2 Kronická 15
1 Tehdy na Azariáše syna Odedova sstoupil duch Boží.
And as for 'Azaryahu the son of 'Oded—on him came the spirit of God;
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 Assa, and said unto him, Hear me, O Assa, and all Judah and Benjamin, The Lord is with you, while ye remain with him; and if ye seek him, he will let himself be found by you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 Po mnohé zajisté dny Izrael jest bez pravého Boha a bez kněží, učitelů i bez zákona,
And many days [had elapsed] for Israel, [they being] without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
4 Ješto, kdyby se v úzkosti své k Hospodinu Bohu Izraelskému byli obrátili a hledali ho, byliť by ho nalezli.
But they returned when they were in distress unto the Lord, the God of Israel, and they sought him, and he let himself be found by them.
5 Ale časů těchto není bezpečno vycházeti ani vcházeti; nebo nepokoj veliký jest mezi všemi obyvateli země,
And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, and to him that came in; but there were great confusions among all the inhabitants of the countries.
6 Tak že šlapá národ po národu, a město po městu, proto že Bůh kormoutí je všelijakými úzkostmi.
And nation was dashed to pieces against nation, and city against city; for God did confound them with all kind of distress.
7 Protož vy posilňte se, a neopouštějte rukou svých; nebo má mzdu práce vaše.
But as for you, be ye strong, and let not your hands be weak; for there is a reward for your doing.
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 Assa heard these words, and the prophecy of 'Oded the prophet, he was strengthened, and he put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had captured from the mountain of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of the Lord, that was before the porch 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 assembled all Judah and Benjamin, and those that sojourned with them out of Ephraim and Menasseh, and out of Simeon; for they had joined him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
10 I sebrali se do Jeruzaléma třetího měsíce, patnáctého léta kralování Azova,
And so they assembled themselves at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Assa.
11 A obětovali Hospodinu v ten den z kořistí přihnaných, volů sedm set a ovcí sedm tisíc.
And they sacrificed unto the Lord on the same day, of the booty which they had brought, 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 entered into the covenant to seek the Lord the God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
13 A kdož by koli nehledal Hospodina Boha Izraelského, aby byl usmrcen, buď malý neb veliký, buď muž neb žena.
So that whosoever would not seek the Lord the God of Israel should be put to death, from the small even up to the great, whether it be man or woman.
14 I přisáhli Hospodinu hlasem velikým, s zvukem na trouby i na pozouny.
And they swore unto the Lord with a loud voice, and with [joyful] shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
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 rejoiced because of the oath; for with all their heart had they sworn, and with their whole desire did they seek him, and he let himself be found by them: and the Lord 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 also concerning Ma'achah the mother of king Assa, he removed her from being queen, because she had made a scandalous image for the grove; and Assa cut down her scandalous image, and had it ground up, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.
17 Ačkoli výsosti nebyly zkaženy v lidu Izraelském, srdce však Azovo bylo celé po všecky dny jeho.
But the high-places were not removed out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Assa was entire 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 be brought the things which his father had sanctified, and his own sanctified things, into the house of God, —silver, and gold, and vessels.
19 A nebylo války až do léta třidcátého pátého kralování Azova.
And there was no war until the five-and-thirtieth year of the reign of Assa.
