2 Chronicles 28

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not please the LORD as his forefather David had done,	1 Ahazu je bilo dvadeset godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je šesnaest godina u Jeruzalemu, ali nije činio što je pravo u Jahvinim očima kao što je činio njegov otac David.
2 but conducted himself like the kings of Israel and even made molten idols of the Baals.	2 Živio je poput izraelskih kraljeva, pa je i likove salio baalima.
3 Moreover, he offered sacrifice in the Valley of Ben-hinnom, and immolated his sons by fire according to the abominable practice of the nations which the LORD had cleared out before the Israelites.	3 Sam je prinosio kâd u dolini Hinomova sina i proveo vlastite sinove kroz oganj, po gnusnom običaju krivobožačkih naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao pred Izraelovim sinovima.
4 He offered sacrifice and incense on the high places, on hills, and under every leafy tree.	4 Prinosio je žrtve i kadio po uzvišicama i brežuljcima i pod svakim zelenim drvetom.
5 Therefore the LORD, his God, delivered him into the power of the king of Aram. The Arameans defeated him and carried away captive a large number of his people, whom they brought to Damascus. He was also delivered into the power of the king of Israel, who defeated him with great slaughter.	5 Zato ga Jahve, njegov Bog, predade u ruke aramejskom kralju te ga on potuče, zarobi mu veliko mnoštvo ljudi i odvede ih u Damask. Još je bio predan u ruke izraelskom kralju koji ga je hametice porazio.
6 For Pekah, son of Remaliah, slew one hundred and twenty thousand of Judah in a single day, all of them valiant men, because they had abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers.	6 Remalijin je sin Pekah pobio među Judejcima sto dvadeset tisuća hrabrih junaka u jedan dan, jer su bili ostavili Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca.
7 Zichri, an Ephraimite warrior, killed Maaseiah, the king's son, and Azrikam, the master of the palace, and also Elkanah, who was second to the king.	7 A junak od Efrajimova plemena Zikri pogubio je kraljeva sina Maaseju i dvorskoga upravitelja Azrikama i Elkanu, drugoga do kralja.
8 The Israelites took away as captives two hundred thousand of their brethren's wives, sons and daughters; they also took from them much plunder, which they brought to Samaria.	8 Izraelovi su sinovi zarobili od svoje braće dvjesta tisuća žena, sinova i kćeri, a zadobili su i silan plijen od njih i odnijeli ga u Samariju.
9 In Samaria there was a prophet of the LORD by the name of Oded. He went out to meet the army returning to Samaria and said to them: "It was because the LORD, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah that he delivered them into your hands. You, however, have slaughtered them with a fury that has reached up to heaven.	9 Ondje bijaše Jahvin prorok po imenu Oded; izašao on pred vojsku što je išla u Samariju i rekao: »Gle, Jahve, Bog vaših otaca, razjario se na Judejce i zato ih je predao u vaše ruke te ste ih gnjevno pobili da je do neba doprlo.
10 And now you are planning to make the children of Judah and Jerusalem your slaves and bondwomen. Are not you yourselves, therefore, guilty of a crime against the LORD, your God?	10 A sada još mislite podjarmiti Judejce i Jeruzalemce da vam budu robovi i robinje; a ipak, niste li i vi puni krivice prema Jahvi, svome Bogu?
11 Now listen to me: send back the captives you have carried off from among your brethren, for the burning anger of the LORD is upon you."	11 Zato me poslušajte sada i vratite to roblje što ga zarobiste od svoje braće, jer će se izliti na vas Jahvin gnjev.«
12 At this, some of the Ephraimite leaders, Azariah, son of Johanan, Berechiah, son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah, son of Shallum, and Amasa, son of Hadlai, themselves stood up in opposition to those who had returned from the war.	12 Tada ustadoše neki između glavara Efrajimovih sinova, i to Johananov sin Azarja, Mešilemotov sin Berekja i Šalumov sin Ezekija, Hadlajev sin Amasa, na one što su se vraćali s vojske.
13 They said to them: "Do not bring the captives here, for what you propose will make us guilty before the LORD and increase our sins and our guilt. Our guilt is already great, and there is a burning anger upon Israel."	13 Pa im rekoše: »Nemojte dovoditi ovamo toga roblja, jer, uz krivicu koja je na nama pred Jahvom, vi mislite još dometnuti na naše grijehe i na našu krivicu, kaoda nije dosta velika naša krivica i jarosni gnjev na Izraelu.«
14 Therefore the soldiers left their captives and the plunder before the princes and the whole assembly.	14 Tada ostaviše ratnici roblje i plijen pred knezovima i svim zborom.
15 Then the men just named proceeded to help the captives. All of them who were naked they clothed from the booty; they clothed them, put sandals on their feet, gave them food and drink, anointed them, and all who were weak they set on asses. They brought them to Jericho, the city of palms, to their brethren. Then they returned to Samaria.	15 Onda su poimence prozvani ljudi ustali, osokolili robove, obukli sve gole u odjeću iz plijena; a kad su ih obukli, obuli, nahranili, napojili i namazali, poveli su na magarcima sve iznemogle i odveli ih u palmov grad Jerihon do njihove braće, a potom se vratili u Samariju.
16 At that time King Ahaz sent an appeal for help to the kings of Assyria.	16 U to je doba kralj Ahaz zamolio asirske kraljeve da mu pomognu.
17 The Edomites had returned, attacked Judah, and carried off captives.	17 Edomci bijahu opet navalili i porazili Judejce te ih odveli u roblje.
18 The Philistines too had raided the cities of the foothills and the Negeb of Judah; they captured Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco and its dependencies, Timnah and its dependencies, and Gimzo and its dependencies, and occupied them.	18 Filistejci se raširili po gradovima Judejske Šefele i Negeba i, zauzevši Bet-Šemeš, Ajalon, Gederot i Soko sa selima, Timnu sa selima i Gimzo sa selima, nastanili se ondje.
19 For the LORD had brought Judah low because of Ahaz, king of Israel, who let Judah go its own way and proved utterly faithless to the LORD.	19 Jahve je počeo ponižavati Judejce zbog judejskoga kralja Ahaza, jer je Ahaz razuzdao Judejce i teško se iznevjerio Jahvi.
20 Tilgath-pilneser, king of Assyria, did indeed come to him, but to oppress him rather than to help him.	20 Došao je na nj asirski kralj Tiglat-Pileser i pritijesnio ga umjesto da ga utvrdi.
21 Though Ahaz plundered the LORD'S house and the houses of the king and the princes to make payment to the king of Assyria, it availed him nothing.	21 Ahaz bijaše opljačkao Jahvin dom, kraljevski dvor i knezove, i sve to dao asirskom kralju, ali mu ništa nije pomoglo.
22 While he was already in distress, the same King Ahaz became even more unfaithful to the LORD.	22 Dok je bio u nevolji, postao je još nevjerniji Jahvi; takav je bio kralj Ahaz.
23 He sacrificed to the gods of Damascus who had defeated him, saying, "Since it was the gods of the kings of Aram who helped them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me also." However, they only caused further disaster to him and to all Israel.	23 Počeo je žrtvovati damaščanskim bogovima koji su ga porazili, misleći: »Kad bogovi aramejskih kraljeva njima pomažu, žrtvovat ću im da bi i meni pomagali.« Ali su oni bili na propast njemu i svem Izraelu.
24 Ahaz gathered up the utensils of God's house and broke them in pieces. He closed the doors of the LORD'S house and had altars made for himself in every corner of Jerusalem.	24 Ahaz je pokupio posuđe iz Božjega doma, slupao ga, zatvorio vrata Jahvina doma i podigao žrtvenike po svim uglovima u Jeruzalemu.
25 In every city throughout Judah he set up high places to offer sacrifice to other gods. Thus he angered the LORD, the God of his fathers.	25 I u svakom je pojedinom judejskom gradu podigao uzvišice da kadi tuđim bogovima, dražeći Jahvu, Boga otaca.
26 The rest of his deeds and his activities, first and last, can be found written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.	26 Ostala su njegova djela i svi njegovi putovi, od prvih do posljednjih, zapisani u Knjizi o judejskim i izraelskim kraljevima.
27 Ahaz rested with his ancestors and was buried in Jerusalem--in the city, for they did not bring him to the tombs of the kings of Israel. His son Hezekiah succeeded him as king.	27 Onda je Ahaz počinuo kod otaca. Sahranili su ga u Gradu, u Jeruzalemu, ali ga nisu unijeli u grobnicu judejskih kraljeva. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Ezekija.
