2 Kronická 20
1 I stalo se potom, že přitáhli synové Moáb a synové Ammon, a s nimi někteří od Ammonitských, proti Jozafatovi na vojnu.
Later [armies from] Moab and Ammon and some soldiers from [the] Meun [area in Edom] came [to fight] against Jehoshaphat’s [army].
2 A přišedše, oznámili Jozafatovi, řkouce: Přitáhlo proti tobě množství veliké z zámoří, z země Syrské, a aj, jsou v Hasesontamar, jenž jest Engadi.
Some men came and told Jehoshaphat, “A huge army is coming to attack your army. They are coming from [the] Edom [region], from the eastern side of the [Dead] Sea. They have already come to Hazazon-Tamar!” Another name for that place is En-Gedi.
3 I ulekl se, a obrátil Jozafat tvář svou k hledání Hospodina, a vyhlásil půst všemu lidu Judskému.
Jehoshaphat became very afraid, so he decided to ask Yahweh [what he should do]. He also proclaimed that all [the people of] Judah should fast.
4 A tak shromáždil se lid Judský, aby hledali Hospodina. Také i ze všech měst Judských sešli se hledati Hospodina.
The people of Judah gathered together to request Yahweh to help them. They came [to Jerusalem] from every town in Judah to seek help from Yahweh.
5 Tedy stál Jozafat v shromáždění Judském a Jeruzalémském, v domě Hospodinově před síní novou,
Then Jehoshaphat stood up in front of the people of Judah in front of the new courtyard of the temple,
6 A řekl: Hospodine, Bože otců našich, zdaliž ty sám nejsi Bohem na nebi? Zdaliž ty nepanuješ nade všemi královstvími národů? Zdaliž v ruce tvé není síly a moci, tak že není, kdo by se mohl postaviti proti tobě?
and he prayed this: “Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors belonged to, you are surely the God who [rules from] heaven. You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. You have great power, and no one can successfully oppose you.
7 Zdaliž jsi ty, Bože náš, nevyhnal obyvatelů země této před tváří lidu svého Izraelského, a dal jsi ji semeni Abrahama, milovníka svého na věky?
Our God, you expelled the people who lived in this land while your Israeli people advanced, and you certainly gave it to us who are descendants of your friend Abraham, to belong to us forever.
8 Kteřížto bydlili v ní, a vzdělali tobě v ní svatyni, jménu tvému, řkouce:
We have lived here and have built a temple where we, your people, worship you. We said,
9 Jestliže by na nás přišly zlé věci, meč pomsty, buď morová rána, buď hlad, postavíme se před tímto domem a před tebou, (poněvadž jméno tvé jest v domě tomto), a budeme volati k tobě v úzkostech svých, i vyslyšíš a vysvobodíš.
'If we experience disasters, either from our enemies attacking us or from you punishing us, or if we experience a plague or a famine, we will stand in your presence in front of this temple that is built to honor you, and we will cry out to you when we are distressed/suffering, and you will hear us and will rescue us.'
10 A nyní, aj, synové Ammon a Moáb, a hora Seir, skrze něž jsi nedopustil jíti Izraelovi, když se brali z země Egyptské, ale uhnuli se od nich, a nepohubili jich,
You would not allow our Israeli ancestors to enter the countries of Ammon and Moab and Edom when they were traveling from Egypt [to Canaan]. So our ancestors turned away from those areas and did not attack the people there and did not destroy them. But now they are coming here [to attack us].
11 Aj hle, oni odplacejí se nám, přitáhše, aby nás vyhnali z dědictví tvého, kteréž jsi právem dědičným dal nám.
[We did not destroy them. But now] look at how they are repaying us by trying to expel us from the land that you gave to our ancestors to belong to them [and their descendants forever]
12 Bože náš, zdali jich souditi nebudeš? V násť zajisté není žádné síly proti množství tomuto velikému, kteréž táhne proti nám, aniž my víme, co bychom činiti měli, toliko na tě patří oči naše.
So, our God, please punish them, because we do not have enough power to resist/defeat this huge army that is coming to attack us. We do not know what to do. But we are pleading for you to help us.”
13 Všecken také lid Judský stáli před Hospodinem, též i dítky jich, ženy i synové jejich.
All the men of Judah and their wives and children and babies were standing there in the presence of Yahweh [while Jehoshaphat prayed].
14 Jachaziel pak syn Zachariáše syna Benaiášova, syna Jehielova, syna Mataniášova, Levíta z synů Azafových, nadšen jsa duchem Hospodinovým, u prostřed toho shromáždění,
Then the Spirit of Yahweh came upon Jahaziel, who was the son of Zechariah, who was the son of Benaiah, who was the son of Jeiel, who was the son of Mattaniah. He was a descendant of Levi and a descendant of Asaph. He stood up in front of the whole group that was gathered there,
15 Řekl: Pozorujte všecken Judo a obyvatelé Jeruzalémští, i ty králi Jozafate. Takto vám praví Hospodin: Nebojte se vy, ani se lekejte množství tohoto velikého; nebo ne váš bude boj, ale Boží.
and said, “King Jehoshaphat and all you who live in Jerusalem and in other places in Judah, listen! This is what Yahweh says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this huge army [that is coming to attack you], because it is not you who [will win] this battle. It is God [who will win it].
16 Zítra vytáhněte proti nim, aj, oni potáhnou po stráni Ziz, a naleznete je při konci údolí naproti poušti Jeruel.
Tomorrow march down toward them. They will be climbing up through Ziz Pass [north of En-Gedi]. You will meet them at the end of the gorge near the Jeruel Desert.
17 Nebudete vy bojovati tuto. Postavte se, stůjte a vizte vysvobození Hospodinovo při sobě, ó Judo a Jeruzaléme. Nebojte se, aniž se strachujte; zítra vyjděte proti nim, a Hospodin bude s vámi.
But you will not need to fight this battle. You soldiers from Jerusalem and other places in Judah, just take your positions, and then stand still and watch [what will happen]. You will see Yahweh rescue you. Do not be afraid or discouraged. March toward them tomorrow, and Yahweh will be with you.’”
18 I sklonil se Jozafat tváří k zemi, a všecken lid Judský i obyvatelé Jeruzalémští padli před Hospodinem, klanějíce se Hospodinu.
Jehoshaphat prostrated himself with his face touching the ground, and all the people of Jerusalem and other places in Judah [who were there] knelt down to worship Yahweh.
19 Vstali pak Levítové z synů Kahat a z synů Chóre, aby chválili Hospodina Boha Izraelského hlasem velikým a vysokým.
Then some descendants of Levi who were descendants of both Kohath and Korah stood up and loudly praised Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [belonged to].
20 Potom vstavše ráno, vytáhli na poušť Tekoe. A když vycházeli, stál Jozafat a řekl: Slyšte mne, Judo a obyvatelé Jeruzalémští. Věřte v Hospodina Boha svého, a stane se vám věrně; věřte prorokům jeho, a šťastně se vám povede.
Early the next morning the army left to go to the desert near Tekoa [town]. While they were leaving, Jehoshaphat stood up and said to the people, “You people of Jerusalem and other places in Judah, listen to me! Trust in Yahweh our God; if you do that, you will be strong. Trust in [what] his prophets [have said]; if you do that, you will be successful.”
21 A tak poradiv se s lidem, postavil zpěváky Hospodinu, aby chválili okrasu svatosti, a když by vycházeli sšikovaní k boji, aby oni napřed šli a říkali: Oslavujte Hospodina, nebo na věky milosrdenství jeho.
Then, after consulting with some of the people, he appointed some men to go in front of the army, singing to Yahweh and praising him because of his being holy and wonderful. They were singing, “Thank Yahweh, because he faithfully loves us forever.”
22 Tu chvíli pak, když oni začali zpěv a chválení, obrátil Hospodin ty, kteříž byli v zálohách, na syny Ammon, Moáb a obyvatele hory Seir, ješto však byli přitáhli proti Judovi, a tak sami se bili.
When they began to sing and praise Yahweh, Yahweh caused the soldiers from Ammon and Moab and Edom who were invading Judah to panic, with the result that they were defeated.
23 Nebo povstali synové Ammon a Moábští proti obyvatelům hory Seir, aby zmordovali a shladili je. A když dokonali boj proti obyvatelům hory Seir, pomáhali sobě a hubili jedni druhé.
The soldiers from Ammon and Moab started to fight against the soldiers from Edom, and they completely annihilated the soldiers from Edom. After they finished slaughtering the men from Edom, they started to attack each other.
24 Mezi tím lid Judský přitáhl k stráži, kteráž jest na poušti, a uzřeli to množství, a aj, mrtví leží na zemi, aniž kdo ušel.
When the soldiers from Judah came to the place where they could look down over the desert, they looked toward that huge army [of their enemies], and they saw only corpses lying on the ground. No one had survived.
25 Pročež přistoupil Jozafat s lidem svým, aby rozebrali loupeže jejich, a nalezli u nich hojnost zboží i klénotů na tělích zbitých. I rozbitovali toho mezi sebou, tak že unesti nemohli; za tři dni dělili ty loupeže, proto že jich mnoho bylo.
So Jehoshaphat and his soldiers went to take the possessions of their enemies, and they saw that there was a lot of equipment and clothing and other valuable things; there was more than they could carry away. There were very many things, with the result that it took three days for them to collect it all.
26 V den pak čtvrtý shromáždili se do údolí Beracha, a že tu dobrořečili Hospodinu, protož nazvali jméno místa toho údolí Beracha až do dnešního dne.
The following day they gathered in Beracah Valley and praised Yahweh there. That is why that valley is still called Beracah, [which means praise.]
27 Zatím obrátili se všickni muži Judští a Jeruzalémští, a Jozafat před nimi, aby se navrátili do Jeruzaléma s veselím; nebo byl obveselil je Hospodin nad nepřátely jejich.
Then while Jehoshaphat led them, all the soldiers who were from Jerusalem and other places in Judah returned to Jerusalem. They were happy because Yahweh had enabled them to defeat their enemies.
28 I vešli do Jeruzaléma s loutnami a harfami a s trubami do domu Hospodinova.
When they arrived at Jerusalem, they went to the temple, [playing] harps and lutes and trumpets.
29 Tedy připadl strach Boží na všecka království zemská, když uslyšeli, že Hospodin bojoval proti nepřátelům lidu Izraelského.
People in the kingdoms of the nearby countries became very afraid when they heard how Yahweh had fought against the enemies of the Israelis.
30 A tak v pokoji bylo království Jozafatovo; nebo odpočinutí dal jemu Bůh jeho odevšad.
Then there was peace in the kingdom that was ruled by Jehoshaphat, because God had caused the surrounding nations not to attack it.
31 Kraloval pak Jozafat nad Judou. Ve třidcíti pěti letech byl, když kralovati začal, a pětmecítma let kraloval v Jeruzalémě. Jméno matky jeho Azuba, dcera Silchi.
Jehoshaphat continued to rule Judah. He was 35 years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 25 years. His mother’s name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
32 A chodil po cestě Azy otce svého, aniž se uchýlil od ní, čině to, což pravého jest před očima Hospodinovýma.
He did things that were pleasing to Yahweh, like his father Asa had done, and he did not stop doing those things.
33 A však výsosti nebyly zkaženy, nebo ještě lid byl nenastrojil srdce svého k Bohu otců svých.
But he did not get rid of the shrines on the hilltops, and many of the people still did not faithfully do what the God whom their ancestors belonged to wanted.
34 O jiných pak věcech Jozafatových, prvních i posledních, sepsáno jest v knihách Jéhu syna Chanani, kterémuž bylo poručeno, aby to vložil do knihy o králích Izraelských.
A record of the other things that Jehoshaphat did while he ruled, from when he began to rule until he died, is in the scrolls written by [the prophet] Jehu, the son of Hanani. They are also in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel.
35 Potom stovaryšil se Jozafat král Judský s Ochoziášem králem Izraelským, kterýž sobě bezbožně počínal.
During his reign, Jehoshaphat made a treaty with Ahaziah, the king of Israel, who was a very wicked king.
36 Stovaryšil se pak s ním proto, aby nadělal lodí, kteréž by přecházely přes moře. I nadělali lodí v Aziongaber.
They agreed that their workers would build a fleet of ships to use to buy and sell [things with other countries]. After those ships were built at Ezion-Geber [on the Gulf of Aqaba],
37 Protož prorokoval Eliezer syn Dodavahův z Maresa proti Jozafatovi, řka: Jakž jsi se stovaryšil s Ochoziášem, roztrhl Hospodin skutky tvé. I stroskotány jsou lodí, a tak nemohly se doplaviti přes moře.
Eliezer the son of Dodavahu from Mareshah [city] warned Jehoshaphat. He said, “You have made an alliance with Ahaziah, [who is a wicked king]. Therefore, Yahweh will destroy the ships that your workers have made.” And the ships were wrecked, and were not able to sail to other countries.
