유다 왕 요시야

(대하 34:1-2)

22 요시야는 여덟 살에 왕이 되어 예루살렘에서 삼십일 년 동안 다스렸다. 그의 어머니는 보스갓 사람 아디야의 딸 여디다였다. 그는 주께서 보시기에 옳은 일을 하였으며 그의 조상 다윗의 길을 오른쪽으로도 왼쪽으로도 벗어나지 않고 그대로 따라 걸었다.

요시야가 성전을 수리하도록 명령하다

(대하 34:9-13)

요시야 왕 제십팔년에 왕은 므술람의 손자이며 아살리야의 아들인 서기관 사반을 주의 성전으로 보내며 말하였다. “대제사장 힐기야에게 올라가서 이렇게 말하시오. ‘성전에 들어온 돈, 곧 성전 문지기들이 백성에게서 거두어들인 돈을 계산하여, 그 돈을 주의 성전 공사를 감독하라고 세운 사람들에게 맡기시오. 그리고 그들에게 그 돈을 주의 성전을 수리하는 일꾼들의 품삯으로 주라고 하시오. 목수들, 건축자들, 돌로 벽을 쌓는 석공들에게 주라고 하시오. 그리고 성전을 수리하는 데 필요한 목재와 캐어낸 돌을 사라고 하시오. 그들은 정직한 사람들이니 그 돈에 대한 계산서는 필요하지 않소.’”

성전에서 율법책을 발견하다

(대하 34:14-21)

대제사장 힐기야가 서기관 사반에게 말하였다. “보십시오, 제가 주의 성전에서 율법책[a]을 발견하였습니다.” 힐기야가 율법책을 사반에게 주니 그가 그 책을 읽어보았다. 서기관 사반이 요시야 왕에게 가서 보고하였다. “임금님의 신하들이 주의 성전에 있던 돈을 모두 모아서 주의 성전 공사를 감독하는 사람들에게 맡겼습니다.” 10 그런 다음 서기관 사반은 왕에게 “대제사장 힐기야가 저에게 책을 한 권을 주었습니다.”라고 말하였다. 그리고 그는 그 책을 왕 앞에서 소리 내어 읽었다.

11 왕이 그 율법책에 적힌 말씀을 듣고 자신의 겉옷을 찢었다. 12 그러고는 대제사장 힐기야와 사반의 아들 아히감, 미기야의 아들 악볼과 서기관 사반, 왕의 시종 아사야에게 이런 명령을 내렸다. 13 “그대들은 주께 나아가서 이번에 발견된 이 책에 기록된 말씀에 관하여 여쭈어 보시오. 나와 이 백성과 온 유다를 위하여 그대들이 여쭈어 보시오. 우리 조상은 이 책에 적힌 말씀에 순종하지 않았소. 그리고 우리가 살아가야 할 길에 관하여 이 책에 기록된 모든 명령에 따르지 않았소. 그리하여 우리를 향해 불타고 있는 주의 진노가 너무나 크오.”

요시야와 여자 예언자 훌다

(대하 34:22-28)

14 그리하여 대제사장 힐기야, 아히감, 악볼, 사반, 아사야가 여자 예언자 훌다를 찾아갔다. 훌다는 예복 담당자인 살룸의 아내였는데, 살룸은 디과의 아들이며 할하스의 손자였다. 훌다는 예루살렘의 제 이 구역[b]에 살고 있었다. 그들은 그곳에서 훌다의 의견을 물었다.

15 훌다가 그들에게 말하였다. “주 이스라엘의 하나님께서 이렇게 말씀하시니 여러분을 나에게 보내신 분에게 가서 그대로 전하십시오. 16 ‘나 주가 말한다. 유다 왕이 읽은 그 책에 있는 모든 말대로 내가 이 곳과 이 곳 사람들에게 재앙을 내리겠다. 17 그들이 나를 버리고 다른 신들에게 분향하였고, 그들의 손으로 만든 모든 우상으로[c] 나의 화를 돋우었기 때문이다. 그러므로 이곳을 향한 나의 분노가 불같이 타오를 것이니, 아무도 그것을 끄지 못할 것이다.’

18 주의 뜻을 여쭈어 보라고 여러분을 나에게 보낸 유다 왕에게 이 말도 전하십시오. ‘나 주 이스라엘의 하나님이 네가 들은 말을 설명해 주겠다. 19 너는 이곳이 황폐해지고 이곳에 사는 사람들이 저주를 받을 것이라는 나의 말을 들었다. 그때에 네가 깊이 뉘우치고, 나 주 앞에 겸손히 무릎을 꿇으며, 네 겉옷을 찢고, 내 앞에서 통곡하였다. 그러므로 내가 네 기도를 들어준다. 나 주가 말한다. 20 그러므로 네가 죽어 네 조상들에게 돌아가는 날 너는 평안히 묻힐 것이다. 너는 내가 이 곳에 내리려고 하는 이 모든 재앙을 보지 않을 것이다.’”

그들이 돌아와서 그 여자 예언자의 대답을 왕에게 전하였다.

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.

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.

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,

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:

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,

Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.

Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.

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.

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.

The Book of the Law Found(A)

22 Josiah(B) was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. His mother’s name was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah; she was from Bozkath.(C) He did what was right(D) in the eyes of the Lord and followed completely the ways of his father David, not turning aside to the right(E) or to the left.

In the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah sent the secretary, Shaphan(F) son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, to the temple of the Lord. He said: “Go up to Hilkiah(G) the high priest and have him get ready the money that has been brought into the temple of the Lord, which the doorkeepers have collected(H) from the people. Have them entrust it to the men appointed to supervise the work on the temple. And have these men pay the workers who repair(I) the temple of the Lord the carpenters, the builders and the masons. Also have them purchase timber and dressed stone to repair the temple.(J) But they need not account for the money entrusted to them, because they are honest in their dealings.”(K)

Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the secretary, “I have found the Book of the Law(L) in the temple of the Lord.” He gave it to Shaphan, who read it. Then Shaphan the secretary went to the king and reported to him: “Your officials have paid out the money that was in the temple of the Lord and have entrusted it to the workers and supervisors at the temple.” 10 Then Shaphan the secretary informed the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read from it in the presence of the king.(M)

11 When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law,(N) he tore his robes. 12 He gave these orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam(O) son of Shaphan, Akbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the secretary and Asaiah the king’s attendant:(P) 13 “Go and inquire(Q) of the Lord for me and for the people and for all Judah about what is written in this book that has been found. Great is the Lord’s anger(R) that burns against us because those who have gone before us have not obeyed the words of this book; they have not acted in accordance with all that is written there concerning us.”

14 Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Akbor, Shaphan and Asaiah went to speak to the prophet(S) Huldah, who was the wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the New Quarter.

15 She said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me, 16 ‘This is what the Lord says: I am going to bring disaster(T) on this place and its people, according to everything written in the book(U) the king of Judah has read. 17 Because they have forsaken(V) me and burned incense to other gods and aroused my anger by all the idols their hands have made,[a] my anger will burn against this place and will not be quenched.’ 18 Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire(W) of the Lord, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says concerning the words you heard: 19 Because your heart was responsive and you humbled(X) yourself before the Lord when you heard what I have spoken against this place and its people—that they would become a curse[b](Y) and be laid waste(Z)—and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I also have heard you, declares the Lord. 20 Therefore I will gather you to your ancestors, and you will be buried in peace.(AA) Your eyes(AB) will not see all the disaster I am going to bring on this place.’”

So they took her answer back to the king.
