1 T hen King Josiah sent men out to bring to him all the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem.

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

2 T he king went up to the house of the Lord with all the men of Judah and all the people who lived in Jerusalem. The religious leaders, the men who speak for God, and all the people went with him, both small and great. And Josiah read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Law which was found in the house of the Lord.

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

3 T hen the king stood by the pillar. There he made an agreement before the Lord. He promised to follow the Lord and keep His Word and His Laws with all his heart and soul. He promised to obey the words of this agreement that were written in this book, and all the people joined him in the agreement.

Markaasaa boqorkii istaagay tiirka agtiisii, 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 axdigan oo kitaabkan ku qornaa, oo dadkii oo dhammuna axdigii bay aqbaleen oo u istaageen.

4 T hen the king spoke to Hilkiah the head religious leader, and the religious leaders who were next in power, and the door-keepers. He told them to bring out of the Lord’s house all the objects made for the false gods Baal and Asherah and for all the stars of heaven. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron. And he carried their ashes to Bethel.

Markaasaa boqorkii ku amray wadaadkii sare oo ahaa Xilqiyaah, iyo wadaaddadii lahaa derejada labaad, iyo iridjoogayaashii, inay macbudka Rabbiga ka soo bixiyaan kulli weelashii loo sameeyey Bacal, iyo geedihii Asheeraah, iyo ciidanka samada oo dhan; oo isna wuxuu ku gubay Yeruusaalem dibaddeeda oo ah berrimmadii Qidroon, oo dambaskoodiina Beytel buu u qaaday.

5 H e got rid of the religious leaders who worshiped false gods, whom the kings of Judah had chosen. They had been chosen to burn special perfume in the high places in the cities of Judah and in the land around Jerusalem. Josiah got rid of those who burned special perfume to Baal, to the sun and the moon, to groups of stars, and to all the stars of heaven.

Oo wuxuu casilay wadaaddadii sanamyada caabudi jiray oo ay boqorradii dalka Yahuudah u doorteen inay foox ku shidaan meelaha sarsare oo ku yaal magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudah iyo meelaha ku wareegsan Yeruusaalem, iyo weliba kuwii fooxa u shidi jiray Bacal, iyo qorraxda, iyo dayaxa, iyo xiddigaha, iyo ciidanka samada oo dhan.

6 H e brought out the object of the false goddess Asherah from the Lord’s house to the river Kidron outside Jerusalem. There he burned it and ground it to dust, and threw its dust on the people’s graves.

Oo geedihii Asheeraahna gurigii Rabbiga wuu ka soo bixiyey oo wuxuu geeyey Yeruusaalem dibaddeeda ilaa durdurka Qidroon, oo wuxuu ku gubay durdurkii Qidroon agtiisa, oo intuu ku tuntay ayuu budo ka dhigay, oo budadiina ku daadshay qabuurihii dadka.

7 H e broke down the small rooms in the Lord’s house that were used by the men who sold the use of their bodies for their false gods. The women were making special curtains for the false goddess Asherah in these rooms.

Oo wuxuu dumiyey guryihii makhnuudyada oo ku dhex yiil guriga Rabbiga meeshay naaguhu ku samayn jireen daahyadii geedihii Asheeraah.

8 T hen King Josiah brought all the religious leaders from the cities of Judah. And he showed how sinful the high places were where the religious leaders had burned special perfume, from Geba to Beersheba. He broke down the high places at the gate of Joshua the leader of the city, which were to the left of the city gate.

Oo wadaaddadii oo dhanna wuxuu ka soo kaxeeyey magaalooyinkii dalka Yahuudah, wuuna nijaaseeyey meelihii sarsare oo wadaaddadu fooxa ku shidi jireen, tan iyo Gebac ilaa Bi'ir Shebac; oo haddana wuxuu dumiyey meelihii sarsare oo irdaha, kuwaas oo ku yiil meesha laga soo galo iridda Yashuuca oo ahaa taliyihii magaalada, oo ku yiil xagga bidix ee iridda magaalada.

9 T he religious leaders of the high places did not go up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem. But they ate bread without yeast among their brothers.

Habase yeeshee wadaaddadii meelaha sarsare ma ay iman meeshii allabariga oo Rabbiga ee Yeruusaalem ku tiil, laakiinse walaalahood way ku dhex cuni jireen kibis aan khamiir lahayn.

10 T he king made Topheth unclean, which is in the valley of the sons of Hinnom. He did this so no one might give his son or daughter there as a burnt gift to the false god Molech.

Oo wuxuu nijaaseeyey Tofed oo ku taal dooxadii reer Xinnom, si uusan ninna wiilkiisa ama gabadhiisa dabkii u dhex marin Moleg.

11 J osiah got rid of the horses which the kings of Judah had given to the sun. They had given them at the door of the Lord’s house, by the room of Nathan-melech the leader. And the king burned the war-wagons of the sun with fire.

Oo wuxuu fogeeyey fardihii boqorradii dalka Yahuudah ay qorraxda ku siiyeen iridda laga soo galo guriga Rabbiga ee u dhow qolkii Naataan Meleg oo bohon ahaa uu degganaa, oo gaadhifardoodkii qorraxdana buu gubay.

12 K ing Josiah broke down the altars which were on the roof of Ahaz’s room on the second floor. They had been made by the kings of Judah. And he broke down the altars which Manasseh had made in the two open spaces of the Lord’s house. He broke them there and threw their dust into the river Kidron.

Oo meelihii allabariga oo ku yiil qowladda sare ee Aaxaas saqafkeeda oo boqorradii dalka Yahuudah ay sameeyeen, iyo meelihii allabariga oo Manaseh ka sameeyey labada barxadood oo guriga Rabbiga ayuu boqorkii wada dumiyey, oo halkaas intuu ka orday ayuu boodhkoodii ku shubay durdurkii Qidroon.

13 T he king made the high places sinful which were east of Jerusalem and south of the Mount of Destruction. King Solomon of Israel had built them for Ashtoreth the sinful goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the hated false god of Moab, and Milcom the hated god of the sons of Ammon.

Oo boqorkii wuxuu kaloo nijaaseeyey meelihii sarsare oo Yeruusaalem horteeda ku yiil, kuwaas oo ku yiil midigta buurta baabba'a, kuwaas oo Sulaymaan oo ahaa boqorkii reer binu Israa'iil uu u dhisay Cashtored oo ahayd karaahiyadii reer Siidoon, iyo Kemoosh oo ahaa karaahiyadii reer Moo'aab, iyo Milkom oo ahaa karaahiyadii reer Cammoon.

14 A nd Josiah broke in pieces the pillars used in worship and cut down the Asherim. He filled their places with human bones.

Oo wuxuu burburiyey tiirarkii, geedihii Asheeraahna wuu jaray, oo meelahoodiina wuxuu ka buuxiyey dad lafahood.

15 T he king broke down the altar at Bethel and the high place made by Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin, even that altar and the high place he broke down. He crushed its stones, ground them to dust, and burned the false goddess Asherah.

Oo weliba wuxuu kaloo dumiyey meeshii allabariga ee Beytel ku tiil, iyo meeshii sare oo Yaaraabcaam ina Nebaad oo dadkii Israa'iil dembaajiyey uu sameeyey, oo isla meeshii sare wuu gubay oo intuu ku tuntay ayuu budo ka dhigay, oo geedihii Asheeraahna wuu gubay.

16 A s Josiah turned, he saw the graves that were there on the mountain. He had the bones taken from the graves, and burned them on the altar. So he made the altar sinful, as the word of the Lord said would happen, through the man of God.

Oo Yoosiyaah markuu soo jeestay ayuu arkay qabuurihii buurta ku yiil, oo intuu cid diray oo qabuurihii lafihii ka soo bixiyey ayuu meeshii allabariga ku dul gubay, wuuna nijaaseeyey, sidii uu ahaa erayga Rabbiga oo ninkii Ilaah naadiyey, kaasoo ahaa kii waxyaalahan naadiyey.

17 T hen Josiah said, “What is this that I see?” The men of the city told him, “It is the grave of the man of God who came from Judah. He is the one who said that these things would happen which you have done against the altar of Bethel.”

Markaasuu yidhi, Taalladaas aan arkaa waa maxay? Oo dadkii magaaladu waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Waa qabrigii ninkii Ilaah oo dalka Yahuudah ka yimid oo naadiyey waxyaalahan aad ku samaysay meeshii allabariga ee Beytel.

18 J osiah said, “Let him alone. Let no one move his bones.” So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the man of God who came from Samaria.

Markaasuu yidhi, Iska daaya oo yaan ninna lafihiisa dhaqaajin. Sidaas daraaddeed way iska daayeen lafihiisii iyo lafihii nebigii Samaariya ka yimid.

19 J osiah took away all the houses of the high places in the cities of Samaria. The kings of Israel had made the Lord angry by building them. The king did to them just as he had done in Bethel.

Oo guryihii meelaha sarsare oo dhan ee ku yiil magaalooyinka Samaariya ee ay boqorradii dalka Israa'iil u dhiseen inay Rabbiga kaga xanaajiyaan ayuu Yoosiyaah wada dumiyey, oo wuxuu ku sameeyey falimihii uu Beytel ku sameeyey oo kale.

20 A nd he killed on the altar all the religious leaders of the high places who were there. He burned human bones on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem. Josiah Keeps the Passover

Oo wadaaddadii meelaha sarsare oo halkaas joogay oo dhanna wuxuu ku wada laayay meelihii allabariga dushooda, dushoodiina wuxuu ku gubay lafo dad, dabadeedna Yeruusaalem buu ku noqday.

21 K ing Josiah told all the people, “Keep the Passover to the Lord your God, as it is written in this Book of the Law.”

Markaasaa boqorkii dadkii oo dhan amray oo ku yidhi, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah u dhawra Iidda Kormaridda, siday ugu qoran tahay kitaabkan axdiga.

22 F or sure no such Passover had been kept since the days of the judges who ruled Israel. It had not been kept in all the days of the kings of Israel or Judah.

Hubaal Iiddaas Kormaridda oo kale lama dhawrin tan iyo wakhtiyadii xaakinnadu reer binu Israa'iil xukumi jireen, iyo wakhtiyadii boqorradii dalka Israa'iil oo dhan, iyo wakhtiyadii boqorradii dalka Yahuudah toona.

23 B ut this Passover was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem in the eighteenth year of King Josiah.

Laakiinse sannaddii siddeed iyo tobnaad oo Boqor Yoosiyaah ayaa Iiddaas Kormaridda Rabbiga loogu dhawray Yeruusaalem.

24 J osiah put away the people who spoke with spirits, and people who used their secret ways. He put away the house gods and the false gods and all the sinful things that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. He did this to obey the words of the Law which were written in the book that was found in the Lord’s house by Hilkiah the religious leader.

Oo weliba Yoosiyaah wuxuu baabbi'iyey kuwii ruuxaanta lahaa, iyo saaxiriintii, iyo teraafiimtii, iyo sanamyadii, iyo dhammaan karaahiyadii lagu arkay dalka Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalemba, si uu u adkeeyo erayadii sharcigii ku qornaa kitaabkii wadaadkii Xilqiyaah ka dhex helay gurigii Rabbiga.

25 B efore Josiah there was no king like him who turned to the Lord with all his heart and soul and strength, obeying all the Law of Moses. And no one like him came after him.

Oo isaga hortiis ma jirin boqor la mid ah oo Rabbiga ugu soo jeestay qalbigiisa oo dhan iyo naftiisa oo dhan iyo xooggiisa oo dhan siduu ahaa sharcigii Muuse oo dhan, oo isagii dabadiisna ma uu kicin boqor la mid ahu.

26 B ut the Lord did not stop from being very angry against Judah. Because Manasseh had done many things to make Him angry.

Laakiinse Rabbigu kama uu soo noqon cadhadiisii kululayd ee weynayd oo uu dadka Yahuudah ugu cadhooday xanaaqii uu Manaseh isaga ka xanaajiyey aawadiis.

27 T he Lord said, “I will put Judah away from My eyes, as I have put away Israel. I will put away Jerusalem, this city I have chosen. And I will put away the family of which I said, ‘My name will be there.’” Josiah Dies in Battle

Markaasaa Rabbigu yidhi, Anigu dadkii Yahuudahna hortayda waan ka fogaynayaa, sidaan dadkii Israa'iilba u fogeeyey oo kale, oo waan duminayaa magaaladan aan doortay oo ah Yeruusaalem, iyo gurigii aan idhi, Magacaygu halkaas ha yaallo.

28 N ow the rest of the acts of Josiah are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.

Haddaba Yoosiyaah falimihiisii kale iyo wixii uu sameeyey oo dhammu sow kuma qorna kitaabkii taariikhda boqorradii dalka Yahuudah?

29 I n his days Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt went up to the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates. King Josiah went to meet him. And Pharaoh Neco killed him at Megiddo when he saw him.

Oo isaga wakhtigiisii ayaa Fircoon Nekoo oo boqorka Masar ahaa ku kacay boqorkii Ashuur ilaa Webi Yufraad, oo waxaa isagii ku soo baxay Boqor Yoosiyaah, markaasaa Fircoon Nekoo isagii ku dilay Megiddoo agteeda markuu arkay.

30 J osiah’s servants carried his body from Megiddo in a war-wagon. They brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his own grave. Then the people of the land took his son Jehoahaz and poured oil on him and made him king in his father’s place. Jehoahaz Rules Judah

Oo addoommadiisii intay gaadhifaras Megiddoo kaga qaadeen isagoo meyd ah ayay Yeruusaalem keeneen oo qabrigiisii ku aaseen. Markaasay dadkii waddanku soo wateen Yehoo'aaxaas ina Yoosiyaah, oo intay subkeen ayay boqor uga dhigeen meeshii aabbihiis. Yehoo'aaxaas, Boqorkii Yahuudah

31 J ehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king. He ruled for three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

Oo Yehoo'aaxaas markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray saddex iyo labaatan sannadood, oo intii saddex bilood ah ayuu Yeruusaalem boqor ka ahaa; oo hooyadiis magaceeduna wuxuu ahaa Xamuutal ina Yeremyaah, oo reer Libnaah ahayd.

32 J ehoahaz did what was sinful in the eyes of the Lord. He did all that his fathers had done.

Oo isna wuxuu sameeyey wax Rabbiga hortiisa shar ku ah sidii wixii ay awowayaashiis sameeyeen oo dhan.

33 P haraoh Neco put him in prison at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not rule in Jerusalem. And he made the people of the land pay a tax of silver weighing as much as 100 men, and gold weighing as much as one man.

Fircoon Nekoo ayaa isagii ku xidhay Riblaah oo ku taal dalka Xamaad si uusan Yeruusaalem boqor ugu sii ahaan; oo dalkiina wuxuu saaray baad ah boqol talanti oo lacag ah iyo talanti dahab ah.

34 P haraoh Neco made Josiah’s son Eliakim king in the place of his father Josiah. And he changed his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz away to Egypt, where he died. Jehoiakim Rules Judah

Markaasaa Fircoon Nekoo ayaa Eliyaaqiim ina Yoosiyaah boqor uga dhigay meeshii aabbihiis Yoosiyaah, oo magiciisiina wuxuu u beddelay Yehooyaaqiim, laakiinse isagu Yehoo'aaxaas buu kaxeeyey, oo markuu Masar keenay ayuu halkaas ku dhintay.

35 S o Jehoiakim gave the silver and gold to Pharaoh. But he taxed the land to give Pharaoh the money he wanted. He took the silver and gold from the people of the land, from each one by the amount of tax he was made to pay. And he gave it to Pharaoh Neco.

Markaasaa Yehooyaaqiim lacagtii iyo dahabkii Fircoon siiyey; laakiinse wuxuu cashuuray dalka inuu lacagtii u bixiyo sidii Fircoon ugu amray; oo lacagtii iyo dahabkii wuxuu ka soo guray dadkii dalka degganaa, intii mid kastaba cashuurtiisu ahayd, si uu Fircoon Nekoo u siiyo. Yehooyaaqiim, Boqorkii Yahuudah

36 J ehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king. He ruled for eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.

Oo Yehooyaaqiimna markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray shan iyo labaatan sannadood, oo Yeruusaalemna wuxuu boqor ka ahaa kow iyo toban sannadood, oo hooyadiis magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Sebuudaah ina Fedaayaah, oo reer Ruumaah ahayd.

37 J ehoiakim did what was sinful in the eyes of the Lord. He did just as his fathers had done.

Oo isna wuxuu sameeyey wax shar ku ah Rabbiga hortiisa, sidii wixii ay awowayaashiis sameeyeen oo dhan.
