Kings IV 16

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

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

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].

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.

3 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, 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.

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.

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

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

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].

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

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 dwelt there until this day.

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. -

7 And Achaz sent messengers to Thalgath-phellasar king of the Assyrians, saying, I am thy servant and thy 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.

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.”

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 thou shalt 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 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.”

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

Svećenik Urija učini sve što mu je naredio kralj Ahaz.

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 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.

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.

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

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?

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

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

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