Chronicles II 24
1 Joas was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Sabia of Bersabee.
Joašu je bilo sedam godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je četrdeset godina u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Sibja iz Beer Šebe.
2 And Joas did that which right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jodae the priest.
Joaš je činio što je pravo u Jahvinim očima dok je bio živ svećenik Jojada.
3 And Jodae took to himself two wives, and they bore sons and daughters.
Jojada ga je oženio dvjema ženama i on je s njima imao sinova i kćeri.
4 And it came to pass afterward that it came into the heart of Joas to repair the house of the Lord.
Poslije toga nakanio je u srcu obnoviti Jahvin Dom.
5 And he gathered the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out into the cities of Juda, and collect money of all Israel to repair the house of the Lord from year to year, and make haste to speak [of it]. But the Levites hasted not.
Skupivši svećenike i levite, reče im: “Zađite po judejskim gradovima i kupite od svih Izraelaca novaca da se obnovi Dom vašega Boga, od godine do godine, a vi pohitite s tim poslom.” Ali se levitima nije htjelo.
6 And king Joas called Jodae the chief, and said to him, Why have you not looked after the Levites, so that they should bring from Juda and Jerusalem that which was prescribed by Moses the man of God, when he assembled Israel at the tabernacle of witness?
Zato kralj pozva poglavara Jojadu i reče mu: “Zašto ne tražiš od levita da donose iz Judeje i iz Jeruzalema porez koji je odredio Jahvin sluga Mojsije i Izraelov zbor za Šator svjedočanstva?
7 For Gotholia was a transgressor, and her sons tore down the house of God; for they offered the holy things of the house of the Lord to Baalim.
Atalija i njeni sinovi bijahu poharali Božji Dom, i sve stvari što su bile posvećene Jahvinu Domu upotrijebili su za baale.”
8 And the king said, Let a box be made, and let it be put at the gate of the house of the Lord without.
Potom kralj zapovjedi da se napravi kovčeg i stavi izvana na vrata Jahvina Doma.
9 And let [men] proclaim in Juda an in Jerusalem, that [the people] should bring to the Lord, as Moses the servant of God spoke concerning Israel in the wilderness.
Oglasiše po Judi i Jeruzalemu da se donosi Jahvi porez što ga bijaše odredio Božji sluga Mojsije Izraelu u pustinji.
10 And all the princes and all the people gave, and brought in, and cast into the box until it was filled.
Obradovaše se svi knezovi i sav narod i počeše donositi i bacati u kovčeg dok se nije napunio.
11 And it came to pass, when they brought in the box to the officers of the king by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that the money was more than sufficient, then came the king's scribe, and the officer of the high priest, and emptied the box, and restored it to its place. Thus they did day by day, and collected much money.
Leviti bi donosili kovčeg kraljevskom nadgledništvu, i kad bi se vidjelo da ima mnogo novaca, dolazio je kraljev tajnik i povjerenik svećeničkog poglavara te bi ispraznili kovčeg. Onda su ga opet odnosili i stavljali na njegovo mjesto. Tako su činili svaki dan i sabrali mnogo novca.
12 And the king and Jodae the priest gave it to the workmen employed in the service of the house of the Lord, and they hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the Lord, also smiths and braziers to repair the house of the Lord.
Onda su ga kralj i Jojada davali poslovođama nad poslom oko Jahvina Doma, a oni su za plaću unajmljivali klesare i drvodjelce da se obnovi Jahvin Dom, pa kovače i mjedare da se popravi Jahvin Dom.
13 And the workmen wrought, and the works prospered in their hands, and they established the house of the Lord on its foundation, and strengthened [it].
Poslovođe su poslovale i popravljanje je napredovalo pod njihovom upravom; vratili su Božji Dom u red i obnovili ga.
14 And when they had finished [it], they brought to the king and to Jodae the remainder of the money, and they made vessels for the house of the Lord, vessels of service for whole burnt offerings, and gold and silver [censers]: and they offered up whole burnt offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Jodae.
A kad su sve svršili, donijeli su pred kralja i Jojadu novce što su ostali; od toga su napravili posuđe za Jahvin Dom, posuđe za posluživanje, za paljenje, plitice i druge zlatne i srebrne predmete. Paljenice su se prinosile u Jahvinu Domu bez prestanka dok je god živio Jojada.
15 And Jodae grew old, being full of days, and he died, being a hundred and thirty years old at his death.
Onda je Jojada, ostarjevši i nasitivši se života, umro u sto i tridesetoj godini.
16 And they buried him with the kings in the city of David, because he had dealt well with Israel, and with God and his house.
Sahranili su ga u Davidovu gradu kod kraljeva, jer je činio dobro u Izraelu i prema Bogu i njegovu Domu.
17 And it came to pass after the death of Jodae, [that] the princes of Juda went in, and did obeisance to the king. Then the king listened to them.
Poslije Jojadine smrti došli su Judini knezovi i poklonili se kralju. Tada ih kralj poče slušati.
18 And they forsook the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and served the Astartes and idols: and there was wrath upon Juda and Jerusalem in that day.
Judejci bijahu ostavili Jahvu, Boga otaca, i stali služiti ašerama i likovima; došla je Božja srdžba na Judejce i na Jeruzalem za tu krivicu.
19 yet he sent prophets to them, to turn them to the Lord; but they listened not: and he testified to them, but they obeyed not.
Slao im je Bog proroke da ih obrate k Jahvi, oni su ih opominjali, ali oni nisu htjeli slušati.
20 And the Spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Jodae the priest, and he stood up above the people, and said, Thus says the Lord, Why do you transgress the commandments of the Lord? so shall you not prosper; for you have forsaken the Lord, and he will forsake you.
Tada Božji duh napuni Jojadina sina, svećenika Zahariju, koji, stavši poviše naroda, reče: “Ovako veli Bog: 'Zašto kršite Jahvine zapovijedi? Zašto nećete da budete sretni? Kako ste vi ostavili Jahvu, i on će vas ostaviti.'”
21 And they conspired against him, and stone him by command of king Joas in the court of the Lord's house.
Ali su se oni pobunili protiv njega i zasuli ga kamenjem po kraljevoj zapovijedi u predvorju Jahvina Doma.
22 So Joas remembered not the kindness which his father Jodae had exercised towards him, but killed his son. And as he died, he said, The Lord look upon [it], and judge.
Ni kralj Joaš ne sjeti se ljubavi koju mu učini otac Jojada, nego mu ubi sina; a on je umirući rekao: “Jahve neka vidi i osveti!”
23 And it came to pass after the end of the year, [that] the host of Syria went up against him, and came against Juda and Jerusalem: and they killed all the chiefs of the people amongst the people, and all their spoils they sent to the king of Damascus.
Kad je prošla godina dana, diže se na nj aramejska vojska i, navalivši na Judu i Jeruzalem, pobi sve knezove u narodu i posla sav plijen kralju u Damask.
24 For the army of Syria came with few men, yet God gave into their hands a very large army, because they had forsaken the God of their fathers; and he brought judgements on Joas.
Iako je aramejska vojska bila malena po ljudstvu, ipak joj je Jahve predao u ruke vrlo brojnu vojsku, jer ostaviše Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca. Tako su se Aramejci na Joašu osvetili.
25 And after they had departed from him, when they had left him in sore diseases, then his servants conspired against him because of the blood of the son of Jodae the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died, and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchre of the kings.
Kad su otišli od njega, ostaviv ga u teškim bolestima, pobuniše se protiv njega njegovi časnici jer bijaše ubio sina svećenika Jojade, pa i oni njega ubiše na postelji te je poginuo; sahranili su ga u Davidovu gradu, ali ga nisu ukopali u kraljevskoj grobnici.
26 And they that conspired against him were Zabed the son of Samaath the Ammanite, and Jozabed the son of Samareth the Moabite.
Evo onih što se urotiše protiv njega: Zabad, sin Amonke Šimeate, i Jozabad, sin Moapke Šimrite.
27 And all his sons, and the five came to him: and the other [matters], behold, they are written in the book of the kings. And Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
A o njegovim sinovima i o velikim proroštvima protiv njega, o obnavljanju Doma Božjega, sve je zapisano u tumačenju Knjige o kraljevima. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Amasja.
