1 Yosiya yana da shekara takwas sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi mulki shekara talatin da ɗaya a Urushalima. Sunan mahaifiyarsa Yedida’yar Adahiya; mutuniyar Bozkat.

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 Ya aikata abin da yake daidai a gaban Ubangiji ya kuma bi dukan gurbin kakansa Dawuda, bai bauɗe hagu ko dama ba.

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 A shekara ta goma sha takwas ta mulkinsa, Sarki Yosiya ya aiki Shafan ɗan Azaliya, ɗan Meshullam, magatakarda, zuwa haikalin Ubangiji. Ya ce,

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 “Ka haura zuwa wurin Hilkiya babban firist ka sa yă shirya kuɗin da aka kawo a haikalin Ubangiji, wanda masu tsaron ƙofa suka tara daga mutane.

“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 Ka sa su danƙa su a hannun waɗanda aka zaɓa don biyan ma’aikatan da suka yi gyara a haikalin Ubangiji,

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 wato, kafintoci, da magina, da masu tsara gini. Ka kuma sa su sayi katakai da sassaƙaƙƙun duwatsu don a gyara haikalin.

to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house.

7 Amma ba sa bukata su ba da bayanin kuɗin da aka danƙa musu domin suna aikinsu da aminci.”

However, no accounting shall be asked of them for the money delivered into their hand, for they deal faithfully.”

8 Hilkiya babban firist ya ce wa Shafan magatakarda, “Na sami Littafin Doka a haikalin Ubangiji.” Sai ya ba wa Shafan, shi kuma ya karanta.

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 Sa’an nan Shafan ya koma wurin sarki ya ce masa, “Hafsoshinka sun kwashe kuɗin da suke a haikalin Ubangiji, suka ba wa masu aiki da masu lura da haikalin.”

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 Sa’an nan Shafan magatakarda ya ce wa sarki, “Hilkiya firist ya ba ni wani littafi.” Sai Shafan ya karanta shi a gaban sarki.

Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered a book to me.” Then Shaphan read it before the king.

11 Da sarki ya ji kalmomin Littafin Doka, sai ya kece tufafinsa.

When the king had heard the words of the scroll of the Torah, he tore his clothes.

12 Ya ba da waɗannan umarnai ga Hilkiya firist, da Ahikam ɗan Shafan, da Akbor ɗan Mikahiya, da Shafan magatakarda, da kuma Asahiya mai hidimar sarki, ya ce,

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 “Ku je, ku nemi nufin Ubangiji saboda ni da saboda jama’a da kuma saboda dukan Yahuda game da abin da wannan littafi da aka samo ya ƙunsa. Fushin Ubangiji mai girma ne a kanmu domin kakanninmu ba su kiyaye kalmomin littafin nan ba; ba su aikata bisa ga abin da yake a rubuce game da mu ba.”

“Go enquire 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 Sai Hilkiya firist, da Ahikam, Akbor, da Shafan, da kuma Asahiya suka je don su yi magana da annabiya Hulda, matan Shallum ɗan Tikba, ɗan Harhas, mai ajiyar tufafi. Tana zama a Urushalima, a Yanki na Biyu.

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 Sai ta ce musu, “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce, ku faɗa wa mutumin da ya aike ku wurina,

She said to them, “The LORD the God of Israel says, ‘Tell the man who sent you to me,

16 ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, zan kawo masifa wa wannan wuri da kuma wa kan mutanen wurin, bisa ga dukan abubuwan da suke a rubuce a cikin littafin da sarkin Yahuda ya karanta.

“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 Domin sun yashe ni suka ƙona turare wa waɗansu alloli, suka tozarta ni da dukan gumakan da hannuwansu suka sassaƙa, fushina zai yi ƙuna a kan wannan wuri, ba kuwa zai huce ba.’

Because they have forsaken me and have burnt 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 Ku faɗa wa sarkin Yahuda, wanda ya aike ku ku nemi nufin Ubangiji, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila yana cewa game da kalmomin da ka ji.

But to the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the LORD, tell him, “The LORD the God of Israel says, ‘Concerning the words which you have heard,

19 Domin zuciyarka mai tuba ce, ka kuma ƙasƙantar da kanka a gaban Ubangiji sa’ad da ka ji abin da na faɗa game da wannan wuri da mutanen wurin, cewa za su zama la’antattu da kuma kango, domin kuma ka kece tufafinka, ka kuma yi kuka a gabana, na ji ka, in ji Ubangiji.

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 Saboda haka zan haɗa ka da kakanninka, za a kuma binne ka cikin salama. Idanunka kuma ba za su ga dukan wannan masifan da zan jawo wa wurin nan ba.’” Sai suka kai wa sarki abin da ta faɗa.

‘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.
