2 Ljetopisa 34
1 Jošiji je bilo osam godina kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je trideset i jednu godinu u Jeruzalemu.
Josias was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one and thirty years in Jerusalem.
2 Činio je što je pravo u Jahvinim očima. U svemu je hodio putovima oca Davida, ne skrećući ni desno ni lijevo.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father: he declined not, neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
3 Osme godine kraljevanja, dok još bijaše dječak, počeo je tražiti Boga oca Davida, a dvanaeste je godine stao čistiti Judeju i Jeruzalem od uzvišica, ašera, od rezanih i livenih likova.
And in the eighth year of his reign, when he was yet a boy, he began to seek the God of his father David: and in the twelfth year after he began to reign, he cleansed Juda and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the idols, and the graven things.
4 Pred njim su oborili žrtvenike Baalu, polomio je sunčane stupove koji bijahu na njima; izlomio je i satro ašere i rezane i livene likove, prosuo ih po grobovima onih što su im prinosili žrtve.
And they broke down before him the altars of Baalim, and demolished the idols that had been set upon them: and be cut down the groves and the graven things, and broke them in pieces: and strewed the fragments upon the graves of them that had sacrificed to them.
5 Svećeničke je kosti spalio na njihovim žrtvenicima i tako očistio Judeju i Jeruzalem.
And he burnt the bones of the priests on the altars of the idols, and he cleansed Juda and Jerusalem.
6 Isto je učinio i po gradovima Manašeova, Efrajimova i Šimunova plemena, pa do Naftalijeva, po njihovim opustošenim mjestima unaokolo.
And in the cities of Manasses, and of Ephraim, and of Simeon, even to Nephtali he demolished all.
7 Oborio je žrtvenike i ašere, raskovao i satro rezane likove i isjekao sve sunčane stupove po svoj zemlji izraelskoj, a onda se vratio u Jeruzalem.
And when he had destroyed the altars, and the groves, and had broken the idols in pieces, and had demolished all profane temples throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
8 Osamnaeste godine kraljevanja, očistivši zemlju i Dom, posla Asalijahina sina Šafana, gradskoga upravitelja Maaseju, Johazova sina Joaha, tajnika, da poprave Dom Jahve, njegova Boga.
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had cleansed the land, and the temple of the Lord, he sent Saphan the son of Eselias, and Maasias the governor of the city, Joha the son of Joachaz the recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God.
9 Oni su došli k velikom svećeniku Hilkiji i predali mu novce donesene u Božji Dom, koje bijahu sabrali leviti, čuvari hramskog praga, iz ruke Manašeovih i Efrajimovih sinova i od svega Izraelova Ostatka, od svega Judina i Benjaminova plemena, od jeruzalemskih stanovnika.
And they came to Helcias the high priest: and received of him the money which had been brought into the house of the Lord, and which the Levites and porters had gathered together from Manasses, and Ephraim, and all the remnant of Israel, and from all Juda, and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
10 Dali su to na ruku poslovođama, postavljenim nad Domom Jahvinim, a oni su izdavali poslenicima koji su radili u Domu Jahvinu, popravljajući što je bilo trošno i obnavljajući Hram.
Which they delivered into the hands of them that were over the workmen in the house of the Lord, to repair the temple, and mend all that was weak.
11 Dali su drvodjeljama i graditeljima da kupuju tesanac i drvo za grede i da se pobrvnaju kuće koje bijahu porušili judejski kraljevi.
But they gave it to the artificers, and to the masons, to buy stones out of the quarries, and timber for the couplings of the building, and to rafter the houses, which the kings of Juda had destroyed.
12 Ti su ljudi savjesno obavljali posao; nad njima su bili postavljeni Jahat i Obadja, leviti od Merarijevih sinova, i Zaharija i Mešulam od Kehatovih sinova da upravljaju radom. Svi su leviti bili vični glazbalima.
And they did all faithfully. Now the overseers of the workmen were Jahath and Abdias of the sons of Merari, Zacharias and Mosollam of the sons of Caath, who hastened the work: all Levites skillful to play on instruments.
13 Jedni su bili nad bremenošama i nadstojnicima svih poslenika u svakoj službi, a drugi su od levita bili pisari, nadzornici i vratari.
But over them that carried burdens for divers uses, were scribes, and masters of the number of the Levites, and porters.
14 Kad su iznosili novce donesene u Jahvin Dom, našao je svećenik Hilkija Knjigu Zakona Jahvina, danu preko Mojsija.
Now when they carried out the money that had been brought into the temple of the Lord, Helcias the priest found the book of the law of the Lord, by the hand of Moses.
15 I, progovorivši, Hilkija reče tajniku Šafanu: “Našao sam Knjigu Zakona u Domu Jahvinu.” Hilkija dade knjigu Šafanu.
And he said to Saphan the scribe: I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord: and he delivered it to him.
16 Šafan odnese knjigu kralju i izvjesti ga: “Tvoje sluge rade sve što im se povjerilo.
But he carried the book to the king, and told him, saying: Lo, all that thou hast committed to thy servants, is accomplished.
17 Izasuvši novce što su se našli u Domu Jahvinu, dadoše ih na ruku poslovođama i poslenicima.”
They have gathered together the silver that was found in the house of the Lord: and it is given to the overseers of the artificers, and of the workmen, for divers works.
18 Tada tajnik Šafan javi kralju: “Svećenik Hilkija dade mi jednu knjigu.” I Šafan je poče čitati pred kraljem.
Moreover Helcias the priest gave me this book. And he read it before the king.
19 Čuvši riječi Zakona, kralj razdrije haljine svoje.
And when he had heard the words of the law, he rent his garments:
20 I naredi Hilkiji, Šafanovu sinu Ahikamu, Mikinu sinu Abdonu, tajniku Šafanu i kraljevu sluzi Asaji:
And he commanded Helcias, and Ahicam the son of Saphan, and Abdon the son of Micha, and Saphan the scribe, and Asaa the king’s servant, saying:
21 “Idite i upitajte Jahvu o meni i Ostatku Izraela i Judeje zbog ove knjige što je nađena, jer je velika Jahvina jarost što se izlila na nas zato što naši očevi nisu čuvali Jahvine riječi, nisu vršili što je pisano u knjizi.”
Go, and pray to the Lord for me, and for the remnant of Israel, and Juda, concerning all the words of this book, which is found: for the great wrath of the Lord hath fallen upon us, because our fathers have not kept the words of the Lord, to do all things that are written in this book.
22 Hilkija s kraljevim ljudima ode proročici Huldi, ženi Šaluma, Tokhatova sina, sina Hasre, čuvara odjeće; ona je živjela u Jeruzalemu, u novom gradu. Kad joj to kazaše,
And Helcias and they that were sent with him by the king, went to Olda the prophetess, the wife of Sellum the son of Thecuath, the son of Hasra keeper of the wardrobe: who dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second part: and they spoke to her the words above mentioned.
23 ona im reče: “Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Kažite čovjeku koji vas je poslao k meni:
And she answered them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Tell the man that sent you to me:
24 Ovako veli Jahve: Evo, dovest ću nesreću na ovaj grad i na njegove stanovnike, izvršit ću sve kletve napisane u knjizi što je pročitaše pred judejskim kraljem.
Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring evils upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, and all the curses that are written in this book which they read before the king of Juda.
25 Jer su me ostavili i kadili tuđim bogovima da bi me ljutili svim djelima ruku svojih, planut će jarost moja na to mjesto i neće se ugasiti.
Because they have forsaken me, and have sacrificed to strange gods, to provoke me to wrath with all the works of their hands, therefore my wrath shall fall upon this place, and shall not be quenched.
26 A judejskome kralju, koji vas je poslao po Jahvin savjet, recite ovo: Ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: Riječi si čuo.
But as to the king of Juda that sent you to beseech the Lord, thus shall you say to him: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Because thou hast heard the words of this book,
27 Ali kako ti je omekšalo srce i jer si se ponizio pred Bogom čuvši što sam objavio tome gradu i njegovim stanovnicima, i ponizivši se preda mnom, razdro si haljine i plakao, zato sam te uslišio - riječ je Jahvina!
And thy heart was softened. and thou hast humbled thyself in the sight of God for the things that are spoken against this place, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and reverencing my face, hast rent thy garments, and wept before me: I also have heard thee, saith the Lord.
28 Evo, sjedinit ću te s ocima tvojim i s mirom ćeš leći u grob da ne vidiš svu nesreću koju ću svaliti na ovo mjesto i njegove stanovnike.'” Oni odnesoše taj odgovor kralju.
For now I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be brought to thy tomb in peace: and thy eyes shall not see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and the inhabitants thereof. They therefore reported to the king all that she had said.
29 Tada posla kralj da se saberu sve judejske i jeruzalemske starješine.
And he called together all the ancients of Juda and Jerusalem.
30 Kralj se potom pope u Dom Jahvin, sa svim Judejcima, Jeruzalemcima, svećenicima, levitima i sa svim narodom, od najvećega do najmanjeg. I pročita im sve riječi Knjige Saveza što je nađena u Domu Jahvinu.
And went up to the house of the Lord, and all the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests and the Levites, and all the people from the least to the greatest. And the king read in their hearing, in the house of the Lord, all the words of the book.
31 Kralj, stojeći na svome mjestu, obnovi pred Jahvom Savez da će slijediti Jahvu, držati se njegovih zapovijedi, pouka i uredaba svim srcem i svom dušom da bi izvršio sve stavke toga Saveza što su napisane u knjizi.
And standing up in his tribunal, he made a covenant before the Lord to walk after him, and keep his commandments, and testimonies, and justifications with all his heart, and with all his soul, and to do the things that were written in that book which he had read.
32 I sve koji su se našli u Jeruzalemu i Benjaminovu plemenu pozva da pristupe; i Jeruzalemci prionuše uza Savez Boga, Boga svojih otaca.
And he adjured all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to do the same: and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of the Lord the God of their fathers.
33 Tada Jošija ukloni sve gnusobe iz svih izraelskih krajeva i učini te svi koji su se našli u Izraelu počeše služiti Jahvi, svojem Bogu. Za svega njegova života nisu odstupili od Jahve, Boga svojih otaca.
And Josias took away all the abominations out of all the countries of the children of Israel: and made all that were left in Israel, to serve the Lord their God. As long as he lived they departed not from the Lord the God of their fathers.
