Chronicles II 14

1 And Abia died with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In the days of Asa the land of Juda had rest ten years.

A kad poèinu Avija kod otaca svojih i pogreboše ga u gradu Davidovu, zacari se na njegovo mjesto Asa sin njegov. Za njegova vremena poèinu zemlja deset godina.

2 And he did that which was good and right in the sight of the Lord his God.

I èinjaše Asa što je dobro i pravo pred Gospodom Bogom njegovijem.

3 And he removed the altars of the strange [gods], and the high places, and broke the pillars in pieces, and cut down the groves:

Jer obori oltare tuðe i visine, i izlomi likove njihove i isijeèe lugove njihove.

4 and he told Juda to seek earnestly the Lord God of their fathers, and to perform the law and commandments.

I zapovjedi sinovima Judinijem da traže Gospoda Boga otaca svojih i da izvršuju zakon i zapovijest njegovu.

5 And he removed from all the cities of Juda the altars and the idols, and established in quietness

Obori po svijem gradovima Judinijem visine i sunèane likove, i poèinu carstvo za njegova vremena.

6 fortified cities in the land of Juda; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in these years; for the Lord gave him rest.

I sazida tvrde gradove u zemlji Judinoj, jer zemlja bijaše u miru, niti bješe rata s njim onijeh godina, jer mu Gospod dade mir.

7 And he said to Juda, Let us fortify these cities, and make walls, and towers, and gates, and bars: we shall prevail over the land, for as we have sought out the Lord our God, he has sought out us, and has given us rest round about, and prospered us.

I reèe Judi: da sazidamo ove gradove i da ih opašemo zidom i kulama i vratima i prijevornicama, dok je zemlja naša; jer tražismo Gospoda Boga svojega, tražismo ga i dade nam mir otsvuda. I tako zidaše, i biše sreæni.

8 And Asa had a force of armed men bearing shields and spears in the land of Juda, [even] three hundred thousand, and in the land of Benjamin two hundred and eighty thousand targeteers and archers: all these were mighty warriors.

I imaše Asa vojske trista tisuæa od Jude sa štitovima i kopljima, a od Venijamina dvjesta i osamdeset tisuæa sa štitovima i lukovima. Svi bijahu hrabri vojnici.

9 And Zare the Ethiopian went out against them, with a force of a million, and three hundred chariots; and came to Maresa.

I izide na njih Zara Etiopljanin s tisuæu tisuæa vojske i s trista kola, i doðe do Marise.

10 And Asa went out to meet him, and set the battle in array in the valley north of Maresa.

I Asa izide preda nj; i uvrstaše se vojske u dolini Sefati kod Marise.

11 And Asa cried to the Lord his God, and said, O Lord, it is not impossible with you to save by many or by few: strengthen us, O Lord our God; for we trust in you, and in your name have we come against this great multitude. O Lord our God, let not man prevail against you.

I zavapi Asa ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu govoreæi: Gospode, tebi je ništa pomoæi množini ili nejakomu; pomozi nam, Gospode Bože naš, jer se u te uzdamo, i u tvoje ime doðosmo na ovo mnoštvo. Gospode, ti si Bog naš, ne daj da može što na te èovjek.

12 And the Lord struck the Ethiopians before Juda; and the Ethiopians fled.

I razbi Gospod Etiopljane pred Asom i pred Judom, i pobjegoše Etiopljani.

13 And Asa and his people pursued them to Gedor; and the Ethiopians fell, so that they could not recover themselves; for they were crushed before the Lord, and before his host; and they took many spoils.

I tjera ih Asa i narod koji bijaše s njim dori do Gerara. I popadaše Etiopljani da ih nijedan ne osta živ, jer se satrše pred Gospodom i pred vojskom njegovom; i oni odnesoše plijen velik veoma.

14 And they destroyed their towns roundabout Gedor; for a terror of the Lord was upon them: and they spoiled all their cities, for they had much spoil.

I pobiše sve gradove oko Gerara, jer doðe na njih strah Gospodnji, i oplijeniše sve one gradove, jer bijaše u njima mnogo plijena.

15 Also they destroyed the tents of cattle, and the Alimazons, and took many sheep and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.

Pobiše i po stanovima pastirskim ljude, i odvedoše mnogo ovaca i kamila; i vratiše se u Jerusalim.
