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 the king [of Judah], and he ruled in Jerusalem for 40 years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba [city].
2 A činil Joas to, což pravého bylo před očima Hospodinovýma po všecky dny kněze Joiady.
Joash did what pleased Yahweh as long as Jehoiada was [the Supreme] Priest.
3 Mezi tím vzal mu Joiada dvě ženě, i plodil syny i dcery.
Jehoiada chose two women to be Joash’s wives. And they bore Joash sons and daughters.
4 Potom pak uložil v srdci Joas, aby opravil dům Hospodinův.
Some years later, Joash decided that the temple should be repaired.
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.
He summoned the priests and other descendants of Levi and said to them, “Go to the towns in Judah and collect from the people the tax money that they are required to pay each year, and use that money to pay for repairing the temple. Do it immediately.” But the descendants of Levi did not do it immediately.
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?
So the king summoned Jehoiada and said to him, “Why have you not required the descendants of Levi to bring to Jerusalem from various places in Judah the annual/yearly tax that Moses said that the people of Judah must pay, for taking care of the Sacred Tent?”
7 Nebo Atalia bezbožná a synové její vlámali se do domu Božího, a všecky věci posvěcené domu Hospodinova obrátili na modly.
[The temple needed to be repaired] because the sons of that wicked woman Athaliah had entered into the temple [and had wrecked some of the things], and had also used some of the sacred items that were in it for [the worship of] Baal.
8 A tak poručil král, aby udělali jednu truhlu, a postavili ji u brány domu Hospodinova vně.
So, obeying what the king commanded, the descendants of Levi made a chest and placed it outside the temple, at one of the entrances.
9 I dali provolati v Judstvu a v Jeruzalémě, aby snesli Hospodinu sbírku Mojžíše služebníka Božího, uloženou na Izraele na poušti.
Then the king sent letters everywhere in Judah, requesting everyone to bring their tax money to the temple, like Moses had required the Israeli people to do [when they were] in the desert.
10 Tedy veselila se všecka knížata i všecken lid, a přinášejíce, metali do truhly, až se zpořádali.
All the officials and the other people [agreed, and they] brought their contributions gladly. They put the money into the chest until it was full.
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.
Whenever the descendants of Levi brought the chest to the king’s officials, and they saw that there was a lot of money in it, the king’s secretary and the assistant to the [Supreme] Priest would take all the money from the chest, and then put the chest back in its place. They did this frequently, and they collected a huge 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.
The king and Jehoiada gave the money to the men who were supervising the work of repairing the temple. Those men hired stoneworkers and carpenters to repair the temple. They also hired men who worked with iron and bronze to repair things in the temple [that were broken].
13 Takž dělali dělníci, a spraveno jest dílo to skrze ruce jejich, tak že přivedli zase dům Boží k způsobu jeho, a upevnili jej.
The men who did the repair work worked hard, and the work of repairing the temple progressed. They rebuilt the temple so that it was like it was originally, and they even made it stronger.
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.
When they had finished the repair work, they brought to the king and to Jehoiada the money that they had not used for the repairs. That money was used to make things to use for offering the sacrifices that were completely burned [on the altar], and to make bowls and other gold and silver things for the temple. As long as Joash lived, the people continually brought to the temple sacrifices that were to be completely burned on the altar.
15 Potom sstaral se Joiada, pln jsa dnů, a umřel. Ve stu a ve třidcíti letech byl, když umřel.
Jehoiada lived to become very old. He died when he was 130 years old.
16 I pochovali ho v městě Davidově s králi, proto že činil, což dobrého jest Izraelovi, Bohu i domu jeho.
He was buried where the kings had been buried, in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. [He was buried there] because of the good things that he had done in Judah for God and for God’s temple.
17 Po smrti pak Joiadově přišla knížata Judská, a padše, klaněli se králi. Tedy uposlechl jich král.
After Jehoiada died, the leaders of Judah went to Joash, bowed in front of him, and persuaded him to do what they wanted.
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.
So they and the other people stopped worshiping at the temple, and they started worshiping the poles dedicated to [the goddess] Asherah and other idols. Because of their doing those sinful things, God was very angry with the people of Jerusalem and [with the people in other places in] Judah.
19 I posílal k nim proroky, aby je zase obrátili k Hospodinu. Kteřížto svědčili jim, oni však neuposlechli.
Although Yahweh sent prophets to persuade them to return to him, and although the prophets told them about the evil things that they had done, the people would not pay attention.
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 God’s Spirit came upon Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the [Supreme] Priest. He stood up front of the people and said, “This is what God says: ‘Why are you disobeying what I, Yahweh, have commanded? You have abandoned me, so I will abandon you.’”
21 Oni spikše se proti němu, ukamenovali jej z rozkazu králova v síni domu Hospodinova.
But the people planned to kill Zechariah. And the king joined them in doing it. The people killed Zechariah by throwing stones at him in the temple courtyard.
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.
King Joash had forgotten about how Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had been kind to him. That’s why he gave orders for the people to kill Jehoiada’s son Zechariah, who said as he was dying, “I hope that Yahweh will see [what you are doing to me] and punish [you for doing 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.
Near the end of that year (OR, early in the following year), the army of Syria marched to attack [the army of] Joash. They invaded Judah and attacked Jerusalem and killed all the leaders of the people. They [seized many valuable things and] sent them to their king in Damascus, [their capital city.]
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.
The army of Syria [that came to Judah] was very small, but Yahweh allowed them to defeat the large army of Judah, because he was punishing Joash and the other people of Judah for having abandoned him, the God whom their ancestors worshiped.
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.
Before the battle ended, Joash was severely wounded. Then his officials decided to kill him for murdering Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the [Supreme] Priest. They killed him while he was in his bed. He was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, but they did not bury him in the place where the other kings had been buried.
26 A tito jsou, kteříž se spikli proti němu: Zabad syn Simaty Ammonitského, a Jozabad syn Simrity Moábského.
Those who conspired to kill him were Zabad the son of Shimeath, who was a woman from the Ammon [people-group], and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith, who was a woman from the Moab [people-group].
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.
An account of the things that were done by the sons of Joash and the many prophecies about Joash and what he did to repair the temple are written in the scroll called ‘the History of the Kings [of Judah and Israel]’. Then after Joash died, Amaziah his son became the king.
