2 Kings 12
1 When Jehu had been ruling Israel for almost seven years, Joash became the king of Judah. He ruled in Jerusalem for 40 years. His mother was Zibiah, from Beersheba [city].
Sedme godine Jujeve poèe carovati Joas, i carova èetrdeset godina u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Sivija iz Virsaveje.
2 All his life, he did what pleased Yahweh, because Jehoiada the priest instructed/taught him.
I èinjaše Joas što je pravo pred Gospodom dokle ga god uèaše sveštenik Jodaj.
3 But the places where the people worshiped [Yahweh] on the tops of hills were not destroyed, and they continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense at those places, [instead of at the place that God had chosen for them in Jerusalem].
Ali visine ne biše oborene; narod još prinošaše žrtve i kaðaše na visinama.
4 Joash said to the priests, “You must take all the money which the people contribute, both the money they are required to give and the money that they themselves decide to give, as sacred offerings to buy things for the temple.
I Joas reèe sveštenicima: sav novac posveæeni, što se donosi u dom Gospodnji, novac onijeh koji idu u broj, i novac od ucjene svaèije, i sav novac što ko donosi od svoje volje u dom Gospodnji,
5 Each priest must take the money from people who know him (OR, from one of the treasurers), and he must use that money to repair the temple whenever he sees that there is something that needs to be repaired.”
Neka sveštenici uzimaju, svaki od svojega poznanika, i oni neka opravljaju što je trošno u domu gdje se god naðe da treba opraviti.
6 But after Joash had been ruling for almost twenty-three years, the priests still had not repaired anything in the temple.
Ali do godine dvadeset treæe carovanja Joasova sveštenici još ne opraviše što bijaše trošno u domu.
7 So Joash summoned Jehoiada and the other priests and said to them, “(Why are you not repairing things in the temple?/You should have been repairing things in the temple!) [RHQ] From now on, you must not keep the money that you receive from people who know you (OR, the treasurers). You must give it to the people who will be repairing things in the temple!”
Tada car Joas dozva Jodaja sveštenika i ostale sveštenike, i reèe im: zašto ne opravljate što je trošno u domu? Otsele ne uzimajte novaca od svojih poznanika, jer treba da vratite da se opravi što je trošno u domu.
8 The priests agreed to do that, and they also agreed that they themselves would not do the repair work.
I sveštenici pristaše da ne uzimaju novaca od naroda i da ne opravljaju što je trošno u domu.
9 Then Jehoiada took a chest and bored a hole in the lid. He placed it alongside the altar [for burning incense/sacrifices] that was on the right as anyone enters the temple. The priests who guarded the entrance to the temple put in the box the money that was brought to the temple.
Tada sveštenik Jodaj uze jedan kovèeg, i proreza rupu na zaklopcu, i metnu ga kod oltara s desne strane kako se ulazi u dom Gospodnji; i sveštenici koji èuvahu vrata metaše u nj sve novce koji se donošahu u dom Gospodnji.
10 Whenever they saw that there was a lot of money in the chest, the king’s secretary and the Supreme Priest would come and count the money. Then they would put it in bags and tie the bags shut.
A kad viðahu da ima mnogo novaca u kovèegu, tada dolažaše pisar carev s poglavarom sveštenièkim, i izbrojivši svezivahu novce koji bi se našli u domu Gospodnjem.
11 Then, after they weighed it, they would give the money to the men who supervised the work in the temple. Then the supervisors would use that money to pay the carpenters and builders who did the repair work in the temple,
Potom davahu gotove novce onima koji upravljahu poslom i starahu se za dom Gospodnji, a oni ih izdavahu drvodjeljama i poslenicima koji opravljahu dom Gospodnji,
12 and the masons and the stone cutters. Also with some of that money they bought timber and stones that had been cut to be used in the repair work, and to pay all the other expenses for the repair work.
I zidarima i kamenarima, i da se dobavlja drvo i tesano kamenje, da se opravi što bješe trošno u domu Gospodnjem, i da se dobavi sve što trebaše da se opravi dom.
13 But they did not use any of that money [to pay men] to make silver cups or wick trimmers or bowls or trumpets or any other items made of silver or gold to be used in the temple.
Ali novcima koji se donošahu u dom Gospodnji ne graðahu èaša srebrnijeh za dom Gospodnji, ni viljušaka, ni kotliæa, ni truba, niti kakih sudova zlatnijeh ni srebrnijeh;
14 All that money was given to the men who were doing the work of repairing the temple.
Nego ih davahu onima koji bijahu nad poslom da se opravi za njih dom Gospodnji.
15 The men who supervised the work always did things honestly, so the king’s secretary and the Supreme Priest never required that the supervisors report what they had spent the money for.
I ne tražahu raèuna od ljudi kojima predavahu novce da izdaju poslenicima, jer vjerno raðahu.
16 But the money that people gave to pay for the wrong things that they had done and the money they gave to purify themselves because of the sins that they had committed was not put in the chest. That money belonged to the priests.
Novci za prijestup i novci za grijehe ne donošahu se u dom Gospodnji; pripadahu sveštenicima.
17 At that time, Hazael, the king of Syria, went [with his army] and attacked Gath [city] and conquered it. Then he decided that they would attack Jerusalem.
Tada izide Azailo car Sirski, i udari na Gat i uze ga; potom se okrete Azailo da ide na Jerusalim.
18 So Joash, the king of Judah, took all the money that the previous kings, Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, had dedicated to Yahweh. He added some of his own money, and all the gold that was in the rooms in the temple where valuable things were kept/stored, and the gold in his palace, and sent it all to King Hazael, [to (appease him/persuade him to not attack Jerusalem)]. So King Hazael [took his army] away from Jerusalem.
A Joas car Judin uze sve posveæene stvari, što Josafat i Joram i Ohozija oci njegovi carevi Judini bijahu posvetili, i sve što sam bješe posvetio, i sve zlato što se naðe u riznicama doma Gospodnjega i doma careva, i posla Azailu caru Sirskom; i tako otide od Jerusalima.
19 [If you want to read more of] what Joash did, [it] is all written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
A ostala djela Joasova i sve što je èinio, nije li to zapisano u dnevniku careva Judinijeh?
20 Joash’s officials plotted against him, and two of them killed Joash on the road that goes down to [the] Silla [district]. The two men who did that were Jozabad, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer. Joash was buried in the place where his ancestors were buried, [in the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
A sluge njegove podigoše se i pobuniše se, i ubiše Joasa u domu Milonu, kuda se ide u Silu.
Joazahar sin Simeatov i Jozavad sin Somirov, sluge njegove, ubiše ga, te umrije; i pogreboše ga kod otaca njegovijeh u gradu Davidovu; a na njegovo mjesto zacari se Amasija sin njegov.
