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 the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.
Octo annorum erat Iosias cum regnare cœpisset, triginta et uno anno regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Idida, filia Hadaia de Besecath.
2 He did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walked in all the way of David his father, and did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
Fecitque quod placitum erat coram Domino, et ambulavit per omnes vias David patris sui: non declinavit ad dexteram, sive ad sinistram.
3 It happened in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of Jehovah, saying,
Anno autem octavo decimo regis Iosiæ, misit rex Saphan filium Aslia, filii Messulam scribam templi Domini, dicens ei:
4 "Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may melt down the silver which is brought into the house of Jehovah, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered of the people.
Vade ad Helciam sacerdotem magnum, ut confletur pecunia, quæ illata est in templum Domini, quam collegerunt ianitores templi a populo,
5 Let them deliver it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of Jehovah; and let them give it to the workmen who are in the house of Jehovah, to repair the breaches of the house,
deturque fabris per præpositos domus Domini: qui et distribuant eam his qui operantur in templo Domini, ad instauranda sartatecta templi:
6 to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house.
tignariis videlicet et cæmentariis, et iis, qui interrupta componunt: et ut emantur ligna, et lapides de lapicidinis ad instaurandum templum Domini.
7 However there was no accounting made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand; for they dealt faithfully."
Verumtamen non supputetur eis argentum quod accipiunt, sed in potestate habeant, et in fide.
8 Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, "I have found the scroll of the law in the house of Jehovah." Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
Dixit autem Helcias pontifex ad Saphan scribam: Librum Legis reperi in domo Domini: deditque Helcias volumen Saphan, qui et legit illud.
9 Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, "Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of Jehovah."
Venit quoque Saphan scriba ad regem, et renunciavit ei quod præceperat, et ait: Conflaverunt servi tui pecuniam, quæ reperta est in domo Domini: et dederunt ut distribueretur fabris a præfectis operum templi Domini.
10 Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, "Hilkiah the priest has delivered a scroll to me." Shaphan read it before the king.
Narravit quoque Saphan scriba regi, dicens: Librum dedit mihi Helcias sacerdos. Quem cum legisset Saphan coram rege,
11 It happened, when the king had heard the words of the scroll of the law, that he tore his clothes.
et audisset rex verba Libri Legis Domini, scidit vestimenta sua.
12 The king commanded 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,
Et præcepit Helciæ sacerdoti, et Ahicam filio Saphan, et Achobor filio Micha, et Saphan scribæ, et Asaiæ servo regis, dicens:
13 "Go inquire of Jehovah for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this scroll that is found; for great is the wrath of Jehovah that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this scroll, to do according to all that which is written concerning us."
Ite et consulite Dominum super me, et super populo, et super omni Iuda, de verbis voluminis istius, quod inventum est: magna enim ira Domini succensa est contra nos: quia non audierunt patres nostri verba Libri huius, ut facerent omne quod scriptum est nobis.
14 So 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, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked with her.
Ierunt itaque Helcias sacerdos, et Ahicam, et Achobor, et Sapham, et Asaia, ad Holdam prophetidem, uxorem Sellum filii Thecuæ, filii Araas custodis vestium, quæ habitabat in Ierusalem in Secunda: locutique sunt ad eam.
15 She said to them, "Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel: 'Tell the man who sent you to me,
Et illa respondit eis: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Dicite viro, qui misit vos ad me:
16 "Thus says Jehovah, 'Look, I will bring disaster on this place, and on its inhabitants, even all the words of the scroll which the king of Judah has read.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce, ego adducam mala super locum istum, et super habitatores eius, omnia verba Legis quæ legit rex Iuda:
17 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.'"
quia dereliquerunt me, et sacrificaverunt diis alienis, irritantes me in cunctis operibus manuum suarum: et succendetur indignatio mea in loco hoc, et non extinguetur.
18 But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Jehovah, thus you shall tell him, "Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel: 'Concerning the words which you have heard,
Regi autem Iuda, qui misit vos ut consuleretis Dominum, sic dicetis: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Pro eo quod audisti verba voluminis,
19 because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before Jehovah, when you heard what I spoke against this place, and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have torn your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard you,' says Jehovah.
et perterritum est cor tuum, et humiliatus es coram Domino, auditis sermonibus contra locum istum, et habitatores eius, quod videlicet fierent in stuporem et in maledictum: et scidisti vestimenta tua, et flevisti coram me, et ego audivi, ait Dominus:
20 'Therefore look, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, neither shall your eyes see all the disaster which I will bring on this place.'"'" They brought back this message to the king.
idcirco colligam te ad patres tuos, et colligeris ad sepulchrum tuum in pace, ut non videant oculi tui omnia mala quæ inducturus sum super locum istum.
