22 (A)Yosiya n’atandika okufuga nga wa myaka munaana, era n’afugira mu Yerusaalemi emyaka amakumi asatu mu gumu, ng’erinnya lya nnyina ye Yedida, muwala wa Adaya ow’e Bozukasi. 2 (B)N’akola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, ng’atambulira mu ngeri za jjajjaawe Dawudi, awatali kutaaganaaga.
3 (C)Mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’omunaana ogw’obufuzi bwa kabaka Yosiya, kabaka n’atuma omuwandiisi Safani mutabani wa Azaliya ate muzzukulu wa Mesullamu okulaga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama. N’amugamba nti, 4 (D)“Yambuka eri Kirukiya kabona Asinga obukulu, akutegeeze omuwendo gw’ensimbi ezireeteddwa mu yeekaalu ya Mukama abaggazi ze basoloozezza ku bantu. 5 (E)Ensimbi ezo zikwasibwe abasajja abaalondebwa okulabirira omulimu ogwa yeekaalu basasule abakozi abaddaabiriza yeekaalu ya Mukama, 6 (F)ababazzi, n’abazimbi, n’abaasa b’amayinja. Ate era baguleko n’embaawo n’amayinja amateme nga byonna bya kuddaabiriza yeekaalu. 7 (G)Naye tebabuuzibwa engeri gye bakozesezaamu ensimbi ezo, kubanga basajja abakola n’obwesigwa.”
8 (H)Awo Kirukiya kabona asinga obukulu n’ategeeza Safani omuwandiisi nti, “Ekitabo eky’Amateeka nkizudde we kibadde mu yeekaalu[a].” N’akiwa Safani n’akisoma. 9 Safani omuwandiisi n’addayo eri kabaka n’amugamba nti, “Abakungu bawaddeyo ensimbi ezibadde mu yeekaalu ya Mukama era bazikwasizza abakozi n’abalabirizi ab’omulimu okuzikozesa n’okulabirira enkozesa yaazo.” 10 (I)Ate era Safani omuwandiisi n’ategeeza kabaka nti, “Kirukiya kabona, ampadde ekitabo.” Awo Safani n’akisomera kabaka.
11 Kabaka bwe yawulira ebigambo ebyasomebwa okuva mu Kitabo eky’Amateeka n’ayuza ebyambalo bye. 12 (J)N’alagira Kirukiya kabona, Akikamu mutabani wa Safani, ne Akubooli mutabani wa Mikaaya, ne Safani omuwandiisi, ne Asaya omuweereza wa kabaka nti, 13 (K)“Mugende mumbuulize eri Mukama, nze, n’abantu bange ne Yuda yonna ku bigambo ebiwandiikiddwa mu kitabo kino ekizuuliddwa. Obusungu bwa Mukama bungi nnyo gye tuli olwa bajjajjaffe obutawuliriza bigambo eby’omu kitabo kino, era tebaakola ng’ebyawandiikibwa bino bwe bitugamba.”
14 Awo Kirukiya kabona, ne Akikamu, ne Akubooli, ne Safani, ne Asaya ne bagenda eri Kuluda nnabbi omukyala muka Sallumu mutabani wa Tikuva muzzukulu wa Kalukasi omuwanika w’ebyambalo, okumwebuuzaako. Yabeeranga mu kitundu ekyokubiri mu Yerusaalemi. 15 N’abagamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, 16 (L)‘Mutegeeze oyo abatumye nti ŋŋenda kuleeta ku kifo kino n’abantu bano akabi, ng’ebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo bwe bigamba, kabaka wa Yuda by’asomye. 17 (M)Olw’okunvaako n’olw’okwotereza obubaane eri bakatonda, nga baleetera obusungu bwange okubuubuuka olwa bakatonda be bakoze, ndibaleetako obusungu bwange era tewaliba n’omu alibukkakkanya.’ 18 (N)Naye mugambe kabaka wa Yuda eyabatumye okwebuuza ku Mukama nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ebikwata ku bigambo bye wawulidde: 19 (O)kubanga obadde mumenyefu mu mutima ne weetoowaza mu maaso ga Mukama bwe wawulidde ebigambo ebyo bye nayogedde ku kifo kino ne ku bantu bano, nti baakuzikirira era baggweewo, ate n’oyuza n’ebyambalo byo nga wennyamidde mu maaso gange, mpulidde okukaaba kwo, bw’ayogera Mukama. 20 (P)Kyendiva nkutwala eri bajjajjaabo, n’oziikibwa mu mirembe, era amaaso go tegaliraba kabi kendireeta ku kifo kino.’ ”
Awo ne bazaayo obubaka obwo eri kabaka.

2 Kings 22
New International Version
The Book of the Law Found(A)
22 Josiah(B) was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. His mother’s name was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah; she was from Bozkath.(C) 2 He did what was right(D) in the eyes of the Lord and followed completely the ways of his father David, not turning aside to the right(E) or to the left.
3 In the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah sent the secretary, Shaphan(F) son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, to the temple of the Lord. He said: 4 “Go up to Hilkiah(G) the high priest and have him get ready the money that has been brought into the temple of the Lord, which the doorkeepers have collected(H) from the people. 5 Have them entrust it to the men appointed to supervise the work on the temple. And have these men pay the workers who repair(I) the temple of the Lord— 6 the carpenters, the builders and the masons. Also have them purchase timber and dressed stone to repair the temple.(J) 7 But they need not account for the money entrusted to them, because they are honest in their dealings.”(K)
8 Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the secretary, “I have found the Book of the Law(L) in the temple of the Lord.” He gave it to Shaphan, who read it. 9 Then Shaphan the secretary went to the king and reported to him: “Your officials have paid out the money that was in the temple of the Lord and have entrusted it to the workers and supervisors at the temple.” 10 Then Shaphan the secretary informed the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read from it in the presence of the king.(M)
11 When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law,(N) he tore his robes. 12 He gave these orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam(O) son of Shaphan, Akbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the secretary and Asaiah the king’s attendant:(P) 13 “Go and inquire(Q) of the Lord for me and for the people and for all Judah about what is written in this book that has been found. Great is the Lord’s anger(R) that burns against us because those who have gone before us have not obeyed the words of this book; they have not acted in accordance with all that is written there concerning us.”
14 Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Akbor, Shaphan and Asaiah went to speak to the prophet(S) Huldah, who was the wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the New Quarter.
15 She said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me, 16 ‘This is what the Lord says: I am going to bring disaster(T) on this place and its people, according to everything written in the book(U) the king of Judah has read. 17 Because they have forsaken(V) me and burned incense to other gods and aroused my anger by all the idols their hands have made,[a] my anger will burn against this place and will not be quenched.’ 18 Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire(W) of the Lord, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says concerning the words you heard: 19 Because your heart was responsive and you humbled(X) yourself before the Lord when you heard what I have spoken against this place and its people—that they would become a curse[b](Y) and be laid waste(Z)—and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I also have heard you, declares the Lord. 20 Therefore I will gather you to your ancestors, and you will be buried in peace.(AA) Your eyes(AB) will not see all the disaster I am going to bring on this place.’”
So they took her answer back to the king.
