2 Kings 23
1 Then the king summoned all the elders of Jerusalem and [of the other places in] Judah.
Tedy poslav král, aby se shromáždili k němu všickni starší Judští a Jeruzalémští,
2 They went together to the temple, along with the priests and the prophets, and many other [HYP] people, from the most important people to the least important people. And while they listened, the king read to them all of the laws that Moses had written. He read from the scroll that had been found in the temple.
Vstoupil král do domu Hospodinova a všickni muži Judští, i všickni obyvatelé Jeruzalémští s ním, i kněží a proroci, a všecken lid od malého až do velikého, i četl, aby všickni slyšeli všecka slova knihy smlouvy, kteráž byla nalezena v domě Hospodinově.
3 Then the king stood next to the pillar [where the kings stood when they made important announcements], and while Yahweh was listening, he repeated his promise to sincerely obey [DOU] all of Yahweh’s commands and regulations [DOU]. He also promised to (fulfill the conditions of/do what was written in) the agreement he made with Yahweh. And all the people also promised to obey the agreement.
Potom stoje král na místě vyšším, učinil smlouvu před Hospodinem, že bude následovati Hospodina, a ostříhati přikázaní jeho, i svědectví jehoa ustanovení jeho, vším srdcem svým a vší duší svou, a plniti slova smlouvy té, kteráž jsou zapsána v knize té. K kteréžto smlouvě i všecken lid přistoupil.
4 Then the king commanded Hilkiah the Supreme Priest and all the other priests who assisted him and the men who guarded the entrance to the temple to bring out from the temple all the items that people had been using to worship Baal, the goddess Asherah, and the stars. [After they carried them out, ] they burned all those things outside the city near the Kidron Valley. Then they took all the ashes to Bethel, [because that city was already considered to be desecrated/unholy].
A přikázal král Helkiášovi knězi nejvyššímu a kněžím nižším i strážným prahu, aby vymetali z chrámu Hospodinova všecky nádoby, kteréž udělány byly Bálovi a háji, i všemu vojsku nebeskému. Kterýž popáliv je vně za Jeruzalémem na poli Cedron, vnesl prach jejich do Bethel.
5 There were many pagan priests that the previous kings of Judah had appointed to burn incense on the altars on the tops of hills in Judah. They had been offering sacrifices to Baal, to the sun, the moon, the planets, and the stars. The king stopped them from doing those things.
Složil také kněží, kteréž byli ustanovili králové Judští, aby kadívali na výsostech v městech Judských a vůkol Jeruzaléma; takž podobně i ty, kteříž kadívali Bálovi, slunci, měsíci a planétám, i všemu vojsku nebeskému.
6 He [commanded that] the statue of the goddess Asherah [be] taken out of the temple. Then they took it outside Jerusalem, down to the Kidron Brook, and burned it. Then they pounded the ashes to powder and scattered that over the graves in the public cemetery.
Vyvezl také háj z domu Hospodinova ven z Jeruzaléma ku potoku Cedron, a spálil jej u potoka Cedron a setřel na prach; ten pak prach vysypal na hroby synů toho lidu.
7 He also destroyed the rooms in the temple where the temple male prostitutes lived. That was where women wove robes that were used to worship the goddess Asherah.
Domky také sodomářů hanebných zkazil, kteříž byli při domě Hospodinově, v nichž ženy tkaly kortýny k háji.
8 Josiah also brought [to Jerusalem] all the priests who were offering sacrifices in the other cities in Judah. He also desecrated the places on the tops of hills where the priests had burned incense [to honor idols], from Geba [in the north] to Beersheba [in the south]. Those priests were not allowed to offer sacrifices in the temple, but they [were allowed to] eat the unleavened bread that the priests [who worked in the temple] ate. He also [commanded that] the altars that were dedicated to the goat demons near the gate built by Joshua, the mayor of Jerusalem, [be] destroyed. Those altars were at the left of the main gate into the city.
A kázal přivésti všecky kněží z měst Judských, a poškvrnil výsostí, na nichž kadívali kněží, od Gabaa až do Bersabé. Zkazil také výsostí u bran, kteréž byly u vrat brány Jozue, knížete města, a byly po levé straně vcházejícímu do brány městské.
A však nepřistupovali ti kněží výsostí k oltáři Hospodinovu v Jeruzalémě, ale jídali chleby přesné mezi bratřími svými.
10 Josiah also desecrated the place named Topheth, in the Hinnom Valley, in order that no one could offer his son or daughter there to be completely burned for a sacrifice to [the god] Molech.
Poškvrnil také i Tofet, jenž jest v údolí syna Hinnom, aby více žádný nevodil syna svého aneb dcery své skrze oheň Molochovi.
11 He also removed the horses that the [previous] kings of Judah had dedicated to worshiping the sun, and he burned the chariots that were used in that worship. Those horses and chariots were kept in the courtyard outside the temple, near the entrance to the temple, and near the room where [one of Josiah’s] officials, whose name was Nathan-Melech, lived.
Zahladil také ty koně, kteréž byli postavili králové Judští slunci, kdež se vchází do domu Hospodinova, k domu Netanmelecha komorníka, kterýž byl v Parvarim; a vozy slunce spálil ohněm.
12 Josiah also commanded his servants to tear down the altars that the previous kings of Judah had built on the roof of the palace, above the room where King Ahaz had stayed. They also tore down the altars that had been built by King Manasseh in the two courtyards outside the temple. He commanded that they be smashed to pieces and thrown down into the Kidron Valley.
Ano i oltáře, kteříž byli na vrchním paláci Achasovu, jichž byli nadělali králové Judští, a oltáře, jichž nadělal Manasses v obou síních domu Hospodinova, pobořil král, a pospíšiv s nimi odtud, dal vysypati prach jejich do potoka Cedron.
13 He also commanded that the altars that King Solomon had built east of Jerusalem, south of Olive Tree Hill, be desecrated. Solomon had built them for the worship of the disgusting idols—the [statue of the goddess] Astarte [worshiped by the people in] Sidon [city], Chemosh the god of the Moab people-group, and Molech the god of the Ammon people-group.
Výsosti také, kteréž byly před Jeruzalémem, a kteréž byly po pravé straně hory Olivetské, jichž byl nadělal Šalomoun král Izraelský Astarotovi, ohavnosti Sidonských, a Chámosovi, ohavnosti Moábských, a Melchomovi, ohavnosti synů Ammon, poškvrnil král,
14 They also broke into pieces the stone pillars that the Israeli people worshiped, and cut down the [pillars that honored the goddess] Asherah, and they scattered the ground there with human bones [to desecrate it].
A potřískal obrazy, háje posekal, a místa jejich naplnil kostmi lidskými.
15 Furthermore, he commanded them to tear down the place of worship at Bethel which had been built by King Jeroboam, the king who persuaded the people of Israel to sin. They tore down the altar. Then they broke its stones into pieces and pounded them to become powder. They also burned the statue [of the goddess] Asherah.
Nadto i oltář, jenž byl v Bethel, a výsost, kterouž udělal Jeroboám syn Nebatův, kterýž přivedl k hřešení Izraele, i ten oltář i výsost zkazil, a spáliv výsost, setřel ji na prach; spálil i háj.
16 Then Josiah looked around and saw some tombs there on the hill. He commanded his men to take the bones out of those tombs and burn them on the altar. By doing that, he desecrated the altar. That was what a prophet had predicted many years before when Jeroboam was standing close to that altar at a festival. Then Josiah looked up and saw the tomb of the prophet who had predicted that.
A obrátiv se Joziáš, uzřel hroby, kteříž tu na hoře byli, a poslav, pobral kosti z těch hrobů a spálil je na tom oltáři. A tak poškvrnil ho vedlé řeči Hospodinovy, kterouž mluvil muž Boží ten, kterýž to předpověděl.
17 Josiah asked, “Whose tomb is that?” The people of Bethel replied, “It is the tomb of the prophet who came from Judah and predicted that these things that you have just now done to this altar would happen.”
I řekl: Jaký jest onenno nápis, kterýž vidím? Odpověděli jemu muži města: Hrob muže Božího jest, kterýž přišed z Judstva, předpověděl tyto věci, kteréž jsi učinil při oltáři v Bethel.
18 Josiah replied, “Allow his tomb to remain as it is. Do not remove the prophet’s bones from the tomb.” So the people did not remove those bones, or the bones of the other prophet, the one who had come from Samaria.
Tedy řekl: Nechtež ho, aniž kdo hýbej kostmi jeho. I vysvobodili kosti jeho s kostmi proroka toho, kterýž byl přišel z Samaří.
19 In every city in Israel, at Josiah’s command, they tore down the shrines that had been built by the previous kings of Israel, which had caused Yahweh to become very angry. He did to all those shrines/altars the same thing that he had done to the altars at Bethel.
Též všecky domy výsostí, kteříž byli v městech Samařských, jichž byli nadělali králové Izraelští, aby popouzeli Hospodina, zkazil Joziáš, a učinil jim rovně tak, jakž byl učinil v Bethel.
20 He ordered that all the priests who offered sacrifices on the altars on the tops of hills must be killed on those altars. Then he burned human bones on every one of those altars [to desecrate them]. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
Zbil také všecky kněží výsostí, kteříž tu byli, na oltářích, a pálil kosti lidské na nich. Potom navrátil se do Jeruzaléma.
21 Then the king commanded all the people to celebrate the Passover Festival to honor Yahweh their God, which was written in the law of Moses that they should do [every year].
Přikázal pak král všemu lidu, řka: Slavte velikunoc Hospodinu Bohu svému, jakož psáno jest v knize smlouvy této.
22 During all the years that leaders ruled Israel and during all the years that kings had ruled Israel and Judah, they had not celebrated that festival.
Nebo nebyla slavena taková velikanoc od času soudců, kteříž soudili Izraele, a po všecky dny králů Izraelských a králů Judských.
23 But now, after Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years, to [honor] Yahweh they celebrated the Passover Festival in Jerusalem.
Osmnáctého léta krále Joziáše slavena jest ta velikanoc Hospodinu v Jeruzalémě.
24 Furthermore, Josiah got rid of all the people in Jerusalem and other places in Judah who practiced sorcery and those who requested the spirits of dead people [to tell them what they should do]. He also removed from Jerusalem and from the other places in Judah all the household idols and all the other idols and abominable things. He did those things in order to obey what had been written in the scroll that Hilkiah had found in the temple.
Ano i věšťce a hadače, obrazy i ukydané bohy, a všecky ty ohavnosti, což jich bylo viděti v zemi Judské a v Jeruzalémě, vyplénil Joziáš, aby naplnil slova zákona zapsaná v knize, kterouž nalezl Helkiáš kněz v domě Hospodinově.
25 Josiah was totally devoted to Yahweh. There had never been [in Judah or Israel] a king like him. He obeyed all the laws of Moses. And there has never since then been a king like Josiah.
A nebylo jemu podobného krále před ním, kterýž by obrátil se k Hospodinu celým srdcem svým, a celou duší svou, i všemi mocmi svými vedlé všeho zákona Mojžíšova, ani po něm nepovstal podobný jemu.
26 But Yahweh had become extremely angry with the people of Judah because of all the things that [King] Manasseh had done to infuriate him, and he continued to be very angry.
A však neodvrátil se Hospodin od prchlivosti hněvu svého velikého, kterouž vzbuzen byl hněv jeho proti Judovi, pro všecka popouzení, kterýmiž popouzel ho Manasses.
27 He said, “I will do to Judah what I have done to Israel. I will banish the people of Judah, with the result that they will never enter my presence again. And I will reject Jerusalem, the city that I chose [to belong to me], and I will abandon the temple, the place where I said that I [MTY] should be worshiped.”
Protož řekl Hospodin: Také i Judu zavrhu od tváři své, jako jsem zavrhl Izraele, a opovrhu to město, kteréž jsem vyvolil, Jeruzalém, i ten dům, o němž jsem byl řekl: Jméno mé tam bude.
28 [If you want to know more about] [RHQ] all the other things that Josiah did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
O jiných pak činech Joziášových, a cožkoli činil, zapsáno jest v knize o králích Judských.
29 While Josiah was the king of Judah, King Neco of Egypt led his army north to the Euphrates River to help the king of Assyria. King Josiah tried to stop the army of Egypt at Megiddo [city], but Josiah was killed in a battle there.
Za dnů jeho přitáhl Farao Nécho král Egyptský proti králi Assyrskému k řece Eufraten. I vytáhl král Joziáš proti němu, a on zabil jej v Mageddo, když ho uzřel.
30 His officials placed his corpse in a chariot and took it back to Jerusalem, where it was buried in his own tomb, a tomb where the other previous kings had not been buried. Then the people of Judah poured [olive] oil on [the head of] Josiah’s son Joahaz, to appoint him to be the new king.
Tedy služebníci jeho vloživše jej mrtvého na vůz, přivezli ho z Mageddo do Jeruzaléma, a pochovali jej v hrobě jeho. I vzal lid země Joachaza syna Joziášova, a pomazali ho, i ustanovili králem na místě otce jeho.
31 Joahaz was 23 years old when he became the king [of Judah], but he ruled from Jerusalem for [only] three months. His mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah [city].
Ve třímecítma letech byl Joachaz, když počal kralovati, a kraloval tři měsíce v Jeruzalémě. Jméno matky jeho bylo Chamutal, dcera Jeremiášova z Lebna.
32 Joahaz did many things that Yahweh said were evil, just like many of his ancestors had done.
A činil to, což jest zlého před očima Hospodinovýma, všecko tak, jakž činili otcové jeho.
33 King Neco’s [army came from Egypt and captured him and] tied him up with chains and took him as a prisoner to Riblah [town] in Hamath [district], to prevent him from continuing to rule in Jerusalem. Neco forced the people of Judah to pay to him (7,500 pounds/3,400 kg.) of silver and (75 pounds/34 kg.) of gold.
I svázal ho Farao Nécho v Ribla, v zemi Emat, když kraloval v Jeruzalémě, a uložil daň na tu zemi, sto centnéřů stříbra a centnéř zlata.
34 King Neco appointed another son of Josiah, Eliakim, to be the new king, and he changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. Then he took Joahaz to Egypt, and later Joahaz died there in Egypt.
A ustanovil Farao Nécho za krále Eliakima syna Joziášova, na místo Joziáše otce jeho, a proměnil jméno jeho, aby sloul Joakim. Ale Joachaza vzal, kterýž, když se dostal do Egypta, umřel tam.
35 King Jehoiakim collected a tax from the people [of Judah]. He collected more from the rich people and less from the poor people. He collected silver and gold from them, in order to pay to the king of Egypt what he commanded them to give.
To pak zlato i stříbro dával Joakim Faraonovi; pročež šacoval obyvatele země, aby mohl dáti stříbro k rozkázaní Faraonovu. Od jednoho každého vedlé toho, jakž byl šacován, bral stříbro i zlato od lidu země, aby dal Faraonovi Néchovi.
36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother was Zebidah, the daughter of Pedaiah from Rumah [town].
V pětmecítma letech byl Joakim, když počal kralovati, a jedenácte let kraloval v Jeruzalémě. Jméno matky jeho bylo Zebuda, dcera Pedaiova z Ruma.
37 He did many things that Yahweh says are evil, like his ancestors had done.
I činil to, což jest zlého před očima Hospodinovýma, podlé všeho, což činili otcové jeho.
