2 Kronická 28
1 Ve dvadcíti letech byl Achas, když počal kralovati, a šestnácte let kraloval v Jeruzalémě, a nečinil toho, což pravého bylo před očima Hospodinovýma, jako David otec jeho.
Ahaz was 20 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His ancestor King David was a good king, but Ahaz was not like David. He constantly disobeyed Yahweh
2 Ale chodil po cestách králů Izraelských, nýbrž nadělal také slitin modlářských.
and was as sinful as the kings of Israel had been. He made idols of the god Baal.
3 Přesto i sám kadíval v údolí Benhinnom, a pálil syny své ohněm podlé ohavností pohanů, kteréž vyhnal Hospodin před syny Izraelskými.
He burned incense in Hinnom Valley. He even [killed some of] his own sons [and] offered [them] as sacrifices to be completely burned. That imitated the disgusting customs of the people-groups who previously lived there, people whom Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis advanced through the land.
4 A obětoval i kadíval na výsostech a na pahrbcích, i pod každým stromem zeleným.
Ahaz offered sacrifices [to idols] at shrines on hilltops and under every big green tree.
5 Protož dal jej Hospodin Bůh jeho v ruku krále Syrského. Kteříž porazivše jej, zajali odtud množství veliké, a přivedli je do Damašku. Nad to i v ruku krále Izraelského dán jest, kterýž porazil jej porážkou velikou.
Therefore Yahweh his God allowed his army to be defeated by the army of the king of Syria. They captured many soldiers of Judah and took them as prisoners to Damascus. The army of the king of Israel also defeated the army of Judah and killed very many of their soldiers.
6 Nebo pomordoval Pekach syn Romeliášův v Judstvu sto a dvadcet tisíců dne jednoho, vše mužů udatných, proto že opustili Hospodina Boha otců svých.
In one day the army of Remaliah’s son, King Pekah [of Israel], killed 120,000 soldiers in Judah. That happened because [the people of] Judah had abandoned Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
7 Zabil také Zichri, rytíř Efraimský Maaseiáše syna králova, a Azrikama, správce domu jeho, a Elkána, druhého po králi.
Zicri, a warrior from the tribe of Ephraim, killed king Ahaz’s son Maaseiah, Azrikam the officer in charge of the palace, and Elkanah, the king’s assistant.
8 Nadto zajali též synové Izraelští z bratří svých dvakrát sto tisíc žen, synů a dcer, ano i kořistí mnoho nabrali od nich, a vezli loupež do Samaří.
The soldiers of Israel captured 200,000 of the people of Judah, including many wives and sons and daughters [of the soldiers of Judah]. They also seized and took back to Samaria many valuable things.
9 Byl pak tu prorok Hospodinův, jménem Oded, kterýž vyšed proti vojsku přicházejícímu do Samaří, řekl jim: Hle, rozhněvav se Hospodin Bůh otců vašich na Judské, vydal je v ruku vaši, a vy jste je pomordovali v prchlivosti, kteráž až k nebi dosáhla.
But a prophet of Yahweh whose name was Obed was there [in Samaria]. He went out of the city to meet the army when it returned to Samaria. He said to them, “Because Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [belonged to], was angry with [the people of] Judah, he allowed you to defeat them. But God has seen the cruel way that you slaughtered them.
10 A ještě Judské a Jeruzalémské myslíte sobě podrobiti za pacholky a děvky. Zdaliž i vy, i vy, jste bez hříchů proti Hospodinu Bohu vašemu?
And now you want to [sin by] causing men and women from Judah to become your slaves, but you have certainly also sinned against Yahweh our God!
11 A protož nyní poslechněte mne, a doveďte zase zajaté, kteréž jste zajali z bratří svých; nebo jinak hněv prchlivosti Hospodinovy bude proti vám.
So listen to me! Send back [to Judah] your fellow-countrymen whom you have captured, because Yahweh is extremely angry with you [for what you did to them].”
12 Tedy povstali někteří z předních synů Efraimových: Azariáš syn Jochananův, Berechiáš syn Mesillemotův, Ezechiáš syn Sallumův, a Amaza syn Chadlaiův proti těm, kteříž se vracovali z té vojny.
Then some of the leaders of [the tribe of] Ephraim—Azariah the son of Jehohanan, Berekiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai—rebuked those who were returning from the battle.
13 A řekli jim: Nepřivedete sem těch zajatých; nebo vinu proti Hospodinu myslíte na nás uvesti, přivětšujíce hříchů našich a provinění našich. Veliký tě zajisté hřích náš a prchlivost hněvu proti Izraelovi.
They said to them, “You must not bring those prisoners here! If you do that, Yahweh will consider that we are guilty of sinning. We are already guilty of committing many sins; do you want to cause us to be even more guilty by committing another sin? God is already very angry with [us people of] Israel!”
14 Takž nechali vojáci těch zajatých i kořistí svých před knížaty a vším shromážděním.
So, while their leaders and others were watching, the soldiers released the prisoners, and also gave back to them the valuable things that they had captured.
15 A přičinivše se muži někteří ze jména znamenaní, vzali ty zajaté, a všecky, kteřížkoli z nich nebyli odění, přiodíli je z těch kořistí. A když je zobláčeli a zobouvali, nakrmili i napojili, ano i pomazali, a zprovodili na oslích, každého nemocného z nich, a dovedli ho do Jericha města palmového k bratřím jejich, potom navrátili se do Samaří.
The leaders who were selected took some of the clothes that the soldiers had taken from the prisoners and gave those clothes back to the people who were naked. They also gave to the prisoners sandals and other clothes and things to eat and drink, and they gave them olive oil to rub on their wounds. They gave donkeys to those who were very weak, in order that they could ride on them. Then they led them all to Jericho, the city that had many palm trees. Then those leaders [of Israel] returned to Samaria.
16 Toho času poslal král Achas k králům Assyrským, aby mu pomoc dali.
About that time, King Ahaz sent [a message] to the king of Assyria requesting help.
17 Nebo ještě přitáhli i Idumejští, a zbili některé z Judských, a jiné zajali.
[He did that because the army from] the Edom people-group had come again and attacked Judah and taken away many of the people of Judah as prisoners.
18 Nadto i Filistinští učinili vpád do měst, na rovinách k straně polední Judstva, a vzali Betsemes a Aialon, a Gederot a Socho i vsi jeho, a Tamna i vsi jeho, a Gimzo i vsi jeho, a bydlili v nich.
At the same time, men from Philistia had raided/attacked towns in the foothills and in the southern desert of Judah. They had captured Beth-Shemesh, Aijalon, and Gederoth [cities], as well as Soco, Timnah and Gimzo [towns] and the nearby villages.
19 Tak zajisté ponižoval Hospodin Judy pro Achasa krále Izraelského, proto že odvrátil Judu, aby naprosto převráceně činil proti Hospodinu.
Yahweh [allowed those things to happen in order to] humble king Ahaz, because he had encouraged the people of Judah to do wicked things and had disobeyed Yahweh very much.
20 A tak přitáhl k němu Tiglatfalazar král Assyrský, a více ho ssužoval, nežli mu pomáhal.
Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, sent [his army saying that they would] help Ahaz, but instead of helping him, they caused him to experience trouble.
21 A ačkoli Achas vzal z domu Hospodinova a domu královského, i od knížat, a dal králi Assyrskému, však nedal jemu pomoci.
Ahaz’s [soldiers] took some of the [valuable] things from the temple and from the king’s palace and from other leaders of Judah and sent them to the king of Assyria [to pay him to help them], but the king of Assyria refused to help Ahaz.
22 V který pak koli čas byl ssužován, tím větší převrácenost páchal proti Hospodinu. Takový byl král Achas.
While King Ahaz was experiencing those troubles, he disobeyed Yahweh even more.
23 Nebo obětoval bohům Damašským, kteříž ho porazili, a řekl: Poněvadž bohové králů Syrských pomáhají jim, těm obětovati budu, aby mně pomáhali. Ale oni byli ku pádu jemu, ano i všemu Izraeli.
He offered sacrifices to the gods that were worshiped in Damascus, whose [army] had defeated his [army]. He thought, “The gods that are worshiped by the kings of Syria have helped them, so I will offer sacrifices to those gods in order that they will help me.” But worshiping those gods caused Ahaz and all of Israel to be ruined.
24 Pročež shromáždiv Achas nádoby domu Božího, osekal je, a zamkl dvéře domu Hospodinova, a nadělal sobě oltářů při každém úhlu v Jeruzalémě.
Ahaz gathered all the furnishings [that were used] in the temple and broke them into pieces. He locked the doors of the temple and set up altars [for worshiping idols] at every street corner in Jerusalem.
25 Ano i v každém městě Judském zdělal výsosti, aby kadil bohům cizím, a tak popouzel k hněvu Hospodina Boha otců svých.
In every town in Judah, his workers built shrines to burn sacrifices to other gods, and that caused Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], to be very angry.
26 O jiných pak věcech jeho, a o všech cestách jeho, prvních i posledních zapsáno jest v knize králů Judských a Izraelských.
A record of the other things that Ahaz did while he was the king, from when he started to rule until he died, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel’.
27 I usnul Achas s otci svými, a pochovali jej v městě Jeruzalémě; nebo nevložili ho do hrobů králů Izraelských. I kraloval Ezechiáš syn jeho místo něho.
Ahaz died and was buried in Jerusalem, but he was not buried in the tombs where the other kings [had been buried]. Then his son Hezekiah became the king.
