< Chronicles II 20 >

1 And after this came the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them [some] of the Minaeans, against Josaphat to battle.
A poslije toga sinovi Moavovi i sinovi Amonovi i s njima koji žive meðu sinovima Amonovijem, doðoše da vojuju na Josafata.
2 And they came and told Josaphat, saying, There is come against you a great multitude from Syria, from beyond the sea; and, behold, they are in Asasan Thamar, this is Engadi.
I doðoše te javiše Josafatu govoreæi: ide na te veliko mnoštvo ispreko mora, iz Sirije; i eno ih u Asason-Tamaru, a to je En-Gad.
3 And Josaphat was alarmed, and set his face to seek the Lord earnestly, and he proclaimed a fast in all Juda.
A Josafat se uplaši, i obrati lice svoje da traži Gospoda, i oglasi post po svoj zemlji Judinoj.
4 And Juda gathered themselves together to seek after the Lord: even from all the cities of Juda they came to seek the Lord.
I skupiše se svi sinovi Judini da traže Gospoda, i iz svijeh gradova Judinijeh doðoše da traže Gospoda.
5 And Josaphat stood up in the assembly of Juda in Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, in front of the new court.
Tada stade Josafat u zboru Judinu i Jerusalimskom u domu Gospodnjem pred trijemom novijem,
6 And he said, O Lord God of my fathers, are not you God in heaven above, and are not you Lord of all the kingdoms of the nations? and [is there] not in your hand the might of dominion, and there is no one who can resist you?
I reèe: Gospode Bože otaca naših! nijesi li ti Bog na nebu i vladaš svijem carstvima narodnijem? nije li u tvojoj ruci moæ i sila da ti niko ne može odoljeti?
7 Are not you the Lord that did destroy the inhabitants of this land before the face of your people Israel, and did give it to your beloved seed of Abraham for ever?
Nijesi li ti, Bože naš, odagnao stanovnike ove zemlje ispred naroda svojega Izrailja, i dao je navijek sjemenu Avrama prijatelja svojega?
8 And they lived in it, and built in it a sanctuary to your name, saying,
Te se naseliše u njoj, i sagradiše ti u njoj svetinju za ime tvoje govoreæi:
9 If there should come upon us evils, sword, judgement, pestilence, famine, we will stand before this house, and before you, (for your name [is] upon this house, ) and we will cry to you because of the affliction, and you shall hear, and deliver.
Kad nas zadesi kako zlo, maè osvetni ili pomor ili glad, staæemo pred ovijem domom i pred tobom, jer je ime tvoje u ovom domu, i vapiæemo tebi u nevolji svojoj, usliši i izbavi.
10 And now, behold, the children of Ammon, and Moab, and mount Seir, with regard to whom you did not permit Israel to pass through their border, when they had come out of the land of Egypt, (for they turned away from them, and did not destroy them; )—
A sad evo, sinovi Amonovi i Moavovi i oni iz gore Sira, kroz koje nijesi dao sinovima Izrailjevijem proæi kad iðahu iz zemlje Misirske, nego ih obidoše i ne istrijebiše;
11 yet now, behold, they make attempts against us, to come forth to cast us out from our inheritance which you gave us.
A evo, oni nam vraæaju došavši da nas istjeraju iz našljedstva tvojega, koje si nam predao.
12 O Lord our God, will you not judge them? for we have no strength to resist this great multitude that is come against us; and we know not what we shall do to them: but our eyes are towards you.
Bože naš, zar im neæeš suditi? jer u nama nema snage da se opremo tome mnoštvu velikom, koje ide na nas, niti mi znamo što bismo èinili, nego su oèi naše uprte u te.
13 And all Juda was standing before the Lord, and their children, and their wives.
A svi sinovi Judini stajahu pred Gospodom i djeca njihova, žene njihove i sinovi njihovi.
14 And Oziel the [son] of Zacharias, of the children of Banaias, of the sons of Eleiel, the sons of Matthanias the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, —upon him came the Spirit of the Lord in the assembly:
Tada siðe duh Gospodnji usred zbora na Jazila sina Zaharije sina Venaje sina Jeila sina Matanijina, Levita izmeðu sinova Asafovijeh,
15 and he said, Hear you, all Juda, and the dwellers in Jerusalem, and king Josaphat: Thus says the Lord to you, even you, Fear not, neither be alarmed, before all this great multitude; for the battle is not years, but God's.
I reèe: slušajte, svi sinovi Judini i Jerusalimljani, i ti care Josafate, ovako vam veli Gospod: ne bojte se i ne plašite se toga mnoštva velikoga, jer nije vaš rat nego Božji.
16 To-morrow go you down against them: behold, they come up by the ascent of Assis, and you shall find them at the extremity of the river of the wilderness of Jeriel.
Sjutra izidite na njih; oni æe poæi uz brdo Zis, i naæi æete ih nakraj potoka prema pustinji Jeruilu.
17 It is not for you to fight: understand these things, and see the deliverance of the Lord with you, Juda and Jerusalem: fear not, neither be afraid to go forth to-morrow to meet them; and the Lord shall be with you.
Ne treba vi da se bijete u ovom boju; postavite se, stojte pa gledajte kako æe vas izbaviti Gospod, Judo i Jerusalime! ne bojte se i ne plašite se, sjutra izidite pred njih, i Gospod æe biti s vama.
18 And Josaphat bowed with his face [to the ground] with all Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem, [and] they fell before the Lord to worship the Lord.
Tada se Josafat savi licem k zemlji, i svi Judejci i Jerusalimljani padoše pred Gospodom, i pokloniše se Gospodu.
19 And the Levites of the children of Caath, and [they] of the sons of Core, rose up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice on high.
A Leviti od sinova Katovijeh i sinova Korejevijeh ustaše, te hvališe Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva glasom veoma visokim.
20 And they rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Thecoe: and as they went out, Josaphat stood and cried, and said, Hear me, Juda, and the dwellers in Jerusalem; put your trust in the Lord God, and your trust shall be honoured; trust in his prophet, and you shall prosper.
A ujutru ustavši rano izidoše u pustinju Tekujsku; a kad izlažahu, stade Josafat i reèe: èujte me, Judejci i Jerusalimljani: vjerujte Gospodu Bogu svojemu i biæete jaki, vjerujte prorocima njegovijem i biæete sreæni.
21 And he took counsel with the people, and set appointed men to sing psalms and praises, to give thanks, and sing the holy songs of praise in going forth before the host: and they said, Give thanks to the Lord, for his mercy [endures] for ever.
I tako dogovoriv se s narodom postavi pjevaèe Gospodnje da hvale svetu krasotu iduæi pred vojskom i govoreæi: hvalite Gospoda, jer je dovijeka milost njegova.
22 And when they began the praise and thanksgiving, the Lord caused the children of Ammon to fight against Moab, and [the inhabitants of] mount Seir that came out against Juda; and they were routed.
A kad poèeše pjesmu i hvalu, obrati Gospod zasjedu na sinove Amonove i sinove Moavove i na one iz gore Sira, koji izidoše na Judu, te se razbiše.
23 Then the children of Ammon and Moab rose up against the dwellers in mount Seir, to destroy and consume them; and when they had made an end of [destroying] the inhabitants of Seir, they rose up against one another so that they were utterly destroyed.
Jer sinovi Amonovi i sinovi Moavovi ustaše na one iz gore Sira da ih pobiju i potru; i kad pobiše one iz gore Sira, udariše jedni na druge, te se potrše.
24 And Juda came to the watch-tower of the wilderness, and looked, and saw the multitude, and, behold, [they were] all fallen dead upon the earth, not one escaped.
A kad Juda doðe do stražare prema pustinji, i pogleda na mnoštvo, a to mrtva tjelesa leže po zemlji, i nijedan ne bješe ostao živ.
25 And Josaphat and his people went out to spoil them, and they found much cattle, and furniture, and spoils, and precious things: and they spoiled them, and they were three days gathering the spoil, for it was abundant.
Zato doðe Josafat sa narodom svojim da pokupe plijen; i naðoše kod njih mnogo blaga i dragocjenijeh nakita na mrtvacima, i naplijeniše da veæ ne mogoše nositi; tri dana kupiše plijen, jer ga bješe mnogo.
26 And it came to pass on the fourth day they were gathered to the Valley of Blessing; for there they blessed the Lord: therefore they called the name of the place the Valley of Blessing, until this day.
A èetvrti dan skupiše se u dolini blagoslovnoj, jer ondje blagosloviše Gospoda; zato se prozva mjesto dolina blagoslovna do danas.
27 And all the men of Juda returned to Jerusalem, and Josaphat led them with great joy; for the Lord gave them joy over their enemies.
Potom okrenuše svi Judejci i Jerusalimljani i Josafat pred njima da se vrate u Jerusalim s veseljem, jer ih oveseli Gospod neprijateljima njihovijem.
28 And they entered into Jerusalem with lutes and harps and trumpets, [going] into the house of the lord.
I doðoše u Jerusalim sa psaltirima i guslama i trubama u dom Gospodnji.
29 And there was a terror of the Lord upon all the kingdoms of the land, when they heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel.
I strah Božji doðe na sva carstva zemaljska kad èuše da je Gospod vojevao na neprijatelje Izrailjeve.
30 And the kingdom of Josaphat was at peace; and his God gave him rest round about.
I tako se smiri carstvo Josafatovo, jer mu Bog njegov dade mir otsvuda.
31 And Josaphat reigned over Juda, being thirty-five years [old] when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Azuba, daughter of Sali.
I carovaše Josafat nad Judom; trideset i pet godina bijaše mu kad poèe carovati; i carova dvadeset i pet godina u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Azuva, kæi Silejeva.
32 And he walked in the ways of his father Asa, and turned not aside from doing that which was right in the sight of the Lord.
I hoðaše putem oca svojega Ase, niti zaðe s njega, èineæi što je pravo pred Gospodom.
33 nevertheless the high places yet remained; and as yet the people did not direct their heart to the Lord God of their fathers.
Ali visine ne biše oborene, jer još ne bješe narod upravio srca svojega k Bogu otaca svojih.
34 And the rest of the acts of Josaphat, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Jeu [the son] of Anani, who wrote the book of the kings of Israel.
A ostala djela Josafatova prva i pošljednja, eno zapisana su u knjizi Juja sina Ananijeva, koja je stavljena u knjigu o carevima Izrailjevijem.
35 And afterwards Josaphat king of Juda entered into an alliance with Ochozias king of Israel, (now this was an unrighteous man, )
Potom združi se Josafat car Judin s Ohozijom carem Izrailjevijem, koji èinjaše bezakonja.
36 by acting [with] and going to him, to build ships to go to Tharsis: and he built ships in Gasion Gaber.
A združi se s njim zato da naèine laðe da idu u Tarsis; i naèiniše laðe u Esion-Gaveru.
37 And Eliezer you [son] of Dodia of Marisa prophesied against Josaphat, saying, Forasmuch as you have allied yourself with Ochozias, the Lord has broken your work, and your vessels have been wrecked. And they could not go to Tharsis.
Tada prorokova Elijezer sin Dodavin iz Marise za Josafata govoreæi: što si se združio s Ohozijom, zato Gospod razmetnu djela tvoja. I razbiše se laðe i ne mogoše iæi u Tarsis.
