Kings IV 23

1 So they reported the word to the king: and the king sent and gathered all the elders of Juda and Jerusalem to himself.

Tada posla car, te se skupiše k njemu sve starješine Judine i Jerusalimske.

2 And the king went up to the house of the Lord, and every man of Juda and all who lived in Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people small and great; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the Lord.

I otide car u dom Gospodnji i s njim svi ljudi iz zemlje Judine i svi Jerusalimljani i sveštenici i proroci i sav narod, malo i veliko, i proèita im sve rijeèi knjige zavjetne, koja se naðe u domu Gospodnjem.

3 And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his ordinances with all the heart and with all the soul, to confirm the words of this covenant; [even] the things written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.

I car stojeæi kod stupa uèini zavjet pred Gospodom da æe oni iæi za Gospodom i držati zapovijesti njegove i svjedoèanstva njegova i uredbe njegove svijem srcem i svom dušom, vršeæi rijeèi toga zavjeta napisane u toj knjizi. I sav narod prista na zavjet.

4 And the king commanded Chelcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and them that kept the door, to bring out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and all the host of heaven, and he burnt them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kedron, and took the ashes of them to Baethel.

Tada zapovjedi car Helkiji poglavaru sveštenièkom i sveštenicima drugoga reda i onima koji èuvahu vrata, da iznesu iz crkve Gospodnje sve stvari koje bijahu naèinjene Valu i gaju i svoj vojsci nebeskoj; i spali ih iza Jerusalima u polju Kedronskom, i odnese pepeo od njih u Vetilj.

5 And he burnt the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Juda [had] appointed, (and they burnt incense in the high places and in the cities of Juda, and the places around about Jerusalem); and them that burnt incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to Mazuroth, and to all the host of heaven.

I svrže sveštenike idolske koje bijahu postavili carevi Judini da kade po visinama u gradovima Judinijem i oko Jerusalima; tako i one koji kaðahu Valu, suncu i mjesecu i zvijezdama i svoj vojsci nebeskoj.

6 And he carried out the grove from the house of the Lord to the brook Kedron, and burnt it at the brook Kedron, and reduced it to powder, and cast its powder on the sepulchres of the sons of the people.

I iznese gaj iz doma Gospodnjega iza Jerusalima na potok Kedron, i spali ga na potoku Kedronu i satr u prah, i prosu prah na grobove sinova narodnijeh.

7 And he pulled down the house of the sodomites that were by the house of the Lord, where the women wove tents for the grove.

I pokvari kuæe kurvarske koje bijahu u domu Gospodnjem, u kojima žene tkahu zastiraèe za gaj.

8 And he brought up all the priest from the cities of Juda, and defiled the high places where the priests burnt incense, from Gaebal even to Bersabee; and he pulled down the house of the gates that was by the door of the gate of Joshua the ruler of the city, on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.

I dovedavši sve sveštenike iz gradova Judinijeh oskvrni visine gdje kaðahu sveštenici od Geve do Virsaveje, i pokvari visine na vratima, i koja bijaše na ulasku na vratima Isusa zapovjednika gradskoga nalijevo od vrata gradskih.

9 Only the priests of the high places went not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, for they only ate leavened bread in the midst of their brethren.

Ali sveštenici onijeh visina ne pristupahu k oltaru Gospodnjemu u Jerusalimu, nego jeðahu prijesne hljebove meðu braæom svojom.

10 And he defiled Taphes which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, [constructed] for a man to cause his son or his daughter to pass through fire to Moloch.

Oskvrni i Tofet, koji bijaše u dolini sinova Enomovijeh, da ne bi niko više vodio sina svojega ni kæeri svoje kroz oganj Molohu.

11 And he burnt the horses which the king of Juda had given to the sun in the entrance of the house of the Lord, by the treasury of Nathan the king's eunuch, in the suburbs; and he burnt the chariot of the sun with fire.

I ukloni konje koje bijahu postavili carevi Judini suncu od ulaska u dom Gospodnji do kuæe Natan-Meleha dvoranina, koja bijaše u Farurimu; a kola sunèana sažeže ognjem.

12 And the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, did the king pull down and forcibly remove from thence, and cast their dust into the brook of Kedron.

I oltare na krovu sobe Ahazove, koje bijahu naèinili carevi Judini, i oltare koje bijaše naèinio Manasija u oba trijema doma Gospodnjega, pokvari car, i uzevši ih odande baci prah od njih u potok Kedron.

13 And the king defiled the house that was before Jerusalem, on the right hand of the mount of Mosthath, which Solomon king of Israel built to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the abomination of Moab, and to Moloch the abomination of the children of Ammon.

I visine prema Jerusalimu s desne strane na gori Maslinskoj, koje bijaše naèinio Solomun car Izrailjev Astaroti gadu Sidonskom i Hemosu gadu Moavskom i Melhomu gadu sinova Amonovijeh, oskvrni car.

14 And he broke in pieces the pillars, and utterly destroyed the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.

I izlomi likove i isijeèe gajeve, i mjesta njihova napuni kostiju ljudskih.

15 Also the high altar in Baethel, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that high altar he tore down, and broke in pieces the stones of it, and reduced it to powder, and burnt the grove.

I oltar, koji bješe u Vetilju, visinu, koju bješe naèinio Jerovoam sin Navatov, koji navede na grijeh Izrailja, i oltar i visinu pokvari, i spalivši visinu satr je u prah, i spali gaj.

16 And Josias turned aside, and saw the tombs that were there in the city, and sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burnt them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the Lord which the man of God spoke, when Jeroboam stood by the altar at the feast: and he turned and raised his eyes to the tomb of the man of God that spoke these words.

I obazrevši se Josija vidje grobove koji bijahu ondje na gori, i posla te izvadiše kosti iz grobova, i sažeže ih na oltaru i oskvrni ga, po rijeèi Gospodnjoj, koju reèe èovjek Božji, koji naprijed kaza te stvari.

17 And he said, What [is] that mound which I see? And the men of the city said to him, [It is the grave of] the man of God that came out of Juda, and uttered these imprecations which he imprecated upon the altar of Baethel.

I reèe: kakav je ono spomenik što vidim? Rekoše mu graðani: ono je grob èovjeka Božijega koji doðe iz Jude i naprijed kaza to što si uèinio na oltaru u Vetilju.

18 And he said, Let him alone; let no one disturb his bones. So his bones were spared, together with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.

A on reèe: ostavite ga, niko da mu ne kreæe kosti. Tako se saèuvaše kosti njegove s kostima onoga proroka koji doðe iz Samarije.

19 Moreover Josias removed all the houses of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel made to provoke the Lord, and did to them all that he did in Baethel.

I sve domove visina po gradovima Samarijskim koje naèiniše carevi Izrailjevi gnjeveæi Gospoda, pokvari Josija; i uèini s njima sve onako kako uèini u Vetilju.

20 And he sacrificed all the priests of the high places that were there on the altars, and burnt the bones of men upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.

I pokla sve sveštenike visina, koji bijahu onuda, na oltarima, i sažeže kosti ljudske na njima; potom se vrati u Jerusalim.

21 And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover to the Lord your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.

Tada zapovjedi car svemu narodu govoreæi: praznujte pashu Gospodu Bogu svojemu, kao što piše u knjizi zavjetnoj.

22 For a passover [such as] this had not been kept from the days of the judges who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda.

Jer ne bi praznovana ovako pasha od vremena sudija koje sudiše Izrailju i za sve vrijeme careva Izrailjevijeh i careva Judinijeh.

23 But in the eighteenth year of king Josias, was the passover kept to the Lord in Jerusalem.

Kao što bi osamnaeste godine cara Josije praznovana pasha Gospodu u Jerusalimu.

24 Moreover Josias removed the sorcerers, and the wizards, and the theraphin, and the idols, and all the abominations that had been set up in the land of Juda and in Jerusalem, that he might keep the words of the law that were written in the book, which Chelcias the priest found in the house of the Lord.

I one što se dogovaraju s duhovima i vraèare, i likove i gadne bogove i sve gadove koji se viðahu u zemlji Judinoj i u Jerusalimu istrijebi Josija da izvrši rijeèi zakona napisane u knjizi koju naðe Helkija sveštenik u domu Gospodnjem.

25 There was no king like him before him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, according to all the law of Moses; and after him there rose not one like him.

Ni prije njega ne bješe takvoga cara, koji bi se obratio ka Gospodu svijem srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom i svom snagom svojom, sasvijem po zakonu Mojsijevu, niti poslije njega nasta taki kao on.

26 Nevertheless the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his great anger, wherewith he was angry in his anger against Juda, because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses provoked him.

Ali se Gospod ne povrati od žestine velikoga gnjeva svojega, kojom se bješe raspalio gnjev njegov na Judu za sve draženje kojim ga bješe dražio Manasija.

27 And the Lord said, I will also remove Juda from my presence, as I removed Israel, and will reject this city which I have chosen [even] Jerusalem, and the house [of] which I said, My name shall be there.

I reèe Gospod: i Judu æu odbaciti od sebe kao što sam odbacio Izrailja, i grad æu ovaj odbaciti, koji sam izabrao, Jerusalim, i dom, za koji rekoh: tu æe biti ime moje.

28 And the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?

A ostala djela Josijina i sve što je èinio, nije li zapisano u dnevniku careva Judinijeh?

29 And in his days went up Pharao Nechao king of Egypt against the king of the Assyrians to the river Euphrates: and Josias went out to meet him: and Nechao killed him in Mageddo when he saw him.

U njegovo vrijeme izide Faraon Nehaon car Misirski na cara Asirskoga k rijeci Efratu, i car Josija izide preda nj, a on kako ga vidje ubi ga u Megidonu.

30 And his servants carried him dead from Mageddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre: and the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and anointed him, and made him king in the room of his father.

I mrtva metnuše ga sluge njegove na kola, i odvezoše ga iz Megidona u Jerusalim, i pogreboše ga u grobu njegovu; i narod zemaljski uze Joahaza sina Josijina, i pomazaše ga i zacariše ga na mjesto oca njegova.

31 Twenty and three years old was Joachaz when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Amital, daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.

Dvadeset i tri godine bješe Joahazu kad poèe carovati, i carova tri mjeseca u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Amutala, kæi Jeremijina, iz Livne.

32 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers did.

On èinjaše što je zlo pred Gospodom sasvijem kako su èinili oci njegovi.

33 And Pharao Nechao removed him to Rablaam in the land of Emath, so that he should not reign in Jerusalem; and imposed a tribute on the land, a hundred talents of silver, and a hundred talents of gold.

I sveza ga Faraon Nehaon u Rivli u zemlji Ematskoj da više ne caruje u Jerusalimu, i oglobi zemlju sto talanata srebra i talanat zlata.

34 And Pharao Nechao made Eliakim son of Josias king of Juda king over them in the place of his father Josias, and he changed his name [to] Joakim, and he took Joachaz and brought him to Egypt, and he died there.

A carem postavi Faraon Nehaon Elijakima sina Josijina na mjesto Josije oca njegova, i predje mu ime Joakim; a Joahaza uze i otide u Misir, a on umrije ondje.

35 And Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao; but he assessed the land to give the money at the command of Pharao: they gave the silver and the gold [each] man according to his assessment together with the people of the land to give to Pharao Nechao.

A ono srebro i zlato dade Joakim Faraonu razrezavši na zemlju da bi dao novce po zapovijesti Faraonovoj, od svakoga uzimajuæi kako bješe cijenjen, srebro i zlato po narodu u zemlji, da da Faraonu Nehaonu.

36 Twenty-five years old [was] Joakim when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Jeldaph, daughter of Phadail of Ruma.

Dvadeset i pet godina bijaše Joakimu kad poèe carovati, i carova jedanaest godina u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Zevuda, kæi Fedajeva, iz Rume.

37 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the lord, according to all that his fathers had done.

A on èinjaše što je zlo pred Gospodom sasvijem kako su èinili oci njegovi.
