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 to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years.

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.

And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD and walked in the ways of David, his father, and declined 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 the God of David, his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places and the groves and the graven images and the 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.

And they broke down the altars of the Baalim in his presence; and the images of the sun, that were on high above them, he cut down; and the groves and the graven images and the molten images, he broke in pieces and made dust of them and scattered it upon the graves of those that had sacrificed unto them.

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

And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars and 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.

He did the same in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their swords 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.

And when he had broken down the altars and the groves and had beaten the graven images into powder and cut down all the idols of the sun throughout all the land of Israel, 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.

¶ Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah, the son of Joahaz, the writer of chronicles, 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.

And they went to Hilkiah, the high priest, and delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim and of all the remnant of Israel and of all Judah and Benjamin, having then returned to 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.

And they put it in the hand of those that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD, and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house of the LORD, to repair and restore the house.

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.

They also gave to the craftsmen and builders, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and for the woodwork of 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.

And the men did the work faithfully, and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of Kohath, to set it forward; and others of the Levites, all those with understanding in 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 they were over the bearers of burdens and were overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service; and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.

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

¶ And when they brought out the money that had been brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah, the priest, found the book of the law of the LORD given by the hand of 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.

And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan, the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah delivered 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.

And Shaphan carried the book to the king and brought the king word back again, saying, Thy slaves have fulfilled all that was committed unto them to do.

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.

And they have gathered together the money that was found in the house of the LORD and have delivered it into the hand of those who were commissioned and to the hand of 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, told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest, has given me a book. And Shaphan read in it before the king.

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

And when the king 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 and Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Abdon, the son of Micah, and Shaphan, the scribe, and Asaiah, a slave of the king’s, 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, enquire of the LORD for me and for the remnant of Israel and of Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found, for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do according to all the things that are 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.

Then Hilkiah and those of the king went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the house of doctrine); and 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, The LORD God of Israel hath said thus, Tell the man that 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,

that thus hath the LORD said, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place and upon its inhabitants 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 sacrificed unto other gods, provoking 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 as for the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the LORD, so shall ye say unto him, Thus hath the LORD God of Israel said, Because thou hast heard the words of the book,

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.

and thy heart became tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, hearing his words against this place and against its inhabitants and didst humble thyself before me and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me, I also have heard thee, saith 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 thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace; neither shall thy eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place and upon the inhabitants of the same. 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 the king sent and gathered together 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 the king went up into the house of the LORD, and with him all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the priests and the Levites and all the people, great and small; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the LORD.

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.

And the king stood in his place and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and that they would keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and with all their soul to perform the words of the covenant which 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 that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to 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.

And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the lands that pertained to the sons of Israel and made all that were present in Israel serve the LORD their God only. And all his days they did not depart from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
