¹Yoosiyaah markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray siddeed sannadood, oo Yeruusaalemna boqor buu ka ahaa kow iyo soddon sannadood. Oo hooyadiis magaceeduna wuxuu ahaa Yediidaah ina Cadaayaah oo reer Bosqad ahaa.

¹Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jedidah, daughter of Adaiah of Bozcath.

²Oo isagu wuxuu sameeyey wixii Rabbiga hortiisa ku qummanaa, wuuna ku socday jidkii awowgiis Daa'uud maray oo dhan, ugamana uu leexan xagga midigta iyo xagga bidixda toona.

²And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand nor to the left.

³Oo Boqor Yoosiyaah sannaddiisii siddeed iyo tobnaad wuxuu Shaafaan ina Asalyaah oo ahaa ina Meshullaam oo karraanigii ahaa u diray gurigii Rabbiga, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

³And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, [that] the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of Jehovah, saying,

⁴Orod oo waxaad u tagtaa Xilqiyaah oo ah wadaadka sare, oo isagu ha xisaabo lacagta guriga Rabbiga la soo geliyey oo irid-dhawrayaashu ay dadka ka soo ururiyeen.

⁴Go up to Hilkijah the high priest, that he may sum up the money which is brought into the house of Jehovah, which the doorkeepers have gathered of the people,

⁵Oo iyagu ha u dhiibeen shaqaalaha guriga Rabbiga u taliya, oo si meelaha guriga ka jajabay loo dhiso iyana ha u dhiibeen shaqaalaha guriga Rabbiga ku jira,

⁵and let them give it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of Jehovah; and let them give it to those that do the work in the house of Jehovah, to repair the breaches of the house,

⁶kuwaasoo ah nijaarrada, iyo waxdhisayaasha, iyo wastaadyada, oo ha ku soo iibiyeen alwaax iyo dhagaxyo la qoray oo guriga lagu dhiso.

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

⁷Habase yeeshee lama xisaabin lacagtii iyaga loo dhiibay, maxaa yeelay, waxay ahaayeen kuwa la aaminay.

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

⁸Markaasaa Xilqiyaah oo ahaa wadaadkii sare wuxuu ku yidhi Shaafaan oo karraanigii ahaa, Waxaan guriga Rabbiga ka dhex helay Kitaabkii Sharciga. Oo Xilqiyaah kitaabkii buu u dhiibay Shaafaan, oo isna wuu akhriyey.

⁸And Hilkijah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of Jehovah. And Hilkijah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.

⁹Markaasaa Shaafaan oo karraanigii ahaa boqorkii u yimid, wuuna u soo warramay oo ku yidhi, Addoommadaadii lacagtii guriga Rabbiga laga dhex helay way soo ururiyeen, oo waxay u dhiibeen shaqaalaha guriga Rabbiga u taliya.

⁹And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again and said, Thy servants have emptied out 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 Jehovah.

¹⁰Oo Shaafaan oo karraanigii ahaa ayaa boqorkii u sheegay oo ku yidhi, Wadaadkii Xilqiyaah ahaa wuxuu ii dhiibay kitaab. Markaasaa Shaafaan kitaabkii ku akhriyey boqorka hortiisii.

¹⁰And Shaphan the scribe informed the king saying, Hilkijah the priest has given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

¹¹Oo markii boqorkii maqlay erayadii kitaabkii sharciga ayuu dharkiisii jeexjeexay.

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

¹²Markaasaa boqorkii amray wadaadkii Xilqiyaah ahaa, iyo Axiiqaam ina Shaafaan, iyo Cakhboor ina Miikaayaah, iyo Shaafaan oo ahaa karraanigii, iyo Casaayaah oo ahaa midiidinkii boqorka, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

¹²And the king commanded Hilkijah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king, saying,

¹³War taga oo aniga iyo dadka iyo reer Yahuudah oo dhan Rabbiga inoo soo weyddiiya waxa ku saabsan erayada kitaabkan la helay, waayo, cadhada Rabbiga oo uu inoo cadhooday way weyn tahay, maxaa yeelay, awowayaasheen ma ay dhegaysan erayada kitaabkan inay yeelaan kulli waxyaalaha inagu saabsan ee ku qoran.

¹³Go, inquire of Jehovah for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book which is found; for great is the wrath of Jehovah that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened to the words of this book, to do according to all that is written [there] for us.

¹⁴Markaasaa wadaadkii Xilqiyaah ahaa, iyo Axiiqaam, iyo Cakhboor, iyo Shaafaan, iyo Casaayaah waxay u tageen nebiyaddii Xuldaah ahayd oo u dhaxday Shalluum ina Tiqwaah oo ahaa ina Xarxas, kaasoo ahaa kii dharka dhawri jiray. (Haddaba iyadu waxay degganayd Yeruusaalem xaafaddeeda labaad.) Markaasay iyadii la hadleen,

¹⁴And Hilkijah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe: now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter [of the town]; and they spoke with her.

¹⁵oo waxay ku tidhi, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaad ninkii ii soo kiin diray ku tidhaahdaan,

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

¹⁶Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eeg, belaayaan ku soo dejin doonaa meeshan iyo dadka degganba, taasoo ah kulli erayadii ku yiil kitaabkii boqorka dalka Yahuudah akhriyey oo dhan,

¹⁶Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place and upon the inhabitants thereof, all the words of the book that the king of Judah hath read.

¹⁷maxaa yeelay, iyagu way iga tageen, oo waxay foox u shideen ilaahyo kale inay igaga xanaajiyaan shuqulka gacmahooda oo dhan; oo sidaas daraaddeed cadhadaydu waxay ku kululaanaysaa meeshan, mana qaboobi doonto.

¹⁷Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my fury is kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.

¹⁸Laakiinse boqorkii dalka Yahuudah oo idiin soo diray inaad Rabbiga wax soo weyddiisaan waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu ka leeyahay waxa ku saabsan erayadii aad maqashay:

¹⁸But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Jehovah, thus shall ye say to him: Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel touching the words which thou hast heard:

¹⁹Qalbigaagu wuu jilicsanaa oo Rabbiga hortiisa ayaad isku hoosaysiisay markaad maqashay wixii aan kaga hadlay meeshan iyo dadka degganba, iyo inay iyagu noqon doonaan cidla iyo inkaar, oo waad igu hor ooyday, dharkaagiina waad jeexjeexday, oo sidaas daraaddeed waan ku maqlay, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.Haddaba waxaan kula ururin doonaa awowayaashaa, oo qabrigaaga nabad baad ugu ururi doontaa, oo indhahaaguna ma ay arki doonaan kulli belaayada aan meeshan ku soo dejin doono. Oo iyana boqorkii ayay mar kale u war keeneen.

¹⁹Because thy heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before Jehovah, when thou heardest what I spoke against this place and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and didst rend thy garments and weep before me, I also have heard [thee], saith Jehovah.

²⁰Haddaba waxaan kula ururin doonaa awowayaashaa, oo qabrigaaga nabad baad ugu ururi doontaa, oo indhahaaguna ma ay arki doonaan kulli belaayada aan meeshan ku soo dejin doono. Oo iyana boqorkii ayay mar kale u war keeneen.

²⁰Therefore, behold, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil that I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
