Si Haring Josias ng Juda(A)
22 Si(B) Josias ay walong taóng gulang nang maging hari ng Juda. Tatlumpu't isang taon siyang naghari sa Jerusalem. Ang ina niya ay si Jedida na anak ni Adaya na taga-Boskat. 2 Naging kalugud-lugod siya kay Yahweh sapagkat sinundan niya ang halimbawa ng ninuno niyang si David na buong katapatang sumunod sa mga utos ng Diyos.
Natagpuan ang Aklat ng Kautusan(C)
3 Nang ikalabing walong taon ng paghahari ni Josias, inutusan niya ang kalihim niyang si Safan na anak ni Azalias at apo ni Mesulam na pumunta sa Templo. Ang utos niya, 4 “Pumunta ka kay Hilkias na pinakapunong pari at alamin mo kung magkano na ang salapi sa kabang-yaman na nalilikom ng mga bantay-pintuan. 5 Pagkatapos, ipabigay mo sa namamahala sa Templo upang ibayad sa 6 mga karpintero, mga manggagawa at mga kantero. Dapat din silang bumili ng kahoy at batong gagamitin sa pagpapaayos ng Templo. 7 Hindi(D) na nila kailangang magbigay ng ulat tungkol sa nagastos sapagkat sila'y taong matatapat.”
8 Pagdating ni Safan sa Templo, sinabi sa kanya ng pinakapunong paring si Hilkias, “Natagpuan ko sa Templo ni Yahweh ang aklat ng Kautusan.” Ibinigay niya ito kay Safan at binasa naman nito. 9 Nang matupad na ang iniutos sa kanya, nagbalik siya sa hari at iniulat na nabilang na ang salapi sa Templo at naibigay na sa mga namamahala sa pagpapaayos ng Templo. 10 Sinabi pa niya, “Ako'y binigyan ni Hilkias ng isang aklat.” At binasa niya ito sa hari.
11 Nang marinig ng hari ang nilalaman ng aklat, pinunit niya ang kanyang kasuotan. 12 Pinulong niya sina Hilkias na pari, si Ahikam na anak ni Safan, si Akbor na anak ni Mikaias, ang kalihim na si Safan, at si Asaias na tauhan ng hari. Sinabi niya, 13 “Sumangguni kayo kay Yahweh alang-alang sa akin at sa buong Juda tungkol sa nilalaman ng aklat na ito. Matindi ang galit ni Yahweh sa atin dahil sa pagsuway ng ating mga ninuno sa mga ipinag-uutos sa aklat na ito.”
14 Ang paring si Hilkias at sina Ahikam, Akbor, Safan at Asaias ay nagpunta nga sa isang babaing propeta na nagngangalang Hulda na asawa ni Sallum, anak ni Tikva na anak ni Harhas, ang tagapag-ingat ng mga kasuotan ng mga pari. Siya ay sa ikalawang purok ng Jerusalem nakatira. 15 Ang sabi niya, “Ito ang ipinapasabi ni Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel, sa nagsugo sa inyo rito: 16 ‘Ang lahat ng parusang nabasa ng hari sa aklat na ito ay ibabagsak ko sa bayang ito at sa lahat ng mamamayan. 17 Matindi ang galit ko laban sa bayang ito sapagkat tinalikuran nila ako, at sila'y sumamba sa mga diyus-diyosan. 18 Ito naman ang sabihin mo sa hari ng Juda na nagsugo sa inyo rito: 19 Narinig ko ang iyong pagtangis nang malaman mo ang sumpa at parusang igagawad ko sa bayang ito. Nakita ko ang pagsisisi mo, ang iyong pagpapakababa sa harapan ko, pati ang pagpunit mo sa iyong kasuotan. 20 Dahil dito, hindi mo mararanasan ang pagpapahirap na gagawin ko sa bayang ito. Mamamatay kang mapayapa sa piling ng iyong mga ninuno.’” Ang lahat ng ito'y sinabi nila sa hari.
2 Kings 22
King James Version
22 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 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 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 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 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 Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.
7 Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.
8 And 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.
9 And 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.
10 And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
11 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.
12 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 Go 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.
14 So 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.
15 And she said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,
16 Thus 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:
17 Because 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.
18 But 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;
19 Because 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.
20 Behold 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.
