2 Kings 10
1 There were seventy descendants of King Ahab who were living there in Samaria. Jehu wrote a letter [and made copies of it] and sent them to the rulers of the city, to the elders, and to those who raised and tutored Ahab’s children.
А Ахав имаше седамдесет синова у Самарији; и Јуј написа књигу и посла је у Самарију ка главарима језраелским, старешинама и хранитељима Ахавовим, и рече:
2 [This is what he wrote]: “You are the ones who are [taking care of] the king’s descendants. You have chariots and horses and weapons, and you live in cities that have walls around them. So as soon as you receive this letter,
Како ова књига дође к вама, у којих су синови господара вашег и кола и коњи и град тврди и оружје,
3 choose one of the king’s sons, the one who is the best qualified, and appoint him to be your king. Then [prepare to] fight to defend him.”
Гледајте који је најбољи и највештији између синова господара вашег, те га посадите на престо оца његовог, и бијте се за дом господара свог.
4 But [when they got those letters from Jehu and read them], they became very afraid. They said, “King Joram and King Ahaziah could not resist him; (how can we resist him?/we cannot possibly resist him!)” [RHQ]
Али се они врло уплашише и рекоше: Ето, два цара не одолеше му, а како ћемо му ми одолети?
5 So the officer who was in charge of the palace and the mayor of the city sent a message to Jehu saying, “We want to serve you, and we are ready to do whatever you tell us to do. We will not appoint anyone to become our king. You do whatever you think is best.”
И који беше над домом, и који беше над градом, и старешине и хранитељи послаше к Јују говорећи: Ми смо слуге твоје, чинићемо све што нам кажеш; нећемо никога постављати царем; чини шта ти је воља.
6 So Jehu sent a second letter to them, writing this: “If you (are on my side/want to help me), and if you are ready to obey me, [kill] King Ahab’s descendants [and cut off their heads and] bring their heads to me here in Jezreel at this time tomorrow.” The seventy descendants of King Ahab were being brought up and supervised by the leaders of [Samaria] city.
И он им написа другу књигу говорећи: Ако сте моји и слушате мене, узмите главе свих синова господара свог и дођите к мени сутра у ово доба у Језраел. А синови цареви, седамдесет људи, беху код најзнатнијих грађана, који их храњаху.
7 When they received the letter from Jehu, they killed all seventy of Ahab’s descendants and [cut off their heads]. They put their heads in baskets and sent them to Jehu at Jezreel.
И кад им дође ова књига, узеше синове цареве и поклаше, седамдесет људи, и метнувши главе њихове у котарице послаше му у Језраел.
8 A messenger came to Jehu and told him, “They have brought the heads of Ahab’s descendants.” So Jehu commanded that the heads should be put in two piles at the city gate and that the heads should stay there until the next morning.
И дође гласник, који му јави говорећи: Донесоше главе синова царевих. А он рече: Сложите их у две гомиле на вратима, нека стоје до сутра.
9 The next morning he went out [to the city gate] and said to all the people, “I am the one who plotted against King Joram and killed him. You are not guilty of doing that. But [it was Yahweh, not I] [RHQ] who [commanded that] all these [descendants of Ahab should be] killed.
А ујутру изашав стаде и рече свему народу: Ви нисте криви; ето, ја се подигох на господара свог и убих га; али ко поби све ове?
10 So you need to know that everything that Yahweh said would happen has happened. He has caused to happen what he told the prophet Elijah would happen.”
Видите сада да није изостала ниједна реч Господња коју рече Господ за дом Ахавов, него је Господ учинио што је говорио преко слуге свог Илије.
11 Then Jehu executed all the other relatives of Ahab in Jezreel, and all Ahab’s officers, and close friends, and his priests. He did not allow any of them to remain alive.
Потом поби Јуј све који беху остали од дома Ахавовог у Језраелу и све властеље његове и пријатеље његове и свештенике његове, да не оста ниједан.
12 Then Jehu left [Jezreel] and went toward Samaria. While he was going there, at a place called ‘Shepherds’ Camp’,
Потом се подиже и пође да иде у Самарију; и кад беше код колибе пастирске на путу,
13 he met some relatives of King Ahaziah of Judah. He asked them, “Who are you?” They replied, “We are relatives of King Ahaziah. We are going to Jezreel to visit the children of Queen Jezebel and the other members of King [Joram’s] family.”
Нађе Јуј браћу Охозије цара Јудиног, и рече: Ко сте? Они рекоше: Ми смо браћа Охозијина и идемо да поздравимо синове цареве и синове царичине.
14 Jehu said to his men, “Seize them!” So they seized them and killed all of them at the pit named Beth-Eked. There were 42 people whom they killed; they did not allow any of them to remain alive.
Тада рече: Похватајте их живе. И похваташе их живе и поклаше их на студенцу код колибе пастирске, њих четрдесет, и не остави ниједног од њих.
15 Then Jehu [continued to travel toward Samaria]. Along the road, he was met by Jonadab, a leader of the Rechab clan. Jehu greeted him and said to him, “Are you as devoted to me [IDM] as I am devoted to you?” Jonadab replied, “Yes, I am.” Jehu said, “If you are, shake hands with me.” So Jonadab shook hands with him, and Jehu helped him to get into his chariot.
Потом отишавши оданде нађе Јонадава, сина Рихавовог, који га срете. А он га поздрави и рече му: Је ли срце твоје право као што је моје срце према твом? А Јонадав одговори: Јесте. Ако јесте, одговори Јуј, дај ми руку. И даде му руку; а он га узе к себи у кола.
16 Jehu said to him, “Come with me, and you will see that I am very devoted to Yahweh.” So they rode together to Samaria.
И рече: Хајде са мном, и види моју ревност за Господа. И одвезоше га на његовим колима.
17 When they arrived in Samaria, Jehu killed all of Ahab’s relatives who were still alive. He did not (spare any of them/allow any of them to remain alive). That was what Yahweh told Elijah would happen.
И кад дође у Самарију, поби све што беше остало од дома Ахавовог у Самарији докле га не истреби по речи коју Господ рече Илији.
18 Then Jehu summoned all the people [of Samaria], and said to them, “King Ahab was devoted to [your god] Baal a little bit, but I will serve him much more.
Потом сабра Јуј сав народ и рече му: Ахав је мало служио Валу, Јуј ће му служити више.
19 So now summon all the prophets of Baal, all of Baal’s priests, and all the others who worship Baal. I am going to make a great sacrifice to Baal. I want all of them to be there. Any of them who is not there will be executed.” But Jehu was planning to trick them; he was planning to kill all those who worshiped Baal.
Зато дозовите ми све пророке Валове, све слуге његове и све свештенике његове, ниједан да не изостане, јер велику жртву хоћу да принесем Валу; ко не дође, погинуће. А Јуј чињаше тако из преваре хотећи побити слуге Валове.
20 Then Jehu commanded, “Announce that we are going to set aside a day to honor Baal.” So they did that.
И рече Јуј: Светкујте светковину Валу. И огласише је.
21 Jehu [decided what day they would gather and] sent messages throughout Israel [telling everyone what day to gather on], and on that day, everyone who worshiped Baal came. No one stayed at home. They all went into the huge temple of Baal and filled it from one end to the other.
И посла Јуј по свему Израиљу, те дођоше све слуге Валове, и не изоста ниједан да не дође; и уђоше у кућу Валову, и напуни се кућа Валова од краја до краја.
22 Jehu told the priest who took care of the sacred robes to bring them out and give them to the people who worshiped Baal. So the priest did that.
Тада рече ономе који беше над ризницом: Изнеси хаљине свим слугама Валовим. И изнесе им хаљине.
23 Then Jehu went into the temple of Baal with Jonadab, and he said to the people who were there to worship Baal, “Be sure that only those who worship Baal are here. Be sure that no one who worships Yahweh has come in.”
Затим уђе Јуј с Јонадавом, сином Рихавовим у кућу Валову, и рече слугама Валовим: Промотрите и видите да није ту с вама који слуга Господњи, него само слуге Валове.
24 Then he and Jonadab prepared to offer sacrifices and other offerings to Baal that would be completely burned [on the altar that was there in Samaria]. But Jehu had stationed eighty of his men outside the temple, and had said to them, “I want you to kill all the people [who are in the temple]. Anyone who allows one of them to escape will be executed!”
И тако уђоше да принесу приносе и жртве паљенице, а Јуј намести напољу осамдесет људи, и рече: Ако утече који од ових људи које вам дајем у руке, душа ће ваша бити за душу његову.
25 As soon as Jehu [and Jonadab] had finished killing the animals that would be completely burned to be an offering to Baal, they [went outside and] said to the guards and officers, “Go in and kill all of them! Do not allow any of them to escape!” So the guards and officers went in and killed them all with their swords. Then they dragged their corpses outside the temple. Then they went into the inner room of the temple,
А кад се сврши жртва паљеница, заповеди Јуј војницима и војводама: Уђите, побијте их, да не изађе ниједан. И тако их побише оштрим мачем и побацаше их војници и војводе; потом отидоше у сваки град где беше кућа Валова.
26 and they carried out the sacred pillar of Baal that was there, and they burned it.
И избацише ликове из куће Валове, и спалише их.
27 So they destroyed that pillar that honored Baal, and then they burned down the temple, and made it a public toilet. And it is still a toilet!
И изломише лик Валов и раскопаше кућу Валову, и од ње начинише проходе до данашњег дана.
28 That is how Jehu got rid of the worship of Baal in Israel.
Тако Јуј истреби Вала из Израиља.
29 But Jehu did not quit committing the kinds of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin by worshiping the gold [statues of] calves in Bethel and Dan [cities].
Али не одступи Јуј од грехова Јеровоама сина Наватовог, којима наваде на грех Израиља, од златних телаца, који беху у Ветиљу и у Дану.
30 Then Yahweh said to Jehu, “You have done what pleased me by getting rid of all of Ahab’s descendants. So I promise you that your son and grandson and great-grandson and great-great-grandson will all be kings of Israel.”
А Господ рече Јују: Што си добро свршио што је право преда мном, и што си учинио дому Ахавовом све што ми је било у срцу, зато ће синови твоји седети на престолу Израиљевом до четвртог кољена.
31 But Jehu did not obey all the laws of Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people. He did not stop committing the sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the Israeli people to sin.
Али Јуј не пажаше да ходи по закону Господа Бога Израиљевог свим срцем својим, не одступи од грехова Јеровоамових, којима наведе на грех Израиља.
32 At that time, Yahweh began to cause the territory controlled by Israel to become smaller. [The army of] King Hazael [of Syria] conquered much of the Israeli territory.
У то време поче Господ крњити Израиља, јер их поби Азаило по свим међама Израиљевим.
33 He conquered the parts east of the Jordan [River], as far south as Aroer [town] on the Arnon [River]. That included [the] Gilead and Bashan [regions], where the tribes of Gad, Reuben, and half of the tribe of Manasseh lived.
Од Јордана к истоку сунчаном, сву земљу галадску, Гадову и Рувимову и Манасијину, од Ароира на потоку Арнону, и Галад и Васан.
34 [If you want to read more] about all the other things that Jehu did [RHQ], they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
А остала дела Јујева и све што је чинио, и сва јунаштва његова, нису ли записана у дневнику царева Израиљевих?
35 Jehu died [EUP], and was buried in Samaria. His son Jehoahaz became the king in place of his father.
И почину Јуј код отаца својих, и погребоше га у Самарији; а на његово се место зацари Јоахаз син његов.
36 Jehu had ruled in Samaria as the king of Israel for twenty-eight years.
А царова Јуј над Израиљем у Самарији двадесет и осам година.
