2 Chronicles 29
1 Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
Ezekiji je bilo dvadeset i pet godina kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je dvadeset i devet godina u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Abija, kći Zaharijina.
2 He did that which was right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that David his father had done.
Činio je što je pravo u očima Jahvinim, sasvim kao i njegov otac David.
3 He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of YHWH, and repaired them.
Prve godine prvoga mjeseca svojega kraljevanja otvorio je vrata Doma Jahvina i popravio ih.
4 He brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the broad place on the east,
Onda je pozvao svećenike i levite i, sabravši ih na istočni trg,
5 and said to them, "Listen to me, you Levites. Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of YHWH, the God of your fathers, and carry out the filthiness out of the holy place.
rekao: “Čujte me, leviti! Sada se posvetite i posvetite Dom Jahve, Boga svojih otaca, i uklonite nečist iz Svetinje.
6 For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the sight of YHWH our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of YHWH, and turned their backs.
Naši su se oci iznevjerili i radili što je zlo u očima Jahve, našega Boga. Ostavili su ga i odvratili lice od Jahvina Prebivališta, okrenuvši mu leđa.
7 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.
Zatvorili su trijemska vrata i potrnuli svjetiljke; nisu kadili kadom niti su prinosili paljenice u Svetištu Izraelova Boga.
8 Therefore the wrath of YHWH was on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to be tossed back and forth, to be an astonishment, and a hissing, as you see with your eyes.
Zato se Jahve rasrdio na Judejce i na Jeruzalem te je dopustio da budu zlostavljeni i da budu na užas i ruglo, kako vidite svojim očima.
9 For, look, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
I očevi su nam, eto, pali od mača, a sinovi, kćeri i žene zato su nam u ropstvu.
10 Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with YHWH, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.
Sad sam, dakle, namislio u svom srcu sklopiti Savez s Jahvom, Izraelovim Bogom, da bi se odvratio od nas njegov jarosni gnjev.
11 My sons, do not be negligent now; for YHWH has chosen you to stand before him, to minister to him, and that you should be his ministers, and burn incense."
Moja djeco, sad se nemojte lijeniti, jer vas je izabrao Jahve da stojite pred njim, da mu služite i da mu budete službenici i da mu kadite.”
12 Then the Levites arose, Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the descendants of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;
Tada ustadoše leviti: Amasajev sin Mahat i Azarjin sin Joel od Kehatovih sinova; od Merarijevih sinova: Abdijev sin Kiš i Jehalelelov sin Azarja; od Geršonovaca: Zimin sin Joah i Joahov sin Eden;
13 and of the descendants of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the descendants of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
od Elisafanovih sinova: Šimri i Jeiel; od Asafovih sinova: Zaharija i Matanija;
14 and of the descendants of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the descendants of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
od Hemanovih sinova: Jehiel i Šimej; od Jedutunovih sinova: Šemaja i Uziel.
15 They gathered their brothers, and sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of YHWH, to cleanse the house of YHWH.
Oni skupiše braću, posvetiše se i dođoše kako je bio zapovjedio kralj po Jahvinim riječima da očiste Jahvin Dom.
16 The priests went in to the inner part of the house of YHWH, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in YHWH's temple into the court of the house of YHWH. The Levites took it, to carry it out abroad to the Kidron Valley.
Svećenici uđoše u Jahvin Dom da ga očiste. Počeli su svu nečist što su je našli u Jahvinu Hekalu iznositi u predvorje Jahvina Doma; leviti su je primali iznoseći je napolje na potok Kidron.
17 Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of YHWH; and they sanctified the house of YHWH in eight days: and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
Počeli su posvećivati prvoga dana prvoga mjeseca, a osmoga su dana istoga mjeseca ušli u Jahvin trijem; posvećivali su Jahvin Dom osam dana; šesnaestoga su dana prvoga mjeseca završili.
18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king within the palace, and said, "We have cleansed all the house of YHWH, and the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and the table of show bread, with all its vessels.
Onda su ušli kralju Ezekiji i rekli: “Očistili smo sav Jahvin Dom: žrtvenik za paljenice sa svim njegovim priborom, stol za prinesene kruhove sa svim njegovim priborom,
19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign threw away when he trespassed, have we prepared and sanctified; and look, they are before the altar of YHWH."
a sve posuđe koje bijaše zabacio kralj Ahaz za svojega kraljevanja i nevjere opet smo obnovili i posvetili; eno ga pred Jahvinim žrtvenikom.”
20 Then Hezekiah the king arose early and gathered the officials of the city and went up to the house of YHWH.
Tada kralj Ezekija porani, skupi gradske knezove i ode u Jahvin Dom.
21 They brought seven bulls, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven male goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah. He commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of YHWH.
Dovedoše sedam mladih junaca, sedam ovnova, sedam jaganjaca, sedam jaraca za okajnicu, za kraljevstvo i za Svetište i za Judu; on zapovjedi Aronovim sinovima svećenicima da ih prinesu za paljenicu na Jahvinu žrtveniku.
22 So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: and they killed the rams, and sprinkled the blood on the altar: they killed also the lambs, and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
Zaklavši goveda, svećenici uzeše krv i poškropiše žrtvenik; zaklaše ovnove i krvlju poškropiše žrtvenik, zaklaše jaganjce i krvlju poškropiše žrtvenik.
23 They brought near the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly; and they laid their hands on them:
Dovedoše jarce za okajnicu pred kralja i pred zbor te metnuše ruke na njih.
24 and the priests killed them, and they made a sin offering with their blood on the altar, to make atonement for all Israel; for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
Onda ih zaklaše svećenici i prinesoše kao okajnicu njihovu krv na žrtveniku da izvrše obred pomirenja za sav Izrael, jer kralj bijaše zapovjedio da se prinese paljenica i okajnica za sav Izrael.
25 He set the Levites in the house of YHWH with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of YHWH by his prophets.
Postavio je u Jahvinu Domu levite s cimbalima, harfama i citrama, kako bijaše zapovjedio David, kraljev vidjelac Gad i prorok Natan, jer je od Jahve dolazila zapovijed po njegovim prorocima.
26 The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
Tako su leviti stajali s Davidovim glazbalima, a svećenici s trubama.
27 Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of YHWH began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel.
Tada Ezekija zapovjedi da prinesu paljenice na žrtveniku. Kad se stala prinositi paljenica, počela je Jahvina pjesma uz trube i uz glazbala izraelskoga kralja Davida.
28 All the assembly worshiped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
Sav se zbor klanjao, pjevači pjevali, a trubači trubili, i to sve dok se nije svršila paljenica.
29 When they had made an end of offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshiped.
Kad se svršilo prinošenje paljenice, kralj i svi koji bijahu s njim pobožno padoše na koljena i pokloniše se.
30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the leaders commanded the Levites to sing praises to YHWH with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped.
Onda su kralj i knezovi zapovjedili levitima da hvale Jahvu riječima Davida i vidioca Asafa; oni su počeli hvaliti s najvećim veseljem i, pavši ničice, poklonili se.
31 Then Hezekiah answered, "Now you have consecrated yourselves to YHWH; come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of YHWH." The assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.
Tada Ezekija progovori: “Sada ste posvetili ruke Jahvi; pristupite i donesite klanice i zahvalnice u Dom Jahvin.” Sav je zbor donio klanice i zahvalnice. Tko je god bio spremna srca, prinio je paljenice.
32 The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to YHWH.
Paljenica što ih je donio zbor bijaše na broj: sedamdeset goveda, sto ovnova, dvjesta jaganjaca, sve za paljenice Jahvi.
33 The consecrated things were six hundred head of cattle and three thousand sheep.
Ostalih posvećenih darova bilo je šest stotina goveda i tri tisuće grla sitne stoke.
34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: therefore their brothers the Levites helped them, until the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
Ali je svećenika bilo premalo, tako da nisu mogli oderati svih paljenica; zato su im pomagala braća leviti, dok se nije svršio posao i dok se nisu posvetili drugi svećenici, jer su leviti bili gorljiviji srcem da se posvete nego svećenici.
35 Also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and with the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of YHWH was set in order.
Bilo je i mnogo paljenica s pretilinom od pričesnica i s ljevanicama na paljenice. Tako se opet obnovila služba u Jahvinu Domu.
36 Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because of that which God had prepared for the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
I Ezekija se veselio, i sav narod s njime, što je Bog spremio narodu, jer se sve to iznenada dogodilo.
