2 Mpanjaka 22

1 Valo taona Josia, fony vao nanjaka, ary iraika amby telo-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Jedida, zanakavavin’ i Adaia, avy any Bozkata.

Josiah was eight years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for thirty-one years; his mother's name was Jedidah, daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.

2 Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah kosa izy ka nandeha tamin’ izay rehetra nalehan’ i Davida rainy, fa tsy mba nivily, na ho amin’ ny ankavanana, na ho amin’ ny ankavia.

He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, walking in the ways of David his father, without turning to the right hand or to the left.

3 Ary tamin’ ny taona fahavalo ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Josia mpanjaka, dia naniraka an’ i Safana mpanoratra, zanak’ i Azalia, zanak’ i Mesolama, izy ho any an-tranon’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe:

Now in the eighteenth year after he became king, Josiah sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the Lord, saying to him,

4 Miakara any amin’ i Hilkia mpisoronabe, hanisany ny vola izay nampidirina ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, dia izay nangonin’ ny mpiandry varavarana tamin’ ny olona;

Go up to Hilkiah, the chief priest, and let him give out the money which is taken into the house of the Lord, which the keepers of the door have got together from the people;

5 ary aoka hatolony ho eo an-tànan’ ny mpanao raharaha izay voatendry ny amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izany; ary aoka homen’ ireo ho an’ ny mpiasa izay ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah hanamboarany ny simba amin’ ny trano,

And let it be given to the overseers of the work of the Lord's house, to give to the workmen who are making good what was damaged in the house of the Lord;

6 dia ho an’ ny mpandrafitra sy ny mpandatsa-bato ary ny mpipaika, dia hividianana hazo sy vato voapaika hanamboarana ny trano.

To the woodworkers and the builders and the stone-cutters; and for getting wood and cut stones for the building up of the house.

7 Kanefa tsy nampamoahina ny amin’ ny vola natolotra teo an-tànany ireo, fa nahatoky izy.

They did not have to give any account of the money which was handed to them, for they made use of it with good faith.

8 Dia hoy Hilkia mpisoronabe tamin’ i Safana mpanoratra: Ny bokin’ ny lalàna dia hitako tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah. Dia natolotr’ i Hilkia an’ i Safana ny boky ka novakiny.

Then Hilkiah, the chief priest, said to Shaphan the scribe, I have made discovery of the book of the law in the house of the Lord. So Hilkiah gave it to Shaphan;

9 Ary Safana mpanoratra niverina ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka nitondra valiny nanao hoe: Ny mpanomponao dia efa nandrotsaka ny vola izay azo tao an-trano ka nanolotra azy teo an-tànan’ ny mpanao raharaha izay voatendry ny amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.

Then, after reading it, Shaphan the scribe went in to the king and gave him an account of what had been done, saying, Your servants have given out the money which was in the house, and have given it to the overseers of the work of the house of the Lord.

10 Ary Safana mpanoratra nilaza koa tamin’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Misy boky nomen’ i Hilkia mpisorona ahy. Dia novakin’ i Safana teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka ny boky.

Then Shaphan the scribe said to the king, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book; and he was reading it before the king.

11 Ary rehefa ren’ ny mpanjaka ny teny tao amin’ ilay bokin’ ny lalàna, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy.

And the king, hearing the words of the book of the law, took his robe in his hands, violently parting it as a sign of his grief;

12 Ary ny mpanjaka nandidy an’ i Hilkia mpisorona sy Ahikama, zanak’ i Safana, sy Akbora, zanak’ i Mikaia, sy Safana mpanoratra ary Asaia, mpanompon’ andriana, hoe:

And he gave orders to Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Achbor, the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying,

13 Mandehana ianareo, ka manontania amin’ i Jehovah ho ahy sy ny vahoaka mbamin’ ny Joda rehetra ny amin’ ny tenin’ ity boky vao hita ity, fa mafy ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah izay mirehitra amintsika noho ny tsy nihainoan’ ny razantsika ny tenin’ ity boky ity hanao araka izay rehetra voasoratra ho antsika.

Go and get directions from the Lord for me and for the people and for all Judah, about the words of this book which has come to light; for great is the wrath of the Lord which is burning against us, because our fathers have not given ear to the words of this book, to do all the things which are recorded in it.

14 Dia nandeha Hilkia mpisorona sy Ahikama sy Akbora sy Safana ary Asaia ka nankany amin’ i Holda mpaminanivavy, vadin’ i Saloma, zanak’ i Tikva, zanak’ i Harasa, mpitahiry ny fitafiana (fa nitoetra tao amin’ ny tanàna ambany tany Jerosalema ravehivavy); dia niresaka taminy izy ireo.

So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam and Achbor and Shaphan and Asaiah, went to Huldah the woman prophet, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the robes, (now she was living in Jerusalem, in the second part of the town; ) and they had talk with her.

15 Ary hoy ravehivavy taminy Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Lazao amin’ ny lehilahy izay naniraka anareo ho atỳ amiko hoe:

And she said to them, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, Say to the man who sent you to me,

16 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, Izaho hahatonga loza amin’ ity tanàna ity sy amin’ ny mponina eto, dia araka izay rehetra lazain’ ny boky novakin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda.

These are the words of the Lord: See, I will send evil on this place and on its people, even everything which the king of Judah has been reading in the book;

17 Satria nahafoy Ahy izy ary nandoro ditin-kazo manitra tamin’ izay andriamani-kafa ka nampahatezitra Ahy amin’ izay rehetra nataon’ ny tànany, dia mirehitra amin’ ity tanàna ity ny fahatezerako ka tsy hosakanana.

Because they have given me up, burning offerings to other gods and moving me to wrath by all the work of their hands; so my wrath will be on fire against this place, and will not be put out.

18 Fa ny amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda izay naniraka anareo hanontany amin’ i Jehovah kosa anefa, dia ambarao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Ny amin’ ny teny izay novakinao,

But to the king of Judah who sent you to get directions from the Lord, say, This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said: As to the words which have come to your ears,

19 satria nino anatra ianao ka nanetry tena teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, raha nandre izay nolazaiko ny amin’ izay hanjo ity tanàna ity sy ny mponina eto dia ny handravana azy sy ny hahatongavany ho fanozonana ka nandriatra ny fitafianao sady nitomany teo anatrehako ianao, dia Izaho kosa efa nihaino, hoy Jehovah.

Because your heart was soft, and you made yourself low before me, when you had word of what I said against this place and its people, that they would become a waste and a curse, and you gave signs of grief, weeping before me: truly, I have given ear to you, says the Lord.

20 Koa, indro, hangoniko any amin’ ny razanao ianao ary hangonina any amin’ ny fasanao amin’ ny fiadanana; ary ny masonao tsy mba hahita izay loza rehetra ho entiko mamaly ity tanàna ity. Dia nitondra valiny ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka izy ireo.

For this cause I will let you go to your fathers and be put in your last resting-place in peace, and your eyes will not see all the evil which I will send on this place. So they took this news back to the king.
