II Kings 23

And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
Na ka unga tangata atu te kingi, a huihuia ana e ratou nga kaumatua katoa o Hura, o Hiruharama, ki a ia.
And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.
Na ka haere te kingi ki te whare o Ihowa, ratou ko nga tangata katoa o Hura, ko nga tangata katoa o Hiruharama, ko nga tohunga, ko nga poropiti, ko te iwi katoa hoki, te iti, te rahi. A korerotia ana e ia ki o ratou taringa nga kupu katoa o te pu kapuka o te kawenata i kitea nei ki te whare o Ihowa.
And the king stood by a pillar, 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 their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
Na tu ana te kingi ki te taha o te pou, 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 ho ki i nga kupu o tenei kawenata kua tuhituhia nei ki tenei pukapuka; a tu tonu te iwi katoa ki te kawenata.
And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth–el.
Na ka whakahau te kingi ki te tino tohunga, ki a Hirikia, ki nga tohunga tuarua, ki nga kaitiaki kuwaha, kia whakaputaina ki waho o te temepara o Ihowa nga oko katoa i hanga ma Paara, mo te Ahera, ma te ope katoa ano hoki o te rangi. Na tahuna an a e ia aua mea ki waho o Hiruharama, ki nga mara i Kitirono, kawea ana nga pungarehu ki Peteere.
And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
I whakakahoretia hoki e ia nga tohunga whakapakoko i whakaritea ra e nga kingi o Hura hei tahu whakakakara ki nga wahi tiketike i nga pa o Hura, a ki nga taha o Hiruharama, ratou ko nga kaitahu whakakakara ki a Paara, ki te ra, ki te marama, ki n ga whetu, ki te ope katoa hoki o te rangi.
And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people.
I mauria ano e ia te Ahera i roto i te whare o Ihowa ki waho o Hiruharama, ki te awa ki Kitirono, a tahuna ana ki te awa ki Kitirono, a tukia ana kia ririki, ano he puehu, maka ana te puehu o taua mea ki runga ki nga tanumanga o te iwi nui.
And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove.
I tukitukia ano e ia nga whare o te hunga whakahoroma i te taha o te whare o Ihowa, i te wahi i whatu ai nga wahine i nga pa mo te Ahera.
And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beer–sheba, and brake down the high places of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.
A i whakaputaina e ia nga tohunga katoa i nga pa o Hura, whakapokea iho nga wahi tiketike i tahu whakakakara ai nga tohunga, o Kepa a tae noa ki Peerehepa; a i wahia e ia nga wahi tiketike o nga keti, era i te kuwaha o te keti o Hohua kawana o te pa, i te taha maui o te tangata i te keti o te pa.
Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat of the unleavened bread among their brethren.
Otiia kihai nga tohunga o nga wahi tiketike i haere ki te aata a Ihowa i Hiruharama; engari i kai ratou i te taro rewenakore i roto i o ratou teina.
And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
A i whakapokea e ia a Topete, tera i te raorao o nga tama a Hinomo, kei mea tetahi tangata kia tika tana tama, tana tamahine ranei, na waenganui i te ahi hei mea ki a Moreke.
And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathan–melech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
I whakawateatia atu ano e ia nga hoiho i homai e nga kingi o Hura hei mea ki te ra, i te tomokanga o te whare o Ihowa, i te ruma o Natanamereke, o te kaitiaki ruma, i reira i waho ake; tahuna ana hoki e ia nga hariata o te ra ki te ahi.
And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
Na, ko nga aata i te tuanui o te ruma o runga, o Ahata, i hanga ra e nga kingi o Hura, me nga aata i hanga e Manahi ki nga marae e rua e te whare o Ihowa, i tukitukia e te kingi, wahia iho i reira, maka ana te puehu o aua mea ki te awa ki Kitiro no.
And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
A, ko nga wahi tiketike, ko era i te ritenga atu o Hiruharama i te taha matau o te maunga o te whakangaromanga, i hanga nei e Horomona kingi o Iharaira ma Ahatorete, ma te mea whakarihariha a nga Haironi, ma Kemoho, ma te mea whakarihariha a nga Moapi, ma Mirikomo, ma te mea whakarihariha a nga tama a Amono, whakapokea iho era e te kingi.
And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
I wawahia hoki e ia nga pou, i tapahia ki raro nga Aherimi, a whakakiia ana o ratou wahi ki nga whenua tangata.
Moreover the altar that was at Beth–el, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove.
Ko te aata hoki i Peteere, ko te wahi tiketike i hanga nei e Ieropoama tama a Nepata i hara ai a Iharaira, wahia iho ana e ia taua aata me te wahi tiketike; a tahuna ana e ia te wahi tiketike, tukia ana kia ririki, ano he puehu, a tahuna ana e i a te Ahera.
And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.
A, i a Hohia e tahuri ana, ka kite ia i nga tanumanga i reira, i te maunga; na ka tonoa e ia he tangata ki te tiki i nga whenua i roto i nga tanumanga, na tahuna ana e ia ki runga ki te aata, whakapokea iho e ia, hei whakarite mo te kupu a Ihowa i korerotia e te tangata a te Atua, i korero nei i enei kupu.
Then he said, What title is that that I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Beth–el.
Katahi ia ka mea, He aha tena tohu e kite atu nei ahau? Na ka mea nga tangata o te pa ki a ia, Ko te tanumanga ia o te tangata a te Atua i haere mai i Hura, a korerotia ana e ia enei mea kua meatia nei e koe ki te aata i Peteere.
And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
Na ka mea ia, Waiho marie ia; kei whakakorikoria ona wheua e tetahi. Na kapea ake ana e ratou ona whenua me nga wheua o te poropiti i haere mai i Hamaria.
And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Beth–el.
Na, ko nga whare katoa o nga wahi tiketike, ko era i nga pa o Hamaria, i hanga nei e nga kingi o Iharaira hei whakapataritari i a Ihowa, whakakahoretia ana e Hohia; rite tonu tana i mea ai ki aua whare ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ia ki Peteere.
And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there upon the altars, and burned men's bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.
I patua ano hoki e ia nga tohunga katoa o nga wahi tiketike o reira ki runga ki nga aata, tahuna ana hoki nga wheua tangata ki runga ki aua aata, a hoki ana ki Hiruharama.
And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
Na ka whakahau te kingi ki te iwi katoa, ka mea, Mahia te kapenga hei mea ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua; kia rite ki te mea i tuhituhia ki tenei pukapuka o te kawenata.
Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
He pono kahore he rite mo tena mahinga i te kapenga, mai o nga ra i nga kaiwhakawa i whakarite mo Iharaira, o nga ra katoa i nga kingi o Iharaira, i nga kingi ano o Hura;
But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this passover was holden to the LORD in Jerusalem.
Engari to te tekau ma waru o nga tau o Kingi Hohia, ara tenei kapenga i mahia nei ki a Ihowa ki Hiruharama.
Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.
Na ko te hunga i whai ki nga atua maori, ki nga mata maori, ki nga terapimi, ki nga whakapakoko, ki nga mea whakarihariha katoa i kitea ki te whenua o Hura, ki Hiruharama, whakakahoretia iho e Hohia, kia mana ai i a ia nga kupu o te ture i tuhit uhia ki te pukapuka i kitea e Hirikia tohunga ki te whare o Ihowa.
And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
Na kahore he kingi i mua atu i a ia hei rite mona te whakapau o tona ngakau, o tona wairua, o tona kaha, ki te tahuri ki a Ihowa, rite tonu ki te ture katoa a Mohi; kahore hoki kia whakatika tetahi rite mona i muri i a ia.
Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal.
He ahakoa ra, kihai a Ihowa i tahuri ke i te muranga o tona riri nui i mura ai tona riri ki a Hura, mo nga whakapataritaringa katoa i whakapataritari ai a Manahi i a ia.
And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.
Na ka mea a Ihowa, Ka whakawateatia atu e ahau a Hura hoki i toku aroaro, ka peratia me taku whakawateatanga i a Iharaira, a ka rukea atu e ahau tenei pa i whiriwhiria nei e ahau, a Hiruharama, me te whare i ki ra ahau, Me waiho toku ingoa ki ko nei.
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Na, ko era atu meatanga a Hohia me ana mahi katoa, kihai ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
In his days Pharaoh–nechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
I ona ra ka haere a Parao Neko kingi o Ihipa ki te kingi o Ahiria ki te awa ki Uparati: na haere ana a Kingi Hohia ki te tu ki a ia; a whakamatea iho ia e tera ki Mekiro, i tona kitenga i a ia.
And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead.
Na ka mauria atu e ana tangata tona tinana i Mekiro i runga i te hariata, a kawea ana ki Hiruharama, tanumia iho ki tona tanumanga. Na ka mau te iwi o tera whenua ki a Iehoahata tama a Hohia, a whakawahia ana ia, meinga ana hei kingi i muri i to na papa.
Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
E rua tekau ma toru nga tau o Iehoahata i tona kingitanga; a e toru nga marama i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Hamutara, he tamahine na Heremaia o Ripina.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa; rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ona matua.
And Pharaoh–nechoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
Na herea ana ia e Parao Neko ki Ripira, ki te whenua o Hamata, kia kaua ia e kingi ki Hiruharama; a whakaritea ana e ia he takoha ki te whenua, kotahi rau taranata hiriwa, kotahi taranata koura.
And Pharaoh–nechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died there.
Na ka meatia e Parao Neko a Eriakimi tama a Hohia hei kingi i muri i tona papa, i a Hohia: whakawhitia ketia ake e ia tona ingoa ko Iehoiakimi; ko Iehoahata ia tangohia ana e ia, kawea ana ki Ihipa, a i mate atu ki reira.
And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaoh–nechoh.
Na ka hoatu e Iehoiakimi ki a Parao te hiriwa me te koura; otiia i takohatia e ia te whenua kia hoatu ai te moni i kiia nei e Parao. Tohea ana e ia te hiriwa me te koura ki te iwi o te whenua, te takoha a tenei, a tenei, hei hoatu mana ki a Para o Neko.
Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
E rua tekau ma rima nga tau o Iehoiakimi i tona kingitanga; a kotahi tekau ma tahi nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Tepura, he tamahine na Peraia o Ruma.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ona matua.
