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 began to reign; and he reigned 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.
He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and did not turn aside to the right hand or 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.
For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherim, and the engraved images, and the molten 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.
They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; and the incense altars that were on high above them he cut down; and the Asherim, and the engraved images, and the molten images, he broke in pieces, and made dust of them, and strewed it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
5 Kosti duhovnikov je sežgal na njihovih oltarjih ter očistil Juda in Jeruzalem.
He burnt the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
6 Tako je storil v mestih Manáseja, Efrájima in Simeona, celo do Neftálija, z njihovimi motikami naokoli.
He did this in the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even to Naphtali, around in their ruins.
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.
He broke down the altars, and beat the Asherim and the engraved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel, and 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.
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, 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.
They came to Hilkiah the cohen hagadol, and delivered the money that was brought into God's house, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin, and of 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 hand of the workers who had the oversight of the house of the LORD; and the workmen who labored in the house of the LORD gave it to mend and repair the house;
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.
even to the carpenters and to the builders gave they it, to buy cut stone, and timber for couplings, and to make beams for 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.
The men did the work faithfully: and their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and others of the Levites, all who were skillful with instruments of music.
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.
Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and set forward all who did the work in every kind of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and gatekeepers.
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.
When they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the cohen found the scroll of the law of the LORD given by Moses.
15 Hilkijá je odgovoril in pisarju Šafánu rekel: »V Gospodovi hiši sem našel knjigo postave.« In Hilkijá je knjigo izročil Šafánu.
Hilkiah answered Shaphan the scribe, "I have found the scroll of the law in the house of the LORD." Hilkiah delivered the scroll to Shaphan.
16 Šafán je knjigo odnesel h kralju in [poleg tega] kralju prinesel besedo, rekoč: »Vse, kar je bilo poverjeno tvojim služabnikom, so to storili.«
Shaphan carried the scroll to the king, and moreover brought back word to the king, saying, "All that was committed to your servants, they are doing.
17 Skupaj so zbrali denar, ki je bil najden v Gospodovi hiši ter ga izročili v roko nadzornikov in delavcev.
They have emptied out the money that was found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of the workmen."
18 Potem je pisar Šafán povedal kralju, rekoč: »Duhovnik Hilkijá mi je izročil knjigo.« In Šafán jo je bral pred kraljem.
Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, "Hilkiah the cohen has given me a scroll." Shaphan read it before the king.
19 Zgodilo se je, ko je kralj slišal besede postave, da je pretrgal svoja oblačila.
It happened, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he tore his clothes.
20 Kralj je ukazal Hilkijáju, Šafánovemu sinu Ahikámu, Mihajájevemu sinu Abdónu, pisarju Šafánu in kraljevemu služabniku Asajáju, rekoč:
The king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Acbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, 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 inquire of the LORD for me, and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do according to all that is written in this scroll."
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.
So Hilkiah and those whom the king had sent went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter; ) and they spoke to her to that effect.
23 Odgovorila jim je: »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Povejte človeku, ki vas je poslal k meni:
She said 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, 'Look, I will bring disaster on this place, and on its inhabitants, even all the curses that are written in the scroll 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.
Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore is my wrath poured out on this place, and it shall not be quenched.'"'
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:
But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus you shall tell him, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: "As touching the words which you have heard,
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.
because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God, when you heard his words against this place, and against its inhabitants, and have humbled yourself before me, and have torn your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard 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.
"Look, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, neither shall your eyes see all the disaster that I will bring on this place, and on its inhabitants."'" They brought back word to the king.
29 Potem je kralj poslal in zbral skupaj vse starešine iz Juda in Jeruzalema.
Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders 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.
The king went up to the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the cohanim, and the Levites, and all the people, both great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the scroll of the covenant that was found in the house of the LORD.
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.
The king stood in his place, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this scroll.
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.
He caused all who were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand. The inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, 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.
Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all who were found in Israel to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. All his days they did not depart from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
