2 Kralji 22
1 Jošíja je bil star osem let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval enaintrideset let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Jedída, hči Adajája iz Bockáta.
Josiah was eight when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for thirty-one years. His mother's name was Jedidah, daughter of Adaiah. She came from Bozkath.
2 Delal je to, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh in hodil po vsej poti svojega očeta Davida in se ni obrnil vstran k desni roki ali k levi.
He did what was right in the Lord's sight, and followed all the ways of David his forefather—he did not deviate to the right or to the left.
3 V osemnajstem letu kralja Jošíja se je pripetilo, da je kralj poslal Šafána, Acaljájevega sina, Mešulámovega sina, pisarja, h Gospodovi hiši, rekoč:
In the eighteenth year of his reign, Josiah sent Shaphan, son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, to the Lord's Temple. He said,
4 »Pojdi gor k vélikemu duhovniku Hilkijáju, da bo lahko preštel srebro, ki je bilo prineseno v Gospodovo hišo, ki so ga čuvaji vrat zbrali od ljudstva
“Go to Hilkiah the high priest and have him count the money the doorkeepers have collected from the people coming to the Lord's Temple.
5 in naj ga izročijo v roko izvajalcem dela, ki imajo nadzor nad Gospodovo hišo, in naj ga dajo izvajalcem dela, ki je v Gospodovi hiši, da popravijo vrzeli hiše;
Then hand it over to those who are supervising the work on Lord's Temple, and have them pay the workmen doing the repairing of the Lord's Temple,
6 tesarjem, graditeljem in zidarjem, da kupijo lesa in klesanega kamna, da popravijo hišo.«
the carpenters, the builders and the masons. In addition have them purchase timber and cut stone to repair the Temple.
7 Vendar ni bilo z njimi narejenega nobenega obračuna o denarju, ki je bil izročen v njihovo roko, ker so zvesto postopali.
Don't ask for any accounts from the men who received the money because they deal honestly.”
8 Véliki duhovnik Hilkijá je pisarju Šafánu rekel: »V Gospodovi hiši sem našel knjigo postave.« Hilkijá je knjigo izročil Šafánu in ta jo je prebral.
Hilkiah the high priest told Shaphan the scribe, “I've found the Book of the Law in the Lord's Temple.” He gave it to Shaphan who read it.
9 Pisar Šafán je prišel h kralju in kralju ponovno prinesel besedo ter rekel: »Tvoji služabniki so zbrali denar, ki je bil najden v hiši in ga izročili v roko tistih, ki opravljajo delo, ki imajo nadzor nad Gospodovo hišo.«
Shaphan the scribe went to the king and to give him a report, saying, “Your officials have paid out the money that was in the Lord's Temple and have handed it over to those appointed to supervise the work at the Lord's Temple.”
10 Pisar Šafán je kralju pokazal, rekoč: »Duhovnik Hilkijá mi je izročil knjigo.« In Šafán jo je bral pred kraljem.
Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” Shaphan read it to the king.
11 Pripetilo se je, ko je kralj slišal besede iz knjige postave, da je pretrgal svoja oblačila.
When the king heard what was in the book of the Law, he tore his clothes.
12 Kralj je ukazal duhovniku Hilkijáju, Šafánovemu sinu Ahikámu, Ahbórju, sinu Mihajá, pisarju Šafánu in kraljevemu služabniku Asajáju, rekoč:
Then he gave orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, son of Shaphan, Acbor, son of Micaiah, Shaphan, the scribe, and Asaiah the king's assistant, saying,
13 »Pojdite, poizvedite od Gospoda zame in za ljudstvo in za vsega Juda glede besed te knjige, ki je najdena, kajti velik je Gospodov bes, ki je vžgan zoper nas, ker naši očetje niso prisluhnili besedam te knjige, da bi storili glede na vse, kar je napisano glede nas.«
“Go and talk to the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all of Judah, about what is said in the book that's been found. For the Lord must be really angry with us, because our forefathers have not obeyed the Lord's instructions in this book; they have not been doing what is written there for us to do.”
14 Tako so duhovnik Hilkijá, Ahikám, Ahbór, Šafán in Asajá odšli k prerokinji Huldi, ženi Šalúma, Tikvájevega sina, Harhásovega sina, varuha garderobe (torej prebivala je v Jeruzalemu, v drugem okraju) in se posvetovali z njo.
Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Acbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went and spoke to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, custodian of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the city's second quarter.
15 Rekla jim je: »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Povejte možu, ki vas je poslal k meni,
She told them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me,
16 tako govori Gospod: ›Glejte, nad ta kraj in nad njegove prebivalce bom privedel zlo, celó vse besede knjige, ki jo je bral Judov kralj,
this is what the Lord says: I am about to bring disaster down on this place and on its people, in accordance with everything written in the book that has been read to the king of Judah.
17 ker so zapustili mene in zažigali kadilo drugim bogovom, da bi me lahko izzivali k jezi z vsemi deli svojih rok. Zato bo moj bes vnet zoper ta kraj in ne bo pogašen.
They have abandoned me and offered sacrifices to other gods, making me angry by everything they've done. My anger will be poured out upon this place and will not be stopped.
18 Toda Judovemu kralju, ki vas je poslal, da povprašate od Gospoda, boste rekli tako: ›Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: › Glede besed, ki si jih slišal;
But tell the king of Judah who sent you to ask the Lord, tell him this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: As for what you heard read to you—
19 ker je bilo tvoje srce nežno in si se ponižal pred Gospodom, ko si slišal kaj sem govoril zoper ta kraj in zoper njegove prebivalce, da naj bi postali opustošenje in prekletstvo in si pretrgal svoja oblačila in jokal pred menoj, sem te tudi jaz uslišal, govori Gospod.
because you were receptive and repentant before God when you heard his warnings against this place and against its people—that would become desolate and a curse—and because you have torn your clothes and wept before me, I have also heard you, declares the Lord.
20 Glej torej, zbral te bom k tvojim očetom in v miru boš zbran v svoj grob in tvoje oči ne bodo videle vsega zla, ki ga bom privedel na ta kraj.‹« In kralju so ponovno prinesli besedo.
All this will not happen until after you have died, and you will die in peace. You will not see all the disaster that I'm going to bring down on this place.” They went back to the king and gave him her response.
