¹And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.

¹Siis kuningas läkitas käsu ja kõik Juuda ja Jeruusalemma vanemad koguti tema juurde.

²And the king went up to the house of Jehovah, 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 Jehovah.

²Ja kuningas läks Issanda kotta ja koos temaga kõik Juuda mehed ja kõik Jeruusalemma elanikud, preestrid ja prohvetid ja kogu rahvas, niihästi väikesed kui suured, ja ta luges nende kuuldes kõik Issanda kojast leitud Seaduse raamatu sõnad.

³And the king stood by the pillar, and made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all [his] heart, and all [his] soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book: and all the people stood to the covenant.

³Ja kuningas seisis samba juures ja tegi Issanda ees lepingu, et nad käivad Issanda järel ja peavad tema käske, manitsusi ja määrusi kõigest südamest ja kõigest hingest, et täita selle Seaduse sõnu, mis sellesse raamatusse olid kirjutatud; ja kogu rahvas astus lepingusse.

⁴And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring forth out of the temple of Jehovah all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of heaven, and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el.

⁴Siis käskis kuningas ülempreester Hilkijat ning alamaid preestreid ja lävehoidjaid, et nad viiksid Issanda templist välja kõik asjad, mis olid tehtud Baalile ja Aðerale ja kõigile taevavägedele; ja ta põletas need väljaspool Jeruusalemma Kidroni väljadel ning viis nende tuha Peetelisse.

⁵And 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.

⁵Ja ta kõrvaldas ebajumalapreestrid, keda Juuda kuningad olid seadnud suitsutama ohvriküngastel Juuda linnades ja Jeruusalemma ümbruses; ka need, kes suitsutasid Baalile, päikesele, kuule, tähtedele ja kõigile taevavägedele.

⁶And he brought out the Asherah from the house of Jehovah, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast the dust thereof upon the graves of the common people.

⁶Ja ta viis Issanda kojast välja viljakustulba, väljapoole Jeruusalemma Kidroni orgu, ja põletas selle Kidroni orus, pihustas põrmuks ja viskas põrmu lihtrahva haudade peale.

⁷And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were in the house of Jehovah, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah.

⁷Ja ta kiskus maha pordumeeste kojad, mis olid Issanda koja juures, kus naised kudusid telke Aðerale.

⁸And 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 he brake down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.

⁸Ja ta laskis Juuda linnadest tulla kõik preestrid ning rüvetas ohvrikünkad, kus preestrid olid suitsutanud, Gebast kuni Beer-Sebani; ta kiskus maha ohvrikünkad väravate juurest, mis olid linnapealik Joosua värava suus vasakul pool, kui sisse minna linna väravast.

⁹Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of Jehovah in Jerusalem, but they did eat unleavened bread among their brethren.

⁹Ohvriküngaste preestrid aga ei tohtinud Jeruusalemmas minna Issanda altari juurde, vaid nad sõid hapnemata leiba oma vendade keskel.

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰Ta rüvetas põletuspaiga Ben-Hinnomi orus, et ükski ei saaks lasta oma poega või tütart tulest läbi käia Moolokile.

¹¹And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of Jehovah, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the precincts; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

¹¹Ta kõrvaldas need hobused, kelle Juuda kuningad olid pühendanud päikesele, Issanda koja sissekäigu kõrvalt, ülemteener Netan-Meleki kambri juurest, mis oli Parvarimis; ja ta põletas tules päikesevankri.

¹²And the altars that were on the roof 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 Jehovah, did the king break down, and beat [them] down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.

¹²Altarid, mis Juuda kuningad olid teinud ning mis olid Aahase ülaruumi katusel, ja altarid, mis Manasse oli teinud Issanda koja kumbagi õue, kiskus kuningas maha, lõhkus sealt ja viskas nende rusud Kidroni orgu.

¹³And 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 Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.

¹³Ja kuningas rüvetas need ohvrikünkad, mis olid ida pool Jeruusalemma, lõuna pool Hävitusemäge, mis Iisraeli kuningas Saalomon oli ehitanud Astartele, siidonlaste jäledusele, ja Kemosele, moabide jäledusele, ja Milkomile, ammonlaste vastikule ebajumalale.

¹⁴And he brake in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men.

¹⁴Ta purustas sambad ja raius maha viljakustulbad ning täitis nende asemed inimluudega.

¹⁵Moreover the altar that was at Beth-el, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he brake down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.

¹⁵Samuti altari, mis oli Peetelis, ohvrikünka, mille oli teinud Nebati poeg Jerobeam, kes saatis Iisraeli pattu tegema - ka selle altari ja ohvrikünka kiskus ta maha; ta põletas ohvrikünka, pihustades selle põrmuks, ja põletas ka viljakustulba.

¹⁶And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount; and he sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of Jehovah which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.

¹⁶Kui Joosija pöördus ja nägi haudu, mis olid seal mäe peal, siis ta läkitas mehi ja laskis võtta luud haudadest ning põletas need altaril, rüvetades seda Issanda sõna kohaselt, nagu oli kuulutanud jumalamees, kes need sõnad hüüdis.

¹⁷Then he said, What monument is that which I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Beth-el.

¹⁷Ja ta küsis: 'Mis märgikivi see on seal, mida ma näen?' Ja linna mehed vastasid temale: 'See on selle jumalamehe haud, kes tuli Juudast ja kuulutas neid asju, mis sa nüüd tegid altariga Peetelis.'

¹⁸And he said, Let him be; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.

¹⁸Siis ta ütles: 'Laske ta puhkab, keegi ärgu liigutagu tema luid!' Nõnda päästsid nad tema luud ja prohveti luud, kes oli tulnud Samaariast.

¹⁹And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke [Jehovah] to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Beth-el.

¹⁹Ja Joosija kõrvaldas ka Samaaria linnades kõik ohvriküngaste kojad, mis Iisraeli kuningad olid teinud Issanda vihastamiseks, ja ta talitas nendega täiesti samal viisil, nagu ta oli teinud Peetelis.

²⁰And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there, upon the altars, and burned men's bones upon them; and he returned to Jerusalem.

²⁰Ta tappis altarite peal kõik seal olevad ohvriküngaste preestrid ja põletas nende peal inimluid. Seejärel läks ta tagasi Jeruusalemma.

²¹And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto Jehovah your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.

²¹Ja kuningas andis käsu kogu rahvale, öeldes: 'Pidage paasapüha Issanda, oma Jumala auks, nõnda nagu on kirjutatud selles seaduseraamatus!'

²²Surely there was not kept 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;

²²Sest niisugust paasapüha ei olnud peetud alates neist päevist, kui Iisraelile mõistsid kohut kohtumõistjad, ega kõigil Iisraeli kuningate ja Juuda kuningate päevil.

²³but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this passover kept to Jehovah in Jerusalem.

²³Alles kuningas Joosija kaheksateistkümnendal aastal peeti seda paasapüha Issanda auks Jeruusalemmas.

²⁴Moreover them that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of Jehovah.

²⁴Ja Joosija pühkis ära ka vaimudemanajad ja ennustajad, teeravid ja ebajumalad ja kõik jäledused, mida nähti Juudamaal ja Jeruusalemmas, et täide viia Seaduse sõnu, mis olid kirjutatud raamatus, mille preester Hilkija leidis Issanda kojast.

²⁵And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to Jehovah 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.

²⁵Enne teda ei olnud tema sarnast kuningat, kes oleks nõnda pöördunud Issanda poole kõigest oma südamest ja kõigest oma hingest ja kõigest oma väest täiesti Moosese Seaduse kohaselt; ja pärast teda ei ole tõusnud tema sarnast.

²⁶Notwithstanding, Jehovah turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations wherewith Manasseh had provoked him.

²⁶Ometi ei pöördunud Issand oma suurest tulisest vihast, kui viha kord oli süttinud põlema Juuda vastu kõige selle vihastusväärse pärast, millega Manasse teda oli vihastanud.

²⁷And Jehovah said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.

²⁷Ja Issand ütles: 'Ma kõrvaldan ka Juuda oma palge eest, nõnda nagu ma kõrvaldasin Iisraeli, ja ma hülgan Jeruusalemma, selle linna, mille ma olen ära valinud, ja koja, mille kohta ma olen öelnud: 'Seal olgu minu nimi!''

²⁸Now 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?

²⁸Ja mis veel tuleks öelda Joosijast ja kõigest, mis ta tegi, eks sellest ole kirjutatud Juuda kuningate Ajaraamatus?

²⁹In his days Pharaoh-necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and [Pharaoh-necoh] slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.

²⁹Tema päevil läks vaarao Neko, Egiptuse kuningas, Assuri kuninga vastu Frati jõe äärde; ja kuningas Joosija läks temale vastu, aga vaarao surmas tema Megiddos, kui ta teda nägi.

³⁰And 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.

³⁰Ja Joosija sulased viisid tema surnuna vankris Megiddost ära, tõid Jeruusalemma ning matsid ta tema oma hauda. Ja maa rahvas võttis Jooahase, Joosija poja ja võidis teda ning tõstis ta kuningaks tema isa asemel.

³¹Jehoahaz 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.

³¹Jooahas oli kuningaks saades kakskümmend kolm aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas kolm kuud; ta ema nimi oli Hamutal, Jeremija tütar Libnast.

³²And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.

³²Tema tegi kurja Issanda silmis, kõigiti nõnda, nagu ta vanemad olid teinud.

³³And Pharaoh-necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.

³³Ja vaarao Neko vangistas tema Riblas, Hamatimaal, et ta ei valitseks enam Jeruusalemmas, ja määras maale maksukohustuse: sada talenti hõbedat ja talent kulda.

³⁴And Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim: but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and died there.

³⁴Ja vaarao Neko tõstis kuningaks Eljakimi, Joosija poja, tema isa Joosija asemel, ja muutis tema nime Joojakimiks; aga Jooahase ta võttis kaasa ja too tuli Egiptusesse ning suri seal.

³⁵And 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-necoh.

³⁵Joojakim andis vaaraole hõbeda ja kulla; aga ta pidi maa maksustama, et anda vaaraole raha ta käsu kohaselt: ta nõudis maa rahvalt, igaühelt vastavalt ta maksustamisele, hõbedat ja kulda vaarao Nekole andmiseks.

³⁶Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.

³⁶Joojakim oli kuningaks saades kakskümmend viis aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas üksteist aastat; ta ema nimi oli Sebidda, Pedaja tütar Ruumast.

³⁷And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.

³⁷Tema tegi kurja Issanda silmis, kõigiti nõnda, nagu ta vanemad olid teinud.
