NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 Josiah was eight years old when he had begun to reign. He reigned for thirty-one years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah, from Bozkath.
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 what was pleasing before the Lord, and he walked in all the ways of his father David. He did not turn aside to the right, 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 Then, in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, 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 Hilkiah, the high priest, so that the money may be put together which has been brought into the temple of the Lord, which the doorkeepers of the temple have collected from 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, by those in charge of the house of the Lord, to the workers. And let them distribute it to those who are working in the temple of the Lord in order to repair the surfaces of the temple,
6 tignariis videlicet et caementariis et his, qui interrupta componunt, et ut emantur ligna et lapides de lapicidinis ad instaurandum templum.	6 specifically, to carpenters and masons, and to those who mend gaps, and so that wood may be purchased, and stones from the quarries, in order to repair the temple of the Lord.
7 Verumtamen non supputetur eis argentum, quod accipiunt, quia in potestate habent et in fide ”.	7 Yet truly, let no account be given by them of the money that they receive. Instead, let them have it within their power and trust.”
8 Dixit autem Helcias pontifex ad Saphan scribam: “ Librum legis repperi in domo Domini! ”. Deditque Helcias volumen Saphan, qui et legit illud.	8 Then Hilkiah, the high priest, said to Shaphan, the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord.” And Hilkiah gave the volume to Shaphan, 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 Also, Shaphan, the scribe, went to the king, and reported to him what he had instructed. And he said: “Your servants have brought together the money which was found in the house of the Lord. And they have given it so that it would be distributed to the workers 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 Also, Shaphan, the scribe, explained to the king, saying, “Hilkiah, the priest, gave the book to me.” And when Shaphan 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 book of the law of the Lord, he tore 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 instructed Hilkiah, the priest, and Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Achbor, the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan, the scribe, and Asaiah, the servant of the king, 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 concerning me, and the people, and all of Judah, about the words of this volume which has been found. For the great wrath of the Lord has been kindled against us because our fathers did not listen to the words of this book, so that they would do all that has been 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 Therefore, Hilkiah, the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah, the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, the keeper of the vestments, who was living in Jerusalem, in the second part. And they spoke with her.
15 et illa respondit eis: “ Haec dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Dicite viro, qui misit vos ad me:	15 And she responded to them: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Tell the man who 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 says the Lord: Behold, I will lead evils over this place, and over its inhabitants, all the words of the law that the king of Judah has 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 For they have abandoned me, and they have sacrificed to foreign gods, provoking me by all the works of their hands. And so my indignation will be kindled against this place. And it will not be extinguished.
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 Judah, who sent you so that you would consult the Lord, so shall you say: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: In so far as you have heard the words of the volume,
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 your heart was terrified, and you humbled yourself before the Lord, listening to the words against this place and its inhabitants, specifically, that they would become an astonishment and a curse, and because you have torn your garments, and have wept before me: I also have heard you, says 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 For this reason, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your sepulcher in peace, so that your eyes may not see all the evils that I will bring over this place.”
