2 Kronická 29
1 Ezechiáš kralovati počal, když byl v pětmecítma letech, a dvadceti devět let kraloval v Jeruzalémě. Jméno matky jeho bylo Abia dcera Zachariášova.
Hezekiah was 25 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother was Abijah, the daughter of [a man whose name was] Zechariah.
2 A činil to, což pravého bylo před očima Hospodinovýma, podlé všech věcí, kteréž činil David otec jeho.
Hezekiah did things that Yahweh considered to be right, like his ancestor King David had done.
3 On prvního léta kralování svého měsíce prvního otevřel dvéře domu Hospodinova, a opravil je.
During March of the first year that Hezekiah was ruling Judah, he unlocked the doors of the temple, and his workers repaired them.
4 Uvedl také kněží a Levíty, shromáždiv je do ulice východní,
Then he gathered the priests and other descendants of Levi in the area on the east side of the temple,
5 A řekl jim: Slyšte mne, Levítové. Nyní posvěťte se, posvěťte také i domu Hospodina Boha otců vašich, a vyneste nečistotu z svatyně.
and he said to them, “You descendants of Levi, listen to me! Consecrate yourselves. And then consecrate the temple of Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped/belonged to]. Remove from the temple all the things that are not pleasing to God.
6 Neboť zhřešili otcové naši, a činili zlé věci před očima Hospodina Boha našeho, opouštějíce jej, a odvracujíce tvář svou od stánku Hospodinova, obracejíce se hřbetem k němu.
Our ancestors disobeyed God; they did many things that he considered to be evil, things that were not pleasing to him. They abandoned this place where Yahweh lives, and they have turned away from him.
7 Zavřeli také dvéře síně, a zhasili lampy, a kadidlem nekadili, aniž zápalu obětovali v svatyni Bohu Izraelskému.
They locked the doors of the temple and extinguished the lamps. They did not burn any incense, and they did not offer any sacrifices that were to be completely burned [on the altar].
8 Protož rozhněval se Hospodin na Judu a na Jeruzalém, a vydal je v posmýkání, zpuštění a ku podivení, jakož sami očima svýma vidíte.
Therefore, Yahweh has become very angry with us people of Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah, and he has caused other people to become frightened and horrified [when they hear what Yahweh did to punish us]. And they ridicule us. You know this very well.
9 A aj, padli otcové naši od meče, a synové naši i dcery naše a manželky naše zajaty jsou pro tu příčinu.
That is why our fathers have been killed in battles, and our sons and daughters and our wives have been captured and taken [to other countries].
10 Nyní tedy umínil jsem učiniti smlouvu s Hospodinem Bohem Izraelským, aby odvrátil od nás hněv prchlivosti své.
But now I intend to make an agreement with Yahweh, our God, in order that he will no longer be angry with us.
11 Synové moji, nebluďtež již. Vásť jest zajisté vyvolil Hospodin, abyste stojíce před ním, sloužili jemu, a byli služebníci jeho, a kadili.
[You who are like] my sons, do not waste any time. [Do immediately what Yahweh wants you to do.] Yahweh has chosen you to stand in his presence and offer sacrifices and burn incense.”
12 Tedy povstali Levítové tito: Machat syn Amazai, a Joel syn Azariášův z synů Kahat; z synů pak Merari: Cis syn Abdi, a Azariáš syn Jehalleelův; a z Gersonitských: Joach syn Zimma, a Eden syn Joachův;
Then these descendants of Levi started to work [in the temple]: From the descendants of Kohath there were Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah. From the descendants of Merari there were Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel. From the descendants of Gershon there were Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah.
13 Též z synů Elizafanových: Simri a Jehiel; z synů pak Azafových: Zachariáš a Mataniáš;
From the descendants of Elizaphan there were Shimri and Jeiel. From the descendants of Asaph there were Zechariah and Mattaniah.
14 A z synů Hémanových: Jechiel a Simei; z synů pak Jedutunových: Semaiáš a Uziel.
From the descendants of Heman there were Jehiel and Shimei. From the descendants of Jeduthun there were Shemaiah and Uzziel.
15 I shromáždili bratří své, kteříž posvětivše se, přišli podlé rozkázaní králova a slov Hospodinových, aby vyčistili dům Hospodinův.
When those men had gathered their fellow descendants of Levi and had consecrated themselves, they entered the temple in order to consecrate it. That was what the king had commanded them to do, and they were also obeying what Yahweh had commanded.
16 A všedše kněží do domu Hospodinova, aby jej vyčistili, vynesli všelikou nečistotu, kterouž našli v chrámě Hospodinově, do síně domu Hospodinova. Levítové pak probravše to, vynesli ven ku potoku Cedron.
The priests entered the temple to consecrate it. They brought out into the courtyard of the temple everything that they had found in the temple that was not pleasing to Yahweh. Then the descendants of Levi took those things down to the Kidron Valley [and burned them there].
17 Začali pak prvního dne měsíce prvního posvěcovati, a dne osmého téhož měsíce vešli do síně Hospodinovy, a posvěcovali domu Hospodinova za osm dní, a dne šestnáctého měsíce prvního dokonali.
The priests and other descendants of Levi started this work on the first day of March and finished purifying the courtyard [of the temple] on the eighth day of that month, and they finished purifying the temple one week later.
18 Tedy vešli k Ezechiášovi králi, a řekli: Vyčistili jsme všecken dům Hospodinův, i oltář zápalu, i všecky nádoby jeho, i stůl předložení a všecky nádoby jeho.
Then they went to King Hezekiah and reported, “We have purified all parts of the temple, and the altar where sacrifices are completely burned, and all the items used at the altar, the table on which the priests place the sacred bread, and the things [used at that table].
19 Všecky také nádoby, kteréž byl zavrhl král Achas za kralování svého, když převráceně činil, připravili jsme a posvětili, a aj, jsou před oltářem Hospodinovým.
While Ahaz was our king, he disobeyed what Yahweh had commanded, and he removed from the temple many things [that should be there], but now we have brought them back and placed them in front of the sacred altar.”
20 Potom vstav ráno Ezechiáš král, shromáždil úředníky města, a vstoupil do domu Hospodinova.
Early the next morning, King Hezekiah gathered together the city officials, and they went to the [courtyard of the] temple.
21 A přivedli volků sedm, a skopců sedm, a beránků sedm, a kozlů sedm za hřích, za království, a za svatyni, a za Judu; a rozkázal synům Aronovým kněžím, aby obětovali na oltáři Hospodinovu.
They took with them seven bulls, seven rams, seven male lambs, and seven male goats to be an offering in order that Yahweh would forgive the sins of all the people in the kingdom of Judah, and in order to purify the temple. The king commanded that the priests, who were descendants of Aaron, should offer those animals to be sacrificed to Yahweh on the altar.
22 Takž zbili voly ty, a kněží berouce krev jejich, kropili na oltář. Zbili též i skopce a pokropovali krví jejich oltáře; zbili také i beránky, a krví jejich kropili na oltář.
So first the priests slaughtered those bulls, and took their blood and sprinkled it on the altar. Then they slaughtered the rams and sprinkled their blood on the altar. Then they slaughtered the lambs and sprinkled their blood on the altar.
23 Přivedli i kozly k oběti za hřích před krále i shromáždění, kteřížto vložili ruce své na ně.
The goats that were slaughtered to be an offering in order that Yahweh would forgive the sins of the people were brought to the king and the others who were there. Then the king and those who were present laid their hands on those goats.
24 I zbili je kněží a vyčistili krví jejich oltář k očištění všeho Izraele; nebo za všecken lid Izraelský rozkázal král obětovati zápal a oběti za hřích.
Then the priests slaughtered those goats and splashed their blood on the altar in order that Yahweh would forgive the sins that all the Israeli people had committed. The priests did that because the king had commanded that offerings that would be completely burned [on the altar] and other sacrifices should be made for all the people of Israel.
25 Postavil zase i Levíty v domě Hospodinově s cymbály, loutnami a harfami podlé rozkázaní Davidova, a Gáda proroka královského, a Nátana proroka; nebo od Hospodina bylo to přikázáno skrze proroky jeho.
The king then told the descendants of Levi to stand in the temple with their cymbals and harps and lyres, obeying what David and his prophets Gad and Nathan had commanded. Those were things that Yahweh had told his prophets that the descendants of Levi should do.
26 A tak stáli Levítové s nástroji Davidovými a kněží s trubami.
So the descendants of Levi [went and] stood in the temple, ready to play the musical instruments that King David had given to them. And the priests were ready to blow their trumpets.
27 I rozkázal Ezechiáš, aby obětovali zápal na oltáři. A když se začala obět zápalná, začal se zpěv Hospodinův a troubení i zpěvové na nástroje Davida, krále Izraelského.
Then Hezekiah told some of the priests to burn the animals that would be sacrificed on the altar. When they started to burn the animals, the people started to sing to [praise] Yahweh, while the other descendants of Levi were playing their instruments.
28 Všecko pak shromáždění klanělo se, když zpěváci zpívali, a trubači troubili, a to vše, až se dokonal zápal.
All the people who were there bowed to worship Yahweh, while the singers sang and the trumpeters blew their trumpets. They continued to do this until they had finished slaughtering all the animals that would be completely burned.
29 A když dokonali obětování zápalu, sklonili se král a všickni, kteříž byli s ním, a poklonu učinili.
When they finished making those offerings, the king and all those who were there knelt down and worshiped Yahweh.
30 Tedy přikázal Ezechiáš král i knížata Levítům, aby chválili Hospodina slovy Davidovými a Azafa proroka. I chválili s velikým veselím, a sklánějíce se, poklonu činili.
Then King Hezekiah and his officials commanded the descendants of Levi to praise Yahweh, singing the songs [composed/written] by David and Asaph the prophet. So they sang songs joyfully and bowed their heads to worship.
31 Potom mluvil Ezechiáš, řka: Nyní jste posvětili rukou svých Hospodinu. Přistupte, a přiveďte oběti vítězné a oběti chvály do domu Hospodinova. Protož přivodilo shromáždění to oběti vítězné a oběti chvály, ano i každý z srdce ochotného k zápalným obětem,
Then Hezekiah said, “You have now dedicated yourselves to Yahweh. So come close to the temple and bring animals to be sacrificed and other offerings to thank [Yahweh for what he has done for you].” And those who wanted to bring animals to be completely burned [on the altar] brought them.
32 Tak že počet obětí zápalných, kteréž přivedlo shromáždění to, byl volů sedmdesáte, skopců sto, beránků dvě stě, všecko to na obět zápalnou Hospodinu.
Altogether they brought 70 bulls, 100 rams, and 200 male lambs to be completely burned on the altar.
33 Jiných pak věcí posvěcených bylo volů šest set, a ovec tři tisíce.
The other animals that they brought were 600 bulls and 3,000 sheep and goats that were set apart to be sacrifices.
34 Kněží však bylo málo, tak že nemohli postačiti vytahovati z koží všech obětí zápalných. Pročež pomáhali jim bratří jejich Levítové, až i dokonali dílo to, a dokudž se neposvětili jiní kněží; nebo Levítové byli hotovější ku posvěcení se, nežli kněží.
But there were not enough priests to remove the skins from the animals that would be completely burned [on the altar]. So their fellow descendants of Levi helped them until that work was finished, and until other priests had purified/consecrated themselves to do that work. It was necessary for them to do that because many of the priests had not yet performed the rituals to consecrate themselves for that work, like the descendants of Levi had done.
35 K tomu k zápalům bylo množství veliké tuků z obětí pokojných a obětí mokrých, kromě jiných zápalů. A tak vykonána byla služba domu Hospodinova.
In addition to the all the offerings that were completely burned [on the altar], the priests also burned the fat of the other animals that were sacrificed to maintain good fellowship with Yahweh, and the usual wine offerings. So the worship at the temple began again.
36 A veselil se Ezechiáš i všecken lid, že Bůh byl nastrojil lid, tak aby se ta věc rychle spravila.
And Hezekiah and all the other people of Judah celebrated, because God had enabled them to do all those things very quickly.
