2 Chronicles 34
1 JOSIAH was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.
Jošiji je bilo osam godina kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je trideset i jednu godinu u Jeruzalemu.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor 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 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten 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 And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and the images, that were on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strowed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto 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 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
Svećeničke je kosti spalio na njihovim žrtvenicima i tako očistio Judeju i Jeruzalem.
6 And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about.
Isto je učinio i po gradovima Manašeova, Efrajimova i Šimunova plemena, pa do Naftalijeva, po njihovim opustošenim mjestima unaokolo.
7 And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned 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 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house 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 And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to 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 And they put it in the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the Lord, and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house of the Lord, to repair and amend the house:
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 Even to the artificers and builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
Dali su drvodjeljama i graditeljima da kupuju tesanac i drvo za grede i da se pobrvnaju kuće koje bijahu porušili judejski kraljevi.
12 And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and other of the Levites, all that could skill of instruments of musick.
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 Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.
Jedni su bili nad bremenošama i nadstojnicima svih poslenika u svakoj službi, a drugi su od levita bili pisari, nadzornici i vratari.
14 And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the Lord, Hilkiah the priest found a book of the law of the Lord given by Moses.
Kad su iznosili novce donesene u Jahvin Dom, našao je svećenik Hilkija Knjigu Zakona Jahvina, danu preko Mojsija.
15 And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.
I, progovorivši, Hilkija reče tajniku Šafanu: “Našao sam Knjigu Zakona u Domu Jahvinu.” Hilkija dade knjigu Šafanu.
16 And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they do it.
Šafan odnese knjigu kralju i izvjesti ga: “Tvoje sluge rade sve što im se povjerilo.
17 And they have gathered together the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and to the hand of the workmen.
Izasuvši novce što su se našli u Domu Jahvinu, dadoše ih na ruku poslovođama i poslenicima.”
18 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
Tada tajnik Šafan javi kralju: “Svećenik Hilkija dade mi jednu knjigu.” I Šafan je poče čitati pred kraljem.
19 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.
Čuvši riječi Zakona, kralj razdrije haljine svoje.
20 And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king’s, saying,
I naredi Hilkiji, Šafanovu sinu Ahikamu, Mikinu sinu Abdonu, tajniku Šafanu i kraljevu sluzi Asaji:
21 Go, inquire of the Lord for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord, to do after all that is 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 And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college: ) and they spake to her to that effect.
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 And she answered them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me,
ona im reče: “Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Kažite čovjeku koji vas je poslao k meni:
24 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before 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 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.
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 And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard;
A judejskome kralju, koji vas je poslao po Jahvin savjet, recite ovo: Ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: Riječi si čuo.
27 Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith 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 Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word again.
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 sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Tada posla kralj da se saberu sve judejske i jeruzalemske starješine.
30 And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the Lord.
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 And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are written in this 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 And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
I sve koji su se našli u Jeruzalemu i Benjaminovu plemenu pozva da pristupe; i Jeruzalemci prionuše uza Savez Boga, Boga svojih otaca.
33 And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve the Lord their God. And all his days they departed not from following 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.
