1 J osiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.

Yoosiyaah markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray siddeed sannadood, oo Yeruusaalemna boqor buu ku ahaa kow iyo soddon sannadood.

2 A nd he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

Oo wuxuu sameeyey wixii Rabbiga hortiisa ku qummanaa, wuuna ku socday jidkii awowgiis Daa'uud maray, ugamana uu leexan xagga midigta iyo xagga bidixda toona.

3 F or in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images.

Waayo, sannaddii siddeedaad oo boqornimadiisa intuu weli dhallinyaraa ayuu bilaabay inuu doondoono Ilaahii awowgiis Daa'uud, oo sannaddii laba iyo tobnaad ayuu bilaabay inuu reer Yahuudah iyo reer Yeruusaalem ka nadiifiyo meelihii sarsare, iyo geedihii Asheeraah, iyo sanamyadii xardhanaa, iyo sanamyadii shubka ahaaba.

4 T hey broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence, and the incense altars which were above them he cut down; and the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images he broke in pieces, and made dust of them and scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.

Oo meelihii Bacaliim allabariga loogu bixin jiray oo dhanna hortiisay ku dumiyeen, sanamyadii qorraxda ee iyaga ka sarreeyeyna wuu wada jaray, oo geedihii Asheeraah iyo sanamyadii xardhanaa, iyo sanamyadii shubka ahaana dhammaantood wuu wada burburiyey oo boodh ka dhigay, oo wuxuu ku dul firdhiyey qabuurihii kuwii allabariga u bixin jiray.

5 H e also burned the bones of the priests on their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.

Oo meelahoodii allabarigana wuxuu ku kor gubay lafihii wadaaddadii, oo dalka Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalemba wuu wada nadiifiyey.

6 A nd so he did in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, as far as Naphtali and all around, with axes.

Oo sidaasoo kaluu ka wada yeelay magaalooyinkii reer Manaseh iyo reer Efrayim iyo reer Simecoon iyo xataa kuwii reer Naftaali, iyo meelahoodii burbursanaa oo ku wareegsanaa oo dhan.

7 W hen he had broken down the altars and the wooden images, had beaten the carved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem. Hilkiah Finds the Book of the Law

Oo meelihii allabariga wuu wada dumiyey, geedihii Asheeraah iyo sanamyadii xardhanaana wuu wada budeeyey, oo sanamyadii qorraxda ee dalka Israa'iil oo dhan ku yiilna wuu wada jaray, markaasuu Yeruusaalem ku noqday.

8 I n the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the temple, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God.

Oo sannaddii siddeed iyo tobnaad oo boqornimadiisa, markuu nadiifiyey dalkii iyo gurigiiba ayuu diray Shaafaan ina Asalyaah, iyo Macaseeyaah oo ahaa taliyihii magaalada, iyo Yoo'aax ina Yoo'aaxaas oo ahaa taariikhqore inay cusboonaysiiyaan gurigii Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah.

9 W hen they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the doors had gathered from the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, from all the remnant of Israel, from all Judah and Benjamin, and which they had brought back to Jerusalem.

Markaasay u yimaadeen Xilqiyaah oo ahaa wadaadkii sare, oo waxay u dhiibeen lacagtii guriga Ilaah la geliyey, oo irid-dhawrayaasha reer Laawi ay ka soo ururiyeen reer Manaseh iyo reer Efrayim, iyo kuwii kale oo reer binu Israa'iil ah oo dhan, iyo reer Yahuudah iyo reer Benyaamiin oo dhan, iyo dadkii Yeruusaalem degganaaba.

10 T hen they put it in the hand of the foremen who had the oversight of the house of the Lord; and they gave it to the workmen who worked in the house of the Lord, to repair and restore the house.

Oo lacagtii waxay u dhiibeen shaqaalaha guriga Rabbiga u talin jiray, oo raggii guriga Rabbiga ka dhex shaqayn jirayna waxay u bixiyeen in guriga lagu hagaajiyo oo lagu cusboonaysiiyo.

11 T hey gave it to the craftsmen and builders to buy hewn stone and timber for beams, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

Waxay siiyeen nijaarradii iyo waxdhisayaashii inay ku soo iibiyaan dhagaxyo la qoray iyo alwaax wax laysku xidho, iyo inay alwaax saqafka haya u sameeyaan guryihii ay boqorradii reer Yahuudah dumiyeen.

12 A nd the men did the work faithfully. Their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah the Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to supervise. Others of the Levites, all of whom were skillful with instruments of music,

Oo raggiina shuqulkii waxay u sameeyeen si daacadnimo ah; kuwii u talin jiray oo shuqulka hore u wadi jirayna waxay ahaayeen Yaaxad iyo Cobadyaah oo ahaa reer Laawi oo ka ahaa reer Meraarii, iyo Sekaryaah iyo Meshullaam oo ahaa reer Qohaad, oo waxaa kaloo la jiray kuwa kale oo reer Laawi ah oo alaabta muusikada karay oo dhan.

13 w ere over the burden bearers and were overseers of all who did work in any kind of service. And some of the Levites were scribes, officers, and gatekeepers.

Oo weliba waxay kaloo u talin jireen xammaalladii, hore bayna u wadi jireen shuqulkii kuwii shaqayn jiray oo dhan, cayn kastoo hawshoodu ahaydba, oo reer Laawina waxaa ka joogay karraaniyo iyo saraakiil iyo iridjoogayaal. Kitaabkii Sharciga Waa La Helay

14 N ow 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.

Oo markay soo bixiyeen lacagtii guriga Rabbiga la geliyey ayaa wadaadkii Xilqiyaah ahaa helay kitaabkii sharcigii Rabbiga oo Muuse loo sii dhiibay.

15 T hen Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the Lord.” And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan.

Markaasaa Xilqiyaah jawaabay oo wuxuu karraanigii Shaafaan ku yidhi, Waxaan gurigii Rabbiga ka dhex helay Kitaabkii Sharciga. Oo Xilqiyaah kitaabkii buu u dhiibay Shaafaan.

16 S o Shaphan carried the book to the king, bringing the king word, saying, “All that was committed to your servants they are doing.

Markaasaa Shaafaan kitaabkii u geeyey boqorkii, oo weliba boqorkii buu u soo warramay oo ku yidhi, Addoommadaadii way wada samaynayaan wixii loo dhiibay oo dhan.

17 A nd they have gathered the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers and the workmen.”

Oo iyagu lacagtii guriga Rabbiga laga dhex helay way soo ururiyeen oo waxay u dhiibeen kuwa shuqulka u taliya iyo ragga shaqaalaha ah.

18 T hen Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read it before the king.

Oo Shaafaan oo karraanigii ahaa ayaa boqorkii u sheegay oo ku yidhi, Wadaadkii Xilqiyaah ahaa wuxuu ii dhiibay kitaab. Markaasaa Shaafaan kitaabkii ku akhriyey boqorka hortiisii.

19 T hus it happened, when the king heard the words of the Law, that he tore his clothes.

Oo markii boqorkii maqlay erayadii sharciga ayuu dharkiisii jeexjeexay.

20 T hen the king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king, saying,

Markaasaa boqorkii amray Xilqiyaah, iyo Axiiqaam ina Shaafaan, iyo Cabdoon ina Miikaah, iyo Shaafaan oo ahaa karraanigii, iyo Casaayaah oo ahaa addoonkii boqorka, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

21 “ Go, inquire of the Lord for me, and for those who are left in Israel and Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the wrath of the Lord that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord, to do according to all that is written in this book.”

War taga, oo aniga iyo kuwa dalka Israa'iil iyo dalka Yahuudah ku hadhayba Rabbiga wax inoo soo weyddiiya waxa ku saabsan erayada kitaabkii la helay, waayo, cadhada Rabbiga oo inagu soo degtay way weyn tahay, maxaa yeelay, awowayaasheen ma ay xajin inay wada yeelaan waxa kitaabkan ku qoran oo dhan.

22 S o Hilkiah and those the king had appointed went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe. (She dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter.) And they spoke to her to that effect.

Markaasaa Xilqiyaah iyo kuwii boqorku amrayba waxay u tageen nebiyaddii Xuldaah ahayd oo u dhaxday Shalluum ina Tawqhad, oo ahaa ina Xasraah, kaasoo ahaa kii dharka dhawri jiray. (Haddaba iyadu waxay degganayd Yeruusaalem xaafaddeeda labaad.) Markaasay iyadii kala hadleen xaalkaas.

23 T hen she answered them, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel, ‘Tell the man who sent you to Me,

Oo waxay ku tidhi, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaad ninkii ii soo kiin diray u sheegtaan,

24 “ Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will bring calamity on this place and on its inhabitants, all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah,

Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eeg, belaayaan ku soo dejin doonaa meeshan iyo dadka degganba, taasoo ah kulli habaarrada ku qoran kitaabkii boqorka Yahuudah hortiisa lagu akhriyey oo dhan,

25 b ecause they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. Therefore My wrath will be poured out on this place, and not be quenched.’”’

maxaa yeelay, iyagu way iga tageen, oo waxay foox u shideen ilaahyo kale inay igaga xanaajiyaan shuqulka gacmahooda oo dhan; oo sidaas daraaddeed cadhadaydu waxay ku kor degtay meeshan, mana qaboobi doonto.

26 B ut as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, in this manner you shall speak to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel: “ Concerning the words which you have heard—

Laakiinse boqorkii dalka Yahuudah oo idiin soo diray inaad Rabbiga wax soo weyddiisaan waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu ka leeyahay erayadii aad maqashay:

27 b ecause your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and against its inhabitants, and you humbled yourself before Me, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you, ” says the Lord.

Qalbigaagu wuu jilicsanaa oo Ilaah hortiisa ayaad isku hoosaysiisay markaad maqashay erayadiisii uu kaga hadlay meeshan iyo dadka degganba, oo hortayda ayaad isku hoosaysiisay, oo dharkaagii waad jeexjeexday, oo waad igu hor ooyday, oo sidaas daraaddeed waan ku maqlay, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.

28 “ Surely I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the calamity which I will bring on this place and its inhabitants.”’” So they brought back word to the king. Josiah Restores True Worship

Haddaba waxaan kula ururin doonaa awowayaashaa, oo qabrigaaga nabad baad ugu ururi doontaa, oo indhahaaguna ma ay arki doonaan kulli belaayada aan ku soo dejin doono meeshan iyo dadka degganba. Oo iyana boqorkii ayay mar kale u war keeneen.

29 T hen the king sent and gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.

Markaasaa boqorkii cid diray oo waxaa loo soo ururiyey odayaashii dalka Yahuudah iyo kuwii Yeruusaalem oo dhan.

30 T he king went up to the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem—the priests and the Levites, and all the people, great and small. And he read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant which had been found in the house of the Lord.

Oo boqorkii wuxuu u kacay gurigii Rabbiga oo waxaa isagii la socday raggii dalka Yahuudah oo dhan, iyo dadkii Yeruusaalem degganaa, iyo wadaaddadii, iyo kuwii reer Laawi, iyo dadkii oo dhan yar iyo weynba, oo isna wuxuu hortooda ku akhriyey dhammaan erayadii kitaabkii axdiga oo guriga Rabbiga laga dhex helay.

31 T hen the king stood in his place and made a covenant before the Lord, to follow the Lord, and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.

Markaasaa boqorkii istaagay meeshiisii, oo wuxuu Rabbiga hortiisa axdi ugu maray inuu Rabbiga raaco oo uu qalbigiisa oo dhan iyo naftiisa oo dhan ku dhawro amarradiisa, iyo markhaatiyadiisa, iyo qaynuunnadiisa, iyo inuu sii adkeeyo erayadii axdiga oo kitaabkan ku qornaa.

32 A nd he made all who were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin take a stand. So the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.

Oo wuxuu ka dhigay in intii Yeruusaalem iyo dalka reer Benyaamiin laga helay oo dhanba ay axdiga aqbalaan oo u istaagaan. Oo dadkii Yeruusaalem degganaana waxay yeeleen si waafaqsan axdigii Ilaah, kaasoo ahaa Ilaahii awowayaashood.

33 T hus Josiah removed all the abominations from all the country that belonged to the children of Israel, and made all who were present in Israel diligently serve the Lord their God. All his days they did not depart from following the Lord God of their fathers.

Markaasaa Yoosiyaah karaahiyadii oo dhan ka fogeeyey dalalka ay dadka Israa'iil lahaayeen oo dhan, oo dadkii dalka Israa'iil laga dhex helay oo dhanna wuxuu ka dhigay inay u adeegaan Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah. Oo intuu noolaa oo dhanna kama ay tegin lasocodka Rabbiga ah Ilaaha awowayaashood.
