2 Chronicles 34

1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem.

Naʻe valu taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Sosaia ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma taha.

2 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai, pea naʻe ʻikai afe ia ki he nima toʻomataʻu pe ki he toʻohema.

3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images.

He koeʻuhi ʻi hono valu taʻu ʻo ʻene pule, ʻi heʻene kei siʻi, naʻa ne kamata kumi ki he ʻOtua ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai: pea ʻi hono hongofulu ma ua taʻu, naʻa ne kamata ʻene ʻauhani ʻa Siuta mo Selūsalema mei he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, mo e ngaahi vao tapu, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻe tā, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻe haka.

4 And they broke down the altars of the Baalim in his presence; and the sun-images, that were on high above them, he hewed down; and the Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images, he broke in pieces, and made dust of them, and strewed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them.

Pea naʻa nau holoki hifo ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatātā ʻa Peali, ʻi hono ʻao: pea mo e ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻe māʻolunga ʻi ai, naʻa ne tā hifo ia: pea naʻa ne tā ke fakaikiiki ʻae ngaahi vao tapu, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻe tā, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻe haka, naʻa ne laiki ia ke efu, pea ne lulu ia ki he ngaahi tanuʻanga ʻokinautolu naʻa nau feilaulau ki ai.

5 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.

Pea naʻe tutu ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi hui ʻoe kau taula ki honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, ʻo ne fakamaʻa ʻa Siuta mo Selūsalema.

6 And so did he in the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their axes round about.

Pea [naʻe fai pehē pe ia ]ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Manase, mo ʻIfalemi, mo Simione, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki Nafitalai, ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi toki ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻi ai.

7 And he broke down the altars, and beat the Asherim and the graven images into powder, and hewed down all the sun-images throughout all the land of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem.

Pea hili ʻene fesiʻi hifo ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga mo e ngaahi vao tapu, ʻo ne tuki ke efu ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatātā, ʻo ne tā hifo ʻae ngaahi tamapua kotoa pē ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻe toki liliu mai ia ki Selūsalema.

8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.

Pea ʻi hono hongofulu ma valu talu ʻo ʻene pule, hili ʻene ʻauhani ʻae fonua, mo e fale, naʻe fekau ʻe ia ʻa Safani ko e foha ko ʻAsalia, mo Māseia ko e pule ʻoe kolo, mo Soa ko e foha ʻo Soasi, ko e tangata tohi, ke nau ngaohi ke lelei ʻae fale ʻo Sihova.

9 And they came to Hilkiah the high priest, and delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the door, had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin, and they returned to Jerusalem.

Pea ʻi heʻenau haʻu kia Hilikia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi paʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe tānaki ʻe he kau Livai naʻe leʻohi ʻae ngaahi matapā mei he nima ʻo Manase mo ʻIfalemi, pea mei he kakai toe kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ʻi Siuta kotoa pē mo Penisimani; pea naʻa nau liu mai ki Selūsalema.

10 And they delivered it into the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the LORD; and the workmen that wrought in the house of the LORD gave it to mend and repair the house;

Pea naʻa nau tuku ia ki he nima ʻoe kau tangata ngāue ʻaia naʻe tauhi ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa nau ʻatu ia ki he kau tangata ngāue naʻe fai ʻae ngāue ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ke toe ngaohi mo fakalelei ʻae fale:

11 even to the carpenters and to the builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to make beams for the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

‌ʻIo, naʻa nau ʻatu ia ki he kau tufunga mo e kau langa fale, ke fakatauʻaki ʻae ngaahi maka kuo tā, mo e ʻakau maʻae ngaahi hokoʻanga alanga, pea ki he faliki ʻoe ngaahi fale ʻaia naʻe maumauʻi ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta.

12 And the men did the work faithfully; and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to preside over it; and other of the Levites, all that had skill with instruments of music.

Pea naʻe fai lelei ʻae ngāue ʻe he kau tangata: pea ko e kau enginaki ngāue kiate kinautolu, ko Sehati mo ʻOpataia, ko e ongo Livai ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo Melali: mo Sakalia mo Mesulami, ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe kau Kohate, ke tokoni ʻa hono fai: pea mo e kau Livai niʻihi, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe loto poto ʻi he ngaahi meʻa faiva.

13 Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and presided over all that did the work in every manner of service; and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.

Pea naʻa nau pule foki ki he kau [tangata ]haʻamo kavenga, pea ko e kau enginaki ʻakinautolu kiate kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ngāue ʻi he ngāue kotoa pē: pea naʻe ʻi he kau Livai, ʻae kau tangata tohi, mo e kau matāpule, mo e kau leʻo matapā.

14 And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the Law of the LORD given by Moses.

Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻomi kituaʻā ʻae ngaahi paʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova, naʻe ʻilo ʻe Hilikia ko e taulaʻeiki ha tohi ʻoe fono ʻa Sihova naʻe tuku ʻe Mōsese.

15 and Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe: 'I have found the book of the Law in the house of the LORD.' And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.

Pea naʻe lea ʻa Hilikia ʻo pehē kia Safani ko e tangata tohi, “Kuo u ʻilo ʻae tohi ʻoe fono ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.” Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Hilikia ʻae tohi kia Safani.

16 And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought back word unto the king, saying: 'All that was committed to thy servants, they do it.

Pea naʻe ʻave ʻae tohi ʻe Safani ki he tuʻi, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻae lea ki he tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fekau ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki kuo nau fai.

17 And they have poured out the money that was found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of the workmen.'

Pea kuo nau tānaki fakataha ʻae paʻanga kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea kuo tuku ia ki he nima ʻoe kau enginaki ngāue, pea ki he nima ʻoe kau tangata ngāue.”

18 And Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying: 'Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book.' And Shaphan read therein before the king.

Pea naʻe tala ʻe Safani ko e tangata tohi ki he tuʻi ʻo pehē, “Kuo tuku mai ʻe Hilikia ko e taulaʻeiki ha tohi.” Pea naʻe lau ia ʻe Safani ki he tuʻi.

19 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the Law, that he rent his clothes.

Pea ʻi he ongoʻi ʻe he tuʻi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻae fono, naʻa ne haehae hono ngaahi kofu.

20 And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying:

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi kia Hilikia, mo ʻAhikami ko e foha ʻo Safani, mo ʻApitoni ko e foha ʻo Maika, mo Safani ko e tangata tohi, mo ʻAsahia ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ʻo pehē,

21 'Go ye, inquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do according unto all that is written in this book.'

“Mou ʻalu, pea fehuʻi kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko au, pea maʻanautolu ʻoku toe ʻi ʻIsileli mo Siuta, ki he ngaahi lea ʻi he tohi kuo ʻilo: he kuo lahi ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo lingi kiate kitautolu, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai tauhi ʻe heʻetau ngaahi tamai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ke fai ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻi he tohi.”

22 So Hilkiah, and they whom the king had commanded, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe — now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter — and they spoke to her to that effect.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Hilikia, mo kinautolu naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he tuʻi, kia Hulita ko e fefine palōfita ko e uaifi ʻo Salumi ko e foha ʻo Tikiva, ko e foha ʻo Hahasi, ko e tauhi ʻoe ngaahi kofu: (pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he fale ako: ) pea nau lea pehē pe kiate ia.

23 And she said unto them: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Tell ye the man that sent you unto me:

Pea naʻe lea ia kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, “Mou tala ki he tangata naʻa ne fekau ʻakimoutolu kiate au,

24 Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah;

‌ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, Vakai, Te u ʻomi ʻae kovi ki he potu ni, pea ki hono kakai, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi malaʻia kotoa pē ʻaia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ʻaia naʻa nau lau ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Siuta:

25 because they have forsaken Me, and have offered unto other gods, that they might provoke Me with all the works of their hands; therefore is My wrath poured out upon this place, and it shall not be quenched.

Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau liʻaki au, pea mo e tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, koeʻuhi ke nau langaʻi ʻeku houhau lahi, ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻa honau nima: ko ia ʻe lilingi ai ʻeku houhau lahi ki he potu ni pea ʻe ʻikai fuʻifuʻi ia.

26 But unto the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him: Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: As touching the words which thou hast heard,

Pea koeʻuhi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau ʻakimoutolu ke fehuʻi kia Sihova, te mou tala pehē kiate ia, ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi lea ʻaia kuo ke ongoʻi:

27 because thy heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest His words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and hast humbled thyself before Me, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before Me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD.

Ko e meʻa ʻi he ongongofua ʻa ho loto, pea naʻa ke fakavaivai koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻi hoʻo ongoʻi ʻene ngaahi valoki ki he potu ni, pea ki he kakai ʻo ia, pea naʻa ke fakavaivai koe ʻi hoku ʻao, mo ke haehae ho ngaahi kofu, pea tangi ʻi hoku ʻao: ʻoku pehē foki ʻe Sihova kuo u ongoʻi koe.

28 Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof.' And they brought back word unto the king.

Vakai, te u fakataha koe ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai, pea ʻe tānaki koe ki ho tanuʻanga ʻi he fiemālie pe, pea ʻe ʻikai mamata ʻe ho mata ki he kovi kotoa pē ʻaia te u ʻomi ki he potu ni, pea ki he kakai ʻo ia.” Ko ia naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae lea ki he tuʻi.

29 Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.

Pea naʻe fekau ai ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ne tānaki fakataha ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo Siuta mo Selūsalema.

30 And the king went up to the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, both great and small; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the LORD.

Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae tuʻi ki he fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo e kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema, mo e kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai, mo e kakai kotoa pē, ʻae lahi mo e siʻi: pea naʻe lau ʻe ia ʻi honau telinga, ʻae lea kotoa pē ʻoe tohi ʻoe fuakava ʻaia naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.

31 And the king stood in his place, 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 his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.

Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono potu, pea fai ʻae fuakava ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke muimui ia ʻia Sihova, pea ke tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamoʻoni, mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻaki hono loto kotoa, mo hono laumālie kotoa, ke fai ki he ngaahi lea ʻoe fuakava, ʻaia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ni.

32 And he caused all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.

Pea naʻa ne fakakau ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻo Selūsalema, mo Penisimani, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ke nau tuʻu ʻo fai ki ai. Pea naʻe fai ʻe he kakai ʻo Selūsalema ʻo fakatatau ki he fuakava ʻae ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.

33 And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were found in Israel to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. All his days they departed not from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.

Pea naʻe toʻo ʻo ʻave ke mamaʻo ʻe Sosaia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi mei he ngaahi fonua kotoa pē naʻe kau ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ne fakakau ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe kātoa ʻi ʻIsileli ke nau tauhi, ʻio, ke tauhi ʻa Sihova ko honau ʻOtua. Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau liʻaki ʻenau muimui kia Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻoʻona.
