2 Kraljevima 14
1 Druge godine kraljevanja Joaša, sina Joahazova, nad Izraelom, postade judejskim kraljem Amasja, sin Joašev.
In the second year of the reign of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz over Israel, Amaziah son of Joash became king of Judah.
2 Bilo mu je dvadeset i pet godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je dvadeset i devet godina u Jeruzalemu. Mati mu se zvala Joadana i bila je iz Jeruzalema.
He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem.
3 Činio je što je pravo u Jahvinim očima, ali ne sasvim kao praotac njegov David. U svemu je slijedio Joaša, svoga oca.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not as his father David had done. He did everything as his father Joash had done.
4 Ali uzvišica nije razrušio i narod je svejednako prinosio žrtve i kad na uzvišicama.
Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away, and the people continued sacrificing and burning incense on the high places.
5 Kad je učvrstio kraljevstvo, smakao je one časnike koji su mu ubili oca.
As soon as the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, Amaziah executed the servants who had murdered his father the king.
6 Ali nije pogubio sinova onih ubojica, prema onome što je napisano u knjizi Zakona Mojsijeva, gdje Jahve zapovijeda: “Neka se očevi ne pogubljuju za sinove ni sinovi za očeve, nego svatko neka gine za svoj grijeh.”
Yet he did not put the sons of the murderers to death, but acted according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, where the LORD commanded: “Fathers must not be put to death for their children, and children must not be put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.”
7 On je potukao Edomce u Slanoj dolini, deset tisuća njih, i u bitki je zauzeo Selu; dao joj je ime Jokteel, koje nosi do današnjega dana.
Amaziah struck down 10,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. He took Sela in battle and called it Joktheel, which is its name to this very day.
8 Tada Amasja posla glasnike izraelskom kralju Joašu, sinu Jehuova sina Joahaza, i poruči mu: “Dođi da se ogledamo!”
Then Amaziah sent messengers to the king of Israel Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu. “Come, let us meet face to face,” he said.
9 A izraelski kralj Joaš odvrati judejskom kralju Amasji: “Libanonski je trn jedanput poslao glasnike k libanonskom cedru: 'Daj kćer mome sinu za ženu', ali su divlje zvijeri libanonske prošle i trn izgazile.
But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: “A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle.
10 Potukao si Edomce, pa ti se srce uzobijestilo i tražiš slavu! Radije ostani kod kuće. Zašto izazivaš zlo i hoćeš da propadneš ti i svi Judejci s tobom?”
You have indeed defeated Edom, and your heart has become proud. Glory in that and stay at home. Why should you stir up trouble so that you fall—you and Judah with you?”
11 Ali Amasja ne posluša. Izađe izraelski kralj Joaš te se ogledaše u boju on i judejski kralj Amasja u Bet Šemešu u Judeji.
But Amaziah would not listen, and Jehoash king of Israel advanced. He and King Amaziah of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah.
12 Izraelci poraziše Judejce i oni pobjegoše svaki pod svoj šator.
And Judah was routed before Israel, and every man fled to his home.
13 Izraelski kralj Joaš uhvati u Bet Šemešu judejskoga kralja Amasju, sina Joaševa, sina Ahazjina, i odvede ga u Jeruzalem. Tada sruši jeruzalemski zid od Efrajimovih vrata do Ugaonih vrata, u dužini od četiri stotine lakata.
There at Beth-shemesh, Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Ahaziah. Then Jehoash went to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate—a section of four hundred cubits.
14 Uzevši sve zlato, srebro i posuđe što se nalazilo u Domu Jahvinu i u riznici kraljevskog dvora, povrh toga i taoce, vrati se u Samariju.
He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the royal palace, as well as some hostages. Then he returned to Samaria.
15 Ostala povijest Joaševa, sve što je činio i poduzimao i kako je ratovao s Amasjom, judejskim kraljem, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa izraelskih kraljeva?
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoash, along with his accomplishments, his might, and how he waged war against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
16 Joaš je počinuo sa svojim ocima i pokopan je u Samariji uz kraljeve izraelske. Sin njegov Jeroboam zakralji se mjesto njega.
And Jehoash rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. And his son Jeroboam reigned in his place.
17 Amasja, sin Joašev, judejski kralj, živio je još petnaest godina poslije smrti izraelskog kralja Joaša, sina Joahazova.
Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
18 A ostala povijest Amasjina zar nije zapisana u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva judejskih?
As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
19 Protiv njega je skovana urota u Jeruzalemu. Iako je on pobjegao u Lakiš, poslaše za njim u Lakiš ljude koji ga ondje ubiše.
And conspirators plotted against Amaziah in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But men were sent after him to Lachish, and they killed him there.
20 Odande su ga prenijeli na konjima i sahranili u Jeruzalemu kraj njegovih otaca, u Davidovu gradu.
They carried him back on horses and buried him in Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.
21 Tada sav judejski narod uze Azahju, komu bijaše šesnaest godina, i zakralji ga namjesto njegova oca Amasje.
Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
22 On opet sagradi Elat povrativši ga Judeji, pošto je kralj počinuo kod svojih otaca.
Azariah was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.
23 Petnaeste godine kraljevanja judejskog kralja Amasje, sina Joaševa, postade izraelskim kraljem u Samariji Jeroboam, sin Joašev. On je kraljevao četrdeset i jednu godinu.
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Amaziah son of Joash over Judah, Jeroboam son of Jehoash became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria forty-one years.
24 Činio je što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, nije se ostavio nijednoga grijeha Jeroboama, sina Nebatova, koji je zaveo Izraela.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from all the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.
25 On je dobio natrag izraelsko područje od Ulaza u Hamat do Mrtvoga mora, prema riječi koju je Jahve, Bog Izraelov, rekao preko sluge svoga Jone, sina Amitajeva, proroka iz Gat Hahefera.
This Jeroboam restored the boundary of Israel from Lebo-hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word that the LORD, the God of Israel, had spoken through His servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath-hepher.
26 Jer je Jahve vidio ljutu nevolju Izraelovu da više nema ni slobodnih ni robova i nikoga da pomogne Izraelu.
For the LORD saw that the affliction of the Israelites, both slave and free, was very bitter. There was no one to help Israel,
27 Ali Jahve nije odlučio izbrisati ispod neba ime Izraelovo: spasio ga je rukom Jeroboama, sina Joaševa.
and since the LORD had said that He would not blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
28 Ostala povijest Jeroboama, sve što je učinio i sve što je poduzimao, kako je ratovao i kako je vratio Damask Judi i Izraelu, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva izraelskih?
As for the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, along with all his accomplishments and might, and how he waged war and recovered both Damascus and Hamath for Israel from Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
29 Jeroboam je počinuo sa svojim ocima. Pokopali su ga u Samariji uz kraljeve izraelske, a njegov sin Zaharija zakralji se mjesto njega.
And Jeroboam rested with his fathers, the kings of Israel. And his son Zechariah reigned in his place.
