2 Mga Hari 22
1 Si Josias ay may walong taon nang magpasimulang maghari; at siya'y nagharing tatlongpu't isang taon sa Jerusalem: at ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Idida na anak ni Adaia na taga Boscat.
Josiah was eight years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 31 years. His mother was Jedidah and his grandfather was Adaiah from Bozkath [town].
2 At siya'y gumawa ng matuwid sa harap ng mga mata ng Panginoon, at lumakad sa buong lakad ni David na kaniyang magulang, at hindi lumiko sa kanan o sa kaliwa.
Josiah did things that were pleasing to Yahweh and conducted his life as his ancestor King David had done. He completely obeyed [IDM] all the laws of God.
3 At nangyari, nang ikalabing walong taon ng haring Josias, na sinugo ng hari si Saphan na anak ni Azalia, na anak ni Mesullam, na kalihim, sa bahay ng Panginoon, na sinasabi,
After Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years, he sent his secretary Shaphan, the son of Azaliah and grandson of Meshullam, to the temple with these instructions:
4 Ahunin mo si Hilcias na dakilang saserdote, upang kaniyang bilangin ang salapi na ipinasok sa bahay ng Panginoon, na tinipon sa bayan ng tagatanod-pinto:
“Go to Hilkiah, the Supreme Priest, and tell him to give me a report, telling me how much money the men who guard the doors of the temple have collected from the people [as offerings].
5 At ibinigay sa kamay ng mga manggagawa na siyang tumitingin ng gawain sa bahay ng Panginoon; at ibigay sa mga manggagawa na nangasa bahay ng Panginoon, upang husayin ang mga sira ng bahay.
Then tell him to give all that money to the men who are supervising the work of repairing the temple.
6 Sa mga anluwagi, at sa mga manggagawa, at sa mga kantero at sa pagbili ng kahoy, at ng batong tabas upang husayin ang bahay.
They must give that money to the carpenters, the builders, and the masons, and they should also buy the timber and the stones that they will use to repair the temple.
7 Gayon ma'y walang pagtutuos na ginawa sila sa kanila sa salapi na nabigay sa kanilang kamay; sapagka't kanilang ginawang may pagtatapat.
But the men who supervise the work will not be required to make a report on the money that is given to them, saying what they spent it for, because those men are completely honest.”
8 At si Hilcias na dakilang saserdote ay nagsabi kay Saphan na kalihim, Aking nasumpungan ang aklat ng kautusan sa bahay ng Panginoon. At ibinigay ni Hilcias ang aklat kay Saphan, at kaniyang binasa.
[After Shaphan said that to Hilkiah] the king’s secretary, Hilkiah said to Shaphan, “I have found in the temple a scroll on which is written the laws [that God gave to Moses]!” Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan, and he started to read it.
9 At si Saphan na kalihim ay naparoon sa hari, at nagbalik ng salita sa hari, at nagsabi, Inilabas ng iyong mga lingkod ang salapi na nasumpungan sa bahay, at ibinigay sa kamay ng mga manggagawa na siyang tumitingin ng gawain sa bahay ng Panginoon.
Then Shaphan [took the scroll] to the king and said to him, “Your temple guards have taken the money that was in the temple, and they have given it to the men who will supervise the work of repairing the temple.”
10 At isinaysay ni Saphan na kalihim, sa hari na sinasabi, Si Hilcias na saserdote ay nagbigay sa akin ng isang aklat.
Then Shaphan said to the king, [“I have brought to you] a scroll that Hilkiah gave to me.” And Shaphan started to read it to the king.
11 At binasa ni Saphan sa harap ng hari. At nangyari, nang marinig ng hari ang mga salita ng aklat ng kautusan, na kaniyang hinapak ang kaniyang suot.
When the king heard the laws that were written in the scroll that Shaphan was reading to him, he tore his clothes [because he was very dismayed].
12 At ang hari ay nagutos kay Hilcias na saserdote, at kay Ahicam na anak ni Saphan, at kay Achbor na anak ni Michaia, at kay Saphan na kalihim, at kay Asaia na lingkod ng hari, na sinasabi,
Then he gave these instructions to Hilkiah, to Shaphan’s son Ahikam, to Micaiah’s son Achbor, and to Asaiah, the king’s special advisor:
13 Kayo'y magsiyaon, isangguni ninyo sa Panginoon ako, at ang bayan, at ang buong Juda, tungkol sa mga salita ng aklat na ito na nasumpungan: sapagka't malaki ang pagiinit ng Panginoon na nabugso sa atin, sapagka't hindi dininig ng ating mga magulang ang mga salita ng aklat na ito, na gawin ang ayon sa lahat na nasusulat tungkol sa atin.
“Go and ask Yahweh for me and for all the people of Judah, about what is written in this scroll that has been found. Because [it is clear that] Yahweh is very angry with us because our ancestors disobeyed what was written on this scroll, things that we [should have done].”
14 Sa gayo'y si Hilcias na saserdote, at si Ahicam, at si Achbor, at si Saphan, at si Asaia, ay nagsiparoon kay Hulda na propetisa, na asawa ni Sallum na anak ni Ticva na anak ni Araas, na katiwala sa mga kasuutan (siya nga'y tumatahan sa Jerusalem sa ikalawang bahagi; ) at sila'y nakipagsanggunian sa kaniya.
So Hilkiah, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to (consult/talk with) a woman whose name was Huldah, who was a prophetess who lived in the newer/northern part of Jerusalem. Her husband Shallum, son of Tikvah and grandson of Harhas, took care of the robes that were worn [in the temple] (OR, [by the king]). [Those five men told her about the scroll].
15 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Ganito, ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel: Saysayin ninyo sa lalake na nagsugo sa inyo sa akin,
She said to them, “This is what Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] says: ‘Go back and tell the king who sent you
16 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Narito, ako'y magdadala ng kasamaan sa dakong ito, at sa mga tagarito, sa makatuwid baga'y lahat na salita ng aklat na nabasa ng hari sa Juda:
that this is what Yahweh says: “Listen to this carefully. I am going to cause all the people who live here in Jerusalem to experience a disaster, which is what was written in the scroll that the king has read.
17 Sapagka't kanilang pinabayaan ako, at nagsunog ng kamangyan sa ibang mga dios, upang ipamungkahi nila ako sa galit sa lahat na gawa ng kanilang mga kamay, kaya't ang aking pagiinit ay magaalab sa dakong ito, at hindi mapapatay.
I will do that because they have abandoned me, and they burn incense to [honor] other gods. They have caused me to become very angry by [worshiping] the idols that they have made (OR, by all the wicked things that they have done), and my anger is like [MET] a fire that will not be put out.”
18 Nguni't sa hari sa Juda, na nagsugo sa inyo upang magusisa sa Panginoon, ganito ang sasabihin ninyo sa kaniya, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel. Tungkol sa mga salita na inyong narinig.
The king of Judah sent you to inquire what I, Yahweh, wanted you to do, so this is what you should say to him: “Because you have heeded what was written in the scroll,
19 Sapagka't ang iyong puso ay malumanay, at ikaw ay nagpakababa sa harap ng Panginoon, nang iyong marinig ang aking sinalita laban sa dakong ito, at laban sa mga tagarito na sila'y magiging kagibaan, at sumpa, at hinapak mo ang iyong kasuutan, at umiyak sa harap ko: ay dininig naman kita, sabi ng Panginoon.
and you repented and humbled yourself when you heard what I said to warn you [about what would happen to] this city and the people who live here and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you. I said that I would cause this city to be abandoned. It will be a city whose name people will use when they curse someone. But I have heard what you prayed,
20 Kaya't narito, ipipisan kita sa iyong mga magulang, at ikaw ay malalagay sa iyong libingan na payapa, at hindi makikita ng iyong mga mata ang lahat ng kasamaan na aking dadalhin sa dakong ito. At sila'y nagbalik ng salita sa hari.
so I will allow you to die [EUP] and be buried peacefully. I will cause the people who live here to experience a terrible disaster, but you will not [be alive to] see it.”’” After the men heard that, they returned to King Josiah and gave him that message.
