2 Kroniška 35

1 Poleg tega je Jošíja praznoval pasho Gospodu v Jeruzalemu. Na štirinajsti dan prvega meseca so zaklali pashalno jagnje.

And Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth [day] of the first month.

2 Postavil je duhovnike po njihovih zadolžitvah in jih ohrabril, da služijo v Gospodovi hiši.

And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD.

3 Lévijevcem, ki so učili ves Izrael, ki so bili sveti Gospodu, je rekel: »Sveto skrinjo postavite v hišo, ki jo je zgradil Salomon, Davidov sin, Izraelov kralj. Ta naj ne bo breme na vaših ramah. Služite torej Gospodu, svojemu Bogu in njegovemu ljudstvu Izraelu

And he said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; there shall no more be a burden upon your shoulders: now serve the LORD your God, and his people Israel.

4 in pripravite se po hišah svojih očetov, po svojih skupinah glede na pisanje Izraelovega kralja Davida in glede na pisanje njegovega sina Salomona.

And prepare yourselves after your fathers’ houses by your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.

5 Stojte na svetem kraju, glede na razdelitve družin očetov, vaših bratov [od] ljudstva, in glede na razdelitev družin Lévijevcev.

And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of your brethren the children of the people, and [let there be for each] a portion of a fathers’ house of the Levites.

6 Tako zakoljite pashalno jagnje, se posvetite in pripravite svoje brate, da bodo lahko storili glede na Gospodovo besedo, po Mojzesovi roki.

And kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, to do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

7 Jošíja je dal ljudstvu od tropa jagnjeta in kozličke, vse za pashalne daritve, za vse, ki so bili prisotni, do številke trideset tisoč in tri tisoč bikcev. To je bilo od kraljevega imetja.

And Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all of them for the passover offerings, unto all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king’s substance.

8 Njegovi princi so voljno dali ljudstvu, duhovnikom in Lévijevcem. Hilkijá, Zeharjá in Jehiél, voditelji Božje hiše, so dali duhovnikom za pashalne daritve dva tisoč in šeststo [glav] majhne živine in tristo volov.

And his princes gave for a freewill offering unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred [small cattle], and three hundred oxen.

9 Tudi Konanjá, Šemajá in Netanél, njegovi bratje in Hašabjá, Jeiél in Jozabád, vodje Lévijevcev, so dali Lévijevcem za pashalne daritve pet tisoč [glav] majhne živine in petsto volov.

Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for the passover offerings five thousand [small cattle], and five hundred oxen.

10 Tako je bila služba pripravljena in duhovniki so stali na svojem kraju in Lévijevci po svojih skupinah, glede na kraljevo zapoved.

So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their courses, according to the king’s commandment.

11 Zaklali so pashalno jagnje in duhovniki so poškropili kri iz njihovih rok, Lévijevci pa so jih odrli.

And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled [the blood, which they received] of their hand, and the Levites flayed them:

12 Odstranili so žgalne daritve, da bi jih lahko dali glede na oddelke družin ljudstva, da darujejo Gospodu, kakor je to zapisano v Mojzesovi knjigi. In tako so storili z voli.

And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of the children of the people, to offer unto the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.

13 Pashalno jagnje so pekli z ognjem, glede na odredbo. Toda ostale svete daritve so kuhali v loncih, v kotlih in v ponvah in jih naglo razdelili med vse ljudstvo.

And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: and the holy offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of the people.

14 Potem so pripravili zase in za duhovnike, ker so bili duhovniki, Aronovi sinovi, zaposleni pri darovanju žgalnih daritev in tolšče do noči, zato so Lévijevci pripravili zase in za duhovnike, Aronove sinove.

And afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests; because the priests the sons of Aaron [were busied] in offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night: therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.

15 Pevci, Asáfovi sinovi, so bili na svojem mestu, glede na zapoved Davida, Asáfa, Hemána in kraljevega vidca Jedutúna. Vratarji so čakali pri vsakih velikih vratih. Niso mogli oditi od svoje službe, kajti njihovi bratje Lévijevci so pripravljali zanje.

And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the porters were at every gate: they needed not to depart from their service, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

16 Tako je bila vsa Gospodova služba pripravljena isti dan, da praznujejo pasho in da darujejo žgalne daritve na Gospodovem oltarju, glede na zapoved kralja Jošíja.

So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah.

17 Izraelovi otroci, ki so bili prisotni, so ob tistem času sedem dni praznovali pasho in praznik nekvašenega kruha.

And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.

18 Nobene pashe ni bilo podobne tej, ki so jo praznovali v Izraelu, od dni preroka Samuela niti niso vsi Izraelovi kralji praznovali takšne pashe, kot so jo praznovali Jošíja, duhovniki, Lévijevci in ves Juda, Izrael in prebivalci Jeruzalema, ki so bili prisotni.

And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did any of the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

19 V osemnajstem letu kraljevanja Jošíja so praznovali to pasho.

In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.

20 Po vsem tem, ko je Jošíja pripravil tempelj, je prišel gor iz Egipta kralj Nehu, da se bojuje zoper Kárkemiš pri Evfratu. Jošíja je odšel ven zoper njega.

After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.

21 Toda ta je k njemu poslal predstavnike, rekoč: »Kaj imam opraviti s teboj, Judov kralj? Danes nisem prišel zoper tebe, temveč zoper hišo, s katero imam vojno, kajti Bog mi je zapovedal, da pohitim. Zadrži se pred vmešavanjem z Bogom, ki je z menoj, da te on ne uniči.«

But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? [I come] not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war; and God hath commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from [meddling with] God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not.

22 Kljub temu Jošíja svojega obraza ni hotel obrniti od njega, temveč se je preoblekel, da bi se lahko boril z njim in ni prisluhnil besedam Nehuja iz Božjih ust in je šel, da se bojuje v dolini Megído.

Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Neco, from the month of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

23 Lokostrelci pa so zadeli kralja Jošíja in kralj je rekel svojim služabnikom: »Odpeljite me proč, kajti hudo sem ranjen.

And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded.

24 Njegovi služabniki so ga torej vzeli iz tega bojnega voza in ga položili na drug bojni voz, ki ga je imel. Privedli so ga v Jeruzalem in umrl je in bil pokopan v enem izmed mavzolejev svojih očetov. Ves Juda in Jeruzalem je žaloval za Jošíjem.

So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried in the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

25 Jeremija je žaloval za Jošíjem in vsi pevci in pevke so do tega dne v svojih žalostinkah govorili o Jošíju in jih naredili za odredbo v Izraelu. Glej, zapisane so v žalostinkah.

And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations, unto this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.

26 Torej preostala izmed Jošíjevih dejanj in njegova dobrota, glede na to, kar je bilo napisano v Gospodovi postavi

Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of the LORD,

27 in njegova dejanja, prva in zadnja, glej, zapisana so v knjigi Izraelovih in Judovih kraljev.

and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
