2 Chronicles 34
1 Josiah was eight when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for thirty-one years.
Jošiji je bilo osam godina kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je trideset i jednu godinu u Jeruzalemu.
2 He did what was right in the Lord's sight and followed the ways of his forefather David—he did not deviate to the right or to the left.
Činio je što je pravo u Jahvinim očima. U svemu je hodio putovima oca Davida, ne skrećući ni desno ni lijevo.
3 In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, Josiah began to publicly worship the God of David his forefather, and in the twelfth year of his reign he began to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem by removing the high places, the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the metal images.
Osme godine kraljevanja, dok još bijaše dječak, počeo je tražiti Boga oca Davida, a dvanaeste je godine stao čistiti Judeju i Jeruzalem od uzvišica, ašera, od rezanih i livenih likova.
4 He had the altars of Baal torn down in front of him, and the incense altars above them cut down. In addition, the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the metal images were smashed to pieces and scattered over the graves of those who had been sacrificing to them.
Pred njim su oborili žrtvenike Baalu, polomio je sunčane stupove koji bijahu na njima; izlomio je i satro ašere i rezane i livene likove, prosuo ih po grobovima onih što su im prinosili žrtve.
5 He burned the bones of the idolatrous priests on their altars. In this way he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
Svećeničke je kosti spalio na njihovim žrtvenicima i tako očistio Judeju i Jeruzalem.
6 Josiah repeated this in the towns of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, all the way to Naphtali, and in their surrounding areas.
Isto je učinio i po gradovima Manašeova, Efrajimova i Šimunova plemena, pa do Naftalijeva, po njihovim opustošenim mjestima unaokolo.
7 He tore down the altars and crushed the Asherah poles and the images to dust, and cut down all the incense altars across the whole land of Israel. Then he went back to Jerusalem.
Oborio je žrtvenike i ašere, raskovao i satro rezane likove i isjekao sve sunčane stupove po svoj zemlji izraelskoj, a onda se vratio u Jeruzalem.
8 In the eighteenth year of his reign, once he had finished cleansing the land and the Temple, Josiah sent Shaphan, son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the city governor, and Joah, son of Joahaz, the record-keeper, to repair the Temple of the Lord his God.
Osamnaeste godine kraljevanja, očistivši zemlju i Dom, posla Asalijahina sina Šafana, gradskoga upravitelja Maaseju, Johazova sina Joaha, tajnika, da poprave Dom Jahve, njegova Boga.
9 They went to Hilkiah the high priest and gave him the money that had been brought to God's Temple. The Levites at the entrances had collected this money from the people of Manasseh and Ephraim, from what was left of the people of Israel, as well as contributions from Judah, Benjamin, and the people of Jerusalem.
Oni su došli k velikom svećeniku Hilkiji i predali mu novce donesene u Božji Dom, koje bijahu sabrali leviti, čuvari hramskog praga, iz ruke Manašeovih i Efrajimovih sinova i od svega Izraelova Ostatka, od svega Judina i Benjaminova plemena, od jeruzalemskih stanovnika.
10 They handed it over to those who were supervising the repair work on Lord's Temple, who in turn paid the workmen doing the restoring and repairing.
Dali su to na ruku poslovođama, postavljenim nad Domom Jahvinim, a oni su izdavali poslenicima koji su radili u Domu Jahvinu, popravljajući što je bilo trošno i obnavljajući Hram.
11 They also paid carpenters and builders to buy cut stone, as well as timber for joists and beams for the buildings that the kings of Judah had let deteriorate.
Dali su drvodjeljama i graditeljima da kupuju tesanac i drvo za grede i da se pobrvnaju kuće koje bijahu porušili judejski kraljevi.
12 The men did good, honest work. In charge of them were Jahath and Obadiah, Levites from the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, Levites from the sons of the Kohathites. The Levites, all skilled musicians,
Ti su ljudi savjesno obavljali posao; nad njima su bili postavljeni Jahat i Obadja, leviti od Merarijevih sinova, i Zaharija i Mešulam od Kehatovih sinova da upravljaju radom. Svi su leviti bili vični glazbalima.
13 were in charge of the workmen and directed everyone involved, depending on what was required. Some of the Levites were scribes, some officers, and some gatekeepers.
Jedni su bili nad bremenošama i nadstojnicima svih poslenika u svakoj službi, a drugi su od levita bili pisari, nadzornici i vratari.
14 In the process of taking out the money donated to the Lord's Temple, Hilkiah the priest discovered the Book of the Lord's Law written down by Moses.
Kad su iznosili novce donesene u Jahvin Dom, našao je svećenik Hilkija Knjigu Zakona Jahvina, danu preko Mojsija.
15 Hilkiah told Shaphan the scribe, “I've found the Book of the Law in the Lord's Temple.” He gave it to Shaphan.
I, progovorivši, Hilkija reče tajniku Šafanu: “Našao sam Knjigu Zakona u Domu Jahvinu.” Hilkija dade knjigu Šafanu.
16 Shaphan took the book to the king and told him, “We your servants are doing everything we were instructed to do.
Šafan odnese knjigu kralju i izvjesti ga: “Tvoje sluge rade sve što im se povjerilo.
17 The money collected at the Lord's Temple has been handed over to those who are supervising the workers, paying them to do the repairs.”
Izasuvši novce što su se našli u Domu Jahvinu, dadoše ih na ruku poslovođama i poslenicima.”
18 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest gave me this book.” Shaphan read it to the king.
Tada tajnik Šafan javi kralju: “Svećenik Hilkija dade mi jednu knjigu.” I Šafan je poče čitati pred kraljem.
19 When the king heard what the Law said, he tore his clothes.
Čuvši riječi Zakona, kralj razdrije haljine svoje.
20 Then he issue the following orders to Hilkiah, Ahikam, son of Shaphan, Abdon, son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah, the king's assistant:
I naredi Hilkiji, Šafanovu sinu Ahikamu, Mikinu sinu Abdonu, tajniku Šafanu i kraljevu sluzi Asaji:
21 “Go and talk to the Lord for me, and also for those who still live in Israel and Judah, about what is said in the book that's been found. For the Lord must be really angry with us because our forefathers have not obeyed the Lord's instructions by following all that's written in this book.”
“Idite i upitajte Jahvu o meni i Ostatku Izraela i Judeje zbog ove knjige što je nađena, jer je velika Jahvina jarost što se izlila na nas zato što naši očevi nisu čuvali Jahvine riječi, nisu vršili što je pisano u knjizi.”
22 Hilkiah and those the king had selected went and talked with Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, custodian of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the city's second quarter.
Hilkija s kraljevim ljudima ode proročici Huldi, ženi Šaluma, Tokhatova sina, sina Hasre, čuvara odjeće; ona je živjela u Jeruzalemu, u novom gradu. Kad joj to kazaše,
23 Huldah told them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me,
ona im reče: “Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Kažite čovjeku koji vas je poslao k meni:
24 this is what the Lord says: I am about to bring disaster down on this place and on its people, in accordance with all the curses written in the book that has been read to the king of Judah.
Ovako veli Jahve: Evo, dovest ću nesreću na ovaj grad i na njegove stanovnike, izvršit ću sve kletve napisane u knjizi što je pročitaše pred judejskim kraljem.
25 They have abandoned me and offered sacrifices to other gods, making me angry by everything they've done. My anger will be poured out upon this place and will not be stopped.
Jer su me ostavili i kadili tuđim bogovima da bi me ljutili svim djelima ruku svojih, planut će jarost moja na to mjesto i neće se ugasiti.
26 But tell the king of Judah who sent you to ask the Lord, tell him this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: As for the what you heard read to you—
A judejskome kralju, koji vas je poslao po Jahvin savjet, recite ovo: Ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: Riječi si čuo.
27 because you were receptive and repentant before God when you heard his warnings against this place and against its people, and because you have repented, tearing your clothes and weeping before me, I have also heard you, declares the Lord.
Ali kako ti je omekšalo srce i jer si se ponizio pred Bogom čuvši što sam objavio tome gradu i njegovim stanovnicima, i ponizivši se preda mnom, razdro si haljine i plakao, zato sam te uslišio - riječ je Jahvina!
28 All this will not happen until after you have died, and you will die in peace. You will not see all the disaster that I'm going to bring down on this place and on its inhabitants.” They went back to the king and gave him her response.
Evo, sjedinit ću te s ocima tvojim i s mirom ćeš leći u grob da ne vidiš svu nesreću koju ću svaliti na ovo mjesto i njegove stanovnike.'” Oni odnesoše taj odgovor kralju.
29 Then the king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Tada posla kralj da se saberu sve judejske i jeruzalemske starješine.
30 He went to the Lord's Temple with all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, together with the priests and the Levites, all the people from the least to the greatest, and he read to them the whole Book of the Agreement that had been discovered in the Lord's Temple.
Kralj se potom pope u Dom Jahvin, sa svim Judejcima, Jeruzalemcima, svećenicima, levitima i sa svim narodom, od najvećega do najmanjeg. I pročita im sve riječi Knjige Saveza što je nađena u Domu Jahvinu.
31 The king stood by the pillar and made a solemn agreement before the Lord to follow him and to keep his commandments, laws, and regulations with total dedication, and to observe the requirements of the agreement as written in the book.
Kralj, stojeći na svome mjestu, obnovi pred Jahvom Savez da će slijediti Jahvu, držati se njegovih zapovijedi, pouka i uredaba svim srcem i svom dušom da bi izvršio sve stavke toga Saveza što su napisane u knjizi.
32 Then he had everyone present from Jerusalem and Benjamin stand up to show they agreed to it. So all the people of Jerusalem accepted and followed the agreement with God, the God of their forefathers.
I sve koji su se našli u Jeruzalemu i Benjaminovu plemenu pozva da pristupe; i Jeruzalemci prionuše uza Savez Boga, Boga svojih otaca.
33 Josiah demolished all the vile idols from the whole territory belonging to the Israelites, and he made everyone in Israel serve the Lord their God. During his reign they did not give up worshiping the Lord, the God of their fathers.
Tada Jošija ukloni sve gnusobe iz svih izraelskih krajeva i učini te svi koji su se našli u Izraelu počeše služiti Jahvi, svojem Bogu. Za svega njegova života nisu odstupili od Jahve, Boga svojih otaca.
