Ii Regum 22

1 octo annorum erat Iosias cum regnare coepisset et triginta uno anno regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Idida filia Phadaia de Besecath

Josiah [was] eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath.

2 fecitque quod placitum erat coram Domino et ambulavit per omnes vias David patris sui non declinavit ad dextram sive ad sinistram

And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.

3 anno autem octavodecimo regis Iosiae misit rex Saphan filium Aslia filii Mesullam scribam templi Domini dicens ei

And it came to pass 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 the LORD, saying,

4 vade ad Helciam sacerdotem magnum ut confletur pecunia quae inlata est in templum Domini quam collegerunt ianitores a populo

Go to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered from the people:

5 deturque fabris per praepositos in domo Domini qui et distribuent eam his qui operantur in templo Domini ad instauranda sarta tecta templi

And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD: and let them give it to the doers of the work, which [is] in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house,

6 tignariis videlicet et cementariis et his qui interrupta conponunt et ut emantur ligna et lapides de lapidicinis ad instaurandum templum

To carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber, and hewn stone to repair the house.

7 verumtamen non supputetur eis argentum quod accipiunt sed in potestate habeant et in fide

But there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.

8 dixit autem Helcias pontifex ad Saphan scribam librum legis repperi in domo Domini deditque Helcias volumen Saphan qui et legit illud

And 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 book to Shaphan, and he read it.

9 venit quoque Saphan scriba ad regem et renuntiavit ei quod praeceperat et ait conflaverunt servi tui pecuniam quae repperta est in domo Domini et dederunt ut distribueretur fabris a praefectis operum templi Domini

And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD.

10 narravitque Saphan scriba regi dicens librum dedit mihi Helcias sacerdos quem cum legisset Saphan coram rege

And Shaphan the scribe showed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

11 et audisset rex verba libri legis Domini scidit vestimenta sua

And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.

12 et praecepit Helciae sacerdoti et Ahicham filio Saphan et Achobor filio Micha et Saphan scribae et Asaiae servo regis dicens

And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying,

13 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

Go ye, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great [is] the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written concerning us.

14 ierunt itaque Helcias sacerdos et Ahicham et Achobor et Saphan et Asaia ad Oldam propheten uxorem Sellum filii Thecue filii Araas custodis vestium quae habitabat in Hierusalem in secunda locutique sunt ad eam

So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college; ) and they communed with her.

15 et illa respondit eis haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel dicite viro qui misit vos ad me

And she said to them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,

16 haec dicit Dominus ecce ego adducam mala super locum hunc et super habitatores eius omnia verba legis quae legit rex Iuda

Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon its inhabitants, [even] all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:

17 quia dereliquerunt me et sacrificaverunt diis alienis inritantes me in cunctis operibus manuum suarum et succendetur indignatio mea in loco hoc et non extinguetur

Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place and shall not be quenched.

18 regi autem Iuda qui misit vos ut consuleretis Dominum sic dicetis haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel pro eo quod audisti verba voluminis

But to the king of Judah who sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, [concerning] the words which thou hast heard;

19 et perterritum est cor tuum et humiliatus es coram Domino auditis sermonibus contra locum istum et habitatores eius quo videlicet fierent in stuporem et in maledictum et scidisti vestimenta tua et flevisti coram me et ego audivi ait Dominus

Because thy heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spoke against this place, and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard [thee], saith the LORD.

20 idcirco colligam te ad patres tuos et colligeris ad sepulchrum tuum in pace ut non videant oculi tui omnia mala quae inducturus sum super locum istum

Behold therefore, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thy eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
