1 Josiah was eight years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for thirty-one years; his mother's name was Jedidah, daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.

[was] a son of Eight year[s] Josiah when became king he and thirty and one year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Jedidah [the] daughter of Adaiah from Bozkath.

2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, walking in the ways of David his father, without turning to the right hand or to the left.

And he did the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he walked in all [the] way of David ancestor his and not he turned aside right [hand] and left [hand].

3 Now in the eighteenth year after he became king, Josiah sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the Lord, saying to him,

And it was in eight-teen year of the king Josiah he sent the king Shaphan [the] son of Azaliah [the] son of Meshullam the scribe [the] house of Yahweh saying.

4 Go up to Hilkiah, the chief priest, and let him give out the money which is taken into the house of the Lord, which the keepers of the door have got together from the people;

Go up to Hilkiah the priest great so he may complete the money which has been brought [the] house of Yahweh which they have gathered [the] keepers of the threshold from with the people.

5 And let it be given to the overseers of the work of the Lord's house, to give to the workmen who are making good what was damaged in the house of the Lord;

(And let them put it *Q(k)*) on [the] hand of [the] doers of the work who were appointed ([the] house of *Q(K)*) Yahweh and let them give it to [the] doers of the work who [are] in [the] house of Yahweh to repair [the] damage of the house.

6 To the woodworkers and the builders and the stone-cutters; and for getting wood and cut stones for the building up of the house.

To the craftsmen and to the builders and to the masons and to acquire wood and stones of hewing to repair the house.

7 They did not have to give any account of the money which was handed to them, for they made use of it with good faith.

Only not it will be accounted for with them the money which is put on hand their for in faithfulness they [are] working.

8 Then Hilkiah, the chief priest, said to Shaphan the scribe, I have made discovery of the book of the law in the house of the Lord. So Hilkiah gave it to Shaphan;

And he said Hilkiah the priest great to Shaphan the scribe [the] scroll of the law I found in [the] house of Yahweh and he gave Hilkiah the scroll to Shaphan and he read it.

9 Then, after reading it, Shaphan the scribe went in to the king and gave him an account of what had been done, saying, Your servants have given out the money which was in the house, and have given it to the overseers of the work of the house of the Lord.

And he went Shaphan the scribe to the king and he brought back the king word and he said they have poured out servants your the money which was found in the house and they have put it on [the] hand of [the] doers of the work who were appointed [the] house of Yahweh.

10 Then Shaphan the scribe said to the king, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book; and he was reading it before the king.

And he told Shaphan the scribe to the king saying a scroll he gave to me Hilkiah the priest and he read aloud it Shaphan before the king.

11 And the king, hearing the words of the book of the law, took his robe in his hands, violently parting it as a sign of his grief;

And it was when heard the king [the] words of [the] scroll of the law and he tore clothes his.

12 And he gave orders to Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Achbor, the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying,

And he commanded the king Hilkiah the priest and Ahikam [the] son of Shaphan and Achbor [the] son of Micaiah and - Shaphan the scribe and Asaiah [the] servant of the king saying.

13 Go and get directions from the Lord for me and for the people and for all Judah, about the words of this book which has come to light; for great is the wrath of the Lord which is burning against us, because our fathers have not given ear to the words of this book, to do all the things which are recorded in it.

Go consult Yahweh for me and for the people and for all Judah on [the] words of the scroll which had been found this for [is] great [the] anger of Yahweh which it it has been kindled in us on that not they listened ancestors our to [the] words of the scroll this to do according to every [thing] written on us.

14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam and Achbor and Shaphan and Asaiah, went to Huldah the woman prophet, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the robes, (now she was living in Jerusalem, in the second part of the town; ) and they had talk with her.

And he went Hilkiah the priest and Ahikam and Achbor and Shaphan and Asaiah to Huldah the prophetess [the] wife of - Shallum [the] son of Tikvah [the] son of Harhas [the] keeper of the garments and she [was] dwelling in Jerusalem in the second district and they spoke to her.

15 And she said to them, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, Say to the man who sent you to me,

And she said to them thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel say to the man who he sent you to me.

16 These are the words of the Lord: See, I will send evil on this place and on its people, even everything which the king of Judah has been reading in the book;

Thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to bring calamity to the place this and on inhabitants its all [the] words of the scroll which he has read [the] king of Judah.

17 Because they have given me up, burning offerings to other gods and moving me to wrath by all the work of their hands; so my wrath will be on fire against this place, and will not be put out.

Because - that they have forsaken me and they have made smoke to gods other so as to provoke to anger me by all [the] work of hands their and it will be kindled anger my in the place this and not it will be quenched.

18 But to the king of Judah who sent you to get directions from the Lord, say, This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said: As to the words which have come to your ears,

And to [the] king of Judah who sent you to consult Yahweh thus you will say to him thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel the words which you have heard.

19 Because your heart was soft, and you made yourself low before me, when you had word of what I said against this place and its people, that they would become a waste and a curse, and you gave signs of grief, weeping before me: truly, I have given ear to you, says the Lord.

Because it was soft heart your and you humbled yourself - from before Yahweh when hearing you [that] which I had spoken on the place this and on inhabitants its to become a horror and a curse and you tore clothes your and you wept before me and also I I have heard [the] utterance of Yahweh.

20 For this cause I will let you go to your fathers and be put in your last resting-place in peace, and your eyes will not see all the evil which I will send on this place. So they took this news back to the king.

Therefore here I [will] gather you to ancestors your and you will be gathered to grave your in peace and not they will look eyes your on all the distress which I [will] bring on the place this and they brought back the king word.
