2 Kroniška 28
1 Aház je bil star dvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval šestnajst let, toda ni delal tega, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh, kakor njegov oče David.
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He didn’t do that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, like David his father,
2 Kajti hodil je po poteh Izraelovih kraljev in prav tako je naredil ulite podobe za Báale.
but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and also made molten images for the Baals.
3 Poleg tega je zažigal kadilo v dolini Hinómovega sina in svoje otroke sežigal v ognju, po ogabnostih poganov, ki jih je Gospod pregnal pred Izraelovimi otroki.
Moreover he burned incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burned his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
4 Tudi daroval je in zažigal kadilo na visokih krajih, na hribih in pod vsakim zelenim drevesom.
He sacrificed and burned incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 Zato ga je Gospod, njegov Bog, izročil v roko sirskega kralja in udarili so ga in izmed njih odvedli veliko množico ujetnikov in jih privedli v Damask. Izročen je bil tudi v roko Izraelovega kralja, ki ga je udaril z velikim pokolom.
Therefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria. They struck him, and carried away from him a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. He was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with a great slaughter.
6 Kajti Remaljájev sin Pékah jih je v Judu v enem dnevu ubil sto dvajset tisoč, ki so bili vsi hrabri možje, ker so zapustili Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov.
For Pekah the son of Remaliah killed in Judah one hundred twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men, because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers.
7 Zihrí, mogočen mož iz Efrájima, je usmrtil kraljevega sina Maasejája, voditelja hiše Azrikáma in Elkanája, ki je bil poleg kralja.
Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king’s son, Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah who was next to the king.
8 Izraelovi otroci so odvedli ujetnike izmed njihovih bratov, dvesto tisoč žensk, sinov in hčera ter od njih odvzeli tudi mnogo plena in plen prinesli v Samarijo.
The children of Israel carried away captive of their brothers two hundred thousand women, sons, and daughters, and also took away much plunder from them, and brought the plunder to Samaria.
9 Toda tam je bil Gospodov prerok, katerega ime je bilo Odéd in ta je šel ven pred vojsko, ki je prišla do Samarije ter jim rekel: »Glejte, ker je bil Gospod, Bog vaših očetov, besen na Juda, jih je izročil v vašo roko in vi ste jih umorili v besnenju, ki sega do nebes.
But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, “Behold, because the LORD, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he has delivered them into your hand, and you have slain them in a rage which has reached up to heaven.
10 In sedaj ste se namenili, da obdržite Judove in jeruzalemske otroke, podrejene sebi za sužnje in sužnjice. Toda ali niso z vami, celo z vami, grehi zoper Gospoda, vašega Boga?
Now you intend to degrade the children of Judah and Jerusalem as male and female slaves for yourselves. Aren’t there even with you trespasses of your own against the LORD your God?
11 Sedaj me torej poslušajte in ponovno osvobodite ujetnike, ki ste jih zajeli izmed svojih bratov, kajti nad vami je ogorčen Gospodov bes.
Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives that you have taken captive from your brothers, for the fierce wrath of the LORD is on you.”
12 Potem so nekateri izmed poglavarjev Efrájimovih otrok, Johanánov sin Azarjá, Mešilemótov sin Berehjá, Šalúmov sin Hizkijá in Hadlájev sin Amasá vstali zoper tiste, ki so prišli iz vojne
Then some of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Yochanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came from the war,
13 ter jim rekli: »Ujetnikov ne boste privedli sèm, kajti kakor smo že grešili zoper Gospoda, ste se vi namenili, da dodate še več k našim grehom in k našemu prestopku, kajti naš prestopek je velik in zoper Izraela je ogorčen bes.
and said to them, “You must not bring in the captives here, for you intend that which will bring on us a trespass against the LORD, to add to our sins and to our guilt; for our guilt is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.”
14 Tako so oboroženi možje pustili ujetnike in plen pred princi in pred vso skupnostjo.
So the armed men left the captives and the plunder before the princes and all the assembly.
15 Možje, ki so bili določeni po imenu, so vstali, vzeli ujetnike in s plenom oblekli vse, ki so bili med njimi nagi, jih odeli, obuli, jim dali jesti in piti ter jih mazilili in vse slabotne med njimi odvedli na oslih ter jih privedli do Jerihe, mesta palmovih dreves, do njihovih bratov. Potem so se vrnili v Samarijo.
The men who have been mentioned by name rose up and took the captives, and with the plunder clothed all who were naked among them, dressed them, gave them sandals, gave them something to eat and to drink, anointed them, carried all the feeble of them on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria.
16 Ob tistem času je kralj Aház poslal k asirskim kraljem, da mu pomagajo.
At that time King Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.
17 Kajti Edómci so ponovno prišli in udarili Juda in odvedli ujetnike.
For again the Edomites had come and struck Judah, and carried away captives.
18 Filistejci so vdrli tudi v mesta spodnje dežele in jug Juda in zavzeli Bet Šemeš, Ajalón, Gederót, Sohó in njegove vasi, Timno z njenimi vasmi, tudi Gimzó in njegove vasi in tam prebivali.
The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland and of the South of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and also Gimzo and its villages; and they lived there.
19 Kajti Gospod je ponižal Juda zaradi Izraelovega kralja Aháza, kajti ta je slekel Juda in se hudo pregrešil zoper Gospoda.
For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel, because he acted without restraint in Judah and trespassed severely against the LORD.
20 K njemu je prišel asirski kralj Tiglát Pilnéser in ga stiskal, toda ni ga okrepil.
Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came to him and gave him trouble, but didn’t strengthen him.
21 Kajti Aház je odvzel delež iz Gospodove hiše in iz kraljeve hiše in od princev in to dal asirskemu kralju, toda ta mu ni pomagal.
For Ahaz took away a portion out of the LORD’s house, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria; but it didn’t help him.
22 V času svoje stiske je še bolj grešil zoper Gospoda. To je ta kralj Aház.
In the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more against the LORD, this same King Ahaz.
23 Kajti žrtvoval je bogovom Damaska, ki so ga udarili in rekel: »Ker so jim pomagali bogovi sirskih kraljev, zato bom žrtvoval njim, da bi mi lahko pomagali.« Toda oni so bili propad njemu in vsemu Izraelu.
For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him. He said, “Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me.” But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.
24 Aház je zbral skupaj posode iz Božje hiše, razbil na koščke posode iz Božje hiše in zaprl vrata Gospodove hiše ter si naredil oltarje na vsakem jeruzalemskem vogalu.
Ahaz gathered together the vessels of God’s house, cut the vessels of God’s house in pieces, and shut up the doors of the LORD’s house; and he made himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
25 V vsakem posameznem Judovem mestu je postavil visoke kraje, da zažigajo kadilo drugim bogovom in do jeze dražijo Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov.
In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked the LORD, the God of his fathers, to anger.
26 Torej ostala njegova dela in vse njegove poti, prve in zadnje, glej, zapisane so v knjigi Judovih in Izraelovih kraljev.
Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
27 Aház je zaspal s svojimi očeti in pokopali so ga v mestu, torej v Jeruzalemu. Toda niso ga prinesli v mavzoleje Izraelovih kraljev. Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Ezekíja.
Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem, because they didn’t bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
