1 UJosiya wayeleminyaka eyisificaminwembili lapho esiba yinkosi; wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lanye eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguJedida indodakazi kaAdaya weBhozikhathi.
约西亚登基的时候年八岁,在耶路撒冷作王三十一年。他母亲名叫耶底大,是波斯加人亚大雅的女儿。
2 Wasesenza okulungileyo emehlweni eNkosi, wahamba ngayo yonke indlela kaDavida uyise, kaze aphambukela ngakwesokunene langakwesokhohlo.
约西亚行耶和华眼中看为正的事,行他祖大卫一切所行的,不偏左右。
3 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wetshumi lesificaminwembili wenkosi uJosiya, inkosi yathuma uShafani indodana kaAzaliya indodana kaMeshulamu, umabhalane, endlini yeNkosi, esithi:
约西亚王十八年,王差遣米书兰的孙子、亚萨利的儿子—书记沙番上耶和华殿去,吩咐他说:
4 Yenyukela kuHilikhiya umpristi omkhulu ukuthi ahlanganise imali elethwe endlini yeNkosi, abalindi bombundu womnyango ababeyiqoqe ebantwini.
“你去见大祭司希勒家,使他将奉到耶和华殿的银子,就是守门的从民中收聚的银子,数算数算,
5 Kabayinikele esandleni sabenzi bomsebenzi abamiswe phezu kwendlu yeNkosi, kabayinike abenzi bomsebenzi osendlini yeNkosi, ukulungisa izikhala zendlu,
交给耶和华殿里办事的人,使他们转交耶和华殿里做工的人,好修理殿的破坏之处,
6 kubabazi, lakubakhi, lakubabazi bamatshe, lokuthenga amapulanka lamatshe abaziweyo ukulungisa indlu.
就是转交木匠和工人,并瓦匠,又买木料和凿成的石头修理殿宇,
7 Kodwa akubalelwananga labo imali eyayinikelwe esandleni sabo ngoba benza ngokuthembeka.
将银子交在办事的人手里,不与他们算帐,因为他们办事诚实。”
8 UHilikhiya umpristi omkhulu wasesithi kuShafani umabhalane: Sengifice ugwalo lomlayo endlini yeNkosi. UHilikhiya wasenika uShafani ugwalo, waselufunda.
大祭司希勒家对书记沙番说:“我在耶和华殿里得了律法书。”希勒家将书递给沙番,沙番就看了。
9 UShafani umabhalane wasefika enkosini, wabuyisela ilizwi enkosini wathi: Izinceku zakho seziyithulule imali eficwe endlini, zayinikela esandleni sabenzi bomsebenzi abamiswe phezu kwendlu yeNkosi.
书记沙番到王那里,回复王说:“你的仆人已将殿里的银子倒出数算,交给耶和华殿里办事的人了。”
10 UShafani umabhalane wasebika enkosini esithi: UHilikhiya umpristi unginike ugwalo. UShafani waselufunda phambi kwenkosi.
书记沙番又对王说:“祭司希勒家递给我一卷书。”沙番就在王面前读那书。
11 Kwasekusithi inkosi isizwile amazwi ogwalo lomlayo, yadabula izigqoko zayo.
王听见律法书上的话,便撕裂衣服,
12 Inkosi yasilaya uHilikhiya umpristi loAhikhamu indodana kaShafani loAkhibhori indodana kaMikhaya loShafani umabhalane loAsaya inceku yenkosi, isithi:
吩咐祭司希勒家与沙番的儿子亚希甘、米该亚的儿子亚革波、书记沙番和王的臣仆亚撒雅,说:
13 Hambani liyengibuzela eNkosini mina labantu loJuda wonke mayelana lamazwi alolugwalo oluficiweyo; ngoba yinkulu intukuthelo yeNkosi esesiyibaselwe, ngoba obaba kabawalalelanga amazwi alolugwalo, ukwenza konke okubhaliweyo mayelana lathi.
“你们去为我、为民、为犹大众人,以这书上的话求问耶和华;因为我们列祖没有听从这书上的言语,没有遵着书上所吩咐我们的去行,耶和华就向我们大发烈怒。”
14 Ngakho uHilikhiya umpristi loAhikhamu loAkhibhori loShafani loAsaya baya kuHulida umprofethikazi umkaShaluma indodana kaTikiva indodana kaHarihasi, umgcini wezigqoko. Wayehlala-ke eJerusalema esiGabeni seSibili. Basebekhuluma laye.
于是,祭司希勒家和亚希甘、亚革波、沙番、亚撒雅都去见女先知户勒大。户勒大是掌管礼服沙龙的妻;沙龙是哈珥哈斯的孙子、特瓦的儿子。户勒大住在耶路撒冷第二区。他们请问于她。
15 Wasesithi kibo: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Mtsheleni lowomuntu olithume kimi:
她对他们说:“耶和华—以色列的 神如此说:‘你们可以回复那差遣你们来见我的人说,
16 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, ngizakwehlisela okubi kulindawo laphezu kwabakhileyo bayo, wonke amazwi ogwalo inkosi yakoJuda elufundileyo.
耶和华如此说:我必照着犹大王所读那书上的一切话,降祸与这地和其上的居民。
17 Ngenxa yokuthi bangidelile, batshisela abanye onkulunkulu impepha, ukuze bangithukuthelise ngawo wonke umsebenzi wezandla zabo. Ngakho intukuthelo yami izavutha imelene lale indawo, ingacitshwa.
因为他们离弃我,向别神烧香,用他们手所做的惹我发怒,所以我的忿怒必向这地发作,总不止息。’
18 Kodwa enkosini yakoJuda elithumileyo ukubuza eNkosini, lizakutsho njalo kuyo: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Mayelana lamazwi eliwezwileyo:
然而,差遣你们来求问耶和华的犹大王,你们要这样回复他说:‘耶和华—以色列的 神如此说:至于你所听见的话,
19 Ngoba inhliziyo yakho ibithambile, wazithoba phambi kweNkosi, lapho usizwa engikukhulume ngimelene lalindawo labakhileyo bayo, ukuthi bazakuba yincithakalo lesiqalekiso, wadabula izigqoko zakho, wakhala inyembezi phambi kwami, lami-ke ngizwile, kutsho iNkosi.
就是听见我指着这地和其上的居民所说、要使这地变为荒场、民受咒诅的话,你便心里敬服,在我面前自卑,撕裂衣服,向我哭泣,因此我应允了你。这是我—耶和华说的。
20 Ngakho, khangela, ngizakubuthela kuboyihlo, njalo uzabuthelwa engcwabeni lakho ngokuthula, lamehlo akho kawayikubona bonke ububi engizabehlisela phezu kwalindawo. Basebebuyisela ilizwi enkosini.
我必使你平平安安地归到坟墓到你列祖那里;我要降与这地的一切灾祸,你也不至亲眼看见。’”他们就回复王去了。
