2 Kronická 15
1 Tehdy na Azariáše syna Odedova sstoupil duch Boží.
And the spirit of God came on Azariah, the son of Oded;
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 came face to face with Asa and said to him, Give ear to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin: the Lord is with you while you are with him; if your heart's desire is for him, he will be near you, but if you give him up, he will give you up.
3 Po mnohé zajisté dny Izrael jest bez pravého Boha a bez kněží, učitelů i bez zákona,
Now for a long time Israel has been without the true God, and without a teaching priest and without the law;
4 Ješto, kdyby se v úzkosti své k Hospodinu Bohu Izraelskému byli obrátili a hledali ho, byliť by ho nalezli.
But when in their trouble they were turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, searching after him, he let their search be rewarded.
5 Ale časů těchto není bezpečno vycházeti ani vcházeti; nebo nepokoj veliký jest mezi všemi obyvateli země,
In those times there was no peace for him who went out or for him who came in, but great trouble was on all the people of the lands.
6 Tak že šlapá národ po národu, a město po městu, proto že Bůh kormoutí je všelijakými úzkostmi.
And they were broken by divisions, nation against nation and town against town, because God sent all sorts of trouble on them.
7 Protož vy posilňte se, a neopouštějte rukou svých; nebo má mzdu práce vaše.
But be you strong and let not your hands be feeble, for your work will be rewarded.
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 Asa, hearing these words of Azariah, the son of Oded the prophet, took heart and put away all the disgusting things out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the towns which he had taken from the hill-country of Ephraim; and he made new again the altar of the Lord in front of the covered way of the Lord's house.
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 got together all Judah and Benjamin and those of Ephraim and Manasseh and Simeon who were living with them; for numbers of them came to him out of Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
10 I sebrali se do Jeruzaléma třetího měsíce, patnáctého léta kralování Azova,
So they came together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the rule of Asa.
11 A obětovali Hospodinu v ten den z kořistí přihnaných, volů sedm set a ovcí sedm tisíc.
And that day they made offerings to the Lord of the things they had taken in war, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
12 A vešli v smlouvu, aby hledali Hospodina Boha otců svých, z celého srdce svého a ze vší duše své,
And they made an agreement to be true to the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and all their soul;
13 A kdož by koli nehledal Hospodina Boha Izraelského, aby byl usmrcen, buď malý neb veliký, buď muž neb žena.
And that anyone, small or great, man or woman, who was not true to the Lord, the God of Israel, would be put to death.
14 I přisáhli Hospodinu hlasem velikým, s zvukem na trouby i na pozouny.
And they made an oath to the Lord, with a loud voice, sounding wind-instruments and 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.
And all Judah was glad because of the oath, for they had taken it with all their heart, turning to the Lord with all their desire; and he was with them and gave them rest on every side.
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.
And Asa would not let Maacah, his mother, be queen, because she had made a disgusting image for Asherah; and Asa had her image cut down and broken up and burned by the stream Kidron.
17 Ačkoli výsosti nebyly zkaženy v lidu Izraelském, srdce však Azovo bylo celé po všecky dny jeho.
But the high places were not taken away out of Israel; but still the heart of Asa was true to the Lord all his life.
18 Vnesl také ty věci, kteréž posvěceny byly od otce jeho, i to, čehož sám posvětil, do domu Božího, stříbro, zlato i nádoby.
He took into the house of God all the things which his father had made holy and those which he himself had made holy, silver and gold and vessels.
19 A nebylo války až do léta třidcátého pátého kralování Azova.
And there was no more war till the thirty-fifth year of the rule of Asa.
