2 Ljetopisa 35
1 Potom je Jošija svetkovao Pashu Jahvi u Jeruzalemu: klalo se pashalno jagnje četrnaestoga dana prvoga mjeseca.
And Josias kept a phase to the Lord in Jerusalem, and it was sacrificed on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 Postavio je svećenike na njihove službe, osokolivši ih na službu u Jahvinu Domu.
And he set the priests in their offices, and exhorted them to minister in the house of the Lord.
3 Zatim je rekao levitima koji su poučavali sve Izraelce i bili posvećeni Jahvi: “Metnite sveti Kovčeg u Dom koji je sagradio Davidov sin Salomon, izraelski kralj; ne smijete ga više nositi na ramenima; sada služite Jahvi, svojem Bogu, i njegovu izraelskom narodu!
And he spoke to the Levites, by whose instruction all Israel was sanctified to the Lord, saying: Put the ark in the sanctuary of the temple, which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built: for you shall carry it no more: but minister now to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel.
4 I pripravite se po otačkim domovima, po redovima, kako je napisao izraelski kralj David i propisao sin mu Salomon.
And prepare yourselves by your houses, and families according to your courses, as David king of Israel commanded, and Solomon his son hath written.
5 Stojte u Svetinji po redovima otačkih domova svoje braće, običnoga puka, i po redu levitskoga otačkog doma.
And serve ye in the sanctuary by the families and companies of Levi.
6 I tako koljite pashalno janje te se posvetite i pripravite svoju braću da svetkuju kako je zapovjedio Jahve preko Mojsija.”
And being sanctified kill the phase, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the words which the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.
7 Jošija je darovao običnom puku od sitne stoke jaganjaca i jarića, sve za Pashu, svima koji su se našli ondje, na broj trideset tisuća, i tri tisuće goveda, sve to s kraljeva imanja.
And Josias gave to all the people that were found there in the solemnity of the phase, of lambs and of kids of the flocks, and of other small cattle thirty thousand, and of oxen three thousand, all these were of the king’s substance.
8 Njegovi su knezovi dragovoljno darovali narodu, svećenicima i levitima, i to: Hilkija, Zaharija i Jehiel, predstojnici u Božjem Domu, dali su svećenicima za Pashu dvije tisuće i šest stotina jaganjaca i jarića i tri stotine goveda.
And his princes willingly offered what they had vowed, both to the people and to the priests and the Levites. Moreover Helcias, and Zacharias, and Jahiel rulers of the house of the Lord, gave to the priests to keep the phase two thousand six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.
9 A Konanija, Šemaja i Netanel, njegova braća Hašabja, Jehiel i Jozabad, levitski knezovi, darovali su levitima za Pashu pet tisuća grla sitne stoke i pet stotina goveda.
And Chonenias, and Semeias and Nathanael, his brethren, and Hasabias, and Jehiel, and Jozabad princes of the Levites, gave to the rest of the Levites to celebrate the phase five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.
10 A kad je bila uređena služba, stali su svećenici na svoje mjesto i leviti u svojim redovima po kraljevoj zapovijedi.
And the ministry was prepared, and the priests stood in their office: the Levites also in their companies, according to the king’s commandment.
11 Klali su Pashu, a svećenici su škropili krvlju, dok su leviti odirali kožu.
And the phase was immolated: and the priests sprinkled the blood with their hand, and the Levites flayed the holocausts:
12 Onda su pripravili paljenice da ih dadu običnom puku po redovima otačkih domova da ih prinese Jahvi, kako je napisano u Mojsijevoj knjizi. Tako su učinili i s govedima.
And they separated them to give them by the houses and families of every one, and to be offered to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses, and with the oxen they did in like manner.
13 Pekli su Pashu na ognju po običaju, a ostale su posvećene stvari kuhali u loncima, kotlovima i zdjelama i brzo ih raznosili svemu običnom puku.
And they roasted the phase with fire, according to that which is written in the law: but the victims of peace offerings they boiled in caldrons, and kettles, and pots, and they distributed them speedily among all the people.
14 Poslije su pripravljali Pashu sebi i svećenicima, jer su svećenici, Aronovi sinovi, bili zaposleni prinošenjem paljenica i pretiline do noći; zato su leviti pripravljali sebi i svećenicima, Aronovim sinovima.
And afterwards they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: for the priests were busied in offering of holocausts and the fat until night: wherefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron last.
15 A pjevači, Asafovi sinovi, stajali su na svojem mjestu, kako je bio zapovjedio David, Asaf, Heman i kraljev vidjelac Jedutun. Vratari su stajali na svakim vratima; oni se nisu micali od službe, nego su im njihova braća leviti pripravljala sve.
And the singers the sons of Asaph stood in their order, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Idithun the prophets of the king: and the porters kept guard at every gate, so as not to depart one moment from their service: and therefore their brethren the Levites prepared meats for them.
16 Tako je bila uređena sva Jahvina služba onoga dana da se proslavi Pasha i da se prinesu paljenice na Jahvinu žrtveniku po zapovijedi kralja Jošije.
So all the service of the Lord was duly accomplished that day, both in keeping the phase, and offering holocausts upon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of king Josias.
17 Tako su Izraelovi sinovi, koji su se našli ondje, u to doba sedam dana slavili Pashu i Blagdan beskvasnih kruhova.
And the children of Israel that were found there, kept the phase at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
18 Pasha kao ova u Izraelu nije se slavila od vremena proroka Samuela niti je ijedan od izraelskih kraljeva slavio Pashu kao što ju je slavio Jošija - sa svećenicima, levitima i sa svim Judejcima i Izraelcima, koliko ih se god našlo, i s Jeruzalemcima.
There was no phase like to this in Israel, from the days of Samuel the prophet: neither did any of all the kings of Israel keep such a phase as Josias kept, with the priests, and the Levites, and all Juda, and Israel that were found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 Ta se Pasha svetkovala osamnaeste godine Jošijina kraljevanja.
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias was this phase celebrated.
20 Poslije svega toga, kad je Jošija uredio Dom, došao je egipatski kralj Neko da se bije kod Karkemiša na Eufratu, a Jošija je izišao preda nj.
After that Josias had repaired the temple, Nechao king of Egypt came up to fight in Charcamis by the Euphrates: and Josias went out to meet him.
21 Kralj Neko poslao je Jošiji glasnike i poručio: “Što ja imam s tobom, judejski kralju? Ne idem ja danas na tebe, nego na dom s kojim sam u ratu, i Bog mi je zapovjedio da se požurim. Okani se Boga koji je sa mnom da te ne upropastim!”
But he sent messengers to him, saying: What have I to do with thee, O king of Juda? I come not against thee this day, but I fight against another house, to which God hath commanded me to go in haste: forbear to do against God, who is with me, lest he kill thee.
22 Ali Jošija nije odvratio lica od njega, nego se ojunačio da se bije s njim; ne poslušavši Nekovih riječi iz Božjih usta, došao je da se bije na Megidskom polju.
Josias would not return, but prepared to fight against him, and hearkened not to the words of Nechao from the mouth of God, I but went to fight in the field of Mageddo.
23 Strijelci ustrijeliše kralja Jošiju, a on reče slugama: “Izvedite me jer sam teško ranjen.”
And there he was wounded by the archers, and he said to his servants: Carry me out of the battle, for I am grievously wounded.
24 Sluge ga skinuše s bojnih kola i metnuše u druga kola koja je imao, pa ga odvezoše u Jeruzalem; ondje je umro i bio sahranjen u grobnici otaca. Sva Judeja s Jeruzalemom plakala je za Jošijom.
And they removed him from the chariot into another, that followed him after the manner of kings, and they carried him away to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in the monument of his fathers, and all Juda and Jerusalem mourned for him,
25 I Jeremija je protužio za Jošijom. I svi pjevači i pjevačice spominju u tužbalicama Jošiju do danas; uveli su ih u običaj u Izraelu, i eno su zapisane u Tužbalicama.
Particularly Jeremias: whose lamentations for Josias all the singing men and singing women repeat unto this day, and it became like a law in Israel: Behold it is found written in the Lamentations.
26 Ostala Jošijina djela i njegova pobožnost, vršeni onako kako piše u Jahvinu Zakonu,
Now the rest of the acts of Josias and of his mercies, according to what was commanded by the law of the Lord:
27 svi njegovi pothvati, od prvih do posljednjih, zapisani su u Knjizi o izraelskim i judejskim kraljevima.
And his works first and last, are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
