1 E waru nga tau o Hohia i tona kingitanga, a e toru tekau ma tahi nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Ierira, he tamahine na Araia, no Pohokata.

A son of eight years Josiah in his reigning, and thirty and one years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother Jedidah daughter of Adaiah of Boskath,

2 A tika tonu tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa: i haere hoki ia i runga i nga ara katoa o tona tupuna o Rawiri, a kihai i peka ki matau, ki maui.

and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walketh in all the way of David his father, and hath not turned aside -- right or left.

3 N a i te tekau ma waru o nga tau o Kingi Hohia ka unga e te kingi a Hapana tama a Ataria tama a Mehurama, te kaituhituhi, ki te whare o Ihowa; i mea ia,

And it cometh to pass, in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, the king hath sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of Jehovah, saying,

4 H aere ki a Hirikia ki te tino tohunga, kia huihuia e ia te moni e kawea ana mai ki roto ki te whare o Ihowa, ta nga kaitiaki o te kuwaha i tango ai i te iwi;

`Go up unto Hilkiah the high priest, and he doth complete the silver that is brought into the house of Jehovah, that the keepers of the threshold have gathered from the people,

5 K a hoatu ki nga ringa o nga kaimahi o te mahi, o nga kaitohutohu o te whare o Ihowa; a ma ratou e hoatu ki nga kaimahi o te mahi i te whare o Ihowa, hei hanga mo nga wahi pakaru o te whare;

and they give it into the hand of the doers of the work, the overseers, in the house of Jehovah, and they give it to the doers of the work that in the house of Jehovah, to strengthen the breach of the house,

6 K i nga kamura, ki nga kaihanga, ki nga kaimahi kohatu; a hei hoko i nga rakau, i nga kohatu tarai, hei hanga mo te whare.

to artificers, and to builders, and the wall, and to buy wood and hewn stones to strengthen the house;

7 O tiia kihai i uiuia a ratou meatanga i te moni i hoatu nei ki o ratou ringa; he pono hoki ta ratou mahi.

only, the silver that is given into their hand is not reckoned with them, for in faithfulness they are dealing.

8 N a ka mea a Hirikia tino tohunga ki a Hapana kaituhituhi, Kua kitea e ahau te pukapuka o te ture i te whare o Ihowa. Na ka hoatu e Hirikia te pukapuka ki a Hapana, a korerotia ana e ia.

And Hilkiah the high priest saith unto Shaphan the scribe, `A book of the law I have found in the house of Jehovah;' and Hilkiah giveth the book unto Shaphan, and he readeth it.

9 N a ka haere a Hapana kaituhituhi ki te kingi, whakahokia ana te korero e ia ki te kingi, i mea ia, Kua ringiringihia e au pononga te moni i kitea ki te whare, a hoatu ana ki nga ringa o nga kaimahi i te mahi, o nga kaitohutohu i te whare o Ihowa.

And Shaphan the scribe cometh in unto the king, and bringeth the king back word, and saith, `Thy servants have poured out the silver that hath been found in the house, and give it into the hand of the doers of the work, the inspectors, in the house of Jehovah.'

10 N a ka whakaatu a Hapana kaituhituhi ki te kingi, ka mea, Kua homai e Hirikia tohunga he pukapuka ki ahau. Na korerotia ana e Hapana ki te aroaro o te kingi.

And Shaphan the scribe declareth to the king, saying, `A book hath Hilkiah the priest given to me;' and Shaphan readeth it before the king.

11 A , no te rongonga o te kingi i nga kupu o te pukapuka o te ture, ka haea e ia ona kakahu.

And it cometh to pass, at the king's hearing the words of the book of the law, that he rendeth his garments,

12 N a ka whakahau te kingi ki te tohunga, ki a Hirikia, ratou ko Ahikama tama a Hapana, ko Akaporo tama a Mikaia, ko Hapana kaituhituhi, ko Ahaia tangata a te kingi, ka mea,

and the king commandeth Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Achbor son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah servant of the king, saying,

13 H aere, ui atu ki a Ihowa moku, mo tenei iwi, mo Hura katoa hoki, he mea na nga kupu o tenei pukapuka kua kitea nei: he nui hoki te riri o Ihowa kua ngiha nei ki a tatou, no te mea kihai o tatou matua i rongo ki nga kupu o tenei pukapuka, kihai i mahi i nga mea katoa i tuhituhia hei mea ma tatou.

`Go, seek Jehovah for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found, for great the fury of Jehovah that is kindled against us, because that our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according to all that is written for us.'

14 H eoi haere ana a Hirikia tohunga ratou ko Ahikama, ko Akaporo, ko Hapana, ko Ahaia ki a Hurura, ki te wahine poropiti, wahine a Harumu kaitiaki kakahu, he tama hoki tera na Tikiwa tama a Harahaha: i Hiruharama hoki taua wahine e noho ana, i te w ahi tuarua. Na korero ana ratou ki a ia.

And Hilkiah the priest goeth, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, unto Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum, son of Tikvah, son of Harhas, keeper of the garments, and she is dwelling in Jerusalem in the second, and they speak unto her.

15 N a ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ko te korero tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Mea atu ki te tangata nana koutou i unga mai ki ahau,

And she saith unto them, `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Say to the man who hath sent you unto me:

16 K o ta Ihowa kupu tenei, Nana, ka kawea atu e ahau he kino ki runga ki tenei wahi, ki runga ano i ona tangata, ara nga kupu katoa o te pukapuka i korerotia na e te kingi o Hura;

Thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am bringing in evil unto this place and on its inhabitants, all the words of the book that the king of Judah hath read,

17 M o ratou i whakarere i ahau, i tahu whakakakara ki nga atua ke, he whakapataritari hoki i ahau ki nga mahi katoa a o ratou ringa; koia i ngiha ai toku riri ki tenei wahi, a e kore e tineia.

because that they have forsaken Me, and make perfume to other gods, so as to provoke Me to anger with every work of their hands, and My wrath hath been kindled against this place, and it is not quenched.

18 O tiia me ki atu e koutou ki te kingi o Hura nana nei koutou i unga mai ki te ui ki a Ihowa, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira; Na mo nga kupu i rongo na koe,

`And unto the king of Judah, who is sending you to seek Jehovah, thus do ye say unto him, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, The words that thou hast heard --

19 N a te mea he ngawari tou ngakau, a kua whakaiti koe i a koe ki te aroaro o Ihowa, i a koe ka rongo na ki taku i mea ai mo tenei wahi, mo ona tangata hoki, kia meinga ratou hei ururua, hei kanga; a kua haehae i ou kakahu, kua tangi ki toku aroaro; na kua rongo ano hoki ahau i a koe, e ai ta Ihowa.

because thy heart tender, and thou art humbled because of Jehovah, in thy hearing that which I have spoken against this place, and against its inhabitants, to be for a desolation, and for a reviling, and dost rend thy garments, and weep before Me -- I also have heard -- the affirmation of Jehovah --

20 N ana, ka huihuia atu koe e ahau ki ou matua, ka huihuia atu ano koe ki tou tanumanga i runga i te rangimarie, a e kore ou kanohi e kite i nga kino katoa e kawea mai e ahau ki tenei wahi. Na whakahokia ana te korero e ratou ki te kingi.

therefore, lo, I am gathering thee unto thy fathers, and thou hast been gathered unto thy grave in peace, and thine eyes do not look on any of the evil that I am bringing in on this place;' and they bring the king back word.
