¹V drugem letu Joasa, sina Joahazovega, kralja v Izraelu, je zakraljeval Amazija, sin Joasa, kralja Judovega.

¹In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned hath Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah;

²Petindvajset let je bil star, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je devetindvajset let v Jeruzalemu; in materi njegovi je bilo ime Joadina iz Jeruzalema.

²a son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and twenty and nine years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem,

³In delal je, kar je bilo prav v očeh GOSPODOVIH, a ne kakor David, oče njegov, ampak ravnal se je po vsem, kar je delal njegov oče Joas.

³and he doth that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, only not like David his father, according to all that Joash his father did he hath done,

⁴Toda višave niso bile odpravljene, ljudstvo je še darovalo in žgalo kadilo na višavah.

⁴only, the high places have not turned aside — yet are the people sacrificing and making perfume in high places.

⁵In ko mu je bilo kraljestvo trdno v rokah, je umoril hlapca svoja, ki sta bila ubila kralja, očeta njegovega.

⁵And it cometh to pass, when the kingdom hath been strong in his hand, that he smiteth his servants, those smiting the king his father,

⁶Ali otrok morilcev ni usmrtil, po zapovedi GOSPODOVI, kakor je pisano v knjigi postave Mojzesove: Očetje naj se ne obsodijo v smrt za otroke, tudi ne otroci za očete; sleherni naj umrje za svoj greh.

⁶and the sons of those smiting [him] he hath not put to death, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses that Jehovah commanded, saying, `Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers, but each for his own sin is put to death.`

⁷On je pobil iz Edomcev v Solni dolini deset tisoč in pridobil je Selo v vojni in jo imenoval Jokteel, do današnjega dne.

⁷He hath smitten Edom, in the valley of salt — ten thousand, and seized Selah in war, and [one] calleth its name Joktheel unto this day,

⁸Potem pošlje Amazija sporočnikov k Joasu, sinu Joahaza, sina Jehujevega, kralju Izraelovemu, rekoč: Pridi, da si pogledava v lice!

⁸then hath Amaziah sent messengers unto Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, `Come, we look one another in the face.`

⁹Joas pa, kralj Izraelov, pošlje k Amaziju, kralju Judovemu, in sporoči: Osat, ki je bil na Libanonu, je poslal k libanonskemu cedru, rekoč: Daj svojo hčer sinu mojemu za ženo! V tem je šla mimo divja zver z Libanona in je poteptala osat.

⁹And Jehoash king of Israel sendeth unto Amaziah king of Judah, saying, `The thorn that [is] in Lebanon hath sent unto the cedar that [is] in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son for a wife; and pass by doth a beast of the field that [is] in Lebanon, and treadeth down the thorn.

¹⁰Porazil si res Edoma, in tega se je srce tvoje prevzelo. Hvali se s tem in ostani doma! Zakaj siliš v nesrečo, da padeš ti in Juda s teboj?

¹⁰Thou hast certainly smitten Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up; be honoured, and abide in thy house; and why dost thou stir thyself up in evil, that thou hast fallen, thou, and Judah with thee?`

¹¹Ali Amazija ni hotel poslušati. Tedaj je šel gori Joas, kralj Izraelov, in pogledala sta si v lice on in Amazija, kralj Judov, v Betsemesu, ki je na Judovem.

¹¹And Amaziah hath not hearkened, and go up doth Jehoash king of Israel, and they look one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, in Beth-Shemesh, that [is] Judah`s,

¹²In Juda je izgubil bitko pred Izraelom, in bežal je vsak v šator svoj.

¹²and Judah is smitten before Israel, and they flee each to his tent.

¹³In Joas, kralj Izraelov, ujame Amazija, kralja Judovega, sina Joasa, sinu Ahazijevega, v Betsemesu, in ko pride v Jeruzalem, podere zidove jeruzalemske od Efraimovih vrat do Vogelnih vrat, štiristo komolcev.

¹³And Amaziah king of Judah, son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, caught hath Jehoash king of Israel in Beth-Shemesh, and they come in to Jerusalem, and he bursteth through the wall of Jerusalem, at the gate of Ephraim unto the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits,

¹⁴In vzame vse zlato in srebro in vse posode, kar se jih je našlo v hiši GOSPODOVI in v zakladih hiše kraljeve, tudi zastavljence, in se vrne v Samarijo.

¹⁴and hath taken all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that are found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the house of the king, and the sons of the pledges, and turneth back to Samaria.

¹⁵Druge zgodbe Joasove, kar je storil, in moč njegova in kako se je bojeval z Amazijem, kraljem Judovim, ni li zapisano v knjigi, letopisov kraljev Izraelovih?

¹⁵And the rest of the matters of Jehoash that he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?

¹⁶In Joas je legel k očetom svojim, in pokopali so ga v Samariji s kralji Izraelovimi. In Jeroboam, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

¹⁶And Jehoash lieth with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel, and reign doth Jeroboam his son in his stead.

¹⁷Amazija pa, sin Joasov, kralj Judov, je živel še petnajst let po smrti Joasa, sina Joahazovega, kralja izraelskega.

¹⁷And Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah liveth after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years,

¹⁸Druge pa zgodbe Amazijeve niso li zapisane v knjigi letopisov kraljev Judovih?

¹⁸and the rest of the matters of Amaziah are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

¹⁹In napravili so zoper njega zaroto v Jeruzalemu; on pa je pobegnil v Lahis, in poslali so za njim v Lahis in ga tam ubili.

¹⁹And they make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fleeth to Lachish, and they send after him to Lachish, and put him to death there,

²⁰In so ga prinesli na konjih in pokopali v Jeruzalemu z očeti njegovimi v mestu Davidovem.

²⁰and lift him up on the horses, and he is buried in Jerusalem, with his fathers, in the city of David.

²¹In vse ljudstvo Judovo vzame Azarija [Se imenuje Uzija.], ki je bil šestnajst let star, ter ga postavijo za kralja na mestu očeta njegovega Amazija.

²¹And all the people of Judah take Azariah, and he [is] a son of sixteen years, and cause him to reign instead of his father Amaziah;

²²On je zgradil Elat in ga je zopet prilastil Judi, potem ko je bil legel kralj k očetom svojim.

²²he hath built Elath, and bringeth it back to Judah, after the lying of the king with his fathers.

²³V petnajstem letu Amazija, sinu Joasa, kralja Judovega, je zakraljeval Jeroboam, sin Joasa, kralja Izraelovega, v Samariji in je vladal enoinštirideset let.

²³In the fifteenth year of Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, reigned hath Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel in Samaria — forty and one years,

²⁴In delal je, kar je bilo hudo v očeh GOSPODOVIH; ni odstopil od vseh grehov Jeroboama, sinu Nebatovega, ki je ž njimi zapeljeval Izraela v greh.

²⁴and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, he hath not turned aside from all the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin.

²⁵On je zopet pridobil Izraelu prejšnje meje od poti v Hamat do Morja v nižini, po besedi GOSPODA, Boga Izraelovega, ki jo je govoril po hlapcu svojem Jonu, sinu Amitajevem, proroku, ki je bil iz Gat-heferja.

²⁵He hath brought back the border of Israel, from the entering in of Hamath unto the sea of the desert, according to the word of Jehovah, God of Israel, that He spake by the hand of His servant Jonah son of Amittai the prophet, who [is] of Gath-Hepher,

²⁶Videl je namreč GOSPOD prebridko stisko Izraelovo, da je uničen suženj in tudi svobodni in da ni bilo pomočnika Izraelu.

²⁶for Jehovah hath seen the affliction of Israel — very bitter, and there is none restrained, and there is none left, and there is no helper to Israel;

²⁷In GOSPOD ni bil rekel, da izbriše ime Izraelovo izpod neba; in rešil jih je po roki Jeroboama, sina Joasovega.

²⁷and Jehovah hath not spoken to blot out the name of Israel from under the heavens, and saveth them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Joash.

²⁸Kar je pa več praviti o Jeroboamu in vse, kar je storil, in moč njegova, kako se je bojeval in kako je pridobil Damask in Hamat, ki sta bila nekdaj Judova, zopet Izraelu, ni li to zapisano v knjigi letopisov kraljev Izraelovih?In Jeroboam je legel k očetom svojim, h kraljem Izraelovim. In Zaharija, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

²⁸And the rest of the matters of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought, and with which he brought back Damascus, and Hamath of Judah, into Israel, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?

²⁹In Jeroboam je legel k očetom svojim, h kraljem Izraelovim. In Zaharija, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

²⁹And Jeroboam lieth with his fathers, with the kings of Israel, and reign doth Zechariah his son in his stead.
