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 the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 31 years. His mother was Jedidah and his grandfather was Adaiah from Bozkath [town].
2 Ia melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN dan hidup sama seperti Daud, bapa leluhurnya, dan tidak menyimpang ke kanan atau ke kiri.
Josiah did things that were pleasing to Yahweh and conducted his life as his ancestor King David had done. He completely obeyed [IDM] all the laws of God.
3 Dalam tahun yang kedelapan belas zaman raja Yosia maka raja menyuruh Safan bin Azalya bin Mesulam, panitera itu, ke rumah TUHAN, katanya:
After Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years, he sent his secretary Shaphan, the son of Azaliah and grandson of Meshullam, to the temple with these instructions:
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 to Hilkiah, the Supreme Priest, and tell him to give me a report, telling me how much money the men who guard the doors of the temple have collected from the people [as offerings].
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,
Then tell him to give all that money to the men who are supervising the work of repairing the temple.
6 yaitu kepada tukang-tukang kayu, tukang-tukang bangunan dan tukang-tukang tembok, juga bagi pembelian kayu dan batu pahat untuk memperbaiki rumah itu.
They must give that money to the carpenters, the builders, and the masons, and they should also buy the timber and the stones that they will use to repair the temple.
7 Tetapi tidak usahlah mengadakan perhitungan dengan mereka mengenai uang yang diberikan ke tangan mereka, sebab mereka bekerja dengan jujur."
But the men who supervise the work will not be required to make a report on the money that is given to them, saying what they spent it for, because those men are completely honest.”
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.
[After Shaphan said that to Hilkiah] the king’s secretary, Hilkiah said to Shaphan, “I have found in the temple a scroll on which is written the laws [that God gave to Moses]!” Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan, and he started to read it.
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 Shaphan [took the scroll] to the king and said to him, “Your temple guards have taken the money that was in the temple, and they have given it to the men who will supervise the work of repairing the temple.”
10 Safan, panitera itu, memberitahukan juga kepada raja: "Imam Hilkia telah memberikan kitab kepadaku," lalu Safan membacakannya di depan raja.
Then Shaphan said to the king, [“I have brought to you] a scroll that Hilkiah gave to me.” And Shaphan started to read it to the king.
11 Segera sesudah raja mendengar perkataan kitab Taurat itu, dikoyakkannyalah pakaiannya.
When the king heard the laws that were written in the scroll that Shaphan was reading to him, he tore his clothes [because he was very dismayed].
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:
Then he gave these instructions to Hilkiah, to Shaphan’s son Ahikam, to Micaiah’s son Achbor, and to Asaiah, the king’s special advisor:
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 ask Yahweh for me and for all the people of Judah, about what is written in this scroll that has been found. Because [it is clear that] Yahweh is very angry with us because our ancestors disobeyed what was written on this scroll, things that we [should have done].”
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, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to (consult/talk with) a woman whose name was Huldah, who was a prophetess who lived in the newer/northern part of Jerusalem. Her husband Shallum, son of Tikvah and grandson of Harhas, took care of the robes that were worn [in the temple] (OR, [by the king]). [Those five men told her about the scroll].
15 Perempuan itu menjawab mereka: "Beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah Israel! Katakanlah kepada orang yang menyuruh kamu kepada-Ku!
She said to them, “This is what Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] says: ‘Go back and tell the king who sent you
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;
that this is what Yahweh says: “Listen to this carefully. I am going to cause all the people who live here in Jerusalem to experience a disaster, which is what was written in the scroll that the king has read.
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.
I will do that because they have abandoned me, and they burn incense to [honor] other gods. They have caused me to become very angry by [worshiping] the idols that they have made (OR, by all the wicked things that they have done), and my anger is like [MET] a fire that 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,
The king of Judah sent you to inquire what I, Yahweh, wanted you to do, so this is what you should say to him: “Because you have heeded what was written in the scroll,
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,
and you repented and humbled yourself when you heard what I said to warn you [about what would happen to] this city and the people who live here and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you. I said that I would cause this city to be abandoned. It will be a city whose name people will use when they curse someone. But I have heard what you prayed,
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.
so I will allow you to die [EUP] and be buried peacefully. I will cause the people who live here to experience a terrible disaster, but you will not [be alive to] see it.”’” After the men heard that, they returned to King Josiah and gave him that message.
