22 — 4 Kings (2 Kings)

1Josias was eight years old when he began to reign: he reigned one and thirty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Idida, the daughter of Hadaia, of Besecath.Josia aveva otto anni quando principiò a regnare, e regnò anni trentuno in Gerusalemme: sua madre ebbe nome Idida figliuola di Hadaia di Besecath.EIGHT yeares old was Iosias when he began to reigne, he reigned one and thirtie yeares in Ierusalem: the name of his mother was Idida, the daughter of Hadaia of Besecath.Octo annorum erat Josias cum regnare cœpisset: triginta et uno anno regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Idida filia Hadaia de Besecath. 2And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the ways of David, his father: he turned not aside to the right hand, or to the left.Ed egli fece quello, che era accetto nel cospetto del Signore, e imitò in tutto Davidde suo padre senza piegare né a destra, né a sinistra.And he did that which was liked before our Lord, and walked in al the waies of Dauid his father: he declined not to the right hand, or to the lefte.Fecitque quod placitum erat coram Domino, et ambulavit per omnes vias David patris sui: non declinavit ad dexteram, sive ad sinistram. 3And in the eighteenth year of king Josias, the king sent Saphan, the son of Assia, the son of Messulam, the scribe of the temple of the Lord, saying to him:E l'anno decimo ottavo del re Josia, egli mandò Saphan figliuolo di Assia, figliuolo di Messula, scrivano del tempio del Signore, e gli disse:And in the eightenth yeare of king Iosias, the king sent Saphan the sonne of Aslia, the sonne of Messulam, the scribe of the temple of our Lord, saying to him:Anno autem octavodecimo regis Josiæ, misit rex Saphan filium Aslia filii Messulam scribam templi Domini, dicens ei: 4Go to Helcias, the high priest, that the money may be put together which is brought into the temple of the Lord, which the doorkeepers of the temple have gathered of the people.Va da Helcia sommo Sacerdote, affinchè si fonda l'argento, che è stato portato al tempio del Signore, e ricevuto da' portinaj del tempio dalle mani del popolo,Goe to Helcias the high priest, that the money may be gathered into a summe, which hath beene brought into the temple of our Lord, which the porters of the temple haue gathered of the people,Vade ad Helciam sacerdotem magnum, ut confletur pecunia quæ illata est in templum Domini, quam collegerunt janitores templi a populo:

5And let it be given to the workmen by the overseers of the house of the Lord: and let them distribute it to those that work in the temple of the Lord, to repair the temple:E diasi agl'impresari dai prefetti della casa del Signore, i quali andranno pagando gli operai, che lavorano nel tempio del Signore ai risarcimenti del tempio;and let it be geuen to the workemen by the ouerseers of the house of our Lord: who also shal destribute it to them that worke in the temple of our Lord, to make the reparations of the temple:deturque fabris per præpositos domus Domini, qui et distribuant eam his qui operantur in templo Domini, ad instauranda sartatecta templi: 6That is, to carpenters and masons, and to such as mend breaches: and that timber may be bought, and stones out of the quarries, to repair the temple of the Lord.Viene a dire, i legnaiuoli, e muratori, e quei, che rassettano, che v'è di guasto; e ne compreranno i legnami, e le pietre dalle cave pel ristoramento del tempio del Signore.that is, to the carpenters and masons, and to them that mend broken places: and that timber may be bought, and stones out of the quarries to repayre the temple of our Lord.tignariis videlicet et cæmentariis, et iis qui interrupta componunt: et ut emantur ligna, et lapides de lapicidinis, ad instaurandum templum Domini. 7But let there be no reckoning made with them of the money which they receive, but let them have it in their power, and in their trust.Ma non si tengano a conto pel denaro, che riceveranno, ma lo maneggino liberamente sulla loro fede.Yet let not the money which they receiue be accounted to them, but let them haue it in their powre, and vpon their fidelitie.Verumtamen non supputetur eis argentum quod accipiunt, sed in potestate habeant, et in fide. 8And Helcias, the high priest, said to Saphan, the scribe: I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord: and Helcias gave the book to Saphan, and he read it.Or Helcia Pontefice disse a Saphan scrivano: Ho trovato nella casa del Signore il libro della legge. E diede Helcia il volume a Saphan, il quale ancora lo lesse.And Helcias the highe priest sayd to Saphan the scribe: I haue found the Booke of the law in the house of our Lord: and Helcias gaue the volume to Saphan, who also did reade it.Dixit autem Helcias pontifex ad Saphan scribam: Librum legis reperi in domo Domini. Deditque Helcias volumen Saphan, qui et legit illud. 9And Saphan, the scribe, came to the king, and brought him word again concerning that which he had commanded, and said: Thy servants have gathered together the money that was found in the house of the Lord: and they have given it to be distributed to the workmen, by the overseers of the works of the temple of the Lord.Indi Saphan scrivano tornò al re, e gli diede parte di quello, che si era fatto secondo gli ordini ricevuti da lui, e disse: I tuoi servi hanno fuso l'argento, che si è trovato nella casa del Signore: e lo hanno dato ai prefetti de' lavori del tempio del Signore, per distribuirlo agli impresari.Saphan also the scribe came to the king, and reported vnto him that which he had commanded, and sayd: Thy seruantes haue gathered into a summe the money, which is found in the house of our Lord: and they haue geuen it to be destributed to the workemen, by the ouerseers of the workes of the temple of our Lord.Venit quoque Saphan scriba ad regem, et renuntiavit ei quod præceperat, et ait: Conflaverunt servi tui pecuniam quæ reperta est in domo Domini, et dederunt ut distribueretur fabris a præfectis operum templi Domini.

10And Saphan, the scribe, told the king, saying: Helcias, the priest, hath delivered to me a book. And when Saphan had read it before the king,E oltre a questo Saphan scrivano raccontò, e disse al re: Helcia sommo Sacerdote mi ha dato un libro. E Saphan avendolo letto alla presenza del re,Saphan also the scribe told the king, saying: Helcias the priest hath geuen me a Booke. Which when Saphan had read before the king,Narravit quoque Saphan scriba regi, dicens: Librum dedit mihi Helcias sacerdos. Quem cum legisset Saphan coram rege, 11And the king had heard the words of the law of the Lord, he rent his garments.E avendo il re udite le parole della legge del Signore, stracciò le sue vesti,and the king had heard the wordes of the law of our Lord, he rent his garmentes.et audisset rex verba libri legis Domini, scidit vestimenta sua. 12And he commanded Helcias, the priest, and Ahicam, the son of Saphan, and Achobor, the son of Micha, and Saphan, the scribe, and Asaia, the king’s servant, saying:E ordinò, e disse ad Helcia sommo Sacerdote, e ad Ahicam figliuolo di Saphan, e ad Achobor figliuolo di Micha, e Saphan scrivano, e ad Asaia ministro del re:And he willed Helcias the priest, and Ahicam the sonne of Saphan, and Achobor the sonne of Micha, and Saphan the Scribe, and Asaia the kinges seruant, saying:Et præcepit Helciæ sacerdoti, et Ahicam filio Saphan, et Achobor filio Micha, et Saphan scribæ, et Asaiæ servo regis, dicens: 13Go and consult the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all Juda, concerning the words of this book which is found: for the great wrath of the Lord is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened to the words of this book, to do all that is written for us.Andate, e consultate il Signore sopra di me, e sopra del popolo, e sopra tutto Giuda riguardo alle parole di questo libro, che si è trovato: imperocché l'ira grande del Signore è accesa contro di noi; perchè i padri nostri non hanno ascoltate le parole di questo libro, per mettere in opera tutto quello, che fu scritto per noi.Goe and consult our Lord for me, and for the people, and for al Iuda, concerning the wordes of this volume, which is found: for the great wrath of our Lord is kindled agaynst vs: because our fathers haue not heard the wordes of this Booke, to doe al that is writen for vs.Ite et consulite Dominum super me, et super populo, et super omni Juda, de verbis voluminis istius, quod inventum est: magna enim ira Domini succensa est contra nos, quia non audierunt patres nostri verba libri hujus, ut facerent omne quod scriptum est nobis.

14So Helcias, the priest, and Ahicam, and Achobor, and Saphan, and Asaia, went to Holda, the prophetess, the wife of Sellum, the son of Thecua, the son of Araas, keeper of the wardrobe, who dwelt in Jerusalem, in the Second: and they spoke to her.Andaron pertanto Helcia Sacerdote, e Ahicam, e Achobor, e Saphan, e Asaia a casa di Holda profetessa, moglie di Sellum, figliuolo di Thecua, figliuolo di Araas Guardarobba, la quale abitava in Gerusalemme nella Seconda: e parlarono con lei.Helcias therfore the priest, and Ahicam, and Achabor, and Saphan, and Asaia went to Holda a prophetesse the wife of Sellum the sonne of Thecua, the sonne of Araas keeper of the garmentes, who dwelt in Ierusalem in the second: and they spake to her.Ierunt itaque Helcias sacerdos, et Ahicam, et Achobor, et Sapham, et Asaia, ad Holdam prophetidem, uxorem Sellum filii Thecuæ filii Araas custodis vestium, quæ habitabat in Jerusalem in Secunda: locutique sunt ad eam. 15And she said to them: Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Tell the man that sent you to me:Ed ella rispose loro: Il Signore Dio d'Israele dice così. Dite a lui, che vi ha mandati da me:And she answered them: Thus sayth our Lord the God of Israel: Tel the man, that sent you to me:Et illa respondit eis: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Dicite viro qui misit vos ad me: 16Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will bring evils upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, all the words of the law which the king of Juda hath read:Queste cose dice il Signore: Ecco, che io manderò sciagure sopra di questo luogo, e sopra i suoi abitanti, adempiendo tutte le parole della legge lette dal re di Giuda;Thus sayth our Lord: Behold, I wil bring euils vpon this place, and vpon the inhabitantes therof, al the wordes of the law which the king of Iuda hath read:Hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce ego adducam mala super locum istum, et super habitatores ejus, omnia verba legis quæ legit rex Juda: 17Because they have forsaken me, and have sacrificed to strange gods, provoking me by all the works of their hands: therefore my indignation shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.Perchè eglino hanno abbandonato me, e hanno offerti sagrifizi agli dei stranieri, provocandomi a sdegno con tutte le opere delle loro mani: e il mio sdegno si accenderà in questo luogo, e non si estinguerà più.because they haue forsaken me, and haue sacrificed to strange goddes, prouoking me in al the workes of their handes: and my indignation shal be kindled in this place, and shal not be quenched.quia dereliquerunt me, et sacrificaverunt diis alienis, irritantes me in cunctis operibus manuum suarum: et succendetur indignatio mea in loco hoc, et non extinguetur.

18But to the king of Juda, who sent you to consult the Lord, thus shall you say: Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: for as much as thou hast heard the words of the book,Ma al re di Giuda, il quale vi ha mandati a consultare il Signore, direte così: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio d'Israele: Perchè tu hai ascoltate le parole di questo libro,But to the king of Iuda, that sent you to consult our lord, thus you shal say: Thus sayth our Lord the God of Israel: For that thou hast heard the wordes of the volume,Regi autem Juda, qui misit vos ut consuleretis Dominum, sic dicetis: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Pro eo quod audisti verba voluminis, 19And thy heart hath been moved to fear, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord, hearing the words against this place, and the inhabitants thereof, to wit, that they should become a wonder and a curse: and thou hast rent thy garments, and wept before me; I also have heard thee; saith the Lord.E il tuo cuore si è sbigottito, e ti sei umiliato dinanzi al Signore, avendo udito quello, che è stato detto contro di questo luogo, e contro i suoi abitatori, viene a dire, ch'ei diverranno oggetto di stupore, e di maledizione; e hai stracciate le tue vesti, e hai pianto dinanzi a me; io pur ti ho ascoltato, dice il Signore.and thy hart is striken with feare, and thou art humbled before the Lord, hearing the wordes agaynst this place, and the inhabitantes therof, to witte that they should become a wonder and a curse: and hast rent thy garmentes, and wept before me, and I haue heard it, sayth our Lord:et perterritum est cor tuum, et humiliatus es coram Domino, auditis sermonibus contra locum istum et habitatores ejus, quod videlicet fierent in stuporem et in maledictum: et scidisti vestimenta tua, et flevisti coram me, et ego audivi, ait Dominus: 20Therefore I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy sepulchre in peace; that thy eyes may not see all the evils which I will bring upon this place.Per questo ti riunirò co' padri tuoi, e in pace te n'anderai al tuo sepolcro, affinchè tu non abbi a vedere cogli occhi tuoi tutti que' mali, ch'io pioverò sopra di questo luogo.therfore I wil gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy sepulchre in peace, that thy eies may not see al the euils, which I wil bring in vpon this place.idcirco colligam te ad patres tuos, et colligeris ad sepulchrum tuum in pace, ut non videant oculi tui omnia mala quæ inducturus sum super locum istum.
