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 years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of 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 that which was right in the eyes of YHWH, and walked in all the way of David his father, and did not turn aside to the right hand 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:

It happened in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of YHWH, saying,

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 up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may melt down the silver which is brought into the house of YHWH, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered of the people.

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;

Let them deliver it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of YHWH; and let them give it to the workmen who are in the house of YHWH, to repair the breaches of the house,

6 tesarjem, graditeljem in zidarjem, da kupijo lesa in klesanega kamna, da popravijo hišo.«

to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house.

7 Vendar ni bilo z njimi narejenega nobenega obračuna o denarju, ki je bil izročen v njihovo roko, ker so zvesto postopali.

However there was no accounting made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand; for they dealt faithfully."

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 said to Shaphan the scribe, "I have found the scroll of the law in the house of YHWH." Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he 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 came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, "Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of YHWH."

10 Pisar Šafán je kralju pokazal, rekoč: »Duhovnik Hilkijá mi je izročil knjigo.« In Šafán jo je bral pred kraljem.

Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, "Hilkiah the priest has delivered a scroll to me." Shaphan read it before the king.

11 Pripetilo se je, ko je kralj slišal besede iz knjige postave, da je pretrgal svoja oblačila.

It happened, when the king had heard the words of the scroll of the law, that he tore his clothes.

12 Kralj je ukazal duhovniku Hilkijáju, Šafánovemu sinu Ahikámu, Ahbórju, sinu Mihajá, pisarju Šafánu in kraljevemu služabniku Asajáju, rekoč:

The king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, 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 inquire of YHWH for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this scroll that is found; for great is the wrath of YHWH that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this scroll, to do according to all that which is written concerning us."

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.

So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked with her.

15 Rekla jim je: »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Povejte možu, ki vas je poslal k meni,

She said to them, "Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel: '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,

"Thus says YHWH, 'Look, I will bring disaster on this place, and on its inhabitants, even all the words of the scroll which the king of Judah has read.

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.

Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.'"

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 to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of YHWH, thus you shall tell him, "Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel: 'Concerning the words which you have heard,

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 your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before YHWH, when you heard what I spoke against this place, and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have torn your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard you,' says YHWH.

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.

'Therefore look, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, neither shall your eyes see all the disaster which I will bring on this place.'"'" They brought back this message to the king.
