2 Chronicles 35

1 Now Josiah kept the Passover to the Lord in Jerusalem, and it was immolated on the fourteenth day of the first month.

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

2 And he appointed the priests in their offices, and he exhorted them to minister in the house of the Lord.

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

3 Also, he spoke with the Levites, by whose instruction all of Israel was sanctified to the Lord, saying: “Place the ark in the sanctuary of the temple, which Solomon, the son of David, the king of Israel, built. For never again shall you carry it. Instead, now you shall minister to the Lord your God, and to 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 And prepare yourselves by your houses and families, within each division, just as David, the king of Israel, instructed, and just as his son Solomon has written.

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

5 And minister in the sanctuary, by the Levitical families and companies.

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

6 And having been sanctified, immolate the Passover. And then prepare your brothers, so that they may be able to act in accord with the words which the Lord has spoken by the hand of Moses.”

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

7 After this, Josiah gave to all the people, those who had been found there at the solemnity of the Passover, thirty thousand lambs and young goats from the flocks, and other kinds of small cattle, and also three thousand oxen. All these were from the substance of the king.

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 Also, his rulers offered what they had vowed freely, as much for the people as for the priests and Levites. Moreover, Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Jehiel, rulers of the house of the Lord, gave to the priests, in order to observe the Passover, two thousand six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.

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 And Conaniah, with Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, indeed also Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, rulers of the Levites, gave to the rest of the Levites, in order to celebrate the Passover, five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.

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 And the ministry was prepared. And the priests stood in their office, and the Levites also stood in their companies, according to the order of the king.

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

11 And the Passover was immolated. And the priests sprinkled the blood with their hand, and the Levites drew away the pelts of the holocausts.

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

12 And they put these aside, so that they might give them to each one, by their houses and families, and so that they might be offered to the Lord, just as it was written in the book of Moses. And with the oxen, they acted similarly.

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 And they roasted the Passover above fire, in accord with what was written in the law. Yet truly, the victims of peace offerings they boiled in cauldrons and kettles and pots. And they promptly distributed these to all the common 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 Then afterward, they made preparations for themselves and for the priests. Indeed, the priests had been occupied in the oblations of the holocausts and the fat offerings, even until night. Therefore, the Levites made preparations for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron, last.

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 Now the singers, the sons of Asaph, were standing in their order, according to the instruction of David, and of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the prophets of the king. Truly, the porters kept watch at each gate, so as not to depart from their ministry even for one moment. And for this reason, their brothers, the Levites, prepared foods 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 And so, the entire worship ritual of the Lord was completed on that day, so that they observed the Passover and offered holocausts upon the altar of the Lord, in accord with the precept 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 And the sons of Israel, who had been found there, kept the Passover at that time, with the solemnity 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 There was no Passover similar to this one in Israel, from the days of Samuel the prophet. And neither did anyone, out of all the kings of Israel, keep such a Passover as did Josiah, the priests and Levites, and all those of Judah and Israel who had been found, and the inhabitants 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 the reign of Josiah, this Passover was celebrated.

Osamnaeste godine carovanja Josijina praznovana bi ta pasha.

20 After Josiah had repaired the temple, Neco, the king of Egypt, ascended to fight at Carchemish, beside the Euphrates. And Josiah went out to meet him.

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

21 But he sent messengers to him, saying: “What is there between me and you, O king of Judah? I have not come against you today. Instead, I am fighting against another house, to which God instructed me to go promptly. Refrain from acting against God, who is with me, otherwise he may kill 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 was not willing to return. Instead, he prepared for war against him. Neither would he agree to the words of Neco from the mouth of God. In truth, he traveled so that he might do battle in the field 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 And there, having been wounded by archers, he said to his servants: “Lead me away from the battle. For I have been severely wounded.”

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

24 And they took him from the chariot, into another chariot which was following him, as was the custom of kings. And they transported him to Jerusalem. And he died, and he was buried in the mausoleum of his fathers. And all of 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 most of all Jeremiah. All the singing men and women repeat his lamentations over Josiah, even to the present day. And this has become like a law in Israel. Behold, it is found written in the Lamentations.

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 Now the rest of the words of Josiah, and his mercies, which were instructed by the law of the Lord,

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

27 and also his works, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

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