2 Chronicles 35
1 Josiah [commanded that the people should] celebrate the Passover Festival to honor Yahweh in Jerusalem. So they slaughtered the lambs for the Passover [Festival] at the end of March.
И празнова Јосија у Јерусалиму пасху Господу; и клаше пасху четрнаестог дана првог месеца.
2 Josiah assigned to the priests the tasks that they should perform at the temple and encouraged them to do their work well.
И постави свештенике у службе њихове, и утврди их да служе у дому Господњем.
3 The [other] descendants of Levi were the ones who taught all the Israeli people; they had been dedicated to serve Yahweh. Josiah said to them, “Put the Sacred Chest in the temple that [the workers of] David’s son [King] Solomon of Israel built. But [carry it on poles; ] do not carry it on your shoulders. And do your your work well for Yahweh your God and for his Israeli people.
И рече Левитима, који учаху сав народ Израиљев и беху посвећени Господу: Наместих свети ковчег у дому који је сазидао Соломун, син Давидов цар Израиљев, не треба више да га носите на раменима; сада служите Господу Богу свом и народу Његовом Израиљу.
4 Divide yourselves into clans, obeying the instructions that King David and his son Solomon wrote.
И приправите се по домовима отаца својих по редовима својим како је наредио Давид цар Израиљев и Соломун син његов.
5 Then stand in the temple, with one group of the descendants of Levi to help each clan of the people [when they bring their offerings to the temple].
И стојте у светињи по редовима домова отачких браће своје, синова народних, и по редовима домова отачких међу Левитима.
6 Slaughter the lambs for the Passover [Festival]. Perform the rituals to cause yourselves to be acceptable to Yahweh for doing this work. Prepare the sacrifices, doing what Yahweh told Moses to tell you that you should do.”
И тако закољите пасху, и освештајте се и приправите браћу своју да би чинили како је рекао Господ преко Мојсија.
7 Josiah provided [from his own flocks and herds] 30,000 sheep and goats for the Passover sacrifices.
И Јосија даде народу од стоке јагањаца и јарића, све за пасху, свима који беху онде, на број две хиљаде и шест стотина, и три хиљаде говеда, све од царевог блага.
8 His officials also voluntarily contributed animals for the people and the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the officials who were in charge of the temple, gave to the priests 2,600 lambs and 300 cattle to be sacrifices for the Passover.
И кнезови његови дадоше драговољно народу, свештеницима и Левитима: Хелкија и Захарија и Јехило старешине у дому Божијем дадоше свештеницима за пасху две хиљаде и шест стотина јагањаца и јарића и три стотине говеда.
9 And Conaniah along with his [younger] brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the leaders of the [other] descendants of Levi, provided 5,000 lambs and 500 cattle for the other descendants of Levi, to be sacrifices for the Passover.
Хонанија и Семаја и Натанаило браћа његова, и Асавија и Јеило и Јозавад, поглавари левитски дадоше Левитима за пасху пет хиљада јагањаца и јарића, и пет стотина говеда.
10 Everything [for the Passover] was arranged: The priests and the other descendants of Levi stood in their places in their groups, like the king had commanded.
И кад би спремљено за службу, стадоше свештеници на своје место и Левити у редовима својим по заповести царевој.
11 Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs. The priests sprinkled the blood [from the bowls] that were handed to them, while the [other] descendants of Levi removed the skins from the animals.
И клаху пасху, и свештеници кропљаху крвљу примајући из њихових руку, а Левити дераху.
12 They set aside the animals to be completely burned on the altar, in order to give them to the various family groups to offer to Yahweh, obeying the instructions that were written in the laws God gave Moses. They did the same thing with the cattle.
И одвојише жртву паљеницу да даду народу по редовима домова отачких да се принесе Господу, како је написано у књизи Мојсијевој. Тако учинише и с говедима.
13 Obeying those regulations, they roasted the lambs for the Passover over the fire. And they boiled the [meat of the] sacred offerings in pots and kettles and pans, and served the meat immediately to all the people [who were there].
И пекоше пасху на огњу по обичају; а друге посвећене ствари куваше у лонцима и у котловима и у тавама, и раздаваше брзо свему народу.
14 After that, they prepared meat for themselves and for the priests, because the priests were busy until nighttime, sacrificing the offerings to be completely burned and burning the fat parts of the offerings. So the [other] descendants of Levi prepared meat for themselves and for the priests, who were descendants of Aaron, [the first Supreme Priest].
Потом готовише себи и свештеницима; јер свештеници синови Аронови имаху посла око жртава паљеница и претилина до ноћи; зато Левити готовише и себи и свештеницима синовима Ароновим.
15 The musicians, who were descendants of Asaph, stood in their places, as King David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s prophet had commanded. The men who guarded the gates [of the temple] did not need to leave their places, because their fellow descendants of Levi prepared food for them to eat.
И певачи синови Асафови стајаху на свом месту по заповести Давидовој и Асафовој и Емановој и Једутуна видеоца царевог; и вратари на свим вратима; не мицаху се од службе своје, него браћа њихова, остали Левити, готовише им.
16 So on that day everything that needed to done for worshiping Yahweh was done. They celebrated the Passover [Festival], and they presented offerings to be completely burned on the altar, which was what Josiah had commanded.
Тако би уређена сва служба Господња у онај дан да се прослави пасха и принесу жртве паљенице на олтару Господњем по заповести цара Јосије.
17 The Israelis who were there celebrated the Passover [Festival] on that day, and for seven days they celebrated the Festival of [Eating] Unleavened Bread.
И празноваше синови Израиљеви који се нађоше онде пасху у то време и празник пресних хлебова седам дана.
18 The Passover [Festival] had not been celebrated like that in Israel since the time that the prophet Samuel lived. None of the other kings of Israel had ever celebrated the Passover like Josiah did, along with the priests, the other descendants of Levi, and all [the other people of] Judah and Israel who were there with the people who lived in Jerusalem.
И не би пасха празнована као ова у Израиљу од времена Самуила пророка, нити који од царева Израиљевих празнова пасху као што је празнова Јосија са свештеницима и Левитима и са свим Јудом и Израиљем што га се нађе, и с Јерусалимљанима.
19 They celebrated this Passover Festival when Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years.
Осамнаесте године царовања Јосијиног празнована би та пасха.
20 After Josiah had done all those things to [restore the worship at] the temple, King Neco of Egypt went [with his army] to attack Carchemish [city] alongside the Euphrates [River], and Josiah marched [with his army] to fight against them.
После свега тога, кад Јосија уреди дом, дође Нехаон цар мисирски да бије Харкемис на Ефрату, и Јосија изиђе преда њ.
21 Neco sent some messengers to Josiah, to tell him, “You are the king of Judah, and there is certainly no quarrel between you and me. My army is not attacking you people; we are attacking another army, [the army of Babylonia]. God has told me to hurry. So stop opposing God, who is for me. If you do not stop, God will get rid of you.”
А он посла к њему посланике и поручи: Шта ја имам с тобом, царе Јудин? Не идем ја данас на тебе, него на дом који војује на мене, и Бог ми је заповедио да похитам. Прођи се Бога који је са мном, да те не убије.
22 But Josiah would not pay attention to him. Instead, he disguised himself in order to be able to attack [the army of Egypt without anyone recognizing him]. He did not pay any attention to what God had told Neco to say. Instead, he [and his army] went to fight Neco’s army at the plain of Megiddo.
Али се Јосија не одврати од њега, него се преобуче да се бије с њим, и не послуша речи Нехаонове из уста Божјих, него дође да се побије у пољу мегидонском.
23 Some Egyptian archers shot King Josiah. He told his officers, “Take me away from here because I am badly wounded.”
И стрелци устрелише цара Јосију, и цар рече слугама својим: Извезите ме одавде, јер сам љуто рањен.
24 So they took him out of his chariot and put him in another chariot that he had brought with him, and they took him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs where his ancestors [had been buried], and all [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah mourned for him.
И скидоше га слуге његове с кола, и метнуше на друга кола која имаше, и одвезоше га у Јерусалим; и умре, и би погребан у гробљу отаца својих. И сав Јуда и Јерусалим плака за Јосијом.
25 [The prophet] Jeremiah composed a song to mourn for Josiah, and all the men and women singers in Israel still mourn for Josiah by singing that song. That became a custom in Israel; the words of that song are written in a scroll of funeral songs.
И пророк Јеремија нарица за Јосијом. И сви певачи и певачице спомињаше у тужбалицама својим Јосију до данашњег дана, и уведоше их у обичај у Израиљу, и ето написане су у плачу.
26 A record of the other things that happened while Josiah ruled, from the time he started to rule until he died, including how he faithfully honored God by obeying everything that was written in the laws of Yahweh, is in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel and Judah’.
А остала дела Јосијина и милостиње његове, како пише у закону Господњем,
Дела његова прва и последња, ето записана су у књизи о царевима Израиљевим и Јудиним.
