2 Kings 22
1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jedidah (she was the daughter of Adaiah 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 He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh. He walked in all the way of David his ancestor, and he did not turn away either 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 It came about that in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, he sent Shaphan son of Azaliah son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of Yahweh, saying,
Osamnaeste godine svoga kraljevanja Jošija posla svoga tajnika Šafana, sina Asalijahina, sina Mešulamova, u Dom Jahvin i reče mu:
4 “Go up to Hilkiah the high priest and tell him to count the money that has been brought into the house of Yahweh, which the temple guards 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 Let it be given into the hand of the workmen who are in charge of the house of Yahweh, and let them give it to the workmen who are in the house of Yahweh, for them to make repairs to damage in the temple.
Neka ga uruči poslovođama postavljenim u Domu Jahvinu, a oni neka isplate radnike koji popravljaju Dom Jahvin,
6 Let them give money to the carpenters, the builders, and the masons, and also to buy timber and cut stone to repair the temple.”
drvodjelje, graditelje i zidare, i da se kupuje drvo i kamenje klesano što je potrebno za popravak Doma.
7 But no accounting was required for the money that was given to them, because they handled it faithfully.
Ali neka se ne traži od njih račun za uručeni novac jer oni rade pošteno.”
8 Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the house of Yahweh.” So Hilkiah 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 Shaphan went and took the book to the king, and also reported to him, saying, “Your servants have spent the money that was found in the temple and they have given it into the hand of the workmen who supervise the care for the house of Yahweh.”
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 Then Shaphan the scribe said to the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” Then Shaphan read it to the king.
Tada tajnik Šafan obavijesti kralja: “Svećenik Hilkija dade mi jednu knjigu.” I Šafan je poče čitati pred kraljem.
11 It came about that when the king had heard the words of the law, he tore his clothes.
Čuvši riječi Knjige Zakona, kralj razdrije haljine svoje.
12 The king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Akbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah, his own servant, saying,
I naredi svećeniku Hilkiji, Šafanovu sinu Ahikamu, Mikinu sinu Akboru, tajniku Šafanu i kraljevu sluzi Asaji:
13 “Go and consult with Yahweh for me, and for the people and for all Judah, because of the words of this book that has been found. For great is the anger of Yahweh that has been kindled against us because our ancestors have not listened to the words of this book so as to obey all that was written 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 So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Akbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum son of Tikvah son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter), and they spoke with 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 She said to them, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says: 'Tell the man who sent you to me,
ona im reče: “Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Kažite čovjeku koji vas je poslao k meni:
16 “This is what Yahweh says: 'See, I will bring disaster to this place and to its inhabitants, according to everything written in the book that the king of Judah has 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 burned incense to other gods, so that they might provoke me to anger with all the deeds they have committed—therefore my anger has been kindled against this place, and it will not be extinguished.'”
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 to the king of Judah, who sent you to ask Yahweh's will, this is what you will say to him: “Yahweh, the God of Israel says this: 'About the words that you heard,
A judejskom kralju, koji vas je poslao po Jahvin savjet, recite ovo: 'Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: Riječi si čuo.
19 because your heart was tender, and because you have humbled yourself before Yahweh, when you heard what I said against this place and its inhabitants, that they would become a desolation and a curse, and because you have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have listened to you—this is Yahweh's declaration.
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 See, I will gather you to your ancestors, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the disaster that I will bring upon this place.'”'” So the men took this message back to the king.
'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.
