2 Kings 22
1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jedidah 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 that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, and walked in all the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn away to the right hand 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 In the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to Yahweh’s house, 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, that he may count the money which is brought into Yahweh’s house, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered of 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 them deliver it into the hand of the workers who have the oversight of Yahweh’s house; and let them give it to the workers who are in Yahweh’s house, to repair the damage to the house,
Neka ga uruči poslovođama postavljenim u Domu Jahvinu, a oni neka isplate radnike koji popravljaju Dom Jahvin,
6 to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house.
drvodjelje, graditelje i zidare, i da se kupuje drvo i kamenje klesano što je potrebno za popravak Doma.
7 However, no accounting shall be asked of them for the money delivered into their hand, for they deal 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 Yahweh’s house.” Hilkiah delivered 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 the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, “Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hands of the workmen who have the oversight of Yahweh’s house.”
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 Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered a book to me.” Then Shaphan read it before the king.
Tada tajnik Šafan obavijesti kralja: “Svećenik Hilkija dade mi jednu knjigu.” I Šafan je poče čitati pred kraljem.
11 When the king had heard the words of the book of the law, he tore his clothes.
Čuvši riječi Knjige Zakona, kralj razdrije haljine svoje.
12 The king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Achbor the son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying,
I naredi svećeniku Hilkiji, Šafanovu sinu Ahikamu, Mikinu sinu Akboru, tajniku Šafanu i kraljevu sluzi Asaji:
13 “Go inquire of Yahweh for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found; for great is Yahweh’s wrath that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is 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, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked 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, “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 “Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the words of the book which 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, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it will not be quenched.’”
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 inquire of Yahweh, tell him, “Yahweh the God of Israel says, ‘Concerning the words which you have 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 you humbled yourself before Yahweh when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you,’ says Yahweh.
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 ‘Therefore behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the evil which I will bring on this place.’”’” So they brought 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.
