WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Josías tenía ocho años cuando comenzó a reinar en Judá, y reinó treinta y un años en Jerusalén. Su madre era Jedidá, hija de Adaías, de Boscat.
1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.
2 Josías hizo lo que agrada al Señor, pues en todo siguió el ejemplo de su antepasado David, sin desviarse en nada.
2 He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, and walked in all the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn away to the right hand or to the left.
3 En el año dieciocho de su reinado, el rey Josías envió a su secretario Safán hijo de Asalías y nieto de Mesulán, al templo del Señor a visitar al sumo sacerdote Jilquías, y le dijera: «Toma el dinero que reciben los sacerdotes en la puerta de la casa, cuando el pueblo viene a adorar,
3 In the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to Yahweh’s house, saying,
4 Not in this translation
4 “Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may count the money which is brought into Yahweh’s house, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered of the people.
5 y entrégalo a los administradores de la construcción, para que puedan contratar carpinteros y albañiles para reparar el templo del Señor, y compren madera y piedras para las reparaciones.
5 Let them deliver it into the hand of the workers who have the oversight of Yahweh’s house; and let them give it to the workers who are in Yahweh’s house, to repair the damage to the house,
6 Not in this translation
6 to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house.
7 Los administradores de la construcción no tienen que dar cuenta del dinero, porque son hombres honrados».
7 However, no accounting shall be asked of them for the money delivered into their hand, for they deal faithfully.”
8 Un día, el sumo sacerdote Jilquías fue a ver al secretario Safán, y le dijo: «¡He encontrado, en el templo del Señor, un rollo que contiene la ley del Señor!». Y le entregó el rollo a Safán para que lo leyera.
8 Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in Yahweh’s house.” Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
9 Cuando Safán informó al rey del progreso de las reparaciones del templo del Señor, también le contó del rollo que Jilquías había encontrado. Entonces Safán se lo leyó al rey.
9 Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, “Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hands of the workmen who have the oversight of Yahweh’s house.”
10 Not in this translation
10 Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered a book to me.” Then Shaphan read it before the king.
11 Cuando el rey se enteró de lo que estaba escrito en él, se rasgó la ropa, lleno de temor,
11 When the king had heard the words of the book of the law, he tore his clothes.
12 y ordenó al sumo sacerdote Jilquías, al secretario Safán, a Ajicán hijo de Safán, a Acbor hijo de Micaías, al secretario Safán, y a su ministro Asaías: «Vayan a consultar al Señor, para que sepamos qué tenemos que hacer, tanto yo como todo el pueblo, en cuanto a lo que está en este libro. Pues, según con lo que allí está escrito, nuestros antepasados no obedecieron la ley del Señor, ni vivieron de acuerdo con su voluntad. ¡El Señor debe estar muy enojado con nosotros por eso!».
12 The king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Achbor the son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying,
13 Not in this translation
13 “Go inquire of Yahweh for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found; for great is Yahweh’s wrath that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written concerning us.”
14 Así que el sumo sacerdote Jilquías, Ajicán, Acbor, Safán y Asaías fueron a consultar a la profetisa Huldá, que vivía en el sector nuevo de Jerusalén. Huldá era esposa de Salún hijo de Ticvá y nieto de Jarjás, encargado del vestuario del palacio.
14 So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked with her.
15 Ella les respondió: «Díganle al hombre que los envió que así dice el Señor, Dios de Israel: “Voy a destruir esta ciudad y sus habitantes, tal como lo he dicho en ese libro que has leído.
15 She said to them, “Yahweh the God of Israel says, ‘Tell the man who sent you to me,
16 Not in this translation
16 “Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah has read.
17 Porque el pueblo de Judá me ha abandonado y ha adorado a otros dioses, y ha hecho que mi ira arda contra este lugar, sin que se pueda apagar.
17 Because they have forsaken me and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it will not be quenched.’”
18 Pero, por cuanto estás triste y preocupado, y te has humillado delante de mí, al leer el libro y sus advertencias de que esta tierra sería maldita y destruida, y por cuanto has rasgado tu ropa y has llorado delante de mí con verdadero pesar, he escuchado tu petición.
18 But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Yahweh, tell him, “Yahweh the God of Israel says, ‘Concerning the words which you have heard,
19 Not in this translation
19 because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before Yahweh when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you,’ says Yahweh.
20 La desgracia de este pueblo no ocurrirá sino hasta después de tu muerte, de modo que tú no verás el mal que traeré sobre este lugar”». Y ellos llevaron el mensaje al rey.
20 ‘Therefore behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the evil which I will bring on this place.’”’” So they brought this message back to the king.
