역대하 34

1요시야가 위에 나아갈 때에 나이 팔 세라 예루살렘에서 삼십일 년을 치리하며 2여호와 보시기에 정직히 행하여 그 조상 다윗의 길로 행하여 좌우로 치우치지 아니하고 3오히려 어렸을 때 곧 위에 있은지 팔 년에 그 조상 다윗의 하나님을 비로소 구하고 그 십이년에 유다와 예루살렘을 비로소 정결케하여 그 산당과 아세라 목상들과 아로새긴 우상들과 부어 만든 우상들을 제하여 버리매 4무리가 왕의 앞에서 바알들의 단을 훼파하였으며 왕이 또 그 단 위에 높이 달린 태양상들을 찍고 또 아세라 목상들과 아로새긴 우상들과 부어 만든 우상들을 빻아 가루를 만들어 거기 제사하던 자들의 무덤에 뿌리고 5제사장들의 뼈를 단 위에서 불살라 유다와 예루살렘을 정결케 하였으며 6또 므낫세와 에브라임과 시므온과 납달리까지 사면 황폐한 성읍들에도 그렇게 행하여 7단들을 훼파하며 아세라 목상들과 아로새긴 우상들을 빻아 가루를 만들며 온 이스라엘 땅에 있는 모든 태양상을 찍고 예루살렘으로 돌아왔더라 8요시야가 위에 있은지 십팔 년에 그 땅과 전을 정결케 하기를 마치고 그 하나님 여호와의 전을 수리하려 하여 아살랴의 아들 사반과 부윤 마아세야와 서기관 요아하스의 아들 요아를 보낸지라 9저희가 대제사장 힐기야에게 나아가 전에 하나님의 전에 연보한 돈을 저에게 붙이니 이 돈은 문을 지키는 레위 사람이 므낫세와 에브라임과 남아있는 이스라엘 사람과 온 유다와 베냐민과 예루살렘 거민들에게서 거둔 것이라 10그 돈을 여호와의 전 역사를 감독하는 자의 손에 붙이니 저희가 여호와의 전에 있는 공장에게 주어 그 전을 수리하게 하되 11곧 목수와 건축하는 자에게 붙여 다듬은 돌과 연접하는 나무를 사며 유다 왕들이 헐어버린 전들을 위하여 들보를 만들게 하매 12그 사람들이 진실히 그 일을 하니라 그 감독은 레위 사람 곧 므라리 자손 중 야핫과 오바댜요 그핫 자손 중 스가랴와 무술람이라 다 그 일을 주장하고 또 음악에 익숙한 레위 사람이 함께 하였으며 13저희가 또 담부하는 자를 관할하며 범백 공장을 동독하고 어떤 레위 사람은 서기와 관리와 문지기가 되었더라 14무리가 여호와의 전에 연보한 돈을 꺼낼 때에 제사장 힐기야가 모세의 전한 여호와의 율법책을 발견하고 15서기관 사반에게 일러 가로되 내가 여호와의 전에서 율법책을 발견하였노라 하고 그 책을 사반에게 주매 16사반이 책을 가지고 왕에게 나아가서 복명하여 가로되 왕께서 종들에게 명하신 것을 종들이 다 준행하였나이다 17또 여호와의 전에 있던 돈을 쏟아서 감독자와 공장의 손에 붙였나이다 하고 18서기관 사반이 또 왕에게 고하여 가로되 제사장 힐기야가 내게 책을 주더이다 하고 사반이 왕의 앞에서 읽으매 19왕이 율법의 말씀을 듣자 곧 자기 옷을 찢더라 20왕이 힐기야와 사반의 아들 아히감과 미가의 아들 압돈과 서기관 사반과 왕의 시신 아사야에게 명하여 가로되 21너희는 가서 나와 및 이스라엘과 유다의 남은 자를 위하여 이 발견한 책의 말씀에 대하여 여호와께 물으라 우리 열조가 여호와의 말씀을 지키지 아니하고 이 책에 기록된 모든 것을 준행치 아니하였으므로 여호와께서 우리에게 쏟으신 진노가 크도다 22이에 힐기야와 왕의 보낸 사람들이 여선지자 훌다에게로 나아가니 저는 하스라의 손자 독핫의 아들 예복을 주관하는 살룸의 아내라 예루살렘 둘째 구역에 거하였더라 저희가 그에게 이 뜻으로 고하매 23훌다가 저희에게 이르되 이스라엘 하나님 여호와의 말씀으로 너희는 너희를 내게 보낸 사람에게 고하기를 24여호와의 말씀이 내가 이곳과 그 거민에게 재앙을 내리되 곧 유다 왕 앞에서 읽은 책에 기록된 모든 저주대로 하리니 25이는 이 백성이 나를 버리고 다른 신에게 분향하며 그 손의 모든 소위로 나의 노를 격발하였음이라 그러므로 나의 노를 이곳에 쏟으매 꺼지지 아니하리라 하라 하셨느니라 26너희를 보내어 여호와께 묻게 한 유다 왕에게는 너희가 이렇게 고하라 이스라엘 하나님 여호와의 말씀이 네가 들은 말을 의논컨대 27내가 이곳과 그 거민을 가리켜 말한 것을 네가 듣고 마음이 연하여 하나님 앞 곧 내 앞에서 겸비하여 옷을 찢고 통곡하였으므로 나도 네 말을 들었노라 여호와가 말하였느니라 28그러므로 내가 너로 너의 열조에게 돌아가서 평안히 묘실로 들어가게 하리니 내가 이곳과 그 거민에게 내리는 모든 재앙을 네가 눈으로 보지 못하리라 하셨느니라 사자들이 왕에게 복명하니라 29왕이 보내어 유다와 예루살렘의 모든 장로를 불러 모으고 30이에 여호와의 전에 올라가매 유다 모든 사람과 예루살렘 거민과 제사장들과 레위 사람들과 모든 백성이 무론노소하고 다 함께한지라 왕이 여호와의 전 안에서 발견한 연약책의 모든 말씀을 읽어 무리의 귀에 들리고 31왕이 자기 처소에 서서 여호와 앞에서 언약을 세우되 마음을 다하고 성품을 다하여 여호와를 순종하고 그 계명과 법도와 율례를 지켜 이 책에 기록된 언약의 말씀을 이루리라 하고 32예루살렘과 베냐민에 있는 자들로 다 이에 참가하게 하매 예루살렘 거민이 하나님 곧 그 열조의 하나님의 언약을 좇으니라 33이와 같이 요시야가 이스라엘 자손에게 속한 모든 땅에서 가증한 것을 다 제하여 버리고 이스라엘의 모든 사람으로 그 하나님 여호와를 섬기게 하였으므로 요시야가 사는 날에 백성이 그 열조의 하나님 여호와께 복종하고 떠나지 아니하였더라

1Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. 2He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and walked in the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 3For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherah poles, and the engraved images, and the molten images. 4They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; and the incense altars that were on high above them he cut down; and the Asherah poles, and the engraved images, and the molten images, he broke in pieces, and made dust of them, and strewed it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them. 5He burnt the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem. 6He did this in the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even to Naphtali, around in their ruins. 7He broke down the altars, and beat the Asherah poles and the engraved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem. 8Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair Yahweh’s house his God. 9They came to Hilkiah the high priest, and delivered the money that was brought into God’s house, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 10They delivered it into the hand of the workmen who had the oversight of Yahweh’s house; and the workmen who labored in Yahweh’s house gave it to mend and repair the house; 11even to the carpenters and to the builders gave they it, to buy cut stone, and timber for couplings, and to make beams for the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed. 12The men did the work faithfully: and their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and others of the Levites, all who were skillful with instruments of music. 13Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and set forward all who did the work in every kind of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters. 14When they brought out the money that was brought into Yahweh’s house, Hilkiah the priest found the book of Yahweh’s law given by Moses. 15Hilkiah answered Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in Yahweh’s house.” Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan. 16Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought back word to the king, saying, “All that was committed to your servants, they are doing. 17They have emptied out the money that was found in Yahweh’s house, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of the workmen.” 18Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book.” Shaphan read therein before the king. 19When the king had heard the words of the law, he tore his clothes. 20The king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying, 21“Go inquire of Yahweh for me, and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the wrath of Yahweh that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept Yahweh’s word, to do according to all that is written in this book.” 22So Hilkiah, and they whom the king had commanded, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter;) and they spoke to her to that effect. 23She said to them, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘Tell the man who sent you to me, 24“Thus says Yahweh, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on this place, and on its inhabitants, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah. 25Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore is my wrath poured out on this place, and it shall not be quenched.’”’ 26But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Yahweh, thus you shall tell him, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: “As touching the words which you have heard, 27because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God, when you heard his words against this place, and against its inhabitants, and have humbled yourself before me, and have torn your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard you,” says Yahweh. 28“Behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, neither shall your eyes see all the evil that I will bring on this place, and on its inhabitants.”’” They brought back word to the king. 29Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. 30The king went up to Yahweh’s house, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, both great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in Yahweh’s house. 31The king stood in his place, and made a covenant before Yahweh, to walk after Yahweh, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book. 32He caused all who were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand. The inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers. 33Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all who were found in Israel to serve, even to serve Yahweh their God. All his days they didn’t depart from following Yahweh, the God of their fathers.

1Josia was acht jaren oud, toen hij koning werd, en regeerde een en dertig jaren te Jeruzalem. 2En hij deed dat recht was in de ogen des HEEREN, en wandelde in de wegen van zijn vader David, en week niet af ter rechter hand, noch ter linkerhand. 3Want in het achtste jaar zijner regering, toen hij nog een jongeling was, begon hij den God zijns vaders Davids te zoeken; en in het twaalfde jaar begon hij Juda en Jeruzalem van de hoogten en de bossen, en de gesneden en de gegoten beelden te reinigen. 4En men brak voor zijn aangezicht af de altaren der Baals; en de zonnebeelden, die omhoog boven dezelve waren, hieuw hij af; de bossen ook, en de gesneden en gegoten beelden verbrak, en vergruisde, en strooide hij op de graven dergenen, die hun geofferd hadden. 5En de beenderen der priesteren verbrandde hij op hun altaren; en hij reinigde Juda en Jeruzalem. 6Daartoe in de steden van Manasse, en Efraim, en Simeon, ja, tot Nafthali toe, in haar woeste plaatsen rondom, 7Brak hij ook de altaren af en de bossen, en de gesneden beelden stampte hij, die vergruizende, en al de zonnebeelden hieuw hij af in het ganse land van Israel; daarna keerde hij weder naar Jeruzalem. 8In het achttiende jaar nu zijner regering als hij het land en het huis gereinigd had, zond hij Safan, den zoon van Azalia, en Maaseja, den overste der stad, en Joha, den zoon van Joahaz, den kanselier, om het huis des HEEREN, zijns Gods, te verbeteren. 9En zij kwamen tot Hilkia, den hogepriester, en zij gaven het geld, dat ten huize Gods gebracht was, hetwelk de Levieten, die den dorpel bewaarden, vergaderd hadden uit de hand van Manasse en Efraim, en uit het ganse overblijfsel van Israel, en uit gans Juda en Benjamin, en te Jeruzalem wedergekomen waren; 10Zij nu gaven het in de hand der verzorgers van het werk, die besteld waren over het huis des HEEREN, en deze gaven dat dengenen, die het werk deden, die arbeidden aan het huis des HEEREN, om het huis te vermaken en te verbeteren. 11Want zij gaven het den werkmeesters en de bouwlieden, om gehouwen stenen te kopen, en hout tot de samenvoegingen, en om de huizen te zolderen, die de koningen van Juda verdorven hadden. 12En die mannen handelden trouwelijk in dit werk; en de bestelden over dezelve waren Jahath en Obadja, Levieten van de kinderen van Merari, mitsgaders Zacharia en Mesullam, van de kinderen der Kohathieten, om het werk voort te drijven; en die Levieten waren allen verstandig op instrumenten van muziek. 13Zij waren ook over de lastdragers, en de voortdrijvers van allen, die in enig werk arbeidden; want uit de Levieten waren schrijvers, en ambtlieden, en poortiers. 14En als zij het geld uitnamen, dat in het huis des HEEREN gebracht was, vond de priester Hilkia het wetboek des HEEREN, gegeven door de hand van Mozes. 15En Hilkia antwoordde en zeide tot Safan, de schrijver: Ik heb het wetboek gevonden in het huis des HEEREN. En Hilkia gaf Safan dat boek. 16En Safan droeg dat boek tot den koning; daarbenevens bracht hij nog den koning bescheid weder, zeggende: Al wat in de hand uwer knechten gegeven is, dat doen zij; 17En zij hebben het geld samengestort, dat in het huis des HEEREN gevonden is, en hebben het gegeven in de hand der bestelden, en in de hand dergenen, die het werk maakten. 18Voorts gaf Safan, de schrijver, den koning te kennen, zeggende: Hilkia, de priester, heeft mij een boek gegeven. En Safan las daarin voor het aangezicht des konings. 19Het geschiedde nu, als de koning de woorden der wet hoorde, dat hij zijn klederen scheurde. 20En de koning gebood Hilkia, en Ahikam, den zoon van Safan, en Abdon, den zoon van Micha, en Safan, den schrijver, en Asaja, den knecht des konings, zeggende: 21Gaat heen, vraagt den HEERE voor mij, en voor het overgeblevene in Israel en in Juda, over de woorden dezes boeks, dat gevonden is; want de grimmigheid des HEEREN is groot, die over ons uitgegoten is, omdat onze vaders niet hebben gehouden het woord des HEEREN, om te doen naar al hetgeen in dat boek geschreven is. 22Toen ging Hilkia henen, en die des konings waren, tot de profetes Hulda, de huisvrouw van Sallum, den zoon van Tokhath, den zoon van Hasra, den klederbewaarder. Zij nu woonde te Jeruzalem in het tweede deel; en zij spraken zulks tot haar. 23En zij zeide tot hen: Zo zegt de HEERE, de God Israels: Zegt den man, die ulieden tot mij gezonden heeft: 24Zo zegt de HEERE: Zie, Ik zal kwaad over deze plaats en over haar inwoners brengen; al de vloeken, die geschreven zijn in het boek, dat men voor het aangezicht des konings van Juda gelezen heeft. 25Daarom dat zij Mij verlaten, en anderen goden gerookt hebben, opdat zij Mij tot toorn verwekten met alle werken hunner handen; zo zal Mijn grimmigheid uitgegoten worden tegen deze plaats, en niet uitgeblust worden. 26Maar tot den koning van Juda, die ulieden gezonden heeft, om den HEERE te vragen, tot hem zult gij alzo zeggen: Zo zegt de HEERE, de God Israels: Aangaande de woorden, die gij hebt gehoord; 27Omdat uw hart week geworden is, en gij u voor het aangezicht Gods vernederd hebt, als gij Zijn woorden hoordet tegen deze plaats en tegen haar inwoners, en hebt u vernederd voor Mijn aangezicht, en uw klederen gescheurd, en geweend voor Mijn aangezicht, zo heb Ik u ook verhoord, spreekt de HEERE. 28Zie, Ik zal u verzamelen tot uw vaderen, en gij zult met vrede in uw graf verzameld worden, en uw ogen zullen al dat kwaad niet zien, dat Ik over deze plaats en over haar inwoners brengen zal. En zij brachten den koning dit antwoord weder. 29Toen zond de koning henen, en verzamelde alle oudsten van Juda en Jeruzalem. 30En de koning ging op in het huis des HEEREN, en al de mannen van Juda en de inwoners van Jeruzalem, mitsgaders de priesters en de Levieten, en al het volk, van den grote tot den kleine toe; en men las voor hun oren al de woorden van het boek des verbonds, dat in het huis des HEEREN gevonden was. 31En de koning stond in zijn standplaats, en maakte een verbond voor des HEEREN aangezicht, om den HEERE na te wandelen, en om Zijn geboden, en Zijn getuigenissen, en Zijn inzettingen, met zijn ganse hart en met zijn ganse ziel, te onderhouden, doende de woorden des verbonds, die in datzelve boek geschreven zijn. 32En hij deed allen, die te Jeruzalem en in Benjamin gevonden werden, staan; en de inwoners van Jeruzalem deden naar het verbond van God, den God hunner vaderen. 33Josia dan deed alle gruwelen weg uit alle landen, die der kinderen Israels waren, en maakte allen, die in Israel gevonden werden, te dienen; te dienen den HEERE, hun God; al zijn dagen weken zij niet af van den HEERE, den God hunner vaderen, na te volgen.
