2 Kroniška 24
1 Joáš je bil star sedem let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval štirideset let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Cibja iz Beeršébe.
Joash was seven years old when he began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
2 Joáš je delal to, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh, vse dni duhovnika Jojadája.
And Joash did what was right in the sight of Jehovah all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 Jojadá je zanj vzel dve ženi in zaplodil je sinove in hčere.
And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begot sons and daughters.
4 Za tem se je pripetilo, da je imel Joáš na srcu, da popravi Gospodovo hišo.
And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to renew the house of Jehovah.
5 Skupaj je zbral duhovnike in Lévijevce ter jim rekel: »Pojdite ven v Judova mesta in od vsega Izraela zbirajte denar za popravilo hiše svojega Boga iz leta v leto in glejte, da pohitrite zadevo. Vendar Lévijevci niso pohiteli.
And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out to the cities of Judah and collect of all Israel money for the repair of the house of your God from year to year, and ye shall hasten the matter. But the Levites hastened it not.
6 Kralj je dal poklicati vodja Jojadája ter mu rekel: »Zakaj nisi od Lévijevcev zahteval, da iz Juda in Jeruzalema prinašajo nabirko, glede na zapoved Mojzesa, Gospodovega služabnika in iz Izraelove skupnosti za šotorsko svetišče pričevanja?
And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tribute of Moses the servant of Jehovah [laid upon] the congregation of Israel, for the tent of the testimony?
7 Kajti sinovi te zlobne ženske Atalje so razbili Božjo hišo in tudi vse posvečene stvari Gospodove hiše so podelili Báalom.
For the wicked Athaliah [and] her sons had devastated the house of God; and also all the hallowed things of the house of Jehovah had they employed for the Baals.
8 Na kraljevo zapoved so naredili zaboj in ga postavili zunaj pri velikih vratih Gospodove hiše.
And the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it at the gate of the house of Jehovah without,
9 Naredili so razglas po vsem Judu in Jeruzalemu, naj prinašajo Gospodu nabirko, ki jo je Božji služabnik Mojzes naložil Izraelu v divjini.
and they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring to Jehovah the tribute of Moses the servant of God [laid upon] Israel in the wilderness.
10 Vsi princi in vse ljudstvo se je veselilo, prinašalo in metalo v zaboj, dokler niso končali.
And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in and cast into the chest, until they had finished.
11 Torej pripetilo se je, da kadar je bil zaboj po roki Lévijevcev prinesen v kraljevo pisarno in ko so videli, da je bilo v njem veliko denarja, sta prišla kraljevi pisar in častnik vélikega duhovnika ter izpraznila zaboj in ga vzela ter ga ponovno odnesla na njegov kraj. Tako so delali dan za dnem in zbrali denarja v obilju.
And it came to pass at the time the chest was brought for the king's control by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and high priest's officer came, and they 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 Kralj in Jojadá sta ga dajala tistim, ki so opravljali delo službe Gospodove hiše ter najemala zidarje in tesarje, da obnovijo Gospodovo hišo in tudi tiste, ki so kovali železo in bron, da popravijo Gospodovo hišo.
And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and they hired masons and carpenters to renew the house of Jehovah, and also such as wrought in iron and bronze, to repair the house of Jehovah.
13 Tako so delavci delali in delo dovršili in Božjo hišo so postavili v njeno stanje in jo utrdili.
So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in its state, and strengthened it.
14 Ko so jo končali, so preostanek denarja prinesli pred kralja in Jojadája, s čimer so bile narejene posode za Gospodovo hišo, torej posode za služenje in da z njimi darujejo ter žlice in posode iz zlata in srebra. In nenehno so darovali žgalne daritve v Gospodovi hiši, vse Jojadájeve dni.
And when they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada; and they made of it vessels for the house of Jehovah, utensils to minister, and with which to offer up, and cups, and utensils of gold and silver. And they offered up burnt-offerings in the house of Jehovah continually all the days of Jehoiada.
15 Toda Jojadá se je postaral in ko je umrl, je bil izpolnjen z dnevi in ko je umrl, je bil star sto trideset let.
And Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died; he was a hundred and thirty years old when he died.
16 Pokopali so ga med kralji v Davidovem mestu, ker je delal dobro v Izraelu, tako za Boga kot za svojo hišo.
And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God and toward his house.
17 Torej po smrti Jojadája so prišli Judovi princi in se globoko priklonili kralju. Potem jim je kralj prisluhnil.
And after the death of Jehoiada the princes of Judah came and made obeisance to the king; then the king hearkened to them.
18 Zapustili so hišo Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov in služili ašeram in malikom in zaradi tega njihovega prekrška je prišel bes nad Juda in Jeruzalem.
And they forsook the house of Jehovah the God of their fathers, and served the Asherahs and idols; and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
19 Vendar jim je pošiljal preroke, da jih ponovno privedejo h Gospodu in ti so pričevali zoper njih, toda oni jim niso hoteli prisluhnili.
And he sent prophets among them to bring them again to Jehovah, and they testified against them; but they would not give ear.
20 In Božji Duh je prišel nad Zeharjá, sina duhovnika Jojadája, ki je stal nad ljudstvom ter jim rekel: »Tako govori Bog: ›Zakaj prestopate Gospodove zapovedi, da ne morete uspevati? Ker ste zapustili Gospoda, je tudi on zapustil vas.‹«
And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood up above the people and said unto them, Thus saith God: Wherefore do ye transgress the commandments of Jehovah? And ye cannot prosper; for ye have forsaken Jehovah, and he hath forsaken you.
21 Oni pa so se zarotili zoper njega in ga na kraljevo zapoved kamnali s kamni na dvoru Gospodove hiše.
And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the command of the king in the court of the house of Jehovah.
22 Tako se kralj Joáš ni spomnil prijaznosti, ki mu jo je storil njegov oče Jojadá, temveč je usmrtil njegovega sina. In ko je ta umiral, je rekel: » Gospod glej na to in to zahtevaj.«
And king Joash remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, Jehovah see and require [it]!
23 Pripetilo se je ob koncu leta, da je zoper njega prišla sirska vojska. Prišli so do Juda in Jeruzalema in izmed ljudstva uničili vse prince ljudstva in ves njihov plen poslali h kralju v Damask.
And it came to pass at the end of the year [that] the army of Syria came up against him; and they entered into Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them to the king at Damascus.
24 Kajti vojska Sircev je prišla z majhno skupino mož in Gospod je v njihovo roko izročil zelo veliko množico, ker so zapustili Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov. Tako so izvršili sodbo nad Joášem.
Truly with a small company of men came the army of the Syrians, but Jehovah delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken Jehovah the God of their fathers; and they executed judgment upon Joash.
25 Ko so odšli od njega (kajti zapustili so ga v velikih boleznih), so se njegovi lastni služabniki zarotili zoper njega zaradi krvi sinov duhovnika Jojadája in ga usmrtili na njegovi postelji in je umrl. Pokopali so ga v Davidovem mestu, toda niso ga pokopali v mavzolejih kraljev.
And when they had departed from him (for they left him in great diseases), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died; and they buried him in the city of David, but they did not bury him in the sepulchres of the kings.
26 To sta tista [dva], ki sta se zarotila zoper njega: Zabád, sin Amónke Šimáte in Jozabád, sin Moábke Šimrite.
And these are they that conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.
27 Torej glede njegovih sinov in veličine bremen, položenih nadenj in obnove Božje hiše, glej, ta so zapisana v zgodbi knjige kraljev. In namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Amacjá.
And as to his sons, and the greatness of the burdens [laid] upon him, and the building of the house of God, behold, they are written in the treatise of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
