2 Kraljevima 16
1 Godine sedamnaeste Fekaja sina Remalijina zacari se Ahaz sin Jotamov car Judin.
When Pekah had been ruling Israel for almost 17 years, Ahaz, the son of Jotham, became the king of Judah.
2 Dvadeset godina bijaše Ahazu kad poèe carovati, i carova šesnaest godina u Jerusalimu, ali ne èinjaše što je pravo pred Gospodom Bogom njegovijem kao David otac njegov.
He was 20 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. He did not do things that pleased Yahweh his God, good things like his ancestor King David had done.
3 Jer hoðaše putem careva Izrailjevijeh, pa i sina svojega pusti kroz oganj po gadnijem djelima naroda koje odagna Gospod ispred sinova Izrailjevijeh.
Instead, he was as sinful as the kings of Israel had been. He even sacrificed his son as an offering to idols. That was worse than the disgusting things that the people who previously lived there had done, people whom Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis were advancing through the land.
4 I prinošaše žrtve i kaðaše na visinama i po humovima i pod svakim zelenijem drvetom.
Ahaz offered sacrifices and burned incense [to honor Yahweh] on the tops of many hills and under many [HYP] big trees, [instead of in Jerusalem as Yahweh had commanded].
5 Tada doðe Resin car Sirski i Fekaj sin Remalijin car Izrailjev, doðoše da biju Jerusalim, i opkoliše Ahaza; ali ga ne mogoše osvojiti.
While he was the king of Judah, King Rezin of Assyria and King Pekah of Israel [came with their armies] and attacked Jerusalem. They surrounded the city, but they could not conquer it.
6 U to vrijeme Resin car Sirski povrati Sircima Elat, i izagna Judeje iz Elata, i doðoše Sirci u Elat i ostaše ondje do danas.
At that time the [army of the] king of Edom expelled the people of Judah who were living in Elath [city]. Some of the people of Edom started to live there, and they are still living there.
7 Ali Ahaz posla poslanike k Teglat-Felasaru caru Asirskom i poruèi mu: sluga sam tvoj, hodi i izbavi me iz ruku cara Sirskoga i iz ruku cara Izrailjeva, koji se podigoše na me.
King Ahaz sent messengers to King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria, to tell this message to him: “I promise that I will completely do what you tell me to do, [as though] I [was] your son. Please come and rescue us from the armies of Syria and Israel who are attacking my country.”
8 I uze Ahaz zlato i srebro što se naðe u domu Gospodnjem i u riznicama doma carskoga, i posla na dar caru Asirskom.
Ahaz took the silver and gold that was in the palace and in the temple and sent it to Assyria to be a present/gift for the king of Assyria.
9 I posluša ga car Asirski, i doðe na Damasak i uze ga, i preseli narod odande u Kir, a Resina pogubi.
So Tiglath-Pileser did what Ahaz requested. His army marched to Damascus and captured it, and they took the people of Damascus as prisoners to live in the capital city of Assyria, and executed [King] Rezin.
10 Tada car Ahaz otide na susret Teglat-Felasaru caru Asirskom u Damasak; i vidje car Ahaz oltar koji bijaše u Damasku, pa posla svešteniku Uriji sliku od toga oltara i od sve naprave njegove.
When King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet King Tiglath-Pileser, he saw the altar that was there. So he sent to Uriah, the Supreme Priest [in Jerusalem], a drawing of the altar and a model that was exactly like the altar in Damascus.
11 I naèini sveštenik Urija oltar sasvijem kako posla car Ahaz iz Damaska, onako naèini Urija sveštenik, dokle se vrati car Ahaz iz Damaska.
So Uriah built an altar [in Jerusalem], following the drawing that King Ahaz had sent. Uriah finished the altar before Ahaz returned [to Jerusalem] from Damascus.
12 Pa kad se car vrati iz Damaska i vidje oltar, pristupi k njemu i prinese žrtvu na njemu.
When the king returned from Damascus, he saw the altar. He went to it
13 I zapali žrtvu svoju paljenicu i dar svoj, i izli naljev svoj, i pokropi oltar krvlju zahvalnijeh žrtava svojih.
and burned animal sacrifices and a grain offering on it. He also poured a wine offering on it and threw on it the blood of the offerings to maintain fellowship with God.
14 A mjedeni oltar što bješe pred Gospodom prenese s prednje strane doma da ne stoji izmeðu njegova oltara i doma Gospodnjega, i namjesti ga pokraj svoga oltara k sjeveru.
The old bronze altar which had been dedicated long ago to Yahweh was between the new altar and the temple, so Ahaz moved it to the north side of his new altar, [which was bigger than the old altar].
15 I zapovjedi car Ahaz Uriji svešteniku govoreæi: na velikom oltaru pali žrtvu paljenicu jutrenju i dar veèernji i žrtvu paljenicu carevu s darom njezinijem i žrtvu paljenicu svega naroda zemaljskoga s darovima njihovijem i naljevima njihovijem; i po njemu kropi svakom krvlju od žrtava paljenica i svakom krvlju od drugih žrtava. A za oltar mjedeni promisliæu.
Then King Ahaz ordered Uriah: “Each morning put on this new altar the sacrifices that will be completely burned, and in the evening put on it the grain offering, along with my offering and the offerings that the people bring, ones that will be completely burned, and my grain offering and the people’s grain and wine offerings. Pour against the sides of the altar the blood of all the animals that are sacrificed. But the old bronze altar will be only for me to use to find out what Yahweh wants me to do.”
16 I uèini sveštenik Urija sve kako mu zapovjedi car Ahaz.
So Uriah did what the king commanded him to do.
17 I oplate s podnožja skide car Ahaz i uze s njih umivaonice, i more skide s volova mjedenijeh koji bijahu pod njim, i metnu ga na pod kameni.
King Ahaz told his workers to take off the frames of the carts [that were outside the temple] and to take down the basins that were on them. They also took down the bronze tank from the backs of the bronze [statues of the] oxen and put it on a stone foundation.
18 I strehu subotnu, koju bijahu naèinili u domu, i ulazak carski, koji bijaše spolja, ukloni takoðer od doma Gospodnjega, bojeæi se cara Asirskoga.
Then to please the king of Assyria, Ahaz had them remove from the temple the roof under which the people walked into the temple on the Sabbath Day, and closed up the private entrance into the temple for the kings of Judah.
19 A ostala djela Ahazova što je èinio, nijesu li zapisana u dnevniku careva Judinijeh?
[If you want to know about] the other things that Ahaz did, they are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
20 I poèinu Ahaz kod otaca svojih, i bi pogreben kod otaca svojih u gradu Davidovu; a na njegovo se mjesto zacari Jezekija sin njegov.
Ahaz died [EUP], and he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried. Then his son Hezekiah became the king.
