2 Chronicles 16
1 In the thirty-sixth year of the rule of Asa, Baasha, king of Israel, went up against Judah, building Ramah so that no one was able to go out or in to Asa, king of Judah.
V šestintridesetem letu Asájevega kraljevanja je zoper Juda prišel Izraelov kralj Bašá in gradil Ramo z namenom, da nikomer ne bi dovolil iti ven ali priti noter k Judovemu kralju Asáju.
2 Then Asa took silver and gold out of the stores of the Lord's house and of the king's store-house, and sent to Ben-hadad, king of Aram, at Damascus, saying,
Potem je Asá prinesel ven srebro in zlato iz zakladnic Gospodove hiše in kraljeve hiše ter poslal k sirskemu kralju Ben Hadádu, ki je prebival v Damasku, rekoč:
3 Let there be an agreement between me and you as there was between my father and your father: see, I have sent you silver and gold; go and put an end to your agreement with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he may give up attacking me.
»Zaveza je med menoj in teboj, kakor je bila med mojim očetom in tvojim očetom. Glej, poslal sem ti srebro in zlato; pojdi in prelomi svojo zavezo z Izraelovim kraljem Bašájem, da lahko odide od mene.«
4 And Ben-hadad did as King Asa said, and sent the captains of his armies against the towns of Israel, attacking Ijon and Dan and Abel-maim, and all the store-towns of Naphtali.
Ben Hadád je prisluhnil kralju Asáju in poslal poveljnike svoje vojske zoper Izraelova mesta in udarili so Ijón, Dan, Abél Majim in vsa Neftálijeva skladiščna mesta.
5 Then Baasha, hearing of it, put a stop to the building of Ramah, and let his work come to an end.
Pripetilo se je, ko je Bašá to slišal, da je prenehal graditi Ramo in opustil svoje delo.
6 Then King Asa, with all Judah, took away the stones and wood with which Baasha was building Ramah, and he made use of them for building Geba and Mizpah.
Potem je kralj Asá vzel vsega Juda in odnesli so proč kamenje iz Rame in njen les, s katerim je Bašá gradil; s tem je gradil Gebo in Micpo.
7 At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa, king of Judah, and said to him, Because you have put your faith in the king of Aram and not in the Lord your God, the army of the king of Aram has got away out of your hands.
Ob tistem času je k Judovemu kralju Asáju prišel videc Hananí in mu rekel: »Ker si se zanašal na sirskega kralja in se nisi zanesel na Gospoda, svojega Boga, zato je vojska sirskega kralja pobegnila iz tvoje roke.
8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim a very great army, with war-carriages and horsemen more than might be numbered? but because your faith was in the Lord, he gave them up into your hands.
Mar niso bili Etiopijci in Libijci ogromna vojska z mnogimi bojnimi vozovi in konjeniki? Vendar ker si se zanesel na Gospoda, jih je izročil v tvojo roko.
9 For the eyes of the Lord go this way and that, through all the earth, letting it be seen that he is the strong support of those whose hearts are true to him. In this you have done foolishly, for from now you will have wars.
Kajti Gospodove oči tekajo sem ter tja po vsej celotni zemlji, da se izkaže močnega v korist tistih, katerih srce je popolno do njega. V tem si storil nespametno, zato boš od sedaj naprej imel vojne.
10 Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in prison, burning with wrath against him because of this thing. And at the same time Asa was cruel to some of the people.
Potem je bil Asá ogorčen nad vidcem in ga vrgel v jetnišnico, kajti zaradi te stvari je bil ogorčen nanj. In Asá je isti čas zatiral nekatere izmed ljudstva.
11 Now the acts of Asa, first and last, are recorded in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Glej, dejanja Asája, prva in zadnja, glej, ta so zapisana v knjigi Judovih in Izraelovih kraljev.
12 In the thirty-ninth year of his rule, Asa had a very bad disease of the feet; but he did not go to the Lord for help in his disease, but to medical men.
Asá je bil v devetintridesetem letu svojega kraljevanja bolan na svojih stopalih, dokler ni bila njegova bolezen silno velika, vendar se v svoji bolezni ni obrnil h Gospodu, temveč k zdravnikom.
13 So Asa went to rest with his fathers, and death came to him in the forty-first year of his rule.
Asá je zaspal s svojimi očeti in umrl v enainštiridesetem letu svojega kraljevanja.
14 And they put him into the resting-place which he had made for himself in the town of David, in a bed full of sweet perfumes of all sorts of spices, made by the perfumer's art, and they made a great burning for him.
Pokopali so ga v njegovih lastnih mavzolejih, ki si jih je naredil zase v Davidovem mestu in ga položili v posteljo, ki je bila napolnjena s prijetnimi dišavami in različnimi vrstami dišav, pripravljenih po lekarnarski umetnosti. Zanj so naredili zelo velik sežig [dišav].
