2 Chronicles 29
1 Hezekiah was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years. His mother's name was Abijah, the 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 He did what was right in the Lord's sight, just as his forefather David had done.
Činio je što je pravo u očima Jahvinim, sasvim kao i njegov otac David.
3 In the first month of the first year of his reign, Hezekiah opened the doors of the Lord's Temple and repaired them.
Prve godine prvoga mjeseca svojega kraljevanja otvorio je vrata Doma Jahvina i popravio ih.
4 He summoned the priests and the Levites, and had them gather on the square to the east.
Onda je pozvao svećenike i levite i, sabravši ih na istočni trg,
5 He told them, “Listen to me, Levites. Purify yourselves now and purify the Temple of the Lord, the God of your forefathers. Take away from the Holy Place everything that is filthy.
rekao: “Čujte me, leviti! Sada se posvetite i posvetite Dom Jahve, Boga svojih otaca, i uklonite nečist iz Svetinje.
6 For our fathers were sinful, and did what was evil in the Lord's sight. They abandoned him and paid no attention to the Lord's Temple, turning their backs on him.
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 They shut the doors at the entrance to the Temple and put out the lamps. They didn't burn incense or present burnt offerings at the sanctuary of the God of Israel.
Zatvorili su trijemska vrata i potrnuli svjetiljke; nisu kadili kadom niti su prinosili paljenice u Svetištu Izraelova Boga.
8 So the Lord's anger fell on Judah and Jerusalem, and he made them into something appalling, terrifying, and ridiculous, as you can see for yourselves.
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 As a result, our fathers have died in battle, and our sons and our daughters and our wives have been captured.
I očevi su nam, eto, pali od mača, a sinovi, kćeri i žene zato su nam u ropstvu.
10 But now I'm going to make an agreement with the Lord, the God of Israel, so that his fierce anger will no longer fall on 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, don't neglect your responsibilities, for the Lord has chosen you to stand in his presence to serve him, and to be his ministers presenting burnt offerings.”
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 went to work. They were Mahath, son of Amasai, and Joel, son of Azariah, from the Kohathites; Kish, son of Abdi, and Azariah, son of Jehallelel, from the Merarites; Joah, son of Zimmah, and Eden, son of Joah, from the Gershonites;
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 from the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeiel; and from the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
od Elisafanovih sinova: Šimri i Jeiel; od Asafovih sinova: Zaharija i Matanija;
14 from the sons of Heman, Jehiel and Shimei; and from the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
od Hemanovih sinova: Jehiel i Šimej; od Jedutunovih sinova: Šemaja i Uziel.
15 They called together the other Levites and all of them purified themselves. Then they went in to clean the Lord's Temple, as the king had commanded, following the instructions as required by the Lord.
Oni skupiše braću, posvetiše se i dođoše kako je bio zapovjedio kralj po Jahvinim riječima da očiste Jahvin Dom.
16 The priests went into the inner sanctuary of the Lord's Temple to clean it. They removed all the unclean things that they found in the Lord's Temple and placed them in the Temple courtyard. Then the Levites took them out and carried them to the Kidron Valley.
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 They started the work of purification on the first day of the first month, and by the eighth day of the month they had reached the Temple porch. For eight more days they worked on purifying the Temple itself, and finished on the sixteenth day of the first month.
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 Then they went in to tell King Hezekiah, “We have cleaned the entire Temple of the Lord, the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the table of the showbread with all its utensils.
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 We have recovered and purified all the items that King Ahaz threw away during his reign when he was unfaithful. They are now before the Lord's altar.”
a sve posuđe koje bijaše zabacio kralj Ahaz za svojega kraljevanja i nevjere opet smo obnovili i posvetili; eno ga pred Jahvinim žrtvenikom.”
20 King Hezekiah got up early, summoned the city officials, and went to the Lord's Temple.
Tada kralj Ezekija porani, skupi gradske knezove i ode u Jahvin Dom.
21 They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven male lambs, and seven male goats as a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. The king ordered the priests, the descendants of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the Lord.
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 So they killed the bulls, and the priests took the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. They killed the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar. They killed 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 Then they brought the goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly, who placed their hands on them.
Dovedoše jarce za okajnicu pred kralja i pred zbor te metnuše ruke na njih.
24 Then the priests killed the goats and placed their blood on the altar for a sin offering, to make atonement for the whole of Israel, because the king had ordered that the burnt offering and sin offering were for the whole of Israel.
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 Hezekiah had the Levites stand in the Lord's Temple with cymbals, harps, and lyres, following the instructions of David, Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet. The instructions had come from the Lord 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 The Levites stood with the musical instruments provided by David, with the priests holding their trumpets.
Tako su leviti stajali s Davidovim glazbalima, a svećenici s trubama.
27 Then Hezekiah gave the order for the burnt offering to be offered on the altar. As the burnt offering began, the song of the Lord began at the same time, the trumpets sounded, and music was played on the instruments of David, once 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 All the people in the assembly were worshiping, the singers were singing, and the trumpeters were playing. This continued until the burnt offering was finished.
Sav se zbor klanjao, pjevači pjevali, a trubači trubili, i to sve dok se nije svršila paljenica.
29 Once the offerings were completed, the king and everyone there with him bowed down and worshiped.
Kad se svršilo prinošenje paljenice, kralj i svi koji bijahu s njim pobožno padoše na koljena i pokloniše se.
30 Then King Hezekiah and his officials ordered the Levites to sing praises to the Lord using the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with joy, and bowed their heads and worshiped.
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 Then Hezekiah told them, “Now that you have dedicated yourselves to the Lord, come and bring your sacrifices and thank offerings to the Lord's Temple.” So the people in the assembly brought their sacrifices and thank offerings, and everyone who wanted to brought 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 The total number of burnt offerings they brought was seventy bulls, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were to be a burnt offering to the Lord.
Paljenica što ih je donio zbor bijaše na broj: sedamdeset goveda, sto ovnova, dvjesta jaganjaca, sve za paljenice Jahvi.
33 In addition there were dedicated offerings of six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep.
Ostalih posvećenih darova bilo je šest stotina goveda i tri tisuće grla sitne stoke.
34 Since there weren't enough priests to skin all the burnt offerings, their Levite relatives helped them until the work was finished and the priests had been purified. (The Levites had been more conscientious in purifying themselves than the priests had.)
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 Apart from the large number of burnt offerings, there was the fat of the friendship offerings, as well as the drink offerings that went with the burnt offerings. In this way the service of the Lord's Temple was restored.
Bilo je i mnogo paljenica s pretilinom od pričesnica i s ljevanicama na paljenice. Tako se opet obnovila služba u Jahvinu Domu.
36 Hezekiah and everyone there were so happy at what God done for the people, because everything had been achieved so quickly.
I Ezekija se veselio, i sav narod s njime, što je Bog spremio narodu, jer se sve to iznenada dogodilo.
