2 Chronicles 20
1 After this, the Moabites and Ammonites, together with some of the Meunites, came to make war against Jehoshaphat.
Po tem se je tudi pripetilo, da so Moábovi otroci, Amónovi otroci in z njimi drugi, poleg Amóncev, prišli zoper Józafata, da se vojskujejo.
2 Then some men came and told Jehoshaphat, “A vast army is coming against you from Edom, from beyond the Sea; they are already in Hazazon-tamar” (that is, En-gedi).
Potem so prišli nekateri, ki so Józafatu rekli: »Velika množica prihaja zoper tebe, iz druge strani morja, na to stran Sirije. Glej, oni so v Hacecón Tamáru, ki je En Gedi.
3 Jehoshaphat was alarmed and set his face to seek the LORD. And he proclaimed a fast throughout Judah.
Józafat se je zbal in se pripravil, da išče Gospoda in je po vsem Judu razglasil post.
4 So the people of Judah gathered to seek the LORD, and indeed, they came from all the cities of Judah to seek Him.
Juda se je zbral skupaj, da prosi pomoč od Gospoda. Celo iz vseh Judovih mest so prišli, da iščejo Gospoda.
5 Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of the LORD in front of the new courtyard
Józafat je stal v skupnosti Judovcev in Jeruzalemcev, v Gospodovi hiši, pred novim dvorom
6 and said, “O LORD, God of our fathers, are You not the God who is in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand, and no one can stand against You.
in rekel: »Oh Gospod, Bog naših očetov, ali nisi ti Bog v nebesih? In ali ne vladaš nad vsemi kraljestvi poganov? In ali ni v tvoji roki oblast in moč, tako da se ti nihče ne more zoperstaviti?
7 Our God, did You not drive out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham Your friend?
Mar nisi ti naš Bog, ki si napodil prebivalce te dežele pred svojim ljudstvom Izraelom in jo daješ potomcem svojega prijatelja Abrahama na veke?
8 They have lived in the land and have built in it a sanctuary for Your Name, saying,
In oni prebivajo v njej in so ti v njej zgradili svetišče za tvoje ime, rekoč:
9 ‘If disaster comes upon us—whether sword or judgment, plague or famine—we will stand before this temple and before You, for Your Name is in this temple. We will cry out to You in our distress, and You will hear us and save us.’
›Če zlo prihaja nad nas kakor meč, sodba ali kužna bolezen ali lakota, mi stojimo pred to hišo in v tvoji prisotnosti (kajti tvoje ime je v tej hiši) in kličemo k tebi v svoji stiski, potem boš slišal in pomagal.
10 And now, here are the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, whom You did not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt; but Israel turned away from them and did not destroy them.
In sedaj glej, Amónovi in Moábovi otroci in gorovje Seír, za katere nisi hotel, da jih Izraelci napadejo, ko so prišli iz egiptovske dežele, temveč so se obrnili od njih in jih niso uničili,
11 See how they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of the possession that You gave us as an inheritance.
glej pravim, kako so nas nagradili, da pridejo, da nas vržejo ven iz tvoje posesti, ki si nam jo ti dal, da jo podedujemo.
12 Our God, will You not judge them? For we are powerless before this vast army that comes against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.”
Oh naš Bog, mar jih ne boš sodil? Kajti nobene moči nimamo zoper to veliko skupino, ki prihaja zoper nas niti ne vemo, kaj storiti, temveč so naše oči na tebi.«
13 Meanwhile all the men of Judah, with their wives and children and little ones, were standing before the LORD.
Ves Juda je stal pred Gospodom s svojimi malčki, svojimi ženami in svojimi otroki.
14 Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite from Asaph’s descendants, as he stood in the midst of the assembly.
Potem je nad Jahaziéla, sina Zeharjája, sina Benajája, sina Jeiéla, sina Matanjája, Lévijevca izmed Asáfovih sinov, prišel Duh od Gospoda v sredo skupnosti
15 And he said, “Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the LORD says: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army, for the battle does not belong to you, but to God.
in rekel je: »Prisluhnite, ves Juda in prebivalci Jeruzalema in ti, kralj Józafat: ›Tako vam govori Gospod: ›Ne bojte se niti ne bodite zaprepadeni zaradi te velike množice, kajti bitka ni vaša, temveč Božja.
16 Tomorrow you are to march down against them. You will see them coming up the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the valley facing the Wilderness of Jeruel.
Jutri pojdite dol zoper njih. Glejte, prišli bodo pri pečini Cic in našli jih boste na koncu potoka, pred jeruélsko divjino.
17 You need not fight this battle. Take up your positions, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out and face them tomorrow, for the LORD is with you.’”
V tej bitki se vam ne bo treba bojevati. Razpostavite se, stojte mirno in glejte rešitev duš Gospoda z vami, oh Juda in Jeruzalem. Ne bojte se niti ne bodite zaprepadeni. Jutri pojdite ven zoper njih, kajti Gospod bo z vami.‹«
18 Then Jehoshaphat bowed facedown, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell down before the LORD to worship Him.
Józafat je sklonil svojo glavo s svojim obrazom do tal in ves Juda in prebivalci Jeruzalema so padli pred Gospodom in oboževali Gospoda.
19 And the Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood up to praise the LORD, the God of Israel, shouting in a very loud voice.
Lévijevci izmed otrok Kehátovcev in izmed Kórahovcev so vstali, da hvalijo Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, s silno močnim glasom.
20 Early in the morning they got up and left for the Wilderness of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood up and said, “Hear me, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Believe in the LORD your God, and you will be upheld; believe in His prophets, and you will succeed.”
Zgodaj zjutraj so vstali ter odšli naprej v divjino Tekóe in ko so šli naprej se je Józafat ustavil in rekel: »Poslušajte me, oh Juda in vi, prebivalci Jeruzalema. Verjemite v Gospoda, svojega Boga, tako boste utrjeni; verjemite prerokom, tako boste uspeli.«
21 Then Jehoshaphat consulted with the people and appointed those who would sing to the LORD and praise the splendor of His holiness. As they went out before the army, they were singing: “Give thanks to the LORD, for His loving devotion endures forever.”
Ko se je posvetoval z ljudstvom, je določil pevce za Gospoda in ki naj bi hvalili lepoto svetosti, medtem ko bodo šli ven pred vojsko in govorili: »Hvalite Gospoda, kajti njegovo usmiljenje vztraja na veke.«
22 The moment they began their shouts and praises, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir who had come against Judah, and they were defeated.
Ko so začeli peti in hvaliti, je Gospod pripravil zasede zoper otroke Amóna, Moába in gorovje Seír, ki so prišli zoper Juda; in bili so udarjeni.
23 The Ammonites and Moabites rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, devoting them to destruction. And when they had made an end to the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.
Kajti otroci Amóna in Moába so se dvignili zoper prebivalce gorovja Seír, da jih popolnoma pobijejo in uničijo. In ko so prebivalcem Seíra storili konec, je vsakdo pomagal uničiti drugega.
24 When the men of Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked for the vast army, but there were only corpses lying on the ground; no one had escaped.
Ko je Juda prišel proti stražnemu stolpu v divjini, so pogledali k množici in glej, bili so trupla, padla na zemljo in nihče ni pobegnil.
25 Then Jehoshaphat and his people went to carry off the plunder, and they found on the bodies an abundance of goods and valuables —more than they could carry away. They were gathering the plunder for three days because there was so much.
Ko je Józafat in njegovo ljudstvo prišlo, da od njih poberejo plen, so med njimi našli v obilju tako bogastev s trupli, kakor dragocene dragulje, ki so jih pobrali zase, več kakor so lahko nesli in tam so bili tri dni pri pobiranju plena, toliko ga je bilo.
26 On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Beracah, where they blessed the LORD. Therefore that place is called the Valley of Beracah to this day.
Na četrti dan so se zbrali skupaj v dolini Berahá, kajti tam so blagoslovili Gospoda. Zato je bilo ime tega kraja imenovano dolina Berahá do današnjega dne.
27 Then all the men of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat at their head, returned joyfully to Jerusalem, for the LORD had made them rejoice over their enemies.
Potem so se vrnili, vsak človek iz Juda in Jeruzalema in Józafat na njihovem čelu, da gredo ponovno z radostjo v Jeruzalem, kajti Gospod jim je storil, da se veselijo nad svojimi sovražniki.
28 So they entered Jerusalem and went into the house of the LORD with harps, lyres, and trumpets.
V Jeruzalem so prišli s plunkami, harfami in trobentami h Gospodovi hiši.
29 And the fear of God came upon all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel.
Božji strah je bil na vseh kraljestvih tistih dežel, ko so slišali, da se je Gospod boril zoper Izraelove sovražnike.
30 Then Jehoshaphat’s kingdom was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side.
Tako je bilo Józafatovo kraljestvo mirno, kajti njegov Bog mu je naokoli dal počitek.
31 So Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
Józafat je kraljeval nad Judom. Petintrideset let je bil star, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval petindvajset let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Azúba, Šilhíjeva hči.
32 And Jehoshaphat walked in the way of his father Asa and did not turn away from it; he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD.
Hodil je po poti svojega očeta Asája in se ni oddvojil od nje in delal je to, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh.
33 The high places, however, were not removed; the people had not yet set their hearts on the God of their fathers.
Vendar visoki kraji niso bili odstranjeni, kajti do takrat ljudstvo svojih src še ni pripravilo k Bogu njihovih očetov.
34 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, from beginning to end, they are indeed written in the Chronicles of Jehu son of Hanani, which are recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel.
Torej preostala izmed Józafatovih dejanj, prva in zadnja, glej, ta so zapisana v knjigi Hananijevega sina Jehúja, ki je omenjen v knjigi Izraelovih kraljev.
35 Later, Jehoshaphat king of Judah made an alliance with Ahaziah king of Israel, who acted wickedly.
Potem je Judov kralj Józafat sebe pridružil Izraelovemu kralju Ahazjáju, ki je počel zelo zlobno.
36 They agreed to make ships to go to Tarshish, and these were built in Ezion-geber.
Pridružil se mu je, da izdelata ladje, da bi plule v Taršíš in ladje so izdelali v Ecjón Geberju.
37 Then Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works.” So the ships were wrecked and were unable to sail to Tarshish.
Potem je Dodavájev sin Eliézer iz Maréše prerokoval zoper Józafata, rekoč: »Ker si se pridružil Ahazjáju, je Gospod zlomil tvoja dela.« In ladje so bile razbite, da niso mogle pluti v Taršíš.
