2 Chronicles 35

1 Then Josiah celebrated the Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem, and the Passover lamb was slaughtered on the fourteenth day of the first month.

I praznova Josija u Jerusalimu pashu Gospodu; i klaše pashu èetrnaestoga dana prvoga mjeseca.

2 He appointed the priests to their duties and encouraged them in the service of the house of the LORD.

I postavi sveštenike u službe njihove, i utvrdi ih da služe u domu Gospodnjem.

3 To the Levites who taught all Israel and were holy to the LORD, Josiah said: “Put the holy ark in the temple built by Solomon son of David king of Israel. It is not to be carried around on your shoulders. Now serve the LORD your God and His people Israel.

I reèe Levitima, koji uèahu vas narod Izrailjev i bijahu posveæeni Gospodu: namjestite sveti kovèeg u domu koji je sazidao Solomun sin Davidov car Izrailjev, ne treba više da ga nosite na ramenima; sada služite Gospodu Bogu svojemu i narodu njegovu Izrailju.

4 Prepare yourselves by families in your divisions, according to the instructions written by David king of Israel and Solomon his son.

I pripravite se po domovima otaca svojih po redovima svojim kako je naredio David car Izrailjev i Solomun sin njegov.

5 Moreover, stand in the Holy Place by the divisions of the families of your kinsmen the lay people, and by the divisions of the families of the Levites.

I stojte u svetinji po redovima domova otaèkih braæe svoje, sinova narodnijeh, i po redovima domova otaèkih meðu Levitima.

6 Slaughter the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves, and make preparations for your fellow countrymen to carry out the word of the LORD given by Moses.”

I tako zakoljite pashu, i osveštajte se i pripravite braæu svoju da bi èinili kako je rekao Gospod preko Mojsija.

7 From his own flocks and herds Josiah contributed 30,000 lambs and goats plus 3,000 bulls for the Passover offerings for all the people who were present.

I Josija dade narodu od stoke jaganjaca i jariæa, sve za pashu, svjema koji bijahu ondje, na broj dvije tisuæe i šest stotina, i tri tisuæe goveda, sve od careva blaga.

8 His officials also contributed willingly to the people and priests and Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the administrators of the house of God, gave the priests 2,600 Passover offerings and 300 bulls.

I knezovi njegovi dadoše dragovoljno narodu, sveštenicima i Levitima: Helkija i Zaharija i Jehilo starješine u domu Božijem dadoše sveštenicima za pashu dvije tisuæe i šest stotina jaganjaca i jariæa i tri stotine goveda.

9 Additionally, Conaniah and his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, as well as Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, officers of the Levites, donated to the Levites 5,000 Passover offerings and 500 bulls.

A Honanija i Semaja i Natanailo braæa njegova, i Asavija i Jeilo i Jozavad, poglavari Levitski dadoše Levitima za pashu pet tisuæa jaganjaca i jariæa, i pet stotina goveda.

10 So the service was prepared; the priests stood in their places and the Levites in their divisions according to the king’s command.

I kad bi spremljeno za službu, stadoše sveštenici na svoje mjesto i Leviti u redovima svojim po zapovijesti carevoj.

11 And they slaughtered the Passover lambs, while the priests sprinkled the blood handed to them and the Levites skinned the animals.

I klahu pashu, i sveštenici kropljahu krvlju primajuæi iz njihovijeh ruku, a Leviti derahu.

12 They set aside the burnt offerings to be given to the divisions of the families of the people to offer to the LORD, as is written in the Book of Moses; and they did the same with the bulls.

I odvojiše žrtvu paljenicu da dadu narodu po redovima domova otaèkih da se prinese Gospodu, kako je napisano u knjizi Mojsijevoj. Tako uèiniše i s govedima.

13 They roasted the Passover animals on the fire according to the regulation, and they boiled the other holy offerings in pots, kettles, and bowls and quickly brought them to all the people.

I pekoše pashu na ognju po obièaju; a druge posveæene stvari kuhaše u loncima i u kotlovima i u tavama, i razdavaše brzo svemu narodu.

14 Afterward, they made preparations for themselves and for the priests, since the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were offering up burnt offerings and fat until nightfall. So the Levites made preparations for themselves and for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.

Potom gotoviše sebi i sveštenicima; jer sveštenici sinovi Aronovi imahu posla oko žrtava paljenica i pretilina do noæi; zato Leviti gotoviše i sebi i sveštenicima sinovima Aronovijem.

15 The singers, the descendants of Asaph, were at their stations according to the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer. And the gatekeepers at each gate did not need to leave their position, because their fellow Levites made preparations for them.

I pjevaèi sinovi Asafovi stajahu na svom mjestu po zapovijesti Davidovoj i Asafovoj i Emanovoj i Jedutuna vidioca careva; i vratari na svakim vratima; ne micahu se od službe svoje, nego braæa njihova, ostali Leviti, gotoviše im.

16 So on that day the entire service of the LORD was carried out for celebrating the Passover and offering burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD, according to the command of King Josiah.

Tako bi ureðena sva služba Gospodnja u onaj dan da se proslavi pasha i prinesu žrtve paljenice na oltaru Gospodnjem po zapovijesti cara Josije.

17 The Israelites who were present also observed the Passover at that time, as well as the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days.

I praznovaše sinovi Izrailjevi koji se naðoše ondje pashu u to vrijeme i praznik prijesnijeh hljebova sedam dana.

18 No such Passover had been observed in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet. None of the kings of Israel ever observed a Passover like the one that Josiah observed with the priests, the Levites, all Judah, the Israelites who were present, and the people of Jerusalem.

I ne bi pasha praznovana kao ova u Izrailju od vremena Samuila proroka, niti koji careva Izrailjevijeh praznova pashu kao što je praznova Josija sa sveštenicima i Levitima i sa svijem Judom i Izrailjem što ga se naðe, i s Jerusalimljanima.

19 In the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign, this Passover was observed.

Osamnaeste godine carovanja Josijina praznovana bi ta pasha.

20 After all this, when Josiah had set the temple in order, Neco king of Egypt marched up to fight at Carchemish by the Euphrates, and Josiah went out to confront him.

Poslije svega toga, kad Josija uredi dom, doðe Nehaon car Misirski da bije Harkemis na Efratu, i Josija izide preda nj.

21 But Neco sent messengers to him, saying, “What is the issue between you and me, O king of Judah? I have not come against you today, but I am fighting another dynasty. God told me to hurry; so stop opposing God, who is with me, or He will destroy you!”

A on posla k njemu poslanike i poruèi: šta ja imam s tobom, care Judin? ne idem ja danas na tebe, nego na dom koji vojuje na mene, i Bog mi je zapovjedio da pohitam. Proði se Boga koji je sa mnom, da te ne ubije.

22 Josiah, however, did not turn away from him; instead, in order to engage him in battle, he disguised himself. He did not listen to Neco’s words from the mouth of God, but went to fight him on the Plain of Megiddo.

Ali se Josija ne odvrati od njega, nego se preobuèe da se bije s njim, i ne posluša rijeèi Nehaonovijeh iz usta Božjih, nego doðe da se pobije u polju Megidonskom.

23 There the archers shot King Josiah, who said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am badly wounded!”

I strijelci ustrijeliše cara Josiju, i car reèe slugama svojim: izvezite me odavde, jer sam ljuto ranjen.

24 So his servants took him out of his chariot, put him in his second chariot, and brought him to Jerusalem, where he died. And Josiah was buried in the tomb of his fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for him.

I skidoše ga sluge njegove s kola, i metnuše na druga kola koja imaše, i odvezoše ga u Jerusalim; i umrije, i bi pogreben u groblju otaca svojih. I sav Juda i Jerusalim plaka za Josijom.

25 Then Jeremiah lamented over Josiah, and to this day all the choirs of men and women sing laments over Josiah. They established them as a statute for Israel, and indeed they are written in the Book of Laments.

I prorok Jeremija narica za Josijom. I svi pjevaèi i pjevaèice spominjaše u tužbalicama svojim Josiju do današnjega dana, i uvedoše ih u obièaj u Izrailju, i eto napisane su u plaèu.

26 As for the rest of the acts of Josiah, along with his deeds of loving devotion according to what is written in the Law of the LORD—

A ostala djela Josijina i milostinje njegove, kako piše u zakonu Gospodnjem,

27 his acts from beginning to end—they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.

Djela njegova prva i pošljednja, eto zapisana su u knjizi o carevima Izrailjevijem i Judinijem.
