2 Kings 22
1 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.
Jošiji je bilo osam godina kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je trideset i jednu godinu u Jeruzalemu. Mati mu se zvala Jedida, kći Adajina, i bila je iz Boskata.
2 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.
Činio je što je pravo u Jahvinim očima. U svemu je hodio putem svoga oca Davida, ne skrećući ni desno ni lijevo.
3 In the eighteenth year of his reign, Josiah sent Shaphan, son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, to the Lord's Temple. He said,
Osamnaeste godine svoga kraljevanja Jošija posla svoga tajnika Šafana, sina Asalijahina, sina Mešulamova, u Dom Jahvin i reče mu:
4 “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.
“Idi velikom svećeniku Hilkiji da ti pripremi novac koji je odnesen u Dom Jahvin i koji su čuvari praga sakupili od naroda.
5 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,
Neka ga uruči poslovođama postavljenim u Domu Jahvinu, a oni neka isplate radnike koji popravljaju Dom Jahvin,
6 the carpenters, the builders and the masons. In addition have them purchase timber and cut stone to repair the Temple.
drvodjelje, graditelje i zidare, i da se kupuje drvo i kamenje klesano što je potrebno za popravak Doma.
7 Don't ask for any accounts from the men who received the money because they deal honestly.”
Ali neka se ne traži od njih račun za uručeni novac jer oni rade pošteno.”
8 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.
Veliki svećenik Hilkija reče tajniku Šafanu: “Našao sam Knjigu Zakona u Domu Jahvinu.” I Hilkija dade knjigu Šafanu, koji ju je pročitao.
9 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.”
Tajnik Šafan dođe kralju te ga izvijesti: “Tvoje sluge”, reče on, “pokupile su novac koji se našao u Domu i predale su ga poslovođama postavljenim u Domu Jahvinu.”
10 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” Shaphan read it to the king.
Tada tajnik Šafan obavijesti kralja: “Svećenik Hilkija dade mi jednu knjigu.” I Šafan je poče čitati pred kraljem.
11 When the king heard what was in the book of the Law, he tore his clothes.
Čuvši riječi Knjige Zakona, kralj razdrije haljine svoje.
12 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,
I naredi svećeniku Hilkiji, Šafanovu sinu Ahikamu, Mikinu sinu Akboru, tajniku Šafanu i kraljevu sluzi Asaji:
13 “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.”
“Idite i upitajte Jahvu o meni, i o narodu, i o svoj Judeji zbog ove knjige što je nađena, jer je velika Jahvina jarost što se izlila na nas zato što naši očevi nisu slušali riječi ove knjige, nisu vršili što nam je u njoj napisano.”
14 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.
Svećenik Hilkija, Ahikam, Akbor, Šafan i Asaja odoše proročici Huldi, ženi Šaluma, sina Tikvina, sina Harkasova, čuvara odjeće; ona je živjela u Jeruzalemu, u novom gradu. Kad joj to kazaše,
15 She told them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me,
ona im reče: “Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Kažite čovjeku koji vas je poslao k meni:
16 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.
Ovako veli Jahve: Evo, dovest ću nesreću na ovaj grad i na njegove stanovnike, izvršit ću sve što kaže knjiga koju je pročitao judejski kralj.
17 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.
Jer su me ostavili i prinose žrtve tuđim bogovima da bi me ljutili svim djelima ruku svojih, planut će jarost moja na to mjesto i neće se ugasiti.'
18 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—
A judejskom kralju, koji vas je poslao po Jahvin savjet, recite ovo: 'Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: Riječi si čuo.
19 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.
Ali kako ti je omekšalo srce i jer si se ponizio pred Jahvom čuvši što sam objavio tome gradu i njegovim stanovnicima, koje će pogoditi pustošenje i prokletstvo, i jer si razdro haljine svoje i plakao preda mnom, zato sam te uslišio' - riječ je Jahvina.
20 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.
'Evo, sjedinit ću te s ocima tvojim i s mirom ćeš leći u grob da ne vidiš svojim očima svu nesreću koju ću svaliti na ovo mjesto.'” Oni odnesoše taj odgovor kralju.
