2 Chronicles 30
1 Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to Jehovah, the God of Israel.
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.
2 For the king had taken counsel, and his officials, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to keep the Passover in the second month.
Kralj, vijećajući s knezovima i sa svim zborom u Jeruzalemu, odluči da slave Pashu drugoga mjeseca.
3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
Toga nisu mogli učiniti u pravo vrijeme jer nije bilo dosta posvećenih svećenika, i narod se ne bijaše skupio u Jeruzalemu.
4 The thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.
I to je bilo prÓavo u kraljevim očima i u očima svega zbora,
5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover to Jehovah, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: for they had not kept it in great numbers in such sort as it is written.
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.
6 So the couriers went with the letters from the king and his officers throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, "children of Israel, turn again to Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant of you who have escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
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.
7 Do not be like your fathers, and like your brothers, who trespassed against Jehovah, the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as you see.
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.
8 Now do not be stiff-necked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves to Jehovah, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified forever, and serve Jehovah your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.
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.
9 For if you turn again to Jehovah, your brothers and your children shall find compassion before those who led them captive, and shall come again into this land: for Jehovah your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him."
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.”
10 So the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun: but they ridiculed them, and mocked them.
I tako su glasnici krenuli od grada do grada po Efrajimovoj i Manašeovoj zemlji pa do Zebuluna, a ljudi im se podsmijavali i rugali.
11 Nevertheless some from Asher and from Manasseh and from Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
Ipak su se neki od Ašerova, od Manašeova i od Zebulunova plemena ponizili i došli u Jeruzalem.
12 Also in Judah came the hand of God to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the leaders by the word of Jehovah.
Na Judejce je pak sišla Božja ruka i prožela ih jednodušnošću da čine što bijaše zapovjedio kralj i knezovi po Jahvinoj riječi.
13 Many people assembled at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly.
Skupilo se u Jeruzalemu mnogo naroda da slave Blagdan beskvasnih kruhova, drugoga mjeseca; zbor je bio vrlo velik.
14 They arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the Kidron Valley.
Tada su ustali i uklonili žrtvenike što su bili u Jeruzalemu, uklonili sve kadionike i bacili ih u potok Kidron.
15 Then they killed the Passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt offerings into the house of Jehovah.
Onda su stali klati Pashu četrnaestoga dana drugoga mjeseca, a svećenici i leviti postidjeli se i, posvetiv se, počeli unositi paljenice u Jahvin Dom.
16 They stood in their place after their order, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood which they received of the hand of the Levites.
Stali su na svoje mjesto po pravilu, po Zakonu Mojsija, čovjeka Božjeg; svećenici su škropili krvlju primajući je iz ruku levita.
17 For there were many in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves: therefore the Levites were in charge of killing the Passovers for everyone who was not clean, to sanctify them to Jehovah.
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.
18 For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover otherwise than it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, "May the good Jehovah pardon everyone
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
19 who sets his heart to seek God, Jehovah, the God of his fathers, even if they aren't clean according to the purification of the sanctuary."
tko je upravio srce da traži Boga Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca, ako i nije čist kako dolikuje Svetištu!”
20 Jehovah listened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
Jahve je uslišio Ezekiju i oprostio narodu.
21 The children of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised Jehovah day by day, singing with loud instruments to Jehovah.
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.
22 Hezekiah spoke comfortably to all the Levites who had good understanding in the service of Jehovah. So they completed the seven days of the feast, offering sacrifices of peace offerings, and making confession to Jehovah, the God of their fathers.
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.
23 The whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days; and they kept another seven days with gladness.
Potom je sav zbor vijećajući odlučio da svetkuje još sedam dana; svetkovali su još sedam dana s veseljem.
24 For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the assembly for offerings one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep, and the leaders gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep. And a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
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.
25 All the assembly of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the assembly who came out of Israel, and the foreigners who came out of the land of Israel, and who lived in Judah, rejoiced.
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.
26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.
Bilo je veliko veselje u Jeruzalemu, jer od vremena Davidova sina Salomona, izraelskoga kralja, nije bilo tako u Jeruzalemu.
27 Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even to heaven.
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.
