Kings IV 16

1 In the seventeenth year of Phakee son of Romelias began Achaz the son of Joatham king of Juda to reign.

V sedemnajstem letu Remaljájevega sina Pékaha je začel kraljevati Aház, sin Judovega kralja Jotáma.

2 Twenty years old was Achaz when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not that which was right in the eyes of the Lord his God faithfully, as David his father [had done].

Dvajset let je bil Aház star, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval šestnajst let in ni počel tega, kar je bilo pravilno v očeh Gospoda, njegovega Boga, kakor njegov oče David.

3 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yes, he made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.

Temveč je hodil po poti Izraelovih kraljev, da, in svojemu sinu storil, da gre skozi ogenj, glede na ogabnosti poganov, ki jih je Gospod pregnal izpred Izraelovih otrok.

4 And he sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places, and upon the hills, and under every shady tree.

Žrtvoval je in zažigal kadilo na visokih krajih, na hribih in pod vsakim zelenim drevesom.

5 Then went up Raasson king of Syria and Phakee son of Romelias king of Israel against Jerusalem to war, and besieged Achaz, but could not prevail [against him].

Potem sta sirski kralj Recín in Izraelov kralj, Remaljájev sin Pékah, prišla gor v Jeruzalem, da se vojskujeta in oblegala Aháza, toda nista ga mogla premagati.

6 At that time Raasson king of Syria recovered Aelath to Syria, and drove out the Jews from Aelath, and the Idumeans came to Aelath, and lived there until this day.

Ob tistem času je sirski kralj Recín Elát povrnil Siriji, Jude pa pregnal iz Eláta in Sirci so prišli v Elát in tam prebivajo do današnjega dne.

7 And Achaz sent messengers to Thalgath-phellasar king of the Assyrians, saying, I am your servant and your son: come up, deliver me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are rising up against me.

Tako je Aház poslal poslance k asirskemu kralju Tiglát Piléserju, rekoč: »Jaz sem tvoj služabnik in tvoj sin. Pridi gor in me reši iz roke sirskega kralja in iz roke Izraelovega kralja, ki sta se vzdignila zoper mene.«

8 And Achaz took the silver and the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king's house, and sent gifts to the king.

Aház je vzel srebro in zlato, ki je bilo najdeno v Gospodovi hiši in v zakladnicah kraljeve hiše in to poslal kot dar asirskemu kralju.

9 And the king of the Assyrians listened to him: and the king of the Assyrians went up to Damascus and took it, and removed the inhabitants, and killed king Raasson.

Asirski kralj mu je prisluhnil, kajti asirski kralj je odšel gor zoper Damask, ga zavzel in njegovo ljudstvo odvedel ujeto v Kir in usmrtil Recína.

10 And king Achaz went to Damascus to meet Thalgath-phellasar king of the Assyrians at Damascus; and he saw an altar at Damascus. And king Achaz sent to Urias the priest the pattern of the altar, and its proportions, and all its workmanship.

Kralj Aház je odšel k Damasku, da sreča asirskega kralja Tiglát Piléserja in zagledal oltar, ki je bil pri Damasku in kralj Aház je duhovniku Urijáju poslal videz oltarja in njegov vzorec glede na vso njegovo izdelavo.

11 And Urias the priest built the altar, according to all [the directions] which king Achaz sent from Damascus.

Duhovnik Urijá je zgradil oltar glede na vse, kar je kralj Aház poslal iz Damaska. Tako ga je duhovnik Urijá naredil, preden je kralj Aház prišel iz Damaska.

12 And the king saw the altar, and went up to it,

Ko je kralj prišel iz Damaska, je kralj zagledal oltar. Kralj se je približal oltarju in daroval na njem.

13 and offered his whole burnt offering, and his meat-offering, and his drink-offering, and poured out the blood of his peace-offerings on the brazen altar that was before the Lord.

Zažgal je svojo žgalno daritev, svojo jedilno daritev, izlil svojo pitno daritev in poškropil kri svojih mirovnih daritev na oltar.

14 And he brought forward [the one] before the house of the Lord from between the altar and the house of the Lord, and he set it openly by the side of the altar northwards.

Privedel je tudi bronast oltar, ki je bil pred Gospodom od sprednjega dela hiše, izmed oltarja in Gospodove hiše ter ga postavil na severno stran oltarja.

15 And king Achaz charged Urias the priest, saying, Offer upon the great altar the whole burnt offering in the morning and the meat-offering in the evening, and the whole burnt offering of the king, and his meat-offering, and the whole burnt offering of all the people, and their meat-offering, and their drink-offering; and you shall pour all the blood of the whole burnt offering, and all the blood of [any other] sacrifice upon it: and the brazen altar shall be for me in the morning.

Kralj Aház je zapovedal duhovniku Urijáju, rekoč: »Na vélikem oltarju zažigaj jutranjo žgalno daritev, večerno jedilno daritev, kraljevo žgalno daritev, njegovo jedilno daritev z žgalno daritvijo vsega ljudstva dežele in njihovo jedilno daritvijo, njihovimi pitnimi daritvami in nanj poškropi vso kri žgalne daritve in vso kri klavne daritve, bronasti oltar pa mi bo, da z njim poizvedujem.«

16 And Urias the priest did according to all that king Achaz commanded him.

Tako je storil duhovnik Urijá, glede na vse, kar je kralj Aház zapovedal.

17 And king Achaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them, and took down the sea from the brazen oxen that were under it, and set it upon a base of stone.

Kralj Aház je odsekal robove podstavkov in [okrogel] umivalnik odstranil iz njih. Morje je snel iz bronastih volov, ki so bili pod njim in ga položil na tlak iz kamnov.

18 And he made a base for the throne in the house of the Lord, and he turned the king's entrance without in the house of the Lord because of the king of the Assyrians.

Stebrišče za šabat, ki so ga zgradili v hiši in kraljevi vhod zunaj, je zaradi asirskega kralja obrnil od Gospodove hiše.

19 And the rest of the acts of Achaz, even all that he did, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?

Torej preostala izmed Aházovih dejanj, ki jih je storil, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Judovih kraljev?

20 And Achaz slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Ezekias his son reigned in his stead.

Aház je zaspal s svojimi očeti in s svojimi očeti je bil pokopan v Davidovem mestu. Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Ezekíja.
