유다의 16대 왕 요시야

22 요시야는 8세에 왕위에 올라 예루살렘에서 31년을 통치하였다. 그리 고 그의 어머니는 보스갓 사람인 아다야 의 딸 여디다였다.

그는 여호와께서 보시기에 옳은 일을 하였으며 그의 조상 다윗을 본받아 [a]오직 한결같은 마음으로 여호와를 섬겼다.

요시야는 왕이 된 지 18년에 므술람의 손자이며 아살랴의 아들인 서기관 사반을 성전으로 보내며 이렇게 지시하였다.

“너는 대제사장 힐기야에게 가서 그에게 성전 출입구 담당 제사장들이 백성들에게서 거둔 돈을 계산하여

5-6 그것을 성전 수리 담당자에게 주어 목수 와 건축자와 석수의 임금으로 지불하고 또 목재와 다듬은 돌을 사서 성전을 수리하게 하라고 일러 주어라.”

그러나 성전 수리 담당자가 일을 정직하게 하였으므로 그에게 맡긴 수리 비용을 회계할 필요가 없었다.

성전에서 발견된 율법책

어느 날 대제사장 힐기야가 서기관 사반에게 가서 “내가 성전에서 여호와의 율법책을 발견하였습니다!” 하고 그 율법책을 사반에게 주자 사반은 그것을 읽어 보고

왕에게 가서 “왕의 신하들은 성전에 있던 그 돈을 성전 수리 담당자들에게 넘겨 주었습니다” 하고 보고한 다음

10 “제사장 힐기야가 나에게 이 책을 주었습니다” 하며 그것을 왕 앞에서 큰 소리로 읽었다.

11 왕은 그 율법책에 기록된 말씀을 듣자 두려워서 자기 옷을 찢고

12 제사장 힐기야와 사반의 아들 아히감과 미가야의 아들 악볼과 서기관 사반과 왕의 보좌관 이사야에게 이렇게 명령하였다.

13 “당신들은 가서 나와 유다 백성을 위해 이 책의 말씀에 대하여 여호와께 물어 보시오. 우리 조상들이 이 책의 말씀대로 순종하지 않고 우리에 관해서 기록된 이 책의 말씀을 따라 살지 않았기 때문에 여호와께서는 우리에게 몹시 노하고 있소.”

14 그래서 그들은 여자 예언자 훌다를 찾아갔는데 그녀는 할하스의 손자이며 디과의 아들인 예복 담당자 살룸의 아내로 예루살렘의 둘째 구역에 살고 있었다. 그들이 찾아온 사연을 말하자

15 훌다는 왕에게 돌아가서 여호와의 말씀을 이렇게 전하라고 일러 주었다.

16 “나는 네가 읽은 그 율법책에 기록된 대로 예루살렘과 그 주민을 벌하겠다.

17 그들은 나를 저버리고 다른 신을 섬겼으며 그들이 행하는 모든 일로 나를 노하게 하였다. 그러므로 예루살렘에 대한 나의 분노가 그치지 않을 것이다.

18 그러나 너는 그 책에 기록된 말씀을 들었을 때

19 내가 예루살렘과 그 주민을 벌할 것과 이 땅이 저주를 받아 황폐하게 될 것을 알고 네가 회개하는 마음으로 옷을 찢고 통곡하며 내 앞에서 자신을 낮추었으므로 내가 네 기도를 들었다.

20 그러므로 내가 너를 네 조상들에게 돌아가 묘실에 평안히 잠들게 하겠다. 너는 내가 예루살렘에 내릴 재앙을 네 눈으로 보지 않을 것이다.” 그래서 그들은 그 말을 그대로 왕에게 전하였다.

  1. 22:2 또는 ‘좌우로 치우치지 않았다’

The Book of the Law Found(A)

22 Josiah(B) was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. His mother’s name was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah; she was from Bozkath.(C) He did what was right(D) in the eyes of the Lord and followed completely the ways of his father David, not turning aside to the right(E) or to the left.

In the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah sent the secretary, Shaphan(F) son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, to the temple of the Lord. He said: “Go up to Hilkiah(G) the high priest and have him get ready the money that has been brought into the temple of the Lord, which the doorkeepers have collected(H) from the people. Have them entrust it to the men appointed to supervise the work on the temple. And have these men pay the workers who repair(I) the temple of the Lord the carpenters, the builders and the masons. Also have them purchase timber and dressed stone to repair the temple.(J) But they need not account for the money entrusted to them, because they are honest in their dealings.”(K)

Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the secretary, “I have found the Book of the Law(L) in the temple of the Lord.” He gave it to Shaphan, who read it. Then Shaphan the secretary went to the king and reported to him: “Your officials have paid out the money that was in the temple of the Lord and have entrusted it to the workers and supervisors at the temple.” 10 Then Shaphan the secretary informed the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read from it in the presence of the king.(M)

11 When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law,(N) he tore his robes. 12 He gave these orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam(O) son of Shaphan, Akbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the secretary and Asaiah the king’s attendant:(P) 13 “Go and inquire(Q) of the Lord for me and for the people and for all Judah about what is written in this book that has been found. Great is the Lord’s anger(R) that burns against us because those who have gone before us have not obeyed the words of this book; they have not acted in accordance with all that is written there concerning us.”

14 Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Akbor, Shaphan and Asaiah went to speak to the prophet(S) Huldah, who was the wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the New Quarter.

15 She said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me, 16 ‘This is what the Lord says: I am going to bring disaster(T) on this place and its people, according to everything written in the book(U) the king of Judah has read. 17 Because they have forsaken(V) me and burned incense to other gods and aroused my anger by all the idols their hands have made,[a] my anger will burn against this place and will not be quenched.’ 18 Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire(W) of the Lord, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says concerning the words you heard: 19 Because your heart was responsive and you humbled(X) yourself before the Lord when you heard what I have spoken against this place and its people—that they would become a curse[b](Y) and be laid waste(Z)—and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I also have heard you, declares the Lord. 20 Therefore I will gather you to your ancestors, and you will be buried in peace.(AA) Your eyes(AB) will not see all the disaster I am going to bring on this place.’”

So they took her answer back to the king.

  1. 2 Kings 22:17 Or by everything they have done
  2. 2 Kings 22:19 That is, their names would be used in cursing (see Jer. 29:22); or, others would see that they are cursed.

22 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath.

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.

And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the Lord, saying,

Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the Lord, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people:

And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the house of the Lord: and let them give it to the doers of the work which is in the house of the Lord, to repair the breaches of the house,

Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.

Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.

And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.

And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the Lord.

10 And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

11 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.

12 And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying,

13 Go ye, enquire of the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.

14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her.

15 And she said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,

16 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:

17 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.

18 But to the king of Judah which sent you to enquire of the Lord, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard;

19 Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the Lord.

20 Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
