2 Hari 22:1-20

Ang Paghahari ni Josia sa Juda

(2 Cro. 34:1-2)

1Si Josia ay walong taong gulang nang maging hari ng Juda. Sa Jerusalem siya tumira, at naghari siya roon sa loob ng 31 taon. Ang ina niya ay si Jedida na taga-Bozkat at anak ni Adaya. 2Matuwid ang ginawa niya sa paningin ng Panginoon at sumunod siya sa pamumuhay ng ninuno niyang si David. At lubos siyang sumunod sa mga utos ng Dios.

Natagpuan sa Templo ang Aklat ng Kautusan

(2 Cro. 34:8-28)

3Nang ika-18 taon ng paghahari ni Josia, pinapunta niya sa templo ng Panginoon ang kanyang kalihim na si Shafan, na anak ni Azalia at apo ni Meshulam at sinabi, 4“Pumunta ka sa punong pari na si Hilkia at ipaipon mo sa kanya ang perang dinala ng mga tao sa templo ng Panginoon, na kinolekta ng mga paring nagbabantay sa pintuan ng templo. 5Sabihin mo na ibigay niya ito sa mga taong pinagkakatiwalaang mamahala sa pagpapaayos ng templo, para ibayad sa mga manggagawa sa templo ng Panginoon – 6ang mga karpintero at mga kantero. Ang ibang pera ay ibibili nila ng mga kahoy at mga hinating bato na kailangan sa pagpapaayos ng templo. 7Hindi na sila kailangan pang hanapan ng listahan kung paano ginastos ang pera dahil mapagkakatiwalaan sila.”

8Sinabi ni Hilkia na punong pari kay Shafan na kalihim, “Nakita ko ang Aklat ng Kautusan sa templo ng Panginoon.” Ibinigay ni Hilkia ang aklat kay Shafan at binasa niya ito. 9Pagkatapos, pumunta si Shafan sa hari at sinabi, “Kinuha na po ng mga opisyal ninyo ang pera sa templo at ibinigay sa mga katiwala na itinalaga sa pagpapaayos ng templo.” 10Sinabi pa niya sa hari, “May ibinigay na aklat sa akin ang paring si Hilkia.” At binasa niya ito sa harapan ng hari.

11Nang marinig ng hari ang nakasulat sa Aklat ng Kautusan, pinunit niya ang kanyang damit bilang pagpapakita ng kalungkutan niya. 12Inutusan niya sina Hilkia na pari, Ahikam na anak ni Shafan, Acbor na anak ni Micaya, Shafan na kalihim at Asaya na personal niyang lingkod. Sinabi niya, 13“Magtanong kayo sa Panginoon para sa akin at para sa mga mamamayan ng Juda tungkol sa nakasulat sa aklat na ito. Galit na galit ang Panginoon sa atin dahil hindi sumunod ang mga ninuno natin sa nakasulat dito. Hindi natin ginagawa ang mga ipinatutupad ng aklat na ito.”

14Kaya pumunta ang paring si Hilkia, Ahikam, Acbor, Shafan at Asaya sa babaeng propeta na si Hulda para makipag-usap. Nakatira si Hulda sa ikalawang distrito ng Jerusalem. Asawa siya ni Shalum na anak ni Tikva at apo ni Harhas. Si Shalum ang namamahala ng mga damit sa templo.

15-16Sinabi ni Hulda sa kanila, “Sabihin ninyo sa taong nagpadala sa inyo sa akin na ito ang sinasabi ng Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel: ‘Lilipulin ko ang lugar na ito at ang mga naninirahan dito, ayon sa nasusulat sa aklat na binasa mo. 17Ipapakita ko ang galit ko sa lugar na ito at hindi ito titigil, dahil itinakwil ako ng aking mga mamamayan at sumamba sila22:17 sumamba sila: sa Hebreo, nagsunog sila ng insenso, na isang paraan ng pagsamba. sa ibang mga dios. Ginalit nila ako sa mga ginawa nila.’22:17 sa mga ginawa nila: o, sa mga dios-diosang ginawa nila.

18“Sabihin ninyo sa hari ng Juda na nagpadala sa inyo para magtanong sa Panginoon, na hindi siya dapat mabahala sa mensaheng ito, dahil ito ang sinasabi ng Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel: 19Pinakinggan ko ang panalangin mo dahil nagsisi ka at nagpakumbaba sa harapan ko nang marinig mo ang sinabi ko na susumpain at lilipulin ko ang lugar na ito at ang mga naninirahan dito. Pinunit mo pa ang iyong damit at umiyak sa harapan ko dahil sa pagsisisi. Kaya ako, ang Panginoon, ay nagsasabi na 20habang buhay ka pa, hindi darating ang kapahamakan na ipapadala ko sa lugar na ito. Mamamatay ka nang may kapayapaan.”

At sinabi nila sa hari ang isinagot ni Hulda.

2 Kings 22:1-20

Hilkiah Finds the Book of the Law

1Josiah was eight years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for 31 years. His mother’s name was Jedidah. She was the daughter of Adaiah. She was from Bozkath. 2Josiah did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. He lived the way King David had lived. He didn’t turn away from it to the right or the left.

3King Josiah sent his secretary Shaphan to the Lord’s temple. It was in the 18th year of Josiah’s rule. Shaphan was the son of Azaliah. Azaliah was the son of Meshullam. Josiah said, 4“Go up to Hilkiah the high priest. Have him add up the money that has been brought into the Lord’s temple. The men who guard the doors have collected it from the people. 5Have them put all the money in the care of certain men. These men have been put in charge of the work on the Lord’s temple. Have them pay the workers who repair it. 6Have them pay the builders and those who work with wood. Have them pay those who lay the stones. Also have them buy lumber and blocks of stone to repair the temple. 7But they don’t have to report how they use the money that is given to them. That’s because they are completely honest.”

8Hilkiah the high priest spoke to Shaphan the secretary. Hilkiah said, “I’ve found the Book of the Law in the Lord’s temple.” Hilkiah gave it to Shaphan, who read it. 9Then Shaphan went to King Josiah. Shaphan told him, “Your officials have paid out the money that was in the Lord’s temple. They’ve put it in the care of the workers and directors there.” 10Shaphan continued, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” Shaphan read some of it to the king.

11The king heard the words of the Book of the Law. When he did, he tore his royal robes. 12He gave orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Akbor, Shaphan the secretary and Asaiah. Ahikam was the son of Shaphan. Akbor was the son of Micaiah. And Asaiah was the king’s attendant. Josiah commanded them, 13“Go. Ask the Lord for advice. Ask him about what is written in this book that has been found. Do it for me. Also do it for the people and the whole nation of Judah. The Lord is very angry with us. That’s because our people who have lived before us didn’t obey the words of this book. They didn’t do everything written there about us.”

14Hilkiah the priest went to speak to Huldah the prophet. So did Ahikam, Akbor, Shaphan and Asaiah. Huldah was the wife of Shallum. Shallum was the son of Tikvah. Tikvah was the son of Harhas. Shallum took care of the sacred robes. Huldah lived in the New Quarter of Jerusalem.

15Huldah said to them, “The Lord is the God of Israel. He says, ‘Here is what you must tell the man who sent you to me. 16Tell him, “The Lord says, ‘I am going to bring horrible trouble on this place and its people. Everything written in the book the king of Judah has read will take place. 17That’s because the people have deserted me. They have burned incense to other gods. They have made me very angry because of the statues of gods their hands have made. So my anger will burn like a fire against this place. And the fire of my anger will not be put out.’ ” ’ 18The king of Judah sent you to ask the Lord for advice. Tell him, ‘The Lord is the God of Israel. He has a message for you about the things you heard. He says, 19“Your heart was tender. You made yourself humble in the eyes of the Lord. You heard what I spoke against this place and its people. I said they would be under a curse. I told them they would be destroyed. You tore your royal robes and wept in front of me. And I have heard you,” announces the Lord. 20“You will join the members of your family who have already died. You will be buried in peace. Your eyes will not see all the trouble I am going to bring on this place.” ’ ”

Huldah’s answer was taken back to the king.
