2 Ljetopisa 29
1 Ezekiji je bilo dvadeset i pet godina kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je dvadeset i devet godina u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Abija, kći Zaharijina.
And Ezekias began to reign at the age of twenty-five years, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abia, daughter of Zacharias.
2 Činio je što je pravo u očima Jahvinim, sasvim kao i njegov otac David.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done.
3 Prve godine prvoga mjeseca svojega kraljevanja otvorio je vrata Doma Jahvina i popravio ih.
And it came to pass, when he was established over his kingdom, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them.
4 Onda je pozvao svećenike i levite i, sabravši ih na istočni trg,
And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and put them on the east side,
5 rekao: “Čujte me, leviti! Sada se posvetite i posvetite Dom Jahve, Boga svojih otaca, i uklonite nečist iz Svetinje.
and said to them, Hear, you Levites: now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and cast out the impurity from the holy places.
6 Naši su se oci iznevjerili i radili što je zlo u očima Jahve, našega Boga. Ostavili su ga i odvratili lice od Jahvina Prebivališta, okrenuvši mu leđa.
For our fathers have revolted, and done that which was evil before the Lord our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their face from the tabernacle of the Lord, and have turned [their] back.
7 Zatvorili su trijemska vrata i potrnuli svjetiljke; nisu kadili kadom niti su prinosili paljenice u Svetištu Izraelova Boga.
And they have shut up the doors of the temple, and put out the lamps, and have not burnt incense, and have not offered whole burnt offerings in the holy [place] to the God of Israel.
8 Zato se Jahve rasrdio na Judejce i na Jeruzalem te je dopustio da budu zlostavljeni i da budu na užas i ruglo, kako vidite svojim očima.
And the Lord was very angry with Juda and Jerusalem, and made them an astonishment, and a desolation, and a hissing, as you see with your eyes.
9 I očevi su nam, eto, pali od mača, a sinovi, kćeri i žene zato su nam u ropstvu.
And, behold, your fathers have been struck with the sword, and your sons and your daughters and your wives are in captivity in a land not their own, as it is even now.
10 Sad sam, dakle, namislio u svom srcu sklopiti Savez s Jahvom, Izraelovim Bogom, da bi se odvratio od nas njegov jarosni gnjev.
Therefore it is now in my heart to make a covenant, a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turn away his fierce wrath from us.
11 Moja djeco, sad se nemojte lijeniti, jer vas je izabrao Jahve da stojite pred njim, da mu služite i da mu budete službenici i da mu kadite.”
And now be not lacking [to your duty], for the Lord has chosen you to stand before him to minister, and to be ministers and burners of incense to him.
12 Tada ustadoše leviti: Amasajev sin Mahat i Azarjin sin Joel od Kehatovih sinova; od Merarijevih sinova: Abdijev sin Kiš i Jehalelelov sin Azarja; od Geršonovaca: Zimin sin Joah i Joahov sin Eden;
Then the Levites rose up, Maath the son of Amasi, and Joel the son of Azarias, of the sons of Caath: and of the sons of Merari, Kis the son of Abdi, and Azarias the son of Haelel: and of the sons of Gedsoni, Jodaad the son of Zemmath, and Joadam: these [were] the sons of Joacha.
13 od Elisafanovih sinova: Šimri i Jeiel; od Asafovih sinova: Zaharija i Matanija;
And of the sons of Elisaphan; Zambri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zacharias, and Matthanias:
14 od Hemanovih sinova: Jehiel i Šimej; od Jedutunovih sinova: Šemaja i Uziel.
and of the sons of Aeman; Jeiel, and Semei: and of the sons of Idithun; Samaisa, and Oziel.
15 Oni skupiše braću, posvetiše se i dođoše kako je bio zapovjedio kralj po Jahvinim riječima da očiste Jahvin Dom.
And they gathered their brethren, and they purified themselves according to the king's command by the order of the Lord, to purify the house of the Lord.
16 Svećenici uđoše u Jahvin Dom da ga očiste. Počeli su svu nečist što su je našli u Jahvinu Hekalu iznositi u predvorje Jahvina Doma; leviti su je primali iznoseći je napolje na potok Kidron.
And the priests entered into the house of the Lord, to purify [it], and they cast out all the uncleanness that was found in the house of the Lord, even into the court of the house of the Lord: and the Levites received [it] to cast into the brook of Kedron without.
17 Počeli su posvećivati prvoga dana prvoga mjeseca, a osmoga su dana istoga mjeseca ušli u Jahvin trijem; posvećivali su Jahvin Dom osam dana; šesnaestoga su dana prvoga mjeseca završili.
And [Ezekias] began on the first day, [even] on the new moon of the first month, to purify, and on the eighth day of the month they entered into the temple of the Lord: and they purified the house of the Lord in eight days; and on the thirteenth day of the first month they finished [the work].
18 Onda su ušli kralju Ezekiji i rekli: “Očistili smo sav Jahvin Dom: žrtvenik za paljenice sa svim njegovim priborom, stol za prinesene kruhove sa svim njegovim priborom,
And they went in to king Ezekias, and said, We have purified all the things in the house of the Lord, the altar of whole burnt offering, and its vessels, and the table of show-bread, and its vessels;
19 a sve posuđe koje bijaše zabacio kralj Ahaz za svojega kraljevanja i nevjere opet smo obnovili i posvetili; eno ga pred Jahvinim žrtvenikom.”
and all the vessels which king Achaz polluted in his reign, in his apostasy, we have prepared and purified: behold, they are before the altar of the Lord.
20 Tada kralj Ezekija porani, skupi gradske knezove i ode u Jahvin Dom.
And king Ezekias rose early in the morning, and gathered the chief men of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord.
21 Dovedoše sedam mladih junaca, sedam ovnova, sedam jaganjaca, sedam jaraca za okajnicu, za kraljevstvo i za Svetište i za Judu; on zapovjedi Aronovim sinovima svećenicima da ih prinesu za paljenicu na Jahvinu žrtveniku.
And he brought seven calves, seven rams, seven lambs, seven kids of goats for a sin-offering, for the kingdom, and for the holy things, and for Israel: and he told the priests the sons of Aaron to go up to the altar of the Lord.
22 Zaklavši goveda, svećenici uzeše krv i poškropiše žrtvenik; zaklaše ovnove i krvlju poškropiše žrtvenik, zaklaše jaganjce i krvlju poškropiše žrtvenik.
And they killed the calves, and the priests received the blood, and poured it on the altar: and they killed the rams, and poured the blood upon the altar: also they killed the lambs, and poured the blood round the altar.
23 Dovedoše jarce za okajnicu pred kralja i pred zbor te metnuše ruke na njih.
And they brought the goats for a sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and laid their hands upon them.
24 Onda ih zaklaše svećenici i prinesoše kao okajnicu njihovu krv na žrtveniku da izvrše obred pomirenja za sav Izrael, jer kralj bijaše zapovjedio da se prinese paljenica i okajnica za sav Izrael.
And the priests killed them, and offered their blood as a propitiation on the altar; and they made atonement for all Israel: for the king said, The whole burnt offering, and the sin-offering [are] for all Israel.
25 Postavio je u Jahvinu Domu levite s cimbalima, harfama i citrama, kako bijaše zapovjedio David, kraljev vidjelac Gad i prorok Natan, jer je od Jahve dolazila zapovijed po njegovim prorocima.
And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, and lutes, and harps, according to the commandment of king David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for by the commandment of the Lord the order [was] in the hand of the prophets.
26 Tako su leviti stajali s Davidovim glazbalima, a svećenici s trubama.
And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
27 Tada Ezekija zapovjedi da prinesu paljenice na žrtveniku. Kad se stala prinositi paljenica, počela je Jahvina pjesma uz trube i uz glazbala izraelskoga kralja Davida.
And Ezekias told [them] to offer up the whole burnt offering on the altar: and when they began to offer the whole burnt offering, they began to sing to the Lord, and the trumpets [accompanied] the instruments of David king of Israel.
28 Sav se zbor klanjao, pjevači pjevali, a trubači trubili, i to sve dok se nije svršila paljenica.
And all the congregation worshipped, and the psalm-singers [were] singing, and the trumpets sounding, until the whole burnt sacrifice had been completely offered.
29 Kad se svršilo prinošenje paljenice, kralj i svi koji bijahu s njim pobožno padoše na koljena i pokloniše se.
And when they had done offering [it], the king and all that were present bowed, and worshipped.
30 Onda su kralj i knezovi zapovjedili levitima da hvale Jahvu riječima Davida i vidioca Asafa; oni su počeli hvaliti s najvećim veseljem i, pavši ničice, poklonili se.
And king Ezekias and the princes told the Levites to sing hymns to the Lord in the words of David, and of Asaph the prophet: and they sang hymns with gladness, and fell down and worshipped.
31 Tada Ezekija progovori: “Sada ste posvetili ruke Jahvi; pristupite i donesite klanice i zahvalnice u Dom Jahvin.” Sav je zbor donio klanice i zahvalnice. Tko je god bio spremna srca, prinio je paljenice.
Then Ezekias answered and said, Now you have consecrated yourselves to the Lord, bring near and offer sacrifices of praise in the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the Lord; and every one who was ready in his heart [brought] whole burnt offerings.
32 Paljenica što ih je donio zbor bijaše na broj: sedamdeset goveda, sto ovnova, dvjesta jaganjaca, sve za paljenice Jahvi.
And the number of the whole burnt offerings which the congregation brought, was seventy calves, a hundred rams, two hundred lambs: all these [were] for a whole burnt offering to the Lord.
33 Ostalih posvećenih darova bilo je šest stotina goveda i tri tisuće grla sitne stoke.
And the consecrated calves were six hundred, [and] the sheep three thousand.
34 Ali je svećenika bilo premalo, tako da nisu mogli oderati svih paljenica; zato su im pomagala braća leviti, dok se nije svršio posao i dok se nisu posvetili drugi svećenici, jer su leviti bili gorljiviji srcem da se posvete nego svećenici.
But the priests were few, and could not flay the whole burnt offering, so their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was finished, and until the priests had purified themselves: for the Levites [more] zealously purified [themselves] than the priests.
35 Bilo je i mnogo paljenica s pretilinom od pričesnica i s ljevanicama na paljenice. Tako se opet obnovila služba u Jahvinu Domu.
And the whole burnt offering [was] abundant, with the fat of the complete peace-offering, and the drink-offerings of the whole burnt sacrifice. So the service was established in the house of the Lord.
36 I Ezekija se veselio, i sav narod s njime, što je Bog spremio narodu, jer se sve to iznenada dogodilo.
And Ezekias and all the people rejoiced, because God has prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
