2 Chronicles 29
1 Hezekiah began to reign being twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Abijah, daughter of Zechariah.
Ezekiji je bilo dvadeset i pet godina kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je dvadeset i devet godina u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Abija, kći Zaharijina.
2 And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that David his father had done.
Činio je što je pravo u očima Jahvinim, sasvim kao i njegov otac David.
3 He, in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of Jehovah, and repaired them.
Prve godine prvoga mjeseca svojega kraljevanja otvorio je vrata Doma Jahvina i popravio ih.
4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them into the open place eastward;
Onda je pozvao svećenike i levite i, sabravši ih na istočni trg,
5 and he said to them, Hear me, ye Levites: hallow yourselves now, and hallow the house of Jehovah the God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the sanctuary.
rekao: “Čujte me, leviti! Sada se posvetite i posvetite Dom Jahve, Boga svojih otaca, i uklonite nečist iz Svetinje.
6 For our fathers have transgressed, and done evil in the sight of Jehovah our God, and have forsaken him and turned away their faces from the habitation of Jehovah, and have turned their backs.
Naši su se oci iznevjerili i radili što je zlo u očima Jahve, našega Boga. Ostavili su ga i odvratili lice od Jahvina Prebivališta, okrenuvši mu leđa.
7 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered up burnt-offerings in the sanctuary to the God of Israel.
Zatvorili su trijemska vrata i potrnuli svjetiljke; nisu kadili kadom niti su prinosili paljenice u Svetištu Izraelova Boga.
8 Therefore the wrath of Jehovah has been upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to vexation, to desolation, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
Zato se Jahve rasrdio na Judejce i na Jeruzalem te je dopustio da budu zlostavljeni i da budu na užas i ruglo, kako vidite svojim očima.
9 And behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
I očevi su nam, eto, pali od mača, a sinovi, kćeri i žene zato su nam u ropstvu.
10 Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Jehovah the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.
Sad sam, dakle, namislio u svom srcu sklopiti Savez s Jahvom, Izraelovim Bogom, da bi se odvratio od nas njegov jarosni gnjev.
11 My sons, be not now negligent; for Jehovah has chosen you to stand before him, to do service unto him, and to be his ministers and incense-burners.
Moja djeco, sad se nemojte lijeniti, jer vas je izabrao Jahve da stojite pred njim, da mu služite i da mu budete službenici i da mu kadite.”
12 Then the Levites rose up, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalleleel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;
Tada ustadoše leviti: Amasajev sin Mahat i Azarjin sin Joel od Kehatovih sinova; od Merarijevih sinova: Abdijev sin Kiš i Jehalelelov sin Azarja; od Geršonovaca: Zimin sin Joah i Joahov sin Eden;
13 and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeiel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
od Elisafanovih sinova: Šimri i Jeiel; od Asafovih sinova: Zaharija i Matanija;
14 and of the sons of Heman, Jehiel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
od Hemanovih sinova: Jehiel i Šimej; od Jedutunovih sinova: Šemaja i Uziel.
15 And they gathered their brethren, and hallowed themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king by the words of Jehovah, to cleanse the house of Jehovah.
Oni skupiše braću, posvetiše se i dođoše kako je bio zapovjedio kralj po Jahvinim riječima da očiste Jahvin Dom.
16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of Jehovah to cleanse it, and carried forth all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of Jehovah, into the court of the house of Jehovah. And the Levites took it to carry it forth into the brook Kidron.
Svećenici uđoše u Jahvin Dom da ga očiste. Počeli su svu nečist što su je našli u Jahvinu Hekalu iznositi u predvorje Jahvina Doma; leviti su je primali iznoseći je napolje na potok Kidron.
17 And they began on the first of the first month to hallow, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the porch of Jehovah; and they hallowed the house of Jehovah eight days; and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
Počeli su posvećivati prvoga dana prvoga mjeseca, a osmoga su dana istoga mjeseca ušli u Jahvin trijem; posvećivali su Jahvin Dom osam dana; šesnaestoga su dana prvoga mjeseca završili.
18 And they went in to king Hezekiah, and said, We have cleansed all the house of Jehovah, and the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the table of the [bread] to be set in rows, and all its vessels;
Onda su ušli kralju Ezekiji i rekli: “Očistili smo sav Jahvin Dom: žrtvenik za paljenice sa svim njegovim priborom, stol za prinesene kruhove sa svim njegovim priborom,
19 and all the vessels that king Ahaz in his reign cast away in his transgression have we prepared and hallowed, and behold, they are before the altar of Jehovah.
a sve posuđe koje bijaše zabacio kralj Ahaz za svojega kraljevanja i nevjere opet smo obnovili i posvetili; eno ga pred Jahvinim žrtvenikom.”
20 And Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the house of Jehovah.
Tada kralj Ezekija porani, skupi gradske knezove i ode u Jahvin Dom.
21 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he-goats for a sin-offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer [them] upon the altar of Jehovah.
Dovedoše sedam mladih junaca, sedam ovnova, sedam jaganjaca, sedam jaraca za okajnicu, za kraljevstvo i za Svetište i za Judu; on zapovjedi Aronovim sinovima svećenicima da ih prinesu za paljenicu na Jahvinu žrtveniku.
22 And they slaughtered the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar; and they slaughtered the rams, and sprinkled the blood on the altar; and they slaughtered the lambs, and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
Zaklavši goveda, svećenici uzeše krv i poškropiše žrtvenik; zaklaše ovnove i krvlju poškropiše žrtvenik, zaklaše jaganjce i krvlju poškropiše žrtvenik.
23 And they brought near the he-goats of the sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them.
Dovedoše jarce za okajnicu pred kralja i pred zbor te metnuše ruke na njih.
24 And the priests slaughtered them, and they made purification for sin with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel; because for all Israel, said the king, is the burnt-offering and the sin-offering.
Onda ih zaklaše svećenici i prinesoše kao okajnicu njihovu krv na žrtveniku da izvrše obred pomirenja za sav Izrael, jer kralj bijaše zapovjedio da se prinese paljenica i okajnica za sav Izrael.
25 And he set the Levites in the house of Jehovah with cymbals, with lutes, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of Jehovah through his prophets.
Postavio je u Jahvinu Domu levite s cimbalima, harfama i citrama, kako bijaše zapovjedio David, kraljev vidjelac Gad i prorok Natan, jer je od Jahve dolazila zapovijed po njegovim prorocima.
26 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
Tako su leviti stajali s Davidovim glazbalima, a svećenici s trubama.
27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer up the burnt-offering on the altar. And at the moment the burnt-offering began, the song of Jehovah began, and the trumpets, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel.
Tada Ezekija zapovjedi da prinesu paljenice na žrtveniku. Kad se stala prinositi paljenica, počela je Jahvina pjesma uz trube i uz glazbala izraelskoga kralja Davida.
28 And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded, all [the time] until the burnt-offering was finished.
Sav se zbor klanjao, pjevači pjevali, a trubači trubili, i to sve dok se nije svršila paljenica.
29 And when they had ended offering the burnt-offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves and worshipped.
Kad se svršilo prinošenje paljenice, kralj i svi koji bijahu s njim pobožno padoše na koljena i pokloniše se.
30 And king Hezekiah and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise to Jehovah with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and bowed their heads and worshipped.
Onda su kralj i knezovi zapovjedili levitima da hvale Jahvu riječima Davida i vidioca Asafa; oni su počeli hvaliti s najvećim veseljem i, pavši ničice, poklonili se.
31 And Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves to Jehovah, come near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart, burnt-offerings.
Tada Ezekija progovori: “Sada ste posvetili ruke Jahvi; pristupite i donesite klanice i zahvalnice u Dom Jahvin.” Sav je zbor donio klanice i zahvalnice. Tko je god bio spremna srca, prinio je paljenice.
32 And the number of the burnt-offerings, which the congregation brought, was seventy bullocks, a hundred rams, two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt-offering to Jehovah.
Paljenica što ih je donio zbor bijaše na broj: sedamdeset goveda, sto ovnova, dvjesta jaganjaca, sve za paljenice Jahvi.
33 And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
Ostalih posvećenih darova bilo je šest stotina goveda i tri tisuće grla sitne stoke.
34 Only the priests were too few, and they could not flay all the burnt-offerings; therefore their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was ended, and until the priests had hallowed themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to hallow themselves than the priests.
Ali je svećenika bilo premalo, tako da nisu mogli oderati svih paljenica; zato su im pomagala braća leviti, dok se nije svršio posao i dok se nisu posvetili drugi svećenici, jer su leviti bili gorljiviji srcem da se posvete nego svećenici.
35 And also the burnt-offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace-offerings, and with the drink-offerings for the burnt-offering. And the service of the house of Jehovah was set in order.
Bilo je i mnogo paljenica s pretilinom od pričesnica i s ljevanicama na paljenice. Tako se opet obnovila služba u Jahvinu Domu.
36 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people; for the thing was done suddenly.
I Ezekija se veselio, i sav narod s njime, što je Bog spremio narodu, jer se sve to iznenada dogodilo.
