2 Dnevnika 28
1 Dvadeset godina bijaše Ahazu kad poèe carovati, i carova šesnaest godina u Jerusalimu; ali ne èinjaše što je pravo pred Gospodom kao David otac njegov.
Ahaz was 20 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His ancestor King David was a good king, but Ahaz was not like David. He constantly disobeyed Yahweh
2 Jer hoðaše putovima careva Izrailjevijeh, i još sali likove Valima.
and was as sinful as the kings of Israel had been. He made idols of the god Baal.
3 I sam kaðaše u dolini sina Enomova, i sažizaše sinove svoje ognjem po gadnijem djelima onijeh naroda koje odagna Gospod ispred sinova Izrailjevijeh.
He burned incense in Hinnom Valley. He even [killed some of] his own sons [and] offered [them] as sacrifices to be completely burned. That imitated the disgusting customs of the people-groups who previously lived there, people whom Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis advanced through the land.
4 I prinošaše žrtve i kaðaše na visinama i po brdima i pod svakim zelenijem drvetom.
Ahaz offered sacrifices [to idols] at shrines on hilltops and under every big green tree.
5 Zato ga dade Gospod Bog njegov u ruke caru Sirskomu, te ga razbiše i zarobiše mu veliko mnoštvo, i odvedoše ih u Damasak. Još bi dat u ruke i caru Izrailjevu, te ga razbi ljuto.
Therefore Yahweh his God allowed his army to be defeated by the army of the king of Syria. They captured many soldiers of Judah and took them as prisoners to Damascus. The army of the king of Israel also defeated the army of Judah and killed very many of their soldiers.
6 Jer Fekaj sin Remalijin pobi sto i dvadeset tisuæa Judejaca u jedan dan, sve hrabrijeh ljudi, jer ostaviše Gospoda Boga otaca svojih.
In one day the army of Remaliah’s son, King Pekah [of Israel], killed 120,000 soldiers in Judah. That happened because [the people of] Judah had abandoned Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
7 I Zihrije junak od Jefrema ubi Masiju sina careva i Azrikama upravitelja dvorskoga i Elkanu drugoga do cara.
Zicri, a warrior from the tribe of Ephraim, killed king Ahaz’s son Maaseiah, Azrikam the officer in charge of the palace, and Elkanah, the king’s assistant.
8 I zarobiše sinovi Izrailjevi braæi svojoj dvjesta tisuæa žena i sinova i kæeri; i zaplijeniše velik plijen od njih, i odnesoše plijen u Samariju.
The soldiers of Israel captured 200,000 of the people of Judah, including many wives and sons and daughters [of the soldiers of Judah]. They also seized and took back to Samaria many valuable things.
9 A ondje bijaše prorok Gospodnji po imenu Odid, i izide pred vojsku koja iðaše u Samariju, i reèe im: gle, Gospod Bog otaca vaših razgnjevi se na Judejce, zato ih dade u vaše ruke, te ih pobiste ljuto da do neba doprije.
But a prophet of Yahweh whose name was Obed was there [in Samaria]. He went out of the city to meet the army when it returned to Samaria. He said to them, “Because Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [belonged to], was angry with [the people of] Judah, he allowed you to defeat them. But God has seen the cruel way that you slaughtered them.
10 I još mislite podvræi sinove Judine i Jerusalimske da vam budu robovi i robinje; a nijeste li i vi sami skrivili Gospodu Bogu svojemu?
And now you want to [sin by] causing men and women from Judah to become your slaves, but you have certainly also sinned against Yahweh our God!
11 Zato poslušajte me sada, i vratite natrag to roblje što zarobiste braæi svojoj, jer se raspalio gnjev Gospodnji na vas.
So listen to me! Send back [to Judah] your fellow-countrymen whom you have captured, because Yahweh is extremely angry with you [for what you did to them].”
12 Tada ustaše poglavari sinova Jefremovijeh: Azarija sin Joananov, Varahija sin Mesilemotov i Jezekija sin Salumov i Amasa sin Adlajev na one što se vraæahu s vojske,
Then some of the leaders of [the tribe of] Ephraim—Azariah the son of Jehohanan, Berekiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai—rebuked those who were returning from the battle.
13 I rekoše im: neæete dovesti ovamo toga roblja, jer bi nam bilo na grijeh pred Gospodom što vi mislite domeæuæi na grijehe naše i na krivice naše, jer je velika krivica na nama i gnjev se raspalio na Izrailja.
They said to them, “You must not bring those prisoners here! If you do that, Yahweh will consider that we are guilty of sinning. We are already guilty of committing many sins; do you want to cause us to be even more guilty by committing another sin? God is already very angry with [us people of] Israel!”
14 I ostaviše vojnici roblje i plijen svoj pred knezovima i svijem zborom.
So, while their leaders and others were watching, the soldiers released the prisoners, and also gave back to them the valuable things that they had captured.
15 I ustaše ljudi imenovani i uzeše roblje, i sve gole izmeðu njih odješe iz plijena; a kad ih odješe i obuše, nahraniše ih i napojiše i namazaše, i odvedoše na magarcima sve iznemogle, i dovedoše ih u Jerihon grad gdje ima mnogo palama, k braæi njihovoj, pa se vratiše u Samariju.
The leaders who were selected took some of the clothes that the soldiers had taken from the prisoners and gave those clothes back to the people who were naked. They also gave to the prisoners sandals and other clothes and things to eat and drink, and they gave them olive oil to rub on their wounds. They gave donkeys to those who were very weak, in order that they could ride on them. Then they led them all to Jericho, the city that had many palm trees. Then those leaders [of Israel] returned to Samaria.
16 U to vrijeme posla car Ahaz k carevima Asirskim da mu pomogu.
About that time, King Ahaz sent [a message] to the king of Assyria requesting help.
17 Jer još i Idumejci doðoše i razbiše Judu i odvedoše roblje;
[He did that because the army from] the Edom people-group had come again and attacked Judah and taken away many of the people of Judah as prisoners.
18 I Filisteji udariše na gradove po ravni i na južnom kraju Judinu, i uzeše Vet-Semes, i Ejalon i Gedirot i Sohot i sela njegova i Tamnu i sela njezina i Gimzon i sela njegova, i naseliše se u njima.
At the same time, men from Philistia had raided/attacked towns in the foothills and in the southern desert of Judah. They had captured Beth-Shemesh, Aijalon, and Gederoth [cities], as well as Soco, Timnah and Gimzo [towns] and the nearby villages.
19 Jer Gospod obaraše Judu s Ahaza cara Izrailjeva, jer odvuèe Judu da grdno griješi Gospodu.
Yahweh [allowed those things to happen in order to] humble king Ahaz, because he had encouraged the people of Judah to do wicked things and had disobeyed Yahweh very much.
20 I doðe k njemu Telgat-Felnasar car Asirski, i ojadi ga a ne utvrdi.
Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, sent [his army saying that they would] help Ahaz, but instead of helping him, they caused him to experience trouble.
21 Jer Ahaz uze dio iz doma Gospodnjega i iz doma carskoga i od knezova, i dade caru Asirskom, ali mu ne pomože.
Ahaz’s [soldiers] took some of the [valuable] things from the temple and from the king’s palace and from other leaders of Judah and sent them to the king of Assyria [to pay him to help them], but the king of Assyria refused to help Ahaz.
22 I kad bijaše u nevolji, on još veæma griješaše Gospodu; taki bijaše car Ahaz.
While King Ahaz was experiencing those troubles, he disobeyed Yahweh even more.
23 I prinošaše žrtve bogovima Damaštanskim, koji ga razbiše, i govoraše: kad bogovi careva Sirskih njima pomažu, prinosiæu njima žrtve da bi mi pomagali; ali mu oni biše na to da padne on i sav Izrailj.
He offered sacrifices to the gods that were worshiped in Damascus, whose [army] had defeated his [army]. He thought, “The gods that are worshiped by the kings of Syria have helped them, so I will offer sacrifices to those gods in order that they will help me.” But worshiping those gods caused Ahaz and all of Israel to be ruined.
24 A Ahaz pokupi sudove doma Božijega, i izlomi sudove doma Božijega, i zatvori vrata doma Gospodnjega i naèini sebi oltare po svijem uglovima u Jerusalimu.
Ahaz gathered all the furnishings [that were used] in the temple and broke them into pieces. He locked the doors of the temple and set up altars [for worshiping idols] at every street corner in Jerusalem.
25 I u svakom gradu Judinu naèini visine da kadi bogovima tuðim; i gnjevi Gospoda Boga otaca svojih.
In every town in Judah, his workers built shrines to burn sacrifices to other gods, and that caused Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], to be very angry.
26 A ostala djela njegova i svi putovi njegovi prvi i pošljednji, eto zapisani su u knjizi o carevima Judinijem i Izrailjevijem.
A record of the other things that Ahaz did while he was the king, from when he started to rule until he died, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel’.
27 I poèinu Ahaz kod otaca svojih i pogreboše ga u gradu Jerusalimu; ali ga ne metnuše u grob careva Izrailjevijeh. I zacari se na njegovo mjesto Jezekija sin njegov.
Ahaz died and was buried in Jerusalem, but he was not buried in the tombs where the other kings [had been buried]. Then his son Hezekiah became the king.
