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

¹Yoosiyaah markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray siddeed sannadood, oo Yeruusaalemna boqor buu ku ahaa kow iyo soddon sannadood.

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.

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

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.

³Waayo, sannaddii siddeedaad oo boqornimadiisa intuu weli dhallinyaraa ayuu bilaabay inuu doondoono Ilaahii awowgiis Daa'uud, oo sannaddii laba iyo tobnaad ayuu bilaabay inuu reer Yahuudah iyo reer Yeruusaalem ka nadiifiyo meelihii sarsare, iyo geedihii Asheeraah, iyo sanamyadii xardhanaa, iyo sanamyadii shubka ahaaba.

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.

⁴Oo meelihii Bacaliim allabariga loogu bixin jiray oo dhanna hortiisay ku dumiyeen, sanamyadii qorraxda ee iyaga ka sarreeyeyna wuu wada jaray, oo geedihii Asheeraah iyo sanamyadii xardhanaa, iyo sanamyadii shubka ahaana dhammaantood wuu wada burburiyey oo boodh ka dhigay, oo wuxuu ku dul firdhiyey qabuurihii kuwii allabariga u bixin jiray.

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

⁵Oo meelahoodii allabarigana wuxuu ku kor gubay lafihii wadaaddadii, oo dalka Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalemba wuu wada nadiifiyey.

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

⁶Oo sidaasoo kaluu ka wada yeelay magaalooyinkii reer Manaseh iyo reer Efrayim iyo reer Simecoon iyo xataa kuwii reer Naftaali, iyo meelahoodii burbursanaa oo ku wareegsanaa oo dhan.

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.

⁷Oo meelihii allabariga wuu wada dumiyey, geedihii Asheeraah iyo sanamyadii xardhanaana wuu wada budeeyey, oo sanamyadii qorraxda ee dalka Israa'iil oo dhan ku yiilna wuu wada jaray, markaasuu Yeruusaalem ku noqday.

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.

⁸Oo sannaddii siddeed iyo tobnaad oo boqornimadiisa, markuu nadiifiyey dalkii iyo gurigiiba ayuu diray Shaafaan ina Asalyaah, iyo Macaseeyaah oo ahaa taliyihii magaalada, iyo Yoo'aax ina Yoo'aaxaas oo ahaa taariikhqore inay cusboonaysiiyaan gurigii Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah.

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.

⁹Markaasay u yimaadeen Xilqiyaah oo ahaa wadaadkii sare, oo waxay u dhiibeen lacagtii guriga Ilaah la geliyey, oo irid-dhawrayaasha reer Laawi ay ka soo ururiyeen reer Manaseh iyo reer Efrayim, iyo kuwii kale oo reer binu Israa'iil ah oo dhan, iyo reer Yahuudah iyo reer Benyaamiin oo dhan, iyo dadkii Yeruusaalem degganaaba.

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;

¹⁰Oo lacagtii waxay u dhiibeen shaqaalaha guriga Rabbiga u talin jiray, oo raggii guriga Rabbiga ka dhex shaqayn jirayna waxay u bixiyeen in guriga lagu hagaajiyo oo lagu cusboonaysiiyo.

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.

¹¹Waxay siiyeen nijaarradii iyo waxdhisayaashii inay ku soo iibiyaan dhagaxyo la qoray iyo alwaax wax laysku xidho, iyo inay alwaax saqafka haya u sameeyaan guryihii ay boqorradii reer Yahuudah dumiyeen.

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.

¹²Oo raggiina shuqulkii waxay u sameeyeen si daacadnimo ah; kuwii u talin jiray oo shuqulka hore u wadi jirayna waxay ahaayeen Yaaxad iyo Cobadyaah oo ahaa reer Laawi oo ka ahaa reer Meraarii, iyo Sekaryaah iyo Meshullaam oo ahaa reer Qohaad, oo waxaa kaloo la jiray kuwa kale oo reer Laawi ah oo alaabta muusikada karay oo dhan.

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.

¹³Oo weliba waxay kaloo u talin jireen xammaalladii, hore bayna u wadi jireen shuqulkii kuwii shaqayn jiray oo dhan, cayn kastoo hawshoodu ahaydba, oo reer Laawina waxaa ka joogay karraaniyo iyo saraakiil iyo iridjoogayaal.

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.

¹⁴Oo markay soo bixiyeen lacagtii guriga Rabbiga la geliyey ayaa wadaadkii Xilqiyaah ahaa helay kitaabkii sharcigii Rabbiga oo Muuse loo sii dhiibay.

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

¹⁵Markaasaa Xilqiyaah jawaabay oo wuxuu karraanigii Shaafaan ku yidhi, Waxaan gurigii Rabbiga ka dhex helay Kitaabkii Sharciga. Oo Xilqiyaah kitaabkii buu u dhiibay Shaafaan.

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.

¹⁶Markaasaa Shaafaan kitaabkii u geeyey boqorkii, oo weliba boqorkii buu u soo warramay oo ku yidhi, Addoommadaadii way wada samaynayaan wixii loo dhiibay oo dhan.

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.”

¹⁷Oo iyagu lacagtii guriga Rabbiga laga dhex helay way soo ururiyeen oo waxay u dhiibeen kuwa shuqulka u taliya iyo ragga shaqaalaha ah.

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

¹⁸Oo 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.

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

¹⁹Oo markii boqorkii maqlay erayadii sharciga ayuu dharkiisii jeexjeexay.

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,

²⁰Markaasaa boqorkii amray Xilqiyaah, iyo Axiiqaam ina Shaafaan, iyo Cabdoon ina Miikaah, iyo Shaafaan oo ahaa karraanigii, iyo Casaayaah oo ahaa addoonkii boqorka, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

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.”

²¹War taga, oo aniga iyo kuwa dalka Israa'iil iyo dalka Yahuudah ku hadhayba Rabbiga wax inoo soo weyddiiya waxa ku saabsan erayada kitaabkii la helay, waayo, cadhada Rabbiga oo inagu soo degtay way weyn tahay, maxaa yeelay, awowayaasheen ma ay xajin inay wada yeelaan waxa kitaabkan ku qoran oo dhan.

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.

²²Markaasaa Xilqiyaah iyo kuwii boqorku amrayba waxay u tageen nebiyaddii Xuldaah ahayd oo u dhaxday Shalluum ina Tawqhad, oo ahaa ina Xasraah, kaasoo ahaa kii dharka dhawri jiray. (Haddaba iyadu waxay degganayd Yeruusaalem xaafaddeeda labaad.) Markaasay iyadii kala hadleen xaalkaas.

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

²³Oo waxay ku tidhi, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaad ninkii ii soo kiin diray u sheegtaan,

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.

²⁴Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eeg, belaayaan ku soo dejin doonaa meeshan iyo dadka degganba, taasoo ah kulli habaarrada ku qoran kitaabkii boqorka Yahuudah hortiisa lagu akhriyey oo dhan,

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.’”’

²⁵maxaa 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 kor degtay meeshan, mana qaboobi doonto.

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,

²⁶Laakiinse 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 erayadii aad maqashay:

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.

²⁷Qalbigaagu wuu jilicsanaa oo Ilaah hortiisa ayaad isku hoosaysiisay markaad maqashay erayadiisii uu kaga hadlay meeshan iyo dadka degganba, oo hortayda ayaad isku hoosaysiisay, oo dharkaagii waad jeexjeexday, oo waad igu hor ooyday, oo sidaas daraaddeed waan ku maqlay, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.

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.

²⁸Haddaba waxaan kula ururin doonaa awowayaashaa, oo qabrigaaga nabad baad ugu ururi doontaa, oo indhahaaguna ma ay arki doonaan kulli belaayada aan ku soo dejin doono meeshan iyo dadka degganba. Oo iyana boqorkii ayay mar kale u war keeneen.

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

²⁹Markaasaa boqorkii cid diray oo waxaa loo soo ururiyey odayaashii dalka Yahuudah iyo kuwii Yeruusaalem oo dhan.

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.

³⁰Oo boqorkii wuxuu u kacay gurigii Rabbiga oo waxaa isagii la socday raggii dalka Yahuudah oo dhan, iyo dadkii Yeruusaalem degganaa, iyo wadaaddadii, iyo kuwii reer Laawi, iyo dadkii oo dhan yar iyo weynba, oo isna wuxuu hortooda ku akhriyey dhammaan erayadii kitaabkii axdiga oo guriga Rabbiga laga dhex helay.

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.

³¹Markaasaa boqorkii istaagay meeshiisii, oo wuxuu Rabbiga hortiisa axdi ugu maray inuu Rabbiga raaco oo uu qalbigiisa oo dhan iyo naftiisa oo dhan ku dhawro amarradiisa, iyo markhaatiyadiisa, iyo qaynuunnadiisa, iyo inuu sii adkeeyo erayadii axdiga oo kitaabkan ku qornaa.

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.

³²Oo wuxuu ka dhigay in intii Yeruusaalem iyo dalka reer Benyaamiin laga helay oo dhanba ay axdiga aqbalaan oo u istaagaan. Oo dadkii Yeruusaalem degganaana waxay yeeleen si waafaqsan axdigii Ilaah, kaasoo ahaa Ilaahii awowayaashood.Markaasaa Yoosiyaah karaahiyadii oo dhan ka fogeeyey dalalka ay dadka Israa'iil lahaayeen oo dhan, oo dadkii dalka Israa'iil laga dhex helay oo dhanna wuxuu ka dhigay inay u adeegaan Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah. Oo intuu noolaa oo dhanna kama ay tegin lasocodka Rabbiga ah Ilaaha awowayaashood.

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.

³³Markaasaa Yoosiyaah karaahiyadii oo dhan ka fogeeyey dalalka ay dadka Israa'iil lahaayeen oo dhan, oo dadkii dalka Israa'iil laga dhex helay oo dhanna wuxuu ka dhigay inay u adeegaan Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah. Oo intuu noolaa oo dhanna kama ay tegin lasocodka Rabbiga ah Ilaaha awowayaashood.
