2 Kroniška 29
1 Ezekíja je začel vladati, ko je bil star petindvajset let in v Jeruzalemu je vladal devetindvajset let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Abíja, Zeharjájeva hči.
Hezekiah was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years. His mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
2 Delal je, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh, glede na vse to, kar je storil njegov oče David.
He did what was right in the Lord's sight, just as his forefather David had done.
3 V prvem letu svojega vladanja, v prvem mesecu, je odprl vrata Gospodove hiše in jih popravil.
In the first month of the first year of his reign, Hezekiah opened the doors of the Lord's Temple and repaired them.
4 Pripeljal je duhovnike in Lévijevce ter jih skupaj zbral na vzhodni ulici
He summoned the priests and the Levites, and had them gather on the square to the east.
5 ter jim rekel: »Poslušajte me, vi Lévijevci, sedaj se posvetite in posvetite hišo Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov in odnesite umazanost iz svetega kraja.
He told them, “Listen to me, Levites. Purify yourselves now and purify the Temple of the Lord, the God of your forefathers. Take away from the Holy Place everything that is filthy.
6 Kajti naši očetje so grešili in naredili to, kar je bilo zlo v očeh Gospoda, našega Boga, ga zapustili in svoje obraze obrnili proč od Gospodovega prebivališča in obrnili svoje hrbte.
For our fathers were sinful, and did what was evil in the Lord's sight. They abandoned him and paid no attention to the Lord's Temple, turning their backs on him.
7 Prav tako so zaprli vrata preddverja in ugasili svetilke in niso zažigali kadila niti darovali žgalnih daritev Izraelovemu Bogu na svetem kraju.
They shut the doors at the entrance to the Temple and put out the lamps. They didn't burn incense or present burnt offerings at the sanctuary of the God of Israel.
8 Zato je bil Gospodov bes nad Judom in Jeruzalemom in izročil jih je v težavo, osuplost in posmeh, kakor vidite s svojimi očmi.
So the Lord's anger fell on Judah and Jerusalem, and he made them into something appalling, terrifying, and ridiculous, as you can see for yourselves.
9 Kajti, glejte, naši očetje so padli pod mečem, naši sinovi, naše hčere in naše žene so zaradi tega v ujetništvu.
As a result, our fathers have died in battle, and our sons and our daughters and our wives have been captured.
10 Sedaj je na mojem srcu, da sklenem zavezo z Gospodom, Izraelovim Bogom, da se njegov kruti bes lahko odvrne od nas.
But now I'm going to make an agreement with the Lord, the God of Israel, so that his fierce anger will no longer fall on us.
11 Moji sinovi, ne bodite sedaj nemarni, kajti Gospod vas je izbral, da stojite pred njim, da mu služite in da bi mu služili in zažigali kadilo.
My sons, don't neglect your responsibilities, for the Lord has chosen you to stand in his presence to serve him, and to be his ministers presenting burnt offerings.”
12 Potem so vstali Lévijevci: Amasájev sin Mahat in Azarjájev sin Joél izmed sinov Kehátovcev; izmed Meraríjevih sinov Abdíjev sin Kiš in Jehalelélov sin Azarjá; izmed Geršóncev Zimájev sin Joáh in Joáhov sin Eden;
Then the Levites went to work. They were Mahath, son of Amasai, and Joel, son of Azariah, from the Kohathites; Kish, son of Abdi, and Azariah, son of Jehallelel, from the Merarites; Joah, son of Zimmah, and Eden, son of Joah, from the Gershonites;
13 izmed Elicafánovih sinov Šimríj in Jeiél; izmed Asáfovih sinov Zeharjá in Matanjá;
from the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeiel; and from the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
14 izmed Hemánovih sinov Jehiél in Šimí in izmed Jedutúnovih sinov Šemajája in Uziél.
from the sons of Heman, Jehiel and Shimei; and from the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
15 Zbrali so svoje brate, se posvetili in prišli glede na kraljevo zapoved, po Gospodovih besedah, da očistijo Gospodovo hišo.
They called together the other Levites and all of them purified themselves. Then they went in to clean the Lord's Temple, as the king had commanded, following the instructions as required by the Lord.
16 Duhovniki so odšli v notranji del Gospodove hiše, da jo očistijo in ven prinesejo vso nečistost, ki jo najdejo v Gospodovem templju, na dvoru Gospodove hiše. In Lévijevci so to vzeli, da to odnesejo ven, v potok Kidron.
The priests went into the inner sanctuary of the Lord's Temple to clean it. They removed all the unclean things that they found in the Lord's Temple and placed them in the Temple courtyard. Then the Levites took them out and carried them to the Kidron Valley.
17 Torej posvečevati so začeli na prvi dan prvega meseca in na osmi dan meseca so prišli do Gospodovega preddverja. Tako so v osmih dneh posvetili Gospodovo hišo in na šestnajsti dan prvega meseca so dokončali.
They started the work of purification on the first day of the first month, and by the eighth day of the month they had reached the Temple porch. For eight more days they worked on purifying the Temple itself, and finished on the sixteenth day of the first month.
18 Potem so odšli h kralju Ezekíju in rekli: »Očistili smo vso Gospodovo hišo in oltar žgalne daritve, z vsemi njegovimi posodami in mizo hlebov navzočnosti, z vsemi njenimi posodami.
Then they went in to tell King Hezekiah, “We have cleaned the entire Temple of the Lord, the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the table of the showbread with all its utensils.
19 Poleg tega smo pripravili in posvetili vse posode, ki jih je kralj Aház ob svojem kraljevanju v svojem prestopku zavrgel. Glej, pred Gospodovim oltarjem so.
We have recovered and purified all the items that King Ahaz threw away during his reign when he was unfaithful. They are now before the Lord's altar.”
20 Potem se je kralj Ezekíja zgodaj dvignil in zbral voditelje mesta ter odšel gor h Gospodovi hiši.
King Hezekiah got up early, summoned the city officials, and went to the Lord's Temple.
21 Privedli so sedem bikcev, sedem ovnov, sedem jagnjet in sedem kozlov za daritev za greh za kraljestvo, za svetišče in za Juda. Duhovnikom, Aronovim sinovom, je zapovedal, da jih darujejo na Gospodovem oltarju.
They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven male lambs, and seven male goats as a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. The king ordered the priests, the descendants of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the Lord.
22 Tako so zaklali bikce in duhovniki so prestregli kri in jo poškropili na oltar. Tudi ko so zaklali ovne, so na oltar poškropili kri. Zaklali so tudi jagnjeta in na oltar poškropili kri.
So they killed the bulls, and the priests took the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. They killed the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar. They killed the lambs and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
23 Pred kralja in skupnost so privedli kozle za daritev za greh in ti so svoje roke položili nanje.
Then they brought the goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly, who placed their hands on them.
24 Duhovniki so jih zaklali in naredili pobotanje z njihovo krvjo na oltarju, da opravijo odkupitev za ves Izrael, kajti kralj je zapovedal, da naj bo za ves Izrael narejena žgalna daritev in daritev za greh.
Then the priests killed the goats and placed their blood on the altar for a sin offering, to make atonement for the whole of Israel, because the king had ordered that the burnt offering and sin offering were for the whole of Israel.
25 V Gospodovi hiši je postavil Lévijevce s cimbalami, plunkami in harfami, glede na Davidovo zapoved in [glede na zapoved] Gada, kraljevega vidca in preroka Natána, kajti taka je bila Gospodova zapoved po njegovih prerokih.
Hezekiah had the Levites stand in the Lord's Temple with cymbals, harps, and lyres, following the instructions of David, Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet. The instructions had come from the Lord through His prophets.
26 Lévijevci so stali z Davidovimi glasbili in duhovniki s trobentami.
The Levites stood with the musical instruments provided by David, with the priests holding their trumpets.
27 Ezekíja je zapovedal, da na oltarju darujejo žgalno daritev. Ko se je žgalna daritev začela, se je začela tudi Gospodova pesem s trobentami in z glasbili, ki jih je določil Izraelov kralj David.
Then Hezekiah gave the order for the burnt offering to be offered on the altar. As the burnt offering began, the song of the Lord began at the same time, the trumpets sounded, and music was played on the instruments of David, once king of Israel.
28 Vsa skupnost je oboževala in pevci so peli in trobentači so trobili. In vse to se je nadaljevalo, dokler ni bila dokončana žgalna daritev.
All the people in the assembly were worshiping, the singers were singing, and the trumpeters were playing. This continued until the burnt offering was finished.
29 Ko so prenehali z daritvijo, so se kralj in vsi tisti, ki so bili prisotni z njim, priklonili in oboževali.
Once the offerings were completed, the king and everyone there with him bowed down and worshiped.
30 Poleg tega so kralj Ezekíja in princi zapovedali Lévijevcem, da prepevajo hvalo Gospodu z besedami Davida in vidca Asáfa. In z veseljem so peli hvalnice, sklonili svoje glave in oboževali.
Then King Hezekiah and his officials ordered the Levites to sing praises to the Lord using the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with joy, and bowed their heads and worshiped.
31 Potem je Ezekíja odgovoril in rekel: »Sedaj ste se uméstili Gospodu, pridite bliže in prinesite klavne daritve in zahvalne daritve v Gospodovo hišo.« In skupnost je prinesla klavne daritve in zahvalne daritve in toliko, kot jih je bilo voljnega srca, žgalne daritve.
Then Hezekiah told them, “Now that you have dedicated yourselves to the Lord, come and bring your sacrifices and thank offerings to the Lord's Temple.” So the people in the assembly brought their sacrifices and thank offerings, and everyone who wanted to brought burnt offerings.
32 Število žgalnih daritev, ki jih je prinesla skupnost, je bilo sedemdeset bikcev, sto ovnov in dvesto jagnjet. Vsi ti so bili za žgalno daritev Gospodu.
The total number of burnt offerings they brought was seventy bulls, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were to be a burnt offering to the Lord.
33 Posvečenih stvari je bilo šeststo volov in tri tisoč ovc.
In addition there were dedicated offerings of six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep.
34 Toda duhovnikov je bilo premalo, tako da niso mogli odreti vseh žgalnih daritev, zato so jim pomagali njihovi bratje Lévijevci, dokler ni bilo delo končano in dokler se niso posvetili drugi duhovniki, kajti Lévijevci so bili bolj iskreni v srcu, da se posvetijo, kakor duhovniki.
Since there weren't enough priests to skin all the burnt offerings, their Levite relatives helped them until the work was finished and the priests had been purified. (The Levites had been more conscientious in purifying themselves than the priests had.)
35 Tudi žgalnih daritev je bilo v obilju, s tolščo mirovnih daritev in pitnih daritev za vsako žgalno daritev. Tako je bila služba Gospodove hiše urejena.
Apart from the large number of burnt offerings, there was the fat of the friendship offerings, as well as the drink offerings that went with the burnt offerings. In this way the service of the Lord's Temple was restored.
36 Ezekíja se je veselil in vse ljudstvo, da je Bog pripravil ljudstvo, kajti stvar je bila storjena nenadoma.
Hezekiah and everyone there were so happy at what God done for the people, because everything had been achieved so quickly.
