2 Kings 23

1 And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.

Kralj je poslal in k njemu so zbrali vse starešine iz Juda in iz Jeruzalema.

2 And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.

Kralj je šel gor v Gospodovo hišo in vsi Judovi možje in vsi prebivalci Jeruzalema z njim, duhovniki, preroki, vse ljudstvo, tako mali kakor veliki, in v njihova ušesa je bral vse besede knjige zaveze, ki je bila najdena v Gospodovi hiši.

3 And the king stood by a pillar, 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 [their] heart and all [their] soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.

Kralj je stal pri stebru in sklenil zavezo pred Gospodom, da hodijo za Gospodom in se držijo njegovih zapovedi, njegovih pričevanj in njegovih zakonov z vsem svojim srcem in vso svojo dušo, da izpolnjujejo besede te zaveze, ki so bile zapisane v tej knjigi. In vse ljudstvo je pristopilo k zavezi.

4 And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el.

Kralj je zapovedal vélikemu duhovniku Hilkijáju, duhovnikom drugega reda in čuvajem vrat, da iz Gospodovega templja prinesejo vse posode, ki so bile narejene za Báala, za ašero in za vso vojsko neba, in sežgal jih je zunaj Jeruzalema, na poljih Kidrona in njihov pepel odnesel v Betel.

5 And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.

Odstavil je malikovalske duhovnike, ki so jih Judovi kralji določili, da zažigajo kadilo na visokih krajih po Judovih mestih in v krajih naokoli Jeruzalema. Tudi tiste, ki so zažigali kadilo Báalu, soncu, luni, planetom in vsej vojski neba.

6 And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped [it] small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people.

Iz Gospodove hiše je prinesel ašero, ven iz Jeruzalema, do potoka Kidron in jo sežgal pri potoku Kidronu in jo zdrobil v droben prah in njen prah vrgel na grobove otrok ljudstva.

7 And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that [were] by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove.

Porušil je hiše posvečenih vlačugarjev, ki so bile pri Gospodovi hiši, kjer so ženske tkale tanke preproge za ašero.

8 And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beer-sheba, and brake down the high places of the gates that [were] in the entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which [were] on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city.

Vse duhovnike je privedel iz Judovih mest in omadeževal visoke kraje, kjer so duhovniki zažigali kadilo od Gebe do Beeršébe in porušil visoke kraje velikih vrat, ki so bile pri vhodu velikih vrat mestnega voditelja Józueta, ki so bila na moževi levici pri velikih vratih mesta.

9 Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat of the unleavened bread among their brethren.

Vendar duhovniki visokih krajev niso prišli gor h Gospodovemu oltarju v Jeruzalemu, temveč so med svojimi brati jedli nekvašen kruh.

10 And he defiled Topheth, which [is] in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.

In omadeževal je Tofet, ki je v dolini Hinómovih otrok, da noben človek ne bi mogel pripraviti svojega sina ali svoje hčere, da gre skozi ogenj k Molohu.

11 And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which [was] in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

Odstranil je konje, ki so jih Judovi kralji podarili soncu ob vhodu v Gospodovo hišo, poleg sobe Netán Meleha, glavnega dvornega upravitelja, ki je bila v predmestjih in sončne bojne vozove sežgal z ognjem.

12 And the altars that [were] on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and brake [them] down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.

Oltarje, ki so bili na vrhu gornje Aházove sobe, ki so jih naredili Judovi kralji, in oltarje, ki jih je naredil Manáse v dveh dvorih Gospodove hiše, je kralj porušil, jih odstranil od tam in njihov prah vrgel v potok Kidron.

13 And the high places that [were] before Jerusalem, which [were] on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.

Visoke kraje, ki so bili pred Jeruzalemom, ki so bili na desni roki gore izprijenosti, ki jo je Salomon zgradil za Astarto, ogabnost Sidóncev in za Kemoša, ogabnost Moábcev in za Milkóma, gnusobo Amónovih otrok, je kralj omadeževal.

14 And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.

Podobe je zlomil na koščke, posekal ašere in njihove kraje napolnil s človeškimi kostmi.

15 Moreover the altar that [was] at Beth-el, [and] the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned the high place, [and] stamped [it] small to powder, and burned the grove.

Poleg tega oltar, ki je bil pri Betelu in visok kraj, ki ga je naredil Nebátov sin Jerobeám, ki je Izraela primoral grešiti, tako oltar kot visok kraj je porušil, požgal visok kraj, ga zdrobil v prah in sežgal ašero.

16 And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that [were] there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned [them] upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.

Ko se je Jošíja obrnil, je ogledal mavzoleje, ki so bili na gori, poslal in iz mavzolejev vzel kosti in jih sežgal na oltarju, ga oskrunil, glede na Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je razglasil Božji mož, ki je razglasil te besede.

17 Then he said, What title [is] that that I see? And the men of the city told him, [It is] the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Beth-el.

Potem je rekel: »Kakšen steber je to, kar vidim?« Ljudje iz mesta so mu rekli: » To je mavzolej Božjega moža, ki je prišel iz Juda in razglasil te stvari, ki si jih storil zoper betelski oltar.«

18 And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.

Rekel je: »Pustite ga pri miru. Naj noben človek ne premakne njegovih kosti.« Tako so pustili pri miru njegove kosti, s kostmi preroka, ki je prišel iz Samarije.

19 And all the houses also of the high places that [were] in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke [the Lord] to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Beth-el.

Tudi vse hiše visokih krajev, ki so bile v samarijskih mestih, ki so jih naredili Izraelovi kralji, da bi Gospoda izzivali k jezi, je Jošíja odstranil in jim storil glede na vsa dejanja, ki jih je storil v Betelu.

20 And he slew all the priests of the high places that [were] there upon the altars, and burned men’s bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.

Vse duhovnike visokih krajev, ki so bili tam, je usmrtil na oltarjih in na njih sežgal človeške kosti in se vrnil v Jeruzalem.

21 And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as [it is] written in the book of this covenant.

Kralj je vsemu ljudstvu zapovedal, rekoč: »Praznujte pasho Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, kakor je to zapisano v knjigi te zaveze.«

22 Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;

Zagotovo tam ni bilo takšne pashe od dni sodnikov, ki so sodili Izraelu, niti v vseh dneh Izraelovih kraljev, niti Judovih kraljev,

23 But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, [wherein] this passover was holden to the LORD in Jerusalem.

kot [je bila ta] v osemnajstem letu kralja Jošíja, v katerem se je praznovala ta pasha Gospodu v Jeruzalemu.

24 Moreover the [workers with] familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.

Poleg tega je Jošíja odstranil delavce z osebnimi duhovi, čarovnike, podobe, malike in vse ogabnosti, ki so bile ogledane v Judovi deželi in v Jeruzalemu, da bi lahko izpolnil besede postave, ki so bile zapisane v knjigi, ki jo je duhovnik Hilkijá našel v Gospodovi hiši.

25 And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there [any] like him.

Pred njim ni bilo nobenega kralja, ki bi bil podoben njemu, ki bi se z vsem svojim srcem obrnil h Gospodu, z vso svojo dušo in z vso svojo močjo, glede na vso Mojzesovo postavo niti za njim ni vstal nihče, ki bi mu bil podoben.

26 Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal.

Vendar Gospod ni odvrnil okrutnosti svojega velikega besa, s čimer je bila vneta njegova velika jeza zoper Juda zaradi vseh izzivanj, s katerimi ga je izzival Manáse.

27 And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.

Gospod je rekel: »Prav tako bom iz svojega pogleda odstranil Juda, kakor sem odstranil Izraela in zavrgel bom to mesto Jeruzalem, ki sem ga izbral in hišo, o kateri sem rekel: ›Tam bo moje ime.‹«

28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

Torej preostala izmed Jošíjevih dejanj in vse, kar je storil, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Judovih kraljev?

29 In his days Pharaoh-nechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.

V njegovih dneh je faraon Neho, egiptovski kralj, odšel gor zoper asirskega kralja, k reki Evfrat, in kralj Jošíja je odšel zoper njega, in ko ga je [faraon] zagledal ga je usmrtil pri Megídu.

30 And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.

Njegovi služabniki so ga na bojnem vozu odnesli mrtvega od Megíde, ga prinesli v Jeruzalem in ga pokopali v njegovem lastnem mavzoleju. Ljudstvo dežele pa je vzelo Jošíjevega sina Joaháza, ga mazililo in ga postavilo [za] kralja namesto njegovega očeta.

31 Jehoahaz [was] twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

Joaház je bil star triindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati, in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval tri mesece. Ime njegove matere je bilo Hamutála, hči Jeremija iz Libne.

32 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.

Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, glede na vse, kar so počeli njegovi očetje.

33 And Pharaoh-nechoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.

Faraon Neho ga je vklenil v Ribli, v Hamovi deželi, da ne bi mogel kraljevati v Jeruzalemu in deželo je podvrgel davku stotih talentov srebra in talenta zlata.

34 And Pharaoh-nechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died there.

Faraon Neho je postavil Jošíjevega sina Eljakíma za kralja namesto njegovega očeta Jošíja in njegovo ime spremenil v Jojakím in odstranil Joaháza. Ta je prišel v Egipt in tam umrl.

35 And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give [it] unto Pharaoh-nechoh.

Jojakím je dal faraonu srebro in zlato, toda obdavčil je deželo, da izroča denar glede na faraonovo zapoved. Od ljudstva dežele je zahteval srebro in zlato, od vsakogar glede na njegovo obdavčitev, da to izroči faraonu Nehu.

36 Jehoiakim [was] twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.

Jojakím je bil petindvajset let star, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval enajst let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Zebúda; hči Pedajája iz Rume.

37 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.

Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, glede na vse, kar so počeli njegovi očetje.
