2 Kronická 15
1 Tehdy na Azariáše syna Odedova sstoupil duch Boží.
Now Azariah, the son of Oded, had the Spirit of God within him.
2 Pročež vyšed vstříc Azovi, řekl jemu: Slyšte mne, Azo i všecko pokolení Judovo a Beniaminovo. Hospodin byl s vámi, dokudž jste byli s ním, a budete-li ho hledati, najdete ho; pakli ho opustíte, opustíť vás.
And he went out to meet Asa, and he said to him: “Listen to me, Asa and all of Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you, because you have been with him. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you.
3 Po mnohé zajisté dny Izrael jest bez pravého Boha a bez kněží, učitelů i bez zákona,
Then many days will pass in Israel, apart from the true God, and apart from a learned priest, and apart from the law.
4 Ješto, kdyby se v úzkosti své k Hospodinu Bohu Izraelskému byli obrátili a hledali ho, byliť by ho nalezli.
And when, in their anguish, they will have returned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and will have sought him, they shall find him.
5 Ale časů těchto není bezpečno vycházeti ani vcházeti; nebo nepokoj veliký jest mezi všemi obyvateli země,
In that time, there will be no peace for those who depart and those who enter. Instead, there will be terror on every side, among all the inhabitants of the lands.
6 Tak že šlapá národ po národu, a město po městu, proto že Bůh kormoutí je všelijakými úzkostmi.
For nation will fight against nation, and city against city. For the Lord will disturb them with every anguish.
7 Protož vy posilňte se, a neopouštějte rukou svých; nebo má mzdu práce vaše.
But as for you, be strengthened, and do not let your hands be weakened. For there will be a reward for your work.”
8 A když slyšel Aza slova ta a proroctví Odeda proroka, posilil se, a vyplénil ohavnosti ze vší země Judské a Beniaminské, i z měst, kteráž byl vzal na hoře Efraim, a obnovil oltář Hospodinův, kterýž byl před síní Hospodinovou.
And when Asa had heard these particular words, and the prophecy of the prophet Azariah, the son of Oded, he was strengthened, and he took away the idols from the entire land of Judah, and from Benjamin, and from the cities that he had seized of mount Ephraim, and he dedicated the altar of the Lord, which was before the portico of the Lord.
9 Potom shromáždil všecko pokolení Judovo i Beniaminovo, a příchozí s nimi z Efraima, Manassesa a Simeona; nebo jich bylo uteklo k němu z lidu Izraelského velmi mnoho, vidouce, že Hospodin Bůh jeho jest s ním.
And he gathered together all of Judah and Benjamin, and with them the new arrivals from Ephraim and Manasseh and Simeon. For many had fled to him from Israel, seeing that the Lord his God was with him.
10 I sebrali se do Jeruzaléma třetího měsíce, patnáctého léta kralování Azova,
And when they had arrived in Jerusalem, in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
11 A obětovali Hospodinu v ten den z kořistí přihnaných, volů sedm set a ovcí sedm tisíc.
they immolated to the Lord on that day, from the best of the spoils and from the plunder that they had brought: seven hundred oxen and seven thousand rams.
12 A vešli v smlouvu, aby hledali Hospodina Boha otců svých, z celého srdce svého a ze vší duše své,
And he entered, according to custom, in order to confirm the covenant, so that they would seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with their whole heart and with their whole soul.
13 A kdož by koli nehledal Hospodina Boha Izraelského, aby byl usmrcen, buď malý neb veliký, buď muž neb žena.
“But if anyone,” he said, “will not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, let him die, from the least even to the greatest, from man even to woman.”
14 I přisáhli Hospodinu hlasem velikým, s zvukem na trouby i na pozouny.
And they swore to the Lord, with a great voice, in jubilation, and with the blare of trumpets, and with the sound of horns,
15 Všecken zajisté lid Judský radoval se z přísahy té; nebo celým srdcem svým přisáhli, a se vší ochotností hledali ho, a nalezli jej. I dal jim odpočinutí Hospodin se všech stran.
all who were in Judah swore with a curse. For with all their heart they swore, and with all their will they sought and found him. And the Lord granted rest on all sides to them.
16 Nadto i Maachu matku ssadil Aza král, aby nebyla královnou, proto že byla vzdělala v háji hroznou modlu. I podťal Aza modlu tu hroznou, a zdrobil i spálil ji při potoku Cedron.
Then too, Maacah, the mother of king Asa, he deposed from the august authority, because she had made an idol of Priapus within a sacred grove. And he entirely crushed it, breaking it into pieces, and he burned it at the torrent Kidron.
17 Ačkoli výsosti nebyly zkaženy v lidu Izraelském, srdce však Azovo bylo celé po všecky dny jeho.
But some high places were left in Israel. Even so, the heart of Asa was perfect during all his days.
18 Vnesl také ty věci, kteréž posvěceny byly od otce jeho, i to, čehož sám posvětil, do domu Božího, stříbro, zlato i nádoby.
And whatever his father or he himself had vowed, he brought into the house of the Lord: silver and gold, and vessels for various uses.
19 A nebylo války až do léta třidcátého pátého kralování Azova.
Truly, there was no war, until the thirty-fifth year of the kingdom of Asa.
