2 Kraljevima 22
1 Osam godina bijaše Josiji kad poèe carovati, i carova trideset i jednu godinu u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Jedida, kæi Adajeva, iz Voskata.
Josiah was eight when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for thirty-one years. His mother's name was Jedidah, daughter of Adaiah. She came from Bozkath.
2 On èinjaše što je pravo pred Gospodom, i hoðaše svijem putem Davida oca svojega i ne otstupaše ni nadesno ni nalijevo.
He did what was right in the Lord's sight, and followed all the ways of David his forefather—he did not deviate to the right or to the left.
3 A osamnaeste godine carovanja Josijina posla car Safana sina Azalije sina Mesulamova, pisara, u dom Gospodnji, govoreæi:
In the eighteenth year of his reign, Josiah sent Shaphan, son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, to the Lord's Temple. He said,
4 Idi ka Helkiji poglavaru sveštenièkom, neka izbroji novce donesene u dom Gospodnji, što su nakupili od naroda vratari.
“Go to Hilkiah the high priest and have him count the money the doorkeepers have collected from the people coming to the Lord's Temple.
5 I neka ih da poslenicima koji nadgledaju dom Gospodnji, pa neka daju poslenicima koji rade oko doma Gospodnjega da se opravi što je trošno u domu,
Then hand it over to those who are supervising the work on Lord's Temple, and have them pay the workmen doing the repairing of the Lord's Temple,
6 Drvodjeljama i kamenarima i zidarima, i da se kupuje drvo i kamen tesani da se opravi dom.
the carpenters, the builders and the masons. In addition have them purchase timber and cut stone to repair the Temple.
7 Ali da im se ne traže raèuni od novaca koji im se dadu, jer æe vjerno raditi.
Don't ask for any accounts from the men who received the money because they deal honestly.”
8 Tada reèe Helkija poglavar sveštenièki Safanu pisaru: naðoh zakonik u domu Gospodnjem. I Helkija dade knjigu Safanu, i on je proèita.
Hilkiah the high priest told Shaphan the scribe, “I've found the Book of the Law in the Lord's Temple.” He gave it to Shaphan who read it.
9 A Safan pisar otide k caru, i javi caru govoreæi: pokupiše sluge tvoje novce što se naðoše u domu, predaše ih poslenicima koji nadgledaju dom Gospodnji.
Shaphan the scribe went to the king and to give him a report, saying, “Your officials have paid out the money that was in the Lord's Temple and have handed it over to those appointed to supervise the work at the Lord's Temple.”
10 I kaza Safan pisar caru govoreæi: knjigu mi dade Helkija sveštenik. I proèita je Safan caru.
Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” Shaphan read it to the king.
11 A kad car èu rijeèi u zakoniku, razdrije haljine svoje.
When the king heard what was in the book of the Law, he tore his clothes.
12 I zapovjedi car Helkiji svešteniku i Ahikamu sinu Safanovu i Ahvoru sinu Mihejinu i Safanu pisaru i Asaji sluzi carevu, govoreæi:
Then he gave orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, son of Shaphan, Acbor, son of Micaiah, Shaphan, the scribe, and Asaiah the king's assistant, saying,
13 Idite, upitajte Gospoda za me i za narod i za svega Judu radi rijeèi ove knjige što se naðe; jer je velik gnjev Gospodnji koji se raspalio na nas zato što oci naši ne slušaše rijeèi ove knjige da èine sve onako kako nam je napisano.
“Go and talk to the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all of Judah, about what is said in the book that's been found. For the Lord must be really angry with us, because our forefathers have not obeyed the Lord's instructions in this book; they have not been doing what is written there for us to do.”
14 I tako otide Helkija sveštenik i Ahikam i Ahvor i Safan i Asaja k proroèici Oldi ženi Saluma sina Tekuja sina Arasa riznièara; a ona stajaše u Jerusalimu u drugom kraju; i govoriše s njom.
Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Acbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went and spoke to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, custodian of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the city's second quarter.
15 A ona im reèe: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: kažite èovjeku koji vas je poslao k meni:
She told them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me,
16 Ovako veli Gospod: evo pustiæu zlo na to mjesto i na stanovnike njegove, sve što govori knjiga koju je proèitao car Judin,
this is what the Lord says: I am about to bring disaster down on this place and on its people, in accordance with everything written in the book that has been read to the king of Judah.
17 Zato što me ostaviše, i kadiše drugim bogovima da bi me gnjevili svijem djelima ruku svojih; zato se gnjev moj raspalio na to mjesto, i neæe se ugasiti.
They have abandoned me and offered sacrifices to other gods, making me angry by everything they've done. My anger will be poured out upon this place and will not be stopped.
18 A caru Judinu, koji vas je poslao da upitate Gospoda, ovako mu kažite: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev za rijeèi koje si èuo:
But tell the king of Judah who sent you to ask the Lord, tell him this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: As for what you heard read to you—
19 Što je umeknulo srce tvoje, i ponizio si se pred Gospodom kad si èuo šta sam govorio za to mjesto i za stanovnike njegove da æe biti pustoš i prokletinja, i što si razdro haljine svoje i plakao preda mnom, zato i ja usliših tebe, veli Gospod.
because you were receptive and repentant before God when you heard his warnings against this place and against its people—that would become desolate and a curse—and because you have torn your clothes and wept before me, I have also heard you, declares the Lord.
20 Zato, evo, ja æu te pribrati k ocima tvojim i na miru æeš biti pribran u grob svoj, i neæeš oèima svojim vidjeti zla koje æu pustiti na to mjesto. I kazaše to caru.
All this will not happen until after you have died, and you will die in peace. You will not see all the disaster that I'm going to bring down on this place.” They went back to the king and gave him her response.
