¹Joosija oli kuningaks saades kaheksa aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas kolmkümmend üks aastat.

¹Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.

²Tema tegi, mis õige oli Issanda silmis, ja käis oma isa Taaveti teedel ega kaldunud paremale või vasakule.

²He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and walked in the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

³Oma valitsemise kaheksandal aastal, kuigi ta oli alles noor, hakkas ta otsima oma isa Taaveti Jumalat; ja kaheteistkümnendal aastal hakkas ta puhastama Juudat ja Jeruusalemma ohvriküngastest, viljakustulpadest ning nikerdatud ja valatud kujudest.

³For 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 Asherim, and the engraved images, and the molten images.

⁴Tema juuresolekul kisti maha baalide altarid; ta lõi katki suitsutusaltarid, mis olid ülal nende peal, purustas viljakustulbad ning nikerdatud ja valatud kujud, pihustas ja puistas need nende haudade peale, kes neile olid ohverdanud.

⁴They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; and the incense altars that were on high above them he cut down; and the Asherim, and the engraved images, and the molten images, he broke in pieces, and made dust of them, and strewed it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.

⁵Ja ta põletas preestrite luud nende altarite peal; nõnda ta puhastas Juuda ja Jeruusalemma.

⁵He burnt the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.

⁶Ka Manasse, Efraimi ja Siimeoni linnades kuni Naftalini, kõikjal nende varemeil,

⁶He did this in the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even to Naphtali, around in their ruins.

⁷kiskus ta maha altarid, lõi pihuks ja põrmuks viljakustulbad ja nikerdatud kujud ning raius katki suitsutusaltarid kogu Iisraelimaal. Siis ta läks tagasi Jeruusalemma.

⁷He broke down the altars, and beat the Asherim and the engraved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem.

⁸Ja oma valitsemise kaheksateistkümnendal aastal, kui ta maa ja koja oli puhastanud, läkitas ta Saafani, Asalja poja, ja linnapealiku Maaseja ja usaldusmehe Joahi, Jooahase poja, kohendama Issanda, oma Jumala koda.

⁸Now 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 Yahweh his God.

⁹Ja need tulid ülempreester Hilkija juurde ja andsid üle raha, mis oli toodud Jumala kotta, mida leviidid, lävehoidjad, olid kogunud Manassest, Efraimist ja kogu ülejäänud Iisraelist ja kogu Juudast ja Benjaminist ja Jeruusalemma elanikelt.

⁹They came to Hilkiah the high priest, and delivered the money that was brought into God’s house, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

¹⁰Ja nad andsid selle tööjuhatajate kätte, kelle hooleks oli Issanda koda, et need annaksid seda töötegijaile, kes töötasid Issanda kojas koja parandamiseks ja kohendamiseks.

¹⁰They delivered it into the hand of the workmen who had the oversight of the house of Yahweh; and the workmen who labored in the house of Yahweh gave it to mend and repair the house;

¹¹Ja need andsid seda meistritele ja ehitustöölistele, et nad ostaksid tahutud kive ja puitu aampalkideks ning nende kodade katmiseks, mis Juuda kuningad olid lasknud laguneda.

¹¹even to the carpenters and to the builders gave they it, to buy cut stone, and timber for couplings, and to make beams for the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

¹²Ja need mehed tegid ustavalt tööd. Neil olid ülevaatajaiks leviidid Jahat ja Obadja Merari poegadest, Sakarja ja Mesullam Kehati poegadest, et neid juhatada; ja leviidid, kõik, kes oskasid mänguriistu käsitseda,

¹²The men did the work faithfully: and their overseers 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 others of the Levites, all who were skillful with instruments of music.

¹³olid ülevaatajaiks kandjaile ja juhatasid kõiki töötegijaid mitmesugustel töödel. Ja leviitidest olid kirjutajad, ametnikud ja väravahoidjad.

¹³Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and set forward all who did the work in every kind of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.

¹⁴Ja kui nad võtsid välja raha, mis Issanda kotta oli toodud, siis leidis preester Hilkija Issanda Seaduse raamatu, mis Moosese läbi oli antud.

¹⁴When they brought out the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of Yahweh given by Moses.

¹⁵Ja Hilkija võttis sõna ning ütles kirjutaja Saafanile: 'Ma leidsin Issanda kojast Seaduse raamatu.' Ja Hilkija andis raamatu Saafanile.

¹⁵Hilkiah answered Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the house of Yahweh.” Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.

¹⁶Ja Saafan viis raamatu kuningale ja tõi kuningale ka veel sõna, öeldes: 'Su sulased on teinud kõik, mis nende kätte oli antud.

¹⁶Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought back word to the king, saying, “All that was committed to your servants, they are doing.

¹⁷Raha, mis leidus Issanda kojas, on toodud ja antud ülevaatajaile ning töötegijaile.'

¹⁷They have emptied out the money that was found in the house of Yahweh, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of the workmen.”

¹⁸Ja kirjutaja Saafan teatas kuningale ning ütles: 'Preester Hilkija andis mulle raamatu.' Ja Saafan luges sellest kuningale ette.

¹⁸Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book.” Shaphan read therein before the king.

¹⁹Aga kui kuningas kuulis Seaduse sõnu, siis ta käristas oma riided lõhki.

¹⁹It happened, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he tore his clothes.

²⁰Ja kuningas andis käsu Hilkijale ja Ahikamile, Saafani pojale, ja Abdonile, Miika pojale, ja kirjutaja Saafanile ja kuninga sulasele Asajale, öeldes:

²⁰The king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying,

²¹'Minge küsitlege Issandat minu ning Iisraelist ja Juudast ülejäänute nimel leitud raamatu sõnade pärast, sest suur on Issanda viha, mis meie peale on valatud, sellepärast et meie vanemad ei ole tähele pannud Issanda sõna ega ole teinud kõike nõnda, nagu selles raamatus on kirjutatud!'

²¹“Go inquire of Yahweh for me, and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the wrath of Yahweh that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of Yahweh, to do according to all that is written in this book.”

²²Siis läksid Hilkija ja need, keda kuningas käskis, naisprohvet Hulda juurde, kes oli riietehoidja Sallumi, Tokhati poja, Hasra pojapoja naine ja elas Jeruusalemmas teises linnaosas, ja rääkisid temale, nagu see asi oli.

²²So Hilkiah, and they whom the king had commanded, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter;) and they spoke to her to that effect.

²³Ja tema ütles neile: 'Nõnda ütleb Issand, Iisraeli Jumal: Öelge sellele mehele, kes teid minu juurde läkitas:

²³She said to them, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘Tell the man who sent you to me,

²⁴Nõnda ütleb Issand: Vaata, ma saadan sellele paigale ja selle elanikele õnnetuse, kõik need sajatused, mis on kirja pandud selles raamatus, mida Juuda kuningale ette loeti,

²⁴“Thus says Yahweh, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on this place, and on its inhabitants, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah.

²⁵sellepärast et nad jätsid minu maha ja suitsutasid teistele jumalatele, et mind vihastada oma igasugu kätetöödega, sellepärast valatakse ka minu tuline viha selle paiga peale ja see ei kustu mitte.

²⁵Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore is my wrath poured out on this place, and it shall not be quenched.’”’

²⁶Aga Juuda kuningale, kes teid läkitas Issandat küsitlema, öelge nõnda: Nõnda ütleb Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, sõnadest, mis sa oled kuulnud:

²⁶But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Yahweh, thus you shall tell him, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: “As touching the words which you have heard,

²⁷Et su süda pehmenes ja sa alandasid ennast Jumala ees, kui sa kuulsid tema sõnu selle paiga ja selle elanike kohta, et sa alandasid ennast minu ees, käristasid oma riided lõhki ja nutsid minu ees, siis olen ka mina sind kuulnud, ütleb Issand.

²⁷because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God, when you heard his words against this place, and against its inhabitants, and have humbled yourself before me, and have torn your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard you,” says Yahweh.

²⁸Vaata, ma koristan sind su vanemate juurde ja sind koristatakse rahus oma hauda ja sinu silmad ei saa näha kogu seda õnnetust, mille ma saadan sellele paigale ja selle elanikele.' Ja nad tõid kuningale sõna tagasi.

²⁸“Behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, neither shall your eyes see all the evil that I will bring on this place, and on its inhabitants.”’” They brought back word to the king.

²⁹Siis kuningas läkitas käsu ja kogus kokku kõik Juuda ja Jeruusalemma vanemad.

²⁹Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.

³⁰Ja kuningas läks Issanda kotta, ka kõik Juuda mehed ja Jeruusalemma elanikud, preestrid ja leviidid ja kogu rahvas, niihästi suured kui väikesed, ja ta luges nende kuuldes Issanda kojast leitud Seaduse raamatu kõik sõnad.

³⁰The king went up to the house of Yahweh, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, both 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 Yahweh.

³¹Ja kuningas astus oma kohale 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 oli kirjutatud.

³¹The king stood in his place, and made a covenant before Yahweh, to walk after Yahweh, 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 that were written in this book.

³²Ja ta seadis selle lepingu alla kõik, kes leiti Jeruusalemmast ja Benjaminist. Ja Jeruusalemma elanikud täitsid Jumala, oma vanemate Jumala lepingut.

³²He caused all who were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand. The inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.

³³Ja Joosija kõrvaldas kõik jäledused kõigist Iisraeli laste maakondadest ja pani kõik, kes elasid Iisraelis, teenima Issandat, nende Jumalat. Niikaua kui ta elas, ei taganenud nad Issandast, oma vanemate Jumalast.

³³Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all who were found in Israel to serve, even to serve Yahweh their God. All his days they didn’t depart from following Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
