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.
Језекији беше двадесет и пет година кад поче царовати, и царова двадесет и девет година у Јерусалиму. Матери му беше име Авија, кћи Захаријина.
2 He did what was right in the Lord's sight, just as his forefather David had done.
И чињаше што је право пред Господом сасвим како је чинио Давид отац његов.
3 In the first month of the first year of his reign, Hezekiah opened the doors of the Lord's Temple and repaired them.
Прве године свог царовања, првог месеца, отвори врата на дому Господњем, и оправи их.
4 He summoned the priests and the Levites, and had them gather on the square to the east.
И сазва свештенике и Левите, и сабра их на источну улицу,
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.
И рече им: Чујте ме, Левити, освештајте се сада и осветите дом Господа Бога отаца својих, и изнесите нечистоту из светиње.
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.
Јер сагрешише оци наши и чинише што је зло пред Господом Богом нашим, и оставише га; и одвратише лице своје од шатора Господњег и окренуше му леђа;
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.
И затворише врата од трема, и погасише жишке, и кадом не кадише, нити жртава паљеница приносише у светињи Богу Израиљевом.
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.
Зато се разгневи Господ на Јуду и на Јерусалим, те их даде да се потуцају, и да буду чудо и подсмех, како видите својим очима.
9 As a result, our fathers have died in battle, and our sons and our daughters and our wives have been captured.
Јер, ето, падоше оци наши од мача, и синови наши и кћери наше и жене наше заробише се зато.
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.
Сада дакле наумио сам задати веру Господу Богу Израиљевом, да би се одвратила од нас жестина гнева Његовог.
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.”
Синови моји, не оклевајте више, јер је вас изабрао Господ да стојите пред Њим и служите му, и да му будете слуге и да му кадите.
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;
Тада усташе Левити Мат син Амасајев и Јоило син Азаријин од синова Катових; а од синова Мераријевих Кис син Авдијев и Азарија син Јалелеилов; и од синова Гирсонових Јоах син Зимин и Еден син Јоахов;
13 from the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeiel; and from the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
И од синова Елифасанових Симрије и Јеило, и од синова Асафових Захарија и Матанија;
14 from the sons of Heman, Jehiel and Shimei; and from the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
И од синова Амонових Јеило и Симеј, и од синова Једутунових Семаја и Озило;
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.
И скупише браћу своју, и освештавши се дођоше, како беше заповедио цар по речи Господњој, да очисте дом Господњи.
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.
И ушавши свештеници у дом Господњи да га очисте, износише сву нечистоту што нађоше у цркви Господњој у трем дома Господњег; а Левити купише и износише напоље на поток Кедрон.
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.
А почеше освећивати првог дана првог месеца; а осмог дана тог месеца уђоше у трем Господњи, и освећиваше дом Господњи осам дана, и шеснаестог дана првог месеца свршише.
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.
Потом дођоше к цару Језекији и рекоше: Очистисмо сав дом Господњи и олтар за жртве паљенице и све судове његове и сто за постављање и све судове његове,
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.”
И све судове које беше бацио цар Ахаз докле цароваше грешећи, и спремисмо и осветисмо, и ено их пред олтаром Господњим.
20 King Hezekiah got up early, summoned the city officials, and went to the Lord's Temple.
Потом цар Језекија уста рано, и сазва управитеље градске, и отиде у дом Господњи.
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.
И доведе седам јуница и седам овнова и седам јагањаца и седам јараца за грех, за царство и за светињу и за Јуду; и рече синовима Ароновим свештеницима да принесу на олтару Господњем.
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.
Тада заклаше говеда, и свештеници узевши крв њихову покропише олтар; заклаше и овнове, и крвљу њиховом покропише олтар; и заклаше јагањце и крвљу њиховом покропише олтар.
23 Then they brought the goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly, who placed their hands on them.
Потом доведоше јарце за грех пред цара и пред збор, и они метнуше руке своје на њих.
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.
И заклаше их свештеници, и очистише крвљу њиховом олтар на очишћење свему Израиљу, јер цар заповеди да се за сав народ Израиљев принесе жртва паљеница и жртва за грех.
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.
И постави Левите у дому Господњем с кимвалима и псалтирима и гуслама, како беше заповедио Давид и Гад виделац царев и Натан пророк; јер од Господа беше заповест преко пророка Његових.
26 The Levites stood with the musical instruments provided by David, with the priests holding their trumpets.
И тако стајаху Левити са справама Давидовим а свештеници с трубама.
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.
Тада заповеди Језекија да принесу жртву паљеницу на олтару. И кад се поче жртва паљеница, поче се песма Господња уз трубе и справе Давида, цара Израиљевог.
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.
И сав се збор клањаше, и певачи певаху и трубачи трубљаху, и то све докле се не сврши жртва паљеница.
29 Once the offerings were completed, the king and everyone there with him bowed down and worshiped.
А кад свршише жртву, цар и сви који беху с њим падоше и поклонише се.
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.
Потом рече цар и кнезови Левитима да хвале Господа речима Давидовим и Асафа видеоца; и хвалише с великим весељем, и савивши се поклонише се.
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.
Тада Језекија проговори и рече: Сада посветисте руке своје Господу, приступите и донесите приносе и жртве захвалне у дом Господњи. И донесе сав збор приносе и жртве захвалне, и ко год беше вољног срца жртве паљенице.
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.
И на број беше жртава паљеница што донесе збор, седамдесет волова, сто овнова, двеста јагањаца, све за жртву паљеницу Господу;
33 In addition there were dedicated offerings of six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep.
А других ствари посвећених беше шест стотина волова и три хиљаде оваца.
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.)
Али мало беше свештеника, те не могаху драти свих жртава паљеница; зато им помагаху браћа њихова Левити, докле се не сврши посао и докле се не освешташе други свештеници; јер Левити беху радији освештати се него свештеници.
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.
И беше врло много жртава паљеница с претилином од жртава захвалних и налива на жртве паљенице. Тако би повраћена служба у дому Господњем.
36 Hezekiah and everyone there were so happy at what God done for the people, because everything had been achieved so quickly.
И радоваше се Језекија и сав народ, што Бог управи народ, јер ово би нагло.
