2 Kings 22
1 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].
Yosia berumur delapan tahun ketika ia menjadi raja Yehuda, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem 31 tahun lamanya. Ibunya bernama Yedida anak Adaya, dari Bozkat.
2 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.
Yosia melakukan yang menyenangkan hati TUHAN. Ia mengikuti teladan Raja Daud leluhurnya, dan mentaati seluruh hukum Allah dengan sepenuhnya.
3 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:
Raja Yosia mempunyai seorang sekretaris negara yang bernama Safan anak Azalya, cucu Mesulam. Pada tahun kedelapan belas pemerintahan Raja Yosia, raja memberi perintah ini kepada sekretarisnya itu, "Pergilah kepada Imam Agung Hilkia di Rumah TUHAN, dan mintalah dia memberi laporan tentang jumlah uang yang telah dikumpulkan oleh para imam yang bertugas di pintu masuk Rumah TUHAN.
4 “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 Then tell him to give all that money to the men who are supervising the work of repairing the temple.
Suruh dia memberikan uang itu kepada para pengawas pekerjaan perbaikan di Rumah TUHAN. Mereka harus mempergunakan uang itu untuk membayar upah
6 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.
para tukang kayu, tukang bangunan, dan tukang batu, serta membeli kayu dan batu yang diperlukan.
7 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.”
Para pengawas pekerjaan itu jujur sekali, jadi tak perlu diminta laporan keuangan dari mereka."
8 [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.
Safan menyampaikan perintah raja kepada Hilkia, lalu Hilkia menceritakan kepada Safan bahwa ia telah menemukan buku hukum-hukum TUHAN di Rumah TUHAN. Hilkia memberikan buku itu kepada Safan, dan Safan membacanya.
9 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.”
Setelah itu Safan kembali kepada raja dan melaporkan bahwa uang yang disimpan di Rumah TUHAN telah diambil dan diserahkan oleh para hamba raja kepada para pengawas pekerjaan perbaikan di Rumah TUHAN.
10 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.
Kemudian Safan berkata, "Hilkia memberi buku ini kepada saya." Lalu Safan membacakan buku itu kepada raja.
11 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].
Mendengar isi buku itu, raja merobek-robek pakaiannya karena sedih.
12 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:
Lalu raja memberi perintah ini kepada Imam Hilkia, Ahikam anak Safan, Akhbor anak Mikha, Safan sekretaris negara, dan Asaya ajudan raja:
13 “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].”
"Pergilah bertanya kepada TUHAN untuk aku dan untuk seluruh rakyat Yehuda mengenai isi buku ini. TUHAN marah kepada kita karena leluhur kita tidak menjalankan perintah-perintah yang tertulis di dalamnya."
14 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].
Maka pergilah Hilkia, Ahikam, Akhbor, Safan dan Asaya meminta petunjuk kepada seorang wanita bernama Hulda. Ia seorang nabi yang tinggal di perkampungan baru di Yerusalem. Suaminya bernama Salum anak Tikwa, cucu Harhas; ia pengurus pakaian ibadat di Rumah TUHAN. Setelah Hulda mendengar keterangan mereka,
15 She said to them, “This is what Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] says: ‘Go back and tell the king who sent you
ia menyuruh mereka kembali kepada raja dan menyampaikan
16 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.
perkataan TUHAN ini: "Aku akan menghukum Yerusalem dan seluruh penduduknya seperti yang tertulis dalam buku yang baru dibaca oleh raja.
17 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.”
Mereka telah meninggalkan Aku dan mempersembahkan kurban kepada ilah-ilah lain. Semua yang mereka lakukan membangkitkan kemarahan-Ku. Aku marah kepada Yerusalem, dan kemarahan-Ku tidak bisa diredakan.
18 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,
Tetapi mengenai Raja Yosia, inilah pesan-Ku, TUHAN Allah Israel, 'Setelah engkau mendengar apa yang tertulis dalam buku itu,
19 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,
engkau menyesal dan merendahkan diri di hadapan-Ku. Aku telah mengancam untuk menghukum Yerusalem dan penduduknya. Aku akan menjadikan kota itu suatu pemandangan yang mengerikan, dan nama Yerusalem akan Kujadikan nama kutukan. Tapi ketika engkau mendengar tentang ancaman-Ku itu engkau menangis dan merobek pakaianmu tanda sedih. Aku telah mendengar doamu,
20 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.
karena itu hukuman atas Yerusalem tidak akan Kujatuhkan selama engkau masih hidup. Engkau akan meninggal dengan damai.'" Maka kembalilah utusan-utusan itu kepada raja dan menyampaikan pesan itu.
