2 Kraljevima 16

1 Sedamnaeste godine vladanja Pekaha, sina Remalijina, postade judejskim kraljem Ahaz, sin Jotamov.

In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz son of Jotham, king of Judah, has reigned.

2 Ahazu je bilo dvadeset godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je šesnaest godina u Jeruzalemu, ali nije činio što je pravo u očima Jahve, Boga njegova, kao što je činio predak mu David.

Ahaz [is] a son of twenty years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and he has not done that which [is] right in the eyes of his God YHWH, like his father David,

3 Živio je poput izraelskih kraljeva i sam je proveo svoga sina kroz oganj po gnusnom običaju naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao pred Izraelovim sinovima.

and he walks in the way of the kings of Israel, and he has also caused his son to pass over into fire, according to the abominations of the nations that YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,

4 Prinosio je žrtve i kad po uzvišicama i brežuljcima i pod svakim zelenim drvetom.

and he sacrifices and makes incense in high places, and on the heights, and under every green tree.

5 Tada aramejski kralj Resin i Pekah, sin Remalijin, kralj Izraela, pođoše u rat protiv Jeruzalema. Opsjedoše ga, ali ga ne mogoše osvojiti.

Then Rezin king of Aram, and Pekah son of Remaliah, king of Israel, go up to Jerusalem, to battle, and they lay siege to Ahaz, and they have not been able to fight.

6 U to vrijeme aramejski kralj Resin vrati Elat Edomcima; protjerao je Judejce iz Elata; ušli su Edomci u njega i ondje su ostali do danas. -

At that time Rezin king of Aram has brought back Elath to Aram, and casts out the Jews from Elath, and the Arameans have come to Elath, and dwell there to this day.

7 Tada Ahaz uputi poslanike asirskom kralju Tiglat-Pileseru da mu kažu: “Ja sam tvoj sluga i sin tvoj! Dođi i izbavi me iz ruku aramejskog kralja i kralja Izraela, koji su se digli protiv mene.”

And Ahaz sends messengers to Tiglath-Pileser king of Asshur, saying, “I [am] your servant and your son; come up and save me out of the hand of the king of Aram, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are rising up against me.”

8 Ahaz je uzeo srebro i zlato što se nalazilo u Domu Jahvinu i u riznicama kraljevskog dvora i sve je poslao na dar asirskom kralju.

And Ahaz takes the silver and the gold that is found in the house of YHWH, and in the treasures of the house of the king, and sends to the king of Asshur [as] a bribe.

9 I posluša ga asirski kralj: otišao je na Damask i osvojio ga. Stanovništvo je odveo u sužanjstvo u Kir, a Resina je pogubio.

And the king of Asshur listens to him, and the king of Asshur goes up to Damascus, and seizes it, and removes [the people of] it to Kir, and he has put Rezin to death.

10 Kralj Ahaz otišao je u Damask u susret asirskom kralju Tiglat-Pileseru. I vidio je žrtvenik koji bijaše u Damasku. Tada kralj Ahaz posla svećeniku Uriji mjere žrtvenika, njegov nacrt i sve pojedinosti njegove građe.

And King Ahaz goes to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Asshur [at] Damascus, and sees the altar that [is] in Damascus, and King Ahaz sends to Urijah the priest the likeness of the altar, and its pattern, according to all its work,

11 Svećenik Urija sagradi žrtvenik; sve je upute što ih je kralj Ahaz uputio iz Damaska izvršio svećenik Urija prije nego što se kralj Ahaz vratio iz Damaska.

and Urijah the priest builds the altar according to all that King Ahaz has sent from Damascus; so Urijah the priest did until the coming in of King Ahaz from Damascus.

12 Pošto je kralj Ahaz stigao iz Damaska, vidio je žrtvenik, prišao mu i popeo se na nj.

And the king comes in from Damascus, and the king sees the altar, and the king draws near on the altar, and offers on it,

13 Spalio je na žrtveniku svoju paljenicu i svoju prinosnicu, izlio svoju ljevanicu i krvlju pričesnica poškropio žrtvenik.

and burns his burnt-offering and his present as incense, and pours out his drink-offering, and sprinkles the blood of the peace-offerings that he has, on the altar.

14 A mjedeni žrtvenik, koji bijaše pred Jahvom, maknuo je ispred Hrama, gdje je bio između novoga žrtvenika i Doma Jahvina. I postavio ga je pokraj novoga žrtvenika sa sjevera.

As for the altar of bronze that [is] before YHWH—he brings [it] near from the front of the house, from between the altar and the house of YHWH, and puts it on the side of the altar, northward.

15 Kralj Ahaz zapovjedio je svećeniku Uriji: “Na velikom ćeš žrtveniku spaljivati jutarnju paljenicu i večernju prinosnicu, kraljevu paljenicu i njegovu prinosnicu, i paljenice, prinosnice i ljevanice svega naroda. Po njemu ćeš izlijevati svu krv paljenica i klanica. A o žrtveniku od mjedi još ću razmisliti.”

And King Ahaz commands him—Urijah the priest—saying, “On the great altar burn as incense the burnt-offering of the morning, and the present of the evening, and the burnt-offering of the king, and his present, and the burnt-offering of all the people of the land, and their present, and their drink-offerings; and all the blood of the burnt-offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice, you sprinkle on it, and the altar of bronze is for me to inquire [by].”

16 Svećenik Urija učini sve što mu je naredio kralj Ahaz.

And Urijah the priest does according to all that King Ahaz commanded.

17 Kralj Ahaz skinuo je okvire s podnožja; s njih je skinuo i umivaonike. A mjedeno more skinuo je s volova koji su stajali pod njim i stavio ga na kameni pod.

And King Ahaz cuts off the borders of the bases, and turns aside the laver from off them, and he has taken down the sea from off the bronze oxen that [are] under it, and puts it on a pavement of stones.

18 Pred asirskim je kraljem uklonio iz Jahvina Doma Subotnji hodnik koji bijahu sagradili i vanjski kraljevski prilaz.

And the covered place for the Sabbath that they built in the house, and the entrance of the king outside, he turned [from] the house of YHWH, because of the king of Asshur.

19 Ostala povijest Ahazova i sve što je učinio, zar to nije sve zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa judejskih kraljeva?

And the rest of the matters of Ahaz that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

20 Ahaz je počinuo sa svojim ocima i sahranjen je u Davidovu gradu. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Ezekija.

And Ahaz lies with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the City of David, and his son Hezekiah reigns in his stead.
