1Josiah 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.2And 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.3And 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,4Go 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:5And 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,6Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.7Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.8And Hilkiah the high priest said unto 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.9And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy 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.10And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.11And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.12And 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,13Go ye, enquire 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 hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.14So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her.15And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,16Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:17Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto 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.18But to the king of Judah which sent you to enquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard;19Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee , saith the LORD.20Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
1كَانَ يُوشِيَّا ابْنَ ثَمَانِ سِنِينٍ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ إِحْدَى وَثَلاَثِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَدْيَدَةُ بِنْتُ عَدَايَةَ مِنْ بُصْقَةَ.2وَعَمِلَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ وَسَارَ فِي جَمِيعِ طَرِيقِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ. وَلَمْ يَحِدْ يَمِيناً وَلاَ شِمَالاً.3وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّامِنَةَ عَشَرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ يُوشِيَّا أَرْسَلَ الْمَلِكُ شَافَانَ بْنَ أَصَلْيَا بْنِ مَشُلاَّمَ الْكَاتِبَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً،4اصْعَدْ إِلَى حِلْقِيَّا الْكَاهِنِ الْعَظِيمِ فَيَحْسِبَ الْفِضَّةَ الْمُدْخَلَةَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي جَمَعَهَا حَارِسُو الْبَابِ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ،5فَيَدْفَعُوهَا لِيَدِ عَامِلِي الشُّغْلِ الْمُوَكَّلِينَ بِبَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، وَيَدْفَعُوهَا إِلَى عَامِلِي الشُّغْلِ الَّذِي فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ لِتَرْمِيمِ ثُلَمِ الْبَيْتِ،6لِلنَّجَّارِينَ وَالْبَنَّائِينَ وَالنَّحَّاتِينَ، وَلِشِرَاءِ أَخْشَابٍ وَحِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ لأَجْلِ تَرْمِيمِ الْبَيْتِ.7إِلاَّ أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُحَاسَبُوا بِالْفِضَّةِ الْمَدْفُوعَةِ لأَيْدِيهِمْ لأَنَّهُمْ إِنَّمَا عَمِلُوا بِأَمَانَةٍ.8فَقَالَ حِلْقِيَّا الْكَاهِنُ الْعَظِيمُ لِشَافَانَ الْكَاتِبِ، قَدْ وَجَدْتُ سِفْرَ الشَّرِيعَةِ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. وَسَلَّمَ حِلْقِيَّا السِّفْرَ لِشَافَانَ فَقَرَأَهُ.9وَجَاءَ شَافَانُ الْكَاتِبُ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ وَقَالَ، قَدْ أَفْرَغَ عَبِيدُكَ الْفِضَّةَ الْمَوْجُودَةَ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَدَفَعُوهَا إِلَى يَدِ عَامِلِي الشُّغْلِ وُكَلاَءِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ.10وَأَخْبَرَ شَافَانُ الْكَاتِبُ الْمَلِكَ، قَدْ أَعْطَانِي حِلْقِيَّا الْكَاهِنُ سِفْراً. وَقَرَأَهُ شَافَانُ أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ.11فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْمَلِكُ كَلاَمَ سِفْرِ الشَّرِيعَةِ مَزَّقَ ثِيَابَهُ.12وَأَمَرَ الْمَلِكُ حِلْقِيَّا الْكَاهِنَ وَأَخِيقَامَ بْنَ شَافَانَ وَعَكْبُورَ بْنَ مِيخَا وَشَافَانَ الْكَاتِبَ وَعَسَايَا عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ،13اذْهَبُوا اسْأَلُوا الرَّبَّ لأَجْلِي وَلأَجْلِ الشَّعْبِ وَلأَجْلِ كُلِّ يَهُوذَا مِنْ جِهَةِ كَلاَمِ هَذَا السِّفْرِ الَّذِي وُجِدَ. لأَنَّهُ عَظِيمٌ هُوَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي اشْتَعَلَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ آبَاءَنَا لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِكَلاَمِ هَذَا السِّفْرِ لِيَعْمَلُوا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَيْنَا.14فَذَهَبَ حِلْقِيَّا الْكَاهِنُ وَأَخِيقَامُ وَعَكْبُورُ وَشَافَانُ وَعَسَايَا إِلَى خَلْدَةَ النَّبِيَّةِ، امْرَأَةِ شَلُّومَ بْنِ تِقْوَةَ بْنِ حَرْحَسَ حَارِسِ الثِّيَابِ. وَهِيَ سَاكِنَةٌ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي الْقِسْمِ الثَّانِي وَكَلَّمُوهَا.15فَقَالَتْ لَهُمْ، هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. قُولُوا لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَكُمْ إِلَيَّ،16هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ، هَئَنَذَا جَالِبٌ شَرّاً عَلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ وَعَلَى سُكَّانِهِ، كُلَّ كَلاَمِ السِّفْرِ الَّذِي قَرَأَهُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا،17مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُونِي وَأَوْقَدُوا لآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِيُغِيظُونِي بِكُلِّ عَمَلِ أَيْدِيهِمْ، فَيَشْتَعِلُ غَضَبِي عَلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ وَلاَ يَنْطَفِئُ.18وَأَمَّا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا الَّذِي أَرْسَلَكُمْ لِتَسْأَلُوا الرَّبَّ فَهَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لَهُ، هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ جِهَةِ الْكَلاَمِ الَّذِي سَمِعْتَ،19مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ رَقَّ قَلْبُكَ وَتَوَاضَعْتَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ حِينَ سَمِعْتَ مَا تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ عَلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ وَعَلَى سُكَّانِهِ أَنَّهُمْ يَصِيرُونَ دَهَشاً وَلَعْنَةً، وَمَزَّقْتَ ثِيَابَكَ وَبَكَيْتَ أَمَامِي. قَدْ سَمِعْتُ أَنَا أَيْضاً يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.20لِذَلِكَ هَئَنَذَا أَضُمُّكَ إِلَى آبَائِكَ فَتُضَمُّ إِلَى قَبْرِكَ بِسَلاَمٍ، وَلاَ تَرَى عَيْنَاكَ كُلَّ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي أَنَا جَالِبُهُ عَلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ. فَرَدُّوا عَلَى الْمَلِكِ جَوَاباً.
