2 Kings 22
1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jedidah, daughter of Adaiah of Bozcath.
Yosia berumur delapan tahun ketika ia menjadi raja Yehuda, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem 31 tahun lamanya. Ibunya bernama Yedida anak Adaya, dari Bozkat.
2 And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand nor to the left.
Yosia melakukan yang menyenangkan hati TUHAN. Ia mengikuti teladan Raja Daud leluhurnya, dan mentaati seluruh hukum Allah dengan sepenuhnya.
3 And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, [that] the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of Jehovah, saying,
Raja Yosia mempunyai seorang sekretaris negara yang bernama Safan anak Azalya, cucu Mesulam. Pada tahun kedelapan belas pemerintahan Raja Yosia, raja memberi perintah ini kepada sekretarisnya itu, "Pergilah kepada Imam Agung Hilkia di Rumah TUHAN, dan mintalah dia memberi laporan tentang jumlah uang yang telah dikumpulkan oleh para imam yang bertugas di pintu masuk Rumah TUHAN.
4 Go up to Hilkijah the high priest, that he may sum up the money which is brought into the house of Jehovah, which the doorkeepers have gathered of the people,
5 and let them give it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of Jehovah; and let them give it to those that do the work in the house of Jehovah, to repair the breaches of the house,
Suruh dia memberikan uang itu kepada para pengawas pekerjaan perbaikan di Rumah TUHAN. Mereka harus mempergunakan uang itu untuk membayar upah
6 to the carpenters and the builders and the masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.
para tukang kayu, tukang bangunan, dan tukang batu, serta membeli kayu dan batu yang diperlukan.
7 But no reckoning was made with them of the money that was given into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.
Para pengawas pekerjaan itu jujur sekali, jadi tak perlu diminta laporan keuangan dari mereka."
8 And Hilkijah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of Jehovah. And Hilkijah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
Safan menyampaikan perintah raja kepada Hilkia, lalu Hilkia menceritakan kepada Safan bahwa ia telah menemukan buku hukum-hukum TUHAN di Rumah TUHAN. Hilkia memberikan buku itu kepada Safan, dan Safan membacanya.
9 And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again and said, Thy servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of Jehovah.
Setelah itu Safan kembali kepada raja dan melaporkan bahwa uang yang disimpan di Rumah TUHAN telah diambil dan diserahkan oleh para hamba raja kepada para pengawas pekerjaan perbaikan di Rumah TUHAN.
10 And Shaphan the scribe informed the king saying, Hilkijah the priest has given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
Kemudian Safan berkata, "Hilkia memberi buku ini kepada saya." Lalu Safan membacakan buku itu kepada raja.
11 And it came to pass when the king heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his garments.
Mendengar isi buku itu, raja merobek-robek pakaiannya karena sedih.
12 And the king commanded Hilkijah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king, saying,
Lalu raja memberi perintah ini kepada Imam Hilkia, Ahikam anak Safan, Akhbor anak Mikha, Safan sekretaris negara, dan Asaya ajudan raja:
13 Go, inquire of Jehovah for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book which is found; for great is the wrath of Jehovah that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened to the words of this book, to do according to all that is written [there] for us.
"Pergilah bertanya kepada TUHAN untuk aku dan untuk seluruh rakyat Yehuda mengenai isi buku ini. TUHAN marah kepada kita karena leluhur kita tidak menjalankan perintah-perintah yang tertulis di dalamnya."
14 And Hilkijah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe: now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter [of the town]; and they spoke with her.
Maka pergilah Hilkia, Ahikam, Akhbor, Safan dan Asaya meminta petunjuk kepada seorang wanita bernama Hulda. Ia seorang nabi yang tinggal di perkampungan baru di Yerusalem. Suaminya bernama Salum anak Tikwa, cucu Harhas; ia pengurus pakaian ibadat di Rumah TUHAN. Setelah Hulda mendengar keterangan mereka,
15 And she said to them, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Tell the man that sent you to me,
ia menyuruh mereka kembali kepada raja dan menyampaikan
16 Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place and upon the inhabitants thereof, all the words of the book that the king of Judah hath read.
perkataan TUHAN ini: "Aku akan menghukum Yerusalem dan seluruh penduduknya seperti yang tertulis dalam buku yang baru dibaca oleh raja.
17 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my fury is kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.
Mereka telah meninggalkan Aku dan mempersembahkan kurban kepada ilah-ilah lain. Semua yang mereka lakukan membangkitkan kemarahan-Ku. Aku marah kepada Yerusalem, dan kemarahan-Ku tidak bisa diredakan.
18 But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Jehovah, thus shall ye say to him: Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel touching the words which thou hast heard:
Tetapi mengenai Raja Yosia, inilah pesan-Ku, TUHAN Allah Israel, 'Setelah engkau mendengar apa yang tertulis dalam buku itu,
19 Because thy heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before Jehovah, when thou heardest what I spoke against this place and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and didst rend thy garments and weep before me, I also have heard [thee], saith Jehovah.
engkau menyesal dan merendahkan diri di hadapan-Ku. Aku telah mengancam untuk menghukum Yerusalem dan penduduknya. Aku akan menjadikan kota itu suatu pemandangan yang mengerikan, dan nama Yerusalem akan Kujadikan nama kutukan. Tapi ketika engkau mendengar tentang ancaman-Ku itu engkau menangis dan merobek pakaianmu tanda sedih. Aku telah mendengar doamu,
20 Therefore, behold, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil that I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
karena itu hukuman atas Yerusalem tidak akan Kujatuhkan selama engkau masih hidup. Engkau akan meninggal dengan damai.'" Maka kembalilah utusan-utusan itu kepada raja dan menyampaikan pesan itu.
