1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
1 DE OCHO años era Josías cuando comenzó á reinar, y treinta y un años reinó en Jerusalem.
2 He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and walked in the ways of David his ancestor, and did not turn away either to the right or to the left.
2 Este hizo lo recto en ojos de Jehová, y anduvo en los caminos de David su padre, sin apartarse á la diestra ni á la siniestra.
3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek after the God of David, his ancestor. In the twelfth year, he began to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, the Asherah poles, and the carved figures and the cast metal figures.
3 A los ocho años de su reinado, siendo aún muchacho, comenzó á buscar al Dios de David su padre; y á los doce años comenzó á limpiar á Judá y á Jerusalem de los altos, bosques, esculturas, é imágenes de fundición.
4 The people broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; he cut apart the incense altars that were above them. He broke the Asherah poles and the carved figures, and the cast metal figures in pieces until they were dust. He scattered the dust on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
4 Y derribaron delante de él los altares de los Baales, é hizo pedazos las imágenes del sol, que estaban puestas encima; despedazó también los bosques, y las esculturas y estatuas de fundición, y desmenuzólas, y esparció [el polvo] sobre los sepulcros de los que las habían sacrificado.
5 He burned the bones of their priests on their altars. In this way, he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
5 Quemó además los huesos de los sacerdotes sobre sus altares, y limpió á Judá y á Jerusalem.
6 He did the same in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, all the way to Naphtali, and in the ruins that surrounded them.
6 [Lo mismo hizo] en las ciudades de Manasés, Ephraim, y Simeón, hasta en Nephtalí, con sus lugares asolados alrededor.
7 He broke down the altars, beat the Asherah poles and the carved images into powder, and cut apart all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
7 Y como hubo derribado los altares y los bosques, y quebrado y desmenuzado las esculturas, y destruído todos los ídolos por toda la tierra de Israel, volvióse á Jerusalem.
8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, after Josiah had cleansed the land and the temple, he sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, Maaseiah, the governor of the city, and Joah son of Joahaz the secretary, to repair the house of Yahweh his God.
8 A los dieciocho años de su reinado, después de haber limpiado la tierra, y la casa, envió á Saphán hijo de Asalías, y á Maasías gobernador de la ciudad, y á Joah hijo de Joachâz, canciller, para que reparasen la casa de Jehová su Dios.
9 They went to Hilkiah, the high priest, and entrusted to him the money that had been brought into the house of God, that the Levites, the guards of the doors, had gathered from Manasseh and Ephraim, from all the remnant of Israel, from all Judah and Benjamin, and from the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
9 Los cuales vinieron á Hilcías, gran sacerdote, y dieron el dinero que había sido metido en la casa de Jehová, que los Levitas que guardaban la puerta habían recogido de mano de Manasés y de Ephraim y de todas las reliquias de Israel, y de todo Judá y Benjamín, habiéndose después vuelto á Jerusalem.
10 They entrusted the money to the men who supervised the work on the temple of Yahweh. These men paid the workers who repaired and restored the temple.
10 Y entregáronlo en mano de los que hacían la obra, que eran sobrestantes en la casa de Jehová; los cuales lo daban á los que hacían la obra y trabajaban en la casa de Jehová, para reparar y restaurar el templo.
11 They paid it to the carpenters and builders to buy cut stone and timber for braces, and to make beams for the structures that some kings of Judah had let fall apart.
11 Daban asimismo á los oficiales y albañiles para que comprasen piedra de cantería, y madera para las trabazones, y para entabladura de las casas, las cuales habían destruído los reyes de Judá.
12 The men did the work faithfully. Their supervisors Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, from the sons of the Kohathites. Other Levites, all of whom were very good musicians, closely directed the workmen.
12 Y estos hombres procedían con fidelidad en la obra: y eran sus gobernadores Jahath y Abdías, Levitas de los hijos de Merari; y Zachârías y Mesullam de los hijos de Coath, para que activasen [la obra]; y de los Levitas, todos los entendidos en instrumentos de música.
13 These Levites were in charge of those who carried building material and all other men who worked in any way. There were also Levites who were secretaries, administrators, and gate guards.
13 También [velaban] sobre los ganapanes, y [eran] sobrestantes de los que se ocupaban en cualquier clase de obra; y de los Levitas había escribas, gobernadores, y porteros.
14 When they brought out the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of Yahweh that had been given through Moses.
14 Y al sacar el dinero que había sido metido en la casa de Jehová, Hilcías el sacerdote halló el libro de la ley de Jehová dada por mano de Moisés.
15 Hilkiah said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the house of Yahweh.” Hilkiah brought the book to Shaphan.
15 Y dando cuenta Hilcías, dijo á Saphán escriba: Yo he hallado el libro de la ley en la casa de Jehová. Y dió Hilcías el libro á Saphán.
16 Shaphan took the book to the king, and also reported to him, saying, “Your servants are doing everything that has been entrusted to them.
16 Y Saphán lo llevó al rey, y contóle el negocio, diciendo: Tus siervos han cumplido todo lo que les fué dado á cargo.
17 They have emptied out the money that was found in the house of Yahweh, and they gave it into the hand of the supervisors and to the workmen.”
17 Han reunido el dinero que se halló en la casa de Jehová, y lo han entregado en mano de los comisionados, y en mano de los que hacen la obra.
18 Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” Then Shaphan read in it to the king.
18 A más de esto, declaró Saphán escriba al rey, diciendo: El sacerdote Hilcías me dió un libro. Y leyó Saphán en él delante del rey.
19 It came about that when the king had heard the words of the law, he tore his clothes.
19 Y luego que el rey oyó las palabras de la ley, rasgó sus vestidos;
20 The king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Abdon son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah, his own servant, saying,
20 Y mandó á Hilcías y á Ahicam hijo de Saphán, y á Abdón hijo de Michâ, y á Saphán escriba, y á Asaía siervo del rey, diciendo:
21 “Go and ask Yahweh's will for me, and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, because of the words of the book that has been found. For it is great, the anger of Yahweh that has been poured out on us. It is great, because our ancestors have not listened to the words of this book so as to obey all that was written in it.”
21 Andad, y consultad á Jehová de mí, y de las reliquias de Israel y de Judá, acerca de las palabras del libro que se ha hallado; porque grande es el furor de Jehová que ha caído sobre nosotros, por cuanto nuestros padres no guardaron la palabra de Jehová, para hacer conforme á todo lo que está escrito en este libro.
22 So Hilkiah, and those whom the king had commanded, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum son of Tokhath son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (she lived in Jerusalem in the Second District), and they spoke with her in this way.
22 Entonces Hilcías y los del rey fueron á Hulda profetisa, mujer de Sallum, hijo de Tikvath, hijo de Hasra, guarda de las vestimentas, la cual moraba en Jerusalem en la casa de la doctrina; y dijéronle las palabras dichas.
23 She said to them, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me,
23 Y ella respondió: Jehová el Dios de Israel ha dicho así: Decid al varón que os ha enviado á mí, que así ha dicho Jehová:
24 'This is what Yahweh says: See, I am about to bring disaster on this place and on its inhabitants, all the curses that have been written in the book that they have read before the king of Judah.
24 He aquí yo traigo mal sobre este lugar, y sobre los moradores de él, todas las maldiciones que están escritas en el libro que leyeron delante del rey de Judá:
25 This will happen because they have forsaken me and have burned incense to other gods, and they have provoked me to anger by all that their hands have made, therefore, my anger will be poured out on this place, and it will not be extinguished.'
25 Por cuanto me han dejado, y han sacrificado á dioses ajenos, provocándome á ira en todas las obras de sus manos; por tanto mi furor destilará sobre este lugar, y no se apagará.
26 But to the king of Judah, who sent you to ask Yahweh what he should do, this is what you will say to him, 'Yahweh, the God of Israel says this: About the words that you heard,
26 Mas al rey de Judá, que os ha enviado á consultar á Jehová, así le diréis: Jehová el Dios de Israel ha dicho así: [Por cuanto] oiste las palabras [del libro],
27 because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this place and its inhabitants, and because you have humbled yourself before me and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have listened to you—this is Yahweh's declaration—
27 Y tu corazón se enterneció, y te humillaste delante de Dios al oir sus palabras sobre este lugar, y sobre sus moradores, y te humillaste delante de mí, y rasgaste tus vestidos, y lloraste en mi presencia, yo también te he oído, dice Jehová.
28 see, I will gather you to your ancestors. You will be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes will not see any of the disaster I will bring on this place and its inhabitants.'” The men took this message back to the king.
28 He aquí que yo te recogeré con tus padres, y serás recogido en tus sepulcros en paz, y tus ojos no verán todo el mal que yo traigo sobre este lugar, y sobre los moradores de él. Y ellos refirieron al rey la respuesta.
29 Then the king sent messengers and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
29 Entonces el rey envió y juntó todos los ancianos de Judá y de Jerusalem.
30 Then the king went up to the house of Yahweh, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, Levites, and all the people, from great to small. He then read in their hearing all the words of the book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of Yahweh.
30 Y subió el rey á la casa de Jehová, y con él todos los varones de Judá, y los moradores de Jerusalem, y los sacerdotes, y los Levitas, y todo el pueblo desde el mayor hasta el más pequeño; y leyó á oídos de ellos todas las palabras del libro del pacto que había sido hallado en la casa de Jehová.
31 The king stood in his place and made a covenant before Yahweh, to walk after Yahweh, and to keep his commandments, his regulations, and his statutes, with all his heart and all his soul, to obey the words of the covenant that were written in this book.
31 Y estando el rey en pie en su sitio, hizo alianza delante de Jehová de caminar en pos de Jehová, y de guardar sus mandamientos, sus testimonios, y sus estatutos, de todo su corazón y de toda su alma, poniendo por obra las palabras del pacto que estaban escritas en aquel libro.
32 He caused all who were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand by the covenant. The inhabitants of Jerusalem acted in obedience to the covenant of God, the God of their ancestors.
32 E hizo que se obligaran [á ello] todos los que estaban en Jerusalem y en Benjamín: y los moradores de Jerusalem hicieron conforme al pacto de Dios, del Dios de sus padres.
33 Josiah took away all the disgusting things from the lands that belonged to the people of Israel. He made everyone in Israel worship Yahweh, their God. For all of his days, they did not turn away from following Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.
33 Y quitó Josías todas las abominaciones de todas las tierras de los hijos de Israel, é hizo á todos los que se hallaron en Israel que sirviesen á Jehová su Dios. No se apartaron de en pos de Jehová el Dios de sus padres, todo el tiempo que él vivió.
