2 Kraljevima 12
1 Sedme godine Jehuova kraljevanja Joaš je postao kraljem i kraljevao je četrdeset godina u Jeruzalemu. Majka mu se zvala Sibja i bila je iz Beer Šebe.
In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 Joaš je činio što je pravo u očima Jahve svega svog vijeka jer ga je poučavao svećenik Jojada.
And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
3 Ali uzvišica nisu srušili i narod je svejednako prinosio žrtve i kad na uzvišicama.
But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
4 Joaš reče svećenicima: “Sav novac od posvećenih darova što se donosi u Dom Jahvin, novac koji je nekomu nametnut procjenom i novac što ga tko od svoje volje donose u Dom Jahvin
And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money of every man’s assessment, and all the money that cometh into any man’s heart to bring into the house of the LORD,
5 neka svećenici uzimaju svaki od svoga znanca i oni neka tim poprave Dom gdje god se nađe koje oštećenje.”
Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach shall be found.
6 Ali u dvadeset i trećoj godini kraljevanja Joaševa svećenici nisu još popravili Doma.
But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
7 Tada kralj Joaš pozva svećenika Jojadu i druge svećenike i reče im: “Zašto ne popravljate Dom? Odsad ne smijete više sebi uzimati novac od svojih znanaca nego ga morate dati za popravak Doma.”
Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said to them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.
8 Svećenici pristadoše da ne uzimaju novac od naroda, ali ni Doma da ne popravljaju.
And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.
9 Tada svećenik Jojada uze kovčeg, proreza rupu na zaklopcu i stavi ga uza žrtvenik, zdesna od ulaza u Dom Jahvin. Svećenici, čuvari praga, stavljali su u nj sav novac sabran u Domu Jahvinu.
But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD: and the priests that kept the door put in it all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD.
10 Kad bi se vidjelo da u kovčegu ima mnogo novaca, došao bi kraljev tajnik s velikim svećenikom te bi prebrojili i zavezali novac koji se nalazio u Domu Jahvinu.
And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags, and counted the money that was found in the house of the LORD.
11 Prebrojeni novac uručivao se upraviteljima poslova oko popravka Doma Jahvina, a oni su isplaćivali drvodjeljama i graditeljima koji su radili u Domu Jahvinu
And they gave the money, being counted, into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD: and they paid it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD,
12 i zidarima i klesačima kamena, i za nabavu drveta i tesanog kamena određena za popravak Doma Jahvina, ukratko: za troškove oko popravka Doma.
And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
13 Ali u Domu Jahvinu nisu se pravile srebrne čaše, ni noževi, ni plitice, ni trube, niti bilo kakav predmet od zlata ili srebra za novac koji je darovan,
Yet there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver, snuffers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD:
14 nego su ga davali radnicima koje su najmili za popravak Jahvina Doma.
But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired with it the house of the LORD.
15 Nije se tražio obračun od ljudi kojima su predavali novac da ga daju radnicima, jer su oni radili savjesno.
Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully.
16 Novac naknadnice i okajnice nije se unosio u Dom Jahvin, nego je pripao svećenicima.
The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD: it was the priests’.
17 Tada Hazael, aramejski kralj, pođe u rat protiv Gata i osvoji ga. Zatim odluči poći protiv Jeruzalema.
Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
18 Joaš, judejski kralj, uze sve posvećene darove koje su posvetili judejski kraljevi, njegovi oci: Jošafat, Joram i Ahazja, sve što je sam prikazao i sve zlato koje se našlo u riznicima Doma Jahvina i kraljevskog dvora. Sve to posla Hazaelu, aramejskom kralju, i tako se ovaj udalji od Jeruzalema.
And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasuries of the house of the LORD, and in the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
19 Ostala povijest Joaševa i sve što je učinio, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva judejskih?
And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
20 Njegovi časnici ustadoše i skovaše zavjeru; ubiše Joaša u Bet Milu kad je u nj silazio.
And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla.
21 Njegovi časnici Jozakar, sin Šimatov, i Jozabad, sin Šomerov, zadaše mu smrtni udarac. Pokopali su ga kraj njegovih otaca u Davidovu gradu, a njegov sin Amasja zakralji se mjesto njega.
For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
