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.
Eight years old, was Josiah when he began to reign, and, thirty-one years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, this mother’s name, was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah, of Bozkath.
2 On èinjaše što je pravo pred Gospodom, i hoðaše svijem putem Davida oca svojega i ne otstupaše ni nadesno ni nalijevo.
And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, —and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside, to the right hand or to the left.
3 A osamnaeste godine carovanja Josijina posla car Safana sina Azalije sina Mesulamova, pisara, u dom Gospodnji, govoreæi:
And it came to pass, in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan son of Azaliah son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of Yahweh, saying—
4 Idi ka Helkiji poglavaru sveštenièkom, neka izbroji novce donesene u dom Gospodnji, što su nakupili od naroda vratari.
Go up unto Hilkiah, the high priest, that he pour out the silver that hath been brought into the house of Yahweh, —which the keepers of the entrance-hall have gathered from the people,
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,
that they may give it into the hand of the doers of the work, who have oversight of the house of Yahweh, that they may give it to the doers of the work, who are in the house of Yahweh, to repair the breaches of the house;
6 Drvodjeljama i kamenarima i zidarima, i da se kupuje drvo i kamen tesani da se opravi dom.
to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, —and to buy timber, and hewn stones, for repairing the house.
7 Ali da im se ne traže raèuni od novaca koji im se dadu, jer æe vjerno raditi.
Howbeit there used to be no reckoning made with them, as to the silver that was given into their hand, —because, with faithfulness, were they dealing.
8 Tada reèe Helkija poglavar sveštenièki Safanu pisaru: naðoh zakonik u domu Gospodnjem. I Helkija dade knjigu Safanu, i on je proèita.
Then said Hilkiah the high priest, unto Shaphan the scribe—The book of the law, have I found, in the house of Yahweh. So Hilkiah delivered the book unto Shaphan, and he 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.
Then came Shaphan the scribe unto the king, and brought the king word again, —and said—Thy servants have poured out the silver that was found in the house, and have delivered it unto the hand of the doers of the work, who have oversight of the house of Yahweh.
10 I kaza Safan pisar caru govoreæi: knjigu mi dade Helkija sveštenik. I proèita je Safan caru.
Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying—A book, hath Hilkiah the priest delivered unto me. And Shaphan read it before the king.
11 A kad car èu rijeèi u zakoniku, razdrije haljine svoje.
And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.
12 I zapovjedi car Helkiji svešteniku i Ahikamu sinu Safanovu i Ahvoru sinu Mihejinu i Safanu pisaru i Asaji sluzi carevu, govoreæi:
And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Achbor son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, 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 ye—enquire of Yahweh, for me and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book which hath been found, —for, great, is the wrath of Yahweh, in that it hath fired up against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according to all which is written concerning us.
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.
So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, son of Harhas keeper of the vestments, she having her dwelling in Jerusalem, in the new city, —and they spake unto her.
15 A ona im reèe: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: kažite èovjeku koji vas je poslao k meni:
And she said unto them, Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Say ye unto the man who hath sent you unto me:
16 Ovako veli Gospod: evo pustiæu zlo na to mjesto i na stanovnike njegove, sve što govori knjiga koju je proèitao car Judin,
Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! about to bring calamity upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, —all the words of the book, which, the king of Judah, hath read:
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.
Because they have forsaken me, and burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger, with all the workmanship of their hands; and so my wrath shall fire up against this place, and shall not be quenched:
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, unto the king of Judah, who hath sent you to enquire of Yahweh, thus, shall ye say unto him, —Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard:
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, tender, was thy heart, and thou didst humble thyself before Yahweh when thou heardest what I had spoken against this place and against the inhabitants thereof—that they should become a desolation and a curse, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me, therefore also, I, have hearkened—declareth Yahweh.
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.
For this cause, behold me! about to gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered unto thy graves, in peace, and so thine eyes shall not look upon all the misfortune which I am about to bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
