2 Chronicles 24
1 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
Joašu je bilo sedam godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je četrdeset godina u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Sibja iz Beer Šebe.
2 Joash did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
Joaš je činio što je pravo u Jahvinim očima dok je bio živ svećenik Jojada.
3 Jehoiada took for him two wives, and he became the father of sons and daughters.
Jojada ga je oženio dvjema ženama i on je s njima imao sinova i kćeri.
4 After this, Joash intended to restore Yahweh’s house.
Poslije toga nakanio je u srcu obnoviti Jahvin Dom.
5 He gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather money to repair the house of your God from all Israel from year to year. See that you expedite this matter.” However the Levites didn’t do it right away.
Skupivši svećenike i levite, reče im: “Zađite po judejskim gradovima i kupite od svih Izraelaca novaca da se obnovi Dom vašega Boga, od godine do godine, a vi pohitite s tim poslom.” Ali se levitima nije htjelo.
6 The king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, “Why haven’t you required of the Levites to bring in the tax of Moses the servant of Yahweh, and of the assembly of Israel, out of Judah and out of Jerusalem, for the Tent of the Testimony?”
Zato kralj pozva poglavara Jojadu i reče mu: “Zašto ne tražiš od levita da donose iz Judeje i iz Jeruzalema porez koji je odredio Jahvin sluga Mojsije i Izraelov zbor za Šator svjedočanstva?
7 For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up God’s house; and they also gave all the dedicated things of Yahweh’s house to the Baals.
Atalija i njeni sinovi bijahu poharali Božji Dom, i sve stvari što su bile posvećene Jahvinu Domu upotrijebili su za baale.”
8 So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of Yahweh’s house.
Potom kralj zapovjedi da se napravi kovčeg i stavi izvana na vrata Jahvina Doma.
9 They made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for Yahweh the tax that Moses the servant of God laid on Israel in the wilderness.
Oglasiše po Judi i Jeruzalemu da se donosi Jahvi porez što ga bijaše odredio Božji sluga Mojsije Izraelu u pustinji.
10 All the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had filled it.
Obradovaše se svi knezovi i sav narod i počeše donositi i bacati u kovčeg dok se nije napunio.
11 Whenever the chest was brought to the king’s officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king’s scribe and the chief priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
Leviti bi donosili kovčeg kraljevskom nadgledništvu, i kad bi se vidjelo da ima mnogo novaca, dolazio je kraljev tajnik i povjerenik svećeničkog poglavara te bi ispraznili kovčeg. Onda su ga opet odnosili i stavljali na njegovo mjesto. Tako su činili svaki dan i sabrali mnogo novca.
12 The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of Yahweh’s house. They hired masons and carpenters to restore Yahweh’s house, and also those who worked iron and bronze to repair Yahweh’s house.
Onda su ga kralj i Jojada davali poslovođama nad poslom oko Jahvina Doma, a oni su za plaću unajmljivali klesare i drvodjelce da se obnovi Jahvin Dom, pa kovače i mjedare da se popravi Jahvin Dom.
13 So the workmen worked, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands. They set up God’s house as it was designed, and strengthened it.
Poslovođe su poslovale i popravljanje je napredovalo pod njihovom upravom; vratili su Božji Dom u red i obnovili ga.
14 When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, from which were made vessels for Yahweh’s house, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, including spoons and vessels of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in Yahweh’s house continually all the days of Jehoiada.
A kad su sve svršili, donijeli su pred kralja i Jojadu novce što su ostali; od toga su napravili posuđe za Jahvin Dom, posuđe za posluživanje, za paljenje, plitice i druge zlatne i srebrne predmete. Paljenice su se prinosile u Jahvinu Domu bez prestanka dok je god živio Jojada.
15 But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died. He was one hundred thirty years old when he died.
Onda je Jojada, ostarjevši i nasitivši se života, umro u sto i tridesetoj godini.
16 They buried him in David’s city among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.
Sahranili su ga u Davidovu gradu kod kraljeva, jer je činio dobro u Izraelu i prema Bogu i njegovu Domu.
17 Now after the death of Jehoiada, the princes of Judah came and bowed down to the king. Then the king listened to them.
Poslije Jojadine smrti došli su Judini knezovi i poklonili se kralju. Tada ih kralj poče slušati.
18 They abandoned the house of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and the idols, so wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.
Judejci bijahu ostavili Jahvu, Boga otaca, i stali služiti ašerama i likovima; došla je Božja srdžba na Judejce i na Jeruzalem za tu krivicu.
19 Yet he sent prophets to them to bring them again to Yahweh, and they testified against them; but they would not listen.
Slao im je Bog proroke da ih obrate k Jahvi, oni su ih opominjali, ali oni nisu htjeli slušati.
20 The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them, “God says, ‘Why do you disobey Yahweh’s commandments, so that you can’t prosper? Because you have forsaken Yahweh, he has also forsaken you.’”
Tada Božji duh napuni Jojadina sina, svećenika Zahariju, koji, stavši poviše naroda, reče: “Ovako veli Bog: 'Zašto kršite Jahvine zapovijedi? Zašto nećete da budete sretni? Kako ste vi ostavili Jahvu, i on će vas ostaviti.'”
21 They conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of Yahweh’s house.
Ali su se oni pobunili protiv njega i zasuli ga kamenjem po kraljevoj zapovijedi u predvorju Jahvina Doma.
22 Thus Joash the king didn’t remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. When he died, he said, “May Yahweh look at it, and repay it.”
Ni kralj Joaš ne sjeti se ljubavi koju mu učini otac Jojada, nego mu ubi sina; a on je umirući rekao: “Jahve neka vidi i osveti!”
23 At the end of the year, the army of the Syrians came up against him. They came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all their plunder to the king of Damascus.
Kad je prošla godina dana, diže se na nj aramejska vojska i, navalivši na Judu i Jeruzalem, pobi sve knezove u narodu i posla sav plijen kralju u Damask.
24 For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; and Yahweh delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment on Joash.
Iako je aramejska vojska bila malena po ljudstvu, ipak joj je Jahve predao u ruke vrlo brojnu vojsku, jer ostaviše Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca. Tako su se Aramejci na Joašu osvetili.
25 When they had departed from him (for they left him seriously wounded), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died. They buried him in David’s city, but they didn’t bury him in the tombs of the kings.
Kad su otišli od njega, ostaviv ga u teškim bolestima, pobuniše se protiv njega njegovi časnici jer bijaše ubio sina svećenika Jojade, pa i oni njega ubiše na postelji te je poginuo; sahranili su ga u Davidovu gradu, ali ga nisu ukopali u kraljevskoj grobnici.
26 These are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
Evo onih što se urotiše protiv njega: Zabad, sin Amonke Šimeate, i Jozabad, sin Moapke Šimrite.
27 Now concerning his sons, the greatness of the burdens laid on him, and the rebuilding of God’s house, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
A o njegovim sinovima i o velikim proroštvima protiv njega, o obnavljanju Doma Božjega, sve je zapisano u tumačenju Knjige o kraljevima. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Amasja.
