II Kings 22

E waru nga tau o Hohia i tona kingitanga, a e toru tekau ma tahi nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Ierira, he tamahine na Araia, no Pohokata.

Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath.

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

And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.

Na i te tekau ma waru o nga tau o Kingi Hohia ka unga e te kingi a Hapana tama a Ataria tama a Mehurama, te kaituhituhi, ki te whare o Ihowa; i mea ia,

And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying,

Haere ki a Hirikia ki te tino tohunga, kia huihuia e ia te moni e kawea ana mai ki roto ki te whare o Ihowa, ta nga kaitiaki o te kuwaha i tango ai i te iwi;

Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people:

Ka hoatu ki nga ringa o nga kaimahi o te mahi, o nga kaitohutohu o te whare o Ihowa; a ma ratou e hoatu ki nga kaimahi o te mahi i te whare o Ihowa, hei hanga mo nga wahi pakaru o te whare;

And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD: and let them give it to the doers of the work which is in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house,

Ki nga kamura, ki nga kaihanga, ki nga kaimahi kohatu; a hei hoko i nga rakau, i nga kohatu tarai, hei hanga mo te whare.

Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.

Otiia kihai i uiuia a ratou meatanga i te moni i hoatu nei ki o ratou ringa; he pono hoki ta ratou mahi.

Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.

Na ka mea a Hirikia tino tohunga ki a Hapana kaituhituhi, Kua kitea e ahau te pukapuka o te ture i te whare o Ihowa. Na ka hoatu e Hirikia te pukapuka ki a Hapana, a korerotia ana e ia.

And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.

Na ka haere a Hapana kaituhituhi ki te kingi, whakahokia ana te korero e ia ki te kingi, i mea ia, Kua ringiringihia e au pononga te moni i kitea ki te whare, a hoatu ana ki nga ringa o nga kaimahi i te mahi, o nga kaitohutohu i te whare o Ihowa.

And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD.

Na ka whakaatu a Hapana kaituhituhi ki te kingi, ka mea, Kua homai e Hirikia tohunga he pukapuka ki ahau. Na korerotia ana e Hapana ki te aroaro o te kingi.

And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

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

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

Na ka whakahau te kingi ki te tohunga, ki a Hirikia, ratou ko Ahikama tama a Hapana, ko Akaporo tama a Mikaia, ko Hapana kaituhituhi, ko Ahaia tangata a te kingi, ka mea,

And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying,

Haere, ui atu ki a Ihowa moku, mo tenei iwi, mo Hura katoa hoki, he mea na nga kupu o tenei pukapuka kua kitea nei: he nui hoki te riri o Ihowa kua ngiha nei ki a tatou, no te mea kihai o tatou matua i rongo ki nga kupu o tenei pukapuka, kihai i mahi i nga mea katoa i tuhituhia hei mea ma tatou.

Go ye, enquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.

Heoi haere ana a Hirikia tohunga ratou ko Ahikama, ko Akaporo, ko Hapana, ko Ahaia ki a Hurura, ki te wahine poropiti, wahine a Harumu kaitiaki kakahu, he tama hoki tera na Tikiwa tama a Harahaha: i Hiruharama hoki taua wahine e noho ana, i te w ahi tuarua. Na korero ana ratou ki a ia.

So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her.

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 unga mai ki ahau,

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

Ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei, Nana, ka kawea atu e ahau he kino ki runga ki tenei wahi, ki runga ano i ona tangata, ara nga kupu katoa o te pukapuka i korerotia na e te kingi o Hura;

Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:

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

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 kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.

Otiia me ki atu e koutou ki te kingi o Hura nana nei koutou i unga mai ki te ui ki a Ihowa, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira; Na mo nga kupu i rongo na koe,

But to the king of Judah which sent you to enquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard;

Na te mea he ngawari tou ngakau, a kua whakaiti koe i a koe ki te aroaro o Ihowa, i a koe ka rongo na ki taku i mea ai mo tenei wahi, mo ona tangata hoki, kia meinga ratou hei ururua, hei kanga; a kua haehae i ou kakahu, kua tangi ki toku aroaro; na kua rongo ano hoki ahau i a koe, e ai ta Ihowa.

Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD.

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

Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
