2 Chronicles 34
1 Josiah was eight years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 31 years.
Walo ti tawen ni Josias idi nangrugi isuna nga agturay; nagturay isuna iti 31 a tawen idiay Jerusalem.
2 He did things that were pleasing to Yahweh and conducted his life like his ancestor King David had done. He fully obeyed [IDM] all the laws of God.
Inaramidna ti nalinteg iti imatang ni Yahweh, ken nagbiag isuna a kas iti panagbiag ni David a kapuonanna, ken tinungpalna amin a bilin ti Dios.
3 When he had been ruling for almost eight years, while he was still a young man, he began to worship God like his ancestor [King] David had done. Four years later, he began to get rid of all the pagan shrines on hilltops in Jerusalem and in [other places in] Judah, and the poles to [honor the goddess] Asherah, and the carved idols and statues of gods.
Ta iti maikawalo a tawen iti panagturayna, idi agtutubo pay laeng isuna, rinugianannan ti agdaydayaw iti Dios ni David a kapuonanna. Iti maika-12 a tawen, rinugianna a dalusan ti Juda ken Jerusalem babaen iti panangdadaelna kadagiti disso a pagdaydayawan kadagiti didiosen, dagiti imahen ni Asera, dagiti nakitikitan a ladawan, ken dagiti nasukog a ladawan.
4 While he directed them, his workers tore down the altars where people worshiped Baal. They smashed the altars that were near those altars, where people burned incense. They smashed the poles [honor the goddess] Asherah and the idols and statues. They smashed them to bits and scattered the bits over the graves of those who had offered sacrifices to them.
Rinebba dagiti tattao dagiti altar ni Baal iti imatang ni Josias; tinumbana dagiti altar a pagpuoran kadagiti insenso nga adda iti ngatoen dagitoy. Binurakburakna dagiti imahen ni Asera ken dagiti nakitikitan a ladawan, ken dagiti nasukog a landok a ladawan agingga a nagbalin a tapok dagitoy. Inwarisna ti tapok kadagiti tanem dagiti nangidatdatag kadagiti daton kadakuada.
5 They burned the bones of the priests [who had offered sacrifices]; they burned them on their own altars. In that way Josiah caused Jerusalem and other places in Judah to be acceptable places to worship Yahweh again.
Pinuoranna dagiti tultulang dagiti papadida kadagiti altar a nagdaydayawanda. Iti kastoy a wagas, dinalusanna ti Juda ken Jerusalem.
6 In the towns in [the tribes of] Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, and as far [north] as [the tribe of] Naphtali and in the ruins around all those towns,
Kasta met laeng ti inaramidna kadagiti siudad iti Manases, Efraim, ken Simeon, agingga iti Neftali, ken kadagiti nadadael a paset iti aglawlaw dagitoy.
7 Josiah’s [workers] tore down the pagan altars and the poles to [honor the goddess] Asherah, and crushed the idols to powder. They also smashed to pieces all the altars for burning incense throughout Israel. Then Josiah returned to Jerusalem.
Rinebbana dagiti altar, binurakburakna dagiti imahen ni Asera ken dagiti nakitikitan a ladawan, ken binurakna dagiti altar a pagpuoran kadagiti insenso iti entero a daga ti Israel; kalpasanna ket nagsubli isuna idiay Jerusalem.
8 When Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years, he [did something else to] cause the land and the temple to be acceptable places to worship Yahweh. He sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah and Maaseiah the governor of the city and Joah the son of Joahaz, who wrote on a scroll what happened in the city, to repair the temple of Yahweh.
Ita, iti maika-18 a tawen iti panagturayna, kalpasan a nadalusan ni Josias ti daga ken ti templo, imbaonna da Safan a putot a lalaki ni Asalias, ni Maasias, a gobernador iti siudad, ken ni Joas a putot a lalaki ni Joacaz a sekritario, a tarimaanenda ti balay ni Yahweh a Diosna.
9 They went to Hilkiah the Supreme Priest and gave him the money that had been brought to the temple. That was the money that the descendants of Levi who guarded the doors of the temple had collected from the people of [the tribes of] Manasseh and Ephraim and [other places in northern] Israel, and also from all the people in Jerusalem and other places in the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.
Napanda kenni Hilkias, a nangato a padi, ket intalekda kenkuana ti kuarta a naiyeg iti balay ti Dios, a naur-or dagiti Levita, a guardia dagiti ruangan manipud iti Manases ken Efraim, manipud kadagiti amin a nabatbati iti Israel, manipud iti entero a Juda ken Bejamin, ken kadagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem.
10 Then Hilkiah gave some of the money to the men who had been appointed to supervise the work of repairing the temple. The supervisors paid the men who did the repair work.
Intalekda ti kuarta kadagiti lallaki a mangimatmaton iti trabaho idiay templo ni Yahweh. Tinangdanan dagitoy a lallaki dagiti trabahador a nangtarimaan ken nangipasdek manen iti templo.
11 They also gave some of the money to the carpenters and builders to buy the cut stones and the timber for the joists and the beams for the buildings that the kings of Judah had allowed to decay.
Intangdanda dagitoy kadagiti karpentero ken kadagiti agipaspasdek, ken pinanggatangda kadagiti napurmaan a bato, ken kadagiti tabla a pangpatibker, ken maaramid nga adigi para kadagiti paset a binaybay-an a marba dagiti sigud nga ari ti Juda.
12 The workers did their work faithfully. Their supervisors were Jahath and Obadiah, who were descendants of [Levi’s son] Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, who were descendants of [Levi’s son] Kohath. All the other descendants of Levi, those who played musical instruments well,
Sipupudno nga inaramid dagiti lalaki ti trabahoda. Dagiti mangimatmaton kadakuada ket da Jahat ken Obadias, a Levita, a putot a lallaki ni Merari; ken ni Zacarias ken Mesullam, manipud kadagiti putot a lallaki dagiti Koatitas. Dagidiay dadduma a Levita a nalalaing iti musiko ket immatonanda dagiti agtrabtrabaho.
13 supervised all the workers as they did their various jobs. Some of the descendants of Levi were secretaries and some kept records and some guarded the gates [of the temple].
Dagitoy a Levita ket isuda ti mangimatmaton kadagiti agbunbunag kadagiti mausar iti pasdek ken kadagiti dadduma a lallaki nga agtrabtrabaho. Adda met dagiti Levita a sekritario, mangimatmaton, ken guardia dagiti ruangan.
14 While they were giving to the supervisors the money that had been taken to the temple, Hilkiah the [Supreme] Priest found a scroll on which were written the laws that Yahweh had told Moses to give to the people.
Idi inruarda dagiti kuarta a naiyeg iti balay ni Yahweh, nasarakan ni Hilkias a padi Ti Libro ti Linteg ni Yahweh a naited babaen kenni Moises.
15 So Hilkiah said to Shaphan, “I have found in the temple a scroll on which are written the laws [that God gave to Moses]!” Then Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan.
Kinuna ni Hilkias kenni Safan nga eskriba, “Nasarakak Ti Libro ti Linteg iti balay ni Yahweh.” Impan ni Hilkias ti Libro kenni Safan.
16 Shaphan [took the scroll] to the king and said to him, “Your officials are doing everything that you told them to do.
Impan ni Safan ti Libro iti ari, ken kinunana pay kenkuana, “Ar-aramiden dagiti adipenmo dagiti amin a naitalek kadakuada.
17 They have taken the money that was in the temple, and they have given it to the men who will supervise the workers who will repair the temple.”
Innalada amin dagiti kuarta a nakitada iti balay ni Yahweh, ket intalekda daytoy kadagiti mangimatmaton ken kadagiti trabahador.”
18 Then Shaphan said to the king, “[I have brought to you] a scroll [that] Hilkiah gave to me.” And Shaphan started to read it to the king.
Kinuna ni Safan nga eskriba iti ari, “Adda libro nga inted kaniak ni Hilkias a padi.” Kalpasanna, imbasa ni Safan ti libro iti ari.
19 When the king heard the laws [that were written in the scroll], he tore his clothes [because he was very dismayed/worried].
Idi mangngeg ti ari dagiti linteg, rinay-abna dagiti pagan-anayna.
20 Then he gave these instructions to Hilkiah, to Shaphan’s son Ahikam, to Micah’s son Abdon, to Shaphan, and to Asaiah the king’s special advisor:
Binilin ti ari da Hilkias, ni Ahikam a putot a lalaki ni Safan, ni Abdon a putot a lalaki ni Mika, ni Safan nga eskriba, ken ni Asaias, nga adipenna, a kunana,
21 “Go and ask Yahweh for me, and for all his people who are still alive in Judah and Israel, about what is written in this scroll that has been found. Because [it is clear that] Yahweh is very angry with us because our ancestors disobeyed what Yahweh said; they did not obey the laws that are written on this scroll.”
“Mapanyo saludsoden ti pagayatan ni Yahweh kaniak, ken kadagiti nabati iti Israel ken iti Juda, gapu kadagiti sasao iti libro a nasarakan. Ta nakaro ti pungtot ni Yahweh a naidissuor kadatayo. Nakaro unay, gapu ta saan nga impangag dagiti kapuonantayo dagiti sasao iti daytoy a libro a kas panangtungpal koma kadagiti amin a naisurat iti daytoy a libro.”
22 So Hilkiah and the others went to talk with a woman whose name was Huldah, who was a prophetess who lived in the newer part of Jerusalem. Her husband Shallum who was the son of Tikvah, took care of the robes that were worn [in the temple].
Isu a ni Hilkias, ken dagiti binilin ti ari, ket napanda kenni Hulda a babai a profeta, nga asawa ni Sallum a putot a lalaki ni Tokat, a putot a lalaki ni Hara, a mangay-aywan kadagiti kawes (agnanaed isuna idiay Jerusalem idiay Maikadua a Distrito), ket kinasaritada isuna iti kastoy a wagas:
23 [When they told her what the king had said, ] she said to them, “This is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says: ‘Go back and tell the king who sent you
Kinunana kadakuada, “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, a Dios ti Israel: 'Ibagayo iti tao a nangibaon kadakayo nga umaykayo kaniak,
24 that this is what Yahweh says: “Listen to this carefully. I am going to cause a disaster to strike Jerusalem and all the people who live here. I will cause them to experience the curses that were written in the scroll that was read to the king of Judah.
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: 'Dumngegka, mangidissuorakto iti didigra iti daytoy a lugar ken kadagiti agnanaed iti daytoy, dagiti amin a lunod a naisurat iti libro nga imbasada iti sangoanan ti ari ti Juda.
25 I will do that because they have rejected me, and they burn incense to [honor] other gods. They have caused me to become very angry because of all the idols that they have made (OR, because of all the wicked things that they have done), [and my anger is like] a fire that will not be extinguished.
Gapu ta linaksiddak ken nangpuorda kadagiti insenso kadagiti didiosen, tapno pagpungtotendak babaen kadagitoy nga inar-aramidda-ngarud, maidissuorto ti pungtotko iti daytoy a lugar, ket saanto nga agbaaw daytoy.””
26 The king of Judah sent you to ask what I, Yahweh, want. Go and tell him that this is what I, Yahweh, the God whom you Israelis worship, say about what you read:
Ngem maipapan iti ari ti Juda, a nangibaon kadakayo tapno saludsoden ti pagayatan ni Yahweh, kastoy ti ibagayo kenkuana: “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, a Dios ti Israel: Maipanggep kadagiti sasao a nangngegmo:
27 “Because you heeded [what was written in the scroll], and you humbled yourself when you heard what I said to warn [about what would happen to] this city and the people who live here, and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you.
'gapu ta nagbabawika, ken nagpakumbabaka iti sangoanan ti Dios idi nangngegmo dagiti sasaona a maibusor iti daytoy a lugar ken kadagiti agnanaed iti daytoy, ken gapu ta nagpakumbabaka iti sangoanak ken rinay-abmo dagiti pagan-anaymo ken immasugka iti sangoanak, impangagka met'-kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
28 So I will allow you to die and be buried peacefully. I will cause a great disaster to strike this place and the people who live here, but you will not [be alive to] see it.”’” So they reported her reply to the king.
‘Kitaem, itiponkanto kadagiti kapuonam; natalnanto ti pannakaitanemmo, ken saanto a maimatangan dagiti matam ti uray ania kadagiti didigra nga idissuorko iti daytoy a lugar ken kadagiti agnanaed iti daytoy."”” Impakaammo ngarud dagiti lallaki daytoy a mensahe iti ari.
29 Then the king summoned all the elders of Jerusalem and [other places in] Judea.
Kalpasanna, nangibaon ti ari kadagiti mensahero ken inummongna dagiti amin a panglakayen iti Juda ken Jerusalem.
30 They went up together to the temple with the leaders of Judah and many other people of Jerusalem and the priests and other descendants of Levi, from the least important to the most important ones. And while they listened, the king read to them everything that was in the scroll containing God’s laws that had been found in the temple.
Kalpasanna, napan ti ari iti balay ni Yahweh, ken dagiti amin a lallaki ti Juda ken dagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem, ken dagiti papadi, Levita, ken amin dagiti tattao, dagiti mararaem ken nanumo. Bayat nga agdengdengngegda, imbasa ti ari dagiti amin a linaon ti Libro ti Tulag a nasarakan idiay balay ni Yahweh.
31 Then the king stood next to the pillar [at the entrance to the temple, where kings stood when they announced something important], and while Yahweh was listening, he repeated his promise to very sincerely and completely obey Yahweh and all his commands and regulations and decrees that were written on the scroll.
Nagtakder ti ari iti lugarna ket nakitulag iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, nga agtulnog ken ni Yahweh, ken tungpalenna dagiti bilbilinna, dagiti pammaneknekna iti katulaganna, ken dagiti alagadenna, iti amin a puso ken kararuana, nga agtulnog kadagiti sasao iti katulagan a naisurat iti daytoy a libro.
32 Then the king said that everyone who lived in Jerusalem and from [the tribe of] Benjamin should promise that they also would obey those laws. And they did that, agreeing that they would keep the agreement that God, whom their ancestors had worshiped, had made with them.
Pinagkarina dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti Jerusalem ken Benjamin a tungpalenda ti katulagan. Nagtulnog dagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem iti tulag ti Dios, a Dios dagiti kapuonanda.
33 Josiah [instructed his workers to] remove all the detestable idols from everywhere in the land of the Israeli people, and he commanded that all the people from Israel who were there should worship [only] Yahweh their God. And as long as Josiah was alive, the people did what was pleasing to Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
Inikkat ni Josias dagiti amin a makarimon a banbanag kadagiti daga a kukua dagiti tattao ti Israel. Pinagdayawna kenni Yahweh a Diosda ti tunggal maysa iti Israel. Kadagiti amin nga al-aldawna, saanda a sinalungasing ti panagtulnogda kenni Yahweh a Dios dagiti kapuonanda.
