¹The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.

¹Markaasaa boqorkii cid diray, oo waxaa loo soo ururiyey odayaashii dalka Yahuudah iyo kuwii Yeruusaalem oo dhan.

²The king went up to the house of Yahweh, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of Yahweh.

²Oo boqorkiina wuxuu u kacay gurigii Rabbiga, oo waxaa isagii la socday raggii dalka Yahuudah oo dhan, iyo dadkii Yeruusaalem degganaa oo dhan, iyo wadaaddadii, iyo nebiyadii, iyo dadkii oo dhan yar iyo weynba; oo isna wuxuu hortooda ku akhriyey dhammaan erayadii kitaabkii axdiga oo gurigii Rabbiga laga dhex helay.

³The king stood by the pillar, 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 all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book: and all the people stood to the covenant.

³Markaasaa boqorkii istaagay tiirka agtiisii, 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 axdigan oo kitaabkan ku qornaa, oo dadkii oo dhammuna axdigii bay aqbaleen oo u istaageen.

⁴The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring forth out of Yahweh’s temple all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the army of the sky, and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.

⁴Markaasaa boqorkii ku amray wadaadkii sare oo ahaa Xilqiyaah, iyo wadaaddadii lahaa derejada labaad, iyo iridjoogayaashii, inay macbudka Rabbiga ka soo bixiyaan kulli weelashii loo sameeyey Bacal, iyo geedihii Asheeraah, iyo ciidanka samada oo dhan; oo isna wuxuu ku gubay Yeruusaalem dibaddeeda oo ah berrimmadii Qidroon, oo dambaskoodiina Beytel buu u qaaday.

⁵He put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places around Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the army of the sky.

⁵Oo wuxuu casilay wadaaddadii sanamyada caabudi jiray oo ay boqorradii dalka Yahuudah u doorteen inay foox ku shidaan meelaha sarsare oo ku yaal magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudah iyo meelaha ku wareegsan Yeruusaalem, iyo weliba kuwii fooxa u shidi jiray Bacal, iyo qorraxda, iyo dayaxa, iyo xiddigaha, iyo ciidanka samada oo dhan.

⁶He brought out the Asherah from the house of Yahweh, outside of Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on the graves of the common people.

⁶Oo geedihii Asheeraahna gurigii Rabbiga wuu ka soo bixiyey oo wuxuu geeyey Yeruusaalem dibaddeeda ilaa durdurka Qidroon, oo wuxuu ku gubay durdurkii Qidroon agtiisa, oo intuu ku tuntay ayuu budo ka dhigay, oo budadiina ku daadshay qabuurihii dadka.

⁷He broke down the houses of the sodomites, that were in the house of Yahweh, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah.

⁷Oo wuxuu dumiyey guryihii makhnuudyada oo ku dhex yiil guriga Rabbiga meeshay naaguhu ku samayn jireen daahyadii geedihii Asheeraah.

⁸He brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city.

⁸Oo wadaaddadii oo dhanna wuxuu ka soo kaxeeyey magaalooyinkii dalka Yahuudah, wuuna nijaaseeyey meelihii sarsare oo wadaaddadu fooxa ku shidi jireen, tan iyo Gebac ilaa Bi'ir Shebac; oo haddana wuxuu dumiyey meelihii sarsare oo irdaha, kuwaas oo ku yiil meesha laga soo galo iridda Yashuuca oo ahaa taliyihii magaalada, oo ku yiil xagga bidix ee iridda magaalada.

⁹Nevertheless the priests of the high places didn’t come up to the altar of Yahweh in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brothers.

⁹Habase yeeshee wadaaddadii meelaha sarsare ma ay iman meeshii allabariga oo Rabbiga ee Yeruusaalem ku tiil, laakiinse walaalahood way ku dhex cuni jireen kibis aan khamiir lahayn.

¹⁰He defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.

¹⁰Oo wuxuu nijaaseeyey Tofed oo ku taal dooxadii reer Xinnom, si uusan ninna wiilkiisa ama gabadhiisa dabkii u dhex marin Moleg.

¹¹He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of Yahweh, by the room of Nathan Melech the officer, who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

¹¹Oo wuxuu fogeeyey fardihii boqorradii dalka Yahuudah ay qorraxda ku siiyeen iridda laga soo galo guriga Rabbiga ee u dhow qolkii Naataan Meleg oo bohon ahaa uu degganaa, oo gaadhifardoodkii qorraxdana buu gubay.

¹²The king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of Yahweh, and beat them down from there, and cast their dust into the brook Kidron.

¹²Oo meelihii allabariga oo ku yiil qowladda sare ee Aaxaas saqafkeeda oo boqorradii dalka Yahuudah ay sameeyeen, iyo meelihii allabariga oo Manaseh ka sameeyey labada barxadood oo guriga Rabbiga ayuu boqorkii wada dumiyey, oo halkaas intuu ka orday ayuu boodhkoodii ku shubay durdurkii Qidroon.

¹³The the king defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon.

¹³Oo boqorkii wuxuu kaloo nijaaseeyey meelihii sarsare oo Yeruusaalem horteeda ku yiil, kuwaas oo ku yiil midigta buurta baabba'a, kuwaas oo Sulaymaan oo ahaa boqorkii reer binu Israa'iil uu u dhisay Cashtored oo ahayd karaahiyadii reer Siidoon, iyo Kemoosh oo ahaa karaahiyadii reer Moo'aab, iyo Milkom oo ahaa karaahiyadii reer Cammoon.

¹⁴He broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men.

¹⁴Oo wuxuu burburiyey tiirarkii, geedihii Asheeraahna wuu jaray, oo meelahoodiina wuxuu ka buuxiyey dad lafahood.

¹⁵Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.

¹⁵Oo weliba wuxuu kaloo dumiyey meeshii allabariga ee Beytel ku tiil, iyo meeshii sare oo Yaaraabcaam ina Nebaad oo dadkii Israa'iil dembaajiyey uu sameeyey, oo isla meeshii sare wuu gubay oo intuu ku tuntay ayuu budo ka dhigay, oo geedihii Asheeraahna wuu gubay.

¹⁶As Josiah turned himself, he spied the tombs that were there in the mountain; and he sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burned them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of Yahweh which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.

¹⁶Oo Yoosiyaah markuu soo jeestay ayuu arkay qabuurihii buurta ku yiil, oo intuu cid diray oo qabuurihii lafihii ka soo bixiyey ayuu meeshii allabariga ku dul gubay, wuuna nijaaseeyey, sidii uu ahaa erayga Rabbiga oo ninkii Ilaah naadiyey, kaasoo ahaa kii waxyaalahan naadiyey.

¹⁷Then he said, “What monument is that which I see?” The men of the city told him, “It is the tomb of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of Bethel.”

¹⁷Markaasuu yidhi, Taalladaas aan arkaa waa maxay? Oo dadkii magaaladu waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Waa qabrigii ninkii Ilaah oo dalka Yahuudah ka yimid oo naadiyey waxyaalahan aad ku samaysay meeshii allabariga ee Beytel.

¹⁸He said, “Let him be! Let no man move his bones.” So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.

¹⁸Markaasuu yidhi, Iska daaya oo yaan ninna lafihiisa dhaqaajin. Sidaas daraaddeed way iska daayeen lafihiisii iyo lafihii nebigii Samaariya ka yimid.

¹⁹All the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke Yahweh to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.

¹⁹Oo guryihii meelaha sarsare oo dhan ee ku yiil magaalooyinka Samaariya ee ay boqorradii dalka Israa'iil u dhiseen inay Rabbiga kaga xanaajiyaan ayuu Yoosiyaah wada dumiyey, oo wuxuu ku sameeyey falimihii uu Beytel ku sameeyey oo kale.

²⁰He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burned men’s bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem.

²⁰Oo wadaaddadii meelaha sarsare oo halkaas joogay oo dhanna wuxuu ku wada laayay meelihii allabariga dushooda, dushoodiina wuxuu ku gubay lafo dad, dabadeedna Yeruusaalem buu ku noqday.

²¹The king commanded all the people, saying, “Keep the Passover to Yahweh your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.”

²¹Markaasaa boqorkii dadkii oo dhan amray oo ku yidhi, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah u dhawra Iidda Kormaridda, siday ugu qoran tahay kitaabkan axdiga.

²²Surely there was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;

²²Hubaal Iiddaas Kormaridda oo kale lama dhawrin tan iyo wakhtiyadii xaakinnadu reer binu Israa'iil xukumi jireen, iyo wakhtiyadii boqorradii dalka Israa'iil oo dhan, iyo wakhtiyadii boqorradii dalka Yahuudah toona.

²³but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this Passover kept to Yahweh in Jerusalem.

²³Laakiinse sannaddii siddeed iyo tobnaad oo Boqor Yoosiyaah ayaa Iiddaas Kormaridda Rabbiga loogu dhawray Yeruusaalem.

²⁴Moreover Josiah removed those who had familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of Yahweh.

²⁴Oo weliba Yoosiyaah wuxuu baabbi'iyey kuwii ruuxaanta lahaa, iyo saaxiriintii, iyo teraafiimtii, iyo sanamyadii, iyo dhammaan karaahiyadii lagu arkay dalka Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalemba, si uu u adkeeyo erayadii sharcigii ku qornaa kitaabkii wadaadkii Xilqiyaah ka dhex helay gurigii Rabbiga.

²⁵Like him was there no king before him, who turned to Yahweh with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.

²⁵Oo isaga hortiis ma jirin boqor la mid ah oo Rabbiga ugu soo jeestay qalbigiisa oo dhan iyo naftiisa oo dhan iyo xooggiisa oo dhan siduu ahaa sharcigii Muuse oo dhan, oo isagii dabadiisna ma uu kicin boqor la mid ahu.

²⁶Notwithstanding, Yahweh didn’t turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocation with which Manasseh had provoked him.

²⁶Laakiinse Rabbigu kama uu soo noqon cadhadiisii kululayd ee weynayd oo uu dadka Yahuudah ugu cadhooday xanaaqii uu Manaseh isaga ka xanaajiyey aawadiis.

²⁷Yahweh said, “I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, ‘My name shall be there.’”

²⁷Markaasaa Rabbigu yidhi, Anigu dadkii Yahuudahna hortayda waan ka fogaynayaa, sidaan dadkii Israa'iilba u fogeeyey oo kale, oo waan duminayaa magaaladan aan doortay oo ah Yeruusaalem, iyo gurigii aan idhi, Magacaygu halkaas ha yaallo.

²⁸Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁸Haddaba Yoosiyaah falimihiisii kale iyo wixii uu sameeyey oo dhammu sow kuma qorna kitaabkii taariikhda boqorradii dalka Yahuudah?

²⁹In his days Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.

²⁹Oo isaga wakhtigiisii ayaa Fircoon Nekoo oo boqorka Masar ahaa ku kacay boqorkii Ashuur ilaa Webi Yufraad, oo waxaa isagii ku soo baxay Boqor Yoosiyaah, markaasaa Fircoon Nekoo isagii ku dilay Megiddoo agteeda markuu arkay.

³⁰His servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s place.

³⁰Oo addoommadiisii intay gaadhifaras Megiddoo kaga qaadeen isagoo meyd ah ayay Yeruusaalem keeneen oo qabrigiisii ku aaseen. Markaasay dadkii waddanku soo wateen Yehoo'aaxaas ina Yoosiyaah, oo intay subkeen ayay boqor uga dhigeen meeshii aabbihiis.

³¹Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

³¹Oo Yehoo'aaxaas markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray saddex iyo labaatan sannadood, oo intii saddex bilood ah ayuu Yeruusaalem boqor ka ahaa; oo hooyadiis magaceeduna wuxuu ahaa Xamuutal ina Yeremyaah, oo reer Libnaah ahayd.

³²He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that his fathers had done.

³²Oo isna wuxuu sameeyey wax Rabbiga hortiisa shar ku ah sidii wixii ay awowayaashiis sameeyeen oo dhan.

³³Pharaoh Necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of one hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.

³³Fircoon Nekoo ayaa isagii ku xidhay Riblaah oo ku taal dalka Xamaad si uusan Yeruusaalem boqor ugu sii ahaan; oo dalkiina wuxuu saaray baad ah boqol talanti oo lacag ah iyo talanti dahab ah.

³⁴Pharaoh Necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim: but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and died there.

³⁴Markaasaa Fircoon Nekoo ayaa Eliyaaqiim ina Yoosiyaah boqor uga dhigay meeshii aabbihiis Yoosiyaah, oo magiciisiina wuxuu u beddelay Yehooyaaqiim, laakiinse isagu Yehoo'aaxaas buu kaxeeyey, oo markuu Masar keenay ayuu halkaas ku dhintay.

³⁵Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of everyone according to his taxation, to give it to Pharaoh Necoh.

³⁵Markaasaa Yehooyaaqiim lacagtii iyo dahabkii Fircoon siiyey; laakiinse wuxuu cashuuray dalka inuu lacagtii u bixiyo sidii Fircoon ugu amray; oo lacagtii iyo dahabkii wuxuu ka soo guray dadkii dalka degganaa, intii mid kastaba cashuurtiisu ahayd, si uu Fircoon Nekoo u siiyo.

³⁶Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.

³⁶Oo Yehooyaaqiimna markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray shan iyo labaatan sannadood, oo Yeruusaalemna wuxuu boqor ka ahaa kow iyo toban sannadood, oo hooyadiis magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Sebuudaah ina Fedaayaah, oo reer Ruumaah ahayd.Oo isna wuxuu sameeyey wax shar ku ah Rabbiga hortiisa, sidii wixii ay awowayaashiis sameeyeen oo dhan.

³⁷He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that his fathers had done.

³⁷Oo isna wuxuu sameeyey wax shar ku ah Rabbiga hortiisa, sidii wixii ay awowayaashiis sameeyeen oo dhan.
