1 Potom Ezekija poruči svim Izraelcima i Judejcima pa napisa i pisma Efrajimovu i Manašeovu plemenu da dođu u Jahvin Dom u Jeruzalem da proslave Pashu Jahvi, Izraelovu Bogu.
And Hezekiah sent to all Israel, and Iudah, and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the Lord at Ierusalem, to keepe the Passeouer vnto the Lord God of Israel.
2 Kralj, vijećajući s knezovima i sa svim zborom u Jeruzalemu, odluči da slave Pashu drugoga mjeseca.
And the King and his princes and all the Congregation had taken counsel in Ierusalem to keepe the Passeouer in the second moneth.
3 Toga nisu mogli učiniti u pravo vrijeme jer nije bilo dosta posvećenih svećenika, i narod se ne bijaše skupio u Jeruzalemu.
For they could not keepe it at this time, because there were not Priests enow sanctified, neither was the people gathered to Ierusalem.
4 I to je bilo prÓavo u kraljevim očima i u očima svega zbora,
And the thing pleased the King, and all the Congregation.
5 pa su odredili da se oglasi po svem Izraelu od Beer Šebe pa do Dana da dođu i proslave Pashu Jahvi, Izraelovu Bogu, u Jeruzalemu, jer je premnogi nisu svetkovali kako je propisano.
And they decreed to make proclamation throughout all Israel from Beersheba euen to Dan, that they should come to keepe the Passeouer vnto the Lord God of Israel at Ierusalem: for they had not done it of a great time, as it was written.
6 Tako su otišli glasnici s pismima od kralja i njegovih knezova po svem Izraelu i Judi te su govorili po kraljevoj zapovijedi: “Izraelovi sinovi, obratite se Jahvi, Abrahamovu, Izakovu i Izraelovu Bogu, pa će se i on obratiti k Ostatku koji vam je ostao od ruku asirskih kraljeva.
So the postes went with letters by the commission of the King, and his princes, thorowout all Israel and Iudah, and with the commandement of the King, saying, Ye children of Israel, turne againe vnto the Lord God of Abraham, Izhak, and Israel, and he will returne to the remnant that are escaped of you, out of ye hands of the Kings of Asshur.
7 I nemojte biti kao vaši očevi i vaša braća, koji su se iznevjerili Jahvi, Bogu svojih otaca, te ih je predao propasti, kako i sami vidite.
And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the Lord God of their fathers: and therfore he made them desolate, as ye see.
8 Nemojte, dakle, biti tvrdovrati kao vaši očevi: pružite ruku Jahvi i dođite u njegovu Svetinju koju je posvetio zauvijek i služite Jahvi, svome Bogu, pa će odvratiti od vas svoj žestoki gnjev.
Be not ye now stiffenecked like your fathers, but giue the hand to the Lord, and come into his sanctuarie, which he hath sanctified for euer, and serue the Lord your God, and the fiercenesse of his wrath shall turne away from you.
9 Ako se obratite Jahvi, vaša će braća i vaši sinovi naći milost u onih koji su ih zarobili pa će se vratiti u ovu zemlju; jer je Jahve, vaš Bog, milostiv i milosrdan i neće odvratiti lica od vas ako se vi obratite njemu.”
For if ye returne vnto the Lord, your brethren and your children shall finde mercy before them that led them captiues, and they shall returne vnto this lande: for the Lord your God is gracious and mercifull, and will not turne away his face from you, if ye conuert vnto him.
10 I tako su glasnici krenuli od grada do grada po Efrajimovoj i Manašeovoj zemlji pa do Zebuluna, a ljudi im se podsmijavali i rugali.
So the postes went from citie to citie thorow the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, euen vnto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorne, and mocked them.
11 Ipak su se neki od Ašerova, od Manašeova i od Zebulunova plemena ponizili i došli u Jeruzalem.
Neuerthelesse diuers of Asher, and Manasseh, and of Zebulun submitted themselues, and came to Ierusalem.
12 Na Judejce je pak sišla Božja ruka i prožela ih jednodušnošću da čine što bijaše zapovjedio kralj i knezovi po Jahvinoj riječi.
And the hand of God was in Iudah, so that he gaue them one heart to doe the commandement of the King, and of the rulers, according to the worde of the Lord.
13 Skupilo se u Jeruzalemu mnogo naroda da slave Blagdan beskvasnih kruhova, drugoga mjeseca; zbor je bio vrlo velik.
And there assembled to Ierusalem much people, to keepe the feast of ye vnleauened bread in the second moneth, a very great assemblie.
14 Tada su ustali i uklonili žrtvenike što su bili u Jeruzalemu, uklonili sve kadionike i bacili ih u potok Kidron.
And they arose, and tooke away the altars that were in Ierusalem: and all those for incense tooke they away, and cast them into the brooke Kidron.
15 Onda su stali klati Pashu četrnaestoga dana drugoga mjeseca, a svećenici i leviti postidjeli se i, posvetiv se, počeli unositi paljenice u Jahvin Dom.
Afterwarde they slewe the Passeouer the fourteenth day of the seconde moneth: and the Priestes and Leuites were ashamed, and sanctified themselues, and brought the burnt offrings into the house of the Lord.
16 Stali su na svoje mjesto po pravilu, po Zakonu Mojsija, čovjeka Božjeg; svećenici su škropili krvlju primajući je iz ruku levita.
And they stoode in their place after their maner, according to the Lawe of Moses the man of God: and the Priestes sprinkled the blood, receiued of the handes of the Leuites.
17 Kako ih bijaše mnogo u zboru koji se nisu posvetili, leviti su klali pashalne jaganjce za sve koji nisu bili čisti, da bi ih posvetili Jahvi.
Because there were many in the Congregation that were not sanctified, therefore the Leuites had the charge of the killing of ye Passeouer for all that were not cleane, to sanctifie it to the Lord.
18 Najveći se dio naroda, mnogi od Efrajimova i Manašeova, Jisakarova i Zebulunova plemena, nije očistio te je jeo Pashu nepropisno. Ali se za njih pomolio Ezekija govoreći: “Blagi Jahve neka očisti od grijeha svakoga
For a multitude of the people, euen a multitude of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun had not cleansed themselues, yet did eate the Passeouer, but not as it was written: wherefore Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good Lord be mercifull toward him,
19 tko je upravio srce da traži Boga Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca, ako i nije čist kako dolikuje Svetištu!”
That prepareth his whole heart to seeke the Lord God, the God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed, according to the purification of the Sanctuarie.
20 Jahve je uslišio Ezekiju i oprostio narodu.
And the Lord heard Hezekiah, and healed the people.
21 Tako su Izraelovi sinovi koji su se zatekli u Jeruzalemu svetkovali Blagdan beskvasnih kruhova sedam dana s velikim veseljem, a leviti i svećenici hvalili Jahvu iz dana u dan uz glazbala za Jahvinu slavu.
And the children of Israel that were present at Ierusalem, kept the feast of the vnleauened bread seuen dayes with great ioye, and the Leuites, and the Priestes praysed the Lord, day by day, singing with loude instruments vnto the Lord.
22 Ezekija je hrabrio levite koji su pokazivali divnu privrženost Jahvi. Jeli su svečanu žrtvu sedam dana, žrtvujući žrtve pričesnice i slaveći Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca.
And Hezekiah spake comfortably vnto all the Leuites that had good knowledge to sing vnto the Lord: and they did eate in that feast seuen dayes, and offred peace offrings, and praysed the Lord God of their fathers.
23 Potom je sav zbor vijećajući odlučio da svetkuje još sedam dana; svetkovali su još sedam dana s veseljem.
And the whole assembly tooke counsel to keepe it other seuen dayes. So they kept it seuen dayes with ioy.
24 Judejski kralj Ezekija darovao je zboru tisuću mladih junaca i sedam tisuća grla sitne stoke; a knezovi darivali zboru tisuću mladih junaca i deset tisuća grla sitne stoke; tada se posvetilo mnogo svećenika.
For Hezekiah King of Iudah had giuen to the Congregation a thousande bullockes, and seuen thousand sheepe. And the princes had giuen to the Congregation a thousand bullocks, and ten thousand sheepe: and many Priests were sanctified.
25 Tako se proveselio sav judejski zbor, i svećenici i leviti, i sav zbor što je bio došao iz Izraela, i došljaci koji bijahu došli iz zemlje izraelske, i stanovnici u Judeji.
And all the Congregation of Iudah reioyced with the Priestes and the Leuites, and all the Congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Iudah.
26 Bilo je veliko veselje u Jeruzalemu, jer od vremena Davidova sina Salomona, izraelskoga kralja, nije bilo tako u Jeruzalemu.
So there was great ioye in Ierusalem: for since the time of Salomon the sonne of Dauid King of Israel there was not the like thing in Ierusalem.
27 Onda su ustali svećenici i leviti te blagoslovili narod: njihov je glas bio uslišan, a njihova je molitva doprla do Božjega svetog Prebivališta na nebu.
Then the Priests and the Leuites arose, and blessed the people, and their voyce was heard, and their prayer came vp vnto heauen, to his holy habitation.
