2 Mpanjaka 22
1 Valo taoñe t’Iosià te namototse nifeleke, vaho nifehe telopolo taoñe raik’ amby e Ierosalaime ao. Iedidae, anak’ ampela’ i Adaià nte-Bots’kate, ty tahinan-drene’e.
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 Nanao soa am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re naho nañavelo an-tsata’ i Davide rae’e vaho tsy nitsile mb’an-kavana ndra mb’ankavia.
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 Ie amy taom-paha-folo-valo-ambi’ Iosià mpanjakay, le nampihitrife’ i mpanjakay t’i Safane, ana’ i Atsaliaho ana’ i Mesolame mpanokitse mb’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà mb’eo, ami’ty hoe:
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 Akia mb’amy Kilkià mpisoroñe hamolily o volafoty fa nasese añ’anjomba’ Iehovào, o natonto’ o mpañambin-dalambeio am’ ondatioo;
“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 le ampanesefo am-pità’ o mpanao i fitoloñañeio, amo mpisary i anjomba’ Iehovàio; le hatolo’ iereo amo mpifanehak’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovào hamboareñe o vakivaky amy anjombaio;
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 amo mpandranjio, naho amo mpamboatseo naho amo mpandranjy vatoo naho hiviliañe hatae naho vato pinèke hampisomontieñe i anjombay,
to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house.
7 vaho tsy ampivolilieñe o tolorañe i drala am-pitañeio, amy te matoe ty fitoloña’ iareo.
However, no accounting shall be asked of them for the money delivered into their hand, for they deal faithfully.”
8 Le hoe t’i Kilkià, mpisoroñe, amy Safane, mpanokitse; Nitreako añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao ty boke Hake. Le natolo’ i Kilkià amy Safane, vaho vinaki’e.
Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the LORD’s house.” Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
9 Nimb’ amy mpanjakay mb’eo t’i Safane mpanokitse vaho nahere’e amy mpanjakay ty saontsy manao ty hoe: Fa natonto’ o mpitoroñeo o drala niisak’ añ’ anjombao vaho natolo’ iereo am-pità’ o mpitoloñe misary ty anjomba’ Iehovào;
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 le tinaro’ i Safane amy mpanjakay ty hoe: Nanese boke amako t’i Kilkia mpisoroñe. Aa le nivakie’ i Safane añatrefa’ i mpanjakay.
Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered a book to me.” Then Shaphan read it before the king.
11 Ie jinanji’ i mpanjakay ty enta’ i boke Hakey, le rinia’e o saro’eo;
When the king had heard the words of the book of the law, he tore his clothes.
12 le linili’ i mpanjakay t’i Kilkia mpisoroñe, naho i Akikame, ana’ i Safane naho i Akbore ana’ i Mikaià naho i Safane mpanokitse vaho i Asaià mpitoro’ i mpanjakay ami’ty hoe:
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 Akia, añontaneo am’Iehovà ho ahy naho ondatio naho Iehoda iaby o tsara’ i boke nioniñeio, fa akore ty haviñera’ Iehovà misolebotse amantika, ie tsy hinaon-droaen-tika o tsara ami’ty boke toio; hera fonga hanoe’e aman-tikañe o sinokitseo.
“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 Aa le nimoak’ amy Koldàe mpitoky ampela, vali’ i Salome, ana’ i Tikvà, ana’ i Karkase mpañambin-tsikiñe, mpimoneñe e Ierosalaime an-kibohom-panokiram-boke ao, t’i Kilkià mpisoroñe naho i Akikame, naho i Akbore naho i Safane vaho i Asaià, le nifañaoñe ama’e.
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 Le hoe re am’ iereo, Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, Saontsio indaty nañirak’ anahareo amakoy,
She said to them, “The LORD the God of Israel says, ‘Tell the man who sent you to me,
16 Hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà: Mahaoniña te hametsahako hankàñe ty toetse toy naho o mpimoneñe ama’eo; toe ze hene enta’ i boke’ vinaki’ i mpanjaka’ Iehoday;
“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 amy te naforintse’ iereo raho naho nañenga aman-drahare ila’e, hanigike ty haviñerako amo satam-pità’ iareoo; aa le hisolebotse ami’ty toetse toy ty haviñerako vaho tsy hakipeke.
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 Fe hoe ty ho saontsieñe amy mpanjaka’ Iehodà nañirak’ anahareo hañontane amy Iehovày: Hoe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele: ty amo tsara inanji’oo,
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 kanao mitrotrotrotro ty arofo’o naho nireke añatrefa’ Iehovà, ie jinanji’o i vinolako ami’ ty toetse toiy naho amo mpimone’eo, t’ie ho fatra naho fatse, vaho te rinia’o o saro’oo vaho nirovetse añatrefako; le toe tsinanoko rehe, hoe t’Iehovà.
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 Aa le oniño te hatontoko aman-droae’o rehe, le hambineñe an-kibori’o ao an-kanintsiñe, vaho tsy ho isam-pihaino’o ty hankàñe hafetsako ami’ty toetse toy. Aa le nahere’ iareo amy mpanjakay i entañe zay.
‘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.
