2 Chronicles 30

1 Then Hezekiah sent word to all Israel and Judah, and sent letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, requesting them to come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel.

Potom posla Jezekija k svemu Izrailju i Judi, i napisa knjige sinovima Jefremovijem i Manasijinim da doðu u dom Gospodnji u Jerusalim da proslave pashu Gospodu Bogu Izrailjevu.

2 For the king, after discussion with his chiefs and all the body of the people in Jerusalem, had made a decision to keep the Passover in the second month.

Jer car i knezovi njegovi i sav zbor svijeæaše u Jerusalimu da slave pashu drugoga mjeseca.

3 It was not possible to keep it at that time, because not enough priests had made themselves holy, and the people had not come together in Jerusalem.

Jer je ne mogaše slaviti u to vrijeme, jer ne bijaše dosta sveštenika posveæenijeh i narod se ne bješe skupio u Jerusalim.

4 And the thing was right in the eyes of the king and all the people.

I to bi po volji caru i svemu zboru.

5 So it was ordered that word was to be sent out through all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, that they were to come to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: because they had not kept it in great numbers in agreement with the law.

I odrediše da oglase po svemu Izrailju od Virsaveje do Dana da doðu u Jerusalim da proslave pashu Gospodu Bogu Izrailjevu, jer je odavna ne bjehu slavili kako je napisano.

6 So runners went with letters from the king and his chiefs through all Israel and Judah, by the order of the king, saying, O children of Israel, come back again to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that he may come again to that small band of you which has been kept safe out of the hands of the kings of Assyria.

I tako otidoše glasnici s knjigama od cara i od knezova po svemu Izrailju i Judi, i po zapovijesti carevoj govorahu: sinovi Izrailjevi, obratite se ka Gospodu Bogu Avramovu, Isakovu i Izrailjevu, pa æe se i on obratiti k ostatku koji ste ostali od ruku careva Asirskih.

7 Do not be like your fathers and your brothers, who were sinners against the Lord, the God of their fathers, so that he made them a cause of fear, as you see.

Ne budite kao oci vaši i kao braæa vaša što griješiše Gospodu Bogu otaca svojih, te ih dade da budu èudo, kako vidite.

8 Now do not be hard-hearted, as your fathers were; but give yourselves to the Lord, and come into his holy place, which he has made his for ever, and be the servants of the Lord your God, so that the heat of his wrath may be turned away from you.

Ne budite dakle tvrdovrati kao oci vaši, dajte ruke Gospodu i hodite u svetinju njegovu koju je osvetio navijek, i služite Gospodu Bogu svojemu, pa æe se odvratiti od vas žestina gnjeva njegova.

9 For if you come back to the Lord, those who took away your brothers and your children will have pity on them, and let them come back to this land: for the Lord your God is full of grace and mercy, and his face will not be turned away from you if you come back to him.

Jer ako se obratite ka Gospodu, braæa æe vaša i sinovi vaši steæi milost u onijeh koji ih zarobiše, te æe se vratiti u ovu zemlju; jer je Gospod Bog vaš milostiv i žalostiv, i neæe odvratiti lica od vas, ako se obratite k njemu.

10 So the runners went from town to town through all the country of Ephraim and Manasseh as far as Zebulun: but they were laughed at and made sport of.

A kad ti glasnici iðahu od grada do grada po zemlji Jefremovoj i Manasijinoj dori do Zavulona, potsmijevahu im se i rugahu im se.

11 However, some of Asher and Manasseh and Zebulun put away their pride and came to Jerusalem.

Ali neki od Asira i od Manasije i od Zavulona pokorivši se doðoše u Jerusalim.

12 And in Judah the power of God gave them one heart to do the orders of the king and the captains, which were taken as the word of the Lord.

I nad Judu doðe ruka Gospodnja, te im dade jedno srce da uèine što bješe zapovjedio car i knezovi po rijeèi Gospodnjoj.

13 So a very great number of people came together at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month.

I skupi se u Jerusalim mnoštvo naroda da praznuju praznik prijesnijeh hljebova drugog mjeseca, i bi sabor veoma velik.

14 And they got to work and took away all the altars in Jerusalem, and they put all the vessels for burning perfumes into the stream Kidron.

Tada se podigoše, i oboriše oltare što bijahu u Jerusalimu, i sve oltare kadione oboriše i baciše u potok Kison.

15 Then on the fourteenth day of the second month they put the Passover lambs to death: and the priests and the Levites were shamed, and made themselves holy and took burned offerings into the house of the Lord.

Potom zaklaše pashu èetrnaestoga dana drugoga mjeseca; a sveštenici i Leviti postidjevši se osveštaše se, i unesoše žrtve paljenice u dom Gospodnji.

16 And they took their places in their right order, as it was ordered in the law of Moses, the man of God: the priests draining out on the altar the blood given them by the Levites.

I stadoše svojim redom kako treba po zakonu Mojsija sluge Božijega; i sveštenici kropiše krvlju primajuæi iz ruke Levitima.

17 For there were still a number of the people there who had not made themselves holy: so the Levites had to put Passover lambs to death for those who were not clean, to make them holy to the Lord.

I jer ih mnogo bijaše u zboru koji se ne bjehu osveštali; zato Leviti klahu pashu za svakoga koji ne bješe èist da bi ih posvetili Gospodu.

18 For a great number of the people from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not made themselves clean, but they took the Passover meal, though not in the right way. For Hezekiah had made prayer for them, saying, May the good Lord have mercy on everyone

Jer mnoštvo naroda, mnogi od Jefrema i od Manasije i od Isahara i od Zavulona ne oèistiše se, nego jedoše pashu ne kako je napisano. Ali se za njih pomoli Jezekija govoreæi: Gospod blagi neka oèisti svakoga,

19 Who, with all his heart, is turned to God the Lord, the God of his fathers, even if he has not been made clean after the rules of the holy place.

Ko je upravio srce svoje da traži Boga Gospoda, Boga otaca svojih, ako i ne bi bio èist prema svetom oèišæenju.

20 And the Lord gave ear to Hezekiah, and made the people well.

I usliši Gospod Jezekiju, i saèuva narod.

21 So the children of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread for seven days with great joy: and the Levites and the priests gave praise to the Lord day by day, making melody to the Lord with loud instruments.

I tako sinovi Izrailjevi koji bjehu u Jerusalimu praznovaše praznik prijesnijeh hljebova sedam dana u velikom veselju, i hvaljahu Gospoda svaki dan Leviti i sveštenici uz oruða za slavu Gospodnju.

22 And Hezekiah said kind words to the Levites who were expert in the ordering of the worship of the Lord: so they kept the feast for seven days, offering peace-offerings and praising the Lord, the God of their fathers.

I Jezekija govori ljubazno sa svijem Levitima koji vješti bijahu službi Gospodnjoj; i jedoše o prazniku sedam dana prinoseæi žrtve zahvalne i slaveæi Gospoda Boga otaca svojih.

23 And by the desire of all the people, the feast went on for another seven days, and they kept the seven days with joy.

I sav zbor dogovori se da praznuje još sedam dana; i praznovaše još sedam dana u veselju.

24 For Hezekiah, king of Judah, gave to the people for offerings, a thousand oxen and seven thousand sheep; and the rulers gave a thousand oxen and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests made themselves holy.

Jer Jezekija car Judin dade zboru tisuæu junaca i sedam tisuæa ovaca; a knezovi dadoše zboru tisuæu junaca i deset tisuæa ovaca; i osvešta se mnogo sveštenika.

25 And all the people of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and those who had come from Israel, and men from other lands who had come from Israel or who were living in Judah, were glad with great joy.

I tako se proveseli sav zbor Judin i sveštenici i Leviti, i sav zbor što bješe došao od Izrailja, i došljaci što bjehu došli iz zemlje Izrailjeve i koji življahu u zemlji Judinoj.

26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for nothing like this had been seen in Jerusalem from the time of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.

I bi veselje veliko u Jerusalimu; jer od vremena Solomuna sina Davidova cara Izrailjeva ne bi tako u Jerusalimu.

27 Then the priests and the Levites gave the people a blessing: and the voice of their prayer went up to the holy place of God in heaven.

Potom ustaše sveštenici i Leviti i blagosloviše narod; i uslišen bi glas njihov, i molitva njihova doðe u stan svetinje Gospodnje na nebo.
