2 Dnevnika 34
1 Osam godina bijaše Josiji kad poèe carovati, i carova trideset i jednu godinu u Jerusalimu.
Josiah was eight years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
2 On èinjaše što je pravo pred Gospodom i hoðaše putovima Davida oca svojega i ne otstupaše ni nadesno ni nalijevo.
And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, and he walked in the ways of his father David. He did not turn away, neither to the right, nor to the left.
3 Jer osme godine carovanja svojega, dok još bješe dijete, poèe tražiti Boga Davida oca svojega; a dvanaeste godine poèe èistiti Judeju i Jerusalim od visina i od lugova i od likova rezanijeh i livenijeh.
Now in the eighth year of his reign, when he was still a boy, he began to seek the God of his father David. And in the twelfth year after he had begun to reign, he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the sacred groves, and the idols, and the graven images.
4 Jer pred njim raskopaše oltare Valima, i likove sunèane koji bijahu na njima isijeèe, i gajeve, i likove rezane i livene izlomi i satr, i razasu po grobovima onijeh koji im prinosiše žrtve;
And in his sight, they destroyed the altars of the Baals, and they demolished the idols which had been set upon them. And then he cut down the sacred groves and crushed the graven images. And he scattered the fragments upon the tombs of those who had been accustomed to immolate to them.
5 A kosti sveštenièke sažeže na oltarima njihovijem; i oèisti Judeju i Jerusalim;
And after that, he burned the bones of the priests upon the altars of the idols. And so did he cleanse Judah and Jerusalem.
6 Tako i gradove Manasijine i Jefremove i Simeunove i do Neftalima, i pustoši njihove unaokolo.
Then too, in the cities of Manasseh, and of Ephraim, and of Simeon, even to Naphtali, he overturned everything.
7 I tako obori oltare i gajeve, i likove izlomi i satr, i sve likove sunèane isijeèe po svoj zemlji Izrailjevoj; potom se vrati u Jerusalim.
And when he had destroyed the altars and the sacred groves, and had broken the idols to pieces, and when all the profane shrines had been demolished from the entire land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
8 A osamnaeste godine carovanja svojega, pošto oèisti zemlju i dom, posla Safana sina Azalijina i Masiju zapovjednika gradskoga i Joaha sina Joahazova, pametara, da se opravi dom Gospoda Boga njegova.
And so, in the eighteenth year of his reign, having now cleansed the land and the temple of the Lord, he sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah, the ruler of the city, and Joah, the son of Joahaz, the historian, to repair the house of the Lord his God.
9 I oni otidoše ka Helkiji poglavaru sveštenièkom, i predaše novce donesene u dom Božji, koje skupiše Leviti vratari od sinova Manasijinih i Jefremovijeh i od svega ostatka Izrailjeva, i od svega Jude i Venijamina, pa se vratiše u Jerusalim;
And they went to Hilkiah, the high priest. And having accepted from him the money which had been brought into the house of the Lord, and which the Levites and porters had gathered together from Manasseh, and Ephraim, and the entire remnant of Israel, and also from all of Judah, and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
10 I dadoše nastojnicima nad poslom, koji bijahu nad domom Gospodnjim, a oni ih davahu poslenicima koji raðahu u domu Gospodnjem opravljajuæi što je trošno i utvrðujuæi dom;
they delivered it into the hands of those who were in charge of the workers in the house of the Lord, so that they might repair the temple, and restore whatever was weak.
11 Davahu drvodjeljama i kamenarima da se kupuje kamenje tesano i drvo za grede i da se pobrvnaju kuæe koje bijahu razvalili carevi Judini.
And they gave it to the artisans and the stoneworkers, so that they might buy stones from the quarries, and wood for the joints of the building and for the upper floors of the houses, which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
12 A ti ljudi raðahu vjerno posao; i nad njima bijahu postavljeni Jat i Ovadija Leviti od sinova Merarijevih, i Zaharija i Mesulam od sinova Katovijeh da nastoje oko posla; i ti Leviti svi umijahu udarati u sprave muzièke.
And they did everything faithfully. Now the overseers of the workers were Jahath and Obadiah, from the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, from the sons of Kohath, who were supervising the work. All were Levites who knew how to play musical instruments.
13 I bijahu nad nosiocima i nad svijem poslenicima u svakoj službi, i pisari i upravitelji i vratari bijahu Leviti.
Truly, scribes and teachers, from among the Levites who were porters, were over those who were carrying burdens for various uses.
14 I kad iznošahu novce donesene u dom Gospodnji, naðe Helkija sveštenik knjigu zakona Gospodnjega danoga preko Mojsija.
And when they carried out the money that had been brought into the temple of the Lord, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
15 I kaza Helkija Safanu pisaru i reèe: naðoh zakonik u domu Gospodnjem. I dade Helkija knjigu Safanu.
And he said to Shaphan, the scribe: “I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord.” And he delivered it to him.
16 A Safan odnese knjigu caru i javi mu govoreæi: sluge tvoje rade sve što im je zapovjeðeno.
Then he took the volume to the king, and he reported to him, saying: “Behold, everything that you entrusted to your servants is completed.
17 Jer pokupivši novce što se naðoše u domu Gospodnjem, dadoše ih nastojnicima i poslenicima.
They have melted together the silver that was found in the house of the Lord. And it has been given to the overseers of the artisans and craftsmen for various works.
18 I još kaza Safan pisar caru govoreæi: knjigu mi dade Helkija sveštenik. I proèita je Safan caru.
After this, Hilkiah the priest gave to me this book.” And when he had read it in the presence of the king,
19 A kad car èu šta govori zakon, razdrije haljine svoje.
and he had heard the words of the law, he tore his garments.
20 I zapovjedi car Helkiji i Ahikamu sinu Safanovu i Avdonu sinu Mihejinu i Safanu pisaru i Asaji sluzi carevu, govoreæi:
And he instructed Hilkiah, and Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Abdon, the son of Micah, and also Shaphan, the scribe, and Asaiah, the servant of the king, saying:
21 Idite upitajte Gospoda za me i za ostatak u Izrailju i Judi radi rijeèi ove knjige što se naðe, jer je velik gnjev Gospodnji koji se izlio na nas zato što oci naši ne držaše rijeèi Gospodnje da èine sve onako kako je napisano u ovoj knjizi.
“Go, and pray to the Lord for me, and for the remnant of Israel and Judah, concerning all the words of this book, which has been found. For the great fury of the Lord has rained down upon us, because our fathers did not keep the words of the Lord, to do all that has been written in this volume.”
22 I tako otide Helkija i ljudi carevi k Oldi proroèici, ženi Saluma sina Tekuja sina Asre riznièara, a ona sjeðaše u Jerusalimu u drugom kraju, i govoriše s njom o tom.
Therefore, Hilkiah, and those who had been sent with him by the king, went to Huldah, the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the vestments. She was living in Jerusalem, in the second part. And they spoke to her the words which we explained above.
23 A ona im reèe: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: kažite èovjeku koji vas je poslao k meni:
And she responded to them: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Tell the man who sent you to me:
24 Ovako veli Gospod: evo pustiæu zlo na to mjesto i na stanovnike njegove, sve kletve napisane u knjizi, koju su proèitali caru Judinu.
Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will lead in evils over this place, and over its inhabitants, with all the curses that have been written in this book, which they have read before the king of Judah.
25 Zato što me ostaviše i kadiše drugim bogovima da bi me gnjevili svijem djelima ruku svojih, zato æe se izliti gnjev moj na to mjesto i neæe se ugasiti.
For they have abandoned me, and they have sacrificed to foreign gods, so that they provoked me to wrath by all the works of their hands. Therefore, my fury will rain down upon this place, and it will not be extinguished.
26 A caru Judinu koji vas je poslao da upitate Gospoda, ovako mu recite: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev za rijeèi koje si èuo:
To the king of Judah, who sent you to petition before the Lord, so shall you speak: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Since you listened to the words of this volume,
27 Što je odmeknulo srce tvoje i ponizio si se pred Bogom kad si èuo što je rekao za to mjesto i za stanovnike njegove, i ponizivši se preda mnom razdro si haljine svoje i plakao preda mnom, zato i ja usliših tebe, veli Gospod.
and your heart was softened, and you humbled yourself in the sight of God concerning these things which have been said against this place and against the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and since, revering my face, you have torn your garments, and have wept before me: I also have heeded you, says the Lord.
28 Evo, ja æu te pribrati k ocima tvojim, i na miru æeš biti pribran u grob svoj, i neæeš vidjeti svojim oèima zla koje æu pustiti na to mjesto i na stanovnike njegove. I kazaše to caru.
For now I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be brought into your sepulcher in peace. Neither shall your eyes see all the evil that I will lead in, over this place and over its inhabitants.” And so they took back to the king all that she had said.
29 Tada posla car te skupi sve starješine Judine i Jerusalimske.
And he, calling together all those greater by birth of Judah and Jerusalem,
30 I otide car u dom Gospodnji i svi ljudi iz zemlje Judine i Jerusalimljani, i sveštenici i Leviti i vas narod, malo i veliko, i proèita im sve rijeèi knjige zavjetne, koja se naðe u domu Gospodnjem.
ascended to the house of the Lord, united with all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests and the Levites, and all the people, from the least even to the greatest. And in their hearing, in the house of the Lord, the king read all the words of the volume.
31 I car stojeæi na svom mjestu zadade vjeru pred Gospodom da æe iæi za Gospodom i držati zapovijesti njegove i svjedoèanstva njegova i uredbe njegove svijem srcem i svom dušom svojom vršeæi rijeèi toga zavjeta napisane u toj knjizi.
And standing up at his tribunal, he struck a covenant before the Lord, so that he would walk after him, and would keep his precepts and testimonies and justifications, with his whole heart and with his whole soul, and so that he would do the things that were written in that volume, which he had read.
32 I kaza, te pristaše svi koji se naðoše u Jerusalimu i u plemenu Venijaminovu; i èinjahu Jerusalimljani po zavjetu Boga Boga otaca svojih.
Also, concerning this, he bound by oath all who had been found in Jerusalem and Benjamin. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem acted in accord with the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers.
33 I ukide Josija sve gadove po svijem krajevima sinova Izrailjevih, i uèini, te svi koji bijahu u Izrailju služahu Gospodu Bogu svojemu. Svega vijeka njegova ne otstupiše od Gospoda Boga otaca svojih.
Therefore, Josiah took away all the abominations from all the regions of the sons of Israel. And he caused all who were remaining in Israel to serve the Lord their God. During all his days, they did not withdraw from the Lord, the God of their fathers.
