2 Ljetopisa 20
1 Poslije toga Moabovi i Amonovi sinovi, a s njima i neki od Meunjana, zaratiše na Jošafata.
And it cometh to pass after this, the sons of Moab have come in, and the sons of Ammon, and with them of the peoples, against Jehoshaphat to battle.
2 Ali Jošafat dobi ovu vijest: “Dolazi na te veliko mnoštvo s one strane mora, iz Edoma; i eno ga u Haseson Tamaru, to jest u En Gediju.”
And they come in and declare to Jehoshaphat, saying, 'Come against thee hath a great multitude from beyond the sea, from Aram, and lo, they [are] in Hazezon-Tamar — it [is] En-Gedi.'
3 Jošafat se uplaši i stade tražiti Jahvu te oglasi post po svoj Judeji.
And Jehoshaphat feareth, and setteth his face to seek to Jehovah, and proclaimeth a fast over all Judah;
4 Skupili se Judejci da traže Jahvu: dolazili iz svih judejskih gradova da ga traže.
and Judah is gathered to inquire of Jehovah; also, from all the cities of Judah they have come in to seek Jehovah.
5 Tada Jošafat ustade u judejskom zboru u Jeruzalemu, u Domu Jahvinu, pred novim predvorjem
And Jehoshaphat standeth in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Jehovah, at the front of the new court,
6 i reče: “Jahve, Bože otaca naših, ti si Bog na nebu i vladaš nad svim krivobožačkim kraljevstvima. U tvojoj je ruci takva sila i jakost da se nitko ne može održati pred tobom.
and saith, 'O Jehovah, God of our fathers, art not Thou — God in the heavens? yea, Thou art ruling over all kingdoms of the nations, and in Thy hand [is] power and might, and there is none with Thee to station himself.
7 Ti si, o Bože naš, istjerao stanovnike ove zemlje pred svojim izraelskim narodom i dao je zasvagda potomstvu svoga prijatelja Abrahama;
'Art not Thou our God? Thou hast dispossessed the inhabitants of this land from before Thy people Israel, and dost give it to the seed of Abraham Thy friend to the age,
8 i nastanili su se u njoj i sagradili u njoj Svetište tvojem Imenu govoreći:
and they dwell in it, and build to Thee in it a sanctuary for Thy name, saying,
9 'Kad navali na nas kakvo zlo, osvetni mač ili kuga, ili glad, te kad stanemo pred ovim Domom i pred tobom, jer je tvoje Ime u ovom Domu, i zavapimo k tebi iz svoje nevolje, usliši nas i spasi.'
If evil doth come upon us — sword, judgment, and pestilence, and famine — we stand before this house, and before Thee, for Thy name [is] in this house, and cry unto Thee out of our distress, and Thou dost hear and save.
10 Sada, evo, Amonovi i Moabovi sinovi, i oni iz Seirske gore, preko kojih nisi dao Izraelu da prođe kad je dolazio iz zemlje egipatske, nego ih je obišao i nije ih zatro -
'And now, lo, sons of Ammon, and Moab, and mount Seir, whom Thou didst not grant to Israel to go in against in their coming out of the land of Egypt, for they turned aside from off them and destroyed them not,
11 sada, dakle, oni nama uzvraćaju zlom, došavši da nas otjeraju s baštine koju si nam ti dao.
and lo, they are recompensing to us — to come in to drive us out of Thy possession, that Thou hast caused us to possess.
12 O Bože naš, zar im nećeš suditi? Jer u nas nema sile prema tome velikom mnoštvu koje dolazi na nas niti mi znamo što da radimo, nego su nam oči uprte u te.”
'O our God, dost Thou not execute judgment upon them? for there is no power in us before this great multitude that hath come against us, and we know not what we do, but on Thee [are] our eyes.'
13 Svi su Judejci stajali pred Jahvom, s malom djecom, sa ženama i sinovima.
And all Judah are standing before Jehovah, also their infants, their wives, and their sons.
14 Tada siđe Jahvin duh usred zbora na Jahaziela, sina Zaharije, sina Benaje, sina Jeiela, sina Matanijina - levita od Asafovih sinova.
And upon Jahaziel, son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, hath the Spirit of Jehovah been, in the midst of the assembly,
15 On reče: “Pozorno slušajte, svi Judejci, Jeruzalemci i ti, kralju Jošafate! Ovako vam govori Jahve: 'Ne bojte se i ne plašite se toga velikog mnoštva, jer ovo nije vaš rat, nego Božji.
and he saith, 'Attend, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and O king Jehoshaphat, Thus said Jehovah to you, Ye fear not, nor are afraid of the face of this great multitude, for not for you [is] the battle, but for God.
16 Sutra siđite na njih; oni će se penjati uz Hasiški uspon, a vi ćete ih sresti nakraj doline prema Jeruelskoj pustinji.
To-morrow, go ye down against them, lo, they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz, and ye have found them in the end of the valley, the front of the wilderness of Jeruel.
17 Ne treba da se bijete; postavite se, stojte pa gledajte kako će vam pomoći Jahve. Oj Judo i Jeruzaleme, ne bojte se i ne plašite se; sutra iziđite pred njih, i Jahve će biti s vama!'”
Not for you to fight in this; station yourselves, stand, and see the salvation of Jehovah with you, O Judah and Jerusalem — be not afraid nor fear ye — to-morrow go out before them, and Jehovah [is] with you.'
18 Tada Jošafat pade ničice na zemlju i svi Judejci i Jeruzalemci padoše pred Jahvom da mu se poklone.
And Jehoshaphat boweth — face to the earth — and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have fallen before Jehovah, to bow themselves to Jehovah.
19 Potom leviti od Kehatovih sinova i od Korahovih sinova ustadoše i počeše hvaliti na sav glas Jahvu, Boga Izraelova.
And the Levites, of the sons of the Kohathites, and of the sons of the Korhites, rise to give praise to Jehovah, God of Israel, with a loud voice on high.
20 Uranivši ujutro, krenuše prema pustinji Tekoi; kad su izlazili, stade Jošafat i reče: “Čujte me, oj Judejci i Jeruzalemci, pouzdajte se u Jahvu svoga Boga i održat ćete se; pouzdajte se u njegove proroke i budite sretni!”
And they rise early in the morning, and go out to the wilderness of Tekoa, and in their going out Jehoshaphat hath stood and saith, 'Hear me, O Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem, remain stedfast in Jehovah your God, and be stedfast; remain stedfast in His prophets, and prosper.'
21 Potom se posavjetova s narodom i postavi Jahvine pjevače i hvalitelje koji će u svetom ruhu ići pred naoružanim četama i pjevati: “Slavite Jahvu jer je vječna ljubav njegova!”
And he taketh counsel with the people, and appointeth singers to Jehovah, and those giving praise to the honour of holiness, in the going out before the armed [men], and saying, 'Give ye thanks to Jehovah, for to the age [is] His kindness.'
22 Kad počeše klicati i pjevati pjesmu pohvalnicu, Jahve podiže zasjedu na Amonce, Moapce i na one iz Seirske gore koji su došli na Judu te biše razbijeni.
And at the time they have begun with singing and praise, Jehovah hath put ambushments against the sons of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, who are coming in to Judah, and they are smitten,
23 Jer su Amonovi sinovi i Moapci ustali na one iz Seirske gore da ih zatru i unište; a kad su svršili s onima iz Seira, stadoše udarati jedan na drugoga te se poklaše.
and the sons of Ammon stand up, and Moab, against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to devote and to destroy, and at their finishing with the inhabitants of Seir, they helped, a man against his neighbour, to destroy.
24 Kad Judejci dođoše do stražare prema pustinji i obazreše se na mnoštvo, a ono gle, mrtva tjelesa leže po zemlji; nitko se nije spasio.
And Judah hath come in unto the watch-tower, to the wilderness, and they look unto the multitude, and lo, they [are] carcases fallen to the earth, and there is none escaped,
25 Tada dođe Jošafat s narodom da pokupi plijen i nađoše ga mnogo: svakoga blaga, odjeće i dragocjenih predmeta; naplijenili su toliko da više nisu mogli nositi; tri su dana pljačkali plijen jer ga je bilo mnogo.
and Jehoshaphat cometh in, and his people, to seize their spoil, and they find among them, in abundance, both goods and carcases, and desirable vessels, and they take spoil to themselves without prohibition, and they are three days seizing the spoil, for it [is] abundant.
26 Četvrti se dan sakupiše u Dolini blagoslova: ondje su hvalili Jahvu, pa se zato ono mjesto prozvalo Emek Beraka, Dolina blagoslova, do danas.
And on the fourth day they have been assembled at the valley of Blessing, for there they blessed Jehovah: therefore they have called the name of that place, 'Valley of Blessing,' unto this day.
27 Potom se okrenuše svi Judejci i Jeruzalemci, s Jošafatom na čelu, da se vrate u Jeruzalem u veselju, jer ih je Jahve razveselio nad njihovim neprijateljima.
And they turn back, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat at their head, to go back unto Jerusalem with joy, for Jehovah hath made them rejoice over their enemies.
28 Došli su u Jeruzalem s harfama, citrama i trubama u Dom Jahvin.
And they come in to Jerusalem with psalteries, and with harps, and with trumpets, unto the house of Jehovah.
29 A strah Božji ušao je u sva zemaljska kraljevstva kad su čula da je Jahve zavojštio na Izraelove neprijatelje.
And there is a fear of God on all kingdoms of the lands in their hearing that Jehovah hath fought with the enemies of Israel,
30 Tako je počinulo Jošafatovo kraljevstvo, jer mu je Bog dao mir odasvud uokolo.
and the kingdom of Jehoshaphat is quiet, and his God giveth rest to him round about.
31 Jošafat je kraljevao nad Judejcima. Bilo mu je trideset i pet godina kad se zakraljio; kraljevao je dvadeset i pet godina u Jeruzalemu; mati mu se zvala Azuba, a bila je kći Šilhijeva.
And Jehoshaphat reigneth over Judah, a son of thirty and five years in his reigning, and twenty and five years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
32 Išao je putem oca Ase ne skrećući s njega nego čineći što je pravo u Jahvinim očima.
And he walketh in the way of his father Asa, and hath not turned aside from it, to do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah.
33 Samo, uzvišice nisu bile uklonjene, jer narod još nije bio upravio svoje srce Bogu otaca.
Only, the high places have not turned aside, and still the people have not prepared their heart for the God of their fathers.
34 Ostala Jošafatova djela, od prvih do posljednjih, zapisana su u povijesti Hananijeva sina Jehua i uvrštena su u Knjigu o izraelskim kraljevima.
And the rest of the matters of Jehoshaphat, the first and the last, lo, they are written among the matters of Jehu son of Hanani, who hath been mentioned on the book of the kings of Israel.
35 Poslije toga udružio se judejski kralj Jošafat s izraelskim kraljem Ahazjom, koji je bezbožno radio.
And after this hath Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, (he did wickedly in [so] doing),
36 Udružio se s njim zato da naprave lađe i da odu u Taršiš; napravili su lađe u Esjon Geberu.
and he joineth him with himself to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they make ships in Ezion-Geber,
37 Dodavahuov sin Eliezer iz Mareše prorekao je protiv Jošafata: “Budući da si se udružio s Ahazjom, Jahve će razoriti tvoja djela.” Lađe su se razbile i nisu mogle otploviti u Taršiš.
and prophesy doth Eliezer son of Dodavah, of Mareshah, against Jehoshaphat, saying, 'For thy joining thyself with Ahaziah, Jehovah hath broken up thy works;' and the ships are broken, and have not retained [power] to go unto Tarshish.
