2 Královská 12

1 Léta sedmého Jéhu počal kralovati Joas, a kraloval čtyřidceti let v Jeruzalémě. Jméno matky jeho bylo Sebia z Bersabé.

In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash reigned. And he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebiah from Beersheba.

2 I činil Joas, což dobrého jest před očima Hospodinovýma po všecky dny své, pokudž ho vyučoval Joiada kněz.

And Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord, during all the days that Jehoiada, the priest, taught him.

3 A však výsosti nebyly zkaženy, ještě lid obětoval a kadil na těch výsostech.

Yet still he did not take away the high places. For the people were still immolating, and burning incense, in the high places.

4 Řekl pak Joas kněžím: Všecky peníze svaté, kteréž se vnášejí do domu Hospodinova, totiž peníze těch, kteříž jdou v počet, a peníze ceny za osobu jednoho každého, a všecky peníze, kteréž by kdo dobrovolně uložil dáti do domu Hospodinova,

And Jehoash said to the priests: “All of the money for the holy things, which has been brought into the temple of the Lord from those who pass by, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which they bring into the temple of the Lord willingly, from their own free heart:

5 Vezmou kněží k sobě, jeden každý od známého svého, a oni opraví zbořeniny domu všudy, kdež by bylo zboření.

let the priests, according to their ranks, take and use it in order to repair the surfaces of the house, wherever they see anything in need of repair.”

6 Stalo se potom léta dvadcátého třetího krále Joasa, když ještě neopravili kněží zbořenin chrámových,

And yet, even until the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests did not repair the surfaces of the temple.

7 Že povolal král Joas Joiady kněze i jiných kněží, a řekl jim: Proč neopravujete zbořenin chrámových? Protož nyní nepřijímejte peněz od známých svých, ale na zbořeniny domu dávejte je.

And king Jehoash called the high priest, Jehoiada, and the priests, saying to them: “Why have you not repaired the surfaces of the temple? Therefore, you may no longer accept money according to your ranks. Instead, return it in order that the temple may be repaired.”

8 Jemuž povolivše kněží, nebrali peněz od lidu, ani neopravovali domu.

And so the priests were prohibited from accepting any more money from the people to repair the surfaces of the house.

9 Protož Joiada kněz vzav jednu truhlici, udělal díru v víku jejím, a postavil ji vedlé oltáře po pravé straně, kudy se vchází do domu Hospodinova. I postavili tu kněží ostříhající prahu i všech peněz, kteréž vnášíny byly do domu Hospodinova.

And the high priest, Jehoiada, took a certain chest, and he opened a hole in the top, and he placed it beside the altar, to the right of those who were entering the house of the Lord. And the priests who kept the doors put all the money in it which was being brought into the temple of the Lord.

10 A když rozuměli, že by mnoho peněz bylo v truhlici, tedy přicházel kancléř královský a kněz nejvyšší, a sčetše, schovávali ty peníze, kteréž se nalézaly v domě Hospodinově.

And when they saw that there was a great amount of money in the chest, the scribe of the king and the high priest went up and poured it out. And they counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.

11 Odkudž vydávali peníze hotové v ruce řemeslníků postavených nad dílem domu Hospodinova, a ti obraceli je na tesaře a dělníky, kteříž opravovali dům Hospodinův,

And they gave it out, by number and measure, to the hands of those who were over the masons of the house of the Lord. And they weighed it out to the carpenters and masons, to those who were working in the house of the Lord

12 Totiž na zedníky a kameníky, a k jednání dříví i tesaného kamení, aby opraveny byly zbořeniny domu Hospodinova, i na všecko to, což obráceno mělo býti na dům k opravě jeho.

and restoring the surfaces, and to those who were cutting stones, and buying timber and stones to be cut, so that the repairs to the house of the Lord might be finished: for all that was needed toward the expenses in order to strengthen the house.

13 A však nebylo děláno do domu Hospodinova číší stříbrných, žaltářů, kotlíků, trub a žádné nádoby zlaté, ani nádoby stříbrné z peněz, kteréž přinášíny byly do domu Hospodinova,

Yet truly, from the same money, they did not make for the temple of the Lord water pitchers, or small hooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold or silver, from the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord.

14 Ale těm, kteříž představeni byli nad dílem, dávali je, a opravovali na ně dům Hospodinův.

For it was given to those who were doing the work, so that the temple of the Lord might be repaired.

15 Aniž žádali počtu od mužů těch, jimž v ruce peníze dávali, aby platili dělníkům; nebo věrně dělali.

And they did not ration the money to the men who received it in order to distribute it to the artisans. Instead, they bestowed it with faith.

16 Peněz za vinu, a peněz za hříchy nebylo vnášíno do domu Hospodinova; kněžím se dostávaly.

Yet truly, the money for offenses and the money for sins, they did not bring into the temple of the Lord, since it was for the priests.

17 Tedy vytáhl Hazael král Syrský, a bojoval proti Gát a dobyl ho. Potom obrátil Hazael tvář svou, aby táhl proti Jeruzalému.

Then Hazael, the king of Syria, ascended and fought against Gath, and he captured it. And he directed his face, so that he might ascend against Jerusalem.

18 Protož pobral Joas král Judský všecky věci svaté, kterýchž byli nadali Jozafat a Jehoram a Ochoziáš, otcové jeho, králové Judští, i to, čehož sám posvětil, i všecko zlato, kteréž se nalezlo v pokladích domu Hospodinova a domu královského, a poslal k Hazaelovi králi Syrskému. I odtáhl od Jeruzaléma.

For this reason, Jehoash, the king of Judah, took all the sanctified things, which Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, the kings of Judah, had consecrated and which he himself had offered, and all the silver that could be found in the treasuries of the temple of the Lord and in the palace of the king, and he sent it to Hazael, the king of Syria. And so he withdrew from Jerusalem.

19 O jiných pak činech Joasových, a cožkoli činil, psáno jest v knize o králích Judských.

Now the rest of the words of Jehoash, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?

20 Potom povstavše služebníci jeho, spikli se spolu, a zabili Joasa v Betmillo, kudy se chodí do Silla,

Then his servants rose up and conspired among themselves. And they struck down Jehoash, at the house of Millo, on the descent of Silla.

21 Totiž Jozachar syn Simatův, a Jozabad syn Somerův. Ti služebníci jeho zabili ho, a umřel. I pochovali jej s otci jeho v městě Davidově, a kraloval Amaziáš syn jeho místo něho.

For Jozacar, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And Amaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
