2 Kings 22
1 Josiah was eight years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 31 years. His mother was Jedidah and his grandfather was Adaiah from Bozkath [town].
Osam godina bijaše Josiji kad poèe carovati, i carova trideset i jednu godinu u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Jedida, kæi Adajeva, iz Voskata.
2 Josiah did things that were pleasing to Yahweh and conducted his life as his ancestor King David had done. He completely obeyed [IDM] all the laws of God.
On èinjaše što je pravo pred Gospodom, i hoðaše svijem putem Davida oca svojega i ne otstupaše ni nadesno ni nalijevo.
3 After Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years, he sent his secretary Shaphan, the son of Azaliah and grandson of Meshullam, to the temple with these instructions:
A osamnaeste godine carovanja Josijina posla car Safana sina Azalije sina Mesulamova, pisara, u dom Gospodnji, govoreæi:
4 “Go to Hilkiah, the Supreme Priest, and tell him to give me a report, telling me how much money the men who guard the doors of the temple have collected from the people [as offerings].
Idi ka Helkiji poglavaru sveštenièkom, neka izbroji novce donesene u dom Gospodnji, što su nakupili od naroda vratari.
5 Then tell him to give all that money to the men who are supervising the work of repairing the temple.
I neka ih da poslenicima koji nadgledaju dom Gospodnji, pa neka daju poslenicima koji rade oko doma Gospodnjega da se opravi što je trošno u domu,
6 They must give that money to the carpenters, the builders, and the masons, and they should also buy the timber and the stones that they will use to repair the temple.
Drvodjeljama i kamenarima i zidarima, i da se kupuje drvo i kamen tesani da se opravi dom.
7 But the men who supervise the work will not be required to make a report on the money that is given to them, saying what they spent it for, because those men are completely honest.”
Ali da im se ne traže raèuni od novaca koji im se dadu, jer æe vjerno raditi.
8 [After Shaphan said that to Hilkiah] the king’s secretary, Hilkiah said to Shaphan, “I have found in the temple a scroll on which is written the laws [that God gave to Moses]!” Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan, and he started to read it.
Tada reèe Helkija poglavar sveštenièki Safanu pisaru: naðoh zakonik u domu Gospodnjem. I Helkija dade knjigu Safanu, i on je proèita.
9 Then Shaphan [took the scroll] to the king and said to him, “Your temple guards have taken the money that was in the temple, and they have given it to the men who will supervise the work of repairing the temple.”
A Safan pisar otide k caru, i javi caru govoreæi: pokupiše sluge tvoje novce što se naðoše u domu, predaše ih poslenicima koji nadgledaju dom Gospodnji.
10 Then Shaphan said to the king, [“I have brought to you] a scroll that Hilkiah gave to me.” And Shaphan started to read it to the king.
I kaza Safan pisar caru govoreæi: knjigu mi dade Helkija sveštenik. I proèita je Safan caru.
11 When the king heard the laws that were written in the scroll that Shaphan was reading to him, he tore his clothes [because he was very dismayed].
A kad car èu rijeèi u zakoniku, razdrije haljine svoje.
12 Then he gave these instructions to Hilkiah, to Shaphan’s son Ahikam, to Micaiah’s son Achbor, and to Asaiah, the king’s special advisor:
I zapovjedi car Helkiji svešteniku i Ahikamu sinu Safanovu i Ahvoru sinu Mihejinu i Safanu pisaru i Asaji sluzi carevu, govoreæi:
13 “Go and ask Yahweh for me and for all the people of Judah, about what is written in this scroll that has been found. Because [it is clear that] Yahweh is very angry with us because our ancestors disobeyed what was written on this scroll, things that we [should have done].”
Idite, upitajte Gospoda za me i za narod i za svega Judu radi rijeèi ove knjige što se naðe; jer je velik gnjev Gospodnji koji se raspalio na nas zato što oci naši ne slušaše rijeèi ove knjige da èine sve onako kako nam je napisano.
14 So Hilkiah, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to (consult/talk with) a woman whose name was Huldah, who was a prophetess who lived in the newer/northern part of Jerusalem. Her husband Shallum, son of Tikvah and grandson of Harhas, took care of the robes that were worn [in the temple] (OR, [by the king]). [Those five men told her about the scroll].
I tako otide Helkija sveštenik i Ahikam i Ahvor i Safan i Asaja k proroèici Oldi ženi Saluma sina Tekuja sina Arasa riznièara; a ona stajaše u Jerusalimu u drugom kraju; i govoriše s njom.
15 She said to them, “This is what Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] says: ‘Go back and tell the king who sent you
A ona im reèe: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: kažite èovjeku koji vas je poslao k meni:
16 that this is what Yahweh says: “Listen to this carefully. I am going to cause all the people who live here in Jerusalem to experience a disaster, which is what was written in the scroll that the king has read.
Ovako veli Gospod: evo pustiæu zlo na to mjesto i na stanovnike njegove, sve što govori knjiga koju je proèitao car Judin,
17 I will do that because they have abandoned me, and they burn incense to [honor] other gods. They have caused me to become very angry by [worshiping] the idols that they have made (OR, by all the wicked things that they have done), and my anger is like [MET] a fire that will not be put out.”
Zato što me ostaviše, i kadiše drugim bogovima da bi me gnjevili svijem djelima ruku svojih; zato se gnjev moj raspalio na to mjesto, i neæe se ugasiti.
18 The king of Judah sent you to inquire what I, Yahweh, wanted you to do, so this is what you should say to him: “Because you have heeded what was written in the scroll,
A caru Judinu, koji vas je poslao da upitate Gospoda, ovako mu kažite: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev za rijeèi koje si èuo:
19 and you repented and humbled yourself when you heard what I said to warn you [about what would happen to] this city and the people who live here and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you. I said that I would cause this city to be abandoned. It will be a city whose name people will use when they curse someone. But I have heard what you prayed,
Što je umeknulo srce tvoje, i ponizio si se pred Gospodom kad si èuo šta sam govorio za to mjesto i za stanovnike njegove da æe biti pustoš i prokletinja, i što si razdro haljine svoje i plakao preda mnom, zato i ja usliših tebe, veli Gospod.
20 so I will allow you to die [EUP] and be buried peacefully. I will cause the people who live here to experience a terrible disaster, but you will not [be alive to] see it.”’” After the men heard that, they returned to King Josiah and gave him that message.
Zato, evo, ja æu te pribrati k ocima tvojim i na miru æeš biti pribran u grob svoj, i neæeš oèima svojim vidjeti zla koje æu pustiti na to mjesto. I kazaše to caru.
