2 Kraljevima 23

1 Tada posla car, te se skupiše k njemu sve starješine Judine i Jerusalimske.

And the king sends, and they gather all [the] elderly of Judah and Jerusalem to him,

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 the king goes up to the house of YHWH, and every man of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, from small to great, and he reads in their ears all the words of the Scroll of the Covenant that is found in the house of YHWH.

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.

And the king stands by the pillar, and makes the covenant before YHWH, to walk after YHWH, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all the heart, and with all the soul, to establish the words of this covenant that are written on this scroll, and all the people stand in 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.

And the king commands Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out from the temple of YHWH all the vessels that are made for Ba‘al, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of the heavens, and he burns them at the outside of Jerusalem, in the fields of Kidron, and has carried their ashes to Beth-El.

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.

And he has caused to cease the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah have appointed (and they make incense in high places, in cities of Judah and outskirts of Jerusalem), and those making incense to Ba‘al, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, and to all the host of the heavens.

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.

And he brings out the Asherah from the house of YHWH to the outside of Jerusalem, to the Brook of Kidron, and burns it at the Brook of Kidron, and beats it small to dust, and casts its dust on the grave of the sons of the people.

7 I pokvari kuæe kurvarske koje bijahu u domu Gospodnjem, u kojima žene tkahu zastiraèe za gaj.

And he breaks down the houses of the whoremongers that [are] in the house of YHWH, where the women are weaving houses for the 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.

And he brings in all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiles the high places where the priests have made incense, from Geba to Beer-Sheba, and has broken down the high places of the gates that [are] at the opening of the Gate of Joshua, head of the city, that [is] on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city;

9 Ali sveštenici onijeh visina ne pristupahu k oltaru Gospodnjemu u Jerusalimu, nego jeðahu prijesne hljebove meðu braæom svojom.

only, the priests of the high places do not come up to the altar of YHWH in Jerusalem, but they have eaten unleavened things in the midst of their brothers.

10 Oskvrni i Tofet, koji bijaše u dolini sinova Enomovijeh, da ne bi niko više vodio sina svojega ni kæeri svoje kroz oganj Molohu.

And he has defiled Topheth that [is] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, so that no man causes his son and his daughter to pass over through 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 causes to cease the horses that the kings of Judah have given to the sun from the entering in of the house of YHWH, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech the eunuch, that [is] in the outskirts; and he has burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

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.

And the altars that [are] on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, that the kings of Judah made, and the altars that Manasseh made in the two courts of the house of YHWH, the king has broken down, and removes from there, and has cast their dust into the Brook of Kidron.

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.

And the high places that [are] on the front of Jerusalem, that [are] on the right of the Mount of Corruption, that Solomon king of Israel had built to Ashtoreth, abomination of the Zidonians, and Chemosh, abomination of Moab, and to Milcom, abomination of the sons of Ammon, the king has defiled.

14 I izlomi likove i isijeèe gajeve, i mjesta njihova napuni kostiju ljudskih.

And he has broken the standing-pillars in pieces, and cuts down the Asherim, and fills their place with bones of men;

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.

and also the altar that [is] in Beth-El, the high place that Jeroboam son of Nebat made, by which he made Israel sin, both that altar and the high place he has broken down, and burns the high place—he has beat it small to dust, and has burned the Asherah.

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 Josiah turns, and sees the graves that [are] there on the mountain, and sends and takes the bones out of the graves, and burns [them] on the altar, and defiles it, according to the word of YHWH that the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed 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.

And he says, “What [is] this sign that I see?” And the men of the city say to him, “The grave of the man of God who has come from Judah, and proclaims these things that you have done concerning the altar of Beth-El.”

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.

And he says, “Leave him alone, let no man touch his bones”; and they let his bones escape with the bones of the prophet who came out of 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.

And also all the houses of the high places that [are] in the cities of Samaria, that the kings of Israel made to provoke to anger, Josiah has turned aside, and does to them according to all the deeds that he did in Beth-El.

20 I pokla sve sveštenike visina, koji bijahu onuda, na oltarima, i sažeže kosti ljudske na njima; potom se vrati u Jerusalim.

And he slays all the priests of the high places who [are] there by the altars, and burns the bones of man on them, and turns back to Jerusalem.

21 Tada zapovjedi car svemu narodu govoreæi: praznujte pashu Gospodu Bogu svojemu, kao što piše u knjizi zavjetnoj.

And the king commands the whole of the people, saying, “Make a Passover to your God YHWH, as it is written on this scroll 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.

Surely there has not been made like this Passover from the days of the ones judging who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Judah;

23 Kao što bi osamnaeste godine cara Josije praznovana pasha Gospodu u Jerusalimu.

but in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover has been made to YHWH 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.

And also, those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah, and in Jerusalem, Josiah has put away, in order to establish the words of the Law that are written on the scroll that Hilkiah the priest has found in the house of YHWH.

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.

And like him there has not been before him a king who turned back to YHWH with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses, and after him there has none risen like him.

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.

Only, YHWH has not turned back from the fierceness of His great anger with which His anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh provoked him,

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.

and YHWH says, “I also turn Judah aside from my presence, as I turned Israel aside, and I have rejected this city that I have chosen—Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My Name is there.”

28 A ostala djela Josijina i sve što je èinio, nije li zapisano u dnevniku careva Judinijeh?

And the rest of the matters of Josiah and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll 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.

In his days Pharaoh Necho king of Egypt has come up against the king of Asshur, by the Euphrates River, and King Josiah goes out to meet him, and [Pharaoh Necho] puts him to death in Megiddo when he sees him.

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.

And his servants cause him to ride dying from Megiddo, and bring him to Jerusalem, and bury him in his own grave, and the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and anoint him, and cause him to reign instead 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 [is] a son of twenty-three years in his reigning, and he has reigned three months in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,

32 On èinjaše što je zlo pred Gospodom sasvijem kako su èinili oci njegovi.

and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his fathers did,

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 Necho binds him in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, from reigning in Jerusalem, and he puts a fine on the land—one 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.

And Pharaoh Necho causes Eliakim son of Josiah to reign instead of his father Josiah, and turns his name to Jehoiakim, and he has taken Jehoahaz away, and he comes to Egypt, and dies there.

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.

And Jehoiakim has given the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; only he valued the land to give the silver by the command of Pharaoh; from each, according to his valuation, he exacted the silver and the gold, from the people of the land, to give to Pharaoh Necho.

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 [is] a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned eleven years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah,

37 A on èinjaše što je zlo pred Gospodom sasvijem kako su èinili oci njegovi.

and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his fathers did.
