2 Kings 22
1 Josiah was eight years old when he had begun to reign. He reigned for thirty-one years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah, from Bozkath.
Josías tenía ocho años cuando empezó a reinar, y treinta y un años reinó en Jerusalén. Su madre se llamaba Ididá, hija de Adaías, de Boscat.
2 And he did what was pleasing before the Lord, and he walked in all the ways of his father David. He did not turn aside to the right, or to the left.
Hizo lo que era recto a los ojos de Yahvé, siguiendo en todo el camino de David, su padre, sin apartarse ni a la derecha ni a la izquierda.
3 Then, in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe of the temple of the Lord, saying to him:
El año diez y ocho del rey Josías, el rey envió al secretario Safán, hijo de Asalías, hijo de Mesulam, a la Casa de Yahvé, diciendo:
4 “Go to Hilkiah, the high priest, so that the money may be put together which has been brought into the temple of the Lord, which the doorkeepers of the temple have collected from the people.
“Vete a Helcías, Sumo Sacerdote, y que haga un resumen del dinero que ha ingresado en la Casa de Yahvé, que los guardianes de la puerta han recogido del pueblo.
5 And let it be given, by those in charge of the house of the Lord, to the workers. And let them distribute it to those who are working in the temple of the Lord in order to repair the surfaces of the temple,
Que lo entreguen en manos de los sobrestantes encargados de la obra de la Casa de Yahvé, y ellos lo darán a los que trabajan en la obra de la Casa de Yahvé, para llevar a cabo la reparación de la Casa:
6 specifically, to carpenters and masons, and to those who mend gaps, and so that wood may be purchased, and stones from the quarries, in order to repair the temple of the Lord.
a los carpinteros, a los obreros de construcción y a los albañiles y para compra de maderas y piedras labradas; a fin de reparar la Casa.
7 Yet truly, let no account be given by them of the money that they receive. Instead, let them have it within their power and trust.”
Y no se les pedirá cuenta del dinero que se da en sus manos, porque trabajan con fidelidad.”
8 Then Hilkiah, the high priest, said to Shaphan, the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord.” And Hilkiah gave the volume to Shaphan, and he read it.
Entonces dijo el Sumo Sacerdote al secretario Safán: “He hallado el Libro de la Ley en la Casa de Yahvé.” Y Helcías dio el libro a Safán, el cual lo leyó.
9 Also, Shaphan, the scribe, went to the king, and reported to him what he had instructed. And he said: “Your servants have brought together the money which was found in the house of the Lord. And they have given it so that it would be distributed to the workers by the overseers of the works of the temple of the Lord.”
Volvió el secretario Safán al rey y le dio cuenta, diciendo: “Tus siervos han sacado el dinero que se hallaba en la Casa, y lo han entregado en manos de los sobrestantes que hacen la obra de la Casa de Yahvé.”
10 Also, Shaphan, the scribe, explained to the king, saying, “Hilkiah, the priest, gave the book to me.” And when Shaphan had read it before the king,
El secretario Safán dio también al rey la siguiente noticia: “El sacerdote Helcías me ha dado un libro.” Y Safán lo leyó delante del rey.
11 and the king had heard the words of the book of the law of the Lord, he tore his garments.
Al oír el rey las palabras del Libro de la Ley, rasgó sus vestidos,
12 And he instructed 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:
y dio esta orden al sacerdote Helcías, a Ahicam, hijo de Safán, a Acbor, hijo de Miqueas, a Safán secretario, y a Asaías servidor del rey:
13 “Go and consult the Lord concerning me, and the people, and all of Judah, about the words of this volume which has been found. For the great wrath of the Lord has been kindled against us because our fathers did not listen to the words of this book, so that they would do all that has been written for us.”
“Id y consultad a Yahvé por mí y por el pueblo y por todo Judá, sobre las palabras de este libro que ha sido hallado; porque grande debe ser la ira de Yahvé que se ha encendido contra nosotros, puesto que nuestros padres no han obedecido las palabras de este libro, ni han hecho cuanto nos está prescrito.”
14 Therefore, Hilkiah, the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah, the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, the keeper of the vestments, who was living in Jerusalem, in the second part. And they spoke with her.
El sacerdote Helcías, Ahicam, Acbor, Safán, y Asaías fueron a la profetisa Hulda, mujer de Sellum, el guardarropa, hijo de Tecuá, hijo de Harhás. Habitaba ella en el segundo barrio de Jerusalén. Hablaron, pues, con ella;
15 And she responded to them: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Tell the man who sent you to me:
y ella les respondió: “Así dice Yahvé, el Dios de Israel: Decid al varón que os ha enviado a mí:
16 Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will lead evils over this place, and over its inhabitants, all the words of the law that the king of Judah has read.
Así dice Yahvé: He aquí que haré venir males sobre este lugar, y sobre sus habitantes: todo el contenido del libro que el rey de Judá ha leído.
17 For they have abandoned me, and they have sacrificed to foreign gods, provoking me by all the works of their hands. And so my indignation will be kindled against this place. And it will not be extinguished.
Porque me han abandonado a Mí, y han quemado incienso a otros dioses, irritándome con todas las obras de sus manos. Por eso se ha encendido mi ira contra este lugar, y no se apagará.”
18 But to the king of Judah, who sent you so that you would consult the Lord, so shall you say: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: In so far as you have heard the words of the volume,
Al rey de Judá, que os ha enviado a consultar a Yahvé, diréis esto: “Así dice Yahvé, el Dios de Israel, en lo tocante a las palabras que has leído:
19 and your heart was terrified, and you humbled yourself before the Lord, listening to the words against this place and its inhabitants, specifically, that they would become an astonishment and a curse, and because you have torn your garments, and have wept before me: I also have heard you, says the Lord.
Por cuanto tu corazón se ha conmovido y te has humillado delante de Yahvé, al oír lo que Yo he dicho contra este lugar, y contra sus habitantes, a saber, que serán objeto de espanto y maldición; y porque has rasgado tus vestidos y llorado delante de Mí; por eso te he oído, dice Yahvé.
20 For this reason, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your sepulcher in peace, so that your eyes may not see all the evils that I will bring over this place.”
Por lo tanto te reuniré con tus padres, y serás sepultado en paz, y no verán tus ojos ninguno de los males que descargaré sobre este lugar.” Ellos llevaron al rey esta respuesta.
