II Chronicles 34

Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.

E waru nga tau o Hohia i tona kingitanga, a e toru tekau ma tahi nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama.

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.

A tika tonu tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa: i haere hoki ia i runga i nga ara o tona tupuna, o Rawiri; kihai hoki i peka ki matau, ki maui.

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 carved images, and the molten images.

I te waru hoki o nga tau o tona kingitanga, i te mea he taitamariki ano ia, ka timata ia te rapu i te Atua o tona tupuna, o Rawiri; a i te tekau ma rua o nga tau ka timata ia te tahi i te poke o Hura, o Hiruharama, ara i nga wahi tiketike, i nga Aherimi, i nga whakapakoko whaowhao, i nga whakapakoko whakarewa.

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

I wahia ano e ratou nga aata a nga Paara i tona aroaro; tapahia ana e ia nga whakapakoko ra i runga ake o aua aata, mongamonga noa i a ia nga Aherimi, nga whakapakoko whaowhao, me nga whakapakoko whakarewa, tukia ana e ia kia puehu, ruia atu ana ki runga ki nga urupa o te hunga i patu whakahere ki a ratou.

And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.

I tahuna ano e ia nga whenua o nga tohunga ki runga ki a ratou aata, a tahia ana e ia te poke o Hura, o Hiruharama.

And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about.

Pera ana ano ia i nga pa o Manahi, o Eparaima, o Himiona, a tae noa ki Napatari, i roto i to ratou ururua, a puta noa, puta noa.

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 throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.

Na ka wahia iho e ia nga aata, a ka tukia nga Aherimi me nga whakapakoko kia puehu, a poto noa i a ia te tapatapahi nga whakapakoko ra puta noa i te whenua o Iharaira: na hoki ana ia ki Hiruharama.

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 recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.

Na i te tekau ma waru o nga tau o tona kingitanga, i te mea ka oti nei te poke o te whenua, o te whare, te tahi, ka unga e ia a Hapana tama a Ataria ratou ko maaheia kawana o te pa, ko te kaiwhakamahara, ko Ioaha tama a Iehoahata, ki te hanga i t e whare o Ihowa, o tona Atua, kia pai.

And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they 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; and they returned to Jerusalem.

Na haere ana ratou ki a Hirikia tohunga nui, a hoatu ana e ratou te moni i kawea ki te whare o te Atua, ta nga Riwaiti, ta nga kaitiaki o nga tatau i kohikohi ai i te ringa o Manahi, o Eparaima, i nga morehu katoa o Iharaira, i a Hura katoa, i a Pineamine, i nga tangata ano o Hiruharama.

And they put it in the hand of the workmen 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 amend the house:

A na ratou i hoatu ki te ringa o nga kaimahi i tohutohu nei i te whare o Ihowa; a hoatu ana e enei ki nga kaimahi i mahi nei i te whare o Ihowa hei hanga i nga pakaru, hei whakapai i te whare.

Even to the artificers and builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

Ara i hoatu e ratou ki nga kamura, ki nga kaihanga, hei hoko i nga kohatu tarai, i nga rakau mo nga hononga, hei whakanoho rakau ano ki nga whare i kore nei i nga kingi o Hura.

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 the Kohathites, to set it forward; and other of the Levites, all that could skill of instruments of musick.

A pono tonu te mahinga a aua tangata i te mahi; na, ko nga kaitohutohu i a ratou, ko Iahata, ko Oparia, he Riwaiti, no nga tama a Merari; ko Hakaraia, ko Mehurama, no nga tama a nga Kohati, hei whakahohoro; me etahi atu ano o nga Riwaiti katoa i mohio ki nga mea whakatangi.

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.

Ko ratou ano hei rangatira mo nga kaipikau, hei kaitirotiro ano mo te hunga katoa e mahi ana i tenei mahi ranei, i tera mahi ranei; ko etahi ano o nga Riwaiti hei karaipi, hei kaitohutohu, hei kaitiaki kuwaha.

And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found a book of the law of the LORD given by Moses.

Na, i ta ratou maunga atu i te moni i kawea nei ki te whare o Ihowa, ka kitea e te tohunga, e Hirikia te pukapuka o te ture a Ihowa i homai nei e Mohi.

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.

Na ka oho a Hirikia, ka mea ki a Hapana karaipi, Kua kitea e ahau te pukapuka o te ture i roto i te whare o Ihowa. A homai ana te pukapuka e Hirikia ki a Hapana.

And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they do it.

A na Hapana i kawe te pukapuka ki te kingi. I whakahokia ano e ia te korero ki te kingi; i mea ia, ko nga mea katoa i homai ki te ringa o au pononga, e meatia ana e ratou.

And they have gathered together the money that was found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and to the hand of the workmen.

Kua ringihia hoki e ratou te moni i kitea i roto i te whare o Ihowa, a hoatu ana ki te ringa ano o nga kaimahi.

Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

Na ka korero a Hapana karaipi ki te kingi ka mea, Kua homai he pukapuka ki ahau e Hirikia tohunga. A korerotia ana e Hapana i te aroaro o te kingi.

And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.

A, no te rongonga o te kingi i nga kupu o te ture, haea ana e ia ona kakahu.

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

Na ka whakahau te kingi ki a Hirikia, ki a Ahikama tama a Hapana, ki a Aparono tama a Mika, ki a Hapana karaipi, ki a Ahaia tangata a te kingi, ka mea,

Go, enquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in 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 after all that is written in this book.

Haere, ui atu ki a Ihowa moku, mo nga morehu ano o Iharaira, o Hura, ara i te tikanga o nga kupu o te pukapuka kua kitea nei: he nui hoki te riri o Ihowa kua ringihia nei ki a tatou, no te mea kihai o tatou matua i pupuri i te kupu a Ihowa, kiha i i mahi i nga mea katoa i tuhituhia ki tenei pukapuka.

And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, 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 college:) and they spake to her to that effect.

Heoi haere ana a Hirikia ratou ko a te kingi i whakarite ai, ki a Hurura ki te wahine poropiti, he wahine ia na Harumu, tama a Tokohata, tama a Haharaha, kaitiaki kakahu; i Hiruharama hoki taua wahine e noho ana, i te wahi tuarua. Na korerotia a na enei mea e ratou ki a ia.

And she answered them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me,

Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ko te korero tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Mea atu ki te tangata nana koutou i tono mai ki ahau,

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

Ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei, Tenei ahau te kawe nei i te kino mo tenei wahi, mo nga tangata ano o konei, ara nga kanga katoa kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka i korerotia ra i te aroaro o te kingi o Hura;

Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto 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.

Mo ratou i whakarere i ahau, i tahu whakakakara hoki ki nga atua ke, hei whakapataritari i ahau ki nga mahi katoa a o ratou ringa; koia toku riri ka ringihia ai ki tenei wahi; e kore ano e tineia.

And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the LORD, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard;

Otiia kia penei ta koutou ki atu ki te kingi o Hura, nana nei koutou i tono mai ki te ui ki a Ihowa, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Na, nga kupu i rongo na koe,

Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the LORD.

Na, i te mea i ngawari tou ngakau, a kua whakaiti koe i a koe i te aroaro o te Atua, i tou rongonga ki ana kupu mo tenei wahi, mo ona tangata ano, a kua whakaiti koe i a koe ki toku aroaro, kua haehae i ou kakahu, a kua tangi ki toku aroaro; kua rongo ahau, e ai ta Ihowa,

Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine 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.

Nana, ka huihuia atu koe e ahau ki ou matua ka huihuia atu koe ki tou tanumanga i runga i te rangimarie; e kore ano ou kanohi e kite i nga kino katoa e kawea mai e ahau ki tenei wahi, ki nga tangata ano o konei. Na whakahokia ana e ratou te kore ro ki te kingi.

Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.

Katahi te kingi ka tono tangata, a huihuia ana e ia nga kaumatua katoa o Hura, o Hiruharama.

And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and 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.

Na haere ana te kingi ki te whare o Ihowa, ratou ko nga tangata katoa o Hura, ko nga tangata o Hiruharama, ko nga tohunga, ko nga Riwaiti, ko te iwi katoa, te rahi, te iti. Na ka korerotia e ia ki o ratou taringa nga kupu katoa o te pukapuka o t e kawenata i kitea nei ki te whare o Ihowa.

And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are written in this book.

Na tu ana te kingi ki tona turanga, a whakaritea ana e ia he kawenata ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ara kia whakapaua tona ngakau, tona wairua ki te whai ki a Ihowa, ki te pupuri i ana whakahau, i ana whakaaturanga, i ana tikanga, ki te whakamana ano i nga kupu o te kawenata kua tuhituhia nei ki tenei pukapuka.

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.

Na meinga ana e ia te hunga katoa i kitea ki Hiruharama, ki Pineamine, kia tu ki tana. Na mahi ana nga tangata o Hiruharama i nga mea o te kawenata a te Atua, a te Atua o o ratou matua.

And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. And all his days they departed not from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.

I whakakahoretia ano e Hohia nga mea whakarihariha katoa o nga whenua katoa i nga tama a Iharaira; a whakamahia ana e ia nga tangata katoa i kitea ki a Iharaira, kia mahi ki a Ihowa, ki to ratou Atua. I ona ra katoa kihai i mahue i a ratou te wh ai i a Ihowa, i te Atua o o ratou matua.
