Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1To naah siangpahrang Josiah mah, Judah hoi Jerusalem ih kacoehtanawk boih to kawk.
1And they brought the king word again what she had said. And he sent: and all the ancients of Juda and Jerusalem were assembled to him.
2Siagpahrang loe Judah kaminawk, Jerusalem ih kaminawk, qaimanawk hoi tahmaanawk, kathoeng kalen kaminawk boih hoi nawnto Angraeng ih im ah caeh tahang. Anih mah Angraeng imthung ah hnuk ih lokmaihaih cabu pong ih loknawk boih to kaminawk thaih hanah kroek pae.
2And the king went up to the temple of the Lord, and all the men of Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, the priests and the prophets, and all the people both little and great: and in the hearing of them all he read all the words of the book of the covenant, which was found in the house of the Lord.
3Siangpahrang Josiah loe homh taengah angdoet, Angraeng hnukbang hanah, a lokpaekhaihnawk, a thuih ih loknawk, lok takroekhaih daanawk to palungthin tang hoi hinghaih boih hoiah pazui moe, hae lokmaihaih cabu thungah tarik ih loknawk to caksak hanah, Angraeng hmaa ah lokmaihaih to a sak. Kaminawk boih lokmaihaih hmaa ah angdoet o.
3And the king stood upon the step: and made a covenant with the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies and his ceremonies, with all their heart, and with all their soul, and to perform the words of this covenant, which were written in that book: and the people agreed to the covenant.
4Siangpahrang mah, qaima Hilkiah, anih tlim ah kaom qaimanawk hoi khongkha toep kaminawk khaeah, Baal sithaw, Asherah thing hoi cakaehnawk hanah sak o ih, laom sabaennawk boih to Angraeng im thung hoi tasa bangah pathok hanah lokpaek; to hmuennawk to Jerusalem vangpui tasa bang ih Kidron azawn ah hmai hoiah thlaek o moe, maiphu to Bethel ah sinh o.
4And the king commanded Helcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to cast out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that had been made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burnt them without Jerusalem in the valley of Cedron, and he carried the ashes of them to Bethel.
5Judah prae hoi Jerusalem vangpui taeng ih hmuensangnawk boih ah hmuihoih thlaek hanah, Judah siangpahrangnawk mah suek ih, krang kabok qaimanawk, Baal, ni hoi khrah, van ih longnawk hoi cakaehnawk khaeah hmuihoih thlaek kaminawk to takhoe boih.
5And he destroyed the soothsayers, whom the kings of Juda had appointed to sacrifice in the high places in the cities of Juda, and round about Jerusalem: them also that burnt incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, and to all the host of heaven.
6Angraeng im thung ih Asherah thing to a lak moe, Jerusalem vangpui tasa bang ih Kidron vacong ah a sinh pacoengah, to vacong taengah hmai hoiah a qoeng; kadip puengah naep pacoengah, to maiphu to kaminawk ih taprong ah a haeh.
6And he caused the grove to be carried out from the house of the Lord without Jerusalem to the valley of Cedron, and he burnt it there, and reduced it to dust, and cast the dust upon the graves of the common people.
7Nongpatanawk mah Asherah thing hanah kahni sakhaih ahmuen, Angraeng im taeng ih nongpanawk hnukbang tangyat mii kadueh kaminawk ohhaih im doeh a phraek pae.
7He destroyed also the pavilions of the effeminate, which were in the house of the Lord, for which the women wove as it were little dwellings for the grove.
8Josiah mah Judah prae thung boih ih qaimanawk to kawk moe, nihcae mah hmuihoih thlaekhaih hmuensangnawk to Geba hoi Beersheba khoek to panuet kaom ah sak; Jerusalem vangpui ukkkung, Joshua ih khongkha akunhaih banqoi bangah kaom, vangpui sipae khongkha ih hmuensangnawk doeh vah pae phaeng.
8And he gathered together all the priests out of the cities of Juda: and he defiled the high places, where the priests offered sacrifice, from Gabaa to Bersabee: and he broke down the altars of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Josue governor of tile city, which was on the left hand of the gate of the city.
9Hmuensang ah toksah qaimanawk loe Jerusalem ih Angraeng hmaicam ah caeh o thai ai; toe taeh thuh ai ih takaw loe ampui qaimanawk hoi nawnto caak o thaih.
9However the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem: but only ate of the unleavened bread among their brethren.
10Josiah mah, Mi kawbaktih doeh a canu hoi a capanawk to Molek sithaw khaeah hmai angbawnhaih sak han ai ah, Ben-Hinom azawn ah kaom, Topheth sithaw to panuet thok ah a sak.
10And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom: that no man should consecrate there his son or his daughter through fire to Moloch.
11Judah siangpahrangnawk mah Ni khaeah tathlangh o ih, Angraeng im akunhaih khongkha taeng ih Nathan-Melek ohhaih imkhaan taengah kaom, hrangnawk doeh vah pae king; ni khaeah tathlangh o ih hrang lakoknawk doeh hmai hoiah a thlaek pae.
11And he took away the horses which the kings of Juda had given to the sun, at the entering in of the temple of the Lord, near the chamber of Nathanmelech the eunuch, who was in Pharurim: and he burnt the chariots of the sun with fire.
12Judah siangpahrangnawk mah sak o ih, Ahaz imkhaan ranui ih hmaicamnawk, Manasseh mah Angraeng im longhma hnetto pongah sak ih hmaicamnawk to a phraek moe, kadip pueng khoek to boh pae phaeng pacoengah, maiphu dip to Kidron vacong ah a vah.
12And the altars that were upon the top of the upper chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the temple of the Lord, the king broke down: and he ran from thence, and cast the ashes of them into the torrent Cedron.
13Israel siangpahrang Solomon mah, Jerusalem vangpui ni angyae bang, amrohaih mae aloih bangah kaom, panuet thok Sidon kaminawk ih sithaw Ashtoreth, panuet thok Moab kaminawk ih sithaw Khemost hoi panuet thok Ammon kaminawk ih Milkom sithaw hanah, sak pae ih hmuensangnawk to panuet kaom ah a sak pae.
13The high places also that were at Jerusalem on the right side of the Mount of Offence, O which Solomon king of Israel had built to Astaroth the idol of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the scandal of Moab, and to Melchom the abomination of the children of Ammon, the king defiled.
14Josiah mah krangnawk to vah pae phaeng moe, Asherah thingnawk to pakhruk pae; nihcae ohhaih ahmuen to kami huh hoiah koisak.
14And he broke in pieces the statues, and cut down the groves: and he filled their places with the bones of dead men.
15Bethel ih hmaicam, Israel kaminawk zaehaih sahsakkung, Nebat capa Jeroboam mah sak ih, hmuensang, to ah kaom hmaicam hoi hmuensangnawk doeh phraek pae king; hmuensang to hmai hoiah thlaek pacoengah, kadip pueng khoek to a boh pae; Asherah thing doeh hmai hoiah a thlaek.
15Moreover the altar also that was at Bethel, and the high place, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made: both the altar, and the high place he broke down and burnt, and reduced to powder, and burnt the grove.
16Josiah mah khet moe, mae nuiah kaom taprongnawk to hnuk naah, kami to patoeh moe, taprong thung ih kami huh to laksak; Sithaw ih kami mah thuicoek ih Angraeng ih lok baktih toengah, ahuhnawk to hmaicam nuiah hmai hoiah thlaek moe, panuet kaom ah a sak.
16And as Josias turned himself, he saw there the sepulchres that were in the mount: and he sent and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burnt them upon the altar, and defiled it according to the word of the Lord, which the man of God spoke, who had foretold these things.
17Siangpahrang mah, Taprong thlung nuiah ka hnuk ih hmuen loe tih aa? tiah a naa. Vangpui thung ih kaminawk mah, Hae loe Judah prae thung hoiah angzoh moe, vaihniah Bethel ih hmaicam nuiah na sak ih hmuen to ka koeh ai, tiah thuikung, Sithaw kami angmathaih ih taprong ni, tiah thuih pae o.
17And he said: What is that monument which I see? And the men of that city answered: It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Juda, and foretold these things which thou hast done upon the altar of Bethel.
18Anih mah, To tiah suem o duem ah; mi mah doeh anih ih ahuh to takhoe o hmah nasoe, tiah a naa. To pongah anih ih ahuh hoi Samaria hoiah angzo kaminawk ih ahuh to a caeh o taak.
18And he said: Let him alone, let no man move his bones. So his bones were left untouched with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
19Bethel vangpui ah sak ih baktih toengah, Josiah mah Angraeng palungphuisak hanah, Samaria vangpuinawk thungah Israel siangpahrangnawk mah sak o ih hmuensangnawk hoi bokhaih ahmuennawk to phraek pae king.
19Moreover all the temples of the high places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord, Josias took away: and he did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
20Josiah mah toksah qaimanawk to hmuensang ih hmaicamnawk nuiah hum boih moe, kami huhnawk to to hmaicam nuiah hmai hoi thlaek pacoengah, Jerusalem ah amlaem.
20And he slew all the priests of the high places, that were there, upon the altars: and he burnt men’s bones upon them: and returned to Jerusalem.
21Siangpahrang mah kaminawk boih khaeah, Hae lokmaihaih cabu thungah tarik ih baktih toengah, na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah misong loihaih poih to sah oh.
21And he commanded all the people, saying: Keep the phase to the Lord your God, according as it is written in the book of this covenant.
22Israel zaehoikung lokcaekkungnawk ih adung hoiah kamtong, Israel siangpahrangnawk hoi Judah siangpahrangnawk dung thung boih ah, to baktih misong loihaih poih to sah o vai ai;
22Now there was no such a phase kept from the days of the judges, who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda,
23toe Josiah siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning hatlaitazetto naah, Angraeng khaeah misong loihhaih poih to Jerusalem ah sak o.
23As was this phase that was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem, in the eighteenth year of king Josias.
24To pacoengah Josiah loe, qaima Hilkiah mah Angraeng im thungah hnuk ih Sithaw lok cabu thungah tarik ih loknawk baktih toengah pazui hanah, pakhra hoi mauihnawk, krangnawk, sakcop ih krangnawk han toksah kaminawk, Judah prae hoi Jerusalem ah kaom panuet thok hmuennawk to a phraek boih.
24Moreover the diviners by spirits, and soothsayers, and the figures of idols, and the uncleannesses, and the abominations, that had been in the land of Juda, and Jerusalem, Josias took away: that he might perform the words of the law, that were written in the book which Helcias the priest had found in the temple of the Lord.
25Josiah siangpahrang ah om ai nathuem hoi anih siangpahrang ah oh pacoeng khoek to, Josiah baktiah poekhaih palungthin boih, a hinghaih boih, a thacakhaih boih hoi Mosi mah paek ih kaalok baktih toengah, Angraeng khaeah amlaem kami maeto doeh om ai.
25There was no king before him like unto him, that returned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with ail his strength, according to all the law of Moses: neither after him did there arise any like him.
26Toe Manasseh mah palungphuisak pongah, Judah nuiah Angraeng palungphuihaih to dipsak let thai ai.
26But yet the Lord turned not away from the wrath of his great indignation, wherewith his anger was kindled against Juda: because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses had provoked him.
27Angraeng mah, Israel kaminawk ka hmaa hoi takhoe boih baktih toengah, Judahnawk doeh ka takhoe han; Ka Hmin loe, ka qoih ih hae vangpui, Jerusalem hoi to ih ahmuen ah om tih, tiah ka thuih ih im to ka takhoe ving han, tiah a thuih.
27And the Lord said: I will remove Juda also from before my face, as I have removed Israel: and I will cast off this city Jerusalem, which I chose, and the house, of which I said: My name shall be there.
28Josiah siangpahrang ah oh nathung toksakhaihnawk hoi a sak ih hmuennawk loe, Judah siangpahrangnawk ahmin pakuemhaih cabu thungah tarik o na ai maw?
28Now the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
29Josiah siangpahrang dung ah, Izip siangpahrang Faro-Neko loe Euphrate vapui khoek to, Assyria siangpahrang tuk hanah caeh tahang; Josiah siangpahrang loe anih to tuk hanah caeh; Neko mah anih to Megiddo ah hnuk, misa angtuk hoi naah Josiah to anih mah hum.
29In his days Pharao Nechao king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josias went to meet him: and was slain at Mageddo, when he had seen him.
30Josiah ih tamnanawk mah anih ih qok to hrang lakok pongah Megiddo hoi Jerusalem ah phawh o moe, angmah ih taprong ah aphum o. A prae thung ih kaminawk mah Josiah capa Jehoahaz to situi bawh o pacoengah, ampa zuengah siangpahrang ah suek o.
30And his servants carried him dead from Mageddo: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in Iris own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias: and they anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.
31Jehoahaz siangpahrang ah oh nathuem ah, saning pumphae thumto oh boeh; anih mah Jerusalem to khrah thumto thung uk. Anih amno ih ahmin loe, Libnah ah kaom, Jeremiah canu Hamutal.
31Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.
32Ampanawk mah sak ih hmuennawk baktih toengah, anih doeh Angraeng mikhnukah kahoih ai hmuen to sak.
32And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
33Siangpahrang mah Jerusalem to uk han ai ah, Faro-Neko mah anih to Hamath prae Riblah vangpui ah thongim pakhrak moe, Judah kaminawk han phoisa talent cumvaito hoi sui talent maeto tamut paeksak.
33And Pharao Nechao bound him at Rebla, which is in the land of Emath, that he should not reign in Jerusalem: and he set a fine upon the land, of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
34Faro-Neko mah Josiah capa Eliakim to ampa Josiah zuengah siangpahrang ah suek moe, Eliakim to Jehoiakim, tiah ahmin athlaeng pae; toe Jehoahaz loe Izip prae ah misong ah caeh haih; anih loe to ah duek.
34And Pharao Nechao made Eliacim the son of Josias king in the room of Josias his father: and turned his name to Joakim. And he took Joachaz away and carried him into Egypt, and he died there.
35Faro-Neko mah tamut hnik baktih toengah, Jehoiakim mah sui hoi phoisa to paek; prae kaminawk khaeah paek koi angmah ih taham tamut to kok moe, sui hoi phoisa to Faro-Neko hanah paek.
35And Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao, after he had taxed the land for every man, to contribute according to the commandment of Pharao: and he exacted both the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every man according to his ability: to give to Pharao Nechao.
36Jehoiakim loe siangpahrang ah oh naah, saning pumphae pangato oh boeh; anih mah Jerusalem to saning hatlaito thung uk. Amno loe Pedaiah canu Zebidah; anih loe Rumah ah kaom kami ni.
36Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Zebida the daughter of Phadaia of Ruma.
37Ampanawk mah sak o ih hmuennawk baktih toengah, anih mah doeh Angraeng mikhnukah kahoih ai hmuen to sak.
37And he did evil before the Lord according to all that his fathers had done.
