2 Chronicles 24
1 Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba.
Bijaše Joasu sedam godina kad se zacari, i carova èetrdeset godina u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Sivija iz Virsaveje.
2 And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
I èinjaše Joas što je pravo pred Gospodom dokle god bijaše živ Jodaj sveštenik.
3 Jehoiada took for himself two wives, and he had sons and daughters.
I Jodaj ga oženi dvjema ženama, te rodi sinove i kæeri.
4 Some time later, Joash set his heart on repairing the house of the LORD.
Potom Joas naumi da opravi dom Gospodnji.
5 So he gathered the priests and Levites and said, “Go out to the cities of Judah and collect the money due annually from all Israel, to repair the house of your God. Do it quickly.” The Levites, however, did not make haste.
I sazva sveštenike i Levite, pa im reèe: poðite po gradovima Judinijem i kupite od svega Izrailja novaca da se opravlja dom Boga vašega od godine do godine, i vi pohitajte s tijem. Ali ne hitješe Leviti.
6 So the king called Jehoiada the high priest and said, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring from Judah and Jerusalem the tax imposed by Moses the servant of the LORD and by the assembly of Israel for the Tent of the Testimony?”
Zato car dozva Jodaja poglavara i reèe mu: zašto ne nastojiš da Leviti donose iz Judeje i Jerusalima priloge koje je naredio Mojsije sluga Gospodnji zboru Izrailjevu na šator od sastanka?
7 For the sons of that wicked woman Athaliah had broken into the house of God and had even used the sacred objects of the house of the LORD for the Baals.
Jer bezbožna Gotolija i sinovi njezini oplijeniše dom Gospodnji i sve stvari posveæene domu Gospodnjemu obratiše na Vale.
8 At the king’s command a chest was made and placed outside, at the gate of the house of the LORD.
I tako zapovjedi car te naèiniše kovèeg, i metnuše ga na vrata doma Gospodnjega spolja.
9 And a proclamation was issued in Judah and Jerusalem that they were to bring to the LORD the tax imposed by Moses the servant of God on Israel in the wilderness.
I oglasiše po Judeji i po Jerusalimu da donose Gospodu prilog koji je naredio Mojsije sluga Božji Izrailju u pustinji.
10 All the officers and all the people rejoiced and brought their contributions, and they dropped them in the chest until it was full.
I obradovaše se knezovi i sav narod, i donoseæi metahu u kovèeg dokle se ne svrši.
11 Whenever the chest was brought by the Levites to the king’s overseers and they saw that there was a large amount of money, the royal scribe and the officer of the high priest would come and empty the chest and carry it back to its place. They did this daily and gathered the money in abundance.
I kad donošahu Leviti kovèeg po zapovijesti carevoj, vidjevši da ima mnogo novaca, dolažaše pisar carev i poslanik poglavara sveštenièkoga, te izruèivahu kovèeg, potom ga opet odnošahu i ostavljahu na njegovo mjesto; i tako èinjahu svaki dan, i nakupiše mnogo novaca.
12 Then the king and Jehoiada would give the money to those who supervised the labor on the house of the LORD to hire stonecutters and carpenters to restore the house of the LORD, as well as workers in iron and bronze to repair the house of the LORD.
I davaše ga car Jodaj nastojnicima nad poslom oko doma Gospodnjega, a oni naimahu kamenare i drvodjelje da se obnovi dom Gospodnji, i kovaèe koji rade od gvožða i od mjedi, da se opravi dom Gospodnji.
13 So the workmen labored, and in their hands the repair work progressed. They restored the house of God according to its specifications, and they reinforced it.
I poslovahu poslenici, i opravljanje napredovaše pod njihovijem rukama, te povratiše domu Božijemu oblièje njegovo, i utvrdiše ga.
14 When they were finished, they brought the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada to make with it the articles for the house of the LORD—utensils for the service and for the burnt offerings, dishes, and other objects of gold and silver. Throughout the days of Jehoiada, burnt offerings were presented regularly in the house of the LORD.
A kad svršiše, donesoše pred cara i Jodaja novce što pretekoše; i od toga naèini sudove za dom Gospodnji, sudove za službu i za žrtve, i kadionice, i druge sudove zlatne i srebrne. I tako prinošahu žrtve paljenice u domu Gospodnjem jednako svega vijeka Jodajeva.
15 When Jehoiada was old and full of years, he died at the age of 130.
Potom ostarjevši Jodaj sit života umrije; sto i trideset godina bješe mu kad umrije.
16 And Jehoiada was buried with the kings in the City of David, because he had done what was good in Israel for God and His temple.
I pogreboše ga u gradu Davidovu kod careva; jer èinjaše dobro Izrailju i Bogu i domu njegovu.
17 After the death of Jehoiada, however, the officials of Judah came and paid homage to the king, and he listened to them.
A kad umrije Jodaj, doðoše knezovi Judini i pokloniše se caru; tada ih posluša car,
18 They abandoned the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and idols. So wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this guilt of theirs.
Te ostaviše dom Gospoda Boga otaca svojih, i stadoše služiti lugovima i idolima; i podiže se gnjev Gospodnji na Judu i na Jerusalim za taj grijeh njihov.
19 Nevertheless, the LORD sent prophets to bring the people back to Him and to testify against them; but they would not listen.
I slaše im proroke da ih vrate ka Gospodu, i oni im svedoèahu, ali ih ne poslušaše.
20 Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood up before the people and said to them, “This is what God says: ‘Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, He has forsaken you.’”
I doðe duh Gospodnji na Zahariju sina Jodaja sveštenika, te stade više naroda i reèe im: ovako veli Bog: zašto prestupate zapovijesti Gospodnje? neæete biti sreæni; što ostaviste Gospoda, zato i on vas ostavi.
21 But they conspired against Zechariah, and by order of the king, they stoned him in the courtyard of the house of the LORD.
A oni se pobuniše na nj, i zasuše ga kamenjem po zapovijesti carevoj u trijemu doma Gospodnjega.
22 Thus King Joash failed to remember the kindness that Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had extended to him. Instead, Joash killed Jehoiada’s son. As he lay dying, Zechariah said, “May the LORD see this and call you to account.”
I ne opomenu se Joas milosti koju mu uèini Jodaj otac njegov, nego ubi sina njegova; a on umiruæi reèe: Gospod neka vidi i traži.
23 In the spring, the army of Aram went to war against Joash. They entered Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the leaders of the people, and they sent all the plunder to their king in Damascus.
A kad proðe godina, podiže se na nj vojska Sirska i uðe u zemlju Judejsku i u Jerusalim, i pobiše po narodu sve knezove narodne, i sav plijen od njih poslaše caru u Damasak.
24 Although the Aramean army had come with only a few men, the LORD delivered into their hand a very great army. Because Judah had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, judgment was executed on Joash.
Ako i mala bješe vojska Sirska koja doðe, ipak Gospod dade u ruke njihove vrlo veliku vojsku, jer bjehu ostavili Gospoda Boga otaca svojih. I tako na Joasu izvršiše sud.
25 And when the Arameans had withdrawn, they left Joash severely wounded. His own servants conspired against him for shedding the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they killed him on his bed. So he died and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
A kad otidoše od njega ostavivši ga u teškoj bolesti, pobuniše se na nj sluge njegove za krv sinova Jodaja sveštenika, i ubiše ga na postelji njegovoj, te pogibe; i pogreboše ga u gradu Davidovu, ali ga ne pogreboše u grobovima carskim.
26 Those who conspired against Joash were Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
A ovo su što se pobuniše na nj: Zavad sin Simeate Amonke i Jozavad sin Simrite Moavke.
27 The accounts of the sons of Joash, as well as the many pronouncements about him and about the restoration of the house of God, are indeed written in the Treatise of the Book of the Kings. And his son Amaziah reigned in his place.
A o sinovima njegovijem i o velikoj porezi što bi pod njim, i o graðenju doma Božijega, eto zapisano je u knjizi o carevima. A zacari se na njegovo mjesto Amasija sin njegov.
