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 began to reign when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. 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 that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that David his father had done.
3 V prvem letu svojega vladanja, v prvem mesecu, je odprl vrata Gospodove hiše in jih popravil.
In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of the LORD’s house and repaired them.
4 Pripeljal je duhovnike in Lévijevce ter jih skupaj zbral na vzhodni ulici
He brought in the priests and the Levites and gathered them together into the wide place on 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.
and said to them, “Listen to me, you Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers, and carry the filthiness out of the holy place.
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 unfaithful, and have done that which was evil in the LORD our God’s sight, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.
7 Prav tako so zaprli vrata preddverja in ugasili svetilke in niso zažigali kadila niti darovali žgalnih daritev Izraelovemu Bogu na svetem kraju.
Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burnt incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place to 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.
Therefore the LORD’s wrath was on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to be tossed back and forth, to be an astonishment and a hissing, as you see with your eyes.
9 Kajti, glejte, naši očetje so padli pod mečem, naši sinovi, naše hčere in naše žene so zaradi tega v ujetništvu.
For behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
10 Sedaj je na mojem srcu, da sklenem zavezo z Gospodom, Izraelovim Bogom, da se njegov kruti bes lahko odvrne od nas.
Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from 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 be negligent now; for the LORD has chosen you to stand before him, to minister to him, and that you should be his ministers and burn incense.”
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 arose: Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;
13 izmed Elicafánovih sinov Šimríj in Jeiél; izmed Asáfovih sinov Zeharjá in Matanjá;
and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
14 izmed Hemánovih sinov Jehiél in Šimí in izmed Jedutúnovih sinov Šemajája in Uziél.
and of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of 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 gathered their brothers, sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the LORD’s words, to cleanse the LORD’s house.
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 part of the LORD’s house to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the LORD’s temple into the court of the LORD’s house. The Levites took it from there to carry it out to the brook Kidron.
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.
Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the LORD’s porch. They sanctified the LORD’s house in eight days, and on the sixteenth day of the first month they finished.
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 Hezekiah the king within the palace and said, “We have cleansed all the LORD’s house, including the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, and the table of show bread with all its vessels.
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.
Moreover, we have prepared and sanctified all the vessels which King Ahaz threw away in his reign when he was unfaithful. Behold, they are before the LORD’s altar.”
20 Potem se je kralj Ezekíja zgodaj dvignil in zbral voditelje mesta ter odšel gor h Gospodovi hiši.
Then Hezekiah the king arose early, gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the LORD’s house.
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 lambs, and seven male goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. He commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the LORD’s altar.
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 received the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. They killed the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar. They also 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.
They brought near the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly; and they laid 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 them, and they made a sin offering with their blood on the altar, to make atonement for all Israel; for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all 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.
He set the Levites in the LORD’s house with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was from the LORD by his prophets.
26 Lévijevci so stali z Davidovimi glasbili in duhovniki s trobentami.
The Levites stood with David’s instruments, and the priests with the 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.
Hezekiah commanded them to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the LORD’s song also began, along with the trumpets and instruments of David 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 assembly worshipped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded. All 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.
When they had finished offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshipped.
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.
Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises to the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.
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 answered, “Now you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD. Come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the LORD’s house.” The assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings, and as many as were of a willing heart 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 number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs. All these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.
33 Posvečenih stvari je bilo šeststo volov in tri tisoč ovc.
The consecrated things were six hundred head of cattle 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.
But the priests were too few, so that they could not skin all the burnt offerings. Therefore their brothers the Levites helped them until the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves, for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
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.
Also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings and with the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the LORD’s house was set in order.
36 Ezekíja se je veselil in vse ljudstvo, da je Bog pripravil ljudstvo, kajti stvar je bila storjena nenadoma.
Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced because of that which God had prepared for the people; for the thing was done suddenly.
