Chronicles II 30
1 And Ezekias sent to all Israel and Juda, and wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasse, that they should come into the house of the Lord to Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel.
Ezekíja je poslal k vsemu Izraelu in Judu in napisal tudi pisma Efrájimu in Manáseju, da naj pridejo h Gospodovi hiši v Jeruzalemu, da praznujejo pasho Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu.
2 For the king, and the princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, designed to keep the passover in the second month.
Kajti kralj je sprejel nasvet in njegovi princi in vsa skupnost v Jeruzalemu, da v drugem mesecu praznujejo pasho.
3 For they could not keep it at that time, because a sufficient number of priest had not purified themselves, and the people was not gathered to Jerusalem.
Kajti niso je mogli imeti ob tistem času, ker se duhovniki niso zadosti posvetili niti se ljudstvo ni zbralo skupaj k Jeruzalemu.
4 And the proposal pleased the king and the congregation.
Stvar je ugajala kralju in vsej skupnosti.
5 And they established a decree that a proclamation should go through all Israel, from Bersabee to Dan, that they should come and keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem: for the multitude had not done it lately according to the scripture.
Tako so potrdili odlok, da ga razglasijo po vsem Izraelu, od Beeršébe, celo do Dana, da bi prišli praznovat pasho Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu, v Jeruzalemu, kajti že dolgo časa tega niso storili na takšen način, kot je bilo to napisano.
6 And the posts went with the letters from the king and the princes to all Israel and Juda, according to the command of the king, saying, Children of Israel, return to the Lord God of Abraam, and Isaac, and Israel, and bring back them that have escaped [even] those that were left of the hand of the king of Assyria.
Tako so tekači odšli s pismi kralja in njegovih princev po vsem Izraelu in Judu in glede na kraljevo zapoved, rekoč: »Vi, Izraelovi otroci, se ponovno obrnite h Gospodu, Bogu Abrahama, Izaka in Izraela in on se bo obrnil k preostanku izmed vas, ki ste pobegnili iz roke asirskih kraljev.
7 And be not as your fathers, and your brethren, who revolted from the Lord God of their fathers, and he gave them up to desolation, as you see.
Vi pa ne bodite podobni svojim očetom in svojim bratim, ki so grešili zoper Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov, ki jih je zato izročil v opustošenje, kakor vidite.
8 And now harden not your hearts, as your fathers [did]: give glory to the Lord God, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever: and serve the Lord your God, and he shall turn away [his] fierce anger from you.
Torej ne bodite trdovratni, kakor so bili vaši očetje, temveč se uklonite Gospodu in vstopite v njegovo svetišče, ki ga je posvetil na veke, in služite Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, da se okrutnost njegovega besa lahko odvrne od vas.
9 For when you turn to the Lord, your brethren and your children shall be pitied before all that have carried them captives, and he will restore [you] to this land: for the Lord our God is merciful and pitiful, and will not turn away his face from you, if we return to him.
Kajti če se ponovno obrnete h Gospodu, bodo vaši bratje in vaši otroci našli sočutje pred tistimi, ki jih vodijo ujete, tako da se bodo ponovno vrnili v to deželo, kajti Gospod, vaš Bog, je usmiljen in milostljiv in svojega obraza ne bo odvrnil od vas, če se vi vrnete k njemu.
10 So the posts went through from city to city in mount Ephraim, and Manasse, and as far as Zabulon: and they as it were laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
Tako je pošta šla od mesta do mesta po vsej deželi, od Efrájima in Manáseja, celo do Zábulona, toda smejali so se jim do norčevanja in jih zasmehovali.
11 But the men of Aser, and [some] of Manasses and of Zabulon, were ashamed, and came to Jerusalem and Juda.
Kljub temu so se številni izmed Aserja, Manáseja in Zábulona ponižali in prišli v Jeruzalem.
12 And the hand of the Lord was [present] to give them one heart to come, to do according to the commands of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord.
Tudi v Judu je bila Božja roka, da jim da eno srce, da po Gospodovi besedi storijo zapoved kralja in princev.
13 And a great multitude were gathered to Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
V Jeruzalemu se je zbralo mnogo ljudstva, zelo velika skupnost, da bi v drugem mesecu praznovali praznik nekvašenega kruha.
14 And they arose, and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all on which they burnt incense to false [gods] they tore down and cast into the brook Kedron.
Vzdignili so se in odnesli oltarje, ki so bili v Jeruzalemu in vse kadilne oltarje so odnesli proč in jih vrgli v potok Kidron.
15 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites repented, and purified [themselves], and brought whole burnt offerings into the house of the Lord.
Potem so na štirinajsti dan drugega meseca zaklali pasho. Duhovniki in Lévijevci so bili osramočeni in se posvetili in prinesli so žgalne daritve v Gospodovo hišo.
16 And they stood at their post, according to their ordinance, according to the commandment of Moses the man of God: and the priests received the blood from the hand of the Levites.
Stali so na svojem mestu, po njihovem običaju, glede na postavo Mojzesa, Božjega moža. Duhovniki so poškropili kri, ki so jo prejeli iz rok Lévijevcev.
17 For a great part of the congregation was not sanctified; and the Levites were [ready] to kill the passover for every one who could not sanctify himself to the Lord.
Kajti v skupnosti so bili številni, ki niso bili posvečeni, zato so bili Lévijevci zadolženi za zakol pashe za vsakogar, ki ni bil čist, da jih posvetijo Gospodu.
18 For the greatest part of the people of Ephraim, and Manasse, and Issachar, and Zabulon, had not purified [themselves], but ate the passover contrary to the scripture. On this account also Ezekias prayed concerning them, saying,
Kajti množica ljudstva, celó številni izmed Efrájima, Manáseja, Isahárja in Zábulona se niso očistili, vendar so jedli pasho drugače, kot je bilo napisano. Toda Ezekíja je molil zanje, rekoč: »Dobri Gospod naj odpusti vsakomur,
19 The good Lord be merciful with regard to every heart that sincerely seeks the Lord God of their fathers, and [is] not [purified] according to the purification of the sanctuary.
ki pripravlja svoje srce, da išče Boga, Gospoda Boga svojih očetov, čeprav ni očiščen glede na očiščevanje svetišča.«
20 And the Lord listened to Ezekias, and healed the people.
Gospod je prisluhnil Ezekíju ter ozdravil ljudstvo.
21 And the children of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great joy; and they continued to sing hymns to the Lord daily, and the priests and the Levites [played] on instruments to the Lord.
Izraelovi otroci, ki so bili prisotni v Jeruzalemu, so z velikim veseljem sedem dni imeli praznik nekvašenega kruha. Lévijevci in duhovniki so dan za dnem hvalili Gospoda, pojoč Gospodu z glasnimi glasbili.
22 And Ezekias encouraged all the Levites, and those that had good understanding of the Lord: and they completely kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days, offering peace-offerings, and confessing to the Lord God of their fathers.
Ezekíja je tolažilno govoril vsem Lévijevcem, ki so učili dobrega Gospodovega spoznanja. Jedli so vseh sedem prazničnih dni, žrtvovali mirovne daritve in delali priznanje Gospodu, Bogu svojih očetov.
23 And the congregation purposed together to keep other seven days: and they kept seven days with gladness.
Celoten zbor se je posvetoval, da praznuje [še] drugih sedem dni. In z veseljem so praznovali [še] drugih sedem dni.
24 For Ezekias set apart for Juda, [even] for the congregation, a thousand calves and seven thousand sheep; and the princes set apart for the people a thousand calves and ten thousand sheep: and the holy things of the priests abundantly.
Kajti Judov kralj Ezekíja je dal skupnosti tisoč bikcev in sedem tisoč ovc, in princi so dali skupnosti tisoč bikcev in deset tisoč ovc. In veliko število duhovnikov se je posvetilo.
25 And all the congregation, the priests and the Levites, rejoiced, and all the congregation of Juda, and they that were present of Jerusalem, and the strangers that came from the land of Israel, and the dwellers in Juda.
Vsa Judova skupnost, z duhovniki in Lévijevci in ves zbor, ki je prišel iz Izraela in tujci, ki so prišli iz Izraelove dežele in tisti, ki so prebivali v Judu, so se veselili.
26 And there was great joy in Jerusalem: from the days of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not such a feast in Jerusalem.
Tako je bila v Jeruzalemu velika radost, kajti od časa Salomona, Davidovega sina, Izraelovega kralja, ni bilo v Jeruzalemu ničesar podobnega.
27 Then the priests the Levites rose up and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came into his holy dwelling-place, [even] into heaven.
Potem so duhovniki, Lévijevci, vstali, blagoslovili ljudstvo in njihov glas je bil slišan in njihova molitev je prišla gor do njegovega svetega prebivališča, celó do nebes.
