2 Ljetopisa 35
1 Potom je Jošija svetkovao Pashu Jahvi u Jeruzalemu: klalo se pashalno jagnje četrnaestoga dana prvoga mjeseca.
Josiah kept a Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem. They killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 Postavio je svećenike na njihove službe, osokolivši ih na službu u Jahvinu Domu.
He set the priests in their offices and encouraged them in the service of the LORD’s house.
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!
He said to the Levites who taught all Israel, who were holy to the LORD, “Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built. It will no longer be a burden on your shoulders. Now serve the LORD your God and his people Israel.
4 I pripravite se po otačkim domovima, po redovima, kako je napisao izraelski kralj David i propisao sin mu Salomon.
Prepare yourselves after your fathers’ houses by your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.
5 Stojte u Svetinji po redovima otačkih domova svoje braće, običnoga puka, i po redu levitskoga otačkog doma.
Stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of your brothers the children of the people, and let there be for each a portion of a fathers’ house of the Levites.
6 I tako koljite pashalno janje te se posvetite i pripravite svoju braću da svetkuju kako je zapovjedio Jahve preko Mojsija.”
Kill the Passover lamb, sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the LORD’s word by 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.
Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and young goats, all of them for the Passover offerings, to all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls. 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.
His princes gave a free will offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the rulers of God’s house, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small livestock, and three hundred head of cattle.
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.
Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small livestock and five hundred head of cattle.
10 A kad je bila uređena služba, stali su svećenici na svoje mjesto i leviti u svojim redovima po kraljevoj zapovijedi.
So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their divisions, according to the king’s commandment.
11 Klali su Pashu, a svećenici su škropili krvlju, dok su leviti odirali kožu.
They killed the Passover lambs, and the priests sprinkled the blood which they received from their hands, and the Levites skinned them.
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.
They removed the burnt offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of the children of the people, to offer to the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. They did the same with the cattle.
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.
They roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance. They boiled the holy offerings in pots, in cauldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of 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.
Afterward they prepared for themselves and for the priests, because the priests the sons of Aaron were busy with offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night. Therefore the Levites prepared for themselves and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
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.
The singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their place, according to the commandment of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the gatekeepers were at every gate. They didn’t need to depart from their service, because their brothers the Levites prepared 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 prepared the same day, to keep the Passover, and to offer burnt offerings on the LORD’s altar, according to the commandment of King Josiah.
17 Tako su Izraelovi sinovi, koji su se našli ondje, u to doba sedam dana slavili Pashu i Blagdan beskvasnih kruhova.
The children of Israel who were present kept the Passover 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 Passover like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet, nor did any of the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept—with the priests, the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 Ta se Pasha svetkovala osamnaeste godine Jošijina kraljevanja.
This Passover was kept in the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah.
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 all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates, and Josiah went out against 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 ambassadors to him, saying, “What have I to do with you, you king of Judah? I come not against you today, but against the house with which I have war. God has commanded me to make haste. Beware that it is God who is with me, that he not destroy you.”
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.
Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and didn’t listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
23 Strijelci ustrijeliše kralja Jošiju, a on reče slugama: “Izvedite me jer sam teško ranjen.”
The archers shot at King Josiah; and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, because I am seriously 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.
So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
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.
Jeremiah lamented for Josiah, and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel. Behold, they are 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 Josiah and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the LORD’s law,
27 svi njegovi pothvati, od prvih do posljednjih, zapisani su u Knjizi o izraelskim i judejskim kraljevima.
and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
