Otra Laiku 34

1 Astoņus gadus Josija bija vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja trīsdesmit vienu gadu Jeruzālemē.

Josias was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.

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 that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father David, and turned not aside to the right hand 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.

And in the eighth year of his reign, and he [being] yet a youth, he began to seek the Lord God of his father David: and in the twelfth year of his reign he began to purge Juda and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the ornaments for the altars, and the molten 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.

And he pulled down the altars of Baalim that were before his face, and the high places that were above them; and he cut down the groves, and the graven images, and broke in pieces the molten images, and reduced them to powder, and cast [it] upon the surface of the tombs of those who [had] sacrificed to them.

5 Un elku priesteru kaulus viņš sadedzināja uz viņu altāriem, un tā viņš šķīstīja Jūdu un Jeruzālemi.

And he burnt the bones of the priests upon the altars, and purged Juda and Jerusalem.

6 Arī pa Manasus un Efraīma un Sīmeana pilsētām līdz Naftalum, pa viņu posta vietām visapkārt,

And [he did so] in the cities of Manasse, and Ephraim, and Symeon, and Nephthali, and the places round about 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.

And he pulled down the altars and the groves, and he cut the idols in small pieces, and cut off all the high places from all the land of Israel, and 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.

And in the eighteenth year of his reign, after having cleansed the land, and the house, he sent Saphan the son of Ezelias, and Maasa prefect of the city, and Juach son of Joachaz his 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.

And they came to Chelcias the high priest, and gave the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the gate collected of the hand of Manasse and Ephraim, and of the princes, and of every one that was left in Israel, and of the children of Juda and Benjamin, and of the dwellers in 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.

And they gave it into the hand of the workmen, who were appointed in the house of the Lord, and they gave it to the workmen who wrought in the house of the Lord, to repair and strengthen the house.

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 gave [it] also to the carpenters and builders, to buy squared stones, and timber for beams to cover the houses which the kings of Juda had destroyed.

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 [were] faithfully [engaged] in the works: and over them were superintendents, Jeth and Abdias, Levites of the sons of Merari, and Zacharias and Mosollam, of the sons of Caath, [appointed] to oversee; and every Levite, and every one that understood [how] to play on 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.

And [overseers were] over the burden-bearers, and over all the workmen in the respective works; and of the Levites [were appointed] scribes, and judges, and porters.

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.

And when they brought forth the money that had been brought into the house of the Lord, Chelcias the priest found a book of the law of the Lord [given] by the hand of 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 Chelcias answered and said to Saphan the scribe, I have found a book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Chelcias gave the book to Saphan.

16 Un Safans nesa to grāmatu ķēniņam un teica ķēniņam un sacīja: visu, ko tu saviem kalpiem pavēlējis, to tie dara.

And Saphan brought in the book to the king, and moreover gave an account to the king, [saying, This is] all the money given into the hand of your servants that work.

17 Un tie izbēruši to naudu, kas Tā Kunga namā atrasta, un to devuši tiem darba vedējiem un strādniekiem.

And they have collected the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and given it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of them that do the work.

18 Un skrīveris Safans ķēniņam teica un sacīja: priesteris Hilķija man ir devis grāmatu; un Safans no tās lasīja ķēniņam priekšā.

And Saphan the scribe brought word to the king, saying, Chelcias the priest has given me a book. And Saphan read it before the king.

19 Kad nu ķēniņš dzirdēja tos bauslības vārdus, tad viņš saplēsa savas drēbes.

And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the law, that he tore his garments.

20 Un ķēniņš pavēlēja Hilķijam un Aīkamam, Safana dēlam, un Abdonam, Mihas dēlam, un skrīverim Safanam, un Azajam, ķēniņa kalpam, un sacīja:

And the king commanded Chelcias, and Achicam the son of Saphan, and Abdom the son of Michaias, and Saphan the scribe, and Asia the servant of the king, saying,

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, enquire of the Lord for me, and for every one that is left in Israel and Juda, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord [which] has been kindled among us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of the Lord, to do according to all the things 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.

And Chelcias went, and [the others] whom the king told, to Olda the prophetess, the wife of Sellem son of Thecoe, son of Aras, who kept the commandments; and she lived in Jerusalem in the second [quarter]: and they spoke to her accordingly.

23 Un viņa uz tiem sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: sakāt tam vīram, kas jūs pie Manis sūtījis:

And she said to them, Thus has the Lord God of Israel said, Tell the man who sent you to me,

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;

Thus says the Lord, Behold, I bring evil upon this place, [even] all the words that are written in the book that was read before the king of Juda:

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 burnt incense to strange gods, that they might provoke me by all the works of their hands; and my wrath is kindled against this place, and it shall 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.

And concerning the king of Juda, who sent you to seek the Lord, —thus shall you say to him, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, [As for] the words which you has 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.

forasmuch as your heart was ashamed, and you was humbled before me when you heard my words against this place, and against the inhabitants of it, and you were humbled before me, and did rend your garments, and did weep before me; I also have heard, says 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.

Behold, I [will] gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes shall not look upon all the evils which I am bringing upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of it. And they brought back word to the king.

29 Tad ķēniņš sūtīja un sapulcināja visus Jūda un Jeruzālemes vecajus.

And the king sent and gathered the elders of Juda 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 the king went up to the house of the Lord, [he] and all Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that were 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.

And the king stood at a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk before the Lord, to keep his commandments and testimonies, and his ordinances, with all [his] heart and with all [his] soul, so as to perform the words of the 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.

And he caused all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand; and the inhabitants of Jerusalem made a covenant in the house of the Lord 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 Josias removed all the abominations out of the whole land which belonged to the children of Israel, and caused all that were found in Jerusalem and in Israel, to serve the Lord their God all his days: he departed not from following the Lord God of his fathers.
