2 Kroniška 34
1 Jošíja je bil star osem let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval enaintrideset let.
Josiah was eight years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
2 Delal je to, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh in hodil po poteh svojega očeta Davida in se ni nagnil niti k desni roki niti k levi.
And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, and he walked in the ways of his father David. He did not turn away, neither to the right, nor to the left.
3 Kajti v osmem letu svojega kraljevanja, ko je bil še mlad, je začel iskati Boga svojega očeta Davida in v dvanajstem letu je začel čistiti Juda in Jeruzalem pred visokimi kraji, ašerami, izrezljanimi podobami in ulitimi podobami.
Now in the eighth year of his reign, when he was still a boy, he began to seek the God of his father David. And in the twelfth year after he had begun to reign, he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the sacred groves, and the idols, and the graven images.
4 V njegovi prisotnosti so porušili Báalove oltarje in podobe, ki so bile visoko nad njimi, je posekal. Ašere, izrezljane podobe in ulite podobe je zdrobil na koščke in iz njih naredil prah in ga raztresel po grobovih tistih, ki so jim žrtvovali.
And in his sight, they destroyed the altars of the Baals, and they demolished the idols which had been set upon them. And then he cut down the sacred groves and crushed the graven images. And he scattered the fragments upon the tombs of those who had been accustomed to immolate to them.
5 Kosti duhovnikov je sežgal na njihovih oltarjih ter očistil Juda in Jeruzalem.
And after that, he burned the bones of the priests upon the altars of the idols. And so did he cleanse Judah and Jerusalem.
6 Tako je storil v mestih Manáseja, Efrájima in Simeona, celo do Neftálija, z njihovimi motikami naokoli.
Then too, in the cities of Manasseh, and of Ephraim, and of Simeon, even to Naphtali, he overturned everything.
7 Ko je porušil oltarje in ašere in je rezane podobe poteptal v prah in posekal vse malike po vsej izraelski deželi, se je vrnil v Jeruzalem.
And when he had destroyed the altars and the sacred groves, and had broken the idols to pieces, and when all the profane shrines had been demolished from the entire land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
8 Torej v osemnajstem letu njegovega kraljevanja, ko je očistil deželo in hišo, je poslal Acaljájevega sina Šafána, voditelja mesta Maasejája in Joaházovega sina letopisca Joáha, da popravi hišo Gospoda, svojega Boga.
And so, in the eighteenth year of his reign, having now cleansed the land and the temple of the Lord, he sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah, the ruler of the city, and Joah, the son of Joahaz, the historian, to repair the house of the Lord his God.
9 Ko so prišli k vélikemu duhovniku Hilkijáju so izročili denar, ki je bil prinesen v Božjo hišo, ki so ga zbrali Lévijevci, ki so varovali vrata, iz roke Manáseja, Efrájima in vsega Izraelovega preostanka in od vsega Juda in Benjamina in se vrnili v Jeruzalem.
And they went to Hilkiah, the high priest. And having accepted from him the money which had been brought into the house of the Lord, and which the Levites and porters had gathered together from Manasseh, and Ephraim, and the entire remnant of Israel, and also from all of Judah, and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
10 Položili so ga v roko delavcev, ki so imeli nadzor nad Gospodovo hišo in ga izročili delavcem, ki so delali v Gospodovi hiši, da hišo popravijo in izboljšajo.
they delivered it into the hands of those who were in charge of the workers in the house of the Lord, so that they might repair the temple, and restore whatever was weak.
11 Izročila sta ga celo rokodelcem in graditeljem, da kupijo klesan kamen, les za vezi in da tlakujejo hiše, ki so jih Judovi kralji uničili.
And they gave it to the artisans and the stoneworkers, so that they might buy stones from the quarries, and wood for the joints of the building and for the upper floors of the houses, which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
12 Možje so zvesto opravljali delo in njihovi nadzorniki so bili Jahat in Obadjá, Lévijevca izmed Meraríjevih sinov; Zeharjá in Mešulám izmed Kehátovih sinov, da bi ga nadzirali in drugi izmed Lévijevcev, vsi, ki so vešči glasbenih instrumentov.
And they did everything faithfully. Now the overseers of the workers were Jahath and Obadiah, from the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, from the sons of Kohath, who were supervising the work. All were Levites who knew how to play musical instruments.
13 Bili so tudi nad nosilci bremen in bili so nadzorniki vseh teh, ki so na kakršen koli način opravljali delo. Izmed Lévijevcev so bili pisarji, častniki in vratarji.
Truly, scribes and teachers, from among the Levites who were porters, were over those who were carrying burdens for various uses.
14 Ko so jemali ven denar, ki je bil prinesen v Gospodovo hišo, je duhovnik Hilkijá našel knjigo Gospodove postave, ki je bila dana po Mojzesu.
And when they carried out the money that had been brought into the temple of the Lord, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
15 Hilkijá je odgovoril in pisarju Šafánu rekel: »V Gospodovi hiši sem našel knjigo postave.« In Hilkijá je knjigo izročil Šafánu.
And he said to Shaphan, the scribe: “I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord.” And he delivered it to him.
16 Šafán je knjigo odnesel h kralju in [poleg tega] kralju prinesel besedo, rekoč: »Vse, kar je bilo poverjeno tvojim služabnikom, so to storili.«
Then he took the volume to the king, and he reported to him, saying: “Behold, everything that you entrusted to your servants is completed.
17 Skupaj so zbrali denar, ki je bil najden v Gospodovi hiši ter ga izročili v roko nadzornikov in delavcev.
They have melted together the silver that was found in the house of the Lord. And it has been given to the overseers of the artisans and craftsmen for various works.
18 Potem je pisar Šafán povedal kralju, rekoč: »Duhovnik Hilkijá mi je izročil knjigo.« In Šafán jo je bral pred kraljem.
After this, Hilkiah the priest gave to me this book.” And when he had read it in the presence of the king,
19 Zgodilo se je, ko je kralj slišal besede postave, da je pretrgal svoja oblačila.
and he had heard the words of the law, he tore his garments.
20 Kralj je ukazal Hilkijáju, Šafánovemu sinu Ahikámu, Mihajájevemu sinu Abdónu, pisarju Šafánu in kraljevemu služabniku Asajáju, rekoč:
And he instructed Hilkiah, and Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Abdon, the son of Micah, and also Shaphan, the scribe, and Asaiah, the servant of the king, saying:
21 »Pojdite, vprašajte Gospoda zame in za tiste, ki so preostali v Izraelu in Judu, glede besed knjige, ki se je našla, kajti velik je Gospodov bes, ki je izlit na nas, ker se naši očetje niso držali Gospodove besede, da bi delali po vsem, kar je napisano v tej knjigi.«
“Go, and pray to the Lord for me, and for the remnant of Israel and Judah, concerning all the words of this book, which has been found. For the great fury of the Lord has rained down upon us, because our fathers did not keep the words of the Lord, to do all that has been written in this volume.”
22 Hilkijá in tisti, ki jih je kralj določil, so odšli k prerokinji Huldi, ženi Šalúma, Tikvájevega sina, Hasrájevega sina, varuha garderobe (torej prebivala je v Jeruzalemu, v drugem okraju) in ji prav tako govorili.
Therefore, Hilkiah, and those who had been sent with him by the king, went to Huldah, the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the vestments. She was living in Jerusalem, in the second part. And they spoke to her the words which we explained above.
23 Odgovorila jim je: »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Povejte človeku, ki vas je poslal k meni:
And she responded to them: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Tell the man who sent you to me:
24 ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Glejte, zlo bom privedel nad ta kraj in nad njegove prebivalce, celó vsa prekletstva, ki so zapisana v knjigi, ki so jo brali pred Judovim kraljem,
Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will lead in evils over this place, and over its inhabitants, with all the curses that have been written in this book, which they have read before the king of Judah.
25 ker so me zapustili in zažigali kadilo drugim bogovom, da bi me lahko dražili do jeze z vsemi deli svojih rok, zato bo moj bes izlit na ta kraj in ne bo pogašen.
For they have abandoned me, and they have sacrificed to foreign gods, so that they provoked me to wrath by all the works of their hands. Therefore, my fury will rain down upon this place, and it will not be extinguished.
26 Kar se tiče Judovega kralja, ki vas je poslal, da poizveste od Gospoda, mu boste rekli takole: ›Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog, glede besed, ki si jih slišal:
To the king of Judah, who sent you to petition before the Lord, so shall you speak: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Since you listened to the words of this volume,
27 ›Ker je bilo tvoje srce nežno in si se ponižal pred Bogom, ko si slišal njegove besede zoper to mesto in zoper njegove prebivalce in se ponižuješ pred menoj in si pretrgal svoja oblačila in jokal pred menoj; celo tudi jaz sem te slišal, ‹ govori Gospod.
and your heart was softened, and you humbled yourself in the sight of God concerning these things which have been said against this place and against the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and since, revering my face, you have torn your garments, and have wept before me: I also have heeded you, says the Lord.
28 ›Glej, zbral te bom k tvojim očetom in v miru boš zbran k svojemu grobu niti tvoje oči ne bodo videle vsega zla, ki ga bom privedel nad ta kraj in nad prebivalce istega.‹« Tako so kralju ponovno prinesli besedo.
For now I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be brought into your sepulcher in peace. Neither shall your eyes see all the evil that I will lead in, over this place and over its inhabitants.” And so they took back to the king all that she had said.
29 Potem je kralj poslal in zbral skupaj vse starešine iz Juda in Jeruzalema.
And he, calling together all those greater by birth of Judah and Jerusalem,
30 Kraj je odšel gor v Gospodovo hišo in vsi Judovi možje, prebivalci Jeruzalema, duhovniki, Lévijevci in vse ljudstvo, veliki in mali, in na njihova ušesa je bral vse besede knjige zaveze, ki se je našla v Gospodovi hiši.
ascended to the house of the Lord, united with all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests and the Levites, and all the people, from the least even to the greatest. And in their hearing, in the house of the Lord, the king read all the words of the volume.
31 Kralj je stal na svojem mestu in sklenil zavezo pred Gospodom, da hodi za Gospodom in da se drži njegovih zapovedi, njegovih pričevanj in njegovih zapovedi z vsem svojim srcem in z vso svojo dušo, da izpolni besede zaveze, ki so zapisane v tej knjigi.
And standing up at his tribunal, he struck a covenant before the Lord, so that he would walk after him, and would keep his precepts and testimonies and justifications, with his whole heart and with his whole soul, and so that he would do the things that were written in that volume, which he had read.
32 Vsem, ki so bili prisotni v Jeruzalemu in Benjaminu, je velel, da pristopijo k temu. Prebivalci Jeruzalema so storili glede na zavezo Boga, Boga svojih očetov.
Also, concerning this, he bound by oath all who had been found in Jerusalem and Benjamin. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem acted in accord with the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers.
33 Jošíja je odvzel vse ogabnosti iz vseh dežel, ki so pripadale Izraelovim otrokom in pripravil vse, ki so bili prisotni v Izraelu, da služijo, torej da služijo Gospodu, svojemu Bogu. In vse svoje dni se niso odvrnili od sledenja Gospodu, Bogu svojih očetov.
Therefore, Josiah took away all the abominations from all the regions of the sons of Israel. And he caused all who were remaining in Israel to serve the Lord their God. During all his days, they did not withdraw from the Lord, the God of their fathers.
