Четвертая книга Царств 22
1 Сын осми лет бе Иосиа, егда нача царствовати, и тридесять едино лето царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матери его Иедида, дщи Едеева, от Васурофа.
Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. His mother’s name was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah; she was from Bozkath.
2 И сотвори правое пред очима Господнима, и хождаше во всех путех Давида отца своего, не совратися ни на десно, ни на шуее.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and walked in all the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right or to the left.
3 И бысть во осмоенадесять лето царства Иосиина, в седмый месяц, посла царь Сафана, сына Езелиина, сына Месолламля, книгочию дому Господня, глаголя:
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah sent the scribe, Shaphan son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, to the house of the LORD, saying,
4 взыди к Хелкии жерцу великому и запечатлей сребро внесеное в дом Господень, еже собраша стрегущии врат от людий,
“Go up to Hilkiah the high priest and have him count the money that has been brought into the house of the LORD, which the doorkeepers have collected from the people.
5 и да дадут е в руки творящих дела приставником в храме Господни: да дадят е творящым дела в дому Господни, еже подкрепляти разселины храма,
And let them deliver it into the hands of the supervisors of those doing the work on the house of the LORD, who in turn are to give it to the workmen repairing the damages to the house of the LORD—
6 древоделем и каменосечцем и покупающым древа и камение тесаное на утверждение разселин храма.
to the carpenters, builders, and masons—to buy timber and dressed stone to repair the temple.
7 Обаче не сочисляху их о сребре даемем им, яко верно тии творяху.
But they need not account for the money put into their hands, since they work with integrity.”
8 И рече Хелкиа жрец великий ко Сафану книгочию: книгу закона (Божия) обретох в дому Господни. И даде Хелкиа книгу Сафану, и прочте ю.
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 he gave it to Shaphan, who read it.
9 И вниде в дом Господень и царю Иосии, и возвести царю слово и рече: слияша раби твои сребро обретшееся в дому Господни, и даша е приставницы в руки творящым дела в храме Господни.
And Shaphan the scribe went to the king and reported, “Your servants have paid out the money that was found in the temple and have put it into the hands of the workers and supervisors of the house of the LORD.”
10 И рече Сафан книгочия к царю, глаголя книгу закона даде ми Хелкиа жрец. И прочте ю Сафан пред царем.
Moreover, Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read it in the presence of the king.
11 И бысть яко услыша царь словеса книги законныя, и раздра ризы своя,
When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his clothes
12 и заповеда царь Хелкии жрецу и Ахикаму сыну Сафаню, и Аховору сыну Михеину и Сафану книгочию и Асаию рабу цареву, глаголя:
and commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Achbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of the king:
13 приидите, испросите Господа о мне и о всех людех и о всем Иуде, и о словесех книги обретшияся сея, яко велик гнев Господень разжженый на нас, понеже не послушаша отцы наши словес книги сея, еже творити по всем написанным на ны.
“Go and inquire of the LORD for me, for the people, and for all Judah concerning the words in this book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the LORD that burns against us because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book by doing all that is written about us.”
14 И иде Хелкиа жрец и Ахикам, и Аховор и Сафан и Асаиас ко Олдаме пророчице, жене Селима сына Фекуева, сына Араса ризохранителя: и сия живяше во Иерусалиме в масене: и глаголаша к ней по сему.
So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went and spoke to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, the keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the Second District.
15 И рече им: сице глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: рцыте мужеви пославшему вы ко мне:
And Huldah said to them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Tell the man who sent you
16 тако глаголет Господь: се, Аз наведу злая на место сие и на живущыя в нем, вся словеса книжная, яже прочте царь Иудин:
that this is what the LORD says: I am about to bring calamity on this place and on its people, according to all the words of the book that the king of Judah has read,
17 понеже оставиша Мя и кадяху богом другим, яко да прогневают Мя делесы рук своих, и разжжется ярость Моя на место сие и не угаснет:
because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. My wrath will be kindled against this place and will not be quenched.’
18 и ко царю Иудину пославшему вас вопросити Господа, сице рцыте ему: тако глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: словеса, яже слышал еси,
But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘As for the words that you heard,
19 за сия, яко умягчися сердце твое и смирился еси пред лицем Господним, услышав елика глаголах на место сие и на живущыя в нем, еже быти в погубление и в проклятие, и раздрал еси ризы твоя, и плакался предо Мною, и Аз убо услышах, глаголет Господь:
because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its people, that they would become a desolation and a curse, and because you have torn your clothes and wept before Me, I have heard you,’ declares the LORD.
20 сего ради Аз приложу тя ко отцем твоим, и соберешися во гроб твой в мире, и не узриши очима твоима всех злых, яже Аз имам навести на место сие и на живущыя в нем.
‘Therefore I will indeed gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the calamity that I will bring on this place.’” So they brought her answer back to the king.
