2 Chronicles 24
1 Joash was seven years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled in Jerusalem for 40 years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba [city].
Беше Јоасу седам година кад се зацари, и царова четрдесет година у Јерусалиму. Матери му беше име Сивија из Вирсавеје.
2 Joash did what pleased Yahweh as long as Jehoiada was [the Supreme] Priest.
И чињаше Јоас што је право пред Господом докле год беше жив Јодај свештеник.
3 Jehoiada chose two women to be Joash’s wives. And they bore Joash sons and daughters.
И Јодај га ожени двема женама, те роди синове и кћери.
4 Some years later, Joash decided that the temple should be repaired.
Потом Јоас науми да оправи дом Господњи.
5 He summoned the priests and other descendants of Levi and said to them, “Go to the towns in Judah and collect from the people the tax money that they are required to pay each year, and use that money to pay for repairing the temple. Do it immediately.” But the descendants of Levi did not do it immediately.
И сазва свештенике и Левите, па им рече: Пођите по градовима Јудиним и купите од свега Израиља новац да се оправља дом Бога вашег од године до године, и ви похитајте с тим. Али не хитеше Левити.
6 So the king summoned Jehoiada and said to him, “Why have you not required the descendants of Levi to bring to Jerusalem from various places in Judah the annual/yearly tax that Moses said that the people of Judah must pay, for taking care of the Sacred Tent?”
Зато цар дозва Јодаја поглавара и рече му: Зашто не настојиш да Левити доносе из Јудеје и Јерусалима прилоге које је наредио Мојсије слуга Господњи збору Израиљевом на шатор од састанка?
7 [The temple needed to be repaired] because the sons of that wicked woman Athaliah had entered into the temple [and had wrecked some of the things], and had also used some of the sacred items that were in it for [the worship of] Baal.
Јер безбожна Готолија и синови њени опленише дом Господњи и све ствари посвећене дому Господњем обратише на Вале.
8 So, obeying what the king commanded, the descendants of Levi made a chest and placed it outside the temple, at one of the entrances.
И тако заповеди цар те начинише ковчег, и метнуше га на врата дома Господњег споља.
9 Then the king sent letters everywhere in Judah, requesting everyone to bring their tax money to the temple, like Moses had required the Israeli people to do [when they were] in the desert.
И огласише по Јудеји и по Јерусалиму да доносе Господу прилог који је наредио Мојсије, слуга Божји, Израиљу у пустињи.
10 All the officials and the other people [agreed, and they] brought their contributions gladly. They put the money into the chest until it was full.
И обрадоваше се кнезови и сав народ, и доносећи метаху у ковчег докле се не сврши.
11 Whenever the descendants of Levi brought the chest to the king’s officials, and they saw that there was a lot of money in it, the king’s secretary and the assistant to the [Supreme] Priest would take all the money from the chest, and then put the chest back in its place. They did this frequently, and they collected a huge amount of money.
И кад доношаху Левити ковчег, по заповести царевој, видевши да има много новца, долажаше писар царев и посланик поглавара свештеничког, те изручиваху ковчег, потом га опет одношаху и остављаху на његово место; и тако чињаху сваки дан, и накупише много новца.
12 The king and Jehoiada gave the money to the men who were supervising the work of repairing the temple. Those men hired stoneworkers and carpenters to repair the temple. They also hired men who worked with iron and bronze to repair things in the temple [that were broken].
И даваше га цар Јодај настојницима над послом око дома Господњег, а они наимаху каменаре и дрводеље да се обнови дом Господњи, и коваче који раде од гвожђа и од бронзе, да се оправи дом Господњи.
13 The men who did the repair work worked hard, and the work of repairing the temple progressed. They rebuilt the temple so that it was like it was originally, and they even made it stronger.
И пословаху посленици, и оправљање напредоваше под њиховим рукама, те повратише дому Божјем обличје његово, и утврдише га.
14 When they had finished the repair work, they brought to the king and to Jehoiada the money that they had not used for the repairs. That money was used to make things to use for offering the sacrifices that were completely burned [on the altar], and to make bowls and other gold and silver things for the temple. As long as Joash lived, the people continually brought to the temple sacrifices that were to be completely burned on the altar.
А кад свршише, донесоше пред цара и Јодаја новце што претекоше; и од тог новца начини судове за дом Господњи, судове за службу и за жртве, и кадионице, и друге судове златне и сребрне. И тако приношаху жртве паљенице у дому Господњем једнако свега века Јодајевог.
15 Jehoiada lived to become very old. He died when he was 130 years old.
Потом остаревши Јодај сит живота умре; сто и тридесет година беше му кад умре.
16 He was buried where the kings had been buried, in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. [He was buried there] because of the good things that he had done in Judah for God and for God’s temple.
И погребоше га у граду Давидовом код царева; јер чињаше добро Израиљу и Богу и дому његовом.
17 After Jehoiada died, the leaders of Judah went to Joash, bowed in front of him, and persuaded him to do what they wanted.
А кад умре Јодај, дођоше кнезови Јудини и поклонише се цару; тада их послуша цар,
18 So they and the other people stopped worshiping at the temple, and they started worshiping the poles dedicated to [the goddess] Asherah and other idols. Because of their doing those sinful things, God was very angry with the people of Jerusalem and [with the people in other places in] Judah.
Те оставише дом Господа Бога отаца својих, и стадоше служити луговима и идолима; и подиже се гнев Господњи на Јуду и на Јерусалим за тај грех њихов.
19 Although Yahweh sent prophets to persuade them to return to him, and although the prophets told them about the evil things that they had done, the people would not pay attention.
И слаше им пророке да их врате ка Господу, и они им сведочаху, али их не послушаше.
20 Then God’s Spirit came upon Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the [Supreme] Priest. He stood up front of the people and said, “This is what God says: ‘Why are you disobeying what I, Yahweh, have commanded? You have abandoned me, so I will abandon you.’”
И дође дух Господњи на Захарију, сина Јодаја свештеника, те стаде више народа и рече им: Овако вели Бог: Зашто преступате заповести Господње? Нећете бити срећни; што остависте Господа, зато и Он вас остави.
21 But the people planned to kill Zechariah. And the king joined them in doing it. The people killed Zechariah by throwing stones at him in the temple courtyard.
А они се побунише на њ, и засуше га камењем по заповести царевој у трему дома Господњег.
22 King Joash had forgotten about how Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had been kind to him. That’s why he gave orders for the people to kill Jehoiada’s son Zechariah, who said as he was dying, “I hope that Yahweh will see [what you are doing to me] and punish [you for doing it].”
И не опомену се Јоас милости коју му учини Јодај, отац његов, него уби сина његовог; а он умирући рече: Господ нека види и тражи.
23 Near the end of that year (OR, early in the following year), the army of Syria marched to attack [the army of] Joash. They invaded Judah and attacked Jerusalem and killed all the leaders of the people. They [seized many valuable things and] sent them to their king in Damascus, [their capital city.]
А кад прође година, подиже се на њ војска сирска и уђе у земљу јудејску и у Јерусалим, и побише по народу све кнезове народне, и сав плен од њих послаше цару у Дамаск.
24 The army of Syria [that came to Judah] was very small, but Yahweh allowed them to defeat the large army of Judah, because he was punishing Joash and the other people of Judah for having abandoned him, the God whom their ancestors worshiped.
Ако и мала беше војска сирска која дође, ипак Господ даде у руке њихове врло велику војску, јер беху оставили Господа Бога отаца својих. И тако на Јоасу извршише суд.
25 Before the battle ended, Joash was severely wounded. Then his officials decided to kill him for murdering Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the [Supreme] Priest. They killed him while he was in his bed. He was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, but they did not bury him in the place where the other kings had been buried.
А кад отидоше од њега оставивши га у тешкој болести, побунише се на њ слуге његове за крв синова Јодаја свештеника, и убише га на постељи његовој, те погибе; и погребоше га у граду Давидовом, али га не погребоше у гробовима царским.
26 Those who conspired to kill him were Zabad the son of Shimeath, who was a woman from the Ammon [people-group], and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith, who was a woman from the Moab [people-group].
А ово су што се побунише на њ: Завад, син Симеате Амонке и Јозавад, син Симрите Моавке.
27 An account of the things that were done by the sons of Joash and the many prophecies about Joash and what he did to repair the temple are written in the scroll called ‘the History of the Kings [of Judah and Israel]’. Then after Joash died, Amaziah his son became the king.
А о синовима његовим и о великом порезу што би под њим, и о грађењу дома Божјег, ето записано је у књизи о царевима. А зацари се на његово место Амасија, син његов.
