¹In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel began Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah to reign.

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

²He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.

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

³He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done.

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.

⁴However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

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

⁵It happened, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants who had slain the king his father:

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

⁶but the children of the murderers he didn’t put to death; according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as Yahweh commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.”

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.

⁷He killed of Edom in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, to this day.

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

⁸Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us look one another in the face.”

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

⁹Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife. Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle.

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.

¹⁰You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?’”

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?

¹¹But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

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.

¹²Judah was defeated by Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.

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

¹³Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

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.

¹⁴He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

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.

¹⁵Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

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?

¹⁶Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.

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.

¹⁷Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.

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

¹⁸Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

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

¹⁹They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent after him to Lachish, and killed him there.

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.

²⁰They brought him on horses; and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.

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

²¹All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.

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.

²²He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.

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

²³In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria for forty-one years.

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

²⁴He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: he didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.

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.

²⁵He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of Yahweh, the God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath Hepher.

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.

²⁶For Yahweh saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter; for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel.

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

²⁷Yahweh didn’t say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.

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

²⁸Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

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.

²⁹Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.

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