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 began to reign; he reigned 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.
He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and walked in the ways of David his ancestor, and did not turn away either to the right or 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.
For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek after the God of David, his ancestor. In the twelfth year, he began to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, the Asherah poles, and the carved figures and the cast metal figures.
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;
The people broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; he cut apart the incense altars that were above them. He broke the Asherah poles and the carved figures, and the cast metal figures in pieces until they were dust. He scattered the dust on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
5 A kosti sveštenièke sažeže na oltarima njihovijem; i oèisti Judeju i Jerusalim;
He burned the bones of their priests on their altars. In this way, he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
6 Tako i gradove Manasijine i Jefremove i Simeunove i do Neftalima, i pustoši njihove unaokolo.
He did the same in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, all the way to Naphtali, and in the ruins that surrounded them.
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.
He broke down the altars, beat the Asherah poles and the carved images into powder, and cut apart all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel. Then 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.
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, after Josiah had cleansed the land and the temple, he sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, Maaseiah, the governor of the city, and Joah son of Joahaz the secretary, to repair the house of Yahweh 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;
They went to Hilkiah, the high priest, and entrusted to him the money that had been brought into the house of God, that the Levites, the guards of the doors, had gathered from Manasseh and Ephraim, from all the remnant of Israel, from all Judah and Benjamin, and from 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 entrusted the money to the men who supervised the work on the temple of Yahweh. These men paid the workers who repaired and restored the temple.
11 Davahu drvodjeljama i kamenarima da se kupuje kamenje tesano i drvo za grede i da se pobrvnaju kuæe koje bijahu razvalili carevi Judini.
They paid it to the carpenters and builders to buy cut stone and timber for braces, and to make beams for the structures that some kings of Judah had let fall apart.
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.
The men did the work faithfully. Their supervisors Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, from the sons of the Kohathites. Other Levites, all of whom were very good musicians, closely directed the workmen.
13 I bijahu nad nosiocima i nad svijem poslenicima u svakoj službi, i pisari i upravitelji i vratari bijahu Leviti.
These Levites were in charge of those who carried building material and all other men who worked in any way. There were also Levites who were secretaries, administrators, and gate guards.
14 I kad iznošahu novce donesene u dom Gospodnji, naðe Helkija sveštenik knjigu zakona Gospodnjega danoga preko Mojsija.
When they brought out the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of Yahweh that had been given through Moses.
15 I kaza Helkija Safanu pisaru i reèe: naðoh zakonik u domu Gospodnjem. I dade Helkija knjigu Safanu.
Hilkiah said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the house of Yahweh.” Hilkiah brought the book to Shaphan.
16 A Safan odnese knjigu caru i javi mu govoreæi: sluge tvoje rade sve što im je zapovjeðeno.
Shaphan took the book to the king, and also reported to him, saying, “Your servants are doing everything that has been entrusted to them.
17 Jer pokupivši novce što se naðoše u domu Gospodnjem, dadoše ih nastojnicima i poslenicima.
They have emptied out the money that was found in the house of Yahweh, and they gave it into the hand of the supervisors and to the workmen.”
18 I još kaza Safan pisar caru govoreæi: knjigu mi dade Helkija sveštenik. I proèita je Safan caru.
Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” Then Shaphan read in it to the king.
19 A kad car èu šta govori zakon, razdrije haljine svoje.
It came about that when the king had heard the words of the law, he tore his clothes.
20 I zapovjedi car Helkiji i Ahikamu sinu Safanovu i Avdonu sinu Mihejinu i Safanu pisaru i Asaji sluzi carevu, govoreæi:
The king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Abdon son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah, his own servant, 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 ask Yahweh's will for me, and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, because of the words of the book that has been found. For it is great, the anger of Yahweh that has been poured out on us. It is great, because our ancestors have not listened to the words of this book so as to obey all that was written in it.”
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.
So Hilkiah, and those whom the king had commanded, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum son of Tokhath son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (she lived in Jerusalem in the Second District), and they spoke with her in this way.
23 A ona im reèe: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: kažite èovjeku koji vas je poslao k meni:
She said to them, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says: 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.
'This is what Yahweh says: See, I am about to bring disaster on this place and on its inhabitants, all the curses that have been written in the book that 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.
This will happen because they have forsaken me and have burned incense to other gods, and they have provoked me to anger by all that their hands have made, therefore, my anger will be poured out on 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:
But to the king of Judah, who sent you to ask Yahweh what he should do, this is what you will say to him, 'Yahweh, the God of Israel says this: About the words that you heard,
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.
because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this place and its inhabitants, and because you have humbled yourself before me and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have listened to you—this is Yahweh's declaration—
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.
see, I will gather you to your ancestors. You will be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes will not see any of the disaster I will bring on this place and its inhabitants.'” The men took this message back to the king.
29 Tada posla car te skupi sve starješine Judine i Jerusalimske.
Then the king sent messengers and gathered together all the elders 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.
Then the king went up to the house of Yahweh, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, Levites, and all the people, from great to small. He then read in their hearing all the words of the book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of Yahweh.
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.
The king stood in his place 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 obey the words of the covenant that were written in this book.
32 I kaza, te pristaše svi koji se naðoše u Jerusalimu i u plemenu Venijaminovu; i èinjahu Jerusalimljani po zavjetu Boga Boga otaca svojih.
He caused all who were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand by the covenant. The inhabitants of Jerusalem acted in obedience to the covenant of God, the God of their ancestors.
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.
Josiah took away all the disgusting things from the lands that belonged to the people of Israel. He made everyone in Israel worship Yahweh, their God. For all of his days, they did not turn away from following Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.
