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, and 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 that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, and walked in the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn away to the right hand 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 yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, the Asherah poles, the engraved images, and the molten 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;
They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; and he cut down the incense altars that were on high above them. He broke the Asherah poles, the engraved images, and the molten images in pieces, made dust of them, and scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
5 A kosti sveštenièke sažeže na oltarima njihovijem; i oèisti Judeju i Jerusalim;
He burnt the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
6 Tako i gradove Manasijine i Jefremove i Simeunove i do Neftalima, i pustoši njihove unaokolo.
He did this in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, around in their ruins.
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 engraved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel, then 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, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder 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;
They came to Hilkiah the high priest and delivered the money that was brought into God’s house, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had gathered from the hands of Manasseh, Ephraim, of all the remnant of Israel, of all Judah and Benjamin, and of 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 the workmen who had the oversight of the LORD’s house; and the workmen who laboured in the LORD’s house gave it to mend and repair the house.
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 gave it to the carpenters and to the builders to buy cut stone and timber for couplings, and to make beams for 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.
The men did the work faithfully. Their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to give direction; and others of the Levites, who were all skilful with musical instruments.
13 I bijahu nad nosiocima i nad svijem poslenicima u svakoj službi, i pisari i upravitelji i vratari bijahu Leviti.
Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and directed all who did the work in every kind of service. Of the Levites, there were scribes, officials, and gatekeepers.
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 LORD’s house, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the LORD’s law given by Moses.
15 I kaza Helkija Safanu pisaru i reèe: naðoh zakonik u domu Gospodnjem. I dade Helkija knjigu Safanu.
Hilkiah answered Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the LORD’s house.” So Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.
16 A Safan odnese knjigu caru i javi mu govoreæi: sluge tvoje rade sve što im je zapovjeðeno.
Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought back word to the king, saying, “All that was committed to your servants, they are doing.
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 LORD’s house, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers and into the hand of 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, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book.” Shaphan read from it to the king.
19 A kad car èu šta govori zakon, razdrije haljine svoje.
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 the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s 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 enquire of the LORD for me, and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the LORD’s wrath that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the LORD’s word, to do according to all that is written in this book.”
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 the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter), and they spoke to her to that effect.
23 A ona im reèe: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: kažite èovjeku koji vas je poslao k meni:
She said to them, “The LORD, 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.
“The LORD says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the curses that are written in the 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.
Because they have forsaken me, and have burnt incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands, therefore my wrath is poured out on this place, and it will not be quenched.’”’
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 enquire of the LORD, you shall tell him this, ‘The LORD, the God of Israel says: “About the words which you have 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 against its inhabitants, and have humbled yourself before me, and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard 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.
“Behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes won’t see all the evil that I will bring on this place and on its inhabitants.”’” They brought back this message to the king.
29 Tada posla car te skupi sve starješine Judine i Jerusalimske.
Then the king sent 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.
The king went up to the LORD’s house with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem—the priests, the Levites, and all the people, both great and small—and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the LORD’s house.
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 the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, his testimonies, and his statutes with all his heart and with all his soul, to perform 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. The inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, 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.
Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that belonged to the children of Israel, and made all who were found in Israel to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. All his days they didn’t depart from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
