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 began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah 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.
He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, and walked in all the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn away to the right hand 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:
In the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to Yahweh’s house, 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, that he may count the money which is brought into Yahweh’s house, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered of 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,
Let them deliver it into the hand of the workers who have the oversight of Yahweh’s house; and let them give it to the workers who are in Yahweh’s house, to repair the damage to the house,
6 древоделем и каменосечцем и покупающым древа и камение тесаное на утверждение разселин храма.
to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house.
7 Обаче не сочисляху их о сребре даемем им, яко верно тии творяху.
However, no accounting shall be asked of them for the money delivered into their hand, for 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.
Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in Yahweh’s house.” Hilkiah delivered 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.
Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, “Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hands of the workmen who have the oversight of Yahweh’s house.”
10 И рече Сафан книгочия к царю, глаголя книгу закона даде ми Хелкиа жрец. И прочте ю Сафан пред царем.
Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered a book to me.” Then Shaphan read it before the king.
11 И бысть яко услыша царь словеса книги законныя, и раздра ризы своя,
When the king had 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:
The king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Achbor the son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, 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 inquire of Yahweh for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found; for great is Yahweh’s wrath that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written 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.
So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked with her.
15 И рече им: сице глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: рцыте мужеви пославшему вы ко мне:
She said to them, “Yahweh the God of Israel says, ‘Tell the man who 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:
“Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the words of the book which 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 have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it 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 to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Yahweh, tell him, “Yahweh the God of Israel says, ‘Concerning the words which you have 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 Yahweh when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you,’ says Yahweh.
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 you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the evil which I will bring on this place.’”’” So they brought this message back to the king.
