Secondo libro dei Re 22

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Octo annorum erat Iosias, cum regnare coepisset, et tri ginta et uno anno regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius Idida filia Adaia de Bascath.	1 Josias 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.
2 Fecitque, quod placitum erat coram Domino, et ambulavit per omnes vias David patris sui; non declinavit ad dexteram sive ad sinistram.	2 And 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.
3 Anno autem octavo decimo regis Iosiae misit rex Saphan filium Eseliae filii Mesullam scribam ad templum Domini dicens ei:	3 And in the eighteenth year of b 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:
4 “ Vade ad Helciam sacerdotem magnum, ut effundatur pecunia, quae illata est in templum Domini, quam collegerunt ianitores a populo,	4 Go 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.
5 deturque opificibus praepositis in domo Domini, qui et distribuent eam his, qui operantur in templo Domini ad instauranda sartatecta templi,	5 And let it be given to the workmen by the overseers of the house of the Lord: and lot them distribute it to those that work in the temple of the Lord, to repair the temple:
6 tignariis videlicet et caementariis et his, qui interrupta componunt, et ut emantur ligna et lapides de lapicidinis ad instaurandum templum.	6 That 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.
7 Verumtamen non supputetur eis argentum, quod accipiunt, quia in potestate habent et in fide ”.	7 But 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.
8 Dixit autem Helcias pontifex ad Saphan scribam: “ Librum legis repperi in domo Domini! ”. Deditque Helcias volumen Saphan, qui et legit illud.	8 And 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.
9 Venit quoque Saphan scriba ad regem et renuntiavit ei, quod praeceperat, et ait: “ Effuderunt servi tui pecuniam, quae reperta est in domo, et dederunt opificibus praefectis operum templi Domini ”.	9 And 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.
10 Narravitque Saphan scriba regi dicens: “ Librum dedit mihi Helcias sacerdos ”. Quem cum legisset Saphan coram rege,	10 And 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,
11 et audisset rex verba libri legis, scidit vestimenta sua	11 And the king had heard the words of the law of the Lord, he rent his garments.
12 et praecepit Helciae sacerdoti et Ahicam filio Saphan et Achobor filio Micha et Saphan scribae et Asaiae servo regis dicens:	12 And 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:
13 “ Ite et consulite Dominum super me et super populo et super omni Iuda de verbis voluminis istius, quod inventum est; magna enim ira Domini succensa est contra nos, quia non audierunt patres nostri verba libri huius, ut facerent omne, quod scriptum est nobis ”.	13 Go 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.
14 Ierunt itaque Helcias sacerdos et Ahicam et Achobor et Saphan et Asaia ad Holdam propheten uxorem Sellum filii Thecuae filii Haraas custodis vestium, quae habitabat in Ierusalem in secunda, locutique sunt ad eam,	14 So 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.
15 et illa respondit eis: “ Haec dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Dicite viro, qui misit vos ad me:	15 And she said to them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Tell the man that sent you to me:
16 Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego adducam mala super locum hunc et super habitatores eius omnia verba libri, quae legit rex Iudae,	16 Thus 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:
17 quia dereliquerunt me et sacrificaverunt diis alienis irritantes me in cunctis operibus manuum suarum; et succendetur indignatio mea in loco hoc et non exstinguetur.	17 Because 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.
18 Regi autem Iudae, qui misit vos, ut consuleretis Dominum, sic dicetis: Haec dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Pro eo quod audisti verba voluminis,	18 But to the king of Juda, who sent you to consult the Lord, thus shall you say: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Forasmuch as thou hast heard the words of the book,
19 et perterritum est cor tuum, et humiliatus es coram Domino, auditis sermonibus contra locum istum et habitatores eius, quo videlicet fierent in stuporem et in maledictum, et scidisti vestimenta tua et flevisti coram me, et ego audivi, ait Dominus;	19 And 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:
20 idcirco colligam te ad patres tuos, et colligeris ad sepulcrum tuum in pace, ut non videant oculi tui omnia mala, quae inducturus sum super locum istum ”. Et renuntiaverunt regi, quod dixerat.	20 Therefore 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.
