Otra Laiku 34

1 Astoņus gadus Josija bija vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja trīsdesmit vienu gadu Jeruzālemē.

Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.

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 eyes of Yahweh, and walked in the ways of David his ancestor, and did not turn away either 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.

For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek after the God of David, his ancestor. In the twelfth year, he began to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, the Asherah poles, and the carved figures and the cast metal figures.

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.

The people broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; he cut apart the incense altars that were above them. He broke the Asherah poles and the carved figures, and the cast metal figures in pieces until they were dust. He scattered the dust on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.

5 Un elku priesteru kaulus viņš sadedzināja uz viņu altāriem, un tā viņš šķīstīja Jūdu un Jeruzālemi.

He burned the bones of their 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,

He did the same in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, all the way to Naphtali, and in the ruins that surrounded them.

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 broke down the altars, beat the Asherah poles and the carved images into powder, and cut apart all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel. Then he returned 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.

Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, after Josiah had cleansed the land and the temple, he sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, Maaseiah, the governor of the city, and Joah son of Joahaz the secretary, to repair the house of Yahweh 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 entrusted to him the money that had been brought into the house of God, that the Levites, the guards of the doors, had gathered from Manasseh and Ephraim, from all the remnant of Israel, from all Judah and Benjamin, and from the inhabitants 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 entrusted the money to the men who supervised the work on the temple of Yahweh. These men paid the workers who repaired and restored the temple.

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 paid it to the carpenters and builders to buy cut stone and timber for braces, and to make beams for the structures that some kings of Judah had let fall apart.

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 the work faithfully. Their supervisors Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, from the sons of the Kohathites. Other Levites, all of whom were very good musicians, closely directed the workmen.

13 Un bija pār nastu nesējiem un uzraugi pār visiem darba strādniekiem. Un citi leviti bija skrīveri un darba vedēji un vārtu sargi.

These Levites were in charge of those who carried building material and all other men who worked in any way. There were also Levites who were secretaries, administrators, and gate guards.

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.

When they brought out the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of Yahweh that had been given through 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 said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the house of Yahweh.” Hilkiah brought the book 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 also reported to him, saying, “Your servants are doing everything that has been entrusted to them.

17 Un tie izbēruši to naudu, kas Tā Kunga namā atrasta, un to devuši tiem darba vedējiem un strādniekiem.

They have emptied out the money that was found in the house of Yahweh, and they gave it into the hand of the supervisors and to the workmen.”

18 Un skrīveris Safans ķēniņam teica un sacīja: priesteris Hilķija man ir devis grāmatu; un Safans no tās lasīja ķēniņam priekšā.

Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” Then Shaphan read in it to the king.

19 Kad nu ķēniņš dzirdēja tos bauslības vārdus, tad viņš saplēsa savas drēbes.

It came about that when the king had heard the words of the law, 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:

The king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Abdon son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah, his own servant, saying,

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 ask Yahweh's will for me, and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, because of the words of the book that has been found. For it is great, the anger of Yahweh that has been poured out on us. It is great, because our ancestors have not listened to the words of this book so as to obey all that was written in it.”

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.

So Hilkiah, and those whom the king had commanded, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum son of Tokhath son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (she lived in Jerusalem in the Second District), and they spoke with her in this way.

23 Un viņa uz tiem sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: sakāt tam vīram, kas jūs pie Manis sūtījis:

She said to them, “This is what Yahweh, 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 Yahweh says: See, I am about to bring disaster on this place and on its inhabitants, all the curses that have been written in the book that they have read before 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.

This will happen because they have forsaken me and have burned incense to other gods, and they have provoked me to anger by all that their hands have made, therefore, my anger will be poured out on this place, and it will not be extinguished.'

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 to the king of Judah, who sent you to ask Yahweh what he should do, this is what you will say to him, 'Yahweh, the God of Israel says this: About the words that you heard,

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 your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this place and its inhabitants, and because you have humbled yourself before me and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have listened to you—this is Yahweh's declaration—

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.

see, I will gather you to your ancestors. You will be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes will not see any of the disaster I will bring on this place and its inhabitants.'” The men took this message back to the king.

29 Tad ķēniņš sūtīja un sapulcināja visus Jūda un Jeruzālemes vecajus.

Then the king sent messengers and gathered together 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.

Then the king went up to the house of Yahweh, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, Levites, and all the people, from great to small. He then read in their hearing all the words of the book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of Yahweh.

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 in his place and made a covenant before Yahweh, to walk after Yahweh, and to keep his commandments, his regulations, and his statutes, with all his heart and all his soul, to obey the words of the covenant that were written in this book.

32 Un viņš uzņēma tai derībā visus, kas Jeruzālemē un Benjaminā atradās, un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji darīja pēc Dieva, savu tēvu Dieva, derības.

He caused all who were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand by the covenant. The inhabitants of Jerusalem acted in obedience to the covenant of God, the God of their ancestors.

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 took away all the disgusting things from the lands that belonged to the people of Israel. He made everyone in Israel worship Yahweh, their God. For all of his days, they did not turn away from following Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.
