2 Kings 22
1 Iosiah was eight yeere olde when he beganne to reigne, and hee reigned one and thirtie yeere in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Iedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozcath.
約史雅登基時才八歲，在耶路撒冷作王凡三十一年，他的母親名叫耶狄達，是波茲卡特人阿達雅的女兒。
2 And hee did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the wayes of Dauid his father, and bowed neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
他行了上主視為正義的事，在一切事上，走了他祖先達味的路。不偏左也不偏右。
3 And in the eighteenth yeere of King Iosiah, the King sent Shaphan the sonne of Azaliah the sonne of Meshullam the chanceller to ye house of the Lord, saying,
約史雅為王十八年時，派默叔藍的孫子，沙番書記到上主的殿裏去，吩咐他說：「
4 Goe vp to Hilkiah the high Priest, that hee may summe the siluer which is brought into the house of the Lord, which the keepers of the doore haue gathered of the people.
你去見大司祭希耳克雅，請他將獻於上主聖殿，和守門人由人民收來的銀錢結算清濋，
5 And let them deliuer it into the hande of them that doe the worke, and haue the ouersight of the house of the Lord: let them giue it to them that worke in the house of the Lord, to repaire the decayed places of the house:
交給那些在上主殿內監工的人，叫他們發給那些在上主殿內工作和修理聖殿破壞地方的工人，
6 To wit, vnto the artificers and carpenters and masons, and to bye timber, and hewed stone to repaire the house.
即木匠、工人和泥水匠，或購買修理聖殿的木料和鑿好的石頭。
7 Howebeit, let no rekoning bee made with them of the money, that is deliuered into their hand: for they deale faithfully.
銀子交給他們之後，不必再同他們算帳，因為他們都是辦事很忠信的人。」
8 And Hilkiah the high Priest sayde vnto Shaphan the chanceller, I haue found the booke of the Lawe in the house of the Lord: and Hilkiah gaue the booke to Shaphan, and hee reade it.
大司祭希耳克雅對沙番書記說：「我在上主殿內發現了法律書。」希耳克雅將這卷書交給了沙番，沙番讀了。
9 So Shaphan the chanceller came to ye King, and brought him word againe, and saide, Thy seruants haue gathered the money, that was found in the house, and haue deliuered it vnto the hands of them that doe the worke, and haue the ouersight of the house of the Lord.
沙番書記遂來見君王，向君王報告說：「你的僕人已將聖殿內所有的銀錢倒出來，交給了那些在上主殿內監工的人。」
10 Also Shaphan the chanceller shewed the King saying, Hilkiah the Priest hath deliuered me a booke. And Shaphan read it before the King.
沙番書記繼而又向君王報告說：「大司祭希耳克雅交給我一卷書。」沙番就在君王面前朗讀了那書。
11 And when the King had heard the wordes of the booke of the Law, he rent his clothes.
君王一聽了法律書上的話，就撕裂了自己的衣服，
12 Therefore the King commanded Hilkiah the Priest, and Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan, and Achbor the sonne of Michaiah, and Shaphan the chanceller, and Asahiah the Kings seruant, saying,
即刻吩咐大司祭希耳克雅，沙番的兒子阿希甘，米加的兒子阿革波爾，沙番書記和君王的臣僕阿撒雅說：「
13 Go ye and inquire of the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all Iudah concerning the wordes of this booke that is founde: for great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against vs, because our fathers haue not obeyed the wordes of this booke, to doe according vnto all that which is written therein for vs.
你們為我，為人民，為全猶大，去求問上主關於所發現的書上的話；因為我們的祖先沒有聽從這卷書上的話，也沒有按造這卷書上所記載的去實行，所以上主對我們大發忿怒。」
14 So Hilkiah the Priest and Ahikam, and Achbor and Shaphan, and Asahiah went vnto Huldah the Prophetesse the wife of Shallum, ye sonne of Tikuah, the sonne of Harhas keeper of the wardrobe: (and she dwelt in Ierusalem in the colledge) and they communed with her.
大司祭希耳克雅、阿希甘、阿革波爾、沙番和阿撒雅，於是去見住在耶路撒冷新市區，哈爾哈斯的孫子，提刻瓦的兒子，管理祭衣的沙隆的妻子，女先知胡耳達，向她說明了來意以後，
15 And shee answered them, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Tel the man that sent you to mee,
她就回答他們說：「上主以色列的天主這樣說：你們去回報那派你們來見我的人說說：
16 Thus sayth the Lord, Behold, I wil bring euill vpon this place, and on the inhabitants thereof, euen al the words of the booke which ye King of Iudah hath read,
上主這樣說：看，我必要依照猶大王所讀的那卷書上的一切話：使災禍降在這地方和這地方的居民身上，
17 Because they haue forsaken mee, and haue burnt incense vnto other gods, to anger me with all ye works of their hands: my wrath also shalbe kindled against this place and shall not be queched:
因為他們捨棄了我，向別的神焚香。凡他們所做的，無不惹我動怒；所以我的怒火要向這地方發作，總不熄滅。
18 But to the King of Iudah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, so shall ye say vnto him, Thus sayeth the Lord God of Israel, The wordes that thou hast heard, shall come to passe.
至於那派你們來求問上主的猶大王，你們要這樣對他說：上主以色列的天主這樣說：你既然聽了這些話，
19 But because thine heart did melt, and thou hast humbled thy selfe before the Lord, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants of the same, to wit, that it should be destroyed and accursed, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me, I haue also heard it, saith the Lord.
既然一聽見我指著這地和這地上的居民，說他們必要成為令人驚駭和詛咒的對象，你就動了心，在我面前自卑自賤，撕裂了自己的衣服，在我面前痛哭，因此我也應允了你：上主的斷語。
20 Beholde therefore, I wil gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be put in thy graue in peace, and thine eyes shall not see all the euil, which I will bring vpon this place. Thus they brought the King worde againe.
我要使你與你的祖先團聚，你要平安歸到你的墳墓裏，你的眼睛也不會見到我要在這地方所降的一切災禍。」他們回去向君王報告了這話。
