2 Kraljevima 23

1 Tada kralj posla da se saberu kod njega sve judejske i jeruzalemske starješine.

So they reported the word to the king: and the king sent and gathered all the elders of Juda and Jerusalem to himself.

2 Kralj potom uzađe u Dom Jahvin s Judejcima, Jeruzalemcima, svećenicima i prorocima i sa svim narodom, od najmanjega do najvećega. I pročita im sve riječi Knjige Saveza koja je nađena u Domu Jahvinu.

And the king went up to the house of the Lord, and every man of Juda and all who lived in Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people small and great; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the Lord.

3 Kralj, stojeći na svome mjestu, obnovi pred Jahvom Savez da će slijediti Jahvu i držati se njegovih zapovijedi, pouka i uredaba svim srcem i svom dušom da bi ispunio sve stavke toga Saveza zapisane u ovoj knjizi. Sav je narod stupio u Savez.

And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his ordinances with all the heart and with all the soul, to confirm the words of this covenant; [even] the things written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.

4 Kralj je zapovjedio velikom svećeniku Hilkiji, svećenicima drugog reda i čuvarima hramskog praga da iz Svetišta Jahvina iznesu sve bogoslužne predmete što bijahu načinjeni za Baala, za Ašeru i za svu nebesku vojsku. Odredio je da sve to spale izvan Jeruzalema u poljima kidronskim, a pepeo je odnio u Betel.

And the king commanded Chelcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and them that kept the door, to bring out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and all the host of heaven, and he burnt them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kedron, and took the ashes of them to Baethel.

5 Uklonio je lažne svećenike koje su judejski kraljevi postavili da pale kad na uzvišicama, u gradovima judejskim i u okolici Jeruzalema; i one koji su palili kad Baalu, suncu, mjesecu, zvijezdama i svoj vojsci nebeskoj.

And he burnt the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Juda [had] appointed, (and they burnt incense in the high places and in the cities of Juda, and the places around about Jerusalem); and them that burnt incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to Mazuroth, and to all the host of heaven.

6 Izvan Jeruzalema iznio je iz Doma Jahvina, u dolinu kidronsku, Ašeru i spalio ju je u dolini kidronskoj, satro u prah, a prah bacio na groblje sinova pučkih.

And he carried out the grove from the house of the Lord to the brook Kedron, and burnt it at the brook Kedron, and reduced it to powder, and cast its powder on the sepulchres of the sons of the people.

7 Razorio je stanove posvećenih bludnica koji su bili u Domu Jahvinu i u kojima su žene tkale haljine Ašeri.

And he pulled down the house of the sodomites that were by the house of the Lord, where the women wove tents for the grove.

8 Iz svih judejskih gradova doveo je svećenike i oskvrnuo je uzvišice gdje su ti svećenici prinosili kad, od Gebe do Beer Šebe. Zatim je srušio uzvišice pred vratima, one koje su bile na ulazu vrata Jošue, upravitelja grada, nalijevo kad se prilazi gradskim vratima.

And he brought up all the priest from the cities of Juda, and defiled the high places where the priests burnt incense, from Gaebal even to Bersabee; and he pulled down the house of the gates that was by the door of the gate of Joshua the ruler of the city, on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.

9 Isto tako svećenici uzvišica nisu mogli uzlaziti žrtveniku Jahvinu u Jeruzalemu, ali su jeli kruhove bez kvasa među svojom braćom.

Only the priests of the high places went not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, for they only ate leavened bread in the midst of their brethren.

10 Oskvrnio je Tofet u dolini Ben Hinom, kako nitko ne bi svoga sina ili kćerku provodio kroz oganj u čast Moleku.

And he defiled Taphes which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, [constructed] for a man to cause his son or his daughter to pass through fire to Moloch.

11 Razagnao je konje koje su judejski kraljevi prinijeli suncu na ulazu u Dom Jahvin, kraj sobe dvoranina Netan Meleka, koja se nalazila u blizini, i spalio je u ognju sunčana kola.

And he burnt the horses which the king of Juda had given to the sun in the entrance of the house of the Lord, by the treasury of Nathan the king's eunuch, in the suburbs; and he burnt the chariot of the sun with fire.

12 Žrtvenike na krovu koje bijahu sagradili judejski kraljevi i one koje je sagradio Manaše u oba predvorja Hrama Jahvina, kralj je srušio, uklonio ih odatle i bacio njihov prah u dolinu kidronsku.

And the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, did the king pull down and forcibly remove from thence, and cast their dust into the brook of Kedron.

13 Uzvišice koje su bile sučelice Jeruzalemu, na južnom dijelu Maslinske gore, i koje je izraelski kralj Salomon bio sagradio Aštarti, sramoti sidonskoj, Kemošu, sramoti moapskoj, i Milkomu, nakazi amonskoj - sve ih je kralj oskvrnio.

And the king defiled the house that was before Jerusalem, on the right hand of the mount of Mosthath, which Solomon king of Israel built to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the abomination of Moab, and to Moloch the abomination of the children of Ammon.

14 Razbio je stupove, iskorijenio ašere i njihova je mjesta ispunio ljudskim kostima.

And he broke in pieces the pillars, and utterly destroyed the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.

15 Isto tako i žrtvenik u Betelu, uzvišicu koju je sagradio Jeroboam, sin Nebatov, koji je naveo Izraela na grijeh, kralj je srušio, oborio žrtvenik i tu uzvišicu, satro kamenje u prah, spalio ašere.

Also the high altar in Baethel, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that high altar he tore down, and broke in pieces the stones of it, and reduced it to powder, and burnt the grove.

16 A kad se Jošija okrenuo i vidio grobove koji bijahu ondje na gori, posla da se sakupe kosti iz onih grobova i spali ih na žrtveniku. Tako ga je oskvrnuo, izvršavajući riječ Jahvinu, koju je objavio čovjek Božji (dok je Jeroboam bio na žrtveniku za vrijeme svečanosti). Okrenuvši se, Jošija baci oči na grob čovjeka Božjeg koji je objavio sve to

And Josias turned aside, and saw the tombs that were there in the city, and sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burnt them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the Lord which the man of God spoke, when Jeroboam stood by the altar at the feast: and he turned and raised his eyes to the tomb of the man of God that spoke these words.

17 i upita: “Kakav je ono spomenik što ga vidim?” Ljudi iz grada odgovoriše mu: “To je grob čovjeka Božjeg koji je došao iz Judeje i koji je prorekao sve ovo što si ti učinio s betelskim žrtvenikom.”

And he said, What [is] that mound which I see? And the men of the city said to him, [It is the grave of] the man of God that came out of Juda, and uttered these imprecations which he imprecated upon the altar of Baethel.

18 “Pustite ga na miru”, reče kralj, “i neka nitko ne dira njegove kosti.” Tako su ostale njegove kosti netaknute s kostima proroka koji je došao iz Samarije.

And he said, Let him alone; let no one disturb his bones. So his bones were spared, together with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.

19 Jošija je jednako razorio sve hramove uzvišica koje su izraelski kraljevi sagradili po gradovima Samarije da bi srdili Jahvu i učinio je s njima kao što je učinio u Betelu.

Moreover Josias removed all the houses of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel made to provoke the Lord, and did to them all that he did in Baethel.

20 Sve svećenike uzvišica poklao je na žrtvenicima; na njima je spalio i ljudske kosti. Potom se vratio u Jeruzalem.

And he sacrificed all the priests of the high places that were there on the altars, and burnt the bones of men upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.

21 Kralj naredi svemu narodu: “Svetkujte Pashu u čast Jahve, Boga svoga, po običaju koji je zapisan u ovoj Knjizi Saveza.”

And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover to the Lord your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.

22 Takva se Pasha nije svetkovala od vremena sudaca koji su sudili Izraelu i za sve vrijeme kraljeva izraelskih i judejskih.

For a passover [such as] this had not been kept from the days of the judges who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda.

23 Samo je osamnaeste godine kraljevanja Jošijina svetkovana takva Pasha u čast Jahve, u Jeruzalemu.

But in the eighteenth year of king Josias, was the passover kept to the Lord in Jerusalem.

24 Osim toga, sve bajače i sve vračare, sve kućne bogove i idole i sve sramote koje se mogu vidjeti u zemlji judejskoj i Jeruzalemu - sve je to Jošija uklonio da izvrši riječi Zakona, zapisane u knjizi koju je našao Hilkija, svećenik Doma Jahvina.

Moreover Josias removed the sorcerers, and the wizards, and the theraphin, and the idols, and all the abominations that had been set up in the land of Juda and in Jerusalem, that he might keep the words of the law that were written in the book, which Chelcias the priest found in the house of the Lord.

25 Nije bilo prije njega takva kralja koji se obratio Jahvi svim srcem svojim, svom dušom svojom i svom snagom svojom, u svemu vjeran Zakonu Mojsijevu, a ni poslije njega nije mu bilo ravna.

There was no king like him before him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, according to all the law of Moses; and after him there rose not one like him.

26 Ipak Jahve nije odustao od plamena svoga velikoga gnjeva kojim je uskipio protiv Judejaca zbog svih izazova kojima ga je Manaše ljutio.

Nevertheless the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his great anger, wherewith he was angry in his anger against Juda, because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses provoked him.

27 Jahve je odlučio: “Maknut ću Judejce ispred sebe kao što sam maknuo Izraela; odbacit ću ovaj grad koji sam izabrao, Jeruzalem, i Dom o kojem rekoh: 'Tu će biti Ime moje.'”

And the Lord said, I will also remove Juda from my presence, as I removed Israel, and will reject this city which I have chosen [even] Jerusalem, and the house [of] which I said, My name shall be there.

28 Ostala povijest Jošijina i sve što je učinio, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa judejskih kraljeva?

And the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?

29 U njegvo je vrijeme faraon Neko, egipatski kralj, krenuo protiv asirskoga kralja na rijeci Eufratu. Kralj Jošija pošao je preda nj, ali ga on ubi u Megidu, pri prvom susretu.

And in his days went up Pharao Nechao king of Egypt against the king of the Assyrians to the river Euphrates: and Josias went out to meet him: and Nechao killed him in Mageddo when he saw him.

30 Sluge njegove prenesoše mu tijelo kolima iz Megida, odvezoše ga u Jeruzalem i sahraniše u njegovoj grobnici. Sav narod zemlje primi Joahaza, sina Jošijina; pomazaše ga i proglasiše kraljem namjesto njegova oca.

And his servants carried him dead from Mageddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre: and the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and anointed him, and made him king in the room of his father.

31 Joahazu bijahu dvadeset i tri godine kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je tri mjeseca u Jeruzalemu. Njegova se majka zvala Hamitah, kći Jeremije, i bila je iz Libne.

Twenty and three years old was Joachaz when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Amital, daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.

32 On je činio što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, sve kao što su činili oci njegovi.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers did.

33 Faraon Neko bacio ga je u okove u Ribli, na području Hamata, da ne vlada u Jeruzalemu i udario je na zemlju danak od stotinu talenata srebra i deset talenata zlata.

And Pharao Nechao removed him to Rablaam in the land of Emath, so that he should not reign in Jerusalem; and imposed a tribute on the land, a hundred talents of silver, and a hundred talents of gold.

34 Faraon Neko postavio je za kralja Elijakima, sina Jošijina, na mjesto njegova oca Jošije. I ime mu je promijenio u Jojakim. A Joahaza je uzeo i odveo u Egipat te on umrije ondje.

And Pharao Nechao made Eliakim son of Josias king of Juda king over them in the place of his father Josias, and he changed his name [to] Joakim, and he took Joachaz and brought him to Egypt, and he died there.

35 Jojakim je dao faraonu srebro i zlato, ali je nametnuo zemlji porez da bi smogao svotu koju je faraon zahtijevao. Svakome je nametnuo prema njegovu stanju, uzimao srebro i zlato koje je morao davati faraonu Neku.

And Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao; but he assessed the land to give the money at the command of Pharao: they gave the silver and the gold [each] man according to his assessment together with the people of the land to give to Pharao Nechao.

36 Jojakimu je bilo dvadeset i pet godina kad je postao kraljem i kraljevao je jedanaest godina u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Zebida, kći Pedajina, i bila je iz Rume.

Twenty-five years old [was] Joakim when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Jeldaph, daughter of Phadail of Ruma.

37 On je činio što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, sve kao što su činili i oci njegovi.

And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
