2 Kings 12
1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash has reigned, and he has reigned forty years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zibiah of Beer-Sheba,
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 Jehoash does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH all his days in which Jehoiada the priest directed him,
Joaš je činio što je pravo u očima Jahve svega svog vijeka jer ga je poučavao svećenik Jojada.
3 only, the high places have not been removed—the people are still sacrificing and making incense in high places.
Ali uzvišica nisu srušili i narod je svejednako prinosio žrtve i kad na uzvišicama.
4 And Jehoash says to the priests, “All the money of the sanctified things that is brought into the house of YHWH, the money of him who is passing over, the money of each of the souls—his valuation, all the money that goes up on the heart of a man to bring into the house of YHWH,
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 the priests take to themselves, each from his acquaintance, and they strengthen the breach of the house in all [places] there where a breach is found.”
neka svećenici uzimaju svaki od svoga znanca i oni neka tim poprave Dom gdje god se nađe koje oštećenje.”
6 And it comes to pass, in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash, the priests have not strengthened the breach of the house,
Ali u dvadeset i trećoj godini kraljevanja Joaševa svećenici nisu još popravili Doma.
7 and King Jehoash calls to Jehoiada the priest, and to the priests, and says to them, “Why are you not strengthening the breach of the house? And now, receive no money from your acquaintances, but give it for the breach 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 do not consent to receive money from the people, nor to strengthen the breach of the house,
Svećenici pristadoše da ne uzimaju novac od naroda, ali ni Doma da ne popravljaju.
9 and Jehoiada the priest takes a chest, and pierces a hole in its lid, and puts it near the altar, on the right side, as one comes into the house of YHWH, and the priests keeping the threshold have put all the money there that is brought into the house of YHWH.
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 comes to pass, at their seeing that the money [is] abundant in the chest, that there goes up a scribe of the king, and of the high priest, and they bind [it] up, and count the money that is found [in] the house of YHWH,
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 have given the weighed money into the hands of those doing the work, those inspecting the house of YHWH, and they bring it out to those working in the wood, and to builders who are working in the house of YHWH,
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 those [repairing] the wall, and to hewers of stone, and to buy wood and hewn stones to strengthen the breach of the house of YHWH, and for all that goes out on the house, to strengthen 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 is not made for the house of YHWH basins of silver, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessel of gold, and vessel of silver, out of the money that is brought into the house of YHWH;
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 give it to those doing the work, and they have strengthened the house of YHWH with it,
nego su ga davali radnicima koje su najmili za popravak Jahvina Doma.
15 and they do not reckon with the men into whose hand they give the money to give to those doing the work, for they are dealing in faithfulness.
Nije se tražio obračun od ljudi kojima su predavali novac da ga daju radnicima, jer su oni radili savjesno.
16 The money of a trespass-offering and the money of sin-offerings is not brought into the house of YHWH—it is for the priests.
Novac naknadnice i okajnice nije se unosio u Dom Jahvin, nego je pripao svećenicima.
17 Then Hazael king of Aram goes up and fights against Gath, and captures it, and Hazael sets his face to go up against Jerusalem;
Tada Hazael, aramejski kralj, pođe u rat protiv Gata i osvoji ga. Zatim odluči poći protiv Jeruzalema.
18 and Jehoash king of Judah takes all the sanctified things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had sanctified, and his own sanctified things, and all the gold that is found in the treasures of the house of YHWH and of the house of the king, and sends [them] to Hazael king of Aram, and he goes up from off 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 matters of Joash and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Ostala povijest Joaševa i sve što je učinio, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva judejskih?
20 And his servants rise, and make a conspiracy, and strike Joash in the house of Millo, that is going down to Silla.
Njegovi časnici ustadoše i skovaše zavjeru; ubiše Joaša u Bet Milu kad je u nj silazio.
21 Indeed, Jozachar son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad son of Shemer, his servants, have struck him, and he dies, and they bury him with his fathers in the City of David, and his son Amaziah reigns 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.
