2 Dnevnika 24
1 Bijaše Joasu sedam godina kad se zacari, i carova èetrdeset godina u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Sivija iz Virsaveje.
Seven years old, was Joash when he began to reign, and, forty years, reigned he, in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
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 Yahweh, -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 it was near the heart of Joash to renew the house of Yahweh.
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.
So he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said unto them—Go ye out unto the cities of Judah, and gather out of all Israel silver to repair the house of your God, year by year, and, ye, shall hasten the matter, —but 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?
Then the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Wherefore hast thou not required of the Levites, to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tribute of Moses the servant of Yahweh, and of the convocation of Israel, —for the tent of testimony?
7 Jer bezbožna Gotolija i sinovi njezini oplijeniše dom Gospodnji i sve stvari posveæene domu Gospodnjemu obratiše na Vale.
For, as for Athaliah the Lawless, her sons, brake up the House of God, —moreover, all the hallowed things of the house of Yahweh, offered they unto the Baalim.
8 I tako zapovjedi car te naèiniše kovèeg, i metnuše ga na vrata doma Gospodnjega spolja.
So the king bade [them], and they made a certain chest, —and set it in the gate of the house of Yahweh, outside.
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, throughout Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in unto Yahweh the tribute of Moses the servant of God, laid upon Israel in the desert.
10 I obradovaše se knezovi i sav narod, i donoseæi metahu u kovèeg dokle se ne svrši.
And all the rulers and all the people rejoiced, —and brought in and cast into the chest, until they had finished.
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 came to pass, what time the chest was brought into the office of the king by the hand of the Levites, and when they had seen that abundant was the silver, that the scribe of the king came in, and the officer of the chief priest, and they emptied the chest, and bare it, and put it back in its place, —thus, they did, day by day, and collected silver, 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 unto such as were doing the work of labouring upon the house of Yahweh, and they were hiring masons and carpenters, to renew the house of Yahweh, —moreover also, such as were fashioners of iron and bronze, to repair the house of Yahweh.
13 I poslovahu poslenici, i opravljanje napredovaše pod njihovijem rukama, te povratiše domu Božijemu oblièje njegovo, i utvrdiše ga.
So the doers of the work wrought, and the work of restoration went forward, in their hand, —and they caused the house of God to stand forth according to its due proportions, and made it strong.
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 finished, they brought in before the king and Jehoiada the rest of the silver, and he made it into utensils for the house of Yahweh, utensils of attendance, and bowls and spoons, even utensils of gold and silver. Then were they offering ascending-sacrifices in the house of Yahweh, 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 became satisfied with days, and died, —a hundred and thirty years old, 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, with the kings, —because he had done good in Israel, both 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 rulers of Judah, and bowed themselves down unto the king, —then, hearkened the king 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 Yahweh, God of their fathers, and served the Sacred Stems, and the images, —so there was wrath against Judah and Jerusalem, for this their guilt.
19 I slaše im proroke da ih vrate ka Gospodu, i oni im svedoèahu, ali ih ne poslušaše.
And he sent among them prophets, to bring them back unto Yahweh, —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, clothed Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, and he took his stand above the people, —and said unto them, Thus, saith God, Wherefore are, ye, transgressing the commandments of Yahweh, so that ye cannot prosper, because ye have forsaken Yahweh, therefore hath he forsaken you.
21 A oni se pobuniše na nj, i zasuše ga kamenjem po zapovijesti carevoj u trijemu doma Gospodnjega.
So they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones, by the commandment of the king, —in the court of the house of Yahweh.
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 lovingkindness which Jehoiada his father had done for him, but slew his son, —and, as he died, he said, Yahweh see and require!
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, when the year had gone round, that the force of Syria came up against him, and they entered Judah, and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the rulers of the people, from among the people, —and, all the spoil of them, sent they 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.
Although, with a comparatively few men, came the force of Syria, yet, Yahweh, delivered into their hand an exceeding large force, —because they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their fathers, —and, upon Joash, executed they judgments.
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 had departed from him, for they left him with sore diseases, his own servants conspired against him, for the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him upon his bed, and he died, —and, though they buried him in the city of David, yet did they not bury him in the sepulchres of the kings.
26 A ovo su što se pobuniše na nj: Zavad sin Simeate Amonke i Jozavad sin Simrite Moavke.
Now, these, are they that conspired against him, —Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad 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.
But, as for his sons, and the greatness of the oracle on him, and the foundation of the house of God, lo! there they are written, in the commentary of the Book of Kings, —and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
