Ndele yo oya lesha eendjovo adishe domembo lehangano, lo la monika mongulu yOmwene, yo oye li leshela momatwi avo. 3 Nohamba ya kala ofika pongudi ndele tai ningi ehangano nOmwene koshipala shOmwene, nokutya vo ve nokudiinina nomutima aushe nomwenyo aushe oipango yaye neendobwedi daye neenghedimhango daye, opo va diinine eendjovo odo da shangelwa membo olo. Novanhu aveshe ve uya mehangano olo.
Josia ta hanauna po oihongwafano yomotembeli
4 Opo nee ohamba tai lombwele omupristeli omukulunhu Hilkia novapristeli ve mu shikula novanangeli vopoivelo, va kufe mo motembeli oinima aishe ya ningilwa Baal naAsera neengudu adishe dokeulu. Ndele ve i xwika po pondje yaJerusalem kepumbu laKidron ndele omute wayo ve u twala kuBetel. 5 Ndele yo oya lekela yo ovapristeli voikalunga ava va tulwa moshilonga keehamba daJuda, ava va twimina koikulundu nomoushiinda waJerusalem, nosho yo venya va twiminina Baal netango nohani neengudu deenyofi nongudu aishe yokeulu. 6 Ndele ya kufa mo mongulu yOmwene Asera ndele ye shi twala pondje yaJerusalem, ndele ye shi xwika po pokamulonga kaKidron ndele ye shi twa ondwi, nondwi ye i ekelashi komaendo ovafyoona. 7 Ndele yo oya hanauna po eengulu domashenge odo da li mongulu yOmwene, mudo ovakainhu va tungila Asera omalapi oulenga.
8 Ndele oya ifana ovapristeli aveshe vomoilando yaJuda, ndele ya nyatekifa oikulundu yeealtari, oko ovapristeli va twimina, okudja kuGeba fiyo okuBerseba. Ndele yo oya hanauna po oikulundu yeealtari da li poivelo, naasho yo sha kala poshivelo shaJosua, omukulunhu woshilando, kolumosho omunhu ngeenge ta i mo moshivelo shoshilando. 9 Ovapristeli voikulundu yeealtari inava itavelwa okulonda koaltari yOmwene muJerusalem. Vo ova itavelwa okulya omungome uhe nonhafi pamwe navakwao. 10 Yo oya nyatekifa yo Tofet, sho sha li mefilu lovana vaHinnom, paha kale nande umwe ta endifile Molek ovana vaye ovamati ile oukadona momundilo. 11 Ndele yo ya kufa po eenghambe, eehamba daJuda de di yandjela okufimaneka etango, poshivelo shongulu yOmwene, pokandjuwo kelenga Natan-Melek lo la kala moushiinda woshilando, nomatemba etango yo ye a xwika po nomundilo. 12 Navali ohamba ya ngumauna po eealtari da li konduda yokangulu kopombada kaAhas, odo da ningwa keehamba daJuda, neealtari odo Manasse a tungila moihale ivali yomongulu yOmwene, ndele ya twa, nondwi yomuyo ye i ekelashi mokamulonga Kidron. 13 Nohamba ya nyatekifa oikulundu yokoushilo wokuJerusalem, koumbuwanhu wOmhunda yEnyonauko, oyo ya tungwa kuSalomo, ohamba yaIsrael, okufimanekifa Astarte, oixuna yOvasidoni, naKemosh, oixuna yOvamoab, naMilkom, oixuna yovana vaAmmoni. 14 Ndele yo oya teyaula eengudi domamanya ndele tai ke omiti domalupwelele daAsera neenhele dao yo ye di yadifa nomakipa ovanhu.
15 Nosho yo ya ngumauna po oaltari ya li muBetel, oshikulundu sha tungwa kuJerobeam yaNebat, ou a hongaulila Israel mokunyona, oaltari osho yo oshikulundu e shi hanauna po, ndele e shi ndongola nolupwelele laAsera e li xwika po. 16 Josia eshi a pilamena ko, okwa mona eembila da li komhunda. Okwa tuma ko, va ka kufe omakipa omeembila, nokwe a xwika po koaltari nokwe shi nyatekifa pandjovo yOmwene, omulumenhu waKalunga kwe di udaneka, ou a xunganeka oinima ei. 17 Opo nee ye ta ti: “Oshidimbulukifomanya eshi shokombila, ndi shi wete, oshilipipo?” Novalumenhu vomoshilando ve mu nyamukula: “Oyo ombila yomulumenhu waKalunga, a dile kuJuda nokwa xunganeka oinima ei, ove we i ningila oaltari yomuBetel.” 18 Opo nee ye ta ti: “Na kale nombili, nande umwe a kufe omakipa aye.” Ndele va efa omakipa aye a kale pamwe nomakipa omuxunganeki wokuSamaria, a kale nombili. 19 Neetembeli yo adishe domoikulundu yo ya li moilando yaSamaria, odo da tungwa keehamba daIsrael, opo va handukife Omwene, Josia e di ngumauna po nokwa ninga nado ngaashi a ninga muBetel. 20 Novapristeli aveshe voikulundu va li ko okwe va toma keealtari nokwa xwika po kuyo omakipa ovanhu ndele ta shuna kuJerusalem.
21 Opo nee ohamba ya lombwela oshiwana ashishe, tai ti: “Daneni Opaasa yOmwene Kalunga keni, ngaashi pa shangelwa membo lehangano.” 22 Osheshi Opaasa oyo inai danwa nghee omafiku ovatokolipangeli vaIsrael va pangela nomomafiku aeshe aa eehamba daIsrael nodaJuda. 23 Ndelenee momudo omutimulongo nomutihetatu wohamba Josia, Opaasa ei yOmwene ya danenwa muJerusalem. 24 Josia okwa komba po ovaifani veemhepo dovafi novamonikokule noihongwakalunga yomeumbo noikalunga noififahoni aishe oyo ya li moshilongo shaJuda nomuJerusalem, opo a pameke eendjovo domhango, odo da shangelwa membo, omupristeli Hilkia e li mona mongulu yOmwene. 25 Ndele kakwa li nande ohamba imwe komesho yaye ngaashi ye, ou e lidilulula e liyandja kOmwene nomutima waye aushe nomwenyo waye aushe neenghono daye adishe pamhango aishe yaMoses, ndele konima yaye inapa holoka nande imwe ngaashi ye. 26 Ndelenee Omwene ina handukuluka nande koupyuhandu waye munene nao ehandu laye la xwamena Juda omolwomahandukifo aeshe Manasse e mu handukifa. 27 NOmwene okwa tile: “Ame ohandi ka ekelashi Juda ngaashi nda ekelashi Israel koshipala shange. Naame ohandi ka ekelashi oshilando eshi Jerusalem nde shi hoolola, nongulu oyo nde i popya: Edina lange tali ka kala muyo.”
28 Noinima imwe tai hepaulula Josia naaishe e i ninga, inai shangelwa mbela membo lomafimbo eehamba daJuda? 29 Pomafiku aye Farao Neko, ohamba yaEgipiti, ya homona ohamba yaAsiria komulonga waEufrat. Ohamba Josia oye ke mu shakeneka ko, Ndelenee Farao okwe mu dipaa muMegido divadiva, eshi ye mu mona. 30 Novapiya vaye ve mu twala a fya metemba, va dja kuMegido, ve mu eta kuJerusalem, ndele ve mu paka mombila yaye. Novanhu vomoshilongo va kufa Joahas yaJosia, nove mu vaeka ndele ve mu ninga ohamba ponhele yaxe.

Ndelenee okwa yeleka omapya, opo a dule okufuta oimaliwa palombwelo laFarao. Pafendelo lakeshe, okwa tambula oshisiliveli noshingoldo shoonakukalamo moshilongo nokwe shi tumina Farao Neko.
36 Omido daJehoiakim da li omilongo mbali nanhano, ye eshi a ninga ohamba. Nokwa pangela omido omulongo nomudo umwe muJerusalem. Nedina laina la li Sebida, omona waPedaja womuRuma. 37 Ndele ye okwa ninga osho inashi yuka momesho Omwene, ngaashi ooxe va ninga.
