2 Reyes 22
1 Josías tenía ocho años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó treinta y un años en Jerusalén. Su madre se llamaba Yedida, hija de Adaías de Bozcat.
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 Hizo lo que era justo a los ojos de Yahvé, y siguió todo el camino de David, su padre, sin apartarse ni a la derecha ni a la izquierda.
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 En el año dieciocho del rey Josías, el rey envió a Safán, hijo de Azalías, hijo de Mesulam, el escriba, a la casa de Yahvé, diciendo:
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 “Sube al sumo sacerdote Hilcías, para que cuente el dinero que se trae a la casa de Yahvé, que los guardianes del umbral han reunido del pueblo.
Go up 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 of the people:
5 Que lo entreguen en mano de los obreros que tienen la vigilancia de la casa de Yahvé; y que lo den a los obreros que están en la casa de Yahvé, para reparar los daños de la casa,
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 a los carpinteros, a los constructores y a los albañiles, y para comprar madera y piedra cortada para reparar la casa.
To carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.
7 Sin embargo, no se les pedirá cuenta del dinero entregado en sus manos, porque ellos actúan con fidelidad.”
However, there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.
8 El sumo sacerdote Hilcías dijo al escriba Safán: “He encontrado el libro de la ley en la casa de Yahvé”. Hilcías entregó el libro a Safán, y éste lo leyó.
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 El escriba Safán fue a ver al rey y le trajo de nuevo la noticia, diciendo: “Tus servidores han vaciado el dinero que se encontró en la casa y lo han entregado en manos de los obreros que tienen la supervisión de la casa de Yahvé.”
And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Your 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 El escriba Safán informó al rey diciendo: “El sacerdote Hilcías me ha entregado un libro”. Entonces Safán lo leyó ante el rey.
And Shaphan the scribe showed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
11 Cuando el rey escuchó las palabras del libro de la ley, se rasgó las vestiduras.
And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.
12 El rey ordenó al sacerdote Hilcías, a Ajicam hijo de Safán, a Acbor hijo de Micaías, al escriba Safán y a Asaías, siervo del rey, diciendo:
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 “Vayan a consultar a Yahvé por mí, por el pueblo y por todo Judá, sobre las palabras de este libro que se ha encontrado pues es grande la ira del Señor que se ha encendido contra nosotros, porque nuestros padres no han escuchado las palabras de este libro, para hacer conforme a todo lo que está escrito acerca de nosotros.”
Go you, 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 listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written concerning us.
14 Entonces el sacerdote Hilcías, Ajicam, Acbor, Safán y Asaías fueron a ver a la profetisa Hulda, esposa de Salum hijo de Ticva, hijo de Harhas, guardián del armario (que vivía en Jerusalén en el segundo barrio), y hablaron con ella.
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 dwelled in Jerusalem in the college; ) and they communed with her.
15 Ella les dijo: “Yahvé, el Dios de Israel, dice: ‘Díganle al hombre que los ha enviado a mí:
And she said to them, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,
16 “Yahvé dice: ‘He aquí que yo traigo el mal sobre este lugar y sobre sus habitantes, incluso todas las palabras del libro que ha leído el rey de Judá.
Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil on this place, and on the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah has read:
17 Porque me han abandonado y han quemado incienso a otros dioses, para provocarme a la ira con toda la obra de sus manos, por eso mi ira se encenderá contra este lugar, y no se apagará.’”
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 Pero al rey de Judá, que te envió a consultar a Yahvé, dile: “Dice Yahvé, el Dios de Israel: ‘En cuanto a las palabras que has oído,
But to the king of Judah which sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall you say to him, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, As touching the words which you have heard;
19 porque tu corazón se enterneció y te humillaste ante Yahvé cuando oíste lo que hablé contra este lugar y contra sus habitantes, para que se convirtieran en desolación y maldición, y has rasgado tus vestiduras y llorado ante mí, yo también te he oído’, dice Yahvé.
Because your heart was tender, and you have humbled yourself before the LORD, when you heard what I spoke against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have rent your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard you, says the LORD.
20 ‘Por lo tanto, he aquí que te reuniré con tus padres, y serás reunido a tu tumba en paz. Tus ojos no verán todo el mal que traeré a este lugar’”’. Así que llevaron este mensaje al rey.
Behold therefore, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered into your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring on this place. And they brought the king word again.
