2 Књига дневника 24
1 Беше Јоасу седам година кад се зацари, и царова четрдесет година у Јерусалиму. Матери му беше име Сивија из Вирсавеје.
Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
2 И чињаше Јоас што је право пред Господом докле год беше жив Јодај свештеник.
Joash did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 И Јодај га ожени двема женама, те роди синове и кћери.
Jehoiada took for him two wives, and he became the father of sons and daughters.
4 Потом Јоас науми да оправи дом Господњи.
After this, Joash intended to restore Yahweh’s house.
5 И сазва свештенике и Левите, па им рече: Пођите по градовима Јудиним и купите од свега Израиља новац да се оправља дом Бога вашег од године до године, и ви похитајте с тим. Али не хитеше Левити.
He gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather money to repair the house of your God from all Israel from year to year. See that you expedite this matter.” However the Levites didn’t do it right away.
6 Зато цар дозва Јодаја поглавара и рече му: Зашто не настојиш да Левити доносе из Јудеје и Јерусалима прилоге које је наредио Мојсије слуга Господњи збору Израиљевом на шатор од састанка?
The king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, “Why haven’t you required of the Levites to bring in the tax of Moses the servant of Yahweh, and of the assembly of Israel, out of Judah and out of Jerusalem, for the Tent of the Testimony?”
7 Јер безбожна Готолија и синови њени опленише дом Господњи и све ствари посвећене дому Господњем обратише на Вале.
For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up God’s house; and they also gave all the dedicated things of Yahweh’s house to the Baals.
8 И тако заповеди цар те начинише ковчег, и метнуше га на врата дома Господњег споља.
So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of Yahweh’s house.
9 И огласише по Јудеји и по Јерусалиму да доносе Господу прилог који је наредио Мојсије, слуга Божји, Израиљу у пустињи.
They made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for Yahweh the tax that Moses the servant of God laid on Israel in the wilderness.
10 И обрадоваше се кнезови и сав народ, и доносећи метаху у ковчег докле се не сврши.
All the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had filled it.
11 И кад доношаху Левити ковчег, по заповести царевој, видевши да има много новца, долажаше писар царев и посланик поглавара свештеничког, те изручиваху ковчег, потом га опет одношаху и остављаху на његово место; и тако чињаху сваки дан, и накупише много новца.
Whenever the chest was brought to the king’s officers 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 И даваше га цар Јодај настојницима над послом око дома Господњег, а они наимаху каменаре и дрводеље да се обнови дом Господњи, и коваче који раде од гвожђа и од бронзе, да се оправи дом Господњи.
The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of Yahweh’s house. They hired masons and carpenters to restore Yahweh’s house, and also those who worked iron and bronze to repair Yahweh’s house.
13 И пословаху посленици, и оправљање напредоваше под њиховим рукама, те повратише дому Божјем обличје његово, и утврдише га.
So the workmen worked, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands. They set up God’s house as it was designed, and strengthened it.
14 А кад свршише, донесоше пред цара и Јодаја новце што претекоше; и од тог новца начини судове за дом Господњи, судове за службу и за жртве, и кадионице, и друге судове златне и сребрне. И тако приношаху жртве паљенице у дому Господњем једнако свега века Јодајевог.
When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, from which were made vessels for Yahweh’s house, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, including spoons and vessels of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in Yahweh’s house continually all the days of Jehoiada.
15 Потом остаревши Јодај сит живота умре; сто и тридесет година беше му кад умре.
But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died. He was one hundred thirty years old when he died.
16 И погребоше га у граду Давидовом код царева; јер чињаше добро Израиљу и Богу и дому његовом.
They buried him in David’s city among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.
17 А кад умре Јодај, дођоше кнезови Јудини и поклонише се цару; тада их послуша цар,
Now after the death of Jehoiada, the princes of Judah came and bowed down to the king. Then the king listened to them.
18 Те оставише дом Господа Бога отаца својих, и стадоше служити луговима и идолима; и подиже се гнев Господњи на Јуду и на Јерусалим за тај грех њихов.
They abandoned the house of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and the idols, so wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.
19 И слаше им пророке да их врате ка Господу, и они им сведочаху, али их не послушаше.
Yet he sent prophets to them to bring them again to Yahweh, and they testified against them; but they would not listen.
20 И дође дух Господњи на Захарију, сина Јодаја свештеника, те стаде више народа и рече им: Овако вели Бог: Зашто преступате заповести Господње? Нећете бити срећни; што остависте Господа, зато и Он вас остави.
The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them, “God says, ‘Why do you disobey Yahweh’s commandments, so that you can’t prosper? Because you have forsaken Yahweh, he has also forsaken you.’”
21 А они се побунише на њ, и засуше га камењем по заповести царевој у трему дома Господњег.
They conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of Yahweh’s house.
22 И не опомену се Јоас милости коју му учини Јодај, отац његов, него уби сина његовог; а он умирући рече: Господ нека види и тражи.
Thus Joash the king didn’t remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. When he died, he said, “May Yahweh look at it, and repay it.”
23 А кад прође година, подиже се на њ војска сирска и уђе у земљу јудејску и у Јерусалим, и побише по народу све кнезове народне, и сав плен од њих послаше цару у Дамаск.
At the end of the year, the army of the Syrians came up against him. They came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all their plunder to the king of Damascus.
24 Ако и мала беше војска сирска која дође, ипак Господ даде у руке њихове врло велику војску, јер беху оставили Господа Бога отаца својих. И тако на Јоасу извршише суд.
For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; and Yahweh delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment on Joash.
25 А кад отидоше од њега оставивши га у тешкој болести, побунише се на њ слуге његове за крв синова Јодаја свештеника, и убише га на постељи његовој, те погибе; и погребоше га у граду Давидовом, али га не погребоше у гробовима царским.
When they had departed from him (for they left him seriously wounded), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died. They buried him in David’s city, but they didn’t bury him in the tombs of the kings.
26 А ово су што се побунише на њ: Завад, син Симеате Амонке и Јозавад, син Симрите Моавке.
These are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
27 А о синовима његовим и о великом порезу што би под њим, и о грађењу дома Божјег, ето записано је у књизи о царевима. А зацари се на његово место Амасија, син његов.
Now concerning his sons, the greatness of the burdens laid on him, and the rebuilding of God’s house, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
