2 Královská 22
1 V osmi letech byl Joziáš, když počal kralovati, a kraloval jedno a třidceti let v Jeruzalémě. Jméno matky jeho bylo Jedida, dcera Adaiášova z Baskat.
Josiah was eight years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 31 years. His mother was Jedidah and his grandfather was Adaiah from Bozkath [town].
2 Ten činil to, což pravého jest před očima Hospodinovýma, chodě po vší cestě Davida otce svého, a neuchyluje se na pravo ani na levo.
Josiah did things that were pleasing to Yahweh and conducted his life as his ancestor King David had done. He completely obeyed [IDM] all the laws of God.
3 Stalo se pak osmnáctého léta krále Joziáše, že poslal král Safana syna Azaliášova, syna Mesullamova, písaře, do domu Hospodinova, řka:
After Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years, he sent his secretary Shaphan, the son of Azaliah and grandson of Meshullam, to the temple with these instructions:
4 Jdi k Helkiášovi knězi nejvyššímu, ať sečtou peníze, kteréž jsou vneseny do domu Hospodinova, kteréž sebrali strážní prahu od lidu.
“Go to Hilkiah, the Supreme Priest, and tell him to give me a report, telling me how much money the men who guard the doors of the temple have collected from the people [as offerings].
5 A ať je dadí v ruce řemeslníků představených nad dílem domu Hospodinova, aby je obraceli na dělníky, kteříž dělají dílo v domě Hospodinově, k opravení zbořenin domu,
Then tell him to give all that money to the men who are supervising the work of repairing the temple.
6 Totiž na tesaře a stavitele a zedníky, též aby jednali dříví a tesané kamení k opravování domu.
They must give that money to the carpenters, the builders, and the masons, and they should also buy the timber and the stones that they will use to repair the temple.
7 A však ať počtu nečiní z peněz, kteréž se dávají v ruce jejich; nebo věrně dělati budou.
But the men who supervise the work will not be required to make a report on the money that is given to them, saying what they spent it for, because those men are completely honest.”
8 I řekl Helkiáš kněz nejvyšší Safanovi písaři: Knihu zákona nalezl jsem v domě Hospodinově. I dal Helkiáš knihu tu Safanovi, kterýž četl v ní.
[After Shaphan said that to Hilkiah] the king’s secretary, Hilkiah said to Shaphan, “I have found in the temple a scroll on which is written the laws [that God gave to Moses]!” Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan, and he started to read it.
9 Přišel pak Safan písař k králi, a oznamuje králi tu věc, řekl: Sebrali služebníci tvoji peníze, kteréž se nalezly v domě Páně, a dali je v ruce řemeslníků představených nad dílem domu Hospodinova.
Then Shaphan [took the scroll] to the king and said to him, “Your temple guards have taken the money that was in the temple, and they have given it to the men who will supervise the work of repairing the temple.”
10 Oznámil také Safan písař králi, řka: Knihu mi dal Helkiáš kněz. I četl ji Safan před králem.
Then Shaphan said to the king, [“I have brought to you] a scroll that Hilkiah gave to me.” And Shaphan started to read it to the king.
11 A když slyšel král slova knihy zákona, roztrhl roucho své.
When the king heard the laws that were written in the scroll that Shaphan was reading to him, he tore his clothes [because he was very dismayed].
12 A rozkázal král Helkiášovi knězi, a Achikamovi synu Safanovu, a Achborovi synu Michaia, a Safanovi písaři, a Asaiášovi služebníku královskému, řka:
Then he gave these instructions to Hilkiah, to Shaphan’s son Ahikam, to Micaiah’s son Achbor, and to Asaiah, the king’s special advisor:
13 Jděte, poraďte se s Hospodinem o mne i o lid, a o všeho Judu z strany slov knihy této, kteráž jest nalezena; nebo veliký jest hněv Hospodinův, kterýž rozpálen jest proti nám, proto že otcové naši neposlouchali slov knihy této, aby činili všecko tak, jakž jest nám zapsáno.
“Go and ask Yahweh for me and for all the people of Judah, about what is written in this scroll that has been found. Because [it is clear that] Yahweh is very angry with us because our ancestors disobeyed what was written on this scroll, things that we [should have done].”
14 Tedy šli Helkiáš kněz a Achikam, a Achbor, a Safan a Asaia k Chuldě prorokyni, manželce Salluma, syna Tekue, syna Charchas, strážného nad rouchem; nebo bydlila v Jeruzalémě na druhé straně. A mluvili s ní.
So Hilkiah, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to (consult/talk with) a woman whose name was Huldah, who was a prophetess who lived in the newer/northern part of Jerusalem. Her husband Shallum, son of Tikvah and grandson of Harhas, took care of the robes that were worn [in the temple] (OR, [by the king]). [Those five men told her about the scroll].
15 Kteráž řekla jim: Toto praví Hospodin Bůh Izraelský: Povězte muži, kterýž vás poslal ke mně:
She said to them, “This is what Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] says: ‘Go back and tell the king who sent you
16 Takto praví Hospodin: Aj, já uvedu zlé věci na místo toto a na obyvatele jeho, všecka slova knihy té, kterouž četl král Judský,
that this is what Yahweh says: “Listen to this carefully. I am going to cause all the people who live here in Jerusalem to experience a disaster, which is what was written in the scroll that the king has read.
17 Proto že mne opustili a kadili bohům cizím, aby mne popouzeli všelikým dílem rukou svých. Z té příčiny rozpálila se prchlivost má na místo toto, aniž bude uhašena.
I will do that because they have abandoned me, and they burn incense to [honor] other gods. They have caused me to become very angry by [worshiping] the idols that they have made (OR, by all the wicked things that they have done), and my anger is like [MET] a fire that will not be put out.”
18 Králi pak Judskému, kterýž vás poslal, abyste se tázali Hospodina, takto povíte: Toto praví Hospodin Bůh Izraelský o slovích těch, kteráž jsi slyšel:
The king of Judah sent you to inquire what I, Yahweh, wanted you to do, so this is what you should say to him: “Because you have heeded what was written in the scroll,
19 Poněvadž obměkčeno jest srdce tvé, a ponížils se před tváří Hospodinovou, když jsi slyšel, které věci jsem mluvil proti místu tomuto, a proti obyvatelům jeho, že má přijíti v zpuštění a v zlořečení, a roztrhl jsi roucho své, a plakals přede mnou, i já také uslyšel jsem tě, praví Hospodin.
and you repented and humbled yourself when you heard what I said to warn you [about what would happen to] this city and the people who live here and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you. I said that I would cause this city to be abandoned. It will be a city whose name people will use when they curse someone. But I have heard what you prayed,
20 Protož, aj, já připojím tě k otcům tvým, a pochován budeš v hrobích svých v pokoji, aby neviděly oči tvé ničeho z toho zlého, kteréž přivedu na místo toto. I oznámili králi tu řeč.
so I will allow you to die [EUP] and be buried peacefully. I will cause the people who live here to experience a terrible disaster, but you will not [be alive to] see it.”’” After the men heard that, they returned to King Josiah and gave him that message.
