2 Chronicles 24
1 A son of seven years [is] Joash in his reigning, and forty years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zibiah of Beer-Sheba.
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 And Joash doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
Joaš je činio što je pravo u Jahvinim očima dok je bio živ svećenik Jojada.
3 And Jehoiada taketh for him two wives, and he begetteth sons and daughters.
Jojada ga je oženio dvjema ženama i on je s njima imao sinova i kćeri.
4 And it cometh to pass after this, it hath been with the heart of Joash to renew the house of Jehovah,
Poslije toga nakanio je u srcu obnoviti Jahvin Dom.
5 and he gathereth the priests and the Levites, and saith to them, 'Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather from all Israel money to strengthen the house of your God sufficiently year by year, and ye, ye do haste to the matter;' and the Levites have not hasted.
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 And the king calleth for Jehoiada the head, and saith to him, 'Wherefore hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tribute of Moses, servant of Jehovah, and of the assembly of Israel, 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 sons of Athaliah, the wicked one, have broken up the house of God, and also, all the holy things of the house of Jehovah they have prepared for Baalim.'
Atalija i njeni sinovi bijahu poharali Božji Dom, i sve stvari što su bile posvećene Jahvinu Domu upotrijebili su za baale.”
8 And the king speaketh, and they make one chest, and put it at the gate of the house of Jehovah without,
Potom kralj zapovjedi da se napravi kovčeg i stavi izvana na vrata Jahvina Doma.
9 and give an intimation in Judah and in Jerusalem to bring in to Jehovah the tribute of Moses, 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 And all the heads, and all the people rejoice, and they bring in, and cast into the chest, unto completion.
Obradovaše se svi knezovi i sav narod i počeše donositi i bacati u kovčeg dok se nije napunio.
11 And it cometh to pass, at the time one bringeth in the chest for the inspection of the king by the hand of the Levites, and at their seeing that the money [is] abundant, that a scribe of the king hath come in, and an officer of the head-priest, and they empty the chest, and take it up and turn it back unto its place; thus they have done day by day, and gather 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 And the king and Jehoiada give it unto the doers of the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and they are hiring hewers and artificers to renew the house of Jehovah, and also — to artificers in iron and brass to strengthen the house of Jehovah.
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 And those doing the business work, and there goeth up lengthening to the work by their hand, and they establish the house of God, by its proper measure, and strengthen it.
Poslovođe su poslovale i popravljanje je napredovalo pod njihovom upravom; vratili su Božji Dom u red i obnovili ga.
14 And at their completing [it], they have brought in before the king and Jehoiada the rest of the money, and they make it vessels for the house of Jehovah, vessels of serving, and of offering up, and spoons, even vessels of gold and silver; and they are causing burnt-offerings to ascend in the house of Jehovah 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 And Jehoiada is aged and satisfied with days, and dieth — a son of a hundred and thirty years in his death,
Onda je Jojada, ostarjevši i nasitivši se života, umro u sto i tridesetoj godini.
16 and they bury him in the city of David, with the kings, for he hath done good in Israel, and with 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 And after the death of Jehoiada come in have heads of Judah, and bow themselves to the king; then hath the king hearkened unto them,
Poslije Jojadine smrti došli su Judini knezovi i poklonili se kralju. Tada ih kralj poče slušati.
18 and they forsake the house of Jehovah, God of their fathers, and serve the shrines and the idols, and there is wrath upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their guilt.
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 And He sendeth among them prophets, to bring them back unto Jehovah, and they testify against them, and they have not given ear;
Slao im je Bog proroke da ih obrate k Jahvi, oni su ih opominjali, ali oni nisu htjeli slušati.
20 and the Spirit of God hath clothed Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, and he standeth over-against the people, and saith to them, 'Thus said God, Why are ye transgressing the commands of Jehovah, and prosper not? because ye have forsaken Jehovah — He doth forsake 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 And they conspire against him, and stone him with stones by the command of the king, in the court of the house of Jehovah,
Ali su se oni pobunili protiv njega i zasuli ga kamenjem po kraljevoj zapovijedi u predvorju Jahvina Doma.
22 and Joash the king hath not remembered the kindness that Jehoiada his father did with him, and slayeth his son, and in his death he said, 'Jehovah doth see, and require.'
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 And it cometh to pass, at the turn of the year, come up hath the force of Aram against him, and they come in unto Judah and Jerusalem, and destroy all the heads of the people from the people, and all their spoil they have sent 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 with few men have the force of Aram come in, and Jehovah hath given into their hand a mighty force for multitude, because they have forsaken Jehovah, God of their fathers; and with Joash they have executed judgments.
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 And in their going from him — for they left him with many diseases — his servants themselves have conspired against him, for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slay him on his bed, and he dieth; and they bury him in the city of David, and have not buried him in the graves 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 And these [are] those conspiring against him, Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
Evo onih što se urotiše protiv njega: Zabad, sin Amonke Šimeate, i Jozabad, sin Moapke Šimrite.
27 As to his sons, and the greatness of the burden upon him, and the foundation of the house of God, lo, they are written on the 'Inquiry' of the book of the Kings; and reign doth Amaziah his son in his stead.
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.
