2 Kings 22
1 Eight years old was Josiah when he became king, and thirty and one years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yedidah, the daughter of 'Adayah of Bozkath.
Jošiji je bilo osam godina kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je trideset i jednu godinu u Jeruzalemu. Mati mu se zvala Jedida, kći Adajina, i bila je iz Boskata.
2 And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right or to the left.
Činio je što je pravo u Jahvinim očima. U svemu je hodio putem svoga oca Davida, ne skrećući ni desno ni lijevo.
3 And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azalyahu, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the Lord, saying,
Osamnaeste godine svoga kraljevanja Jošija posla svoga tajnika Šafana, sina Asalijahina, sina Mešulamova, u Dom Jahvin i reče mu:
4 Go up to Chilkiyahu the high-priest, that he may collect up all the money which is brought into the house of the Lord, which the door-keepers have gathered from the people:
“Idi velikom svećeniku Hilkiji da ti pripremi novac koji je odnesen u Dom Jahvin i koji su čuvari praga sakupili od naroda.
5 And let them deliver it into the hand of those who overlook the workmen, that have been appointed as overseers of the house of the Lord; and let them give it to those who do the work who are in the house of the Lord, to repair the breaches of the house:
Neka ga uruči poslovođama postavljenim u Domu Jahvinu, a oni neka isplate radnike koji popravljaju Dom Jahvin,
6 Unto the carpenters, and the builders, and the masons, and to buy timber and hewn stones to repair the house.
drvodjelje, graditelje i zidare, i da se kupuje drvo i kamenje klesano što je potrebno za popravak Doma.
7 Nevertheless shall there be no reckoning made with them for the money that is delivered into their hand, because they deal faithfully.
Ali neka se ne traži od njih račun za uručeni novac jer oni rade pošteno.”
8 And Chilkiyahu the high-priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, A book of the law have I found in the house of the Lord. And Chilkiyah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
Veliki svećenik Hilkija reče tajniku Šafanu: “Našao sam Knjigu Zakona u Domu Jahvinu.” I Hilkija dade knjigu Šafanu, koji ju je pročitao.
9 And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have taken out all the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of those who overlook the workmen, that have been appointed overseers of the house of the Lord.
Tajnik Šafan dođe kralju te ga izvijesti: “Tvoje sluge”, reče on, “pokupile su novac koji se našao u Domu i predale su ga poslovođama postavljenim u Domu Jahvinu.”
10 And Shaphan the scribe also told the king, saying, A book hath Chilkiyahu the priest given me. And Shaphan read it before the king.
Tada tajnik Šafan obavijesti kralja: “Svećenik Hilkija dade mi jednu knjigu.” I Šafan je poče čitati pred kraljem.
11 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.
Čuvši riječi Knjige Zakona, kralj razdrije haljine svoje.
12 And the king commanded Chilkiyah the priest, and Achikam the son of Shaphan, and 'Achbor the son of Michayah, and Shaphan the scribe, and 'Assahyah a servant of the king's, saying,
I naredi svećeniku Hilkiji, Šafanovu sinu Ahikamu, Mikinu sinu Akboru, tajniku Šafanu i kraljevu sluzi Asaji:
13 Go ye, inquire of the Lord in my behalf, and in behalf of the people, and in behalf of all Judah, concerning the words of this book that hath been found; for great is the wrath of the Lord that hath been kindled against us, because our fathers did not hearken unto the words of this book, to do in accordance with all that is prescribed concerning us.
“Idite i upitajte Jahvu o meni, i o narodu, i o svoj Judeji zbog ove knjige što je nađena, jer je velika Jahvina jarost što se izlila na nas zato što naši očevi nisu slušali riječi ove knjige, nisu vršili što nam je u njoj napisano.”
14 And Chilkiyahu the priest, and Achikam, and 'Achbor, and Shaphan, and 'Assahyah, went unto Chuldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah the son of Charchass, the keeper of the wardrobe; [now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the suburb; ] and they spoke unto her.
Svećenik Hilkija, Ahikam, Akbor, Šafan i Asaja odoše proročici Huldi, ženi Šaluma, sina Tikvina, sina Harkasova, čuvara odjeće; ona je živjela u Jeruzalemu, u novom gradu. Kad joj to kazaše,
15 And she said unto them, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Say unto the man that hath sent you to me,
ona im reče: “Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Kažite čovjeku koji vas je poslao k meni:
16 Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon its inhabitants, all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read;
Ovako veli Jahve: Evo, dovest ću nesreću na ovaj grad i na njegove stanovnike, izvršit ću sve što kaže knjiga koju je pročitao judejski kralj.
17 Because they have forsaken me, and have burnt incense unto other gods, in order to provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands: therefore is my wrath kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.
Jer su me ostavili i prinose žrtve tuđim bogovima da bi me ljutili svim djelima ruku svojih, planut će jarost moja na to mjesto i neće se ugasiti.'
18 But with respect to the king of Judah who sendeth you to inquire of the Lord, thus shall ye say to him, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Concerning the words which thou hast heard;
A judejskom kralju, koji vas je poslao po Jahvin savjet, recite ovo: 'Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: Riječi si čuo.
19 Because thy heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord, when thou heardest what I had spoken against this place, and against its inhabitants, that they should become an astonishment and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me: I also have heard it, saith the Lord.
Ali kako ti je omekšalo srce i jer si se ponizio pred Jahvom čuvši što sam objavio tome gradu i njegovim stanovnicima, koje će pogoditi pustošenje i prokletstvo, i jer si razdro haljine svoje i plakao preda mnom, zato sam te uslišio' - riječ je Jahvina.
20 Therefore, behold, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered unto thy graves in peace; and thy eyes shall not look on all the evil which I am bringing over this place. And they brought the king word again.
'Evo, sjedinit ću te s ocima tvojim i s mirom ćeš leći u grob da ne vidiš svojim očima svu nesreću koju ću svaliti na ovo mjesto.'” Oni odnesoše taj odgovor kralju.
