2 Raja-raja 22
1 Yosia berumur delapan tahun ketika ia menjadi raja Yehuda, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem 31 tahun lamanya. Ibunya bernama Yedida anak Adaya, dari Bozkat.
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.
2 Yosia melakukan yang menyenangkan hati TUHAN. Ia mengikuti teladan Raja Daud leluhurnya, dan mentaati seluruh hukum Allah dengan sepenuhnya.
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.
3 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.
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:
“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.
5 Suruh dia memberikan uang itu kepada para pengawas pekerjaan perbaikan di Rumah TUHAN. Mereka harus mempergunakan uang itu untuk membayar upah
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,
6 para tukang kayu, tukang bangunan, dan tukang batu, serta membeli kayu dan batu yang diperlukan.
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.
7 Para pengawas pekerjaan itu jujur sekali, jadi tak perlu diminta laporan keuangan dari mereka."
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.”
8 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.
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.
9 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.
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.”
10 Kemudian Safan berkata, "Hilkia memberi buku ini kepada saya." Lalu Safan membacakan buku itu kepada raja.
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,
11 Mendengar isi buku itu, raja merobek-robek pakaiannya karena sedih.
and the king had heard the words of the book of the law of the Lord, he tore his garments.
12 Lalu raja memberi perintah ini kepada Imam Hilkia, Ahikam anak Safan, Akhbor anak Mikha, Safan sekretaris negara, dan Asaya ajudan raja:
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:
13 "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."
“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.”
14 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,
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.
15 ia menyuruh mereka kembali kepada raja dan menyampaikan
And she responded to them: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Tell the man who sent you to me:
16 perkataan TUHAN ini: "Aku akan menghukum Yerusalem dan seluruh penduduknya seperti yang tertulis dalam buku yang baru dibaca oleh raja.
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.
17 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.
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.
18 Tetapi mengenai Raja Yosia, inilah pesan-Ku, TUHAN Allah Israel, 'Setelah engkau mendengar apa yang tertulis dalam buku itu,
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,
19 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,
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.
20 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.
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.”
