< 2 Kings 23 >

1 Then the king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Tada kralj posla da se saberu kod njega sve judejske i jeruzalemske starješine.
2 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 potom uzađe u Dom Jahvin s Judejcima, Jeruzalemcima, svećenicima i prorocima i sa svim narodom, od najmanjega do najvećega. I pročita im sve riječi Knjige Saveza koja je nađena u Domu Jahvinu.
3 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. All the people entered into the agreement.
Kralj, stojeći na svome mjestu, obnovi pred Jahvom Savez da će slijediti Jahvu i držati se njegovih zapovijedi, pouka i uredaba svim srcem i svom dušom da bi ispunio sve stavke toga Saveza zapisane u ovoj knjizi. Sav je narod stupio u Savez.
4 Then the king ordered Hilkiah the high priest, the priests of second rank, and the doorkeepers to remove from the Lord's Temple everything made for Baal, Asherah, and the worship of sun, moon, and stars. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the Kidron fields and took their ashes to Bethel.
Kralj je zapovjedio velikom svećeniku Hilkiji, svećenicima drugog reda i čuvarima hramskog praga da iz Svetišta Jahvina iznesu sve bogoslužne predmete što bijahu načinjeni za Baala, za Ašeru i za svu nebesku vojsku. Odredio je da sve to spale izvan Jeruzalema u poljima kidronskim, a pepeo je odnio u Betel.
5 He also dismissed the priests appointed by the kings of Judah to present burnt offerings on the high places of the towns of Judah and in the places all around Jerusalem, those who had sacrificed to Baal, to the sun and moon, to the constellations, and to all the powers of heaven.
Uklonio je lažne svećenike koje su judejski kraljevi postavili da pale kad na uzvišicama, u gradovima judejskim i u okolici Jeruzalema; i one koji su palili kad Baalu, suncu, mjesecu, zvijezdama i svoj vojsci nebeskoj.
6 He removed the Asherah pole from the Lord's Temple and took it to the Kidron Valley outside Jerusalem. He burned it there, ground it into dust, and threw its dust over the graves of the ordinary people.
Izvan Jeruzalema iznio je iz Doma Jahvina, u dolinu kidronsku, Ašeru i spalio ju je u dolini kidronskoj, satro u prah, a prah bacio na groblje sinova pučkih.
7 He also demolished the quarters of the cult prostitutes that were in the Lord's Temple, where the women used to weave tapestries for the Asherah.
Razorio je stanove posvećenih bludnica koji su bili u Domu Jahvinu i u kojima su žene tkale haljine Ašeri.
8 Josiah brought to Jerusalem all the priests from the towns of Judah and defiled the high places, from Geba to Beersheba, where the priests had sacrificed burnt offerings. He demolished the high places of the gates, near to the entrance of the gate of Joshua, the governor of the city, which was left of the town gate.
Iz svih judejskih gradova doveo je svećenike i oskvrnuo je uzvišice gdje su ti svećenici prinosili kad, od Gebe do Beer Šebe. Zatim je srušio uzvišice pred vratima, one koje su bile na ulazu vrata Jošue, upravitelja grada, nalijevo kad se prilazi gradskim vratima.
9 Though the priests of the high places did not serve at the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, they did eat unleavened bread with their brother priests.
Isto tako svećenici uzvišica nisu mogli uzlaziti žrtveniku Jahvinu u Jeruzalemu, ali su jeli kruhove bez kvasa među svojom braćom.
10 He defiled the Topheth altar in the Valley of Ben-hinnom so that no one could sacrifice his son or daughter in the fire to Molech.
Oskvrnio je Tofet u dolini Ben Hinom, kako nitko ne bi svoga sina ili kćerku provodio kroz oganj u čast Moleku.
11 He removed the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun from the entrance to the Lord's Temple. They were in the courtyard near the room of a eunuch named Nathan-melech. Josiah also burned the chariots dedicated to the sun.
Razagnao je konje koje su judejski kraljevi prinijeli suncu na ulazu u Dom Jahvin, kraj sobe dvoranina Netan Meleka, koja se nalazila u blizini, i spalio je u ognju sunčana kola.
12 He demolished the altars that the kings of Judah had set up on the roof near the upper chamber of Ahaz, and the altars Manasseh had placed in the two courtyards of the Lord's Temple. The king smashed them to pieces and scattered them in the Kidron Valley.
Žrtvenike na krovu koje bijahu sagradili judejski kraljevi i one koje je sagradio Manaše u oba predvorja Hrama Jahvina, kralj je srušio, uklonio ih odatle i bacio njihov prah u dolinu kidronsku.
13 The king also defiled the high places to the east of Jerusalem, to the south of the Mount of Corruption, the places which King Solomon of Israel had built for Ashtoreth, the vile goddess of the Sidonians, for Chemosh, the vile god of the Moabites, and for Molech, the vile god of the Ammonites.
Uzvišice koje su bile sučelice Jeruzalemu, na južnom dijelu Maslinske gore, i koje je izraelski kralj Salomon bio sagradio Aštarti, sramoti sidonskoj, Kemošu, sramoti moapskoj, i Milkomu, nakazi amonskoj - sve ih je kralj oskvrnio.
14 He smashed the sacred stone pillars to pieces, chopped down the Asherah poles, and covered the places with human bones.
Razbio je stupove, iskorijenio ašere i njihova je mjesta ispunio ljudskim kostima.
15 He also demolished the altar at Bethel, the high place set up by Jeroboam, son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin. Then he burned the high place, ground it to dust, and burned the Asherah pole.
Isto tako i žrtvenik u Betelu, uzvišicu koju je sagradio Jeroboam, sin Nebatov, koji je naveo Izraela na grijeh, kralj je srušio, oborio žrtvenik i tu uzvišicu, satro kamenje u prah, spalio ašere.
16 As Josiah looked around he saw some tombs there on the hill. He had the bones taken from the tombs, and he burned them on the altar to defile it, just as the Lord had said through the man of God who had prophesied these things.
A kad se Jošija okrenuo i vidio grobove koji bijahu ondje na gori, posla da se sakupe kosti iz onih grobova i spali ih na žrtveniku. Tako ga je oskvrnuo, izvršavajući riječ Jahvinu, koju je objavio čovjek Božji (dok je Jeroboam bio na žrtveniku za vrijeme svečanosti). Okrenuvši se, Jošija baci oči na grob čovjeka Božjeg koji je objavio sve to
17 Then he asked, “Whose gravestone is this that I see?” “It's the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed exactly what you have done to the altar of Bethel,” the townspeople replied.
i upita: “Kakav je ono spomenik što ga vidim?” Ljudi iz grada odgovoriše mu: “To je grob čovjeka Božjeg koji je došao iz Judeje i koji je prorekao sve ovo što si ti učinio s betelskim žrtvenikom.”
18 “Let him rest in peace,” said Josiah. “Don't anyone touch his bones.” So they left his bones undisturbed, together with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria.
“Pustite ga na miru”, reče kralj, “i neka nitko ne dira njegove kosti.” Tako su ostale njegove kosti netaknute s kostima proroka koji je došao iz Samarije.
19 Josiah destroyed, just as he did at Bethel, all the shrines of the high places in the towns of Samaria that the kings of Israel had built that had angered the Lord.
Jošija je jednako razorio sve hramove uzvišica koje su izraelski kraljevi sagradili po gradovima Samarije da bi srdili Jahvu i učinio je s njima kao što je učinio u Betelu.
20 Josiah slaughtered all the priests who were there at the high places on the altars, and burned human bones on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
Sve svećenike uzvišica poklao je na žrtvenicima; na njima je spalio i ljudske kosti. Potom se vratio u Jeruzalem.
21 The king sent out an order to all the people, “Observe the Passover of the Lord your God, as it is written in this Book of the Agreement.”
Kralj naredi svemu narodu: “Svetkujte Pashu u čast Jahve, Boga svoga, po običaju koji je zapisan u ovoj Knjizi Saveza.”
22 Such a Passover as this had not been observed from the days of the judges who ruled Israel on through all the days of the kings of Israel and Judah.
Takva se Pasha nije svetkovala od vremena sudaca koji su sudili Izraelu i za sve vrijeme kraljeva izraelskih i judejskih.
23 But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was observed to honor the Lord in Jerusalem.
Samo je osamnaeste godine kraljevanja Jošijina svetkovana takva Pasha u čast Jahve, u Jeruzalemu.
24 In addition, Josiah got rid of the mediums and spiritists, the household gods and idols, and all the disgusting practices that were present in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. He did this to fulfill the words of the law written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had found in the Lord's Temple.
Osim toga, sve bajače i sve vračare, sve kućne bogove i idole i sve sramote koje se mogu vidjeti u zemlji judejskoj i Jeruzalemu - sve je to Jošija uklonio da izvrši riječi Zakona, zapisane u knjizi koju je našao Hilkija, svećenik Doma Jahvina.
25 Never before was there a king like him who committed himself to the Lord in all his thoughts and attitudes, and with all his strength, keeping all the Law of Moses. There was no king like him afterwards either.
Nije bilo prije njega takva kralja koji se obratio Jahvi svim srcem svojim, svom dušom svojom i svom snagom svojom, u svemu vjeran Zakonu Mojsijevu, a ni poslije njega nije mu bilo ravna.
26 However, the Lord had not given up his furious hostility, which burned against Judah because of all that Manasseh had done to anger him.
Ipak Jahve nije odustao od plamena svoga velikoga gnjeva kojim je uskipio protiv Judejaca zbog svih izazova kojima ga je Manaše ljutio.
27 So the Lord announced, “I'm also going to banish Judah from my presence, just as I banished Israel. I will abandon this city that I have chosen, Jerusalem, and the Temple regarding which I said, My name will be there.”
Jahve je odlučio: “Maknut ću Judejce ispred sebe kao što sam maknuo Izraela; odbacit ću ovaj grad koji sam izabrao, Jeruzalem, i Dom o kojem rekoh: 'Tu će biti Ime moje.'”
28 The rest of what happened in Josiah's reign, and all he did, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Ostala povijest Jošijina i sve što je učinio, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa judejskih kraljeva?
29 While Josiah was still king, Pharaoh Neco, king of Egypt, led his army to help the king of Assyria at the Euphrates River. King Josiah took his army to fight him at Megiddo, but when Neco saw Josiah he killed him.
U njegvo je vrijeme faraon Neko, egipatski kralj, krenuo protiv asirskoga kralja na rijeci Eufratu. Kralj Jošija pošao je preda nj, ali ga on ubi u Megidu, pri prvom susretu.
30 His servants put his body in a chariot, brought him back from Megiddo to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. Then the people of the land chose Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him king in succession to his father.
Sluge njegove prenesoše mu tijelo kolima iz Megida, odvezoše ga u Jeruzalem i sahraniše u njegovoj grobnici. Sav narod zemlje primi Joahaza, sina Jošijina; pomazaše ga i proglasiše kraljem namjesto njegova oca.
31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah. She came from Libnah.
Joahazu bijahu dvadeset i tri godine kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je tri mjeseca u Jeruzalemu. Njegova se majka zvala Hamitah, kći Jeremije, i bila je iz Libne.
32 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as all his forefathers had done.
On je činio što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, sve kao što su činili oci njegovi.
33 Pharaoh Neco imprisoned Jehoahaz at Riblah in the land of Hamath to stop him ruling in Jerusalem. He also imposed on Judah a tribute of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
Faraon Neko bacio ga je u okove u Ribli, na području Hamata, da ne vlada u Jeruzalemu i udario je na zemlju danak od stotinu talenata srebra i deset talenata zlata.
34 Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim, son of Josiah, king in succession to his father Josiah, and he changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Jehoahaz to Egypt, where he died.
Faraon Neko postavio je za kralja Elijakima, sina Jošijina, na mjesto njegova oca Jošije. I ime mu je promijenio u Jojakim. A Joahaza je uzeo i odveo u Egipat te on umrije ondje.
35 Jehoiakim paid the silver and gold to Pharaoh Neco, but in order to meet Pharaoh's demand he taxed the land and required payment of the silver and the gold from the people, each in proportion to their wealth.
Jojakim je dao faraonu srebro i zlato, ali je nametnuo zemlji porez da bi smogao svotu koju je faraon zahtijevao. Svakome je nametnuo prema njegovu stanju, uzimao srebro i zlato koje je morao davati faraonu Neku.
36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother's name was Zebidah, daughter of Pedaiah She came from Rumah.
Jojakimu je bilo dvadeset i pet godina kad je postao kraljem i kraljevao je jedanaest godina u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Zebida, kći Pedajina, i bila je iz Rume.
37 He did evil in the Lord's sight, just as his forefathers had done.
On je činio što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, sve kao što su činili i oci njegovi.
