2 Ljetopisa 28
1 Ahazu je bilo dvadeset godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je šesnaest godina u Jeruzalemu, ali nije činio što je pravo u Jahvinim očima kao što je činio njegov otac 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 YHWH, as his father David,
2 Živio je poput izraelskih kraljeva, pa je i likove salio baalima.
and walks in the ways of the kings of Israel, and has also made molten images for Ba‘alim,
3 Sam je prinosio kad u dolini Hinomova sina i proveo vlastite sinove kroz oganj, po gnusnom običaju krivobožačkih naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao pred Izraelovim sinovima.
and has made incense himself in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and burns his sons with fire according to the abominations of the nations that YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,
4 Prinosio je žrtve i kadio po uzvišicama i brežuljcima i pod svakim zelenim drvetom.
and sacrifices and makes incense in high places, and on the heights, and under every green tree.
5 Zato ga Jahve, njegov Bog, predade u ruke aramejskom kralju te ga on potuče, zarobi mu veliko mnoštvo ljudi i odvede ih u Damask. Još je bio predan u ruke izraelskom kralju koji ga je hametice porazio.
And his God YHWH gives him into the hand of the king of Aram, and they strike him, and take captive a great captivity from him, and bring [them] to Damascus, and he has also been given into the hand of the king of Israel, and he strikes him [with] a great striking.
6 Remalijin je sin Pekah pobio među Judejcima sto dvadeset tisuća hrabrih junaka u jedan dan, jer su bili ostavili Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca.
And Pekah son of Remaliah slays one hundred and twenty thousand in Judah in one day (the whole [are] sons of valor), because of their forsaking YHWH, God of their fathers.
7 A junak od Efrajimova plemena Zikri pogubio je kraljeva sina Maaseju i dvorskoga upravitelja Azrikama i Elkanu, drugoga do kralja.
And Zichri, a mighty one of Ephraim, slays Maaseiah son of the king, and Azrikam leader of the house, and Elkanah second to the king.
8 Izraelovi su sinovi zarobili od svoje braće dvjesta tisuća žena, sinova i kćeri, a zadobili su i silan plijen od njih i odnijeli ga u Samariju.
And the sons of Israel take captive of their brothers: two hundred thousand wives, sons, and daughters; and they have also seized much spoil from them, and they bring in the spoil to Samaria.
9 Ondje bijaše Jahvin prorok po imenu Oded; izašao on pred vojsku što je išla u Samariju i rekao: “Gle, Jahve, Bog vaših otaca, razjario se na Judejce i zato ih je predao u vaše ruke te ste ih gnjevno pobili da je do neba doprlo.
And there has been a prophet of YHWH there (Oded [is] his name), and he goes out before the host that has come to Samaria, and says to them, “Behold, in the fury of YHWH, God of your fathers, against Judah, He has given them into your hand, and you slay among them in rage—it has come to the heavens;
10 A sada još mislite podjarmiti Judejce i Jeruzalemce da vam budu robovi i robinje; a ipak, niste li i vi puni krivice prema Jahvi, svome Bogu?
and now you are saying to subdue sons of Judah and Jerusalem for menservants and for maidservants for yourselves; but are there not causes of guilt with you before your God YHWH?
11 Zato me poslušajte sada i vratite to roblje što ga zarobiste od svoje braće, jer će se izliti na vas Jahvin gnjev.”
And now, hear me, and send back the captives whom you have taken captive of your brothers, for the heat of the anger of YHWH [is] on you.”
12 Tada ustadoše neki između glavara Efrajimovih sinova, i to Johananov sin Azarja, Mešilemotov sin Berekja i Šalumov sin Ezekija, Hadlajev sin Amasa, na one što su se vraćali s vojske.
And certain of the heads of the sons of Ephraim (Azariah son of Johanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai), rise up against those coming in from the host,
13 Pa im rekoše: “Nemojte dovoditi ovamo toga roblja, jer, uz krivicu koja je na nama pred Jahvom, vi mislite još dometnuti na naše grijehe i na našu krivicu, kao da nije dosta velika naša krivica i jarosni gnjev na Izraelu.”
and say to them, “You do not bring in the captives here, for guilt against YHWH [is already] on us, you are saying to add to our sin and to our guilt. For abundant [is] the guilt we have, and the fierceness of anger on Israel.”
14 Tada ostaviše ratnici roblje i plijen pred knezovima i svim zborom.
And the armed men leave the captives and the prey before the heads and all the assembly;
15 Onda su poimence prozvani ljudi ustali, osokolili robove, obukli sve gole u odjeću iz plijena; a kad su ih obukli, obuli, nahranili, napojili i namazali, poveli su na magarcima sve iznemogle i odveli ih u palmov grad Jerihon do njihove braće, a potom se vratili u Samariju.
and the men who have been expressed by name rise and take hold on the captives, and they have clothed all their naked ones from the spoil, indeed, they clothe them, and shoe them, and cause them to eat and drink, and anoint them, and lead them on donkeys, even every feeble one, and bring them to Jericho, the city of palms, near their brothers, and return to Samaria.
16 U to je doba kralj Ahaz zamolio asirske kraljeve da mu pomognu.
At that time King Ahaz has sent to the king of Asshur to give help to him;
17 Edomci bijahu opet navalili i porazili Judejce te ih odveli u roblje.
and again the Edomites have come, and strike in Judah, and take captive a captivity.
18 Filistejci se raširili po gradovima Judejske Šefele i Negeba i, zauzevši Bet-Šemeš, Ajalon, Gederot i Soko sa selima, Timnu sa selima i Gimzo sa selima, nastanili se ondje.
And the Philistines have rushed against the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and capture Beth-Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho and its villages, and Timnah and its villages, and Gimzo and its villages, and dwell there,
19 Jahve je počeo ponižavati Judejce zbog judejskoga kralja Ahaza, jer je Ahaz razuzdao Judejce i teško se iznevjerio Jahvi.
for YHWH has humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he made free with Judah, even to commit a trespass against YHWH.
20 Došao je na nj asirski kralj Tiglat-Pileser i pritijesnio ga umjesto da ga utvrdi.
And Tilgath-Pilneser king of Asshur comes to him, and does distress him, and has not strengthened him,
21 Ahaz bijaše opljačkao Jahvin Dom, kraljevski dvor i knezove, i sve to dao asirskom kralju, ali mu ništa nije pomoglo.
though Ahaz has taken a portion [out] of the house of YHWH, and [out] of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gives to the king of Asshur, yet it is no help to him.
22 Dok je bio u nevolji, postao je još nevjerniji Jahvi; takav je bio kralj Ahaz.
And in the time of his distress—he adds to trespass against YHWH (this King Ahaz),
23 Počeo je žrtvovati damaščanskim bogovima koji su ga porazili, misleći: “Kad bogovi aramejskih kraljeva njima pomažu, žrtvovat ću im da bi i meni pomagali.” Ali su oni bili na propast njemu i svem Izraelu.
and he sacrifices to the gods of Damascus [which were] those striking him, and says, “Because the gods of the kings of Aram are helping them, I sacrifice to them, and they help me,” and they have been to him to cause him to stumble, and to all Israel.
24 Ahaz je pokupio posuđe iz Božjega Doma, slupao ga, zatvorio vrata Jahvina Doma i podigao žrtvenike po svim uglovima u Jeruzalemu.
And Ahaz gathers the vessels of the house of God, and cuts in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shuts the doors of the house of YHWH, and makes altars for himself in every corner in Jerusalem.
25 I u svakom je pojedinom judejskom gradu podigao uzvišice da kadi tuđim bogovima, dražeći Jahvu, Boga otaca.
And in each and every city of Judah he has made high places to make incense to other gods, and provokes YHWH, God of his fathers.
26 Ostala su njegova djela i svi njegovi putovi, od prvih do posljednjih, zapisani u Knjizi o judejskim i izraelskim kraljevima.
And the rest of his matters, and all his ways, the first and the last, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.
27 Onda je Ahaz počinuo kod otaca. Sahranili su ga u Gradu, u Jeruzalemu, ali ga nisu unijeli u grobnicu judejskih kraljeva. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Ezekija.
And Ahaz lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the city, in Jerusalem, but have not brought him to the graves of the kings of Israel, and his son Hezekiah reigns in his stead.
