2 Raja-raja 22
1 Yosia berumur delapan tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan tiga puluh satu tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Yedida binti Adaya, dari Bozkat.
Josiah was eight years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for thirty-one years; his mother's name was Jedidah, daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.
2 Ia melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN dan hidup sama seperti Daud, bapa leluhurnya, dan tidak menyimpang ke kanan atau ke kiri.
He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, walking in the ways of David his father, without turning to the right hand or to the left.
3 Dalam tahun yang kedelapan belas zaman raja Yosia maka raja menyuruh Safan bin Azalya bin Mesulam, panitera itu, ke rumah TUHAN, katanya:
Now in the eighteenth year after he became king, Josiah sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the Lord, saying to him,
4 "Pergilah kepada imam besar Hilkia; suruhlah ia menyerahkan seluruh uang yang telah dibawa ke dalam rumah TUHAN yang telah dikumpulkan dari pihak rakyat oleh penjaga-penjaga pintu;
Go up to Hilkiah, the chief priest, and let him give out the money which is taken into the house of the Lord, which the keepers of the door have got together from the people;
5 baiklah itu diberikan mereka ke tangan para pekerja yang diangkat untuk mengawasi rumah TUHAN, supaya diberikan kepada tukang-tukang yang ada di rumah TUHAN untuk memperbaiki kerusakan rumah itu,
And let it be given to the overseers of the work of the Lord's house, to give to the workmen who are making good what was damaged in the house of the Lord;
6 yaitu kepada tukang-tukang kayu, tukang-tukang bangunan dan tukang-tukang tembok, juga bagi pembelian kayu dan batu pahat untuk memperbaiki rumah itu.
To the woodworkers and the builders and the stone-cutters; and for getting wood and cut stones for the building up of the house.
7 Tetapi tidak usahlah mengadakan perhitungan dengan mereka mengenai uang yang diberikan ke tangan mereka, sebab mereka bekerja dengan jujur."
They did not have to give any account of the money which was handed to them, for they made use of it with good faith.
8 Berkatalah imam besar Hilkia, kepada Safan, panitera itu: "Telah kutemukan kitab Taurat itu di rumah TUHAN!" Lalu Hilkia memberikan kitab itu kepada Safan, dan Safan terus membacanya.
Then Hilkiah, the chief priest, said to Shaphan the scribe, I have made discovery of the book of the law in the house of the Lord. So Hilkiah gave it to Shaphan;
9 Kemudian Safan, panitera itu, masuk menghadap raja, disampaikannyalah kabar tentang itu kepada raja: "Hamba-hambamu ini telah mengambil seluruh uang yang terdapat di rumah TUHAN dan memberikannya ke tangan para pekerja yang diangkat mengawasi rumah itu."
Then, after reading it, Shaphan the scribe went in to the king and gave him an account of what had been done, saying, Your servants have given out the money which was in the house, and have given it to the overseers of the work of the house of the Lord.
10 Safan, panitera itu, memberitahukan juga kepada raja: "Imam Hilkia telah memberikan kitab kepadaku," lalu Safan membacakannya di depan raja.
Then Shaphan the scribe said to the king, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book; and he was reading it before the king.
11 Segera sesudah raja mendengar perkataan kitab Taurat itu, dikoyakkannyalah pakaiannya.
And the king, hearing the words of the book of the law, took his robe in his hands, violently parting it as a sign of his grief;
12 Kemudian raja memberi perintah kepada imam Hilkia, kepada Ahikam bin Safan, kepada Akhbor bin Mikha, kepada Safan, panitera itu, dan kepada Asaya, hamba raja, katanya:
And he gave orders to 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,
13 "Pergilah, mintalah petunjuk TUHAN bagiku, bagi rakyat dan bagi seluruh Yehuda, tentang perkataan kitab yang ditemukan ini, sebab hebat kehangatan murka TUHAN yang bernyala-nyala terhadap kita, oleh karena nenek moyang kita tidak mendengarkan perkataan kitab ini dengan berbuat tepat seperti yang tertulis di dalamnya."
Go and get directions from the Lord for me and for the people and for all Judah, about the words of this book which has come to light; for great is the wrath of the Lord which is burning against us, because our fathers have not given ear to the words of this book, to do all the things which are recorded in it.
14 Maka pergilah imam Hilkia, Ahikam, Akhbor, Safan dan Asaya kepada nabiah Hulda, isteri seorang yang mengurus pakaian-pakaian, yaitu Salum bin Tikwa bin Harhas; nabiah itu tinggal di Yerusalem, di perkampungan baru. Mereka memberitakan semuanya kepadanya.
So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam and Achbor and Shaphan and Asaiah, went to Huldah the woman prophet, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the robes, (now she was living in Jerusalem, in the second part of the town; ) and they had talk with her.
15 Perempuan itu menjawab mereka: "Beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah Israel! Katakanlah kepada orang yang menyuruh kamu kepada-Ku!
And she said to them, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, Say to the man who sent you to me,
16 Beginilah firman TUHAN: Sesungguhnya Aku akan mendatangkan malapetaka atas tempat ini dan atas penduduknya, yakni segala perkataan kitab yang telah dibaca oleh raja Yehuda;
These are the words of the Lord: See, I will send evil on this place and on its people, even everything which the king of Judah has been reading in the book;
17 karena mereka meninggalkan Aku dan membakar korban kepada allah lain dengan maksud menimbulkan sakit hati-Ku dengan segala pekerjaan tangan mereka; sebab itu kehangatan murka-Ku akan bernyala-nyala terhadap tempat ini dengan tidak padam-padam.
Because they have given me up, burning offerings to other gods and moving me to wrath by all the work of their hands; so my wrath will be on fire against this place, and will not be put out.
18 Tetapi kepada raja Yehuda, yang telah menyuruh kamu untuk meminta petunjuk TUHAN, harus kamu katakan demikian: Beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah Israel: Mengenai perkataan yang telah kaudengar itu,
But to the king of Judah who sent you to get directions from the Lord, say, This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said: As to the words which have come to your ears,
19 oleh karena engkau sudah menyesal dan engkau merendahkan diri di hadapan TUHAN pada waktu engkau mendengar hukuman yang Kufirmankan terhadap tempat ini dan terhadap penduduknya, bahwa mereka akan mendahsyatkan dan menjadi kutuk, dan oleh karena engkau mengoyakkan pakaianmu dan menangis di hadapan-Ku, Akupun telah mendengarnya, demikianlah firman TUHAN,
Because your heart was soft, and you made yourself low before me, when you had word of what I said against this place and its people, that they would become a waste and a curse, and you gave signs of grief, weeping before me: truly, I have given ear to you, says the Lord.
20 sebab itu, sesungguhnya Aku akan mengumpulkan engkau kepada nenek moyangmu, dan engkau akan dikebumikan ke dalam kuburmu dengan damai, dan matamu tidak akan melihat segala malapetaka yang akan Kudatangkan atas tempat ini." Lalu mereka menyampaikan jawab itu kepada raja.
For this cause I will let you go to your fathers and be put in your last resting-place in peace, and your eyes will not see all the evil which I will send on this place. So they took this news back to the king.
