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.
Joas was seven years old when he began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee.
2 A činil Joas to, což pravého bylo před očima Hospodinovýma po všecky dny kněze Joiady.
And he did that which is good before the Lord all the days of Joiada the priest.
3 Mezi tím vzal mu Joiada dvě ženě, i plodil syny i dcery.
And Joiada took for him two wives, by whom he had sons and daughters.
4 Potom pak uložil v srdci Joas, aby opravil dům Hospodinův.
After this Joas had a mind to repair the house of the Lord.
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 he assembled the priests, and the Levites, and said to them: Go out to the cities of Juda, and gather of all Israel money to repair the temple of your God, from year to year: and do this with speed: but the Levites were negligent.
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?
And the king called Joiada the chief, and said to him: Why hast thou not taken care to oblige the Levites to bring in out of Juda and Jerusalem the money that was appointed by Moses the servant of the Lord for all the multitude of Israel to bring into the tabernacle of the testimony?
7 Nebo Atalia bezbožná a synové její vlámali se do domu Božího, a všecky věci posvěcené domu Hospodinova obrátili na modly.
For that wicked woman Athalia, and her children have destroyed the house of God, and adorned the temple of Baal with all the things that had been dedicated in the temple of the Lord.
8 A tak poručil král, aby udělali jednu truhlu, a postavili ji u brány domu Hospodinova vně.
And the king commanded, and they made a chest: and set it by the gate of the house of the Lord on the outside.
9 I dali provolati v Judstvu a v Jeruzalémě, aby snesli Hospodinu sbírku Mojžíše služebníka Božího, uloženou na Izraele na poušti.
And they made a proclamation in Juda and Jerusalem, that every man should bring to the Lord the money which Moses the servant of God appointed for all Israel, in the desert.
10 Tedy veselila se všecka knížata i všecken lid, a přinášejíce, metali do truhly, až se zpořádali.
And all the princes, and all the people rejoiced: and going In they contributed and cast so much into the chest of the Lord, that it was filled.
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.
And when it was time to bring the chest before the king by the hands of the Levites, (for they saw there was much money, ) the king’s scribe, and he whom the high priest had appointed went in: and they poured out the money that was in the chest: and they carried back the chest to its place: and thus they did from day to day, and there was gathered an immense sum 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.
And the king and Joiada gave it to those who were over the works of the house of the Lord: but they hired with it stonecutters, and artificers of every kind of work to repair the house of the Lord: and such as wrought in iron and brass, to uphold what began to be falling.
13 Takž dělali dělníci, a spraveno jest dílo to skrze ruce jejich, tak že přivedli zase dům Boží k způsobu jeho, a upevnili jej.
And the workmen were diligent, and the breach of the walls was closed up by their hands, and they set up the house of the Lord in its former state, and made it stand firm.
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 they had finished all the works, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Joiada: and with it were made vessels for the temple for the ministry, and for holocausts and bowls, and other vessels of gold and silver: and holocausts were offered in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Joiada.
15 Potom sstaral se Joiada, pln jsa dnů, a umřel. Ve stu a ve třidcíti letech byl, když umřel.
But Joiada grew old and was full of days, and died when he was a hundred and thirty years old.
16 I pochovali ho v městě Davidově s králi, proto že činil, což dobrého jest Izraelovi, Bohu i domu jeho.
And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good to Israel, and to his house.
17 Po smrti pak Joiadově přišla knížata Judská, a padše, klaněli se králi. Tedy uposlechl jich král.
And after the death of Joiada, the princes of Juda went in, and worshipped the king: and he was soothed by their services and hearkened 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 forsook the temple of the Lord the God of their fathers, and served groves and idols, and wrath came upon Juda and Jerusalem for this sin.
19 I posílal k nim proroky, aby je zase obrátili k Hospodinu. Kteřížto svědčili jim, oni však neuposlechli.
And he sent prophets to them to bring them back to the Lord, and they would not give ear when they testified against them.
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);
The spirit of God then came upon Zacharias the son of Joiada the priest, and he stood in the sight of the people, and said to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Why transgress you the commandment of the Lord which will not be for your good, and have forsaken the Lord, to make him forsake you?
21 Oni spikše se proti němu, ukamenovali jej z rozkazu králova v síni domu Hospodinova.
And they gathered themselves together against him, and stoned him at the king’s commandment in the court of the house of the Lord.
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.
And king Joas did not remember the kindness that Joiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. And when he died, he said: The Lord see, and require it.
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.
And when a year was come about, the army of Syria came up against him: and they came to Juda and Jerusalem, and killed all the princes of the people, and they sent all the spoils 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.
And whereas there came a very small number of the Syrians, the Lord delivered into their hands an infinite multitude, because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers: and on Joas they executed shameful judgments.
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 departing they left him in diseases: and his servants rose up him, for revenge of the blood of the son of Joiada the priest, and they slew him in his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
26 A tito jsou, kteříž se spikli proti němu: Zabad syn Simaty Ammonitského, a Jozabad syn Simrity Moábského.
Now the men that conspired against him were Zabad the son of Semmaath an Ammonitess, and Jozabad the son of Semarith a Moabitess.
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.
And concerning his sons, and the sum of money which was gathered under him, and the repairing the house of God; they are written more diligently in the book of kings: and Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
