2 Kralji 13
1 V triindvajsetem letu Joáša, Ahazjájevega sina, Judovega kralja, je nad Izraelom, v Samariji, začel kraljevati Jehújev sin Joaház in kraljeval je sedemnajst let.
After Joash had been ruling Judah for almost 23 years, Jehu’s son Jehoahaz became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for 17 years.
2 Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh in sledil grehom Nebátovega sina Jerobeáma, ki je Izraela pripravil, da greši; od tega se ni odvrnil.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil and committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the people of Israel to sin. He did not stop committing those sins.
3 Gospodova jeza je bila vžgana zoper Izrael in vse njihove dni jih je izročil v roko sirskega kralja Hazaéla in v roko Hazaélovega sina Ben Hadáda.
So Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people, and he allowed the army of King Hazael of Syria and his son Ben-Hadad to defeat the Israelis many times.
4 Joaház je iskal Gospoda in Gospod mu je prisluhnil, kajti videl je zatiranje Izraela, ker jih je zatiral sirski kralj.
Then Jehoahaz prayed to Yahweh [for help], and Yahweh heeded him, because he saw that the army of the king of Syria was oppressing the Israelis.
5 (In Gospod je dal Izraelu rešitelja, tako da so odšli izpod roke Sircev in Izraelovi otroci so prebivali v svojih šotorih kakor poprej.
Yahweh sent a leader to Israel, who enabled them to be freed from being controlled by Syria. After that, the Israeli people lived peacefully as they had done previously.
6 Vendar se niso odvrnili od grehov Jerobeámove hiše, ki je Izraela primoral grešiti, temveč so hodili v njih in ašere so ostale tudi v Samariji.
But they still continued to commit the same kind of sins that Jeroboam and his family had committed and which led the Israelis to [also] sin. And the statue of the goddess Asherah remained in Samaria.
7 Niti ni pustil od ljudstva Joaházu [nikogar] razen petdesetih konjenikov, desetih bojnih voz in deset tisoč pešcev, kajti sirski kralj jih je uničil in jih z mlatenjem naredil podobne prahu.
Jehoahaz had only 50 men who rode on horses and ten chariots and 10,000 other soldiers, because the army of Syria had killed all the rest, trampling them like people walk on dirt.
8 Torej preostala izmed Joaházovih dejanj in vse, kar je storil in njegova moč, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Izraelovih kraljev?
[If you want to read about] [RHQ] everything else that Jehoahaz did, you can read about it in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
9 Joaház je zaspal s svojimi očeti in pokopali so ga v Samariji in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Jehoáš.
Jehoahaz died [EUP] and was buried in Samaria. Then his son Jehoash became the king.
10 V sedemintridesetem letu Judovega kralja Joáša je nad Izraelom v Samariji začel kraljevati Joaházov sin Jehoáš in kraljeval je šestnajst let.
Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, started to rule in Israel after King Joash had been ruling in Judah for 23 years. Jehoash ruled in Samaria for 17 years.
11 Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh. Ni se oddvojil od vseh grehov Nebátovega sina Jerobeáma, ki je Izraela pripravil, da greši, temveč je hodil v njih.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He refused to turn away from worshiping idols, which was the sin that [many years earlier King] Jeroboam had told the Israeli people to commit.
12 Ostala Jehoáševa dela in vse, kar je storil in njegova moč, s katero se je boril zoper Judovega kralja Amacjája, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Izraelovih kraljev?
The other things that happened while Jehoash was king and all the things that he did are written in the book called ‘The Account of What the Kings of Israel Did’. In that account they wrote about Jehoash’s [army’s] victories, and their war with [the army of] King Amaziah of Judah.
13 Jehoáš je zaspal s svojimi očeti in Jerobeám je sédel na njegov prestol in Jehoáš je bil z Izraelovimi kralji pokopan v Samariji.
When Jehoash died, he was buried in Samaria where the [other] kings of Israel were buried. Then his son Jeroboam became king.
14 Torej Elizej je postal bolan od svoje bolezni, od katere je [tudi] umrl. Izraelov kralj Jehoáš je prišel dol k njemu, jokal nad njegovim obrazom in rekel: »Oh moj oče, moj oče, Izraelov bojni voz in njegovi konjeniki.«
Elisha became very ill. Just before he died, King Jehoash went to Elisha and cried in front of him. [Saying the same words that Elisha had said when Elijah was taken to heaven], he said, “My father/master! My father/master! The chariots of us Israeli people and their drivers [are taking my master away]!”
15 Elizej mu je rekel: »Vzemi lok in puščice.« In vzel si je lok in puščice.
Elisha said to him, “Bring to me a bow and some arrows!” So the king did that.
16 Izraelovemu kralju je rekel: »Svojo roko položi na lok.« Svojo roko je položil nanj in Elizej je svoje roke položil na kraljeve roke.
Then Elisha told the king to put his hands on the bow [and prepare to shoot some arrows]. And then Elisha put his own hands on the king’s hands.
17 Rekel je: »Odpri okno proti vzhodu.« Odprl ga je. Potem je Elizej rekel: »Streljaj.« In je izstrelil. Rekel je: »Puščica Gospodove osvoboditve in puščica osvoboditve od Sirije, kajti Sirce boš udaril v Aféku, dokler jih ne boš použil.«
Then Elisha told him, “[Have someone] open that window toward the east.” So they opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” So the king did. Then Elisha said, “That is the arrow that [indicates that your army] will defeat the Syrian army. Your army will completely defeat their [army] at Aphek [town].”
18 Rekel je: »Vzemi puščice.« Vzel jih je. Izraelovemu kralju je rekel: »Udarjaj ob tla.« Ta je trikrat udaril in obstal.
Then Elisha said, “Pick up the other arrows and strike the ground with them!” So the king picked up the arrows and struck the ground three times.
19 Božji mož je bil nad njim ogorčen in rekel: »Udariti bi moral petkrat ali šestkrat, potem bi Sirijo udarjal, dokler je ne bi použil, medtem ko boš sedaj Sirijo udaril samo trikrat.«
But Elisha was angry with him. He exclaimed, “You should have struck the ground five or six times! If you had done that, your army would have defeated the Syrian [army] until they were completely wiped out! But now, [because you struck the ground only three times, ] your army will defeat them only three times!”
20 Elizej je umrl in so ga pokopali. In v začetku leta so v deželo vdrle čete Moábcev.
Then Elisha died and was buried. Groups of raiders from Moab came to Israel each year during (spring/the time when the cold season was ending).
21 Pripetilo se je, ko so [nekega] moža pokopavali, glej, da so zagledali četo mož in moža odvrgli v Elizejev mavzolej. Ko je bil mož spuščen dol in se dotaknil Elizejevih kosti, je oživel in stopil na svoja stopala.
One year, when some Israeli people were burying a man’s body, they saw a group of those raiders. [They were afraid, ] so quickly they threw that man’s body into the tomb where Elisha [had been buried, and they ran away]. But as soon as the man’s body touched Elisha’s bones, the dead man became alive again and jumped up!
22 Toda sirski kralj Hazaél je vse Joaházove dni zatiral Izraela.
King Hazael of Syria [sent soldiers to] oppress the Israeli people all during the years that Jehoahaz [ruled Judah].
23 Gospod pa jim je bil milostljiv in imel sočutje do njih in spoštovanje do njih zaradi svoje zaveze z Abrahamom, Izakom in Jakobom in jih ni želel uničiti niti jih še ni vrgel izpred svoje prisotnosti.
But Yahweh was very kind [DOU] to the Israeli people. He helped them because of the agreement that he had made with [their ancestors] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He did not get rid of the Israelis, and he still has not rejected them.
24 Tako je sirski kralj Hazaél umrl in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Ben Hadád.
When Hazael the king of Syria died, his son Ben-Hadad became the king.
25 Joaházov sin Jehoáš je mesta ponovno vzel iz rok Hazaélovega sina Ben Hadáda, ki jih je ta z vojno vzel iz roke njegovega očeta Joaháza. Jehoáš ga je trikrat premagal in povrnil Izraelova mesta.
[The army of] King Jehoash of Israel defeated [the army of] King Ben-Hadad three times, and recaptured the cities that Ben-Hadad’s army had captured during the time that Jehoash’s father Jehoahaz was ruling Israel.
