2 Kings 16
1 Ahaz, son of Jotham, became king of Judah in the seventeenth year of the reign of Pekah, son of Remaliah.
Sedamnaeste godine vladanja Pekaha, sina Remalijina, postade judejskim kraljem Ahaz, sin Jotamov.
2 Ahaz was twenty when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years. But unlike David his forefather, he did not do what was right in the sight of the Lord his God.
Ahazu je bilo dvadeset godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je šesnaest godina u Jeruzalemu, ali nije činio što je pravo u očima Jahve, Boga njegova, kao što je činio predak mu David.
3 He followed the ways of the kings of Israel, and he even sacrificed his son in the fire, participating in the disgusting practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
Živio je poput izraelskih kraljeva i sam je proveo svoga sina kroz oganj po gnusnom običaju naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao pred Izraelovim sinovima.
4 He sacrificed and presented burnt offerings on the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.
Prinosio je žrtve i kad po uzvišicama i brežuljcima i pod svakim zelenim drvetom.
5 Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came and attacked Jerusalem. They besieged Ahaz but couldn't defeat him.
Tada aramejski kralj Resin i Pekah, sin Remalijin, kralj Izraela, pođoše u rat protiv Jeruzalema. Opsjedoše ga, ali ga ne mogoše osvojiti.
6 This was when Rezin, king of Aram, recovered Elath for Edom. He expelled the people of Judah, and sent Edomites to Elath, where they still live to this day.
U to vrijeme aramejski kralj Resin vrati Elat Edomcima; protjerao je Judejce iz Elata; ušli su Edomci u njega i ondje su ostali do danas. -
7 Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, saying, “I'm your servant, and your son. Please come and rescue me from the kings of Aram and Israel who are attacking me.”
Tada Ahaz uputi poslanike asirskom kralju Tiglat-Pileseru da mu kažu: “Ja sam tvoj sluga i sin tvoj! Dođi i izbavi me iz ruku aramejskog kralja i kralja Izraela, koji su se digli protiv mene.”
8 Ahaz took the silver and gold from the Lord's Temple and from the treasuries of the king's palace, and he sent it to the king of Assyria as a gift.
Ahaz je uzeo srebro i zlato što se nalazilo u Domu Jahvinu i u riznicama kraljevskog dvora i sve je poslao na dar asirskom kralju.
9 The king of Assyria responded positively to him. He went and attacked Damascus, and captured it. He deported its inhabitants to Kir and executed Rezin.
I posluša ga asirski kralj: otišao je na Damask i osvojio ga. Stanovništvo je odveo u sužanjstvo u Kir, a Resina je pogubio.
10 King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria. During his visit he saw an altar in Damascus, and he sent Uriah the priest a drawing of the altar, along with instructions how to build it.
Kralj Ahaz otišao je u Damask u susret asirskom kralju Tiglat-Pileseru. I vidio je žrtvenik koji bijaše u Damasku. Tada kralj Ahaz posla svećeniku Uriji mjere žrtvenika, njegov nacrt i sve pojedinosti njegove građe.
11 So Uriah the priest built an altar following all the instructions King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, completing it before King Ahaz returned.
Svećenik Urija sagradi žrtvenik; sve je upute što ih je kralj Ahaz uputio iz Damaska izvršio svećenik Urija prije nego što se kralj Ahaz vratio iz Damaska.
12 When the king came back from Damascus he saw the altar. He went over to it and made offerings on it.
Pošto je kralj Ahaz stigao iz Damaska, vidio je žrtvenik, prišao mu i popeo se na nj.
13 He presented his burnt offering and his grain offering, he poured out his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his friendship offerings on it.
Spalio je na žrtveniku svoju paljenicu i svoju prinosnicu, izlio svoju ljevanicu i krvlju pričesnica poškropio žrtvenik.
14 He also moved the bronze altar that stood before the Lord from the front of the Temple, between the new altar and the Lord's Temple, and he placed it to the north of the new altar.
A mjedeni žrtvenik, koji bijaše pred Jahvom, maknuo je ispred Hrama, gdje je bio između novoga žrtvenika i Doma Jahvina. I postavio ga je pokraj novoga žrtvenika sa sjevera.
15 Then King Ahaz ordered Uriah the priest: “Use this new important altar to offer the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, the king's burnt offering and grain offering, and the burnt offering of all the people, and their grain offerings and their drink offerings. Sprinkle on this altar the blood of all the burnt offerings and sacrifices. The old bronze altar I'll use for divination.”
Kralj Ahaz zapovjedio je svećeniku Uriji: “Na velikom ćeš žrtveniku spaljivati jutarnju paljenicu i večernju prinosnicu, kraljevu paljenicu i njegovu prinosnicu, i paljenice, prinosnice i ljevanice svega naroda. Po njemu ćeš izlijevati svu krv paljenica i klanica. A o žrtveniku od mjedi još ću razmisliti.”
16 Uriah the priest followed King Ahaz's orders.
Svećenik Urija učini sve što mu je naredio kralj Ahaz.
17 King Ahaz also removed the frames of the movable carts, and also took out the bronze basin from each of them. He removed the Sea from the bronze bulls it rested on and placed it on a stone pedestal.
Kralj Ahaz skinuo je okvire s podnožja; s njih je skinuo i umivaonike. A mjedeno more skinuo je s volova koji su stajali pod njim i stavio ga na kameni pod.
18 He took down the Sabbath canopy they had built in the Temple, as well as the king's outer entrance to the Lord's Temple. He did this to please the king of Assyria.
Pred asirskim je kraljem uklonio iz Jahvina Doma Subotnji hodnik koji bijahu sagradili i vanjski kraljevski prilaz.
19 The rest of what happened in Ahaz's reign and all he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Ostala povijest Ahazova i sve što je učinio, zar to nije sve zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa judejskih kraljeva?
20 Ahaz died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Hezekiah succeeded him as king.
Ahaz je počinuo sa svojim ocima i sahranjen je u Davidovu gradu. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Ezekija.
