JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1約西亞 登基的時候年八歲，在 耶路撒冷 作王三十一年。
1Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem.
2他行耶和華眼中看為正的事，效法他祖 大衛 所行的，不偏左右。
2And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.
3他作王第八年，尚且年幼，就尋求他祖 大衛 的上帝。到了十二年才潔淨 猶大 和 耶路撒冷 ，除掉邱壇、木偶、雕刻的像，和鑄造的像。
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 Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images.
4眾人在他面前拆毀 巴力 的壇，砍斷壇上高高的日像，又把木偶和雕刻的像，並鑄造的像打碎成灰，撒在祭偶像人的墳上，
4And they broke down the altars of the Baalim in his presence; and the sun-images, that were on high above them, he hewed down; and the Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images, he broke in pieces, and made dust of them, and strewed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them.
5將他們祭司的骸骨燒在壇上，潔淨了 猶大 和 耶路撒冷 ；
5And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
6又在 瑪拿西 、 以法蓮 、 西緬 、 拿弗他利 各城，和四圍破壞之處， 都這樣行 ；
6And so did he in the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their axes round about.
7又拆毀祭壇，把木偶和雕刻的像打碎成灰，砍斷 以色列 遍地所有的日像，就回 耶路撒冷 去了。
7And he broke down the altars, and beat the Asherim and the graven images into powder, and hewed down all the sun-images throughout all the land of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem.
8約西亞 王十八年，淨地淨殿之後，就差遣 亞薩利雅 的兒子 沙番 、邑宰 瑪西雅 、 約哈斯 的兒子史官 約亞 去修理耶和華－他上帝的殿。
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 the house of the LORD his God.
9他們就去見大祭司 希勒家 ，將奉到上帝殿的銀子交給他；這銀子是看守殿門的 利未 人從 瑪拿西 、 以法蓮 ，和一切 以色列 剩下的人，以及 猶大 、 便雅憫 眾人，並 耶路撒冷 的居民收來的。
9And they came to Hilkiah the high priest, and delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the door, had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin, and they returned to Jerusalem.
10又將這銀子交給耶和華殿裏督工的，轉交修理耶和華殿的工匠，
10And they delivered it into the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the LORD; and the workmen that wrought in the house of the LORD gave it to mend and repair the house;
11就是交給木匠、石匠，買鑿成的石頭和架木與棟樑，修 猶大 王所毀壞的殿。
11even to the carpenters and to the builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to make beams for the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
12這些人辦事誠實，督工的是 利未 人 米拉利 的子孫 雅哈 、 俄巴底 ；督催的是 哥轄 的子孫 撒迦利亞 、 米書蘭 ；還有善於作樂的 利未 人。
12And the men did the work faithfully; and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to preside over it; and other of the Levites, all that had skill with instruments of music.
13他們又監管扛抬的人，督催一切做工的。 利未 人中也有作書記、作司事、作守門的。
13Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and presided over all that did the work in every manner of service; and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.
14他們將奉到耶和華殿的銀子運出來的時候，祭司 希勒家 偶然 得了 摩西 所傳耶和華的律法書。
14And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the Law of the LORD given by Moses.
15希勒家 對書記 沙番 說：「我在耶和華殿裏得了律法書。」遂將書遞給 沙番 。
15and Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe: 'I have found the book of the Law in the house of the LORD.' And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.
16沙番 把書拿到王那裏，回覆王說：「凡交給僕人們辦的都辦理了。
16And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought back word unto the king, saying: 'All that was committed to thy servants, they do it.
17耶和華殿裏的銀子倒出來，交給督工的和匠人的手裏了。」
17And they have poured out the money that was found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of the workmen.'
18書記 沙番 又對王說：「祭司 希勒家 遞給我一卷書。」 沙番 就在王面前讀那書。
18And Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying: 'Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book.' And Shaphan read therein before the king.
19王聽見律法上的話，就撕裂衣服，
19And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the Law, that he rent his clothes.
20吩咐 希勒家 與 沙番 的兒子 亞希甘 、 米迦 的兒子 亞比頓 、書記 沙番 ，和王的臣僕 亞撒雅 說：
20And the 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「你們去為我、為 以色列 和 猶大 剩下的人，以這書上的話求問耶和華；因我們列祖沒有遵守耶和華的言語，沒有照這書上所記的去行，耶和華的烈怒就倒在我們身上。」
21'Go ye, inquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do according unto all that is written in this book.'
22於是， 希勒家 和王所派的眾人都去見女先知 戶勒大 。 戶勒大 是掌管禮服 沙龍 的妻， 沙龍 是 哈斯拉 的孫子、 特瓦 的兒子。 戶勒大 住在 耶路撒冷 第二區；他們請問於她。
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 dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter — and they spoke to her to that effect.
23她對他們說：「耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說：『你們可以回覆那差遣你們來見我的人說，
23And she said unto them: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Tell ye the man that sent you unto me:
24耶和華如此說：我必照着在 猶大 王面前所讀那書上的一切咒詛，降禍與這地和其上的居民；
24Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah;
25因為他們離棄我，向別神燒香，用他們手所做的惹我發怒，所以我的忿怒 如火 倒在這地上，總不熄滅。』
25because they have forsaken Me, and have offered unto other gods, that they might provoke Me with all the works of their hands; therefore is My wrath poured out upon this place, and it shall not be quenched.
26然而差遣你們來求問耶和華的 猶大 王，你們要這樣回覆他說：『耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說：至於你所聽見的話，
26But unto the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him: Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: As touching the words which thou hast heard,
27就是聽見我指着這地和其上居民所說的話，你便心裏敬服，在我面前自卑，撕裂衣服，向我哭泣，因此我應允了你。這是我－耶和華說的。
27because thy heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest His words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and hast humbled thyself before Me, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before Me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD.
28我必使你平平安安地歸到墳墓，到你列祖那裏，我要降與這地和其上居民的一切災禍，你也不致親眼看見。』」他們就回覆王去了。
28Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof.' And they brought back word unto the king.
29王差遣人招聚 猶大 和 耶路撒冷 的眾長老來。
29Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
30王和 猶大 眾人，與 耶路撒冷 的居民，並祭司 利未 人，以及所有的百姓，無論大小，都一同上到耶和華的殿；王就把殿裏所得的約書念給他們聽。
30And the king went up to the house of the LORD, 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 the house of the LORD.
31王站在他的地位上，在耶和華面前立約，要盡心盡性地順從耶和華，遵守他的誡命、法度、律例，成就這書上所記的約言；
31And 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 with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.
32又使住 耶路撒冷 和 便雅憫 的人都服從 這約 。於是 耶路撒冷 的居民都遵行他們列祖之上帝的約。
32And he caused all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
33約西亞 從 以色列 各處將一切可憎之物盡都除掉，使 以色列 境內的人都事奉耶和華－他們的上帝。 約西亞 在世的日子，就跟從耶和華－他們列祖的上帝，總不離開。
33And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were found in Israel to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. All his days they departed not from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
