2 Chronicles 34
1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem.
Josiah a manghai vaengah kum rhet lo ca pueng tih Jerusalem ah kum sawmthum kum khat manghai.
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.
Tedae BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem a saii phoeiah a napa David kah longpuei ah a pongpa dongah banvoei bantang la phael pawh.
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.
A manghai hang vaengah kum rhet lo tih amah camoe pueng dae a napa David kah Pathen te toem hamla a tong. Kum hlai nit vaengah Judah neh Jerusalem te caihcil hamla a tong tih hmuensang neh Asherah, mueidaep neh mueihlawn khaw a khoe.
4 And they brake 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 brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strowed it upon the graves [of them] that had sacrificed unto them.
Baal rhoek kah hmueihtuk te anih mikhmuh ah a palet uh tih a so hang kah bunglawn neh Asherah te khaw a top. Mueidaep neh mueihlawn te a dae tih a tip sak. Te phoeiah tah te rhoek taengkah aka nawn rhoek kah phuel hman ah a haeh.
5 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
Khosoih rhoek kah a rhuh te khaw amah hmueihtuk, hmueihtuk ah a hoeh tih Judah neh Jerusalem te a caihcil.
6 And [so did he] in the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even unto Napthali, in their ruins round about.
Manasseh khopuei rhoek neh Ephraim ah khaw, Simeon neh tlang kah Naphtali khaw, a kaepvai kah amih im te a cunghang neh a saii pah.
7 And he brake 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.
Hmueihtuk te a palet uh tih Asherah neh mueidaep te khaw a tip la a phop. Israel khohmuen tom kah bunglawn boeih te a top phoeiah Jerusalem la mael.
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.
A manghai te kum hlai rhet vaengah tah khohmuen neh im caihcil hamla Azaliah capa Shaphan a tueih. A Pathen BOEIPA im aka duel ham te khocil aka khoem Jehoahaz capa Joah neh khopuei mangpa Maaseiah te a khueh.
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 of the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Te phoeiah khosoih puei Hilkiah taengla cet uh tih Pathen im la aka pawk tangka te a paek uh. Te te cingkhaa aka tawt Levi rhoek loh Manasseh, Ephraim kut lamkah neh Israel kah a meet boeih taeng lamkah, Judah boeih neh Benjamin taeng lamkah ni a coi. Te phoeiah khosa rhoek neh Jerusalem la mael uh.
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 amend and repair the house;
Te phoeiah tah BOEIPA im kah bitat saii a khueh kut ah a paek uh. Te te bitat aka saii khaw, BOEIPA im aka saii khaw, im tlaihvong ham neh duel vaengkah ham khaw a paek uh.
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.
Kutthai taeng neh im aka sa taengah khaw, lungrhaih lung neh thing aka lai ham khaw, hnarhui neh Judah manghai rhoek loh a phae tangtae im a tung nah ham khaw a paek uh.
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 set it forward: and [other of] the Levites, all that could skill of instruments of music.
Hlang rhoek long khaw bitat dongah uepomnah neh a saii uh. Amih soah te Merari koca lamkah Levi Jahath neh Obadiah, aka mawt ham te Kohathi koca lamkah Zekhariah neh Meshullam, lumlaa tumbael aka yakming Levi boeih te khaw a thum sak.
13 Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and set forward all that did the work in every manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.
Hnophuei soah khaw, thothuengnah neh thothuengnah ham bitat aka saii boeih soah aka mawt la om uh. Levi lamkah rhoek tah cadaek, rhoiboei neh thoh tawt la om uh.
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.
BOEIPA im la aka pawk tangka te a loh uh vaengah khosoih Hilkiah loh Moses kut dong lamkah BOEIPA olkhueng cabu te a hmuh.
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.
Hilkiah loh cadaek Shaphan te a voek tih, “BOEIPA im ah olkhueng cabu ka hmuh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah Hilkiah loh cabu te Shaphan taengah a paek.
16 And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought the king word again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they do it.
Shaphan loh cabu te manghai taengla a khuen. Manghai te ol koep a mael tih, “Na sal rhoek kut dongah na paek bangla boeih a saii uh.
17 And they have emptied 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.
BOEIPA im ah a hmuh tangka te a khok uh coeng. Te te aka soep kut dong neh bitat aka saii kut ah a paek uh,” a ti nah.
18 And Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read therein before the king.
Te phoeiah cadaek Shaphan te manghai taengla puen tih, “Khosoih Hilkiah loh kai taengah cabu m'paek,” a ti nah tih te te Shaphan loh manghai mikhmuh ah a tae.
19 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.
Tedae manghai loh olkhueng ol te a yaak vaengah a himbai te a phen.
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,
Te dongah manghai loh Hilkiah neh Shaphan capa Ahikam, Maikah capa Abdon, cadaek Shaphan, manghai kah sal Asaiah te a uen.
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.
Amih te, “Cet uh, kai ham khaw, Israel khui neh Judah khuikah aka sueng rhoek ham khaw BOEIPA te toem uh. Cabu dongkah aka thoeng ol bangla mamih soah aka bo BOEIPA kah kosi he len coeng. Te khaw he cabu dongkah a daek bang boeih la vai hamla a pa rhoek loh BOEIPA ol he a ngaithuen pawt dongah ni,” a ti nah.
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 spake to her to that effect.
Te phoeiah Hilkiah neh manghai taengkah rhoek te Himbai aka khoem Hasrah koca Tikvah capa Shallum yuu, tonghmanu Huldah taengla cet. Anih te Jerusalem kah a hnukthoi ah kho a sak tih tahae kah bangla amah taengah a thui uh.
23 And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: tell ye the man that sent you unto me,
Te vaengah amih te, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai taengla nangmih aka tueih hlang taengah khaw thui uh.
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:
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai loh he hmuen so neh a khuikah khosa rhoek soah Judah manghai mikhmuh ah a tae bangla cabu khuikah a daek thaephoeinah cungkuem neh yoethaenah ka thoeng sak coeng.
25 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore is my wrath poured out upon this place, and it shall not be quenched.
Kai n'hnawt uh tih a phum khaw a kut dongkah khoboe cungkuem neh kai veet hamla pathen tloe rhoek taengah a phum uh. Te dongah ka kosi loh he hmuen he a bo thil vetih daeh mahpawh.
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,
BOEIPA toem hamla nangmih aka tueih Judah manghai te khaw amah taengah he he thui pah. Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Tekah ol te na yaak coeng.
27 because thine 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.
Na thinko phoena tih Pathen mikhmuh ah na kunyun coeng. Amah ol te he hmuen ham neh amah khosa rhoek ham na yaak. Te vaengah ka mikhmuh ah khaw na kunyun. Na himbai te na phen tih ka mikhmuh ah na rhah vaengah khaw ka yaak. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
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 the king word again.
Kai loh nang te na pa rhoek taengla kang khoem sak vetih namah phuel ah ngaimong la n'up uh bitni ne. He hmuen so neh amah khosa rhoek soah yoethae cungkuem ka khuen te na mik loh hmu mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te dongah manghai te ol a mael uh.
29 Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Te phoeiah manghai loh Judah neh Jerusalem kah a hamca boeih te a tah tih a coi.
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.
Manghai neh Judah hlang boeih khaw, Jerusalem kah khosa rhoek khaw, khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek khaw, pilnam boeih khaw a kangham lamloh tanoe hil khaw BOEIPA im la cet. Te phoeiah tah amih hna ah BOEIPA im kah a hmuh paipi cabu dongkah ol boeih te a tae pah.
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.
Manghai te amah paihmuen ah pai tih BOEIPA hnukah pongpa ham neh a olpaek neh a olphong khaw, a oltlueh te a thinko boeih neh, a hinglu boeih neh ngaithuen ham, te cabu dongah a daek paipi ol te vai hamla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah paipi te a saii.
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.
Jerusalem neh Benjamin kah a hmuh boeih taengah khaw a cak sak. Te dongah Jerusalem kah khosa rhoek long khaw a napa rhoek kah Pathen taengah Pathen kah paipi bangla a saii uh.
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.
Josiah loh tueilaehkoi boeih te tah Israel ca rhoek kah khohmuen tom lamloh a khoe. Israel kah aka phoe boeih te khaw amamih kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah thothueng sak ham tho a thueng. Anih tue khuiah tah a napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA hnuk lamloh nong uh pawh.
