Kings IV 12
1 Joas began to reign in the seventh year of Ju, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Sabia of Bersabee.
Sedme godine Jehuova kraljevanja Joaš je postao kraljem i kraljevao je četrdeset godina u Jeruzalemu. Majka mu se zvala Sibja i bila je iz Beer Šebe.
2 And Joas did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days that Jodae the priest instructed him.
Joaš je činio što je pravo u očima Jahve svega svog vijeka jer ga je poučavao svećenik Jojada.
3 Only there were not [any] of the high places removed, and the people still sacrificed there, and burnt incense on the high places.
Ali uzvišica nisu srušili i narod je svejednako prinosio žrtve i kad na uzvišicama.
4 And Joas said to the priests, [As for] all the money of the holy things that is brought into the house of the Lord, the money of valuation, [as] each man brings the money of valuation, all the money which any man may feel disposed to bring into the house of the Lord,
Joaš reče svećenicima: “Sav novac od posvećenih darova što se donosi u Dom Jahvin, novac koji je nekomu nametnut procjenom i novac što ga tko od svoje volje donose u Dom Jahvin
5 let the priests take it to themselves, every man from [the proceeds of] his sale: and they shall repair the breaches of the house in all [places] wherever a breach shall be found.
neka svećenici uzimaju svaki od svoga znanca i oni neka tim poprave Dom gdje god se nađe koje oštećenje.”
6 And it came to pass in the twenty-third year of king Joas the priests [had] not repaired the breaches of the house.
Ali u dvadeset i trećoj godini kraljevanja Joaševa svećenici nisu još popravili Doma.
7 And king Joas called Jodae the priest, and the [other] priests, and said to them, Why have you not repaired the breaches of the house? now then receive no [more] money from your sales, for you shall give it to [repair the] breaches of the house.
Tada kralj Joaš pozva svećenika Jojadu i druge svećenike i reče im: “Zašto ne popravljate Dom? Odsad ne smijete više sebi uzimati novac od svojih znanaca nego ga morate dati za popravak Doma.”
8 And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, and not to repair the breaches of the house.
Svećenici pristadoše da ne uzimaju novac od naroda, ali ni Doma da ne popravljaju.
9 And Jodae the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it by the altar in the house of a man [belonging to] the house of the Lord, and the priests that kept the door put [therein] all the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
Tada svećenik Jojada uze kovčeg, proreza rupu na zaklopcu i stavi ga uza žrtvenik, zdesna od ulaza u Dom Jahvin. Svećenici, čuvari praga, stavljali su u nj sav novac sabran u Domu Jahvinu.
10 And it came to pass, when they saw that [there was] much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest went up, and they tied up and counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
Kad bi se vidjelo da u kovčegu ima mnogo novaca, došao bi kraljev tajnik s velikim svećenikom te bi prebrojili i zavezali novac koji se nalazio u Domu Jahvinu.
11 And they gave the money that had been collected into the hands of them that wrought the works, the overseers of the house of the Lord; and they gave it out to the carpenters and to the builders that wrought in the house of the Lord.
Prebrojeni novac uručivao se upraviteljima poslova oko popravka Doma Jahvina, a oni su isplaćivali drvodjeljama i graditeljima koji su radili u Domu Jahvinu
12 And to the masons, and to the hewers of stone, to purchase timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of the Lord, for all that was spent on the house of the Lord to repair [it].
i zidarima i klesačima kamena, i za nabavu drveta i tesanog kamena određena za popravak Doma Jahvina, ukratko: za troškove oko popravka Doma.
13 Only there were not to be made for the house of the Lord silver plates, studs, bowls, or trumpets, any vessel of gold or vessel of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the Lord:
Ali u Domu Jahvinu nisu se pravile srebrne čaše, ni noževi, ni plitice, ni trube, niti bilo kakav predmet od zlata ili srebra za novac koji je darovan,
14 for they were to give it to the workmen, and they repaired therewith the house of the Lord.
nego su ga davali radnicima koje su najmili za popravak Jahvina Doma.
15 Also they took no account of the men into whose hands they gave the money to give to the workmen, for they acted faithfully.
Nije se tražio obračun od ljudi kojima su predavali novac da ga daju radnicima, jer su oni radili savjesno.
16 Money for a sin-offering, and money for a trespass-offering, whatever happened to be brought into the house of the Lord, went to the priests.
Novac naknadnice i okajnice nije se unosio u Dom Jahvin, nego je pripao svećenicima.
17 Then went up Azael king of Syria, and fought against Geth, and took it: and Azael set his face to go against Jerusalem.
Tada Hazael, aramejski kralj, pođe u rat protiv Gata i osvoji ga. Zatim odluči poći protiv Jeruzalema.
18 And Joas king of Juda took all the holy things which Josaphat, and Joram, Ochozias, his fathers, and kings of Juda [had] consecrated, and what he had himself dedicated, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the Lord's house and the king's house, and he sent [them] to Azael king of Syria; and he went up from Jerusalem.
Joaš, judejski kralj, uze sve posvećene darove koje su posvetili judejski kraljevi, njegovi oci: Jošafat, Joram i Ahazja, sve što je sam prikazao i sve zlato koje se našlo u riznicima Doma Jahvina i kraljevskog dvora. Sve to posla Hazaelu, aramejskom kralju, i tako se ovaj udalji od Jeruzalema.
19 And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Ostala povijest Joaševa i sve što je učinio, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva judejskih?
20 And his servants rose up and made a conspiracy, and struck Joas in the house of Mallo that is in Sela.
Njegovi časnici ustadoše i skovaše zavjeru; ubiše Joaša u Bet Milu kad je u nj silazio.
21 And Jezirchar the son of Jemuath, and Jezabuth Somer's son, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amessias his son reigned in his stead.
Njegovi časnici Jozakar, sin Šimatov, i Jozabad, sin Šomerov, zadaše mu smrtni udarac. Pokopali su ga kraj njegovih otaca u Davidovu gradu, a njegov sin Amasja zakralji se mjesto njega.
