< 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 the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD, 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 For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep 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 sanctified themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves 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 was right in the eyes of the king and of all the congregation.
Stvar je ugajala kralju in vsej skupnosti.
5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem; for they had not kept it in great numbers according as it is 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 So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying: 'Ye children of Israel, turn back unto the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that He may return to the remnant that are escaped of you 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 ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, who acted treacherously against the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that He delivered them to be an astonishment, 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 be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into His sanctuary, which He hath sanctified for ever, and serve the LORD your God, that His fierce 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 turn back unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that led them captive, and shall come back into this land; for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away His face from you, if ye return unto 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 So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto 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 divers 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 Also in Judah was the hand of God to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by the word of the LORD.
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 keep 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 arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook 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 Then they killed the passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month; and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt-offerings into the house of the LORD.
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 order, according to the law of Moses the man of God; the priests dashed the blood, which they received of 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 had not sanctified themselves; therefore the Levites had the charge of killing the passover lambs for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the LORD.
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, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying: 'The good LORD pardon
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 every one that setteth his heart to seek God, the LORD, the God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification that pertaineth to holy things.'
ki pripravlja svoje srce, da išče Boga, Gospoda Boga svojih očetov, čeprav ni očiščen glede na očiščevanje svetišča.«
20 And the LORD 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 kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD.
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 encouragingly unto all the Levites that were well skilled in the service of the LORD. So they did eat throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace-offerings, and giving thanks to the LORD, 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 keep other seven days; and they kept other 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 did give to the congregation for offerings a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep; and priests sanctified themselves in great numbers.
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 all the 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 So there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not 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 Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people; and their voice was heard of the LORD, and their prayer came up to His holy habitation, even unto heaven.
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.
