2 Kraljevima 11
1 A Gotolija mati Ohozijina vidjevši da joj pogibe sin usta i pobi sav rod carski.
When King Ahaziah’s mother Athaliah saw that her son had been killed, she commanded that all the members of Ahaziah’s family [who might become king] must be executed.
2 Ali Josaveja kæi cara Jorama sestra Ohozijina, uze Joasa sina Ohozijina, i ukrade ga izmeðu sinova carevijeh, koje ubijahu, i s dojkinjom njegovom sakri ga od Gotolije u ložnicu, te ne pogibe.
So Ahaziah’s sons were all about to be murdered. But Jehosheba, who was King Jehoram’s daughter and Ahaziah’s half-sister, took Ahaziah’s [very young] son Joash and hid him and (his nursemaid/the woman who took care of him) in a bedroom [in the temple]. So he was not killed.
3 I bi sakriven s njom u domu Gospodnjem šest godina, a Gotolija carovaše u zemlji.
He stayed with Jehosheba for six years. All during that time, he remained hidden in the temple, while Athaliah ruled [Judah].
4 A sedme godine posla Jodaj i dozva stotinike i vojvode i vojnike, i uvede ih k sebi u dom Gospodnji, i uhvati vjeru s njima, i zakle ih u domu Gospodnjem, i pokaza im sina careva.
But during the next year, Jehoiada the Supreme Priest summoned the officers who supervised the royal bodyguards and the palace guards. He told them to come to the temple. There he required them to solemnly promise that they would do what he told them to do. And he showed King Ahaziah’s son Joash to them.
5 I zapovjedi im govoreæi: ovo uèinite: vas treæina, koji dolazite u subotu, neka èuvaju stražu u dvoru carskom.
He gave them these instructions: “There are three groups of you guards. When one group finishes their work on the Sabbath day, [divide yourselves into] three smaller groups. One group must guard the palace.
6 A treæina neka bude na vratima Surskim, a treæina na vratima koja su iza vojnika; i èuvajte dom od sile.
Another group must guard at the Sur Gate. The other group must guard at the gate behind the other groups.
7 A dva dijela vas svijeh koji odlaze u subotu neka èuvaju stražu u domu Gospodnjem oko cara.
The two groups that are not working on the Sabbath day must guard the temple [to protect little King Joash].
8 I opkolite cara svaki sa svojim oružjem u ruci, i ko bi navalio meðu vrste neka se pogubi, i budite s carem kad stane izlaziti i ulaziti.
You must stand around the king wherever he goes, with your weapons in your hands. You must kill anyone who comes near you.”
9 I stotinici uèiniše sve kako zapovjedi Jodaj sveštenik; i uzeše svaki svoje ljude koji dolažahu u subotu s onima koji odlažahu u subotu, i doðoše k svešteniku Jodaju.
The officers [who supervised the guards] did what Jehoiada told them to do. Each one brought to Jehoiada the guards that he supervised—the guards who were just finishing their work and those who were about to start their work on the Sabbath day.
10 I sveštenik dade stotinicima koplja i štitove cara Davida, što bijahu u domu Gospodnjem.
The priest distributed to the commanders of the guards the spears and shields that had belonged to King David, that were kept/stored in the temple.
11 I vojnici stadoše svaki sa svojim oružjem u ruci od desne strane doma do lijeve strane doma prema oltaru i prema domu oko cara.
Then he commanded all the guards to stand in their positions, each one with his sword in his hand, all around the young king.
12 Tada izvede sina careva, i metnu mu vijenac na glavu, i dade mu svjedoèanstvo, i postaviše ga carem, i pomazaše ga, i pljeskajuæi rukama govorahu: da živi car!
Then he brought Joash out. He put the crown on his head and gave him a scroll on which were written the rules [that the kings needed to obey]. Then he poured some olive oil on Joash’s head and proclaimed that he was now the king. The people all clapped their hands and shouted, “We desire/hope that the king will live for many years!”
13 A kad Gotolija èu viku naroda, koji se stjecaše, doðe k narodu u dom Gospodnji;
When Athaliah heard the noise that was being made by the guards and the other people, she ran to the temple, where the people were gathered.
14 I pogleda, i gle, car stajaše kod stupa po obièaju, i knezovi i trube oko cara, i sav narod iz zemlje radovaše se, i trube trubljahu. Tada Gotolija razdrije haljine svoje i povika: buna! buna!
She saw the new king standing there alongside one of the big pillars, which was the place at the temple where the kings usually stood. She saw that he was surrounded by the temple officers and men blowing trumpets, and that the people were shouting joyfully, and [some of] them were also blowing trumpets. She tore her clothes [to show her distress] and shouted, “You are traitors! You have tricked/deceived me!”
15 A sveštenik Jodaj zapovjedi stotinicima koji bijahu nad vojskom, i reèe im: izvedite je iz vrsta napolje, i ko poðe za njom pogubite ga maèem; jer reèe sveštenik: da ne pogine u domu Gospodnjem.
Jehoiada [immediately] said, “Kill her, but do not kill her here at the temple of Yahweh! Take her away between two rows of guards. And kill anyone who tries to rescue her!”
16 I naèiniše joj mjesto; i kad doðe na put kojim se ide u dom carski konjskim vratima, ondje je ubiše.
[She tried to flee, but] the guards seized her and took her to the palace, to the place where horses enter the courtyard. They killed her there.
17 Tada Jodaj uèini zavjet izmeðu Gospoda i cara i naroda da æe biti narod Gospodnji, takoðer i izmeðu cara i naroda.
Then Jehoiada made a solemn agreement between the king and the people, that they would always (obey/be faithful to) Yahweh. He also made an agreement requiring the people to be loyal to Joash their king.
18 Potom sav narod zemaljski otide u dom Valov, i raskopaše dom i oltar, i izlomiše likove njegove sasvijem; a Matana sveštenika Valova ubiše pred oltarima. A sveštenik opet uredi službu u domu Gospodnjem.
Then all the people of Israel who were there went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and the statues of Baal. They also killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of the altars. Jehoiada stationed/put guards at the temple of Yahweh.
19 I uze stotinike i vojvode i vojnike i sav narod zemaljski, i izvedoše cara iz doma Gospodnjega, i uðoše u dom carski putem na vrata vojnièka. I sjede na carski prijesto.
Then he and the officers of the temple, the officers who supervised the royal bodyguards, and the king’s bodyguards brought the king from the temple to the palace. All the people [followed them]. Joash entered the palace at the Guard Gate and sat down on the throne, [which showed that he was the new king].
20 I radovaše se sav narod zemaljski, i grad se umiri pošto Gotoliju ubiše maèem kod carskoga doma.
All the people of Judah rejoiced. And because Athaliah had been killed, the city was quiet/calm.
21 Joasu bješe sedam godina kad se zacari.
Joash was seven years old when he became the king [of Judah].
