2 Kralji 23

1 Kralj je poslal in k njemu so zbrali vse starešine iz Juda in iz Jeruzalema.

And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.

2 Kralj je šel gor v Gospodovo hišo in vsi Judovi možje in vsi prebivalci Jeruzalema z njim, duhovniki, preroki, vse ljudstvo, tako mali kakor veliki, in v njihova ušesa je bral vse besede knjige zaveze, ki je bila najdena v Gospodovi hiši.

And the king went up to the house of Jehovah, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of Jehovah.

3 Kralj je stal pri stebru in sklenil zavezo pred Gospodom, da hodijo za Gospodom in se držijo njegovih zapovedi, njegovih pričevanj in njegovih zakonov z vsem svojim srcem in vso svojo dušo, da izpolnjujejo besede te zaveze, ki so bile zapisane v tej knjigi. In vse ljudstvo je pristopilo k zavezi.

And the king stood by the pillar, and made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all [his] heart, and all [his] soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book: and all the people stood to the covenant.

4 Kralj je zapovedal vélikemu duhovniku Hilkijáju, duhovnikom drugega reda in čuvajem vrat, da iz Gospodovega templja prinesejo vse posode, ki so bile narejene za Báala, za ašero in za vso vojsko neba, in sežgal jih je zunaj Jeruzalema, na poljih Kidrona in njihov pepel odnesel v Betel.

And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring forth out of the temple of Jehovah all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of heaven, and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el.

5 Odstavil je malikovalske duhovnike, ki so jih Judovi kralji določili, da zažigajo kadilo na visokih krajih po Judovih mestih in v krajih naokoli Jeruzalema. Tudi tiste, ki so zažigali kadilo Báalu, soncu, luni, planetom in vsej vojski neba.

And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.

6 Iz Gospodove hiše je prinesel ašero, ven iz Jeruzalema, do potoka Kidron in jo sežgal pri potoku Kidronu in jo zdrobil v droben prah in njen prah vrgel na grobove otrok ljudstva.

And he brought out the Asherah from the house of Jehovah, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast the dust thereof upon the graves of the common people.

7 Porušil je hiše posvečenih vlačugarjev, ki so bile pri Gospodovi hiši, kjer so ženske tkale tanke preproge za ašero.

And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were in the house of Jehovah, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah.

8 Vse duhovnike je privedel iz Judovih mest in omadeževal visoke kraje, kjer so duhovniki zažigali kadilo od Gebe do Beeršébe in porušil visoke kraje velikih vrat, ki so bile pri vhodu velikih vrat mestnega voditelja Józueta, ki so bila na moževi levici pri velikih vratih mesta.

And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beer-sheba; and he brake down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city.

9 Vendar duhovniki visokih krajev niso prišli gor h Gospodovemu oltarju v Jeruzalemu, temveč so med svojimi brati jedli nekvašen kruh.

Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of Jehovah in Jerusalem, but they did eat unleavened bread among their brethren.

10 In omadeževal je Tofet, ki je v dolini Hinómovih otrok, da noben človek ne bi mogel pripraviti svojega sina ali svoje hčere, da gre skozi ogenj k Molohu.

And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.

11 Odstranil je konje, ki so jih Judovi kralji podarili soncu ob vhodu v Gospodovo hišo, poleg sobe Netán Meleha, glavnega dvornega upravitelja, ki je bila v predmestjih in sončne bojne vozove sežgal z ognjem.

And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of Jehovah, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the precincts; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

12 Oltarje, ki so bili na vrhu gornje Aházove sobe, ki so jih naredili Judovi kralji, in oltarje, ki jih je naredil Manáse v dveh dvorih Gospodove hiše, je kralj porušil, jih odstranil od tam in njihov prah vrgel v potok Kidron.

And the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of Jehovah, did the king break down, and beat [them] down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.

13 Visoke kraje, ki so bili pred Jeruzalemom, ki so bili na desni roki gore izprijenosti, ki jo je Salomon zgradil za Astarto, ogabnost Sidóncev in za Kemoša, ogabnost Moábcev in za Milkóma, gnusobo Amónovih otrok, je kralj omadeževal.

And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.

14 Podobe je zlomil na koščke, posekal ašere in njihove kraje napolnil s človeškimi kostmi.

And he brake in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men.

15 Poleg tega oltar, ki je bil pri Betelu in visok kraj, ki ga je naredil Nebátov sin Jerobeám, ki je Izraela primoral grešiti, tako oltar kot visok kraj je porušil, požgal visok kraj, ga zdrobil v prah in sežgal ašero.

Moreover the altar that was at Beth-el, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he brake down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.

16 Ko se je Jošíja obrnil, je ogledal mavzoleje, ki so bili na gori, poslal in iz mavzolejev vzel kosti in jih sežgal na oltarju, ga oskrunil, glede na Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je razglasil Božji mož, ki je razglasil te besede.

And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount; and he sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of Jehovah which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.

17 Potem je rekel: »Kakšen steber je to, kar vidim?« Ljudje iz mesta so mu rekli: » To je mavzolej Božjega moža, ki je prišel iz Juda in razglasil te stvari, ki si jih storil zoper betelski oltar.«

Then he said, What monument is that which I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Beth-el.

18 Rekel je: »Pustite ga pri miru. Naj noben človek ne premakne njegovih kosti.« Tako so pustili pri miru njegove kosti, s kostmi preroka, ki je prišel iz Samarije.

And he said, Let him be; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.

19 Tudi vse hiše visokih krajev, ki so bile v samarijskih mestih, ki so jih naredili Izraelovi kralji, da bi Gospoda izzivali k jezi, je Jošíja odstranil in jim storil glede na vsa dejanja, ki jih je storil v Betelu.

And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke [Jehovah] to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Beth-el.

20 Vse duhovnike visokih krajev, ki so bili tam, je usmrtil na oltarjih in na njih sežgal človeške kosti in se vrnil v Jeruzalem.

And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there, upon the altars, and burned men’s bones upon them; and he returned to Jerusalem.

21 Kralj je vsemu ljudstvu zapovedal, rekoč: »Praznujte pasho Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, kakor je to zapisano v knjigi te zaveze.«

And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto Jehovah your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.

22 Zagotovo tam ni bilo takšne pashe od dni sodnikov, ki so sodili Izraelu, niti v vseh dneh Izraelovih kraljev, niti Judovih kraljev,

Surely there was not kept such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;

23 kot [je bila ta] v osemnajstem letu kralja Jošíja, v katerem se je praznovala ta pasha Gospodu v Jeruzalemu.

but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this passover kept to Jehovah in Jerusalem.

24 Poleg tega je Jošíja odstranil delavce z osebnimi duhovi, čarovnike, podobe, malike in vse ogabnosti, ki so bile ogledane v Judovi deželi in v Jeruzalemu, da bi lahko izpolnil besede postave, ki so bile zapisane v knjigi, ki jo je duhovnik Hilkijá našel v Gospodovi hiši.

Moreover them that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of Jehovah.

25 Pred njim ni bilo nobenega kralja, ki bi bil podoben njemu, ki bi se z vsem svojim srcem obrnil h Gospodu, z vso svojo dušo in z vso svojo močjo, glede na vso Mojzesovo postavo niti za njim ni vstal nihče, ki bi mu bil podoben.

And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to Jehovah with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.

26 Vendar Gospod ni odvrnil okrutnosti svojega velikega besa, s čimer je bila vneta njegova velika jeza zoper Juda zaradi vseh izzivanj, s katerimi ga je izzival Manáse.

Notwithstanding, Jehovah turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations wherewith Manasseh had provoked him.

27 Gospod je rekel: »Prav tako bom iz svojega pogleda odstranil Juda, kakor sem odstranil Izraela in zavrgel bom to mesto Jeruzalem, ki sem ga izbral in hišo, o kateri sem rekel: ›Tam bo moje ime.‹«

And Jehovah said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.

28 Torej preostala izmed Jošíjevih dejanj in vse, kar je storil, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Judovih kraljev?

Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

29 V njegovih dneh je faraon Neho, egiptovski kralj, odšel gor zoper asirskega kralja, k reki Evfrat, in kralj Jošíja je odšel zoper njega, in ko ga je [faraon] zagledal ga je usmrtil pri Megídu.

In his days Pharaoh-necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and [Pharaoh-necoh] slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.

30 Njegovi služabniki so ga na bojnem vozu odnesli mrtvega od Megíde, ga prinesli v Jeruzalem in ga pokopali v njegovem lastnem mavzoleju. Ljudstvo dežele pa je vzelo Jošíjevega sina Joaháza, ga mazililo in ga postavilo [za] kralja namesto njegovega očeta.

And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.

31 Joaház je bil star triindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati, in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval tri mesece. Ime njegove matere je bilo Hamutála, hči Jeremija iz Libne.

Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

32 Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, glede na vse, kar so počeli njegovi očetje.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.

33 Faraon Neho ga je vklenil v Ribli, v Hamovi deželi, da ne bi mogel kraljevati v Jeruzalemu in deželo je podvrgel davku stotih talentov srebra in talenta zlata.

And Pharaoh-necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.

34 Faraon Neho je postavil Jošíjevega sina Eljakíma za kralja namesto njegovega očeta Jošíja in njegovo ime spremenil v Jojakím in odstranil Joaháza. Ta je prišel v Egipt in tam umrl.

And Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim: but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and died there.

35 Jojakím je dal faraonu srebro in zlato, toda obdavčil je deželo, da izroča denar glede na faraonovo zapoved. Od ljudstva dežele je zahteval srebro in zlato, od vsakogar glede na njegovo obdavčitev, da to izroči faraonu Nehu.

And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaoh-necoh.

36 Jojakím je bil petindvajset let star, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval enajst let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Zebúda; hči Pedajája iz Rume.

Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.

37 Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, glede na vse, kar so počeli njegovi očetje.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.
