2 Chronicles 34
1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem.
Josia ne ja-higni aboro kane obedo ruoth kendo norito pinyno kodak Jerusalem kuom higni piero adek gachiel.
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.
Timbe Josia ne longʼo e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye kendo nowuotho e yore duto mag Daudi kwar-gi ma ok olokore kongʼiyo korachwich kata koracham.
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.
E higa mar aboro mar lochne kane pod en rawera nochako luwo Nyasach Daudi kwar mare. E hike mar apar gariyo nochako pwodho Juda kod Jerusalem koketho kuonde motingʼore gi malo mag lemo, gi sirni mag lemo mar Ashera, gi nyiseche mopa kod kido mothedhi.
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.
Kaluwore kod chik mane ogolo, kende liswa mag Baal nomuki; nomuko kende mag misango miwangʼoe ubani mane ochungʼ e wigi motoyogi matindo tindo, kendo nomuko sirni mag Ashera milamo, nyiseche manono kod kido milamo mongʼadogi matindo tindo. Magi nongʼinjo matindo tindo mokeyogi ewi liete mag jogo mane otimonegi liswa.
5 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
Nowangʼo choke jodolo e kendegi mag misango omiyo nopwodho Juda kod Jerusalem.
6 And [so did he] in the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even unto Napthali, in their ruins round about.
Kamano bende e miech Manase gi Efraim kod Simeon nyaka chop Naftali kaachiel gi kuonde molworogi mane osekethi,
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.
nomuko kende mag misango gi sirni mag Ashera milamo kendo notoyo nyisechegi mongʼinyore ka buru kendo nongʼado matindo tindo kende miwangʼoe ubani e piny Israel duto, bangʼe noduogo Jerusalem.
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.
E higa mar apar gaboro mar loch Josia mondo neni opwodh piny kod hekalu nooro Shafan wuod Azalia gi Maseya jatend dala maduongʼ kaachiel gi Joa wuod Joahaz ma jachan weche mondo olos hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache.
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.
Negidhi ir Hilkia jadolo maduongʼ mi gimiye pesa mane osekel e hekalu mar Nyasaye ma jo-Lawi ma jorit dhoudi nosechoko kuom jo-Manase gi jo-Efraim kod jo-Israel duto mane odongʼ gi jo-Juda gi jo-Benjamin kaachiel gi joma nodak Jerusalem.
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;
Negiketogi e lwet joma otelo ne gedo mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Jogi nochulo jotich mane oloso kendo odwogo hekalu kaka ne ochalo chon.
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.
Jopa bepe kod jogedo bende nomi pesa mondo gingʼiewgo kite mopa kod yiend ripo kod sirni mondo gilosgo udi mane ruodhi Juda oweyo okethore.
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.
Jogo ne otiyo tijno gadiera. E tijno notelnigi kod jo-Lawi mane gin Jahath kod Obadia mane gin nyikwa Merari, kendo Zekaria gi Meshulam mane nyikwa Kohath. Jo-Lawi, ma gin jogo duto mane olony kuom goyo thumbe
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.
ema notelo ne jotich kendo negingʼiyo jotich mag tije mopogore opogore. Jo-Lawi moko ne jogoro gi jopuonj chike kod jorit dhoudi.
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.
Kane gigolo oko pesa mane oseter e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, Hilkia jadolo nonwangʼo Kitap Chik mar Jehova Nyasaye mane ochiw ne Musa.
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.
Hilkia nowachone Shafan jagoro niya, “Aseyudo Kitap Chik ei hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.” Nochiwe ni Shafan.
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.
Eka Shafan nokawo kitabuno motere ni ruoth mowachone niya, “Jodongi tiyo tije duto mane osemigi.
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.
Gisechulo pesa mane nitiere e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo gisechiwogi e lwet jotich kod jotend hekalu.”
18 And Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read therein before the king.
Bangʼe Shafan jagoro nowachone niya, “Hilkia jadolo osemiya kitabu moro.” Mi Shafan nosomo kitabuno e nyim ruoth.
19 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.
Kane ruoth owinjo weche mag Chik, noyiecho lepe.
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,
Nochiwo chikegi ne Hilkia gi Ahikam wuod Shafan gi Abdon wuod Mika gi Shafan jagoro kod Asaya jarit mar ruoth kowachonegi niya,
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.
“Dhiuru upenj Jehova Nyasaye gima biro timorena, jo-Israel kod jo-Juda modongʼ kaluwore gi weche mantiere e kitabu mosenwangʼno. Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye maliel ka mach osechomowa nikech kwerewa ok oserito wach Jehova Nyasaye; kendo ok gisetimo timbe moluwore gi gik moko duto mondiki e kitabuni.”
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.
Hilkia gi jogo mane ruoth ooro kaachiel kode nodhi ir Hulda janabi madhako mane chi Shalum wuod Tokhath, ma wuod Hasra jarit kar keno mar lep lemo. Nodak Jerusalem e gwengʼ mar ariyo.
23 And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: tell ye the man that sent you unto me,
Hulda jadolo madhako nowachonegi niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach jo-Israel wacho: Nyisuru ngʼatno mane oorou ira niya,
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:
‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Abiro kelo masira e pinyni kendo kuom joma odakie, kaluwore gi kwongʼ duto mondikie kitabu mosesom e nyim ruodh Juda.
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.
Mirimba nosik kuom pinyni kendo ok norum nikech gisejwangʼa ka giwangʼo ubani ne nyiseche manono kendo ka gimiya mirima kuom lamo nyiseche mopa gi lwedo.’
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,
Wachneuru ruodh Juda, mane oorou mondo upenja gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach jo-Israel wacho kaluwore gi weche musewinjo:
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.
Nikech ne uwinjo wach kendo uboloru e nyim Nyasaye kane uwinjo weche mane owacho kuom pinyni kod joma odakie, kendo nikech ne uboloru e nyima, ma uyiecho lepu kuywak e nyima, omiyo asewinjo ywaku, Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
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.
Koro anami iywe gi kwereni kendo noiki gi kwe. Ok inine masiche mabiro kelone pinyni gi joma odakie.’” Omiyo negidwoko wach ne ruoth.
29 Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Eka ruoth noluongo jodongo duto mag Juda kod Jerusalem kaachiel.
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.
Nodhi nyaka e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ka en gi jo-Juda, jo-Jerusalem, jodolo, jo-Lawi, kaachiel gi ji duto momewo kod ma jochan. Nosomonegi weche duto mane ondiki e Kitabu mar Singruok mane osenwangʼ e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ka giwinjo.
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.
Ruoth nochungʼ e bath siro kendo noketo winjruok mane oselal obedo kare e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kosingore ni enoluw Jehova Nyasaye kendo norit chikene gi wechene kod buchene gi chunye duto kod pache duto kendo norit weche mag singruok mondiki e kitabuni.
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.
Eka nomiyo jo-Jerusalem duto kod jo-Benjamin okwongʼore ni ginirit singruokno kendo jo-Jerusalem notimo mano kaluwore gi singruok mar Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kweregi.
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.
Josia nogolo gik makwero mag nyiseche manono e piny jo-Israel duto kendo nomiyo ji duto modak e piny Israel otiyo ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachgi. E ndalo duto mag ngimane ji ne ok oweyo luwo Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kweregi.
