2 Ljetopisa 30

1 Potom Ezekija poruči svim Izraelcima i Judejcima pa napisa i pisma Efrajimovu i Manašeovu plemenu da dođu u Jahvin Dom u Jeruzalem da proslave Pashu Jahvi, Izraelovu Bogu.

And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Yhwh at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto Yhwh God of Israel.

2 Kralj, vijećajući s knezovima i sa svim zborom u Jeruzalemu, odluči da slave Pashu drugoga mjeseca.

For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.

3 Toga nisu mogli učiniti u pravo vrijeme jer nije bilo dosta posvećenih svećenika, i narod se ne bijaše skupio u Jeruzalemu.

For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.

4 I to je bilo prÓavo u kraljevim očima i u očima svega zbora,

And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.

5 pa su odredili da se oglasi po svem Izraelu od Beer Šebe pa do Dana da dođu i proslave Pashu Jahvi, Izraelovu Bogu, u Jeruzalemu, jer je premnogi nisu svetkovali kako je propisano.

So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer–sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto Yhwh God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written.

6 Tako su otišli glasnici s pismima od kralja i njegovih knezova po svem Izraelu i Judi te su govorili po kraljevoj zapovijedi: “Izraelovi sinovi, obratite se Jahvi, Abrahamovu, Izakovu i Izraelovu Bogu, pa će se i on obratiti k Ostatku koji vam je ostao od ruku asirskih kraljeva.

So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto Yhwh God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

7 I nemojte biti kao vaši očevi i vaša braća, koji su se iznevjerili Jahvi, Bogu svojih otaca, te ih je predao propasti, kako i sami vidite.

And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against Yhwh God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.

8 Nemojte, dakle, biti tvrdovrati kao vaši očevi: pružite ruku Jahvi i dođite u njegovu Svetinju koju je posvetio zauvijek i služite Jahvi, svome Bogu, pa će odvratiti od vas svoj žestoki gnjev.

Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto Yhwh, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve Yhwh your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.

9 Ako se obratite Jahvi, vaša će braća i vaši sinovi naći milost u onih koji su ih zarobili pa će se vratiti u ovu zemlju; jer je Jahve, vaš Bog, milostiv i milosrdan i neće odvratiti lica od vas ako se vi obratite njemu.”

For if ye turn again unto Yhwh, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for Yhwh your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.

10 I tako su glasnici krenuli od grada do grada po Efrajimovoj i Manašeovoj zemlji pa do Zebuluna, a ljudi im se podsmijavali i rugali.

So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.

11 Ipak su se neki od Ašerova, od Manašeova i od Zebulunova plemena ponizili i došli u Jeruzalem.

Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.

12 Na Judejce je pak sišla Božja ruka i prožela ih jednodušnošću da čine što bijaše zapovjedio kralj i knezovi po Jahvinoj riječi.

Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of Yhwh.

13 Skupilo se u Jeruzalemu mnogo naroda da slave Blagdan beskvasnih kruhova, drugoga mjeseca; zbor je bio vrlo velik.

And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.

14 Tada su ustali i uklonili žrtvenike što su bili u Jeruzalemu, uklonili sve kadionike i bacili ih u potok Kidron.

And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.

15 Onda su stali klati Pashu četrnaestoga dana drugoga mjeseca, a svećenici i leviti postidjeli se i, posvetiv se, počeli unositi paljenice u Jahvin Dom.

Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of Yhwh.

16 Stali su na svoje mjesto po pravilu, po Zakonu Mojsija, čovjeka Božjeg; svećenici su škropili krvlju primajući je iz ruku levita.

And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.

17 Kako ih bijaše mnogo u zboru koji se nisu posvetili, leviti su klali pashalne jaganjce za sve koji nisu bili čisti, da bi ih posvetili Jahvi.

For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto Yhwh.

18 Najveći se dio naroda, mnogi od Efrajimova i Manašeova, Jisakarova i Zebulunova plemena, nije očistio te je jeo Pashu nepropisno. Ali se za njih pomolio Ezekija govoreći: “Blagi Jahve neka očisti od grijeha svakoga

For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good Yhwh pardon every one

19 tko je upravio srce da traži Boga Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca, ako i nije čist kako dolikuje Svetištu!”

That prepareth his heart to seek God, Yhwh God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.

20 Jahve je uslišio Ezekiju i oprostio narodu.

And Yhwh hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.

21 Tako su Izraelovi sinovi koji su se zatekli u Jeruzalemu svetkovali Blagdan beskvasnih kruhova sedam dana s velikim veseljem, a leviti i svećenici hvalili Jahvu iz dana u dan uz glazbala za Jahvinu slavu.

And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised Yhwh day by day, singing with loud instruments unto Yhwh.

22 Ezekija je hrabrio levite koji su pokazivali divnu privrženost Jahvi. Jeli su svečanu žrtvu sedam dana, žrtvujući žrtve pričesnice i slaveći Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca.

And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of Yhwh: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to Yhwh God of their fathers.

23 Potom je sav zbor vijećajući odlučio da svetkuje još sedam dana; svetkovali su još sedam dana s veseljem.

And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness.

24 Judejski kralj Ezekija darovao je zboru tisuću mladih junaca i sedam tisuća grla sitne stoke; a knezovi darivali zboru tisuću mladih junaca i deset tisuća grla sitne stoke; tada se posvetilo mnogo svećenika.

For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.

25 Tako se proveselio sav judejski zbor, i svećenici i leviti, i sav zbor što je bio došao iz Izraela, i došljaci koji bijahu došli iz zemlje izraelske, i stanovnici u Judeji.

And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.

26 Bilo je veliko veselje u Jeruzalemu, jer od vremena Davidova sina Salomona, izraelskoga kralja, nije bilo tako u Jeruzalemu.

So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.

27 Onda su ustali svećenici i leviti te blagoslovili narod: njihov je glas bio uslišan, a njihova je molitva doprla do Božjega svetog Prebivališta na nebu.

Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.
