Mfumuyo inawerenga mawu onse a mʼBuku la Chipangano limene linapezeka mʼNyumba ya Yehova, anthu onse akumva. 3 Mfumu inayimirira pambali pa chipilala ndi kuchita pangano pamaso pa Yehova kuti idzatsatira Yehova ndi kusunga malamulo, mawu ndi malangizo ake ndi mtima wonse ndi moyo wonse, kukwaniritsa mawu a mʼpanganoli, olembedwa mʼbukuli. Pamenepo anthu onse anadzipereka kutsatira panganoli.
4 Mfumu inalamula wansembe wamkulu Hilikiya, ansembe othandizana naye ndi alonda a pa khomo kuti achotse mʼNyumba ya Yehova ziwiya zonse zopembedzera Baala ndi Asera ndiponso mafano a zinthu zamlengalenga. Yosiya anazitentha kunja kwa Yerusalemu, ku minda ya ku Chigwa cha Kidroni ndipo phulusa lake anapita nalo ku Beteli. 5 Iye anachotsa ansembe a mafano amene anayikidwa ndi mafumu a Yuda kuti azifukiza lubani ku malo opembedzera mafano a ku mizinda ya ku Yuda ndi kumalo ozungulira Yerusalemu, amene ankafukiza lubani kwa Baala, dzuwa, mwezi, nyenyezi ndi zinthu zonse zamlengalenga. 6 Anachotsa fano la Asera mʼNyumba ya Yehova napita nalo kunja kwa Yerusalemu, ku Chigwa cha Kidroni, nalitentha kumeneko. Anapera fanolo ndi kukataya phulusa lake pa manda a anthu wamba. 7 Iye anagwetsanso tinyumba ta ochita zachiwerewere, timene tinali mʼNyumba ya Yehova, kumene akazi ankalukirako mikanjo yovala popembedza Asera.
8 Yosiya anabweretsanso ansembe onse kuchokera mʼmizinda ya Yuda, nawononga malo opembedzera mafano, kuyambira ku Geba mpaka ku Beeriseba, kumene ansembe ankafukizako lubani. Anagwetsa nyumba za milungu zimene zinali pa chipata cha Yoswa, bwanamkubwa wa mzindawo, kumanzere kwa chipata cha mzinda. 9 Ngakhale kuti ansembe a ku malo opembedzera mafanowo sanawalole kuti atumikire pa guwa lansembe la Yehova mu Yerusalemu, koma ankadya buledi wopanda yisiti pamodzi ndi ansembe anzawo.
10 Mfumu Yosiya anawononganso Tofeti, amene anali ku Chigwa cha Hinomu, kuti wina aliyense asagwiritse ntchito malowo popereka mwana wake wamwamuna kapena wamkazi pa moto kwa Moleki. 11 Anachotsa pa chipata cholowera ku Nyumba ya Yehova akavalo amene mafumu a Yuda anawapereka ngati nsembe kwa dzuwa. Akavalo anali pafupi ndi bwalo la chipinda cha mkulu wina wotchedwa Natani-Meleki. Ndipo Yosiya anatentha magaleta opembedzera dzuwa.
12 Anagwetsa maguwa amene mafumu a Yuda anawamanga pa denga pafupi ndi chipinda chapamwamba cha Ahazi, ndiponso maguwa amene Manase anamanga mʼmabwalo awiri a Nyumba ya Yehova. Yosiya anawachotsa kumeneko nawaphwanya ndi kutaya zidutswa zake mʼChigwa cha Kidroni. 13 Mfumuyo inawononga malo opembedzera mafano amene ali kummawa kwa Yerusalemu cha kumpoto kwa Phiri la Chiwonongeko. Maguwawa Solomoni mfumu ya Israeli inamangira Asitoreti, fano lalikazi lonyansa la Asidoni, Kemosi, fano lonyansa la Amowabu, ndi Moleki, fano lonyansa la anthu a ku Amoni. 14 Yosiya anaphwanya miyala ya chipembedzo ndiponso anadula mitengo ya fano la Asera ndipo anakwirira malowo ndi mafupa a anthu.
15 Ngakhalenso guwa lansembe la ku Beteli, malo opembedzera mafano amene anapanga Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, amene anachimwitsa Israeli, Yosiya anawononga guwalo ndi malo opembedzera mafanowo. Iye anatentha malo opembedzera mafanowo ndi kuwapera ndipo anatenthanso fano la Asera. 16 Kenaka Yosiya anayangʼanayangʼana ndipo ataona manda amene anali pomwepo, mʼmbali mwa phiri, analamula kuti afukule mandawo ndi kutulutsa mafupa kuti awatenthe paguwapo kuti alidetse, potsatira mawu a Yehova amene munthu wa Mulungu analoseratu za zimenezi.
17 Mfumu inafunsa kuti, “Kodi chizindikiro cha manda chimene ndikuwaonawo ndi chayani?”
Anthu a mu mzindamo anayankha kuti, “Ndi chizindikiro cha manda a munthu wa Mulungu wochokera ku Yuda amene ananeneratu zimene inu mwalichita guwa lansembe la Beteli.”
18 Mfumuyo inati, “Alekeni manda amenewo, munthu asachotse mafupa ake.” Choncho anawasiya mafupa akewo pamodzi ndi mafupa a mneneri wa ku Samariya uja.
19 Monga momwe Yosiya anachitira ku Beteli, anachotsa ndi kuwononga nyumba za milungu zonse ndi malo opembedzera mafano amene mafumu anamanga mʼmizinda ya ku Samariya omwe anakwiyitsa Yehova. 20 Yosiya anapha ansembe onse amene ankatumikira ku malo opembedzera mafano, anawaphera pa maguwa awo ndi kutentha mafupa awo. Kenaka iye anapita ku Yerusalemu.
21 Mfumu inalamula anthu onse kuti, “Chitani Chikondwerero cha Paska kulemekeza Yehova Mulungu wanu, motsatira zomwe zalembedwa mʼBuku la Chipangano.” 22 Paska yotere inali isanachitikepo kuyambira nthawi ya oweruza amene anatsogolera Israeli, kapenanso nthawi yonse ya mafumu a Yuda sipanachitikenso Paska ngati imeneyo. 23 Koma mʼchaka cha 18 cha Mfumu Yosiya, Paska imeneyi anachitira Yehova mu Yerusalemu.
24 Kuwonjezera apa, Yosiya anachotsa anthu a mawula, woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa, milungu ya mʼnyumba, mafano ndiponso zinthu zonse zonyansa zopezeka mu Yuda ndi Yerusalemu. Iye anachita izi pokwaniritsa lamulo lolembedwa mʼbuku limene Hilikiya analipeza mʼNyumba ya Yehova. 25 Yosiyayo asanalowe ufumu, ngakhale atamwalira, panalibenso mfumu ina yofanana naye imene inatembenukira kwa Yehova monga anachitira, ndi mtima wake wonse, ndi moyo wake wonse, ndi mphamvu zake zonse, motsatira Malamulo onse a Mose.
26 Komabe Yehova sanachotse mkwiyo wake woopsa, umene anali nawo pa Yuda chifukwa cha zonse zimene anachita Manase poputa mkwiyo wa Mulungu. 27 Choncho Yehova anati, “Ndidzawachotsanso anthu a ku Yuda pamaso panga monga ndinachotsera anthu a ku Israeli ndipo ndidzawukana mzinda wa Yerusalemu, mzinda umene ndinawusankha, pamodzi ndi Nyumba ino imene ndinati, ‘Dzina langa lidzakhala mʼmenemo.’ ”
28 Ntchito zina za Yosiya ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda?
29 Yosiya akanali mfumu, Farao wotchedwa Neko, mfumu ya Igupto, anapita ku Mtsinje wa Yufurate kukathandiza mfumu ya ku Asiriya. Mfumu Yosiya anapita kukachita naye nkhondo, koma Neko anakumana naye ndi kumupha ku Megido. 30 Atumiki a Yosiyayo ananyamula mtembo wake mu galeta kuchokera ku Megido mpaka ku Yerusalemu ndipo anamuyika mʼmanda akeake. Ndipo anthu a mʼdzikomo anatenga Yehowahazi mwana wa Yosiya namudzoza, ndipo iye analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwa abambo ake.

Farao analamula Yuda kuti azikhoma msonkho wa siliva wolemera makilogalamu 3,400, ndiponso golide wolemera makilogalamu 34. 34 Farao Neko anayika Eliyakimu mwana wa Yosiya kuti akhale mfumu mʼmalo mwa abambo ake Yosiya, ndipo anasintha dzina lake kukhala Yehoyakimu. Koma iye anatenga Yehowahazi kupita naye ku Igupto ndipo anakafera kumeneko. 35 Yehoyakimu anapereka kwa Farao Neko siliva ndi golide amene anamufuna uja. Koma kuti iye apereke zimenezi, amankhometsa msonkho mʼdziko mwakemo ndipo amalandira siliva ndi golide kuchokera kwa anthu a mʼdzikomo molingana ndi chuma cha munthu aliyense.
