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 and 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 that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and turned not 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 graven 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.
And they brake down the altars of the Baalim in his presence; and the sun-images, that were on high above them, he hewed down; and the Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strowed it upon the graves [of them] that had sacrificed unto them.
5 Kosti duhovnikov je sežgal na njihovih oltarjih ter očistil Juda in Jeruzalem.
And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
6 Tako je storil v mestih Manáseja, Efrájima in Simeona, celo do Neftálija, z njihovimi motikami naokoli.
And [so did he] in the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even unto Napthali, in their ruins round about.
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 he brake down the altars, and beat the Asherim and the graven images into powder, and hewed down all the sun-images 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.
And they came to Hilkiah the high priest, and delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the door, 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.
And they delivered it into the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the LORD; and the workmen that wrought in the house of the LORD gave it to amend 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 hewn 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.
And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them 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 [other of] the Levites, all that could skill of 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 that did the work in every manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.
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 brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found the book 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.
And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah delivered the book 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.«
And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought the king word again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they do it.
17 Skupaj so zbrali denar, ki je bil najden v Gospodovi hiši ter ga izročili v roko nadzornikov in delavcev.
And 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.
And Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read therein before the king.
19 Zgodilo se je, ko je kralj slišal besede postave, da je pretrgal svoja oblačila.
And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.
20 Kralj je ukazal Hilkijáju, Šafánovemu sinu Ahikámu, Mihajájevemu sinu Abdónu, pisarju Šafánu in kraljevemu služabniku Asajáju, rekoč:
And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, 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 ye, inquire of the LORD for me, and for them that 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 upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do according unto all that is written in this book.
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 they whom the king [had commanded], went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter; ) and they spake to her to that effect.
23 Odgovorila jim je: »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Povejte človeku, ki vas je poslal k meni:
And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: tell ye the man that sent you unto 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 saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the 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.
Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore is my wrath poured out upon 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 unto the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: As touching the words which thou hast 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 thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and hast humbled thyself before me, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith 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.
Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof. And they brought the king word again.
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.
And the king went up to the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, both great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book 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.
And 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 book.
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.
And he caused all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand [to it]. And 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.
And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were found in Israel to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. All his days they departed not from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
