¹Josia A lal pat tungin kumgiat a upa ahi; Jerusalem ah kum sawmthum leh kum khat a lal a: a nu min Jedid, Bozkath khua a Adai tanu ahi.

¹Josiah 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.

²Huan, TOUPA mitmuhin thil diktat tak a hih jela, a pu David lampi tot tengteng a tawn tei a, tak lamah hiam veilam ah hiam a pial kei hi.

²And 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.

³Huan, kumpipa Josia a lal kum sawm leh kum giat kumin hichi ahi a, kumpipan Mesullam ta Azalai tapa lai gelhmi Saphan a sawl a,

³And 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,

⁴Siampu lalpen Hilkia kiangah hoh tou inla, kongkhak vengmiten mite kiang a nalak khawmuh TOUPA in a dangka hong kikoih sim uh henla;

⁴Go 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:

⁵TOUPA in lam nasemmite pia uhen; huan, amau in se bawl TOUPA in a nasemte pia uhen;

⁵And 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,

⁶Singlem bawlmi te, in lammi te, in sia bawlmiten in siatna tat a bawlna sing leh suang sek a lei theihna dingun, chiin TOUPA inah a sawl hi.

⁶Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.

⁷Ahihhangin dangka a piakte uh a etpih nawn tuan kei ua; muanhuai taka a hih sek jiak un.

⁷Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.

⁸Huan, siampu lalpen Hilkiain laigelhmi Saphan kiangah, TOUPA inah dan laibu ka tawm e, a chi a. Huan, Hilkiain laibu Saphan a pia a, aman a simta hi.

⁸And 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.

⁹Huan, Laibugelhmi Saphan kumpipa kiangah a hoh a, kumpipa kiangah thu a vatun nawn a, Na miten ina dangka om a pe khe vek ua: TOUPA in lam nasemmite a pe vek uh, a chi a.

⁹And 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.

¹⁰Huan, laigelhmi Saphanin, Siampu Hilkiain laibu honna pia, chiin kumpipa a hilh. Huan Saphanin kumpipa maah a sima.

¹⁰And Shaphan the scribe showed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

¹¹Huan, Kumpipan dan laibu a thute a jakin hichi ahi a, a puante a bot kek a.

¹¹And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.

¹²Huan, kumpipan siampu Hilkia te, Saphan tapa Ahikam te, Mikai tapa Akborte, laigelhmi Saphan te, kumpipa mi Asai te kiangah,

¹²And 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,

¹³Kei leh, mipi leh, Judate tengteng hiai laibu tawpa thu tuang thu ah TOUPA honva dot sak dih uh; I chih ding ua hiai laibu-a gelh bang bang i pi leh puten a nazuih louh jiak un I tunguah TOUPA hehna a nakkuan mahmah ta hi, a chi a.

¹³Go 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.

¹⁴Huchiin siampu Hilkia te, Ahikam te, Akbor te, Saphan te, Asai te puansilh kempa Harhas ta Tikva tapa Sallum ji jawlnei Hulda kiangah a hoh ua; a vahoupih ua. (Amah bel Jerusalem Misnea om a hi).

¹⁴So 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.

¹⁵Huan aman a kiang uah TOUPA, Isarelte Pathian in hichi in a chi: Ka kianga nou honsawlpa hilh un, TOUPAN hichi in a chi hi:

¹⁵And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,

¹⁶Ngaiin, hiai lai mun ah leh, a sunga tengte tungah thil hoih lou tak ka hontungsak ding hi, Juda kumpipan laibu-a a thu sim tengteng bangin,

¹⁶Thus 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:

¹⁷Honpaisan ua, pathian dangte kianga gimlim a hal ua, a khutsuak ua a honhihheh jiak un hiai lai mun ah ka hehna nakpiin a kuang sina, a mawk mit sin kei hi.

¹⁷Because 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.

¹⁸Himahleh TOUPA dong dinga nou honsawlpa Juda kumpipa kiangah hichiin na chi ding uh: TOUPA, Israelte Pathianin hichiin a chi: na thu jak tungtang thu ah,

¹⁸But 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;

¹⁹Hiai lai mun leh, a sunga tengte hihgam leh hamsiatin a hongom ding uh chih thu ka gen na najaa, na lungsimte a nema, TOUPA maa na kiniamkhiaka, na puante na boh keka, ka maa na kah jiakin, ken leng na thu ka naja, TOUPAN a chi hi.Huchiin ngaiin, na pi leh pute kiangah ka honpi dinga, na hanah lungmuang taka piin na om dinga, hiai lai muna thil hoih lou tak ka hontunsak ding na mitin a mu vek kei ding hi, a chi hi, chiin, a chi a. Huchin thu tuh kumpipa kiangah a vatun nawn uh.

¹⁹Because 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.

²⁰Huchiin ngaiin, na pi leh pute kiangah ka honpi dinga, na hanah lungmuang taka piin na om dinga, hiai lai muna thil hoih lou tak ka hontunsak ding na mitin a mu vek kei ding hi, a chi hi, chiin, a chi a. Huchin thu tuh kumpipa kiangah a vatun nawn uh.

²⁰Behold 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.
