2 Kraljevima 23
1 Tada posla car, te se skupiše k njemu sve starješine Judine i Jerusalimske.
Then the king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
2 I otide car u dom Gospodnji i s njim svi ljudi iz zemlje Judine i svi Jerusalimljani i sveštenici i proroci i sav narod, malo i veliko, i proèita im sve rijeèi knjige zavjetne, koja se naðe u domu Gospodnjem.
And he went up to the house of the LORD with all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, as well as the priests and the prophets—all the people small and great—and in their hearing he read all the words of the Book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of the LORD.
3 I car stojeæi kod stupa uèini zavjet pred Gospodom da æe oni iæi za Gospodom i držati zapovijesti njegove i svjedoèanstva njegova i uredbe njegove svijem srcem i svom dušom, vršeæi rijeèi toga zavjeta napisane u toj knjizi. I sav narod prista na zavjet.
So the king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD to follow the LORD and to keep His commandments, decrees, and statutes with all his heart and all his soul, and to carry out the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people entered into the covenant.
4 Tada zapovjedi car Helkiji poglavaru sveštenièkom i sveštenicima drugoga reda i onima koji èuvahu vrata, da iznesu iz crkve Gospodnje sve stvari koje bijahu naèinjene Valu i gaju i svoj vojsci nebeskoj; i spali ih iza Jerusalima u polju Kedronskom, i odnese pepeo od njih u Vetilj.
Then the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the priests second in rank, and the doorkeepers to remove from the temple of the LORD all the articles made for Baal, Asherah, and all the host of heaven. And he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron and carried their ashes to Bethel.
5 I svrže sveštenike idolske koje bijahu postavili carevi Judini da kade po visinama u gradovima Judinijem i oko Jerusalima; tako i one koji kaðahu Valu, suncu i mjesecu i zvijezdama i svoj vojsci nebeskoj.
Josiah also did away with the idolatrous priests ordained by the kings of Judah to burn incense on the high places of the cities of Judah and in the places all around Jerusalem—those who had burned incense to Baal, to the sun and moon, to the constellations, and to all the host of heaven.
6 I iznese gaj iz doma Gospodnjega iza Jerusalima na potok Kedron, i spali ga na potoku Kedronu i satr u prah, i prosu prah na grobove sinova narodnijeh.
He brought the Asherah pole from the house of the LORD to the Kidron Valley outside Jerusalem, and there he burned it, ground it to powder, and threw its dust on the graves of the common people.
7 I pokvari kuæe kurvarske koje bijahu u domu Gospodnjem, u kojima žene tkahu zastiraèe za gaj.
He also tore down the quarters of the male shrine prostitutes that were in the house of the LORD, where the women had woven tapestries for Asherah.
8 I dovedavši sve sveštenike iz gradova Judinijeh oskvrni visine gdje kaðahu sveštenici od Geve do Virsaveje, i pokvari visine na vratima, i koja bijaše na ulasku na vratima Isusa zapovjednika gradskoga nalijevo od vrata gradskih.
Then Josiah brought all the priests from the cities of Judah and desecrated the high places, from Geba to Beersheba, where the priests had burned incense. He tore down the high places of the gates at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which was to the left of the city gate.
9 Ali sveštenici onijeh visina ne pristupahu k oltaru Gospodnjemu u Jerusalimu, nego jeðahu prijesne hljebove meðu braæom svojom.
Although the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, they ate unleavened bread with their fellow priests.
10 Oskvrni i Tofet, koji bijaše u dolini sinova Enomovijeh, da ne bi niko više vodio sina svojega ni kæeri svoje kroz oganj Molohu.
He also desecrated Topheth in the Valley of Ben-hinnom so that no one could sacrifice his son or daughter in the fire to Molech.
11 I ukloni konje koje bijahu postavili carevi Judini suncu od ulaska u dom Gospodnji do kuæe Natan-Meleha dvoranina, koja bijaše u Farurimu; a kola sunèana sažeže ognjem.
And he removed from the entrance to the house of the LORD the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun. They were in the court near the chamber of an official named Nathan-melech. And Josiah burned up the chariots of the sun.
12 I oltare na krovu sobe Ahazove, koje bijahu naèinili carevi Judini, i oltare koje bijaše naèinio Manasija u oba trijema doma Gospodnjega, pokvari car, i uzevši ih odande baci prah od njih u potok Kedron.
He pulled down the altars that the kings of Judah had set up on the roof near the upper chamber of Ahaz, and the altars that Manasseh had set up in the two courtyards of the house of the LORD. The king pulverized them there and threw their dust into the Kidron Valley.
13 I visine prema Jerusalimu s desne strane na gori Maslinskoj, koje bijaše naèinio Solomun car Izrailjev Astaroti gadu Sidonskom i Hemosu gadu Moavskom i Melhomu gadu sinova Amonovijeh, oskvrni car.
The king also desecrated the high places east of Jerusalem, to the south of the Mount of Corruption, which King Solomon of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
14 I izlomi likove i isijeèe gajeve, i mjesta njihova napuni kostiju ljudskih.
He smashed the sacred pillars to pieces, cut down the Asherah poles, and covered the sites with human bones.
15 I oltar, koji bješe u Vetilju, visinu, koju bješe naèinio Jerovoam sin Navatov, koji navede na grijeh Izrailja, i oltar i visinu pokvari, i spalivši visinu satr je u prah, i spali gaj.
He even pulled down the altar at Bethel, the high place set up by Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin. Then he burned the high place, ground it to powder, and burned the Asherah pole.
16 I obazrevši se Josija vidje grobove koji bijahu ondje na gori, i posla te izvadiše kosti iz grobova, i sažeže ih na oltaru i oskvrni ga, po rijeèi Gospodnjoj, koju reèe èovjek Božji, koji naprijed kaza te stvari.
And as Josiah turned, he saw the tombs there on the hillside, and he sent someone to take the bones out of the tombs, and he burned them on the altar to defile it, according to the word of the LORD proclaimed by the man of God who had foretold these things.
17 I reèe: kakav je ono spomenik što vidim? Rekoše mu graðani: ono je grob èovjeka Božijega koji doðe iz Jude i naprijed kaza to što si uèinio na oltaru u Vetilju.
Then the king asked, “What is this monument I see?” And the men of the city replied, “It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and pronounced these things that you have done to the altar of Bethel.”
18 A on reèe: ostavite ga, niko da mu ne kreæe kosti. Tako se saèuvaše kosti njegove s kostima onoga proroka koji doðe iz Samarije.
“Let him rest,” said Josiah. “Do not let anyone disturb his bones.” So they left his bones undisturbed, along with those of the prophet who had come from Samaria.
19 I sve domove visina po gradovima Samarijskim koje naèiniše carevi Izrailjevi gnjeveæi Gospoda, pokvari Josija; i uèini s njima sve onako kako uèini u Vetilju.
Just as Josiah had done at Bethel, so also in the cities of Samaria he removed all the shrines of the high places set up by the kings of Israel who had provoked the LORD to anger.
20 I pokla sve sveštenike visina, koji bijahu onuda, na oltarima, i sažeže kosti ljudske na njima; potom se vrati u Jerusalim.
On the altars he slaughtered all the priests of the high places, and he burned human bones on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
21 Tada zapovjedi car svemu narodu govoreæi: praznujte pashu Gospodu Bogu svojemu, kao što piše u knjizi zavjetnoj.
The king commanded all the people, “Keep the Passover of the LORD your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.”
22 Jer ne bi praznovana ovako pasha od vremena sudija koje sudiše Izrailju i za sve vrijeme careva Izrailjevijeh i careva Judinijeh.
No such Passover had been observed from the days of the judges who had governed Israel through all the days of the kings of Israel and Judah.
23 Kao što bi osamnaeste godine cara Josije praznovana pasha Gospodu u Jerusalimu.
But in the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign, this Passover was observed to the LORD in Jerusalem.
24 I one što se dogovaraju s duhovima i vraèare, i likove i gadne bogove i sve gadove koji se viðahu u zemlji Judinoj i u Jerusalimu istrijebi Josija da izvrši rijeèi zakona napisane u knjizi koju naðe Helkija sveštenik u domu Gospodnjem.
Furthermore, Josiah removed the mediums and spiritists, the household gods and idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. He did this to carry out the words of the law written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had found in the house of the LORD.
25 Ni prije njega ne bješe takvoga cara, koji bi se obratio ka Gospodu svijem srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom i svom snagom svojom, sasvijem po zakonu Mojsijevu, niti poslije njega nasta taki kao on.
Neither before nor after Josiah was there any king like him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, according to all the Law of Moses.
26 Ali se Gospod ne povrati od žestine velikoga gnjeva svojega, kojom se bješe raspalio gnjev njegov na Judu za sve draženje kojim ga bješe dražio Manasija.
Nevertheless, the LORD did not turn away from the fury of His burning anger, which was kindled against Judah because of all that Manasseh had done to provoke Him to anger.
27 I reèe Gospod: i Judu æu odbaciti od sebe kao što sam odbacio Izrailja, i grad æu ovaj odbaciti, koji sam izabrao, Jerusalim, i dom, za koji rekoh: tu æe biti ime moje.
For the LORD had said, “I will remove Judah from My sight, just as I removed Israel. I will reject this city Jerusalem, which I chose, and the temple of which I said, ‘My Name shall be there.’”
28 A ostala djela Josijina i sve što je èinio, nije li zapisano u dnevniku careva Judinijeh?
As for the rest of the acts of Josiah, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
29 U njegovo vrijeme izide Faraon Nehaon car Misirski na cara Asirskoga k rijeci Efratu, i car Josija izide preda nj, a on kako ga vidje ubi ga u Megidonu.
At the end of Josiah’s reign, Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt marched up to help the king of Assyria at the Euphrates River. King Josiah went out to confront him, but Neco faced him and killed him at Megiddo.
30 I mrtva metnuše ga sluge njegove na kola, i odvezoše ga iz Megidona u Jerusalim, i pogreboše ga u grobu njegovu; i narod zemaljski uze Joahaza sina Josijina, i pomazaše ga i zacariše ga na mjesto oca njegova.
From Megiddo his servants carried his body in a chariot, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him king in place of his father.
31 Dvadeset i tri godine bješe Joahazu kad poèe carovati, i carova tri mjeseca u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Amutala, kæi Jeremijina, iz Livne.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.
32 On èinjaše što je zlo pred Gospodom sasvijem kako su èinili oci njegovi.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his fathers had done.
33 I sveza ga Faraon Nehaon u Rivli u zemlji Ematskoj da više ne caruje u Jerusalimu, i oglobi zemlju sto talanata srebra i talanat zlata.
And Pharaoh Neco imprisoned Jehoahaz at Riblah in the land of Hamath so that he could not reign in Jerusalem, and he imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
34 A carem postavi Faraon Nehaon Elijakima sina Josijina na mjesto Josije oca njegova, i predje mu ime Joakim; a Joahaza uze i otide u Misir, a on umrije ondje.
Then Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim son of Josiah king in place of his father Josiah, and he changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt, where he died.
35 A ono srebro i zlato dade Joakim Faraonu razrezavši na zemlju da bi dao novce po zapovijesti Faraonovoj, od svakoga uzimajuæi kako bješe cijenjen, srebro i zlato po narodu u zemlji, da da Faraonu Nehaonu.
So Jehoiakim paid the silver and gold to Pharaoh Neco, but to meet Pharaoh’s demand he taxed the land and exacted the silver and the gold from the people, each according to his wealth.
36 Dvadeset i pet godina bijaše Joakimu kad poèe carovati, i carova jedanaest godina u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Zevuda, kæi Fedajeva, iz Rume.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Zebidah daughter of Pedaiah; she was from Rumah.
37 A on èinjaše što je zlo pred Gospodom sasvijem kako su èinili oci njegovi.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his fathers had done.
