1Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.
1Cuakxakib chihab cuan re laj Josías nak qui-oc chokß rey. Junlaju xcaßcßâl chihab quicuan saß xcuanquil aran Jerusalén. Lix naß xJedida xcßabaß. Ut lix Jedida, aßan xrabin laj Adaía. Boscat xtenamit.
2He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and walked in all the way of David his father, and didn’t turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
2Laj Josías châbil xnaßleb nak quicuan chokß rey. Quixbânu li tîquilal chiru li Kâcuaß Dios. Quixbânu li us chi anchal xchßôl joß quixbânu laj David lix xeßtônil yucuaß ut incßaß quixcanab xbânunquil li us.
3It happened 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 Yahweh, saying,
3Yô cuakxaklaju chihab roquic chokß rey laj Josías nak quixtakla laj Safán laj tzßîb saß lix templo li Kâcuaß. Laj Safán, aßan li ralal laj Azalía ut laj Azalía, aßan li ralal laj Mesulam. Li rey Josías quixye re laj Safán:
4“Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the money which is brought into the house of Yahweh, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered of the people.
4—Ayu riqßuin laj Hilcías li xbênil aj tij. Tâye re nak tixchßutub chixjunil li tumin li nequeßxqßue li tenamit reheb li nequeßcßacßalen saß li oquebâl re li templo.
5Let them deliver it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of Yahweh; and let them give it to the workmen who are in the house of Yahweh, to repair the breaches of the house,
5Tâye re laj Hilcías nak tixqßue li tumin reheb li cuînk li nequeßjolomin re li xyîbanquil li templo. Li tumin aßan tâcßanjelak chiruheb re xtojbal li yôqueb chi cßanjelac.
6to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house.
6Teßxqßue xtojbal eb laj pechß, ut eb laj tzßac ut eb li nequeßjolomin re li cßanjel. Ut chiru ajcuiß li tumin aßan teßxtoj li cheß ut li pec li tâcßanjelak re xyîbanquil li templo.
7However there was no accounting made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand; for they dealt faithfully.”
7Eb li cuînk li yôqueb chi jolomînc re li cßanjel châbileb xnaßleb. Joßcan nak incßaß têbir rix li joß qßuial teßxsach, chan laj Josías.
8Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the house of Yahweh.” Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
8Saß jun li cutan laj Hilcías li xbênil aj tij quixye re laj Safán: —Lâin xintau saß lix templo li Kâcuaß li hu li tzßîbanbil cuiß lix chakßrab li Dios, chan. Laj Hilcías quixqßue li hu re laj Safán ut laj Safán quiril xsaß.
9Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, “Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of Yahweh.”
9Chirix aßan laj Safán laj tzßîb quixcßam li hu ut cô riqßuin li rey Josías ut quixye re: —Eb laj cßanjel châcuu queßxchßutub li tumin li cuan saß li templo ut queßxqßue reheb li nequeßjolomin re li cßanjel, chan.
10Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered a book to me.” Shaphan read it before the king.
10Ut laj Safán quixye ajcuiß re li rey: —Laj Hilcías laj tij quixqßue cue li hu aßin, chan ut laj Safán quiril xsaß li hu chiru li rey.
11It happened, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he tore his clothes.
11Nak li rey Josías quirabi li chakßrab li tzßîbanbil saß li hu aßan, quixpej li rakß.
12The king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying,
12Ut quixtaklaheb laj Hilcías laj tij ut laj Ahicam li ralal laj Safán, ut laj Acbor li ralal laj Micaías ut laj Safán laj tzßîb joß ajcuiß laj Asaías laj cßanjel chiru li rey.
13“Go inquire of Yahweh 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 Yahweh that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written concerning us.”
13Quixye reheb: —Ayukex ut patzßomak re li Kâcuaß chicuix lâin ut chirixeb li tenamit ut chirixeb laj Judá. Patzßomak cßaßru takabânu riqßuin li cßaßru tzßîbanbil saß li hu aßin. Li Kâcuaß yô xjoskßil saß kabên xban nak eb li kaxeßtônil yucuaß incßaß queßxbânu li cßaßru tzßîbanbil saß li hu aßin, chan li rey Josías.
14So 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, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked with her.
14Laj Hilcías laj tij, rochbeneb laj Ahicam, laj Acbor, laj Safán ut laj Asaías queßcôeb riqßuin lix Hulda chi patzßoc. Lix Hulda, aßan jun xprofeta li Dios. Aßan rixakil laj Salum. Laj Salum, aßan li ralal laj Ticva. Laj Ticva, aßan li ralal laj Harhas. Laj Salum, aßan li na-iloc re li akßej li nacßanjelac saß li templo. Lix Hulda cuan rochoch Jerusalén saß li naßajej li quiyîbâc mokon. Eb li cuînk queßâtinac riqßuin.
15She said to them, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘Tell the man who sent you to me,
15Lix Hulda quixye reheb li cuînk: —Joßcaßin xye li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb laj Israel. Ye re li ani xtaklan chak êre,
16“Thus says Yahweh, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on this place, and on its inhabitants, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah has read.
16Joßcaßin xye li Kâcuaß Dios. Lâin tintakla chak raylal saß xbên li tenamit Jerusalén ut saß xbêneb chixjunileb li cuanqueb aran. Tinbânu chixjunil li tzßîbanbil retalil saß li hu li quiril xsaß lix reyeb laj Judá.
17Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.’”
17Xinteneb li raylal aßin saß xbêneb xban nak xineßxtzßektâna ut xeßxcßat li incienso chiruheb li jalanil dios. Xeßxchikß injoskßil nak xeßxyîb riqßuin rukßeb li jalanil dios ut xeßxlokßoni. Yô injoskßil saß xbêneb laj Jerusalén. Incßaß tânumekß lin joskßil cui incßaß tinbânu li cßaßru xinye,” chan li Dios.
18But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Yahweh, thus you shall tell him, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘Concerning the words which you have heard,
18Joßcaßin têye re lix reyeb laj Judá li xtaklan chak êre chixsicßbal cßaßru nacuaj. Aßan aßin li naxye li Kâcuaß lix Dios eb laj Israel, “Lâat xaqßue xcuanquil li tzßîbanbil saß li hu.
19because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before Yahweh, when you heard what I spoke against this place, and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have torn your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard you,’ says Yahweh.
19Xyotßeß âchßôl ut xacubsi âcuib chicuu nak xacuabi nak tintakla raylal saß xbên Jerusalén joß eb ajcuiß li tenamit. Xacuabi nak xinye nak tinsach ruheb ut tinpoß lix naßajeb.

20‘Therefore behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, neither shall your eyes see all the evil which I will bring on this place.’”’” They brought back this message to the king.
20Lâin incßaß tinqßueheb chixtojbal xmâqueb nak toj yoßyôkat. Lâat incßaß tâcuil li raylal li tintakla saß xbêneb. Tatcâmk ut toxâtauheb lâ xeßtônil yucuaß. Ut tatmukekß saß xyâlal,” chan li Dios.— Ut eb li takl queßsukßi riqßuin li rey Josías ut queßxye re li cßaßru quixye li Dios.
