2 Chronicles 34:1-13 in Kannada

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

2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left.

3 For 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 groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.

4 And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and the images, that were on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strowed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them.

5 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.

6 And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about.

7 And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.

8 Now 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 the Lord his God.

9 And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.

10 And they put it in the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the Lord, and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house of the Lord, to repair and amend the house:

11 Even to the artificers and builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

12 And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them 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 other of the Levites, all that could skill of instruments of musick.

13 Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.

1 ಯೋಷೀಯನು ಆಳಲು ಆರಂಭಿಸಿದಾಗ ಎಂಟು ವರುಷದವನಾಗಿದ್ದು ಯೆರೂಸ ಲೇಮಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಮೂವತ್ತೊಂದು ವರುಷ ಆಳಿದನು.
Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.

2 ಅವನು ಕರ್ತನ ಸಮ್ಮುಖದಲ್ಲಿ ಸರಿಯಾದದ್ದನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿದನು; ಎಡಗಡೆಗಾದರೂ ಬಲಗಡೆಗಾದರೂ ತೊಲಗದೆ ತನ್ನ ಪಿತೃವಾದ ದಾವೀದನ ಮಾರ್ಗ ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದನು.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left.

3 ಅವನು ಇನ್ನೂ ಹುಡುಗನಾಗಿರುವಾಗ ತನ್ನ ಆಳ್ವಿಕೆಯ ಎಂಟನೇ ವರುಷದಲ್ಲಿ ತನ್ನ ಪಿತೃವಾದ ದಾವೀದನ ದೇವರನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕಲು ಆರಂಭಿಸಿದನು. ಅವನ ಆಳ್ವಿಕೆಯ ಹನ್ನೆರಡನೇ ವರುಷದಲ್ಲಿ ಉನ್ನತ ಸ್ಥಳಗಳನ್ನೂ ತೋಪುಗಳನ್ನೂ ಕೆತ್ತಿದ ವಿಗ್ರಹಗಳನ್ನೂ ಎರಕಹೊಯಿದ ವಿಗ್ರಹಗಳನ್ನೂ ತೆಗೆದುಹಾಕಿ ಯೆಹೂದ ಯೆರೂಸಲೇಮನ್ನು ಶುಚಿಮಾಡಲು ಆರಂಭಿಸಿದನು.
For 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 groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.

4 ಅವರು ಬಾಳನ ಬಲಿಪೀಠಗಳನ್ನು ಅವನ ಸಮ್ಮುಖದಿಂದ ಕೆಡವಿಹಾಕಿದರು. ಅವುಗಳ ಮೇಲಿರುವ ಸೂರ್ಯಸ್ತಂಭಗಳನ್ನು ಕಡಿದುಹಾಕಿ ತೋಪುಗಳನ್ನೂ ಕೆತ್ತಿದ ವಿಗ್ರಹಗಳನ್ನೂ ಎರಕ ಹೊಯ್ದ ವಿಗ್ರಹಗಳನ್ನೂ ಒಡೆದುಬಿಟ್ಟು ಪುಡಿಪುಡಿ ಮಾಡಿ, ಅವುಗಳಿಗೆ ಬಲಿ ಅರ್ಪಿಸಿದವರ ಸಮಾಧಿ ಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ಚೆಲ್ಲಿಸಿ
And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and the images, that were on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strowed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them.

5 ಪೂಜಾರಿಗಳ ಎಲುಬುಗಳನ್ನು ಅವರ ಬಲಿಪೀಠಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ಸುಟ್ಟುಬಿಟ್ಟು, ಯೆಹೂ ದವನ್ನೂ ಯೆರೂಸಲೇಮನ್ನೂ ಶುಚಿಮಾಡಿದರು.
And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.

6 ಹೀಗೆಯೇ ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಗುದ್ದಲಿಗಳಿಂದ ಮನಸ್ಸೆ ಎಫ್ರಾಯಾಮ್‌ ಸಿಮೆಯೋನ್‌ ಪಟ್ಟಣಗಳು ಮೊದಲು ಗೊಂಡು ನಫ್ತ್ತಾಲಿಯ ವರೆಗೂ ಸುತ್ತಲೂ ಮಾಡಿದರು.
And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about.

7 ಅವನು ಬಲಿಪೀಠಗಳನ್ನೂ ತೋಪುಗಳನ್ನೂ ಕೆಡವಿ ಹಾಕಿ ಕೆತ್ತಿದ ವಿಗ್ರಹಗಳನ್ನು ಕುಟ್ಟಿ ಪುಡಿಪುಡಿ ಮಾಡಿ ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲ್‌ ದೇಶದಲ್ಲೆಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಇರುವ ಸಮಸ್ತ ವಿಗ್ರಹಗಳನ್ನು ಕೆಡಿಸಿದ ತರುವಾಯ ಯೆರೂಸಲೇಮಿಗೆ ಹಿಂತಿರುಗಿದನು.
And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.

8 ಆದರೆ ಯೋಷೀಯನ ಆಳ್ವಿಕೆಯ ಹದಿನೆಂಟನೇ ವರುಷದಲ್ಲಿ ಅವನು ದೇಶವನ್ನೂ ಆಲಯವನ್ನೂ ಶುಚಿಮಾಡಿದ ತರುವಾಯ ತನ್ನ ದೇವರಾದ ಕರ್ತನ ಆಲಯವನ್ನು ದುರಸ್ತುಮಾಡುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಅಚಲ್ಯನ ಮಗ ನಾದ ಶಾಫಾನನನ್ನೂ ಪಟ್ಟಣದ ಅಧಿಪತಿಯಾದ ಮಾಸೇಯನನ್ನೂ ರಾಯಸದವನಾದ ಯೋವಾಹಾ ಜನ ಮಗನಾದ ಯೋವಾಹನನ್ನೂ ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದನು.
Now 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 the Lord his God.

9 ಅವರು ಪ್ರಧಾನ ಯಾಜಕನಾದ ಹಿಲ್ಕೀಯನ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಬಂದು ದ್ವಾರಪಾಲಕರಾದ ಲೇವಿಯರು ಮನಸ್ಸೆ ಎಫ್ರಾ ಯಾಮಿನವರ ಕೈಯಿಂದಲೂ ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲಿನ ಉಳಿದ ವರ ಕೈಯಿಂದಲೂ ಯೆಹೂದ ಬೆನ್ಯಾವಿಾನಿನವರೆ ಲ್ಲರ ಕೈಯಿಂದಲೂ ಕೂಡಿಸಿ ಅದನ್ನು ಯೆರೂಸಲೇ ಮಿಗೆ ತಿರಿಗಿ ಬಂದು ದೇವರ ಆಲಯಕ್ಕೆ ಹಣವನ್ನು ಕೊಟ್ಟರು.
And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.

10 ಕರ್ತನ ಆಲಯದ ಕೆಲಸದವರ ವಿಚಾರ ಕರ ಕೈಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅದನ್ನು ಒಪ್ಪಿಸಿದರು. ಇವರು ಆಲಯ ವನ್ನು ಭದ್ರಪಡಿಸಿ ದುರಸ್ತುಮಾಡಲು ಕರ್ತನ ಆಲ ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುವವರಿಗೆ ಅದನ್ನು ಕೊಟ್ಟರು.
And they put it in the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the Lord, and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house of the Lord, to repair and amend the house:

11 ಕೆತ್ತಿದ ಕಲ್ಲುಗಳನ್ನೂ ಜಂತೆಗಳಿಗೋಸ್ಕರ ಮರಗ ಳನ್ನೂ ಕೊಂಡುಕೊಂಡವರಾಗಿ ಯೆಹೂದದ ಅರಸು ಗಳು ಕೆಡವಿಹಾಕಿದ ಮನೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನೆಲಕ್ಕೆ ಹಾಸುವದ ಕ್ಕೋಸ್ಕರ ಶಿಲ್ಪಿಯವರಿಗೂ ಕಟ್ಟುವವರಿಗೂ ಕೊಟ್ಟರು.
Even to the artificers and builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

12 ಈ ಮನುಷ್ಯರು ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ನಂಬಿಕೆಯಿಂದ ಮಾಡಿ ದರು. ಅವರ ವಿಚಾರಣೆಯ ಕರ್ತರು ಯಾರಂದರೆ: ಮೆರಾರಿಯ ಕುಮಾರರಲ್ಲಿ ಲೇವಿಯರಾದ ಯಹತನೂ ಒಬದ್ಯನೂ; ಕೆಹಾತ್ಯರ ಮಕ್ಕಳಲ್ಲಿ ಜೆಕರೀಯನೂ ಮೆಷುಲ್ಲಾಮನೂ; ಗೀತವಾದ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಬುದ್ಧಿಯುಳ್ಳವ ರಾದ ಲೇವಿಯರೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಅದನ್ನು ನಡಿಸುತ್ತಾ ಇದ್ದರು.
And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them 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 other of the Levites, all that could skill of instruments of musick.

13 ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ಹೊರೆಗಾರರ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ಬೇರೆ ಬೇರೆ ಸೇವೆಯ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ಮಾಡುವವರ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ಅವರು ವಿಚಾರಕರಾಗಿದ್ದರು. ಲೇವಿಯವರಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಲವರು ರಾಯಸದವರೂ ಯಜಮಾನರೂ ದ್ವಾರಪಾಲಕರೂ ಆಗಿದ್ದರು.
Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.
