spacemacs - rebind existing keys

Question

I am trying to rebind j, k key as well as capital E, B and Y, but cannot get them to work. Any pointers?

I put this into my .spacemacs (in dotspacemacs/user-config):

(evil-define-key 'normal key-translation-map (kbd "j") (kbd "gj"))
(evil-define-key 'normal key-translation-map (kbd "k") (kbd "gk"))
(evil-define-key 'normal key-translation-map (kbd "Y") (kbd "y$"))
(evil-define-key 'normal key-translation-map (kbd "B") (kbd "^"))
(evil-define-key 'normal key-translation-map (kbd "E") (kbd "$"))

Adapted from this somewhat related answer, here's the pattern you should follow:

(evil-define-key 'normal global-map (kbd "B") (kbd "^"))
