< 2 Kings 23 >
1 So the king sent messengers who gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
Kralj je poslal in k njemu so zbrali vse starešine iz Juda in iz Jeruzalema.
2 Then the king went up to the house of Yahweh, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, prophets, and all the people, from small to great. He then read in their hearing all the words of the book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of Yahweh.
Kralj je šel gor v Gospodovo hišo in vsi Judovi možje in vsi prebivalci Jeruzalema z njim, duhovniki, preroki, vse ljudstvo, tako mali kakor veliki, in v njihova ušesa je bral vse besede knjige zaveze, ki je bila najdena v Gospodovi hiši.
3 The king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before Yahweh, to walk after Yahweh and to keep his commandments, his regulations, and his statutes, with all his heart and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book. So all the people agreed to stand by the covenant.
Kralj je stal pri stebru in sklenil zavezo pred Gospodom, da hodijo za Gospodom in se držijo njegovih zapovedi, njegovih pričevanj in njegovih zakonov z vsem svojim srcem in vso svojo dušo, da izpolnjujejo besede te zaveze, ki so bile zapisane v tej knjigi. In vse ljudstvo je pristopilo k zavezi.
4 The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the priests under him, and the gatekeepers to bring out of the temple of Yahweh all the vessels that were made for Baal and Asherah, and for all the stars of heaven. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields in the Kidron Valley and carried their ashes to Bethel.
Kralj je zapovedal vélikemu duhovniku Hilkijáju, duhovnikom drugega reda in čuvajem vrat, da iz Gospodovega templja prinesejo vse posode, ki so bile narejene za Báala, za ašero in za vso vojsko neba, in sežgal jih je zunaj Jeruzalema, na poljih Kidrona in njihov pepel odnesel v Betel.
5 He got rid of the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had chosen to burn incense at the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places around Jerusalem—those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and the moon, to the planets, and to all the stars of heaven.
Odstavil je malikovalske duhovnike, ki so jih Judovi kralji določili, da zažigajo kadilo na visokih krajih po Judovih mestih in v krajih naokoli Jeruzalema. Tudi tiste, ki so zažigali kadilo Báalu, soncu, luni, planetom in vsej vojski neba.
6 He brought out the Asherah pole from the temple of Yahweh, outside Jerusalem to the Kidron Valley and burned it there. He beat it to dust and threw that dust onto the graves of the common people.
Iz Gospodove hiše je prinesel ašero, ven iz Jeruzalema, do potoka Kidron in jo sežgal pri potoku Kidronu in jo zdrobil v droben prah in njen prah vrgel na grobove otrok ljudstva.
7 He cleared out the rooms of the cultic prostitutes who were in the temple of Yahweh, where the women wove garments for Asherah.
Porušil je hiše posvečenih vlačugarjev, ki so bile pri Gospodovi hiši, kjer so ženske tkale tanke preproge za ašero.
8 Josiah brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba. He destroyed the high places at the gates that were at the entrance to the gate of Joshua (the city governor), on the left side of the city gate.
Vse duhovnike je privedel iz Judovih mest in omadeževal visoke kraje, kjer so duhovniki zažigali kadilo od Gebe do Beeršébe in porušil visoke kraje velikih vrat, ki so bile pri vhodu velikih vrat mestnega voditelja Józueta, ki so bila na moževi levici pri velikih vratih mesta.
9 Although the priests of those high places were not allowed to serve at the altar of Yahweh in Jerusalem, they ate unleavened bread among their brothers.
Vendar duhovniki visokih krajev niso prišli gor h Gospodovemu oltarju v Jeruzalemu, temveč so med svojimi brati jedli nekvašen kruh.
10 Josiah defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, so that no one might cause his son or his daughter to pass through the fire as a sacrifice to Molech.
In omadeževal je Tofet, ki je v dolini Hinómovih otrok, da noben človek ne bi mogel pripraviti svojega sina ali svoje hčere, da gre skozi ogenj k Molohu.
11 He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun. They had been in an area at the entrance to the temple of Yahweh, near the room of Nathan-Melek, the chamberlain. Josiah burned the chariots of the sun.
Odstranil je konje, ki so jih Judovi kralji podarili soncu ob vhodu v Gospodovo hišo, poleg sobe Netán Meleha, glavnega dvornega upravitelja, ki je bila v predmestjih in sončne bojne vozove sežgal z ognjem.
12 Josiah the king destroyed the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars that Manasseh had made in the two courts of the temple of Yahweh. Josiah smashed them into pieces and threw them into the Kidron Valley.
Oltarje, ki so bili na vrhu gornje Aházove sobe, ki so jih naredili Judovi kralji, in oltarje, ki jih je naredil Manáse v dveh dvorih Gospodove hiše, je kralj porušil, jih odstranil od tam in njihov prah vrgel v potok Kidron.
13 The king ruined the high places east of Jerusalem, south of the mount of corruption that Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth, the detestable idol of the Sidonians; for Chemosh, the detestable idol of Moab; and for Molech, the detestable idol of the people of Ammon.
Visoke kraje, ki so bili pred Jeruzalemom, ki so bili na desni roki gore izprijenosti, ki jo je Salomon zgradil za Astarto, ogabnost Sidóncev in za Kemoša, ogabnost Moábcev in za Milkóma, gnusobo Amónovih otrok, je kralj omadeževal.
14 He broke the stone pillars into pieces and cut down the Asherah poles and he filled those places with the bones of human beings.
Podobe je zlomil na koščke, posekal ašere in njihove kraje napolnil s človeškimi kostmi.
15 Josiah also completely destroyed the altar that was at Bethel and the high place that Jeroboam son of Nebat (the one who made Israel to sin) had constructed. He also burned that altar and the high place and beat it to dust. He also burned the Asherah pole.
Poleg tega oltar, ki je bil pri Betelu in visok kraj, ki ga je naredil Nebátov sin Jerobeám, ki je Izraela primoral grešiti, tako oltar kot visok kraj je porušil, požgal visok kraj, ga zdrobil v prah in sežgal ašero.
16 As Josiah looked over the area, he noticed the graves that were on the hillside. He sent men to take the bones from the graves; then he burned them on the altar, which defiled it. This was according to the word of Yahweh which the man of God had spoken, the man who spoke of these things beforehand.
Ko se je Jošíja obrnil, je ogledal mavzoleje, ki so bili na gori, poslal in iz mavzolejev vzel kosti in jih sežgal na oltarju, ga oskrunil, glede na Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je razglasil Božji mož, ki je razglasil te besede.
17 Then he said, “What monument is that I see?” The men of the city told him, “That is the grave of the man of God who came from Judah and spoke about these things that you have just done against the altar of Bethel.”
Potem je rekel: »Kakšen steber je to, kar vidim?« Ljudje iz mesta so mu rekli: » To je mavzolej Božjega moža, ki je prišel iz Juda in razglasil te stvari, ki si jih storil zoper betelski oltar.«
18 So Josiah said, “Let it alone. No one should move his bones.” So they let his bones alone, along with the bones of the prophet who had come from Samaria.
Rekel je: »Pustite ga pri miru. Naj noben človek ne premakne njegovih kosti.« Tako so pustili pri miru njegove kosti, s kostmi preroka, ki je prišel iz Samarije.
19 Then Josiah removed all the houses on the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made, and that provoked Yahweh to anger. He did to them exactly what had been done at Bethel.
Tudi vse hiše visokih krajev, ki so bile v samarijskih mestih, ki so jih naredili Izraelovi kralji, da bi Gospoda izzivali k jezi, je Jošíja odstranil in jim storil glede na vsa dejanja, ki jih je storil v Betelu.
20 He slaughtered all the priests of the high places on the altars and he burned human bones on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
Vse duhovnike visokih krajev, ki so bili tam, je usmrtil na oltarjih in na njih sežgal človeške kosti in se vrnil v Jeruzalem.
21 Then the king commanded all the people, saying, “Keep the Passover to Yahweh your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.”
Kralj je vsemu ljudstvu zapovedal, rekoč: »Praznujte pasho Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, kakor je to zapisano v knjigi te zaveze.«
22 Such a Passover celebration had never been held from the days of the judges who ruled Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel or Judah.
Zagotovo tam ni bilo takšne pashe od dni sodnikov, ki so sodili Izraelu, niti v vseh dneh Izraelovih kraljev, niti Judovih kraljev,
23 But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah this Passover of Yahweh was celebrated in Jerusalem.
kot [je bila ta] v osemnajstem letu kralja Jošíja, v katerem se je praznovala ta pasha Gospodu v Jeruzalemu.
24 Josiah also banished those who talked with the dead or with spirits. He also banished the fetishes, the idols, and all the disgusting things that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, so as to confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had found in the house of Yahweh.
Poleg tega je Jošíja odstranil delavce z osebnimi duhovi, čarovnike, podobe, malike in vse ogabnosti, ki so bile ogledane v Judovi deželi in v Jeruzalemu, da bi lahko izpolnil besede postave, ki so bile zapisane v knjigi, ki jo je duhovnik Hilkijá našel v Gospodovi hiši.
25 Before Josiah, there had been no king like him, who turned to Yahweh with all his heart, all his soul, and all his might, who followed all the law of Moses. Nor did any king like Josiah arise after him.
Pred njim ni bilo nobenega kralja, ki bi bil podoben njemu, ki bi se z vsem svojim srcem obrnil h Gospodu, z vso svojo dušo in z vso svojo močjo, glede na vso Mojzesovo postavo niti za njim ni vstal nihče, ki bi mu bil podoben.
26 Nevertheless, Yahweh did not turn away from the burning of his fierce anger, which burned against Judah because of all that Manasseh had done to provoke him to anger.
Vendar Gospod ni odvrnil okrutnosti svojega velikega besa, s čimer je bila vneta njegova velika jeza zoper Juda zaradi vseh izzivanj, s katerimi ga je izzival Manáse.
27 So Yahweh said, “I will also remove Judah out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will throw away this city that I have chosen, Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, 'My name will be there.'”
Gospod je rekel: »Prav tako bom iz svojega pogleda odstranil Juda, kakor sem odstranil Izraela in zavrgel bom to mesto Jeruzalem, ki sem ga izbral in hišo, o kateri sem rekel: ›Tam bo moje ime.‹«
28 As for the other matters concerning Josiah, everything that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
Torej preostala izmed Jošíjevih dejanj in vse, kar je storil, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Judovih kraljev?
29 In his days, Pharaoh Necho, king of Egypt, went to fight against the king of Assyria at the Euphrates River. King Josiah went to meet Necho in battle, and Necho killed him at Megiddo.
V njegovih dneh je faraon Neho, egiptovski kralj, odšel gor zoper asirskega kralja, k reki Evfrat, in kralj Jošíja je odšel zoper njega, in ko ga je [faraon] zagledal ga je usmrtil pri Megídu.
30 Josiah's servants carried him dead in a chariot from Megiddo, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own grave. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him king in his father's place.
Njegovi služabniki so ga na bojnem vozu odnesli mrtvega od Megíde, ga prinesli v Jeruzalem in ga pokopali v njegovem lastnem mavzoleju. Ljudstvo dežele pa je vzelo Jošíjevega sina Joaháza, ga mazililo in ga postavilo [za] kralja namesto njegovega očeta.
31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal; she was the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Joaház je bil star triindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati, in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval tri mesece. Ime njegove matere je bilo Hamutála, hči Jeremija iz Libne.
32 Jehoahaz did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, like everything that his ancestors had done.
Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, glede na vse, kar so počeli njegovi očetje.
33 Pharaoh Necho put him in chains at Riblah in the land of Hamath, so that he might not reign in Jerusalem. Then Necho fined Judah one hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.
Faraon Neho ga je vklenil v Ribli, v Hamovi deželi, da ne bi mogel kraljevati v Jeruzalemu in deželo je podvrgel davku stotih talentov srebra in talenta zlata.
34 Pharaoh Necho made Eliakim son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz away to Egypt, and Jehoahaz died there.
Faraon Neho je postavil Jošíjevega sina Eljakíma za kralja namesto njegovega očeta Jošíja in njegovo ime spremenil v Jojakím in odstranil Joaháza. Ta je prišel v Egipt in tam umrl.
35 Jehoiakim paid the silver and gold to Pharaoh. In order to meet the demand of Pharaoh, Jehoikim taxed the land and he forced each man among the people of the land to pay him the silver and gold according to their assessments.
Jojakím je dal faraonu srebro in zlato, toda obdavčil je deželo, da izroča denar glede na faraonovo zapoved. Od ljudstva dežele je zahteval srebro in zlato, od vsakogar glede na njegovo obdavčitev, da to izroči faraonu Nehu.
36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zebidah; she was the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
Jojakím je bil petindvajset let star, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval enajst let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Zebúda; hči Pedajája iz Rume.
37 Jehoiakim did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, just as his ancestors had done.
Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, glede na vse, kar so počeli njegovi očetje.
