2 Ljetopisa 35

1 Potom je Jošija svetkovao Pashu Jahvi u Jeruzalemu: klalo se pashalno jagnje četrnaestoga dana prvoga mjeseca.

And Josiah kept a passover unto Jehovah in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth [day] of the first month.

2 Postavio je svećenike na njihove službe, osokolivši ih na službu u Jahvinu Domu.

And he set the priests in their offices, and encouraged them to the service of the house of Jehovah.

3 Zatim je rekao levitima koji su poučavali sve Izraelce i bili posvećeni Jahvi: “Metnite sveti Kovčeg u Dom koji je sagradio Davidov sin Salomon, izraelski kralj; ne smijete ga više nositi na ramenima; sada služite Jahvi, svojem Bogu, i njegovu izraelskom narodu!

And he said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, that were holy unto Jehovah, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; there shall no more be a burden upon your shoulders. Now serve Jehovah your God, and his people Israel;

4 I pripravite se po otačkim domovima, po redovima, kako je napisao izraelski kralj David i propisao sin mu Salomon.

and prepare yourselves after your fathers’ houses by your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.

5 Stojte u Svetinji po redovima otačkih domova svoje braće, običnoga puka, i po redu levitskoga otačkog doma.

And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of your brethren the children of the people, and [let there be for each] a portion of a father’s house of the Levites.

6 I tako koljite pashalno janje te se posvetite i pripravite svoju braću da svetkuju kako je zapovjedio Jahve preko Mojsija.”

And kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, to do according to the word of Jehovah by Moses.

7 Jošija je darovao običnom puku od sitne stoke jaganjaca i jarića, sve za Pashu, svima koji su se našli ondje, na broj trideset tisuća, i tri tisuće goveda, sve to s kraljeva imanja.

And Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all of them for the passover-offerings, unto all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king’s substance.

8 Njegovi su knezovi dragovoljno darovali narodu, svećenicima i levitima, i to: Hilkija, Zaharija i Jehiel, predstojnici u Božjem Domu, dali su svećenicima za Pashu dvije tisuće i šest stotina jaganjaca i jarića i tri stotine goveda.

And his princes gave for a freewill-offering unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover-offerings two thousand and six hundred [small cattle], and three hundred oxen.

9 A Konanija, Šemaja i Netanel, njegova braća Hašabja, Jehiel i Jozabad, levitski knezovi, darovali su levitima za Pashu pet tisuća grla sitne stoke i pet stotina goveda.

Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for the passover-offerings five thousand [small cattle], and five hundred oxen.

10 A kad je bila uređena služba, stali su svećenici na svoje mjesto i leviti u svojim redovima po kraljevoj zapovijedi.

So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their courses, according to the king’s commandment.

11 Klali su Pashu, a svećenici su škropili krvlju, dok su leviti odirali kožu.

And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled [the blood which they received] of their hand, and the Levites flayed them.

12 Onda su pripravili paljenice da ih dadu običnom puku po redovima otačkih domova da ih prinese Jahvi, kako je napisano u Mojsijevoj knjizi. Tako su učinili i s govedima.

And they removed the burnt-offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of the children of the people, to offer unto Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.

13 Pekli su Pashu na ognju po običaju, a ostale su posvećene stvari kuhali u loncima, kotlovima i zdjelama i brzo ih raznosili svemu običnom puku.

And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: and the holy offerings boiled they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of the people.

14 Poslije su pripravljali Pashu sebi i svećenicima, jer su svećenici, Aronovi sinovi, bili zaposleni prinošenjem paljenica i pretiline do noći; zato su leviti pripravljali sebi i svećenicima, Aronovim sinovima.

And afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests, because the priests the sons of Aaron [were busied] in offering the burnt-offerings and the fat until night: therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.

15 A pjevači, Asafovi sinovi, stajali su na svojem mjestu, kako je bio zapovjedio David, Asaf, Heman i kraljev vidjelac Jedutun. Vratari su stajali na svakim vratima; oni se nisu micali od službe, nego su im njihova braća leviti pripravljala sve.

And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the porters were at every gate: they needed not to depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

16 Tako je bila uređena sva Jahvina služba onoga dana da se proslavi Pasha i da se prinesu paljenice na Jahvinu žrtveniku po zapovijedi kralja Jošije.

So all the service of Jehovah was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt-offerings upon the altar of Jehovah, according to the commandment of king Josiah.

17 Tako su Izraelovi sinovi, koji su se našli ondje, u to doba sedam dana slavili Pashu i Blagdan beskvasnih kruhova.

And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.

18 Pasha kao ova u Izraelu nije se slavila od vremena proroka Samuela niti je ijedan od izraelskih kraljeva slavio Pashu kao što ju je slavio Jošija - sa svećenicima, levitima i sa svim Judejcima i Izraelcima, koliko ih se god našlo, i s Jeruzalemcima.

And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did any of the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

19 Ta se Pasha svetkovala osamnaeste godine Jošijina kraljevanja.

In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.

20 Poslije svega toga, kad je Jošija uredio Dom, došao je egipatski kralj Neko da se bije kod Karkemiša na Eufratu, a Jošija je izišao preda nj.

After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.

21 Kralj Neko poslao je Jošiji glasnike i poručio: “Što ja imam s tobom, judejski kralju? Ne idem ja danas na tebe, nego na dom s kojim sam u ratu, i Bog mi je zapovjedio da se požurim. Okani se Boga koji je sa mnom da te ne upropastim!”

But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? [I come] not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war; and God hath commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from [meddling with] God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not.

22 Ali Jošija nije odvratio lica od njega, nego se ojunačio da se bije s njim; ne poslušavši Nekovih riječi iz Božjih usta, došao je da se bije na Megidskom polju.

Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

23 Strijelci ustrijeliše kralja Jošiju, a on reče slugama: “Izvedite me jer sam teško ranjen.”

And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded.

24 Sluge ga skinuše s bojnih kola i metnuše u druga kola koja je imao, pa ga odvezoše u Jeruzalem; ondje je umro i bio sahranjen u grobnici otaca. Sva Judeja s Jeruzalemom plakala je za Jošijom.

So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried in the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

25 I Jeremija je protužio za Jošijom. I svi pjevači i pjevačice spominju u tužbalicama Jošiju do danas; uveli su ih u običaj u Izraelu, i eno su zapisane u Tužbalicama.

And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations unto this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.

26 Ostala Jošijina djela i njegova pobožnost, vršeni onako kako piše u Jahvinu Zakonu,

Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of Jehovah,

27 svi njegovi pothvati, od prvih do posljednjih, zapisani su u Knjizi o izraelskim i judejskim kraljevima.

and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
