Luo Tokosra 22

1 Josiah el yac oalkosr ke el tokosrala lun Judah, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac tolngoul sie. Nina kial pa Jedidah acn natul Adaiah, sie mwet in siti srisrik Bozkath.

Josias was eight years old when he began to reign: he reigned one and thirty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Idida, the daughter of Hadaia, of Besecath.

2 Josiah el oru ma LEUM GOD El insewowo kac. El fahsr tukun ma Tokosra David, papa matu tumal, el oru ke el arulana akos ma sap nukewa lun God.

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the ways of David his father: he turned not aside to the right hand, or to the left.

3 In yac aksingoul oalkosr ke Josiah el tokosra, el supwalla Shaphan, mwet sim inkul lun tokosra su wen natul Azaliah ac nutin natul Meshullam, nu in Tempul ac fahk ouinge nu sel,

And in the eighteenth year of king Josias, the king sent Saphan the son of Assia, the son of Messulam, the scribe of the temple of the Lord, saying to him:

4 “Fahla nwe yorol Mwet Tol Fulat Hilkiah, ac siyuk sel ke lupan mani ma mwet tol ma orekma ke nien utyak nu in Tempul uh orani sin mwet uh.

Go to Helcias the high priest, that the money may be put together which is brought into the temple of the Lord, which the doorkeepers of the temple have gathered of the people.

5 Fahkang nu sel elan sang mani an nu sin mwet ma kol onon ke Tempul ah. Elos in sang molela

And let it be given to the workmen by the overseers of the house of the Lord: and lot them distribute it to those that work in the temple of the Lord, to repair the temple:

6 mwet kamtu, mwet musa, mwet akmusra, oayapa moli sak ac eot ma orekmakinyuk ke onon lalos ah.

That is, to carpenters and masons, and to such as mend breaches: and that timber may be bought, and stones out of the quarries, to repair the temple of the Lord.

7 Mwet karingin orekma uh elos arulana suwohs ke orekma lalos, pwanang tia eneneyuk elos in aketeya orekmakinyen mani uh selos.”

But let there be no reckoning made with them of the money which they receive, but let them have it in their power, and in their trust.

8 Shaphan el usla sap soko lal tokosra inge nu sel Hilkiah, ac Hilkiah el fahkang nu sel lah el konauk Book in Ma Sap ah in Tempul. Hilkiah el sang book sac nu sel, ac Shaphan el riti.

And Helcias the high priest said to Saphan the scribe: I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord: and Helcias gave the book to Saphan, and he read it.

9 Na el folokla nu yurin tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Mwet kulansap lom elos usla tari mani ma oan in Tempul, ac sang nu sin mwet kol orekma in onon sac.”

And Saphan the scribe came to the king, and brought him word again concerning that which he had commanded, and said: Thy servants have gathered together the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and they have given it to be distributed to the workmen, by the overseers of the works of the temple of the Lord.

10 Ac el sifilpa fahk, “Book se pa Hilkiahel se nu sik inge.” Na el riti nu sel tokosra.

And Saphan the scribe told the king, saying: Helcias the priest hath delivered to me a book. And when Saphan had read it before the king,

11 Ke tokosra el lohng ke ritiyuk book sac, el fosrnga kac ac salik nuknuk lal,

And the king had heard the words of the law of the Lord, he rent his garments.

12 na el sapla nu sel Hilkiah mwet tol, nu sel Ahikam wen natul Shaphan, nu sel Achbor wen natul Micaiah, nu sel Shaphan mwet sim inkul sin tokosra, ac nu sel Asaiah mwet tutafpo fulat lun tokosra, ac fahk ouinge:

And he commanded Helcias the priest, and Ahicam the son of Saphan, and Achobor the son of Micha, and Saphan the scribe, and Asaia the king’s servant, saying:

13 “Fahla aolyu ac mwet nukewa lun Judah, ac siyuk sin LEUM GOD lah mea kalmen mwe luti in book se inge. LEUM GOD lah mea kalmen mwe luti in book se inge. LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sesr mweyen mwet matu lasr meet ah elos tiana oru ma book se inge fahk in orek.”

Go and consult the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all Juda, concerning the words of this book which is found: for the great wrath of the Lord is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened to the words of this book, to do all that is written for us.

14 Hilkiah, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, ac Asaiah elos som in lolngok yurin mutan palu se pangpang Huldah, su muta in acn lalela sasu in Jerusalem. (Mukul tumal pa Shallum, wen natul Tikvah ac nutin natul Harhas. El pa liyaung nuknuk in alu lun Tempul.) Elos aketeya nu sel Huldah ma sikyak uh,

So Helcias the priest, and Ahicam, and Achobor, and Saphan, and Asaia went to Holda the prophetess the wife of Sellum the son of Thecua, the son of Araas keeper of the wardrobe, who dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second: and they spoke to her.

15 na el sap elos in folokla nu yorol tokosra, ac fahkak nu sel

And she said to them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Tell the man that sent you to me:

16 kas inge sin LEUM GOD: “Nga ac fah kalyei acn Jerusalem ac mwet nukewa we, oana ma simla in book se tokosra el riti.

Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will bring evils upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, all the words of the law which the king of Juda hath read:

17 Elos sisyula ac oru kisa lalos nu sin god saya, ac purakak kasrkusrak luk ke ma nukewa elos oru. Kasrkusrak luk arulana yohk lain Jerusalem, na ac fah tiana wanginla.

Because they have forsaken me, and have sacrificed to strange gods, provoking me by all the works of their hands: therefore my indignation shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.

18 Nu sin tokosra sifacna, pa inge ma nga, LEUM GOD lun Israel, fahk uh: Kom lohng ma simla in book sac,

But to the king of Juda, who sent you to consult the Lord, thus shall you say: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Forasmuch as thou hast heard the words of the book,

19 ac kom auliyak ac sifacna akpusiselye kom ye mutuk, ac seya nuknuk lom ac tung ke kom lohng lah nga akola in kalyei Jerusalem ac mwet su muta we. Nga ac fah oru tuh acn Jerusalem in sie mwe aksangeng nu sin mwet in liye. Mwet uh ac fah orekmakin inen acn we oana sie kas in selnga. Tusruktu nga lohng pre lom an,

And thy heart hath been moved to fear, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord, hearing the words against this place, and the inhabitants thereof, to wit, that they should become a wonder and a curse: and thou hast rent thy garments, and wept before me, I also have heard thee, saith the Lord:

20 ac mwe akkeok su nga akola in oru nu sin Jerusalem ac tia orekla nwe ke tukun kom misa. Nga ac fah lela kom in misa in misla.” Na mwet inge elos us kas inge ac folokla nu yorol Tokosra Josiah.

Therefore I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy sepulchre in peace, that thy eyes may not see all the evils which I will bring; upon this place.
