< Otra Laiku 34 >
1 Astoņus gadus Josija bija vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja trīsdesmit vienu gadu Jeruzālemē.
Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years.
2 Un viņš darīja, kas Tam Kungam labi patika, un staigāja sava tēva Dāvida ceļos un neatkāpās ne pa labo, ne pa kreiso roku.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and walked in the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right or to the left.
3 Jo savas valdīšanas astotā gada, kad vēl bija jauns, viņš sāka meklēt sava tēva Dāvida Dievu, un divpadsmitā gadā viņš Jūdu un Jeruzālemi sāka šķīstīt no elku kalniem un Ašerām un elku tēliem un lietām bildēm.
In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, Josiah began to seek the God of his father David, and in the twelfth year he began to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the cast images.
4 Un priekš viņa acīm Baālu altāri tapa salauzīti, un tos saules stabus tur virsū viņš nocirta, un tās Ašeras un tos elku tēlus un tās lietās bildes viņš salauzīja un tās darīja par pīšļiem un tos kaisīja uz to kapiem, kas tām bija upurējuši.
Then in his presence the altars of the Baals were torn down, and he cut to pieces the incense altars that were above them. He shattered the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the cast images, crushed them to dust, and scattered them over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
5 Un elku priesteru kaulus viņš sadedzināja uz viņu altāriem, un tā viņš šķīstīja Jūdu un Jeruzālemi.
Then he burned the bones of the priests on their altars. So he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
6 Arī pa Manasus un Efraīma un Sīmeana pilsētām līdz Naftalum, pa viņu posta vietām visapkārt,
Josiah did the same in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, as far as Naphtali, and in the ruins around them.
7 Viņš nolauzīja tos altārus, un tās Ašeras, un tos elka tēlus viņš satrieca un sadragāja, un nocirta visus saules stabus pa visu Israēla zemi, un griezās atpakaļ uz Jeruzālemi.
He tore down the altars and Asherah poles, crushed the idols to powder, and cut to pieces all the incense altars throughout the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
8 Savas valdīšanas astoņpadsmitā gadā, kad to zemi un to namu bija šķīstījis, viņš sūtīja Safanu, Acalijas dēlu, un Maāseju, pilsētas virsnieku, un Joaku, Joakasa dēlu, to kancleri, ka tie atkal uzkoptu Tā Kunga, sava Dieva namu.
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, in order to cleanse the land and the temple, Josiah sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah son of Joahaz, the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.
9 Un tie nāca pie tā augstā priestera Hilķijas, un tiem deva to naudu, kas bija sanesta Dieva namā, ko leviti, tie sliekšņa sargi, bija sakrājuši no Manasus, no Efraīma un no visiem Israēla atlikušiem un no visas Jūda un Benjamina cilts un no Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājiem.
So they went to Hilkiah the high priest and gave him the money that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites at the doors had collected from the people of Manasseh and Ephraim, from all the remnant of Israel, Judah, and Benjamin, and from the people of Jerusalem.
10 Un tie to deva tiem darba vedējiem rokā, kas pār Tā Kunga namu bija iecelti, un tie darba vedēji to deva tiem strādniekiem, kas pie Tā Kunga nama strādāja, to namu sataisīt un uzkopt.
They put it into the hands of the supervisors of those doing the work of the house of the LORD, who in turn gave it to the workmen restoring and repairing the house of the LORD.
11 Un tie to deva tiem amatniekiem un nama taisītājiem, pirkt izcirstus akmeņus un kokus sijām un baļķus tiem namiem, ko Jūda ķēniņi bija postā pametuši.
They also gave money to the carpenters and builders to buy dressed stone, as well as timbers for couplings and beams for the buildings that the kings of Judah had allowed to deteriorate.
12 Un tie vīri darīja savu darbu uzticīgi. Un viņu uzraugi bija Jakats un Obadija, leviti no Merarus bērniem, un Mešulams no Kehāta bērniem; tie to darbu uzraudzīja; un visi tie leviti mācēja spēlēt mūzikas rīkus,
And the men did the work faithfully. The Levites overseeing them were Jahath and Obadiah, descendants of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, descendants of Kohath. Other Levites, all skilled with musical instruments,
13 Un bija pār nastu nesējiem un uzraugi pār visiem darba strādniekiem. Un citi leviti bija skrīveri un darba vedēji un vārtu sargi.
were over the laborers and supervised all who did the work, task by task. Some of the Levites were secretaries, officers, and gatekeepers.
14 Un kad tie to naudu izņēma, kas bija sanesta Tā Kunga namā, tad priesteris Hilķija atrada Tā Kunga bauslības grāmatu, kas caur Mozu dota.
While they were bringing out the money that had been taken into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of the LORD written by Moses.
15 Un Hilķija atbildēja un sacīja uz skrīveri Safanu: es esmu atradis to bauslības grāmatu Tā Kunga namā. Un Hilķija deva Safanam to grāmatu.
And Hilkiah said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the LORD!” And he gave it to Shaphan.
16 Un Safans nesa to grāmatu ķēniņam un teica ķēniņam un sacīja: visu, ko tu saviem kalpiem pavēlējis, to tie dara.
Then Shaphan brought the book to the king and reported, “Your servants are doing all that has been placed in their hands.
17 Un tie izbēruši to naudu, kas Tā Kunga namā atrasta, un to devuši tiem darba vedējiem un strādniekiem.
They have paid out the money that was found in the house of the LORD and have put it into the hands of the supervisors and workers.”
18 Un skrīveris Safans ķēniņam teica un sacīja: priesteris Hilķija man ir devis grāmatu; un Safans no tās lasīja ķēniņam priekšā.
Moreover, Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read it in the presence of the king.
19 Kad nu ķēniņš dzirdēja tos bauslības vārdus, tad viņš saplēsa savas drēbes.
When the king heard the words of the Law, he tore his clothes
20 Un ķēniņš pavēlēja Hilķijam un Aīkamam, Safana dēlam, un Abdonam, Mihas dēlam, un skrīverim Safanam, un Azajam, ķēniņa kalpam, un sacīja:
and commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Abdon son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of the king:
21 Ejat, vaicājiet To Kungu par mani un par visiem atlikušiem iekš Israēla un Jūda, par šās grāmatas vārdiem, kas atrasta. Jo Tā Kunga bardzība ir liela, kas pret mums iedegusies, tāpēc ka mūsu tēvi nav turējuši Tā Kunga vārdu, nedz to darījuši, kas viss šai grāmatā rakstīts.
“Go and inquire of the LORD for me and for those remaining in Israel and Judah concerning the words in the book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the LORD that has been poured out on us because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD by doing all that is written in this book.”
22 Tad Hilķija ar ķēniņa vīriem nogāja pie pravietes Uldas, Šaluma, Takeata dēla Azras dēla, tā drēbju sarga sievas, (tā dzīvoja Jeruzālemē otrā pusē, ) un to uz viņu runāja.
So Hilkiah and those the king had designated went and spoke to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the Second District.
23 Un viņa uz tiem sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: sakāt tam vīram, kas jūs pie Manis sūtījis:
And Huldah said to them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Tell the man who sent you
24 Tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, Es sūtīšu nelaimi šai vietai un viņas iedzīvotājiem, visus tos lāstus, kas tai grāmatā rakstīti, ko tie lasījuši Jūda ķēniņa priekšā;
that this is what the LORD says: I am about to bring calamity on this place and on its people, according to all the curses written in the book that has been read in the presence of the king of Judah,
25 Tāpēc ka tie Mani atstājuši un kvēpinājuši citiem dieviem, Mani kaitinādami ar visiem saviem roku darbiem, tad Mana bardzība pret šo vietu iedegsies un neizdzisīs.
because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. My wrath will be poured out upon this place and will not be quenched.’
26 Bet uz Jūda ķēniņu, kas jūs sūtījis, To Kungu vaicāt, jums tā būs sacīt: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, par tiem vārdiem, ko tu esi dzirdējis.
But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘As for the words that you heard,
27 Tādēļ ka tava sirds ir mīksta palikusi un tu esi pazemojies Dieva priekšā, dzirdēdams Viņa vārdus pret šo vietu un viņas iedzīvotājiem, un esi pazemojies Manā priekšā un saplēsis savas drēbes un raudājis Manā priekšā, tad Es tevi esmu paklausījis, saka Tas Kungs.
because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and against its people, and because you have humbled yourself before Me and you have torn your clothes and wept before Me, I have heard you,’ declares the LORD.
28 Redzi, Es tevi likšu pie taviem tēviem, un tu ar mieru tapsi glabāts savā kapā pie viņiem, un tavas acis neredzēs visu to ļaunumu, ko Es sūtīšu šai vietai un viņas iedzīvotājiem. Un tie ķēniņam atsacīja šos vārdus.
‘Now I will indeed gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the calamity that I will bring on this place and on its inhabitants.’” So they brought her answer back to the king.
29 Tad ķēniņš sūtīja un sapulcināja visus Jūda un Jeruzālemes vecajus.
Then the king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
30 Un ķēniņš gāja Tā Kunga namā līdz ar visiem Jūda vīriem un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājiem, un ar priesteriem un levitiem un visiem ļaudīm, lieliem un maziem, un priekš viņu ausīm tapa lasīti visi derības vārdi no tās grāmatas, kas bija atrasta Tā Kunga namā.
And he went up to the house of the LORD with all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, as well as the priests and the Levites—all the people small and great—and in their hearing he read all the words of the Book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of the LORD.
31 Un ķēniņš stāvēja savā vietā un derēja derību Tā Kunga priekšā, Tam Kungam pakaļ staigāt un no visas savas sirds un no visas savas dvēseles turēt Viņa baušļus un Viņa liecības un Viņa likumus un darīt tos derības vārdus, kas rakstīti šinī grāmatā.
So the king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD to follow the LORD and to keep His commandments, decrees, and statutes with all his heart and all his soul, and to carry out the words of this covenant that were written in this book.
32 Un viņš uzņēma tai derībā visus, kas Jeruzālemē un Benjaminā atradās, un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji darīja pēc Dieva, savu tēvu Dieva, derības.
Then he had everyone in Jerusalem and Benjamin take a stand in agreement to it. So all the people of Jerusalem carried out the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
33 Un Josija izdeldēja visas negantības no visām zemēm, kas Israēla bērniem piederēja, un darīja, ka visi, kas iekš Israēla atradās, kalpoja Tam Kungam, savam Dievam. Kamēr viņš dzīvoja, tie neatkāpās no Tā Kunga, savu tēvu Dieva.
And Josiah removed all the abominations from all the lands belonging to the Israelites, and he required everyone in Israel to serve the LORD their God. Throughout his reign they did not turn aside from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
