1 Сын осми лет бе Иосиа, егда нача царствовати, и тридесять едино лето царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матери его Иедида, дщи Едеева, от Васурофа.
Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.
2 И сотвори правое пред очима Господнима, и хождаше во всех путех Давида отца своего, не совратися ни на десно, ни на шуее.
He did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walked in all the way of David his father, and did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
3 И бысть во осмоенадесять лето царства Иосиина, в седмый месяц, посла царь Сафана, сына Езелиина, сына Месолламля, книгочию дому Господня, глаголя:
It happened 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 Jehovah, saying,
4 взыди к Хелкии жерцу великому и запечатлей сребро внесеное в дом Господень, еже собраша стрегущии врат от людий,
"Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may melt down the silver which is brought into the house of Jehovah, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered of the people.
5 и да дадут е в руки творящих дела приставником в храме Господни: да дадят е творящым дела в дому Господни, еже подкрепляти разселины храма,
Let them deliver it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of Jehovah; and let them give it to the workmen who are in the house of Jehovah, to repair the breaches of the house,
6 древоделем и каменосечцем и покупающым древа и камение тесаное на утверждение разселин храма.
to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house.
7 Обаче не сочисляху их о сребре даемем им, яко верно тии творяху.
However there was no accounting made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand; for they dealt faithfully."
8 И рече Хелкиа жрец великий ко Сафану книгочию: книгу закона (Божия) обретох в дому Господни. И даде Хелкиа книгу Сафану, и прочте ю.
Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, "I have found the scroll of the law in the house of Jehovah." Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
9 И вниде в дом Господень и царю Иосии, и возвести царю слово и рече: слияша раби твои сребро обретшееся в дому Господни, и даша е приставницы в руки творящым дела в храме Господни.
Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, "Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of Jehovah."
10 И рече Сафан книгочия к царю, глаголя книгу закона даде ми Хелкиа жрец. И прочте ю Сафан пред царем.
Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, "Hilkiah the priest has delivered a scroll to me." Shaphan read it before the king.
11 И бысть яко услыша царь словеса книги законныя, и раздра ризы своя,
It happened, when the king had heard the words of the scroll of the law, that he tore his clothes.
12 и заповеда царь Хелкии жрецу и Ахикаму сыну Сафаню, и Аховору сыну Михеину и Сафану книгочию и Асаию рабу цареву, глаголя:
The king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying,
13 приидите, испросите Господа о мне и о всех людех и о всем Иуде, и о словесех книги обретшияся сея, яко велик гнев Господень разжженый на нас, понеже не послушаша отцы наши словес книги сея, еже творити по всем написанным на ны.
"Go inquire of Jehovah for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this scroll that is found; for great is the wrath of Jehovah that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this scroll, to do according to all that which is written concerning us."
14 И иде Хелкиа жрец и Ахикам, и Аховор и Сафан и Асаиас ко Олдаме пророчице, жене Селима сына Фекуева, сына Араса ризохранителя: и сия живяше во Иерусалиме в масене: и глаголаша к ней по сему.
So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked with her.
15 И рече им: сице глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: рцыте мужеви пославшему вы ко мне:
She said to them, "Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel: 'Tell the man who sent you to me,
16 тако глаголет Господь: се, Аз наведу злая на место сие и на живущыя в нем, вся словеса книжная, яже прочте царь Иудин:
"Thus says Jehovah, 'Look, I will bring disaster on this place, and on its inhabitants, even all the words of the scroll which the king of Judah has read.
17 понеже оставиша Мя и кадяху богом другим, яко да прогневают Мя делесы рук своих, и разжжется ярость Моя на место сие и не угаснет:
Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.'"
18 и ко царю Иудину пославшему вас вопросити Господа, сице рцыте ему: тако глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: словеса, яже слышал еси,
But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Jehovah, thus you shall tell him, "Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel: 'Concerning the words which you have heard,
19 за сия, яко умягчися сердце твое и смирился еси пред лицем Господним, услышав елика глаголах на место сие и на живущыя в нем, еже быти в погубление и в проклятие, и раздрал еси ризы твоя, и плакался предо Мною, и Аз убо услышах, глаголет Господь:
because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before Jehovah, when you heard what I spoke against this place, and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have torn your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard you,' says Jehovah.
20 сего ради Аз приложу тя ко отцем твоим, и соберешися во гроб твой в мире, и не узриши очима твоима всех злых, яже Аз имам навести на место сие и на живущыя в нем.
'Therefore look, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, neither shall your eyes see all the disaster which I will bring on this place.'"'" They brought back this message to the king.
