Otra Laiku 34
1 Astoņus gadus Josija bija vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja trīsdesmit vienu gadu Jeruzālemē.
Josiah was eight when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for thirty-one years.
2 Un viņš darīja, kas Tam Kungam labi patika, un staigāja sava tēva Dāvida ceļos un neatkāpās ne pa labo, ne pa kreiso roku.
He did what was right in the Lord's sight and followed the ways of his forefather David—he did not deviate to the right or to the left.
3 Jo savas valdīšanas astotā gada, kad vēl bija jauns, viņš sāka meklēt sava tēva Dāvida Dievu, un divpadsmitā gadā viņš Jūdu un Jeruzālemi sāka šķīstīt no elku kalniem un Ašerām un elku tēliem un lietām bildēm.
In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, Josiah began to publicly worship the God of David his forefather, and in the twelfth year of his reign he began to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem by removing the high places, the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the metal images.
4 Un priekš viņa acīm Baālu altāri tapa salauzīti, un tos saules stabus tur virsū viņš nocirta, un tās Ašeras un tos elku tēlus un tās lietās bildes viņš salauzīja un tās darīja par pīšļiem un tos kaisīja uz to kapiem, kas tām bija upurējuši.
He had the altars of Baal torn down in front of him, and the incense altars above them cut down. In addition, the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the metal images were smashed to pieces and scattered over the graves of those who had been sacrificing to them.
5 Un elku priesteru kaulus viņš sadedzināja uz viņu altāriem, un tā viņš šķīstīja Jūdu un Jeruzālemi.
He burned the bones of the idolatrous priests on their altars. In this way he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
6 Arī pa Manasus un Efraīma un Sīmeana pilsētām līdz Naftalum, pa viņu posta vietām visapkārt,
Josiah repeated this in the towns of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, all the way to Naphtali, and in their surrounding areas.
7 Viņš nolauzīja tos altārus, un tās Ašeras, un tos elka tēlus viņš satrieca un sadragāja, un nocirta visus saules stabus pa visu Israēla zemi, un griezās atpakaļ uz Jeruzālemi.
He tore down the altars and crushed the Asherah poles and the images to dust, and cut down all the incense altars across the whole land of Israel. Then he went back to Jerusalem.
8 Savas valdīšanas astoņpadsmitā gadā, kad to zemi un to namu bija šķīstījis, viņš sūtīja Safanu, Acalijas dēlu, un Maāseju, pilsētas virsnieku, un Joaku, Joakasa dēlu, to kancleri, ka tie atkal uzkoptu Tā Kunga, sava Dieva namu.
In the eighteenth year of his reign, once he had finished cleansing the land and the Temple, Josiah sent Shaphan, son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the city governor, and Joah, son of Joahaz, the record-keeper, to repair the Temple of the Lord his God.
9 Un tie nāca pie tā augstā priestera Hilķijas, un tiem deva to naudu, kas bija sanesta Dieva namā, ko leviti, tie sliekšņa sargi, bija sakrājuši no Manasus, no Efraīma un no visiem Israēla atlikušiem un no visas Jūda un Benjamina cilts un no Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājiem.
They went to Hilkiah the high priest and gave him the money that had been brought to God's Temple. The Levites at the entrances had collected this money from the people of Manasseh and Ephraim, from what was left of the people of Israel, as well as contributions from Judah, Benjamin, and the people of Jerusalem.
10 Un tie to deva tiem darba vedējiem rokā, kas pār Tā Kunga namu bija iecelti, un tie darba vedēji to deva tiem strādniekiem, kas pie Tā Kunga nama strādāja, to namu sataisīt un uzkopt.
They handed it over to those who were supervising the repair work on Lord's Temple, who in turn paid the workmen doing the restoring and repairing.
11 Un tie to deva tiem amatniekiem un nama taisītājiem, pirkt izcirstus akmeņus un kokus sijām un baļķus tiem namiem, ko Jūda ķēniņi bija postā pametuši.
They also paid carpenters and builders to buy cut stone, as well as timber for joists and beams for the buildings that the kings of Judah had let deteriorate.
12 Un tie vīri darīja savu darbu uzticīgi. Un viņu uzraugi bija Jakats un Obadija, leviti no Merarus bērniem, un Mešulams no Kehāta bērniem; tie to darbu uzraudzīja; un visi tie leviti mācēja spēlēt mūzikas rīkus,
The men did good, honest work. In charge of them were Jahath and Obadiah, Levites from the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, Levites from the sons of the Kohathites. The Levites, all skilled musicians,
13 Un bija pār nastu nesējiem un uzraugi pār visiem darba strādniekiem. Un citi leviti bija skrīveri un darba vedēji un vārtu sargi.
were in charge of the workmen and directed everyone involved, depending on what was required. Some of the Levites were scribes, some officers, and some gatekeepers.
14 Un kad tie to naudu izņēma, kas bija sanesta Tā Kunga namā, tad priesteris Hilķija atrada Tā Kunga bauslības grāmatu, kas caur Mozu dota.
In the process of taking out the money donated to the Lord's Temple, Hilkiah the priest discovered the Book of the Lord's Law written down by Moses.
15 Un Hilķija atbildēja un sacīja uz skrīveri Safanu: es esmu atradis to bauslības grāmatu Tā Kunga namā. Un Hilķija deva Safanam to grāmatu.
Hilkiah told Shaphan the scribe, “I've found the Book of the Law in the Lord's Temple.” He gave it to Shaphan.
16 Un Safans nesa to grāmatu ķēniņam un teica ķēniņam un sacīja: visu, ko tu saviem kalpiem pavēlējis, to tie dara.
Shaphan took the book to the king and told him, “We your servants are doing everything we were instructed to do.
17 Un tie izbēruši to naudu, kas Tā Kunga namā atrasta, un to devuši tiem darba vedējiem un strādniekiem.
The money collected at the Lord's Temple has been handed over to those who are supervising the workers, paying them to do the repairs.”
18 Un skrīveris Safans ķēniņam teica un sacīja: priesteris Hilķija man ir devis grāmatu; un Safans no tās lasīja ķēniņam priekšā.
Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest gave me this book.” Shaphan read it to the king.
19 Kad nu ķēniņš dzirdēja tos bauslības vārdus, tad viņš saplēsa savas drēbes.
When the king heard what the Law said, he tore his clothes.
20 Un ķēniņš pavēlēja Hilķijam un Aīkamam, Safana dēlam, un Abdonam, Mihas dēlam, un skrīverim Safanam, un Azajam, ķēniņa kalpam, un sacīja:
Then he issue the following orders to Hilkiah, Ahikam, son of Shaphan, Abdon, son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah, the king's assistant:
21 Ejat, vaicājiet To Kungu par mani un par visiem atlikušiem iekš Israēla un Jūda, par šās grāmatas vārdiem, kas atrasta. Jo Tā Kunga bardzība ir liela, kas pret mums iedegusies, tāpēc ka mūsu tēvi nav turējuši Tā Kunga vārdu, nedz to darījuši, kas viss šai grāmatā rakstīts.
“Go and talk to the Lord for me, and also for those who still live in Israel and Judah, about what is said in the book that's been found. For the Lord must be really angry with us because our forefathers have not obeyed the Lord's instructions by following all that's written in this book.”
22 Tad Hilķija ar ķēniņa vīriem nogāja pie pravietes Uldas, Šaluma, Takeata dēla Azras dēla, tā drēbju sarga sievas, (tā dzīvoja Jeruzālemē otrā pusē, ) un to uz viņu runāja.
Hilkiah and those the king had selected went and talked with Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, custodian of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the city's second quarter.
23 Un viņa uz tiem sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: sakāt tam vīram, kas jūs pie Manis sūtījis:
Huldah told them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me,
24 Tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, Es sūtīšu nelaimi šai vietai un viņas iedzīvotājiem, visus tos lāstus, kas tai grāmatā rakstīti, ko tie lasījuši Jūda ķēniņa priekšā;
this is what the Lord says: I am about to bring disaster down on this place and on its people, in accordance with all the curses written in the book that has been read to the king of Judah.
25 Tāpēc ka tie Mani atstājuši un kvēpinājuši citiem dieviem, Mani kaitinādami ar visiem saviem roku darbiem, tad Mana bardzība pret šo vietu iedegsies un neizdzisīs.
They have abandoned me and offered sacrifices to other gods, making me angry by everything they've done. My anger will be poured out upon this place and will not be stopped.
26 Bet uz Jūda ķēniņu, kas jūs sūtījis, To Kungu vaicāt, jums tā būs sacīt: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, par tiem vārdiem, ko tu esi dzirdējis.
But tell the king of Judah who sent you to ask the Lord, tell him this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: As for the what you heard read to you—
27 Tādēļ ka tava sirds ir mīksta palikusi un tu esi pazemojies Dieva priekšā, dzirdēdams Viņa vārdus pret šo vietu un viņas iedzīvotājiem, un esi pazemojies Manā priekšā un saplēsis savas drēbes un raudājis Manā priekšā, tad Es tevi esmu paklausījis, saka Tas Kungs.
because you were receptive and repentant before God when you heard his warnings against this place and against its people, and because you have repented, tearing your clothes and weeping before me, I have also heard you, declares the Lord.
28 Redzi, Es tevi likšu pie taviem tēviem, un tu ar mieru tapsi glabāts savā kapā pie viņiem, un tavas acis neredzēs visu to ļaunumu, ko Es sūtīšu šai vietai un viņas iedzīvotājiem. Un tie ķēniņam atsacīja šos vārdus.
All this will not happen until after you have died, and you will die in peace. You will not see all the disaster that I'm going to bring down on this place and on its inhabitants.” They went back to the king and gave him her response.
29 Tad ķēniņš sūtīja un sapulcināja visus Jūda un Jeruzālemes vecajus.
Then the king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
30 Un ķēniņš gāja Tā Kunga namā līdz ar visiem Jūda vīriem un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājiem, un ar priesteriem un levitiem un visiem ļaudīm, lieliem un maziem, un priekš viņu ausīm tapa lasīti visi derības vārdi no tās grāmatas, kas bija atrasta Tā Kunga namā.
He went to the Lord's Temple with all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, together with the priests and the Levites, all the people from the least to the greatest, and he read to them the whole Book of the Agreement that had been discovered in the Lord's Temple.
31 Un ķēniņš stāvēja savā vietā un derēja derību Tā Kunga priekšā, Tam Kungam pakaļ staigāt un no visas savas sirds un no visas savas dvēseles turēt Viņa baušļus un Viņa liecības un Viņa likumus un darīt tos derības vārdus, kas rakstīti šinī grāmatā.
The king stood by the pillar and made a solemn agreement before the Lord to follow him and to keep his commandments, laws, and regulations with total dedication, and to observe the requirements of the agreement as written in the book.
32 Un viņš uzņēma tai derībā visus, kas Jeruzālemē un Benjaminā atradās, un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji darīja pēc Dieva, savu tēvu Dieva, derības.
Then he had everyone present from Jerusalem and Benjamin stand up to show they agreed to it. So all the people of Jerusalem accepted and followed the agreement with God, the God of their forefathers.
33 Un Josija izdeldēja visas negantības no visām zemēm, kas Israēla bērniem piederēja, un darīja, ka visi, kas iekš Israēla atradās, kalpoja Tam Kungam, savam Dievam. Kamēr viņš dzīvoja, tie neatkāpās no Tā Kunga, savu tēvu Dieva.
Josiah demolished all the vile idols from the whole territory belonging to the Israelites, and he made everyone in Israel serve the Lord their God. During his reign they did not give up worshiping the Lord, the God of their fathers.
