II - Chapter 22

1Yoshiyahu was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Yerushalayim. His mother's name was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.

2He did what was pleasing to Hashem and he followed all the ways of his ancestor David; he did not deviate to the right or to the left.

3In the eighteenth year of King Yoshiyahu, the king sent the scribe Shafan son of Azaliah son of Meshullam to the House of Hashem, saying,

vai-HI b'-sh'-MO-neh e-s'-RAY sha-NAH la-ME-lekh yo-shi-YA-hu, sha-LAKH ha-ME-lekh et sha-FAN ben a-tsal-YA-hu ben m'-shu-LAM ha-SO-fer, BAYT a-do-NAI lay-MOR.

4“Go to the Kohen Gadol Chilkiyahu and let him weigh the silver that has been deposited in the House of Hashem, which the guards of the threshold have collected from the people.

5And let it be delivered to the overseers of the work who are in charge at the House of Hashem, that they in turn may pay it out to the workmen that are in the House of Hashem, for the repair of the House:

6to the carpenters, the laborers, and the masons, and for the purchase of wood and quarried stones for repairing the House.

7However, no check is to be kept on them for the silver that is delivered to them, for they deal honestly.”

8Then the Kohen Gadol Chilkiyahu said to the scribe Shafan, “I have found a scroll of the Teaching in the House of Hashem.” And Chilkiyahu gave the scroll to Shafan, who read it.

vai-YO-mer khil-ki-YA-hu ha-ko-HAYN ha-ga-DOL al sha-FAN ha-SO-fer, SE-fer ha-TO-ra ma-tza-TEE b'-BAYT a-do-NAI, vai-YI-ten khil-ki-YA et ha-SE-fer el sha-FAN, vai-YIK-ra-E-hu

9The scribe Shafan then went to the king and reported to the king: “Your servants have melted down the silver that was deposited in the House, and they have delivered it to the overseers of the work who are in charge at the House of Hashem.”

vai-YA-vo sha-FAN ha-SO-fayr el ha-ME-lekh, vai-YA-shev et ha-ME-lekh DA-var, vai-YO-mer hi-TI-khu a-va-DE-kha et ha-KE-sef ha-nim-TZA va-ba-YIT, vai-YIT-nu-HU al-YAD o-SAY ha-me-la-KHA ha-muf-ka-DEEM BAYT a-do-NAI.

10The scribe Shafan also told the king, “The Kohen Gadol Chilkiyahu has given me a scroll”; and Shafan read it to the king.

11When the king heard the words of the scroll of the Teaching, he rent his clothes.

12And the king gave orders to the Kohen Chilkiyahu, and to Achikam son of Shafan, Achbor son of Michaiah, the scribe Shafan, and Asaiah the king's minister:

vai-TZAV ha-ME-lekh et-khil-ki-YAH ha-ko-HAYN v'-et-a-khi-KAM ben-SHA-fan v'-et-aKH-vor ben-mi-KHA-yah v'-ET sha-FAN ha-SO-fer v'-ET a-sa-YAH e-ved-ha-ME-lekh lay-MOR

13“Go, inquire of Hashem on my behalf, and on behalf of the people, and on behalf of all Yehuda, concerning the words of this scroll that has been found. For great indeed must be the wrath of Hashem that has been kindled against us, because our fathers did not obey the words of this scroll to do all that has been prescribed for us.”

14So the Kohen Chilkiyahu, and Achikam, Achbor, Shafan, and Asaiah went to the Neviah Chulda—the wife of Shalum son of Tikvah son of Harhas, the keeper of the wardrobe—who was living in Yerushalayim in the Mishneh, and they spoke to her.

15She responded: “Thus said Hashem, the God of Yisrael: Say to the man who sent you to me:

va-TOM-er a-LE-hem KOH a-MAR a-do-NAI e-lo-HEI yis-ra-AYL im-ROO la-ISH a-SHER sha-LAKH et-KHEM e-LAI

16Thus said Hashem: I am going to bring disaster upon this place and its inhabitants, in accordance with all the words of the scroll which the king of Yehuda has read.

KO a-MAR a-do-NAI, hin-NEE me-VEE ra-AH el ha-ma-KOM ha-ZEH v'-al yo-SHE-vav, AYT kol di-VREI ha-SE-fer a-SHER ka-RA me-LEKH ye-HU-da

17Because they have forsaken Me and have made offerings to other gods and vexed Me with all their deeds, My wrath is kindled against this place and it shall not be quenched.

ta-KHAT a-SHER a-za-VU-NEE va-y'-ka-t'-RU le-lo-HEEM a-khe-REEM l'-ma-an ha-k'-ee-SAY-NEE b'-KOL ma-a-SAY y'-de-HAYM v'-ni-TZ'-ta kha-MA-tee ba-ma-KOM ha-ZEH v'-lo tikh-BEH

18But say this to the king of Yehuda, who sent you to inquire of Hashem: Thus said Hashem, the God of Yisrael: As for the words which you have heard

v'-el me-LEKH y'-hu-DA ha-SHO-le-akh et-KHEM lid-ROSH et a-do-NAI, KO to-M'-RU e-LAV, KO-a-MAR a-do-NAI, e-lo-HAY yis-ra-AYL, ha-d'-va-REEM a-SHER sha-MA-ta.

19because your heart was softened and you humbled yourself before Hashem when you heard what I decreed against this place and its inhabitants—that it will become a desolation and a curse—and because you rent your clothes and wept before Me, I for My part have listened—declares Hashem.

ya-AN rakh-l'-va-VE-kha va-ti-ka-NA mi-p'-NAY a-do-NAI b'-sho-m'-A-kha a-SHER di-BAR-tee al ha-ma-KOM ha-ZEH v'-al yo-sh'-VA-yav li-H'-YOT l'-sha-MAH v'-lik-la-LAH va-tik-RA et b'-ga-DE-kha va-tiv-KHEH l'-fa-NAI v'-GAM a-NO-khee sha-MA-tee n'-UM a-do-NAI

20Assuredly, I will gather you to your fathers and you will be laid in your tomb in peace. Your eyes shall not see all the disaster which I will bring upon this place.” So they brought back the reply to the king.
