2 Kraljevima 16

1 Sedamnaeste godine vladanja Pekaha, sina Remalijina, postade judejskim kraljem Ahaz, sin Jotamov.

In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.

2 Ahazu je bilo dvadeset godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je šesnaest godina u Jeruzalemu, ali nije činio što je pravo u očima Jahve, Boga njegova, kao što je činio predak mu David.

Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not do that which was right in the eyes of YHWH his God, like David his father.

3 Živio je poput izraelskih kraljeva i sam je proveo svoga sina kroz oganj po gnusnom običaju naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao pred Izraelovim sinovima.

But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yes, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations, whom YHWH cast out from before the children of Israel.

4 Prinosio je žrtve i kad po uzvišicama i brežuljcima i pod svakim zelenim drvetom.

He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

5 Tada aramejski kralj Resin i Pekah, sin Remalijin, kralj Izraela, pođoše u rat protiv Jeruzalema. Opsjedoše ga, ali ga ne mogoše osvojiti.

Then Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.

6 U to vrijeme aramejski kralj Resin vrati Elat Edomcima; protjerao je Judejce iz Elata; ušli su Edomci u njega i ondje su ostali do danas. -

At that time Rezin king of Aram recovered Eilat to Aram, and drove the Jews from Eilat; and the Arameans came to Eilat, and lived there, to this day.

7 Tada Ahaz uputi poslanike asirskom kralju Tiglat-Pileseru da mu kažu: “Ja sam tvoj sluga i sin tvoj! Dođi i izbavi me iz ruku aramejskog kralja i kralja Izraela, koji su se digli protiv mene.”

So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, saying, "I am your servant and your son. Come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Aram, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against me."

8 Ahaz je uzeo srebro i zlato što se nalazilo u Domu Jahvinu i u riznicama kraljevskog dvora i sve je poslao na dar asirskom kralju.

Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of YHWH, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.

9 I posluša ga asirski kralj: otišao je na Damask i osvojio ga. Stanovništvo je odveo u sužanjstvo u Kir, a Resina je pogubio.

The king of Assyria listened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried its people captive to Kir, and killed Rezin.

10 Kralj Ahaz otišao je u Damask u susret asirskom kralju Tiglat-Pileseru. I vidio je žrtvenik koji bijaše u Damasku. Tada kralj Ahaz posla svećeniku Uriji mjere žrtvenika, njegov nacrt i sve pojedinosti njegove građe.

King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, and saw the altar that was at Damascus; and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and its pattern, according to all its workmanship.

11 Svećenik Urija sagradi žrtvenik; sve je upute što ih je kralj Ahaz uputio iz Damaska izvršio svećenik Urija prije nego što se kralj Ahaz vratio iz Damaska.

Urijah the priest built an altar: according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so Urijah the priest made it for the coming of king Ahaz from Damascus.

12 Pošto je kralj Ahaz stigao iz Damaska, vidio je žrtvenik, prišao mu i popeo se na nj.

When the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king drew near to the altar, and offered on it.

13 Spalio je na žrtveniku svoju paljenicu i svoju prinosnicu, izlio svoju ljevanicu i krvlju pričesnica poškropio žrtvenik.

He burnt his burnt offering and his meal offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, on the altar.

14 A mjedeni žrtvenik, koji bijaše pred Jahvom, maknuo je ispred Hrama, gdje je bio između novoga žrtvenika i Doma Jahvina. I postavio ga je pokraj novoga žrtvenika sa sjevera.

The bronze altar, which was before YHWH, he brought from the forefront of the house, from between his altar and the house of YHWH, and put it on the north side of his altar.

15 Kralj Ahaz zapovjedio je svećeniku Uriji: “Na velikom ćeš žrtveniku spaljivati jutarnju paljenicu i večernju prinosnicu, kraljevu paljenicu i njegovu prinosnicu, i paljenice, prinosnice i ljevanice svega naroda. Po njemu ćeš izlijevati svu krv paljenica i klanica. A o žrtveniku od mjedi još ću razmisliti.”

King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, "On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meal offering, and the king's burnt offering, and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meal offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by."

16 Svećenik Urija učini sve što mu je naredio kralj Ahaz.

Urijah the priest did so, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.

17 Kralj Ahaz skinuo je okvire s podnožja; s njih je skinuo i umivaonike. A mjedeno more skinuo je s volova koji su stajali pod njim i stavio ga na kameni pod.

King Ahaz cut off the panels of the bases, and removed the basin from off them, and took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it, and put it on a pavement of stone.

18 Pred asirskim je kraljem uklonio iz Jahvina Doma Subotnji hodnik koji bijahu sagradili i vanjski kraljevski prilaz.

The covered way for the Sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry outside, turned he to the house of YHWH, because of the king of Assyria.

19 Ostala povijest Ahazova i sve što je učinio, zar to nije sve zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa judejskih kraljeva?

Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

20 Ahaz je počinuo sa svojim ocima i sahranjen je u Davidovu gradu. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Ezekija.

Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
