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 the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.
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.
2He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and walked in all the way of David his father, and didn’t turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
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.
3It happened 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 Yahweh, saying,
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,
4“Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the money which is brought into the house of Yahweh, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered of the people.
4Siampu lalpen Hilkia kiangah hoh tou inla, kongkhak vengmiten mite kiang a nalak khawmuh TOUPA in a dangka hong kikoih sim uh henla;
5Let them deliver it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of Yahweh; and let them give it to the workmen who are in the house of Yahweh, to repair the breaches of the house,
5TOUPA in lam nasemmite pia uhen; huan, amau in se bawl TOUPA in a nasemte pia uhen;
6to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair 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.
7However there was no accounting made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand; for they dealt faithfully.”
7Ahihhangin dangka a piakte uh a etpih nawn tuan kei ua; muanhuai taka a hih sek jiak un.
8Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the house of Yahweh.” Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
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.
9Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, “Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of Yahweh.”
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.
10Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered a book to me.” Shaphan read it before the king.
10Huan, laigelhmi Saphanin, Siampu Hilkiain laibu honna pia, chiin kumpipa a hilh. Huan Saphanin kumpipa maah a sima.
11It happened, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he tore his clothes.
11Huan, Kumpipan dan laibu a thute a jakin hichi ahi a, a puante a bot kek a.
12The king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying,
12Huan, kumpipan siampu Hilkia te, Saphan tapa Ahikam te, Mikai tapa Akborte, laigelhmi Saphan te, kumpipa mi Asai te kiangah,
13“Go inquire of Yahweh 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 Yahweh that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written concerning us.”
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.
14So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked with her.
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).
15She said to them, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘Tell the man who sent you to me,
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:
16“Thus says Yahweh, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on this place, and on its inhabitants, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah has read.
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,
17Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.’”
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.
18But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Yahweh, thus you shall tell him, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘Concerning the words which you have heard,
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,
19because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before Yahweh, when you heard what I spoke against this place, and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have torn your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard you,’ says Yahweh.
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.
20‘Therefore 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 which I will bring on this place.’”’” They brought back this message to the king.
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.
