< 2 Chronicles 16 >
1 Then, in the thirty-sixth year of his reign, Baasha, the king of Israel, ascended against Judah. And he encircled Ramah with a wall, so that no one could safely depart or enter from the kingdom of Asa.
Godine trideset šeste carovanja Asina izide Vasa car Izrailjev na Judu, i stade zidati Ramu da ne da nikomu otiæi k Asi caru Judinu ni od njega doæi.
2 Therefore, Asa brought forth silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the Lord, and from the treasuries of the king. And he sent to Benhadad, the king of Syria, who was living in Damascus, saying:
Tada uze Asa srebro i zlato iz riznica doma Gospodnjega i doma careva, i posla Ven-Adadu caru Sirskomu, koji življaše u Damasku, i poruèi:
3 “There is a pact between me and you. Also, my father and your father had an agreement. For this reason, I have sent silver and gold to you, so that you may break the pact that you have with Baasha, the king of Israel, and so that you may cause him to withdraw from me.”
Vjera je izmeðu mene i tebe, izmeðu oca mojega i oca tvojega, evo šaljem ti srebra i zlata, hajde, pokvari vjeru koju imaš s Vasom carem Izrailjevijem, eda bi otišao od mene.
4 And when he verified this, Benhadad sent the leaders of his armies to the cities of Israel. And they struck Ahion, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the walled cities of Naphtali.
I posluša Ven-Adad cara Asu, i posla vojvode svoje na gradove Izrailjeve, i osvojiše Ijon i Dan i Avel-Majim i sve gradove Neftalimove u kojima bijahu žitnice.
5 And when Baasha had heard of it, he ceased to build around Ramah, and he interrupted his work.
A kad Vasa to èu, presta zidati Ramu i ostavi djelo svoje.
6 Then king Asa took all of Judah, and they carried away from Ramah the stones and the wood that Baasha had prepared for the things to be built. And he built up Gibeah and Mizpah with them.
Tada car Asa uze sav narod Judin, te odnesoše kamenje iz Rame i drvo, èim zidaše Vasa, i od njega sazida Gavaju i Mispu.
7 In that time, the prophet Hanani went to Asa, the king of Judah, and he said to him: “Because you have faith in the king of Syria, and not in the Lord your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand.
A u to vrijeme doðe Ananije vidjelac k Asi caru Judinu i reèe mu: što si se pouzdao u cara Sirskoga a nijesi se pouzdao u Gospoda Boga svojega, zato se vojska cara Sirskoga izmaèe iz tvojih ruku.
8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Libyans much more numerous in chariots, and horsemen, and an exceedingly great multitude? Yet when you believed in the Lord, he delivered them into your hand.
Nijesu li Etiopljani i Luveji imali velike vojske s vrlo mnogo kola i konjika? pa kad si se pouzdao u Gospoda, dade ti ih u ruke.
9 For the eyes of the Lord contemplate the entire earth, and offer fortitude to those who believe in him with a perfect heart. And so, you acted foolishly. And so, because of this, from the present time wars shall rise up against you.”
Jer oèi Gospodnje gledaju po svoj zemlji da bi pokazivao silu svoju prema onima kojima je srce cijelo prema njemu. Ludo si u tom radio; zato æe otsele biti ratovi na te.
10 And Asa was angry against the seer, and he ordered him to be sent into prison. For indeed, he had been very indignant over this. And in that time, he put to death very many of the people.
Tada se Asa razgnjevi na proroka, i vrže ga u tamnicu, jer se rasrdi na nj za to; i potlaèi Asa neke iz naroda u to vrijeme.
11 But the works of Asa, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Ali gle, djela Asina, prva i pošljednja, eno zapisana su u knjizi o carevima Judinijem i Izrailjevijem.
12 And now Asa became ill, in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, with a very severe pain in his feet. And yet, in his infirmity, he did not seek the Lord. Instead, he trusted more in the skill of physicians.
I razbolje se Asa trideset devete godine carovanja svojega od nogu, i bolest njegova bi vrlo teška, ali ni u bolesti svojoj ne traži Gospoda nego ljekare.
13 And he slept with his fathers. And he died in the forty-first year of his reign.
I tako poèinu Asa kod otaca svojih, i umrije èetrdeset prve godine carovanja svojega.
14 And they buried him in his own sepulcher, which he had made for himself in the City of David. And they placed him upon his bed, full of the aromatics and ointments of courtesans, which were composed with the skill of the perfumers. And they burned these over him with very great ostentation.
I pogreboše ga u grobu njegovu, koji iskopa sebi u gradu Davidovu, i metnuše ga na postelju koju bješe napunio mirisavijeh stvari i masti zgotovljenijeh vještinom apotekarskom, i spališe mu ih vrlo mnogo.
