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

Josiah was eight years old when he began his thirty-one-year reign in Jerusalem.

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

He did right in the sight of the Lord and walked in the ways of David his father and turned aside neither to the right hand nor to the left.

3 W aayo, 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.

For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after and yearn for the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherim, and the carved and molten images.

4 O o 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.

They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; the sun-images that were high above them he hewed down; the Asherim and the graven images and the molten images he broke in pieces and made dust of them and strewed it upon the graves of those who sacrificed to them.

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

Josiah burned the bones of the priests upon their altars, and so cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.

6 O o 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.

So he did in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, in their ruins round about,

7 O o 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.

He broke down the altars and the Asherim and beat the graven images into powder and hewed down all the sun-images throughout all the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.

8 O o 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.

In the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah governor of the city, and Joah son of Joahaz, the recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God.

9 M arkaasay 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.

When they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the doors had collected from Manasseh, Ephraim, all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah, Benjamin, and Jerusalem.

10 O o 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.

They delivered it to the workmen who had oversight of the Lord’s house, who gave it to repair and restore the temple:

11 W axay 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.

To the carpenters and builders to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings and beams for the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

12 O o 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.

The men did the work faithfully. Their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah, Levites of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites. The Levites—all who were skillful with instruments of music—

13 O o 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

Also had oversight of the burden bearers and all who did work in any kind of service; and some of the Levites were scribes, officials, and gatekeepers.

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

When they were bringing 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.

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

Hilkiah told Shaphan the scribe, I have found the Book of the Law in the Lord’s house. And gave the book to Shaphan.

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

Shaphan took the book to King Josiah, but reported to him, All that was committed to your servants they are doing.

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

They have emptied out the money that was found in the house of the Lord and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers and the workmen.

18 O o 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.

Then Shaphan the scribe said to the king, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

19 O o markii boqorkii maqlay erayadii sharciga ayuu dharkiisii jeexjeexay.

When King Josiah had heard the words of the Law, he rent his clothes.

20 M arkaasaa 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,

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

21 W ar 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.

Go, inquire of the Lord for me and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah about the words of the book that is found. For great is the Lord’s wrath 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.

22 M arkaasaa 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.

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

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

And she answered them, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Tell the man who sent you to me,

24 R abbigu 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,

Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place and upon its inhabitants, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah.

25 m axaa 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.

Because they have forsaken Me and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands, therefore My wrath shall be poured out upon this place and shall not be quenched.

26 L aakiinse 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:

But say to King Josiah of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the words which you have heard:

27 Q albigaagu 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.

Because your heart was tender and penitent and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and its inhabitants, and humbled yourself before Me and rent your clothes and wept before Me, I have heard you, says the Lord.

28 H addaba 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.

Behold, 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 evil that I will bring upon this place and its inhabitants. So they brought the king word again.

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

Then King Josiah sent and gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.

30 O o 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.

And went up into the house of the Lord, as did all the men of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests, the Levites, and all the people, great and small; and he read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant that was found in the Lord’s house.

31 M arkaasaa 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.

Then the king stood in his place and made a covenant before the Lord—to walk after the Lord and to keep His commandments, His testimonies, and His statutes with all his heart and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that are written in this book.

32 O o 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.

And he caused all who were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand in confirmation of it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.

33 M arkaasaa 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.

Josiah removed all the abominations from all the territory that belonged to the Israelites, and made all who were in Israel serve the Lord their God. All his days they did not turn from following the Lord, the God of their fathers.
