2 Kings 22

1 A son of eight years [is] Josiah in his reigning, and thirty and one years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jedidah daughter of Adaiah of Boskath,

Octo annorum erat Iosias cum regnare cœpisset, triginta et uno anno regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Idida, filia Hadaia de Besecath.

2 and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walketh in all the way of David his father, and hath not turned aside — right or left.

Fecitque quod placitum erat coram Domino, et ambulavit per omnes vias David patris sui: non declinavit ad dexteram, sive ad sinistram.

3 And it cometh to pass, in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, the king hath sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, 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 unto Hilkiah the high priest, and he doth complete the silver that is brought into the house of Jehovah, that the keepers of the threshold have gathered from the people,

Vade ad Helciam sacerdotem magnum, ut confletur pecunia, quæ illata est in templum Domini, quam collegerunt ianitores templi a populo,

5 and they give it into the hand of the doers of the work, the overseers, in the house of Jehovah, and they give it to the doers of the work that [is] in the house of Jehovah, to strengthen the breach 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 artificers, and to builders, and [to repairers of] the wall, and to buy wood and hewn stones to strengthen the house;

tignariis videlicet et cæmentariis, et iis, qui interrupta componunt: et ut emantur ligna, et lapides de lapicidinis ad instaurandum templum Domini.

7 only, the silver that is given into their hand is not reckoned with them, for in faithfulness they are dealing.

Verumtamen non supputetur eis argentum quod accipiunt, sed in potestate habeant, et in fide.

8 And Hilkiah the high priest saith unto Shaphan the scribe, 'A book of the law I have found in the house of Jehovah;' and Hilkiah giveth the book unto Shaphan, and he readeth it.

Dixit autem Helcias pontifex ad Saphan scribam: Librum Legis reperi in domo Domini: deditque Helcias volumen Saphan, qui et legit illud.

9 And Shaphan the scribe cometh in unto the king, and bringeth the king back word, and saith, 'Thy servants have poured out the silver that hath been found in the house, and give it into the hand of the doers of the work, the inspectors, in 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 And Shaphan the scribe declareth to the king, saying, 'A book hath Hilkiah the priest given to me;' and Shaphan readeth it before the king.

Narravit quoque Saphan scriba regi, dicens: Librum dedit mihi Helcias sacerdos. Quem cum legisset Saphan coram rege,

11 And it cometh to pass, at the king's hearing the words of the book of the law, that he rendeth his garments,

et audisset rex verba Libri Legis Domini, scidit vestimenta sua.

12 and the king commandeth Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Achbor son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah servant of the king, saying,

Et præcepit Helciæ sacerdoti, et Ahicam filio Saphan, et Achobor filio Micha, et Saphan scribæ, et Asaiæ servo regis, dicens:

13 'Go, seek Jehovah for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found, for great [is] the fury of Jehovah that is kindled against us, because that our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according to all that is written for 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 And Hilkiah the priest goeth, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, unto Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum, son of Tikvah, son of Harhas, keeper of the garments, and she is dwelling in Jerusalem in the second, and they speak unto 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 And she saith unto them, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Say to the man who hath sent you unto me:

Et illa respondit eis: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Dicite viro, qui misit vos ad me:

16 Thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am bringing in evil unto this place and on its inhabitants, all the words of the book that the king of Judah hath read,

Hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce, ego adducam mala super locum istum, et super habitatores eius, omnia verba Legis quæ legit rex Iuda:

17 because that they have forsaken Me, and make perfume to other gods, so as to provoke Me to anger with every work of their hands, and My wrath hath been kindled against this place, and it is not 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 'And unto the king of Judah, who is sending you to seek Jehovah, thus do ye say unto him, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, The words that thou hast 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 thy heart [is] tender, and thou art humbled because of Jehovah, in thy hearing that which I have spoken against this place, and against its inhabitants, to be for a desolation, and for a reviling, and dost rend thy garments, and weep before Me — I also have heard — the affirmation of 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, lo, I am gathering thee unto thy fathers, and thou hast been gathered unto thy grave in peace, and thine eyes do not look on any of the evil that I am bringing in on this place;' and they bring the king back word.

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.
