2 Chronicles 30
1 Then Hezekiah sent word to all Israel and Judah, and sent letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, requesting them to come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel.
Ezekíja je poslal k vsemu Izraelu in Judu in napisal tudi pisma Efrájimu in Manáseju, da naj pridejo h Gospodovi hiši v Jeruzalemu, da praznujejo pasho Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu.
2 For the king, after discussion with his chiefs and all the body of the people in Jerusalem, had made a decision to keep the Passover in the second month.
Kajti kralj je sprejel nasvet in njegovi princi in vsa skupnost v Jeruzalemu, da v drugem mesecu praznujejo pasho.
3 It was not possible to keep it at that time, because not enough priests had made themselves holy, and the people had not come together in Jerusalem.
Kajti niso je mogli imeti ob tistem času, ker se duhovniki niso zadosti posvetili niti se ljudstvo ni zbralo skupaj k Jeruzalemu.
4 And the thing was right in the eyes of the king and all the people.
Stvar je ugajala kralju in vsej skupnosti.
5 So it was ordered that word was to be sent out through all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, that they were to come to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: because they had not kept it in great numbers in agreement with the law.
Tako so potrdili odlok, da ga razglasijo po vsem Izraelu, od Beeršébe, celo do Dana, da bi prišli praznovat pasho Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu, v Jeruzalemu, kajti že dolgo časa tega niso storili na takšen način, kot je bilo to napisano.
6 So runners went with letters from the king and his chiefs through all Israel and Judah, by the order of the king, saying, O children of Israel, come back again to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that he may come again to that small band of you which has been kept safe out of the hands of the kings of Assyria.
Tako so tekači odšli s pismi kralja in njegovih princev po vsem Izraelu in Judu in glede na kraljevo zapoved, rekoč: »Vi, Izraelovi otroci, se ponovno obrnite h Gospodu, Bogu Abrahama, Izaka in Izraela in on se bo obrnil k preostanku izmed vas, ki ste pobegnili iz roke asirskih kraljev.
7 Do not be like your fathers and your brothers, who were sinners against the Lord, the God of their fathers, so that he made them a cause of fear, as you see.
Vi pa ne bodite podobni svojim očetom in svojim bratim, ki so grešili zoper Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov, ki jih je zato izročil v opustošenje, kakor vidite.
8 Now do not be hard-hearted, as your fathers were; but give yourselves to the Lord, and come into his holy place, which he has made his for ever, and be the servants of the Lord your God, so that the heat of his wrath may be turned away from you.
Torej ne bodite trdovratni, kakor so bili vaši očetje, temveč se uklonite Gospodu in vstopite v njegovo svetišče, ki ga je posvetil na veke, in služite Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, da se okrutnost njegovega besa lahko odvrne od vas.
9 For if you come back to the Lord, those who took away your brothers and your children will have pity on them, and let them come back to this land: for the Lord your God is full of grace and mercy, and his face will not be turned away from you if you come back to him.
Kajti če se ponovno obrnete h Gospodu, bodo vaši bratje in vaši otroci našli sočutje pred tistimi, ki jih vodijo ujete, tako da se bodo ponovno vrnili v to deželo, kajti Gospod, vaš Bog, je usmiljen in milostljiv in svojega obraza ne bo odvrnil od vas, če se vi vrnete k njemu.
10 So the runners went from town to town through all the country of Ephraim and Manasseh as far as Zebulun: but they were laughed at and made sport of.
Tako je pošta šla od mesta do mesta po vsej deželi, od Efrájima in Manáseja, celo do Zábulona, toda smejali so se jim do norčevanja in jih zasmehovali.
11 However, some of Asher and Manasseh and Zebulun put away their pride and came to Jerusalem.
Kljub temu so se številni izmed Aserja, Manáseja in Zábulona ponižali in prišli v Jeruzalem.
12 And in Judah the power of God gave them one heart to do the orders of the king and the captains, which were taken as the word of the Lord.
Tudi v Judu je bila Božja roka, da jim da eno srce, da po Gospodovi besedi storijo zapoved kralja in princev.
13 So a very great number of people came together at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month.
V Jeruzalemu se je zbralo mnogo ljudstva, zelo velika skupnost, da bi v drugem mesecu praznovali praznik nekvašenega kruha.
14 And they got to work and took away all the altars in Jerusalem, and they put all the vessels for burning perfumes into the stream Kidron.
Vzdignili so se in odnesli oltarje, ki so bili v Jeruzalemu in vse kadilne oltarje so odnesli proč in jih vrgli v potok Kidron.
15 Then on the fourteenth day of the second month they put the Passover lambs to death: and the priests and the Levites were shamed, and made themselves holy and took burned offerings into the house of the Lord.
Potem so na štirinajsti dan drugega meseca zaklali pasho. Duhovniki in Lévijevci so bili osramočeni in se posvetili in prinesli so žgalne daritve v Gospodovo hišo.
16 And they took their places in their right order, as it was ordered in the law of Moses, the man of God: the priests draining out on the altar the blood given them by the Levites.
Stali so na svojem mestu, po njihovem običaju, glede na postavo Mojzesa, Božjega moža. Duhovniki so poškropili kri, ki so jo prejeli iz rok Lévijevcev.
17 For there were still a number of the people there who had not made themselves holy: so the Levites had to put Passover lambs to death for those who were not clean, to make them holy to the Lord.
Kajti v skupnosti so bili številni, ki niso bili posvečeni, zato so bili Lévijevci zadolženi za zakol pashe za vsakogar, ki ni bil čist, da jih posvetijo Gospodu.
18 For a great number of the people from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not made themselves clean, but they took the Passover meal, though not in the right way. For Hezekiah had made prayer for them, saying, May the good Lord have mercy on everyone
Kajti množica ljudstva, celó številni izmed Efrájima, Manáseja, Isahárja in Zábulona se niso očistili, vendar so jedli pasho drugače, kot je bilo napisano. Toda Ezekíja je molil zanje, rekoč: »Dobri Gospod naj odpusti vsakomur,
19 Who, with all his heart, is turned to God the Lord, the God of his fathers, even if he has not been made clean after the rules of the holy place.
ki pripravlja svoje srce, da išče Boga, Gospoda Boga svojih očetov, čeprav ni očiščen glede na očiščevanje svetišča.«
20 And the Lord gave ear to Hezekiah, and made the people well.
Gospod je prisluhnil Ezekíju ter ozdravil ljudstvo.
21 So the children of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread for seven days with great joy: and the Levites and the priests gave praise to the Lord day by day, making melody to the Lord with loud instruments.
Izraelovi otroci, ki so bili prisotni v Jeruzalemu, so z velikim veseljem sedem dni imeli praznik nekvašenega kruha. Lévijevci in duhovniki so dan za dnem hvalili Gospoda, pojoč Gospodu z glasnimi glasbili.
22 And Hezekiah said kind words to the Levites who were expert in the ordering of the worship of the Lord: so they kept the feast for seven days, offering peace-offerings and praising the Lord, the God of their fathers.
Ezekíja je tolažilno govoril vsem Lévijevcem, ki so učili dobrega Gospodovega spoznanja. Jedli so vseh sedem prazničnih dni, žrtvovali mirovne daritve in delali priznanje Gospodu, Bogu svojih očetov.
23 And by the desire of all the people, the feast went on for another seven days, and they kept the seven days with joy.
Celoten zbor se je posvetoval, da praznuje [še] drugih sedem dni. In z veseljem so praznovali [še] drugih sedem dni.
24 For Hezekiah, king of Judah, gave to the people for offerings, a thousand oxen and seven thousand sheep; and the rulers gave a thousand oxen and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests made themselves holy.
Kajti Judov kralj Ezekíja je dal skupnosti tisoč bikcev in sedem tisoč ovc, in princi so dali skupnosti tisoč bikcev in deset tisoč ovc. In veliko število duhovnikov se je posvetilo.
25 And all the people of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and those who had come from Israel, and men from other lands who had come from Israel or who were living in Judah, were glad with great joy.
Vsa Judova skupnost, z duhovniki in Lévijevci in ves zbor, ki je prišel iz Izraela in tujci, ki so prišli iz Izraelove dežele in tisti, ki so prebivali v Judu, so se veselili.
26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for nothing like this had been seen in Jerusalem from the time of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.
Tako je bila v Jeruzalemu velika radost, kajti od časa Salomona, Davidovega sina, Izraelovega kralja, ni bilo v Jeruzalemu ničesar podobnega.
27 Then the priests and the Levites gave the people a blessing: and the voice of their prayer went up to the holy place of God in heaven.
Potem so duhovniki, Lévijevci, vstali, blagoslovili ljudstvo in njihov glas je bil slišan in njihova molitev je prišla gor do njegovega svetega prebivališča, celó do nebes.
