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.
Eight years old was Josiah when he became king, and thirty and one years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yedidah, the daughter of 'Adayah of 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 is right in the eyes of the Lord, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not 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:
And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azalyahu, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, 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 Chilkiyahu the high-priest, that he may collect up all the money which is brought into the house of the Lord, which the door-keepers have gathered 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 hand of those who overlook the workmen, that have been appointed as overseers of the house of the Lord; and let them give it to those who do the work who are in the house of the Lord, to repair the breaches of the house:
6 древоделем и каменосечцем и покупающым древа и камение тесаное на утверждение разселин храма.
Unto the carpenters, and the builders, and the masons, and to buy timber and hewn stones to repair the house.
7 Обаче не сочисляху их о сребре даемем им, яко верно тии творяху.
Nevertheless shall there be no reckoning made with them for the money that is delivered into their hand, because they deal faithfully.
8 И рече Хелкиа жрец великий ко Сафану книгочию: книгу закона (Божия) обретох в дому Господни. И даде Хелкиа книгу Сафану, и прочте ю.
And Chilkiyahu the high-priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, A book of the law have I found in the house of the Lord. And Chilkiyah gave the book to Shaphan, and he 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 came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have taken out all the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of those who overlook the workmen, that have been appointed overseers 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.
And Shaphan the scribe also told the king, saying, A book hath Chilkiyahu the priest given me. And Shaphan read it before the king.
11 И бысть яко услыша царь словеса книги законныя, и раздра ризы своя,
And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent 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 the king commanded Chilkiyah the priest, and Achikam the son of Shaphan, and 'Achbor the son of Michayah, and Shaphan the scribe, and 'Assahyah a servant of the king's, saying,
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 ye, inquire of the Lord in my behalf, and in behalf of the people, and in behalf of all Judah, concerning the words of this book that hath been found; for great is the wrath of the Lord that hath been kindled against us, because our fathers did not hearken unto the words of this book, to do in accordance with all that is prescribed concerning 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.
And Chilkiyahu the priest, and Achikam, and 'Achbor, and Shaphan, and 'Assahyah, went unto Chuldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah the son of Charchass, the keeper of the wardrobe; [now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the suburb; ] and they spoke unto her.
15 И рече им: сице глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: рцыте мужеви пославшему вы ко мне:
And she said unto them, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Say unto the man that hath sent you to me,
16 тако глаголет Господь: се, Аз наведу злая на место сие и на живущыя в нем, вся словеса книжная, яже прочте царь Иудин:
Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon its inhabitants, all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath 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 have burnt incense unto other gods, in order to provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands: therefore is my wrath kindled against this place, and shall 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 with respect to the king of Judah who sendeth you to inquire of the Lord, thus shall ye say to him, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Concerning the words which thou hast 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 thy heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord, when thou heardest what I had spoken against this place, and against its inhabitants, that they should become an astonishment and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me: I also have heard it, saith 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, behold, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered unto thy graves in peace; and thy eyes shall not look on all the evil which I am bringing over this place. And they brought the king word again.
