2 Kraljevima 14
1 Druge godine kraljevanja Joaša, sina Joahazova, nad Izraelom, postade judejskim kraljem Amasja, sin Joašev.
In the second year of Joash, son of Joahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah began to reign.
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 began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.
3 Činio je što je pravo u Jahvinim očima, ali ne sasvim kao praotac njegov David. U svemu je slijedio Joaša, svoga oca.
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, yet not like David his father. He did according to all that Joash his father had done.
4 Ali uzvišica nije razrušio i narod je svejednako prinosio žrtve i kad na uzvišicama.
However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
5 Kad je učvrstio kraljevstvo, smakao je one časnike koji su mu ubili oca.
As soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, he killed his servants who had slain the king his father,
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.”
but the children of the murderers he didn’t put to death, according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall 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.
He killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, to this 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 Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let’s look one another in the face.”
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.
Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife.’ Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down 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 struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you fall, even 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. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
12 Izraelci poraziše Judejce i oni pobjegoše svaki pod svoj šator.
Judah was defeated by Israel; and each man fled to his tent.
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.
Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh and came to Jerusalem, then broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, 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 vessels that were found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and 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?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, aren’t they 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.
Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.
17 Amasja, sin Joašev, judejski kralj, živio je još petnaest godina poslije smrti izraelskog kralja Joaša, sina Joahazova.
Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years.
18 A ostala povijest Amasjina zar nije zapisana u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva judejskih?
Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, aren’t they 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.
They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
20 Odande su ga prenijeli na konjima i sahranili u Jeruzalemu kraj njegovih otaca, u Davidovu gradu.
They brought him on horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in David’s city.
21 Tada sav judejski narod uze Azahju, komu bijaše šesnaest godina, i zakralji ga namjesto njegova oca Amasje.
All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
22 On opet sagradi Elat povrativši ga Judeji, pošto je kralj počinuo kod svojih otaca.
He built Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept 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 Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria for forty-one years.
24 Činio je što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, nije se ostavio nijednoga grijeha Jeroboama, sina Nebatova, koji je zaveo Izraela.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
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.
He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to the LORD, the God of Israel’s word, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was 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 the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter for all, slave and free; and there was no helper for Israel.
27 Ali Jahve nije odlučio izbrisati ispod neba ime Izraelovo: spasio ga je rukom Jeroboama, sina Joaševa.
The LORD didn’t say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
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?
Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he fought, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, aren’t they 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.
Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.
