2 Dnevnika 24
1 Bijaše Joasu sedam godina kad se zacari, i carova èetrdeset godina u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Sivija iz Virsaveje.
Joash was seven years old when he began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
2 I èinjaše Joas što je pravo pred Gospodom dokle god bijaše živ Jodaj sveštenik.
And Joash did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 I Jodaj ga oženi dvjema ženama, te rodi sinove i kæeri.
And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.
4 Potom Joas naumi da opravi dom Gospodnji.
And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to restore the house of the LORD.
5 I sazva sveštenike i Levite, pa im reèe: poðite po gradovima Judinijem i kupite od svega Izrailja novaca da se opravlja dom Boga vašega od godine do godine, i vi pohitajte s tijem. Ali ne hitješe Leviti.
And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.
6 Zato car dozva Jodaja poglavara i reèe mu: zašto ne nastojiš da Leviti donose iz Judeje i Jerusalima priloge koje je naredio Mojsije sluga Gospodnji zboru Izrailjevu na šator od sastanka?
And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tax of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tent of the testimony?
7 Jer bezbožna Gotolija i sinovi njezini oplijeniše dom Gospodnji i sve stvari posveæene domu Gospodnjemu obratiše na Vale.
For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD did they bestow upon the Baalim.
8 I tako zapovjedi car te naèiniše kovèeg, i metnuše ga na vrata doma Gospodnjega spolja.
So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.
9 I oglasiše po Judeji i po Jerusalimu da donose Gospodu prilog koji je naredio Mojsije sluga Božji Izrailju u pustinji.
And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for the LORD the tax that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.
10 I obradovaše se knezovi i sav narod, i donoseæi metahu u kovèeg dokle se ne svrši.
And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
11 I kad donošahu Leviti kovèeg po zapovijesti carevoj, vidjevši da ima mnogo novaca, dolažaše pisar carev i poslanik poglavara sveštenièkoga, te izruèivahu kovèeg, potom ga opet odnošahu i ostavljahu na njegovo mjesto; i tako èinjahu svaki dan, i nakupiše mnogo novaca.
And it was so, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king’s office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king’s scribe and the chief priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
12 I davaše ga car Jodaj nastojnicima nad poslom oko doma Gospodnjega, a oni naimahu kamenare i drvodjelje da se obnovi dom Gospodnji, i kovaèe koji rade od gvožða i od mjedi, da se opravi dom Gospodnji.
And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD; and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to repair the house of the LORD.
13 I poslovahu poslenici, i opravljanje napredovaše pod njihovijem rukama, te povratiše domu Božijemu oblièje njegovo, i utvrdiše ga.
So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set up the house of God in its state, and strengthened it.
14 A kad svršiše, donesoše pred cara i Jodaja novce što pretekoše; i od toga naèini sudove za dom Gospodnji, sudove za službu i za žrtve, i kadionice, i druge sudove zlatne i srebrne. I tako prinošahu žrtve paljenice u domu Gospodnjem jednako svega vijeka Jodajeva.
And when they had made an end, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.
15 Potom ostarjevši Jodaj sit života umrije; sto i trideset godina bješe mu kad umrije.
But Jehoiada waxed old and was full of days, and he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.
16 I pogreboše ga u gradu Davidovu kod careva; jer èinjaše dobro Izrailju i Bogu i domu njegovu.
And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.
17 A kad umrije Jodaj, doðoše knezovi Judini i pokloniše se caru; tada ih posluša car,
Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.
18 Te ostaviše dom Gospoda Boga otaca svojih, i stadoše služiti lugovima i idolima; i podiže se gnjev Gospodnji na Judu i na Jerusalim za taj grijeh njihov.
And they forsook the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.
19 I slaše im proroke da ih vrate ka Gospodu, i oni im svedoèahu, ali ih ne poslušaše.
Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
20 I doðe duh Gospodnji na Zahariju sina Jodaja sveštenika, te stade više naroda i reèe im: ovako veli Bog: zašto prestupate zapovijesti Gospodnje? neæete biti sreæni; što ostaviste Gospoda, zato i on vas ostavi.
And the spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.
21 A oni se pobuniše na nj, i zasuše ga kamenjem po zapovijesti carevoj u trijemu doma Gospodnjega.
And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD.
22 I ne opomenu se Joas milosti koju mu uèini Jodaj otac njegov, nego ubi sina njegova; a on umiruæi reèe: Gospod neka vidi i traži.
Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon it, and require it.
23 A kad proðe godina, podiže se na nj vojska Sirska i uðe u zemlju Judejsku i u Jerusalim, i pobiše po narodu sve knezove narodne, i sav plijen od njih poslaše caru u Damasak.
And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the army of the Syrians came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus.
24 Ako i mala bješe vojska Sirska koja doðe, ipak Gospod dade u ruke njihove vrlo veliku vojsku, jer bjehu ostavili Gospoda Boga otaca svojih. I tako na Joasu izvršiše sud.
For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment upon Joash.
25 A kad otidoše od njega ostavivši ga u teškoj bolesti, pobuniše se na nj sluge njegove za krv sinova Jodaja sveštenika, i ubiše ga na postelji njegovoj, te pogibe; i pogreboše ga u gradu Davidovu, ali ga ne pogreboše u grobovima carskim.
And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases, ) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.
26 A ovo su što se pobuniše na nj: Zavad sin Simeate Amonke i Jozavad sin Simrite Moavke.
And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
27 A o sinovima njegovijem i o velikoj porezi što bi pod njim, i o graðenju doma Božijega, eto zapisano je u knjizi o carevima. A zacari se na njegovo mjesto Amasija sin njegov.
Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens [laid] upon him, and the rebuilding of the house of God, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
