2 Kings 11
1 When King Ahaziah’s mother Athaliah saw that her son had been killed, she commanded that all the members of Ahaziah’s family [who might become king] must be executed.
Zato Ahazjina mati Atalija, vidjevši gdje joj sin poginu, ustade i posmica sav kraljevski rod.
2 So Ahaziah’s sons were all about to be murdered. But Jehosheba, who was King Jehoram’s daughter and Ahaziah’s half-sister, took Ahaziah’s [very young] son Joash and hid him and (his nursemaid/the woman who took care of him) in a bedroom [in the temple]. So he was not killed.
Ali Jošeba, kći kralja Jorama i sestra Ahazjina, uze Ahazjina sina Joaša; ukravši ga između kraljevih sinova koje su ubijali, metnu ga s dojiljom u ložnicu. Tako ga je sakrila od Atalije te nije pogubljen.
3 He stayed with Jehosheba for six years. All during that time, he remained hidden in the temple, while Athaliah ruled [Judah].
Bio je sakriven u Domu Jahvinu šest godina, sve dok je zemljom vladala Atalija.
4 But during the next year, Jehoiada the Supreme Priest summoned the officers who supervised the royal bodyguards and the palace guards. He told them to come to the temple. There he required them to solemnly promise that they would do what he told them to do. And he showed King Ahaziah’s son Joash to them.
Sedme godine Jojada posla po satnike Karijaca i tjelesnu stražu i pozva ih k sebi u Dom Jahvin. Sklopi s njima savez, zakle ih i pokaza im kraljeva sina.
5 He gave them these instructions: “There are three groups of you guards. When one group finishes their work on the Sabbath day, [divide yourselves into] three smaller groups. One group must guard the palace.
I reče im: “Evo što valja da učinite: trećina vas koji subotom ulazite u službu neka čuva stražu kod kraljevskoga dvora.
6 Another group must guard at the Sur Gate. The other group must guard at the gate behind the other groups.
Druga trećina, ona kod Surskih vrata, i treća trećina, ona kod stražnjih stražarskih vrata, neka čuvaju stražu kod ulaza u dvor;
7 The two groups that are not working on the Sabbath day must guard the temple [to protect little King Joash].
a ostala dva vaša odreda, svi koji subotom izlaze iz službe, neka čuvaju stražu u Domu Jahvinu kod kralja.
8 You must stand around the king wherever he goes, with your weapons in your hands. You must kill anyone who comes near you.”
Tako ćete okružiti kralja, svaki s oružjem u ruci. I tko god pokuša proći kroz vaše redove, neka bude pogubljen. Budite uz kralja kamo god pođe ili izađe.”
9 The officers [who supervised the guards] did what Jehoiada told them to do. Each one brought to Jehoiada the guards that he supervised—the guards who were just finishing their work and those who were about to start their work on the Sabbath day.
Satnici su učinili sve kako im je naredio svećenik Jojada. Svaki je od njih uzeo svoje ljude koji subotom ulaze u službu s onima koji subotom izlaze. I svi su došli svećeniku Jojadi.
10 The priest distributed to the commanders of the guards the spears and shields that had belonged to King David, that were kept/stored in the temple.
Svećenik dade satnicima koplja i štitove kralja Davida što su bili u Domu Jahvinu.
11 Then he commanded all the guards to stand in their positions, each one with his sword in his hand, all around the young king.
Stražari se svrstaše, s oružjem u ruci, od južne do sjeverne strane Doma i prema žrtveniku i Domu oko kralja unaokolo.
12 Then he brought Joash out. He put the crown on his head and gave him a scroll on which were written the rules [that the kings needed to obey]. Then he poured some olive oil on Joash’s head and proclaimed that he was now the king. The people all clapped their hands and shouted, “We desire/hope that the king will live for many years!”
Tada Jojada izvede sina kraljeva, stavi mu krunu i dade mu Svjedočanstvo te ga pomaza za kralja. Pljeskali su i vikali: “Živio kralj!”
13 When Athaliah heard the noise that was being made by the guards and the other people, she ran to the temple, where the people were gathered.
Kad Atalija ču viku naroda, dođe k narodu u Dom Jahvin.
14 She saw the new king standing there alongside one of the big pillars, which was the place at the temple where the kings usually stood. She saw that he was surrounded by the temple officers and men blowing trumpets, and that the people were shouting joyfully, and [some of] them were also blowing trumpets. She tore her clothes [to show her distress] and shouted, “You are traitors! You have tricked/deceived me!”
Pogleda bolje, kad gle, kralj, po običaju, stoji na svojem mjestu, a pred kraljem zapovjednici i svirači; sav puk klikće od radosti i trubi u trube. Tad Atalija razdrije haljine i povika: “Izdaja! Izdaja!”
15 Jehoiada [immediately] said, “Kill her, but do not kill her here at the temple of Yahweh! Take her away between two rows of guards. And kill anyone who tries to rescue her!”
Svećenik Jojada naredi satnicima i vojnim zapovjednicima: “Izvedite je kroz redove i tko krene za njom pogubite ga mačem.” Još je svećenik dodao: “Nemojte je smaknuti u Domu Jahvinu.”
16 [She tried to flee, but] the guards seized her and took her to the palace, to the place where horses enter the courtyard. They killed her there.
Staviše ruke na nju; a kad je kroz Konjska vrata stigla do kraljevskog dvora, ondje je pogubiše.
17 Then Jehoiada made a solemn agreement between the king and the people, that they would always (obey/be faithful to) Yahweh. He also made an agreement requiring the people to be loyal to Joash their king.
Tada Jojada sklopi savez između Jahve, kralja i naroda da narod bude narod Jahvin.
18 Then all the people of Israel who were there went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and the statues of Baal. They also killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of the altars. Jehoiada stationed/put guards at the temple of Yahweh.
Potom sav narod ode u Baalov hram i razoriše ga, porušiše žrtvenike i polomiše likove; a Baalova svećenika Matana ubiše pred žrtvenicima. A svećenik opet postavi straže kod Doma Jahvina.
19 Then he and the officers of the temple, the officers who supervised the royal bodyguards, and the king’s bodyguards brought the king from the temple to the palace. All the people [followed them]. Joash entered the palace at the Guard Gate and sat down on the throne, [which showed that he was the new king].
Zatim uze satnike Karijaca, stražu i sav narod. Oni izvedoše kralja iz Doma Jahvina i uvedoše ga u dvor kroz Vrata stražarska. I Joaš sjede na kraljevsko prijestolje.
20 All the people of Judah rejoiced. And because Athaliah had been killed, the city was quiet/calm.
Sav se puk veselio i grad se smirio kad su Ataliju ubili mačem u kraljevskom dvoru.
21 Joash was seven years old when he became the king [of Judah].
Joašu je bilo sedam godina kad se zakraljio.
