2 Књига о царевима 23
1 Тада посла цар, те се скупише к њему све старешине Јудине и јерусалимске.
The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
2 И отиде цар у дом Господњи и с њим сви људи из земљи Јудине и сви Јерусалимљани и свештеници и пророци и сав народ, мало и велико, и прочита им све речи књиге заветне, која се нађе у дому Господњем.
The king went up to the house of Jehovah, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the scroll of the covenant which was found in the house of Jehovah.
3 И цар стојећи код ступа учини завет пред Господом да ће они ићи за Господом и држати заповести Његове и сведочанства Његова и уредбе Његове свим срцем и свом душом, вршећи речи тог завета написане у тој књизи. И сав народ приста на завет.
The king stood by the pillar, and made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this scroll; and all the people stood to the covenant.
4 Тада заповеди цар Хелкији, поглавару свештеничком и свештеницима другог реда и онима који чуваху врата, да изнесу из цркве Господње све ствари које беху начињене Валу и гају и свој војсци небеској; и спали их иза Јерусалима у пољу кедронском, и однесе пепео од њих у Ветиљ.
The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring forth out of Jehovah's temple all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of heaven, and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.
5 И сврже свештенике идолске које беху поставили цареви Јудини да каде по висинама у градовима Јудиним и око Јерусалима тако и оне који кађаху Валу, сунцу и месецу и звездама и свој војсци небеској.
He put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places around Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
6 И изнесе гај из дома Господњег иза Јерусалима на поток Кедрон, и спали га на потоку Кедрону и сатре у прах, и просу прах на гробове синова народних.
He brought out the Asherah from the house of Jehovah, outside of Jerusalem, to the Kidron Valley, and burned it in the Kidron Valley, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on the graves of the common people.
7 И поквари куће курварске које беху у дому Господњем, у којима жене ткаху застираче за гај.
He broke down the living quarters of the temple prostitutes, that were in the house of Jehovah, where the women wove coverings for the Asherah.
8 И доведавши све свештенике из градова Јудиних оскврни висине где кађаху свештеници од Геве до Вирсавеје, и поквари висине на вратима, и која беше на уласку на вратима Исуса заповедника градског налево од врата градских.
He brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.
9 Али свештеници оних висина не приступаху к олтару Господњем у Јерусалиму, него јеђаху пресне хлебове међу браћом својом.
Nevertheless the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of Jehovah in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brothers.
10 Оскврни и Тофет, који беше у долини синова Еномових, да не би нико више водио сина свог ни кћери своје кроз огањ Молоху.
He defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
11 И уклони коње које беху поставили цареви Јудини сунцу од уласка у дом Господњи до куће Натан-Мелеха дворанина, која беше у Фаруриму; а кола сунчана сажеже огњем.
He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of Jehovah, by the room of Nathan Melech the officer, who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
12 И олтаре на крову собе Ахазове, које беху начинили цареви Јудини, и олтаре које беше начинио Манасија у оба трема дома Господњег, поквари цар, и узевши их оданде баци прах од њих у поток Кедрон.
The king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of Jehovah, and beat them down from there, and cast their dust into the Kidron Valley.
13 И висине према Јерусалиму с десне стране на гори Маслинској, које беше начинио Соломун, цар Израиљев Астароти гаду сидонском и Хемосу гаду моавском и Мелхому гаду синова Амонових, оскврни цар.
The king defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the people of Ammon.
14 И изломи ликове и исече гајеве, и места њихова напуни костију људских.
He broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men.
15 И олтар, који беше у Ветиљу, висину, коју беше начинио Јеровоам, син Наватов, који наведе на грех Израиља, и олтар и висину поквари, и спаливши висину сатре је у прах, и спали гај.
Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.
16 И обазревши се Јосија виде гробове који беху онде на гори, и посла те извадише кости из гробова, и сажеже их на олтару и оскврни га, по речи Господњој, коју рече човек Божји, који напред каза те ствари.
And as Josiah turned himself, he saw the tombs that were there in the mountain. And he sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burned them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of Jehovah which the man of God proclaimed, when Jeroboam stood by the altar at the feast. And he turned and raised his eyes to the tomb of the man of God who proclaimed these things.
17 И рече: Какав је оно споменик што видим? Рекоше му грађани: Оно је гроб човека Божијег који дође из Јуде и напред каза то што си учинио на олтару у Ветиљу.
Then he said, "What monument is that which I see?" The men of the city told him, "It is the tomb of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of Bethel."
18 А он рече: Оставите га, нико да му не креће кости. Тако се сачуваше кости његове с костима оног пророка који дође из Самарије.
He said, "Let him be. Let no man move his bones." So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.
19 И све домове висина по градовима самаријским које начинише цареви Израиљеви гневећи Господа, поквари Јосија; и учини с њима све онако како учини у Ветиљу.
All the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke Jehovah to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
20 И покла све свештенике висина, који беху онуда, на олтарима, и сажеже кости људске на њима; потом се врати у Јерусалим.
He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burned men's bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem.
21 Тада заповеди цар свему народу говорећи: Празнујте пасху Господу Богу свом, као што пише у књизи заветној.
The king commanded all the people, saying, "Keep the Passover to Jehovah your God, as it is written in this scroll of the covenant."
22 Јер не би празнована овако пасха од времена судија које судише Израиљу и за све време царева Израиљевих и царева Јудиних.
Surely there was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
23 Као што би осамнаесте године цара Јосије празнована пасха Господу у Јерусалиму.
but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this Passover kept to Jehovah in Jerusalem.
24 И оне што се договарају с духовима и врачаре, и ликове и гадне богове и све гадове који се виђаху у земљи Јудиној и у Јерусалиму истреби Јосија да изврши речи закона написане у књизи коју нађе Хелкија свештеник у дому Господњем.
Moreover Josiah removed the mediums, and spiritists, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the scroll that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of Jehovah.
25 Ни пре њега не беше таквог цара, који би се обратио ка Господу свим срцем својим и свом душом својом и свом снагом својом, сасвим по закону Мојсијевом, нити после њега наста такав као он.
Like him was there no king before him, who turned to Jehovah with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
26 Али се Господ не поврати од жестине великог гнева свог, којом се беше распалио гнев Његов на Јуду за све дражење којим Га беше дражио Манасија.
Notwithstanding, Jehovah did not turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocation with which Manasseh had provoked him.
27 И рече Господ: и Јуду ћу одбацити од себе као што сам одбацио Израиља, и град ћу овај одбацити, који сам изабрао, Јерусалим, и дом, за који рекох: Ту ће бити име моје.
Jehovah said, "I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, 'My name shall be there.'"
28 А остала дела Јосијина и све што је чинио, није ли записано у дневнику царева Јудиних?
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
29 У његово време изађе Фараон Нехаон, цар мисирски на цара асирског к реци Ефрату, и цар Јосија изађе преда њ, а он како га виде уби га у Мегидону.
In his days Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Perath: and king Josiah went against him; and Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
30 И мртвог метнуше га слуге његове на кола, и одвезоше га из Мегидона у Јерусалим, и погребоше га у гробу његовом; и народ земаљски узе Јоахаза, сина Јосијиног, и помазаше га и зацарише га на место оца његовог.
His servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's place.
31 Двадесет и три године беше Јоахазу кад поче царовати, и царова три месеца у Јерусалиму. Матери му беше име Амутала, кћи Јеремијина, из Ливне.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
32 Он чињаше што је зло пред Господом сасвим како су чинили оци његови.
He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.
33 И свеза га Фараон Нехаон у Ривли, у земљи ематској да више не царује у Јерусалиму, и оглоби земљу сто таланата сребра и таланат злата.
Pharaoh Necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of one hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
34 А царем постави Фараон Нехаон Елијакима, сина Јосијиног на место Јосије оца његовог, и преде му име Јоаким; а Јоахаза узе и отиде у Мисир, а он умре онде.
Pharaoh Necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim: but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and died there.
35 А оно сребро и злато даде Јоаким Фараону разрезавши на земљу да би дао новце по заповести Фараоновој, од сваког узимајући како беше цењен, сребро и злато по народу у земљи, да да Фараону Нехаону.
Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of everyone according to his taxation, to give it to Pharaoh Necoh.
36 Двадесет и пет година беше Јоакиму кад поче царовати, и царова једанаест година у Јерусалиму. Матери му беше име Зевуда, кћи Федајева, из Руме.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
37 А он чињаше што је зло пред Господом сасвим како су чинили оци његови.
He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.
