Druga knjiga o Kraljevima 14

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Druge godine kraljevanja Joaša, sina Joahazova, nad Izraelom, postade judejskim kraljem Amasja, sin Joašev.	1 In the second year of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, began to reign.
2 Bilo mu je dvadeset i pet godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je dvadeset i devet godina u Jeruzalemu. Mati mu se zvala Joadana i bila je iz Jeruzalema.	2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother, whose name was Jehoaddin, was from Jerusalem.
3 Činio je što je pravo u Jahvinim očima, ali ne sasvim kao praotac njegov David. U svemu je slijedio Joaša, svoga oca.	3 He pleased the LORD, yet not like his forefather David, since he did just as his father Joash had done.
4 Ali uzvišica nije razrušio i narod je svejednako prinosio žrtve i kâd na uzvišicama.	4 Thus the high places did not disappear, but the people continued to sacrifice and to burn incense on them.
5 Kad je učvrstio kraljevstvo, smaknuo je one časnike koji su mu ubili oca.	5 When Amaziah had the kingdom firmly in hand, he slew the officials who had murdered the king, his father.
6 Ali nije pogubio sinova onih ubojica, prema onome što je napisano u Knjizi Zakona Mojsijeva, gdje Jahve zapovijeda: »Neka se očevi ne pogubljuju za sinove ni sinovi za očeve, nego svatko neka gine za svoj grijeh.«	6 But the children of the murderers he did not put to death, obeying the LORD'S command written in the book of the law of Moses, "Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; each one shall die for his own sin."
7 On je potukao Edomce u Slanoj dolini, deset tisuća njih, i u bitci je zauzeo Selu; dao joj je ime Jokteel, koje nosi do današnjega dana.	7 Amaziah slew ten thousand Edomites in the Salt Valley, and took Sela in battle. He renamed it Joktheel, the name it has to this day.
8 Tada Amasja posla glasnike izraelskom kralju Joašu, sinu Jehuova sina Joahaza, i poruči mu: »Dođi da se ogledamo!«	8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, with this challenge, "Come, let us meet face to face."
9 A izraelski kralj Joaš odvrati judejskom kralju Amasji: »Libanonski je trn jedanput poslao glasnike k libanonskom cedru: ‘Daj kćer mome sinu za ženu’, ali su divlje zvijeri libanonske prošle i trn izgazile.	9 King Jehoash of Israel sent this reply to the king of Judah: "The thistle of Lebanon sent word to the cedar of Lebanon, 'Give your daughter to my son in marriage,' but an animal of Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle underfoot.
10 Potukao si Edomce, pa ti se srce uzobijestilo i tražiš slavu! Radije ostani kod kuće. Zašto izazivaš zlo i hoćeš da propadneš ti i svi Judejci s tobom?«	10 You have indeed conquered Edom, and you have become ambitious. Enjoy your glory, but stay at home! Why involve yourself and Judah with you in misfortune and failure?"
11 Ali Amasja ne posluša. Izađe izraelski kralj Joaš te se ogledaše u boju on i judejski kralj Amasja u Bet Šemešu u Judeji.	11 But Amaziah would not listen. King Jehoash of Israel then advanced, and he and King Amaziah of Judah met in battle at Beth-shemesh of Judah.
12 Izraelci poraziše Judejce i oni pobjegoše svaki pod svoj šator.	12 Judah was defeated by Israel, and all the Judean soldiery fled homeward.
13 Izraelski kralj Joaš uhvati u Bet Šemešu judejskoga kralja Amasju, sina Joaševa, sina Ahazjina, i odvede ga u Jeruzalem. Tada sruši jeruzalemski zid od Efrajimovih vrata do Ugaonih vrata, u dužini od četiri stotine lakata.	13 King Jehoash of Israel captured Amaziah, son of Jehoash, son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh. He went on to Jerusalem where he tore down four hundred cubits of the city wall, from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate.
14 Uzevši sve zlato, srebro i posuđe što se nalazilo u domu Jahvinu i u riznici kraljevskog dvora, povrh toga i taoce, vrati se u Samariju.	14 He took all the gold and silver and all the utensils there were in the temple of the LORD and the treasuries of the palace, and hostages as well. Then he returned to Samaria.
15 Ostala povijest Joaševa, sve što je činio i poduzimao i kako je ratovao s Amasjom, judejskim kraljem, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa izraelskih kraljeva?	15 The rest of the acts of Jehoash, his valor, and how he fought Amaziah, king of Judah, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
16 Joaš je počinuo sa svojim ocima i pokopan je u Samariji uz kraljeve izraelske. Sin njegov Jeroboam zakralji se mjesto njega.	16 Jehoash rested with his ancestors; he was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. His son Jeroboam succeeded him as king.
17 Amasja, sin Joašev, judejski kralj, živio je još petnaest godina poslije smrti izraelskog kralja Joaša, sina Joahazova.	17 Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, survived Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, by fifteen years.
18 A ostala povijest Amasjina zar nije zapisana u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva judejskih?	18 The rest of the acts of Amaziah are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
19 Protiv njega je skovana urota u Jeruzalemu. Iako je on pobjegao u Lakiš, poslaše za njim u Lakiš ljude koji ga ondje ubiše.	19 When a conspiracy was formed against him in Jerusalem, he fled to Lachish. But he was pursued to Lachish and killed there.
20 Odande su ga prenijeli na konjima i sahranili u Jeruzalemu kraj njegovih otaca, u Davidovu gradu.	20 He was brought back on horses and buried with his ancestors in the City of David in Jerusalem.
21 Tada sav judejski narod uze Azarju, komu bijaše šesnaest godina, i zakralji ga namjesto njegova oca Amasje.	21 Thereupon all the people of Judah took the sixteen-year-old Azariah and proclaimed him king to succeed his father Amaziah.
22 On opet sagradi Elat povrativši ga Judeji, pošto je kralj počinuo kod svojih otaca.	22 It was Azariah who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah, after King Amaziah rested with his ancestors.
23 Petnaeste godine kraljevanja judejskog kralja Amasje, sina Joaševa, postade izraelskim kraljem u Samariji Jeroboam, sin Joašev. On je kraljevao četrdeset i jednu godinu.	23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam, son of Joash, king of Israel, began his forty-one-year reign in Samaria.
24 Činio je što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, nije se ostavio nijednoga grijeha Jeroboama, sina Nebatova, koji je zaveo Izraela.	24 He did evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not desist from any of the sins which Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had caused Israel to commit.
25 On je dobio natrag izraelsko područje od ulaza u Hamat do Mrtvoga mora, prema riječi koju je Jahve, Bog Izraelov, rekao preko sluge svoga Jone, sina Amitajeva, proroka iz Gat Hahefera.	25 He restored the boundaries of Israel from Labo-of-Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had prophesied through his servant, the prophet Jonah, son of Amittai, from Gath-hepher.
26 Jer je Jahve vidio ljutu nevolju Izraelovu da više nema ni slobodnih ni robova i nikoga da pomogne Izraelu.	26 For the LORD saw the very bitter affliction of Israel, where there was neither slave nor freeman, no one at all to help Israel.
27 Ali Jahve nije odlučio izbrisati ispod neba ime Izraelovo: spasio ga je rukom Jeroboama, sina Joaševa.	27 Since the LORD had not determined to blot out the name of Israel from under the heavens, he saved them through Jeroboam, son of Joash.
28 Ostala povijest Jeroboamova, sve što je učinio i sve što je poduzimao, kako je ratovao i kako je vratio Damask Judi i Izraelu, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva izraelskih?	28 The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, his valor and all his accomplishments, how he fought with Damascus and turned back Hamath from Israel, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
29 Jeroboam je počinuo sa svojim ocima. Pokopali su ga u Samariji uz kraljeve izraelske, a njegov sin Zaharija zakralji se mjesto njega.	29 Jeroboam rested with his ancestors, the kings of Israel, and his son Zechariah succeeded him as king.
