23 Ngaia are e a kanakotaeka te uea ao a weteiia ni kabane unimwaanen Iuta ao Ierutarem.+
2 Imwin anne ao e a waerake te uea nakon ana auti Iehova ma aomata ni kabane ni moa man ae e uarereke ni karokoa ae e a kara, aika mwaane ni kabane aika tibun Iuta, kaain Ierutarem ni kabane, ibonga,* ao burabeti. E wareki nakoia ngke a ongora, taeka ni kabane ake ni bokin+ te berita+ are e kuneaki n ana auti Iehova.+
3 E tei te uea i rarikin te boua ao e karaoa te berita* i matan Iehova,+ bwa e na kakairi iroun Iehova ao e na kawakin ana tua, ana kauring, ao ana kaetieti, ma nanona ni kabane ao maiuna* ni kabane, n arona n toui raoi mwin taeka ake n te berita ake a koreaki n te boki arei. Ao a bane aomata ni butimwaea te berita arei.+
4 Ao e tua te uea nakon Irekia+ are te ibonga ae rietata,* ibonga riki ake tabeman, ao taan teiakina te mataroa, bwa a na kaotinakoi man ana tembora Iehova bwaai nako ake a karaoaki ibukini Baara, ibukin te kai are tabu,*+ ao ibukini bwaini karawa ni kabane. Ao e kabueki i tinanikun Ierutarem i rabeeni Kiteron, ao e uotii mannangia nako Betaera.+
5 Mangaia are e kakioianako aia ibonga atua aika ianena, ake a kateirakeaki irouia uean Iuta bwa a na kakabueki karea ni kabubui n taabo aika rietata ni kaawa ake i Iuta ao ni katobibia Ierutarem, n ikotaki naba ma naake a kakabueki karea ni kabubui nakoni Baara, nakon taai, nakon namwakaina, nakon taiani nna n itoi, ao nakoni bwaini karawa ni kabane.+
6 E kaotinakoa naba te kai are tabu*+ man ana auti Iehova nako tabon Ierutarem, nakon te Mwarua ae Kiteron, ao e kabuekia+ n te Mwarua ae Kiteron ao e ikikia ni kamtea ni karokoa ae ai aroni bubun te tano, ao e kamaenakoa bubuna i aon ruanimateia aomata aika mangori.+
7 E urui naba ni kabwakai aia auti mwaanen te tembora aika kakabooaki ibukin te wene ni bure,+ ake n ana auti Iehova, ike a rarangai iai aine rokin autin te kai are tabu.*
8 Ao e kaotinakoia ibonga ni kabane mani kaawa ake i Iuta, ao e kamwaraei taabo aika rietata ike a kakabueki karea iai ibonga ni kabubui, ake mai Keeba+ nako Beerateba.+ E kabwakai naba taabo aika rietata ake ni mataroan te oo ake i rarikini mataroan ana oo Iotua are te mataniwi n te kaawa, ake a mena i angamaingin te kaawa ngkana e rin te aomata ni mataroan oon te kaawa.
9 A aki beku n ana baonikarea Iehova are i Ierutarem ibongan taabo aika rietata,+ ma a kakana te bwerena ae aki karikaki i rarikia tariia.
10 E kamwaraea naba Tobeta+ are n aia Mwarua Natin Innom,*+ bwa e aonga n akea te aomata temanna ae kona ni kabueka natina te mwaane ke natina te aine n te ai nakoni Moreka.+
11 Ao e aki kariaia aoti ake a katabui* uean Iuta nakon taai bwa a na rin n ana auti Iehova, n rinanon ana ruu* Natanmereka are te mataniwi, are e mena n te botikoo.* Ao e kabueki n te ai ana kaa ni buaka taai.+
12 Ao e urui naba baonikarea te uea ake a katei uean Iuta i aon taubukin+ ana ruu Aati are mai eta, n ikotaki ma baonikarea ake e katei Manate ni katawanang ake uoua ake n ana auti Iehova.+ E ibeibei ni kamantintii ao e kamaenakoi bubuia i nanon te Mwarua ae Kiteron.
13 Ao e kamwaraei taabo aika rietata te uea ake i moan Ierutarem nako maiakin* te Maunga n Urubwai,* ake e katei Toromon are uean Iteraera ibukin Nei Atitoreta are atuaia I-Titon ae kamwara, ao ibukini Kemoti are atuaia I-Moaba ae kamwara, ao ibukini Mirekom+ are atuaia tibun Ammon+ ae riribaaki.
14 E kamaeinikuni boua aika tabu ao e korei kaai aika tabu*+ ni kabwakai ao e kaon aia tabo n riia aomata.
15 E urua naba te baonikarea are i Betaera, ao te tabo ae rietata are e karaoia Ieroboam are natin Nebata are e karekeia iai tibun Iteraera n te bure.+ Ngke e a tia n urua te baonikarea anne ma te tabo are rietata, ao e kabueka te tabo are rietata, ao e ikikia ni kamtea ni karokoa ae ai aroni bubun te tano, ao e kabueka te kai are tabu.*+
16 Ngke e rairaki Iotia ao e nori ruanimate i aon te maunga, ao e tua anaakin taian ri man ruanimate akekei ao e kabueki i aon te baonikarea ni kamwaraea iai, ni kaineti ma ana taeka Iehova are e taekinaki iroun ana aomata te Atua ae koaua, are e a kaman taekinna bwa a na riki baikai.+
17 Ao e taku: “Tera atibun te ruanimate are I noria arei?” Ao a kangai mwaanen te kaawa nakoina: “Bon ruanimaten ana aomata te Atua ae koaua are e roko mai Iuta,+ are e a kaman taekini baika ko karaoi n ekaanako te baonikarea are i Betaera.”
18 Mangaia are e taku: “Katikua. Tai kariaia temanna bwa e na kuai riina.” Mangaia are a katikui riina n aki kuai, n ikotaki naba ma riin te burabeti are roko mai Tamaria.+
19 E kanakoi naba Iotia auti n taromauri ni kabane ake n taabo aika rietata, ake ni kaawan nako Tamaria,+ ake a katei uean Iteraera ni kauna iai te Atua, ao e karaoi naba nakoni baikai te aro are e karaoia i Betaera.+
20 Mangaia are e kabaneia ibongan taabo aika rietata ake ikekei ni kareania i aoni baonikarea, ao e kabueki riia aomata i aoia.+ Imwin anne ao e a okira Ierutarem.
21 E a tua ngkai te uea nakoia aomata ni kabane ae kangai: “Karaoa te Toa ae te Riao+ nakon Iehova ae Atuami, n aron ae koreaki ni bokin te berita aei.”+
22 Akea te Toa ae te Riao ae aron aei ae e a tia ni karaoaki n aia bong taani motikitaeka ake a momotiki taekaia tibun Iteraera, ke n aia bong ni kabane uean Iteraera ma uean Iuta.+
23 Ma e karaoaki te Toa ae te Riao aei nakon Iehova i Ierutarem, n ana ka-18 n ririki n tautaeka te Uea are Iotia.
24 Ao Iotia e kanakoia naba taan rorokoia taimonio, taani kaiwani kanoan taai aika a na roko,+ bouannanti aika terebim,*+ bouannanti aika kamwara,* ao bwaai ni kabane aika koro n ribaaki ake a mena n te aba ae Iuta ao i Ierutarem, bwa e aonga ni kakororaoaki taekan te Tua+ ake a koreaki n te boki are e kunea Irekia are te ibonga n ana auti Iehova.+
25 Akea te uea ae ai arona imwaina, ae e okira Iehova ma nanona ni kabane ao maiuna* ni kabane+ ao korakorana ni kabane, ni kaineti ma te tua ni kabane rinanoni Mote, ao akea naba ae ai arona ae e teirake imwina.
26 Ma e ngae n anne, e bon aki rairakinako Iehova man uraraken unna irouia kaain Iuta ibukini bwaai ni kabane aika kamatauninga ake e karaoi Manate ni kaunna iai.+
27 E taku Iehova: “N na kamwaawaia naba kaain Iuta mai matau,+ n arou ngke I kamwaawaia tibun Iteraera.+ N na rawa nakon te kaawa aei are I rineia, ae Ierutarem, ao te auti are I kangai ngkoa ibukina, ‘E na teimatoa ni mena iai arau.’”+
28 Ni kaineti ngkanne ma nikiran rongorongon Iotia ao bwaai ni kabane ake e karaoi, tiaki a koreaki n te boki are rongorongon aia tai uean Iuta?
29 N ana bong teuaei ao e roko Barao Neko are uean Aikubita ni kawara uean Aturia i rarikin te Karaanga ae Iuberetiti, ao e otinako te Uea are Iotia bwa e na kaitaraa, ma ngke e noria Neko ao e a kamatea naba i Mekito.+
30 Mangaia are a katokaa rabwatan teuaei ana toro n te kaa ni buaka mai Mekito, ao a uotia nako Ierutarem ni kaiia n ruanimatena. Ao kaain te aba a kaira Ieoaatia are natin Iotia ao a kabiria ao a kaueaa n onea mwin tamana.+
31 Bon 23 ana ririki Ieoaatia+ ngke e riki bwa te uea, ao e tautaeka i Ierutarem i nanon tenua namwakaina. Aran tinana Amutara+ are natin Ieremia are mai Ribena.
32 Ao e karaoa ae buakaka i matan Iehova, ni kaineti ma bwaai ni kabane ake a karaoi ana bakatibu.+
33 Ao Barao Neko+ e kamatawarika teuaei i Ribera+ n te aba are Amata, bwa e na aki tautaeka i Ierutarem, ao imwina e karokoa te tuuaa i aon te aba ae 100 te tarena* n tirewa ao teuana te tarena ni koora.+
34 Irarikin anne, ao Barao Neko e kaueaa natin Iotia are Eriakim n onea mwin Iotia are tamana, ao e bita aran teuaei nakon Ieoiakim, ma e kaira Ieoaatia nako Aikubita+ ike e a mate iai.+
35 Ao e anga te tirewa ma te koora Ieoiakim nakoni Barao, ma e tua kabwakaan te taekiti man te aba bwa e aonga n angani Barao te tirewa are e tua. E rikoa te tirewa ma te koora n te mwaiti ae katauaki ibukia aomata n tatabemania nako ake n te aba, bwa e na angani Barao Neko.
36 Bon 25 ana ririki Ieoiakim+ ngke e riki bwa te uea, ao e tautaeka i Ierutarem i nanon 11 te ririki.+ Aran tinana Tebita are natini Betaia are mai Rumwa.
37 E teimatoa ni karaoa ae buakaka i matan Iehova,+ ni kaineti ma bwaai ni kabane ake a karaoi ana bakatibu.+
