2 Chronicles 30
1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, to hold the passover to Jehovah 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 And the king took counsel, and his princes, and the whole congregation in Jerusalem, to hold 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 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not hallowed themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people been gathered together to 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 pleased the king and the whole congregation.
Stvar je ugajala kralju in vsej skupnosti.
5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to hold the passover to Jehovah the God of Israel, at Jerusalem; because they had not held it for a long time as it was written.
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 And the couriers went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, return to Jehovah the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you that are escaped out of the hand 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 And be not like your fathers and like your brethren, who transgressed against Jehovah the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as ye 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, harden not your necks, as your fathers; yield yourselves to Jehovah, and come to his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever; and serve Jehovah your God, that the fierceness of his anger may turn 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 ye return to Jehovah, your brethren and your children shall find compassion with those that have carried them captive, so that they shall come again unto this land; for Jehovah your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return 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 And the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun; but they laughed them to scorn and mocked them.
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 Nevertheless certain of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
Kljub temu so se številni izmed Aserja, Manáseja in Zábulona ponižali in prišli v Jeruzalem.
12 The hand of God was also upon Judah to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of Jehovah.
Tudi v Judu je bila Božja roka, da jim da eno srce, da po Gospodovi besedi storijo zapoved kralja in princev.
13 And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to hold the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
V Jeruzalemu se je zbralo mnogo ljudstva, zelo velika skupnost, da bi v drugem mesecu praznovali praznik nekvašenega kruha.
14 And they rose up and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem; and they took away all the incense-altars, and cast them into the torrent 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 And they slaughtered the passover on the fourteenth of the second month; and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and hallowed themselves; and they brought the burnt-offerings into the house of Jehovah.
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 stood in their place after their custom, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood [receiving it] from the hand of 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 many in the congregation that were not hallowed; therefore the Levites had the charge of the slaughtering of the passover-lambs for every one not clean, to hallow them unto Jehovah.
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 multitude of the people, many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, and they ate the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them saying, Jehovah, who is good, forgive every one
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 that has directed his heart to seek God, Jehovah the God of his fathers, although not according to the purification of the sanctuary.
ki pripravlja svoje srce, da išče Boga, Gospoda Boga svojih očetov, čeprav ni očiščen glede na očiščevanje svetišča.«
20 And Jehovah hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
Gospod je prisluhnil Ezekíju ter ozdravil ljudstvo.
21 And the children of Israel, that were present at Jerusalem, held the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised Jehovah day by day, with the instruments of praise to Jehovah.
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 spoke consolingly to all the Levites that had understanding in the good knowledge of Jehovah; and they ate the feast-offerings the seven days, sacrificing peace-offerings, and extolling Jehovah 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 the whole congregation took counsel to observe other seven days; and they observed the seven days with gladness.
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 congregation as heave-offering: a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests hallowed themselves.
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 the whole congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
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 And there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, there had not been the like in Jerusalem.
Tako je bila v Jeruzalemu velika radost, kajti od časa Salomona, Davidovega sina, Izraelovega kralja, ni bilo v Jeruzalemu ničesar podobnega.
27 And the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people; and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, to the heavens.
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.
