¹Josiah kept a Passover to Yahweh in Jerusalem: and they killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

¹Potom je Jošija svetkovao Pashu Jahvi u Jeruzalemu: klalo se pashalno jagnje četrnaestoga dana prvoga mjeseca.

²He set the priests in their offices, and encouraged them to the service of the house of Yahweh.

²Postavio je svećenike na njihove službe, osokolivši ih na službu u Jahvinu Domu.

³He said to the Levites who taught all Israel, who were holy to Yahweh, “Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built. There shall no more be a burden on your shoulders. Now serve Yahweh your God, and his people Israel.

³Zatim je rekao levitima koji su poučavali sve Izraelce i bili posvećeni Jahvi: "Metnite sveti Kovčeg u Dom koji je sagradio Davidov sin Salomon, izraelski kralj; ne smijete ga više nositi na ramenima; sada služite Jahvi, svojem Bogu, i njegovu izraelskom narodu!

⁴Prepare yourselves after your fathers’ houses by your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.

⁴I pripravite se po otačkim domovima, po redovima, kako je napisao izraelski kralj David i propisao sin mu Salomon.

⁵Stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of your brothers the children of the people, and let there be for each a portion of a fathers’ house of the Levites.

⁵Stojte u Svetinji po redovima otačkih domova svoje braće, običnoga puka, i po redu levitskoga otačkog doma.

⁶Kill the Passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the word of Yahweh by Moses.”

⁶I tako koljite pashalno janje te se posvetite i pripravite svoju braću da svetkuju kako je zapovjedio Jahve preko Mojsija."

⁷Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and young goats, all of them for the Passover offerings, to all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls: these were of the king’s substance.

⁷Jošija je darovao običnom puku od sitne stoke jaganjaca i jarića, sve za Pashu, svima koji su se našli ondje, na broj trideset tisuća, i tri tisuće goveda, sve to s kraljeva imanja.

⁸His princes gave for a freewill offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of God’s house, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small livestock, and three hundred head of cattle.

⁸Njegovi su knezovi dragovoljno darovali narodu, svećenicima i levitima, i to: Hilkija, Zaharija i Jehiel, predstojnici u Božjem Domu, dali su svećenicima za Pashu dvije tisuće i šest stotina jaganjaca i jarića i tri stotine goveda.

⁹Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small livestock, and five hundred head of cattle.

⁹A Konanija, Šemaja i Netanel, njegova braća Hašabja, Jehiel i Jozabad, levitski knezovi, darovali su levitima za Pashu pet tisuća grla sitne stoke i pet stotina goveda.

¹⁰So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their divisions, according to the king’s commandment.

¹⁰A kad je bila uređena služba, stali su svećenici na svoje mjesto i leviti u svojim redovima po kraljevoj zapovijedi.

¹¹They killed the Passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood which they received of their hand, and the Levites flayed them.

¹¹Klali su Pashu, a svećenici su škropili krvlju, dok su leviti odirali kožu.

¹²They removed the burnt offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of the children of the people, to offer to Yahweh, as it is written in the book of Moses. So they did with the cattle.

¹²Onda su pripravili paljenice da ih dadu običnom puku po redovima otačkih domova da ih prinese Jahvi, kako je napisano u Mojsijevoj knjizi. Tako su učinili i s govedima.

¹³They roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance: and the holy offerings boiled they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of the people.

¹³Pekli su Pashu na ognju po običaju, a ostale su posvećene stvari kuhali u loncima, kotlovima i zdjelama i brzo ih raznosili svemu običnom puku.

¹⁴Afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests, because the priests the sons of Aaron were busy with offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night: therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.

¹⁴Poslije su pripravljali Pashu sebi i svećenicima, jer su svećenici, Aronovi sinovi, bili zaposleni prinošenjem paljenica i pretiline do noći; zato su leviti pripravljali sebi i svećenicima, Aronovim sinovima.

¹⁵The singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the porters were at every gate: they didn’t need to depart from their service; for their brothers the Levites prepared for them.

¹⁵A pjevači, Asafovi sinovi, stajali su na svojem mjestu, kako je bio zapovjedio David, Asaf, Heman i kraljev vidjelac Jedutun. Vratari su stajali na svakim vratima; oni se nisu micali od službe, nego su im njihova braća leviti pripravljala sve.

¹⁶So all the service of Yahweh was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover, and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of Yahweh, according to the commandment of king Josiah.

¹⁶Tako je bila uređena sva Jahvina služba onoga dana da se proslavi Pasha i da se prinesu paljenice na Jahvinu žrtveniku po zapovijedi kralja Jošije.

¹⁷The children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.

¹⁷Tako su Izraelovi sinovi, koji su se našli ondje, u to doba sedam dana slavili Pashu i Blagdan beskvasnih kruhova.

¹⁸There was no Passover like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did any of the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

¹⁸Pasha kao ova u Izraelu nije se slavila od vremena proroka Samuela niti je ijedan od izraelskih kraljeva slavio Pashu kao što ju je slavio Jošija - sa svećenicima, levitima i sa svim Judejcima i Izraelcima, koliko ih se god našlo, i s Jeruzalemcima.

¹⁹In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this Passover kept.

¹⁹Ta se Pasha svetkovala osamnaeste godine Jošijina kraljevanja.

²⁰After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.

²⁰Poslije svega toga, kad je Jošija uredio Dom, došao je egipatski kralj Neko da se bije kod Karkemiša na Eufratu, a Jošija je izišao preda nj.

²¹But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, “What have I to do with you, you king of Judah? I come not against you this day, but against the house with which I have war. God has commanded me to make haste. Beware that it is God who is with me, that he not destroy you.”

²¹Kralj Neko poslao je Jošiji glasnike i poručio: "Što ja imam s tobom, judejski kralju? Ne idem ja danas na tebe, nego na dom s kojim sam u ratu, i Bog mi je zapovjedio da se požurim. Okani se Boga koji je sa mnom da te ne upropastim!"

²²Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and didn’t listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

²²Ali Jošija nije odvratio lica od njega, nego se ojunačio da se bije s njim; ne poslušavši Nekovih riječi iz Božjih usta, došao je da se bije na Megidskom polju.

²³The archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, because I am seriously wounded!”

²³Strijelci ustrijeliše kralja Jošiju, a on reče slugama: "Izvedite me jer sam teško ranjen."

²⁴So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

²⁴Sluge ga skinuše s bojnih kola i metnuše u druga kola koja je imao, pa ga odvezoše u Jeruzalem; ondje je umro i bio sahranjen u grobnici otaca. Sva Judeja s Jeruzalemom plakala je za Jošijom.

²⁵Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel: and behold, they are written in the lamentations.

²⁵I Jeremija je protužio za Jošijom. I svi pjevači i pjevačice spominju u tužbalicama Jošiju do danas; uveli su ih u običaj u Izraelu, i eno su zapisane u Tužbalicama.

²⁶Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of Yahweh,

²⁶Ostala Jošijina djela i njegova pobožnost, vršeni onako kako piše u Jahvinu Zakonu,

²⁷and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

²⁷svi njegovi pothvati, od prvih do posljednjih, zapisani su u Knjizi o izraelskim i judejskim kraljevima.
