2 Kroniška 24
1 Joáš je bil star sedem let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval štirideset let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Cibja iz Beeršébe.
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.
2 Joáš je delal to, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh, vse dni duhovnika Jojadája.
Joash did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 Jojadá je zanj vzel dve ženi in zaplodil je sinove in hčere.
Jehoiada took for him two wives, and he became the father of sons and daughters.
4 Za tem se je pripetilo, da je imel Joáš na srcu, da popravi Gospodovo hišo.
After this, Joash intended to restore the LORD’s house.
5 Skupaj je zbral duhovnike in Lévijevce ter jim rekel: »Pojdite ven v Judova mesta in od vsega Izraela zbirajte denar za popravilo hiše svojega Boga iz leta v leto in glejte, da pohitrite zadevo. Vendar Lévijevci niso pohiteli.
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.
6 Kralj je dal poklicati vodja Jojadája ter mu rekel: »Zakaj nisi od Lévijevcev zahteval, da iz Juda in Jeruzalema prinašajo nabirko, glede na zapoved Mojzesa, Gospodovega služabnika in iz Izraelove skupnosti za šotorsko svetišče pričevanja?
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 the LORD, and of the assembly of Israel, out of Judah and out of Jerusalem, for the Tent of the Testimony?”
7 Kajti sinovi te zlobne ženske Atalje so razbili Božjo hišo in tudi vse posvečene stvari Gospodove hiše so podelili Báalom.
For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up God’s house; and they also gave all the dedicated things of the LORD’s house to the Baals.
8 Na kraljevo zapoved so naredili zaboj in ga postavili zunaj pri velikih vratih Gospodove hiše.
So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the LORD’s house.
9 Naredili so razglas po vsem Judu in Jeruzalemu, naj prinašajo Gospodu nabirko, ki jo je Božji služabnik Mojzes naložil Izraelu v divjini.
They made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for the LORD the tax that Moses the servant of God laid on Israel in the wilderness.
10 Vsi princi in vse ljudstvo se je veselilo, prinašalo in metalo v zaboj, dokler niso končali.
All the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had filled it.
11 Torej pripetilo se je, da kadar je bil zaboj po roki Lévijevcev prinesen v kraljevo pisarno in ko so videli, da je bilo v njem veliko denarja, sta prišla kraljevi pisar in častnik vélikega duhovnika ter izpraznila zaboj in ga vzela ter ga ponovno odnesla na njegov kraj. Tako so delali dan za dnem in zbrali denarja v obilju.
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.
12 Kralj in Jojadá sta ga dajala tistim, ki so opravljali delo službe Gospodove hiše ter najemala zidarje in tesarje, da obnovijo Gospodovo hišo in tudi tiste, ki so kovali železo in bron, da popravijo Gospodovo hišo.
The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the LORD’s house. They hired masons and carpenters to restore the LORD’s house, and also those who worked iron and bronze to repair the LORD’s house.
13 Tako so delavci delali in delo dovršili in Božjo hišo so postavili v njeno stanje in jo utrdili.
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.
14 Ko so jo končali, so preostanek denarja prinesli pred kralja in Jojadája, s čimer so bile narejene posode za Gospodovo hišo, torej posode za služenje in da z njimi darujejo ter žlice in posode iz zlata in srebra. In nenehno so darovali žgalne daritve v Gospodovi hiši, vse Jojadájeve dni.
When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, from which were made vessels for the LORD’s house, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, including spoons and vessels of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in the LORD’s house continually all the days of Jehoiada.
15 Toda Jojadá se je postaral in ko je umrl, je bil izpolnjen z dnevi in ko je umrl, je bil star sto trideset let.
But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died. He was one hundred thirty years old when he died.
16 Pokopali so ga med kralji v Davidovem mestu, ker je delal dobro v Izraelu, tako za Boga kot za svojo hišo.
They buried him in David’s city among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.
17 Torej po smrti Jojadája so prišli Judovi princi in se globoko priklonili kralju. Potem jim je kralj prisluhnil.
Now after the death of Jehoiada, the princes of Judah came and bowed down to the king. Then the king listened to them.
18 Zapustili so hišo Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov in služili ašeram in malikom in zaradi tega njihovega prekrška je prišel bes nad Juda in Jeruzalem.
They abandoned the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and the idols, so wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.
19 Vendar jim je pošiljal preroke, da jih ponovno privedejo h Gospodu in ti so pričevali zoper njih, toda oni jim niso hoteli prisluhnili.
Yet he sent prophets to them to bring them again to the LORD, and they testified against them; but they would not listen.
20 In Božji Duh je prišel nad Zeharjá, sina duhovnika Jojadája, ki je stal nad ljudstvom ter jim rekel: »Tako govori Bog: ›Zakaj prestopate Gospodove zapovedi, da ne morete uspevati? Ker ste zapustili Gospoda, je tudi on zapustil vas.‹«
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 the LORD’s commandments, so that you can’t prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, he has also forsaken you.’”
21 Oni pa so se zarotili zoper njega in ga na kraljevo zapoved kamnali s kamni na dvoru Gospodove hiše.
They conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the LORD’s house.
22 Tako se kralj Joáš ni spomnil prijaznosti, ki mu jo je storil njegov oče Jojadá, temveč je usmrtil njegovega sina. In ko je ta umiral, je rekel: » Gospod glej na to in to zahtevaj.«
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 the LORD look at it, and repay it.”
23 Pripetilo se je ob koncu leta, da je zoper njega prišla sirska vojska. Prišli so do Juda in Jeruzalema in izmed ljudstva uničili vse prince ljudstva in ves njihov plen poslali h kralju v Damask.
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.
24 Kajti vojska Sircev je prišla z majhno skupino mož in Gospod je v njihovo roko izročil zelo veliko množico, ker so zapustili Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov. Tako so izvršili sodbo nad Joášem.
For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; and the LORD delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment on Joash.
25 Ko so odšli od njega (kajti zapustili so ga v velikih boleznih), so se njegovi lastni služabniki zarotili zoper njega zaradi krvi sinov duhovnika Jojadája in ga usmrtili na njegovi postelji in je umrl. Pokopali so ga v Davidovem mestu, toda niso ga pokopali v mavzolejih kraljev.
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.
26 To sta tista [dva], ki sta se zarotila zoper njega: Zabád, sin Amónke Šimáte in Jozabád, sin Moábke Šimrite.
These are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
27 Torej glede njegovih sinov in veličine bremen, položenih nadenj in obnove Božje hiše, glej, ta so zapisana v zgodbi knjige kraljev. In namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Amacjá.
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.
