2 Ljetopisa 34
1 Jošiji je bilo osam godina kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je trideset i jednu godinu u Jeruzalemu.
Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one 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.
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, and walked in the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn away to the right hand or 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.
For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, the Asherah poles, the engraved images, and the molten images.
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.
They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; and he cut down the incense altars that were on high above them. He broke the Asherah poles, the engraved images, and the molten images in pieces, made dust of them, and scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
5 Svećeničke je kosti spalio na njihovim žrtvenicima i tako očistio Judeju i Jeruzalem.
He burned the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
6 Isto je učinio i po gradovima Manašeova, Efrajimova i Šimunova plemena, pa do Naftalijeva, po njihovim opustošenim mjestima unaokolo.
He did this in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, around in their ruins.
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.
He broke down the altars, beat the Asherah poles and the engraved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel, then 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 purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz 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.
They came to Hilkiah the high priest and delivered the money that was brought into God’s house, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had gathered from the hands of Manasseh, Ephraim, of all the remnant of Israel, of all Judah and Benjamin, and of 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.
They delivered it into the hands of the workmen who had the oversight of the LORD’s house; and the workmen who labored in the LORD’s house gave it to mend and repair the house.
11 Dali su drvodjeljama i graditeljima da kupuju tesanac i drvo za grede i da se pobrvnaju kuće koje bijahu porušili judejski kraljevi.
They gave it to the carpenters and to the builders to buy cut stone and timber for couplings, and to make beams for the houses which the kings of Judah 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.
The men did the work faithfully. Their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to give direction; and others of the Levites, who were all skillful with musical instruments.
13 Jedni su bili nad bremenošama i nadstojnicima svih poslenika u svakoj službi, a drugi su od levita bili pisari, nadzornici i vratari.
Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and directed all who did the work in every kind of service. Of the Levites, there were scribes, officials, and gatekeepers.
14 Kad su iznosili novce donesene u Jahvin Dom, našao je svećenik Hilkija Knjigu Zakona Jahvina, danu preko Mojsija.
When they brought out the money that was brought into the LORD’s house, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the LORD’s law given by Moses.
15 I, progovorivši, Hilkija reče tajniku Šafanu: “Našao sam Knjigu Zakona u Domu Jahvinu.” Hilkija dade knjigu Šafanu.
Hilkiah answered Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the LORD’s house.” So Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.
16 Šafan odnese knjigu kralju i izvjesti ga: “Tvoje sluge rade sve što im se povjerilo.
Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought back word to the king, saying, “All that was committed to your servants, they are doing.
17 Izasuvši novce što su se našli u Domu Jahvinu, dadoše ih na ruku poslovođama i poslenicima.”
They have emptied out the money that was found in the LORD’s house, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers and into the hand of the workmen.”
18 Tada tajnik Šafan javi kralju: “Svećenik Hilkija dade mi jednu knjigu.” I Šafan je poče čitati pred kraljem.
Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book.” Shaphan read from it to the king.
19 Čuvši riječi Zakona, kralj razdrije haljine svoje.
When the king had heard the words of the law, he tore his clothes.
20 I naredi Hilkiji, Šafanovu sinu Ahikamu, Mikinu sinu Abdonu, tajniku Šafanu i kraljevu sluzi Asaji:
The king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah 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 inquire of the LORD for me, and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the LORD’s wrath that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the LORD’s word, to do according to all that is 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,
So Hilkiah and those whom the king had commanded went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter), and they spoke to her to that effect.
23 ona im reče: “Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Kažite čovjeku koji vas je poslao k meni:
She said to them, “The LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘Tell the man who 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.
“The LORD says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah.
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 burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands, therefore my wrath is poured out on this place, and it will 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 to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, you shall tell him this, ‘The LORD, the God of Israel says: “About the words which you have heard,
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!
because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this place and against its inhabitants, and have humbled yourself before me, and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you,” says 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.
“Behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes won’t see all the evil that I will bring on this place and on its inhabitants.”’” They brought back this message to the king.
29 Tada posla kralj da se saberu sve judejske i jeruzalemske starješine.
Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah 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.
The king went up to the LORD’s house with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem—the priests, the Levites, and all the people, both great and small—and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the LORD’s house.
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.
The king stood in his place and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, his testimonies, and his statutes with all his heart and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.
32 I sve koji su se našli u Jeruzalemu i Benjaminovu plemenu pozva da pristupe; i Jeruzalemci prionuše uza Savez Boga, Boga svojih otaca.
He caused all who were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand. The inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, 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.
Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that belonged to the children of Israel, and made all who were found in Israel to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. All his days they didn’t depart from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
