2 Chronicles 29
1 Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
Језекији беше двадесет и пет година кад поче царовати, и царова двадесет и девет година у Јерусалиму. Матери му беше име Авија, кћи Захаријина.
2 He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that David his father had done.
И чињаше што је право пред Господом сасвим како је чинио Давид отац његов.
3 In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of Yahweh’s house and repaired them.
Прве године свог царовања, првог месеца, отвори врата на дому Господњем, и оправи их.
4 He brought in the priests and the Levites and gathered them together into the wide place on the east,
И сазва свештенике и Левите, и сабра их на источну улицу,
5 and said to them, “Listen to me, you Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of Yahweh, the God of your fathers, and carry the filthiness out of the holy place.
И рече им: Чујте ме, Левити, освештајте се сада и осветите дом Господа Бога отаца својих, и изнесите нечистоту из светиње.
6 For our fathers were unfaithful, and have done that which was evil in Yahweh our God’s sight, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of Yahweh, and turned their backs.
Јер сагрешише оци наши и чинише што је зло пред Господом Богом нашим, и оставише га; и одвратише лице своје од шатора Господњег и окренуше му леђа;
7 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.
И затворише врата од трема, и погасише жишке, и кадом не кадише, нити жртава паљеница приносише у светињи Богу Израиљевом.
8 Therefore Yahweh’s wrath was on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to be tossed back and forth, to be an astonishment and a hissing, as you see with your eyes.
Зато се разгневи Господ на Јуду и на Јерусалим, те их даде да се потуцају, и да буду чудо и подсмех, како видите својим очима.
9 For behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
Јер, ето, падоше оци наши од мача, и синови наши и кћери наше и жене наше заробише се зато.
10 Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Yahweh, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.
Сада дакле наумио сам задати веру Господу Богу Израиљевом, да би се одвратила од нас жестина гнева Његовог.
11 My sons, don’t be negligent now; for Yahweh has chosen you to stand before him, to minister to him, and that you should be his ministers and burn incense.”
Синови моји, не оклевајте више, јер је вас изабрао Господ да стојите пред Њим и служите му, и да му будете слуге и да му кадите.
12 Then the Levites arose: Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;
Тада усташе Левити Мат син Амасајев и Јоило син Азаријин од синова Катових; а од синова Мераријевих Кис син Авдијев и Азарија син Јалелеилов; и од синова Гирсонових Јоах син Зимин и Еден син Јоахов;
13 and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
И од синова Елифасанових Симрије и Јеило, и од синова Асафових Захарија и Матанија;
14 and of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
И од синова Амонових Јеило и Симеј, и од синова Једутунових Семаја и Озило;
15 They gathered their brothers, sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by Yahweh’s words, to cleanse Yahweh’s house.
И скупише браћу своју, и освештавши се дођоше, како беше заповедио цар по речи Господњој, да очисте дом Господњи.
16 The priests went into the inner part of Yahweh’s house to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in Yahweh’s temple into the court of Yahweh’s house. The Levites took it from there to carry it out to the brook Kidron.
И ушавши свештеници у дом Господњи да га очисте, износише сву нечистоту што нађоше у цркви Господњој у трем дома Господњег; а Левити купише и износише напоље на поток Кедрон.
17 Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month they came to Yahweh’s porch. They sanctified Yahweh’s house in eight days, and on the sixteenth day of the first month they finished.
А почеше освећивати првог дана првог месеца; а осмог дана тог месеца уђоше у трем Господњи, и освећиваше дом Господњи осам дана, и шеснаестог дана првог месеца свршише.
18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king within the palace and said, “We have cleansed all Yahweh’s house, including the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, and the table of show bread with all its vessels.
Потом дођоше к цару Језекији и рекоше: Очистисмо сав дом Господњи и олтар за жртве паљенице и све судове његове и сто за постављање и све судове његове,
19 Moreover, we have prepared and sanctified all the vessels which King Ahaz threw away in his reign when he was unfaithful. Behold, they are before Yahweh’s altar.”
И све судове које беше бацио цар Ахаз докле цароваше грешећи, и спремисмо и осветисмо, и ено их пред олтаром Господњим.
20 Then Hezekiah the king arose early, gathered the princes of the city, and went up to Yahweh’s house.
Потом цар Језекија уста рано, и сазва управитеље градске, и отиде у дом Господњи.
21 They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. He commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on Yahweh’s altar.
И доведе седам јуница и седам овнова и седам јагањаца и седам јараца за грех, за царство и за светињу и за Јуду; и рече синовима Ароновим свештеницима да принесу на олтару Господњем.
22 So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. They killed the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar. They also killed the lambs and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
Тада заклаше говеда, и свештеници узевши крв њихову покропише олтар; заклаше и овнове, и крвљу њиховом покропише олтар; и заклаше јагањце и крвљу њиховом покропише олтар.
23 They brought near the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly; and they laid their hands on them.
Потом доведоше јарце за грех пред цара и пред збор, и они метнуше руке своје на њих.
24 Then the priests killed them, and they made a sin offering with their blood on the altar, to make atonement for all Israel; for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
И заклаше их свештеници, и очистише крвљу њиховом олтар на очишћење свему Израиљу, јер цар заповеди да се за сав народ Израиљев принесе жртва паљеница и жртва за грех.
25 He set the Levites in Yahweh’s house with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was from Yahweh by his prophets.
И постави Левите у дому Господњем с кимвалима и псалтирима и гуслама, како беше заповедио Давид и Гад виделац царев и Натан пророк; јер од Господа беше заповест преко пророка Његових.
26 The Levites stood with David’s instruments, and the priests with the trumpets.
И тако стајаху Левити са справама Давидовим а свештеници с трубама.
27 Hezekiah commanded them to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, Yahweh’s song also began, along with the trumpets and instruments of David king of Israel.
Тада заповеди Језекија да принесу жртву паљеницу на олтару. И кад се поче жртва паљеница, поче се песма Господња уз трубе и справе Давида, цара Израиљевог.
28 All the assembly worshiped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded. All this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
И сав се збор клањаше, и певачи певаху и трубачи трубљаху, и то све докле се не сврши жртва паљеница.
29 When they had finished offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshiped.
А кад свршише жртву, цар и сви који беху с њим падоше и поклонише се.
30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises to Yahweh with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped.
Потом рече цар и кнезови Левитима да хвале Господа речима Давидовим и Асафа видеоца; и хвалише с великим весељем, и савивши се поклонише се.
31 Then Hezekiah answered, “Now you have consecrated yourselves to Yahweh. Come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into Yahweh’s house.” The assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings, and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.
Тада Језекија проговори и рече: Сада посветисте руке своје Господу, приступите и донесите приносе и жртве захвалне у дом Господњи. И донесе сав збор приносе и жртве захвалне, и ко год беше вољног срца жртве паљенице.
32 The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs. All these were for a burnt offering to Yahweh.
И на број беше жртава паљеница што донесе збор, седамдесет волова, сто овнова, двеста јагањаца, све за жртву паљеницу Господу;
33 The consecrated things were six hundred head of cattle and three thousand sheep.
А других ствари посвећених беше шест стотина волова и три хиљаде оваца.
34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not skin all the burnt offerings. Therefore their brothers the Levites helped them until the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves, for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
Али мало беше свештеника, те не могаху драти свих жртава паљеница; зато им помагаху браћа њихова Левити, докле се не сврши посао и докле се не освешташе други свештеници; јер Левити беху радији освештати се него свештеници.
35 Also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings and with the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of Yahweh’s house was set in order.
И беше врло много жртава паљеница с претилином од жртава захвалних и налива на жртве паљенице. Тако би повраћена служба у дому Господњем.
36 Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced because of that which God had prepared for the people; for the thing was done suddenly.
И радоваше се Језекија и сав народ, што Бог управи народ, јер ово би нагло.
