2 Kings 14
1 After Jehoash had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
Druge godine kraljevanja Joaša, sina Joahazova, nad Izraelom, postade judejskim kraljem Amasja, sin Joašev.
2 He was 25 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother was Jehoaddin; she was from Jerusalem.
Bilo mu je dvadeset i pet godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je dvadeset i devet godina u Jeruzalemu. Mati mu se zvala Joadana i bila je iz Jeruzalema.
3 Amaziah did many things that pleased Yahweh, but he did not do as many things that pleased Yahweh as King David had done. He did some of the good things that his father Joash had done.
Činio je što je pravo u Jahvinim očima, ali ne sasvim kao praotac njegov David. U svemu je slijedio Joaša, svoga oca.
4 But, [like his father, ] he did not tear down the places for worshipping Yahweh at pagan shrines. The people continued to burn incense [to honor Yahweh] on those hills [instead of in Jerusalem, the place that Yahweh had appointed].
Ali uzvišica nije razrušio i narod je svejednako prinosio žrtve i kad na uzvišicama.
5 As soon as he was completely in control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
Kad je učvrstio kraljevstvo, smakao je one časnike koji su mu ubili oca.
6 But he did not execute their children. He obeyed what was written in the laws that God gave to Moses: “Parents must not be executed for [the crimes/sins committed by] their children, and children must not be executed for [crimes/sins committed by] their parents. People must be executed only for the sins that they themselves [have committed].”
Ali nije pogubio sinova onih ubojica, prema onome što je napisano u knjizi Zakona Mojsijeva, gdje Jahve zapovijeda: “Neka se očevi ne pogubljuju za sinove ni sinovi za očeve, nego svatko neka gine za svoj grijeh.”
7 Amaziah’s soldiers killed 10,000 soldiers of the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [south of the Dead Sea], and they captured Sela [city] and gave it a new name, Joktheel. That is still its name.
On je potukao Edomce u Slanoj dolini, deset tisuća njih, i u bitki je zauzeo Selu; dao joj je ime Jokteel, koje nosi do današnjega dana.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to King Jehoash of Israel, saying “Come here and let’s talk together.”
Tada Amasja posla glasnike izraelskom kralju Joašu, sinu Jehuova sina Joahaza, i poruči mu: “Dođi da se ogledamo!”
9 But King Jehoash replied to King Amaziah: “Once a thornbush growing [in the mountains] in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar tree, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in order that he may marry her.’ But a wild animal in Lebanon passed by the thornbush and trampled it.
A izraelski kralj Joaš odvrati judejskom kralju Amasji: “Libanonski je trn jedanput poslao glasnike k libanonskom cedru: 'Daj kćer mome sinu za ženu', ali su divlje zvijeri libanonske prošle i trn izgazile.
10 [The meaning of what I am saying is that] your army has defeated the army of Edom, so now you have become very proud. But you should be content with defeating the people of Edom, and allow your soldiers to stay at home. If you cause trouble [by fighting against] us, you will surely [RHQ] cause a disaster to happen to you and to your people.”
Potukao si Edomce, pa ti se srce uzobijestilo i tražiš slavu! Radije ostani kod kuće. Zašto izazivaš zlo i hoćeš da propadneš ti i svi Judejci s tobom?”
11 But Amaziah refused to heed Jehoash’s message. So he marched with his army to fight against the Israeli army at Beth-Shemesh [city] in Judah.
Ali Amasja ne posluša. Izađe izraelski kralj Joaš te se ogledaše u boju on i judejski kralj Amasja u Bet Šemešu u Judeji.
12 The Israeli army defeated the army of Judah, and all the soldiers of Judah fled and ran back home.
Izraelci poraziše Judejce i oni pobjegoše svaki pod svoj šator.
13 Jehoash’s army also captured King Amaziah there, and they also marched to Jerusalem and tore down the wall that was around the city, from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate. That was a section that was about (200 yards/180 meters) long.
Izraelski kralj Joaš uhvati u Bet Šemešu judejskoga kralja Amasju, sina Joaševa, sina Ahazjina, i odvede ga u Jeruzalem. Tada sruši jeruzalemski zid od Efrajimovih vrata do Ugaonih vrata, u dužini od četiri stotine lakata.
14 Jehoash’s soldiers seized all the gold and silver that they found, and all the utensils that were in the temple, and all the valuable things that were in the palace, and took them to Samaria. They also took to Samaria some prisoners whom they had captured.
Uzevši sve zlato, srebro i posuđe što se nalazilo u Domu Jahvinu i u riznici kraljevskog dvora, povrh toga i taoce, vrati se u Samariju.
15 [If you want to know about] all the other things that Jehoash did when he was king, including when he [and his army] fought against [the army of] King Amaziah of Judah, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Ostala povijest Joaševa, sve što je činio i poduzimao i kako je ratovao s Amasjom, judejskim kraljem, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa izraelskih kraljeva?
16 Jehoash died [EUP], and he was buried in Samaria, where the other kings of Israel had been buried. Then his son Jeroboam became the king.
Joaš je počinuo sa svojim ocima i pokopan je u Samariji uz kraljeve izraelske. Sin njegov Jeroboam zakralji se mjesto njega.
17 Amaziah, the king of Judah, lived for 15 more years after Jehoash, the king of Israel, died.
Amasja, sin Joašev, judejski kralj, živio je još petnaest godina poslije smrti izraelskog kralja Joaša, sina Joahazova.
18 [If you want to know more about] everything else that Amaziah did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
A ostala povijest Amasjina zar nije zapisana u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva judejskih?
19 Some people in Jerusalem plotted against Amaziah, so he fled to Lachish [city]. But they followed him there and killed him.
Protiv njega je skovana urota u Jeruzalemu. Iako je on pobjegao u Lakiš, poslaše za njim u Lakiš ljude koji ga ondje ubiše.
20 They took his corpse back to Jerusalem and buried it where his ancestors had been buried, in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’.
Odande su ga prenijeli na konjima i sahranili u Jeruzalemu kraj njegovih otaca, u Davidovu gradu.
21 Then all the people of Judah appointed Amaziah’s son Uzziah, when he was 16 years old, to be their king
Tada sav judejski narod uze Azahju, komu bijaše šesnaest godina, i zakralji ga namjesto njegova oca Amasje.
22 After his father died, Uzziah’s workers captured Elath [city], and it came under the control of Judah again.
On opet sagradi Elat povrativši ga Judeji, pošto je kralj počinuo kod svojih otaca.
23 When Amaziah had been ruling Judah for almost 15 years, Jeroboam became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for 41 years.
Petnaeste godine kraljevanja judejskog kralja Amasje, sina Joaševa, postade izraelskim kraljem u Samariji Jeroboam, sin Joašev. On je kraljevao četrdeset i jednu godinu.
24 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did not stop committing the same kind of sins that Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, committed, sins which led the Israeli people to sin also.
Činio je što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, nije se ostavio nijednoga grijeha Jeroboama, sina Nebatova, koji je zaveo Izraela.
25 His soldiers conquered again some of the territory that had previously belonged to Israel, from Hamath [city] in the north to the Dead Sea in the south. That is what Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis worshiped, promised the prophet Jonah, the son of Amittai, from Gath-Hepher [town], would happen.
On je dobio natrag izraelsko područje od Ulaza u Hamat do Mrtvoga mora, prema riječi koju je Jahve, Bog Izraelov, rekao preko sluge svoga Jone, sina Amitajeva, proroka iz Gat Hahefera.
26 That happened because Yahweh saw that [the Israelis’ enemies were causing] the Israelis [to] suffer very much. And there was absolutely no one [IDM] who would help them.
Jer je Jahve vidio ljutu nevolju Izraelovu da više nema ni slobodnih ni robova i nikoga da pomogne Izraelu.
27 But Yahweh said that he would not destroy Israel completely, so he enabled King Jeroboam to rescue them.
Ali Jahve nije odlučio izbrisati ispod neba ime Izraelovo: spasio ga je rukom Jeroboama, sina Joaševa.
28 [If you want to know more about] everything else that Jeroboam did, [about] his fighting courageously in battles, and [about] his [enabling the Israelis to] capture again Damascus and Hamath [cities], they are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Ostala povijest Jeroboama, sve što je učinio i sve što je poduzimao, kako je ratovao i kako je vratio Damask Judi i Izraelu, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva izraelskih?
29 Jeroboam died [EUP], [and was buried] where the other kings of Israel [were buried], and his son Zechariah became the king.
Jeroboam je počinuo sa svojim ocima. Pokopali su ga u Samariji uz kraljeve izraelske, a njegov sin Zaharija zakralji se mjesto njega.
