2 Chronicles 34

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 octo annorum erat Iosias cum regnare coepisset et triginta et uno annis regnavit in Hierusalem

2 fecitque quod erat rectum in conspectu Domini et ambulavit in viis David patris sui non declinavit neque ad dexteram neque ad sinistram

3 octavo autem anno regni sui cum adhuc esset puer coepit quaerere Deum patris sui David et duodecimo anno postquam coeperat mundavit Iudam et Hierusalem ab excelsis et lucis simulacrisque et sculptilibus

4 destruxeruntque coram eo aras Baalim et simulacra quae superposita fuerant demoliti sunt lucos etiam et sculptilia succidit atque comminuit et super tumulos eorum qui eis immolare consueverant fragmenta dispersit

5 ossa praeterea sacerdotum conbusit in altaribus idolorum mundavitque Iudam et Hierusalem

6 sed et in urbibus Manasse et Ephraim et Symeon usque Nepthalim cuncta subvertit

7 cumque altaria dissipasset et lucos et sculptilia contrivisset in frusta cunctaque delubra demolitus esset de universa terra Israhel reversus est Hierusalem

8 igitur anno octavodecimo regni sui mundata iam terra et templo Domini misit Saphan filium Eseliae et Maasiam principem civitatis et Ioha filium Ioachaz a commentariis ut instaurarent domum Domini Dei sui

9 qui venerunt ad Helciam sacerdotem magnum acceptamque ab eo pecuniam quae inlata fuerat in domum Domini et quam congregaverant Levitae ianitores de Manasse et Ephraim et universis reliquiis Israhel ab omni quoque Iuda et Beniamin et habitatoribus Hierusalem

10 tradiderunt in manibus eorum qui praeerant operariis in domo Domini ut instaurarent templum et infirma quaeque sarcirent

11 at illi dederunt eam artificibus et cementariis ut emerent lapides de lapidicinis et ligna ad commissuras aedificii et ad contignationem domorum quas destruxerant reges Iuda

12 qui fideliter cuncta faciebant erant autem praepositi operantium Iaath et Abdias de filiis Merari Zaccharias et Mosollam de filiis Caath qui urguebant opus omnes Levitae scientes organis canere

13 super eos vero qui ad varios usus onera portabant erant scribae et magistri de Levitis ianitores

14 cumque efferrent pecuniam quae inlata fuerat in templum Domini repperit Helcias sacerdos librum legis Domini per manum Mosi

15 et ait ad Saphan scribam librum legis inveni in domo Domini et tradidit ei

16 at ille intulit volumen ad regem et nuntiavit ei dicens omnia quae dedisti in manu servorum tuorum ecce conplentur

17 argentum quod reppertum est in domo Domini conflaverunt datumque est praefectis artificum et diversa opera fabricantium

18 praeterea tradidit mihi Helcias sacerdos hunc librum quem cum rege praesente recitasset

19 audissetque ille verba legis scidit vestimenta sua

20 et praecepit Helciae et Ahicam filio Saphan et Abdon filio Micha Saphan quoque scribae et Asaiae servo regis dicens

21 ite et orate Dominum pro me et pro reliquiis Israhel et Iuda super universis sermonibus libri istius qui reppertus est magnus enim furor Domini stillavit super nos eo quod non custodierint patres nostri verba Domini ut facerent omnia quae scripta sunt in isto volumine

22 abiit igitur Helcias et hii qui simul a rege missi fuerant ad Holdan propheten uxorem Sellum filii Thecuath filii Hasra custodis vestium quae habitabat Hierusalem in secunda et locuti sunt ei verba quae supra narravimus

23 at illa respondit eis haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel dicite viro qui misit vos ad me

24 haec dicit Dominus ecce ego inducam mala super locum istum et super habitatores eius cunctaque maledicta quae scripta sunt in libro hoc quem legerunt coram rege Iuda

25 quia dereliquerunt me et sacrificaverunt diis alienis ut me ad iracundiam provocarent in cunctis operibus manuum suarum idcirco stillavit furor meus super locum istum et non extinguetur

26 ad regem autem Iuda qui misit vos pro Domino deprecando sic loquimini haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel quoniam audisti verba voluminis

27 atque emollitum est cor tuum et humiliatus es in conspectu Dei super his quae dicta sunt contra locum hunc et habitatores Hierusalem reveritusque faciem meam scidisti vestimenta tua et flevisti coram me ego quoque exaudivi te dicit Dominus

28 iam enim colligam te ad patres tuos et infereris in sepulchrum tuum in pace nec videbunt oculi tui omne malum quod ego inducturus sum super locum istum et super habitatores eius rettulerunt itaque regi cuncta quae dixerat

29 at ille convocatis universis maioribus natu Iuda et Hierusalem

30 ascendit domum Domini unaque omnes viri Iuda et habitatores Hierusalem sacerdotes et Levitae et cunctus populus a minimo usque ad maximum quibus audientibus in domo Domini legit rex omnia verba voluminis

31 et stans in tribunali suo percussit foedus coram Domino ut ambularet post eum et custodiret praecepta et testimonia et iustificationes eius in toto corde suo et in tota anima sua faceretque quae scripta sunt in volumine illo quem legerat

32 adiuravit quoque super hoc omnes qui repperti fuerant in Hierusalem et Beniamin et fecerunt habitatores Hierusalem iuxta pactum Domini Dei patrum suorum

33 abstulit ergo Iosias cunctas abominationes de universis regionibus filiorum Israhel et fecit omnes qui residui erant in Israhel servire Domino Deo suo cunctis diebus eius non recesserunt a Domino Deo patrum suorum

English Standard Version ESV

1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.

2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father; and he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet a boy, he began to seek the God of David his father, and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherim, and the carved and the metal images.

4 And they chopped down the altars of the Baals in his presence, and he cut down the incense altars that stood above them. And he broke in pieces the Asherim and the carved and the metal images, and he made dust of them and scattered it over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.

5 He also burned the bones of the priests on their altars and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.

6 And in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, and as far as Naphtali, in their ruins all around,

7 he broke down the altars and beat the Asherim and the images into powder and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.

8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had cleansed 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 the house of the Lord his God.

9 They came to Hilkiah the high priest and gave him the money that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had collected from Manasseh and Ephraim and from all the remnant of Israel and from all Judah and Benjamin and from the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

10 And they gave it to the workmen who were working in the house of the Lord. And the workmen who were working in the house of the Lord gave it for repairing and restoring the house.

11 They gave it to the carpenters and the builders to buy quarried stone, and timber for binders and beams for the buildings that the kings of Judah had let go to ruin.

12 And the men did the work faithfully. Over them were set Jahath and Obadiah the Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to have oversight. The Levites, all who were skillful with instruments of music,

13 were over the burden-bearers and directed all who did work in every kind of service, and some of the Levites were scribes and officials and gatekeepers.

14 While they were bringing out the money that had been brought into the house of the Lord, Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of the Lord given through Moses.

15 Then Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the secretary, “I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the Lord. ” And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan.

16 Shaphan brought the book to the king, and further reported to the king, “All that was committed to your servants they are doing.

17 They have emptied out the money that was found in the house of the Lord and have given it into the hand of the overseers and the workmen. ”

18 Then Shaphan the secretary told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book. ” And Shaphan read from it before the king.

19 And when the king heard the words of the Law, he tore his clothes.

20 And the king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the secretary, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying,

21 “Go, inquire of the Lord for me and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the Lord that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord, to do according to all that is written in this book. ”

22 So Hilkiah and those whom the king had sent went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter) and spoke to her to that effect.

23 And she said to them, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Tell the man who sent you to me,

24 Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will bring disaster upon this place and upon its inhabitants, all the curses that are written in the book that was read before the king of Judah.

25 Because they have forsaken me and have made offerings to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands, therefore my wrath will be poured out on this place and will not be quenched.

26 But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, thus shall you say to him, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Regarding the words that you have heard,

27 because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this place and its inhabitants, and you have humbled yourself before me and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you, declares the Lord.

28 Behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes shall not see all the disaster that I will bring upon this place and its inhabitants. ’” And they brought back word to the king.

29 Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.

30 And the king went up to the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the priests and the Levites, all the people both great and small. And he read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of the Lord.

31 And the king stood in his place and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes, with all his heart and all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.

32 Then he made all who were present in Jerusalem and in Benjamin join in it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.

33 And Josiah took away all the abominations from all the territory that belonged to the people of Israel and made all who were present in Israel serve the Lord their God. All his days they did not turn away from following the Lord, the God of their fathers.
