his daughter go through the fire to Molech.
Tokosra Josiah el oayapa aktaekyala Topheth, nien alu lun mwet pegan ke Infahlfal Hinnom, tuh mwet uh in tia sang wen ku acn natulos in mwe kisa firir nu sin god Molech.
11 And he took away the horses which the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the way into the house of the Lord, by the room of Nathan-melech, the unsexed servant, which was in the outer part of the building, and the carriages of the sun he put on fire.
El oayapa moklela horse ma tokosra lun Judah elos tuh kisakunla in mwe alu nu ke faht, ac el esukak chariot ma orekmakinyuk ke alu sac. (Ma inge oan ke inkul lun tempul apkuran nu ke mutunpot we, ac tia loes liki nien muta lal Nathan Melech, sie mwet pwapa fulat.)
12 And the altars on the roof of the high room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord, were pulled down and crushed to bits, and the dust of them was put into the stream Kidron.
Tokosra Josiah el kunausla loang ma tokosra lun acn Judah tuh musaela fin lohm sel Tokosra Ahaz ke inkul fulat lun tokosra, wi pac loang ma Tokosra Manasseh el tuh musaela luin kalkal luo ke Tempul. El lipikya loang inge nu ke ip srisrik, ac sisla nu Infahlfal Kidron.
13 And the high places before Jerusalem, on the south side of the mountain of destruction, which Solomon, king of Israel, had made for Ashtoreth, the disgusting god of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh, the disgusting god of Moab, and for Milcom, the disgusting god of the children of Ammon, the king made unclean.
Josiah el akkolukyela pac loang ma Tokosra Solomon el tuh musaela kutulap in acn Jerusalem layen eir in Fineol Olive, tuh in mwe alu nu ke ma sruloala Astarte, god mutan srungayuk lun Sidon, ac Chemosh god lun acn Moab, ac Molech god lun acn Ammon.
14 The stone pillars were broken to bits and the wood pillars cut down, and the places where they had been were made full of the bones of the dead.
Tokosra Josiah el kunausya sru eot uh nu ke ip srisrik, ac pakiya ma sruloala nukewa ke god mutan Asherah, na el afunla acn ma inge tu we meet ke srin mwet.
15 And the altar at Beth-el, and the high place put up by Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel do evil, that altar and that high place were pulled down; and the high place was burned and crushed to dust and the Asherah was burned.
Josiah el oayapa kunausya nien alu in Bethel ma musaiyukla sel Tokosra Jeroboam wen natul Nebat, su tuh kolla mwet Israel in oru ma koluk. Josiah el rakinya loang sac, kunausya eot kac nu ke ip srisrik, ac tuktukya nwe ke mokutkuti. El oayapa esukak ma sruloala kacl Asherah.
16 Then Josiah, turning round, saw on the mountain the places of the dead, and he sent and had the bones taken out of their places and burned on the altar, so making it unclean, as the Lord had said by the man of God when Jeroboam was in his place by the altar on that feast-day. And he, turning his eyes to the resting-place of the man of God who had given word of these things, said:
Na Josiah el ngetot ngetma nwe liyauk kutu kulyuk ma oan fin inging, ac El sap in pukpukyak sri kac, ac isisyak fin loang ah. El oru lumah se inge in aktaekyala loang sac, ac oru ma mwet palu tuh palyeak ke pacl loeloes meet ah, ke pacl in kufwa se ma Tokosra Jeroboam el tu pe loang sac. Tokosra Josiah el ngetnget nwe liyauk kulyuk se lun mwet palu se ma tuh palyeak ma inge.
17 What is that headstone I see over there? And the men of the town said to him, It is the resting-place of the man of God who came from Judah and gave word of all these things which you have done to the altar of Beth-el.
El siyuk, “Lun su kulyuk se ingan?” Na mwet Bethel elos topuk ac fahk, “Ma lun mwet palu se ma tuku Judah me, ac palye ma kom oru nu ke loang se inge uh.”
18 So he said, Let him be; let not his bones be moved. So they let his bones be with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria.
Na Josiah el fahk, “Filiyana in oan. Sri kacl an ac tia wi mokleyuk.” Ouinge sri kacl ah tiana mokleyuk, ac tia pac mokleyuk sri ke mwet palu se ma tuku Samaria me.
19 Then Josiah took away all the houses of the high places in the towns of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had put up, moving the Lord to wrath, and he did with them as he had done in Beth-el.
In siti lun Israel nukewa, Tokosra Josiah el rakinya nien alu nukewa lun mwet pegan su tuh musala sin tokosra lun Israel ac akkasrkusrakye LEUM GOD. El oru nu ke loang nukewa ingan oana ma el tuh oru in acn Bethel.
20 And all the priests of the high places there he put to death on the altars, burning the bones of the dead on them; and then he went back to Jerusalem.
El uniya mwet tol nukewa lun mwet pegan fin loang ma elos tuh orek kisa kac, ac el esukak srin mwet uh fin loang inge nukewa. Na el folokla nu Jerusalem.
21 And the king gave orders to all the people, saying, Keep the Passover to the Lord your God, as it says in this book of the law.
Tokosra Josiah el sapkin mwet uh in oru akfulat lun Kufwen Alukela in akfulatye LEUM GOD lalos, oana ma simla in book in wuleang.
22 Truly, such a Passover had not been kept in all the days of the judges of Israel or of the kings of Israel or the kings of Judah;
Wangin sie Kufwen Alukela akfulatyeyuk oana kufwa se inge sin kutena tokosra lun Israel ku lun Judah oe in pacl se ma mwet nununku elos tuh leumi mutunfacl sac nwe misenge.
23 In the eighteenth year of the rule of King Josiah this Passover was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem.
Ouinge, Kufwen Alukela tufahna sifilpa akfulatyeyuk in acn Jerusalem, ke yac aksingoul oalkosr ma Tokosra Josiah el leum.
24 And all those who had control of spirits, and the wonder-workers, and the images, and the false gods, and all the disgusting things which were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, Josiah put away, so that he might give effect to the words of the agreement recorded in the book which Hilkiah the priest made discovery of in the house of the Lord.
In akkeye ma sap su simla in book se ma Mwet Tol Fulat Hilkiah el tuh konauk in Tempul, Tokosra Josiah el orani mwet sramsram nu sin inut, mwet susfa, ma sruloala, mwe alyalu srisrik in lohm sin mwet, ac kutena ma saya ma mwet pegan elos alyalu nu kac, ac sisla ma inge nukewa liki acn Jerusalem ac liki facl Judah nufon.
25 Never before had there been a king like him, turning to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his power, as the law of Moses says; and after him there was no king like him.
Wangin sie tokosra oana el oemeet me, su kulansupu LEUM GOD ke insial ac ngunal ac ku lal nufon, ac akos ma sap nukewa lal Moses, oayapa wangin pac sie tokol oana el.
26 But still the heat of the Lord's wrath was not turned back from Judah, because of all Manasseh had done in moving him to wrath.
Tusruktu ke sripen ma koluk nukewa Tokosra Manasseh el tuh oru meet, kasrkusrak lulap lun LEUM GOD lain Judah srakna oan ac soenna wanginla.
27 And the Lord said, I will send Judah away from before my face, as I have sent Israel; I will have nothing more to do with this town, which I had made mine, even Jerusalem, and the holy house of which I said, My name will be there.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac oru nu sin Judah oana ke nga tuh oru nu sin Israel: Nga ac lusla mwet Judah liki ye mutuk, ac nga ac sisla acn Jerusalem, siti se nga tuh sulela, oayapa Tempul, acn se su nga tuh fahk mu mwet uh in alu nu sik we.”
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
Ma nukewa saya ma Tokosra Josiah el tuh orala, simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Judah.]
29 In his days, Pharaoh-necoh, king of Egypt, sent his armies against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and King Josiah went out against him; and he put him to death at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
Ke pacl ma Josiah el tuh tokosra, Tokosra Neco lun Egypt el kol un mwet mweun lal som nwe ke Infacl Euphrates in tuh kasrel Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria. Tokosra Josiah el tuh srike in sikulya mwet mweun lun Egypt e Megiddo, tuh pa anwuki el ke mweun sac.
30 And his servants took his body in a carriage from Megiddo to Jerusalem, and put him into the earth there. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, and put the holy oil on him and made him king in place of his father.
Mwet pwapa fulat lal elos filiya manol fin chariot soko ac folokunla nu Jerusalem, ac pukpuki el ke inkulyuk lun tokosra. Mwet Judah elos sulella Joahaz wen natul Josiah, ac mosrwella elan tokosra.
31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, ruling in Jerusalem for three months; his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Joahaz el yac longoul tolu ke el tokosrala lun Judah, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke malem tolu. Nina kial pa Hamutal acn natul Jeremiah, su mwet in siti Libnah.
32 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his fathers had done.
El fahsr tukun srikasrak koluk lun mwet matu lal somla, ac oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD.
33 And Pharaoh-necoh put him in chains at Riblah in the land of Hamath, so that he might not be king in Jerusalem; and took from the land a tax of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
Pacl in leum lal safla ke pacl se Tokosra Neco lun Egypt el sruokilya ac kaprilya in siti Riblah in facl Hamath. Tokosra Neco el sap tuh facl Judah in moli takma nu sel ke paun itkosr tausin lumfoko ke silver, ac paun itngoul limekosr ke gold.
34 Then Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim, the son of Josiah, king in place of Josiah his father, changing his name to Jehoiakim; but Jehoahaz he took away to Egypt, where he was till his death.
Tokosra Neco el sraklalak Eliakim, wen natul Josiah, elan tokosrala lun Judah in aolul Josiah, ac ekulla inel Eliakim nu ke Jehoiakim. Tokosra Neco el usalla Joahaz nu Egypt, ac Joahaz el misa we.
35 And Jehoiakim gave the silver and gold to Pharaoh, taxing the land by his orders to get the money; the people of the land had to give silver and gold, everyone as he was taxed, to make the payment to Pharaoh-necoh.
Tokosra Jehoiakim el eisani mani in tax sin mwet uh fal nu ke kasrup lun kais sie, in orala lupan mani se ma tokosra Egypt el sap in orekeni nu ke takma.
36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years; his mother's name was Zebidah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
Jehoiakim el yac longoul limekosr ke el tokosrala lun Judah, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac singoul sie. Nina kial pa Zebidah acn natul Pedaiah, sie mwet in siti srisrik Rumah.
37 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord as his fathers had done.
Jehoiakim el oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, oana ouiya koluk lun mwet matu lal somla.
