2 Kings 23
1 The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
Tokosra Josiah el pangoneni mwet kol nukewa lun Judah ac Jerusalem,
2 The king went up to the LORD’s house, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him—with the priests, the prophets, and all the people, both small and great; and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the LORD’s house.
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 The king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD to walk after the LORD and to keep his commandments, his testimonies, and his statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book; and all the people agreed to the covenant.
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 The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out of the LORD’s temple all the vessels that were made for Baal, for the Asherah, and for all the army of the sky; and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.
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 He got rid of 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 around Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, to the moon, to the planets, and to all the army of the sky.
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 He brought out the Asherah from the LORD’s house, outside of Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on the graves of the common people.
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 He broke down the houses of the male shrine prostitutes that were in the LORD’s house, where the women wove hangings 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 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 he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city.
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 Nevertheless the priests of the high places did not come up to the LORD’s altar in Jerusalem, but they ate 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 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.
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 He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun, at the entrance of the LORD’s house, by the room of Nathan Melech the officer who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with 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 The king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the LORD’s house, and beat them down from there, and cast their dust into the brook 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 The king defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon.
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 He broke in pieces the pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and filled their places with men’s bones.
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 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.
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 As Josiah turned himself, he spied the tombs that were there in the mountain; and he sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burned them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the LORD’s word which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.
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 Then he said, “What monument is that which I see?” The men of the city told him, “It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of Bethel.”
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 He said, “Let him be! Let no one move his bones.” So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came out of 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 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.
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 He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burned men’s bones on them; and he returned 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 The king commanded all the people, saying, “Keep the Passover to the LORD your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.”
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 Surely there was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of 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 but in the eighteenth year 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 Moreover, Josiah removed those who had familiar spirits, the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the LORD’s house.
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 There was no king like him before him, who 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; and there was none like him who arose after 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 Notwithstanding, the LORD did not turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocation with which Manasseh had provoked him.
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 The LORD said, “I will also remove Judah out of my sight, as I have removed Israel; and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, ‘My name shall 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 that he did, are not they written in the book of the chronicles 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 went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and King Josiah went against him, but Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo when he saw 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 His servants carried him dead in a chariot from Megiddo, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s place.
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 began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. 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 that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his fathers had done.
El fahsr tukun srikasrak koluk lun mwet matu lal somla, ac oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD.
33 Pharaoh Necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of one 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 Pharaoh Necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim; but he took Jehoahaz away, and he came to Egypt and died there.
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 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, from everyone according to his assessment, to give it 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 began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. 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 that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his fathers had done.
Jehoiakim el oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, oana ouiya koluk lun mwet matu lal somla.
