2 Kronická 24
1 V sedmi letech byl Joas, když počal kralovati, a čtyřidceti let kraloval v Jeruzalémě. Jméno pak matky jeho Sebia z Bersabé.
Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he was ruling for forty years in Jerusalem: his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
2 A činil Joas to, což pravého bylo před očima Hospodinovýma po všecky dny kněze Joiady.
And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the Lord as long as Jehoiada the priest was living.
3 Mezi tím vzal mu Joiada dvě ženě, i plodil syny i dcery.
And Jehoiada took two wives for him, and he became the father of sons and daughters.
4 Potom pak uložil v srdci Joas, aby opravil dům Hospodinův.
Now after this Joash had a desire to put the house of the Lord into good order again;
5 I shromáždil kněží a Levíty, a řekl jim: Vyjděte do měst Judských, a vybírejte ode všeho Izraele peníze, na opravu domu Boha vašeho na každý rok, vy pak pospěšte s tou věcí. Ale nepospíchali Levítové.
And getting together the priests and Levites, he said to them, Go out into the towns of Judah year by year, and get from all Israel money to keep the house of your God in good condition; and see that this is done without loss of time. The Levites, however, were slow in doing so.
6 Protož povolav král Joiady, předního kněze, řekl jemu: Proč nepřídržíš Levítů, aby snesli z Judstva a z Jeruzaléma sbírku Mojžíše služebníka Hospodinova a shromáždění všeho Izraele k stánku svědectví?
Then the king sent for Jehoiada, the chief priest, and said to him, Why have you not given the Levites orders that the tax fixed by Moses, the servant of the Lord, and by the meeting of Israel, for the Tent of witness, is to be got in from Judah and Jerusalem and handed over?
7 Nebo Atalia bezbožná a synové její vlámali se do domu Božího, a všecky věci posvěcené domu Hospodinova obrátili na modly.
For the house of the Lord had been broken up by Athaliah, that evil woman, and her sons; and all its holy things they had given to the Baals.
8 A tak poručil král, aby udělali jednu truhlu, a postavili ji u brány domu Hospodinova vně.
So at the king's order they made a chest and put it outside the doorway of the house of the Lord.
9 I dali provolati v Judstvu a v Jeruzalémě, aby snesli Hospodinu sbírku Mojžíše služebníka Božího, uloženou na Izraele na poušti.
And an order was sent out through all Judah and Jerusalem that payment was to be made to the Lord of the tax which Moses, the servant of God, had put on Israel in the waste land.
10 Tedy veselila se všecka knížata i všecken lid, a přinášejíce, metali do truhly, až se zpořádali.
And all the chiefs and all the people came gladly and put their money into the chest, till they had all given.
11 Bývalo pak to, že když přinášeli truhlu k úředníkům královským skrze ruce Levítů, (nebo když viděli, že mnoho jest peněz, tedy přicházel kanclíř královský a úředník nejvyššího kněze), aby vyprázdnili truhlu, potom ji zase donášeli a postavovali na místo její. A tak činívali den po dni, a sebrali peněz velmi mnoho.
So when the chest was taken to the king's servants by the Levites, and they saw that there was much money in it, the king's scribe and the chief priest's servant took the money out, and put the chest back in its place. They did this day by day, and got together a great amount of money.
12 Kteréž vydával král a Joiada správcům nad dílem domu Hospodinova, a oni najímali kameníky a řemeslníky k opravování domu Hospodinova, ano i kováře a kotláře k utvrzení domu Hospodinova.
Then the king and Jehoiada gave it to those who were responsible for getting the work done on the Lord's house, and with it they got wall-builders and woodworkers and metal-workers to put the house of the Lord in good order again.
13 Takž dělali dělníci, a spraveno jest dílo to skrze ruce jejich, tak že přivedli zase dům Boží k způsobu jeho, a upevnili jej.
So the workmen did their work, making good what was damaged and building up the house of God till it was strong and beautiful again.
14 A když dokonali, přinesli před krále a Joiadu ostatek peněz. I dal nadělati z nich nádob do domu Hospodinova, nádob k službě a obětování, a kadidlnic, i jiných nádob zlatých a stříbrných. A tak obětovávali oběti zápalné v domě Hospodinově ustavičně, po všecky dny Joiadovy.
And when the work was done, they took the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada, and it was used for making the vessels for the house of the Lord, all the vessels needed for the offerings, the spoons and the vessels of gold and silver. And as long as Jehoiada was living, the regular burned offerings were offered in the house of the Lord.
15 Potom sstaral se Joiada, pln jsa dnů, a umřel. Ve stu a ve třidcíti letech byl, když umřel.
But Jehoiada became old and full of days, and he came to his end; he was a hundred and thirty years old at the time of his death.
16 I pochovali ho v městě Davidově s králi, proto že činil, což dobrého jest Izraelovi, Bohu i domu jeho.
And they put him into his last resting-place in the town of David, among the kings, because he had done good in Israel for God and for his house.
17 Po smrti pak Joiadově přišla knížata Judská, a padše, klaněli se králi. Tedy uposlechl jich král.
Now after the death of Jehoiada, the chiefs of Judah came and went down on their faces before the king. Then the king gave ear to them.
18 Pročež opustivše dům Hospodina Boha otců svých, sloužili hájům a modlám. I rozhněval se Bůh na lid Judský a na Jeruzalém pro ten hřích jejich.
And they gave up the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and became worshippers of pillars of wood and of the images; and because of this sin of theirs, wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem.
19 I posílal k nim proroky, aby je zase obrátili k Hospodinu. Kteřížto svědčili jim, oni však neuposlechli.
And the Lord sent them prophets to make them come back to him; and they gave witness against them, but they would not give ear.
20 Nýbrž, když Duch Boží vzbudil Zachariáše syna Joiady kněze, (kterýž vystoupiv před lid, mluvil jim: Takto praví Bůh: Proč přestupujete přikázaní Hospodinova? Nepovedeť se vám šťastně. Proto že jste opustili Hospodina, i on také opustí vás);
Then the spirit of God came on Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the priest, and, getting up before the people, he said to them, God has said, Why do you go against the orders of the Lord, so that everything goes badly for you? because you have given up the Lord, he has given you up.
21 Oni spikše se proti němu, ukamenovali jej z rozkazu králova v síni domu Hospodinova.
But when they had made a secret design against him, he was stoned with stones, by the king's order, in the outer square of the Lord's house.
22 (Aniž se rozpomenul Joas král na milosrdenství, kteréž byl učinil jemu Joiada otec jeho, ale zamordoval syna jeho.) Kterýž když umíral, řekl: Nechť popatří Hospodin, a vyhledá to.
So King Joash did not keep in mind how good Jehoiada his father had been to him, but put his son to death. And in the hour of his death he said, May the Lord see it and take payment!
23 I stalo se po roce, vytáhlo proti němu vojsko Syrské a přitáhlo proti Judovi a Jeruzalému, a vyhladili z lidu všecka knížata jejich, a všecky loupeže jich poslali králi Damašskému.
Now in the spring, the army of the Aramaeans came up against him; they came against Judah and Jerusalem, putting to death all the great men of the people and sending all the goods they took from them to the king of Damascus.
24 Nebo ač v malém počtu lidu bylo přitáhlo vojsko Syrské, však Hospodin dal v ruku jejich vojsko velmi veliké, proto že opustili Hospodina Boha otců svých. Ano i samého Joasa trápili.
For though the army of Aram was only a small one, the Lord gave a very great army into their hands, because they had given up the Lord, the God of their fathers. So they put into effect the punishment of Joash.
25 A jakž ti odešli od něho, (opustivše jej v těžkých nemocech), spikli se proti němu služebníci jeho pro krev synů Joiady kněze, a zamordovali jej na loži jeho. I umřel. Tedy pochovali jej v městě Davidově, ale nepochovali ho v hrobích královských.
And when they had gone away from him, (for he was broken with disease, ) his servants made a secret design against him because of the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they put him to death on his bed; and they put his body into the earth in the town of David, but not in the resting-place of the kings.
26 A tito jsou, kteříž se spikli proti němu: Zabad syn Simaty Ammonitského, a Jozabad syn Simrity Moábského.
Those who made designs against him were Zabad, the son of Shimeath, an Ammonite woman, and Jehozabad, the son of Shimrith, a Moabite woman.
27 O synech pak jeho, a o veliké dani od něho uložené, i o stavení domu Božího, to vše sepsáno jest v knize královské. Kraloval pak Amaziáš syn jeho místo něho.
Now the story of his sons, and all the words said by the prophet against him, and the building up again of the Lord's house, are recorded in the account in the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son became king in his place.
