2 Chronicles 20
1 And it came to pass after this [that] the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them certain of the Maonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
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 And they came and told Jehoshaphat saying, A great multitude is come against thee from beyond the sea, from Syria; and behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar, which is Engedi.
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 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek Jehovah, and proclaimed a fast throughout Judah.
Józafat se je zbal in se pripravil, da išče Gospoda in je po vsem Judu razglasil post.
4 And Judah gathered themselves together to ask [help] of Jehovah: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek Jehovah.
Juda se je zbral skupaj, da prosi pomoč od Gospoda. Celo iz vseh Judovih mest so prišli, da iščejo Gospoda.
5 And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Jehovah, before the new court;
Józafat je stal v skupnosti Judovcev in Jeruzalemcev, v Gospodovi hiši, pred novim dvorom
6 and he said, Jehovah, God of our fathers, art not thou God in the heavens, and rulest thou not over all the kingdoms of the nations? And in thy hand there is power and might, and none can withstand thee.
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 Hast not thou, our God, dispossessed the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and given it for ever to the seed of Abraham, thy 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 And they have dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,
In oni prebivajo v njej in so ti v njej zgradili svetišče za tvoje ime, rekoč:
9 If evil come upon us, sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, and we stand before this house and before thee — for thy name is in this house — and cry unto thee in our distress, then thou wilt hear and save.
›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, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab, and those of mount Seir, amongst whom thou wouldest not let Israel go when they came out of the land of Egypt, (for they turned from them, and destroyed them not, )
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 behold, they reward us, in coming to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to possess.
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, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might in presence of this great company which cometh against us, neither know we what to do; but our eyes are upon thee.
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 And all Judah stood before Jehovah, with their little ones, their wives, and their sons.
Ves Juda je stal pred Gospodom s svojimi malčki, svojimi ženami in svojimi otroki.
14 And upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, upon him came the Spirit of Jehovah, in the midst of the congregation;
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, Be attentive, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat! Thus saith Jehovah unto you: Fear not, nor be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.
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 To-morrow go down against them: behold, they come up by the ascent of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the valley, before 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 Ye shall not have to fight on this occasion: set yourselves, stand and see the salvation of Jehovah [who is] with you! Judah and Jerusalem, fear not nor be dismayed; to-morrow go out against them, and Jehovah will be 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 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Jehovah, worshipping Jehovah.
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, of the sons of the Kohathites, and of the sons of the Korahites, stood up to praise Jehovah the God of Israel with an exceeding loud voice.
Lévijevci izmed otrok Kehátovcev in izmed Kórahovcev so vstali, da hvalijo Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, s silno močnim glasom.
20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth towards the wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in Jehovah your God, and ye shall be established; believe his prophets, and ye shall prosper!
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 And he consulted with the people, and appointed singers to Jehovah, and those that should praise in holy splendour, as they went forth before the armed men, and say, Give thanks to Jehovah; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever!
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 And when they began the song of triumph and praise, Jehovah set liers-in-wait against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, who had come against Judah, and they were smitten.
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 And the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to exterminate and destroy [them]; and when they had made an end of 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 And Judah came on to the mountain-watch in the wilderness, and they looked toward the multitude; and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none 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 And Jehoshaphat and his people came to plunder the spoil of them, and they found among them in abundance, both riches with the dead bodies, and precious things, and they stripped off for themselves more than they could carry away; and they were three days in plundering the spoil, it 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 And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah, for there they blessed Jehovah; therefore the name of that place was called The valley of Berachah, 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 And they returned, all the men of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat at their head, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for Jehovah had made them to 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 And they came to Jerusalem with lutes and harps and trumpets, to the house of Jehovah.
V Jeruzalem so prišli s plunkami, harfami in trobentami h Gospodovi hiši.
29 And the terror of God was on all the kingdoms of the lands, when they had heard that Jehovah 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 And the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; and his God gave him rest round about.
Tako je bilo Józafatovo kraljestvo mirno, kajti njegov Bog mu je naokoli dal počitek.
31 And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem; and 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 he walked in the way of Asa his father, and turned not aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of Jehovah.
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 Only, the high places were not removed; and as yet the people had not directed their hearts to 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 And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the words of Jehu the son of Hanani, which are inserted 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 And after this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly.
Potem je Judov kralj Józafat sebe pridružil Izraelovemu kralju Ahazjáju, ki je počel zelo zlobno.
36 And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish; and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.
Pridružil se mu je, da izdelata ladje, da bi plule v Taršíš in ladje so izdelali v Ecjón Geberju.
37 And Eliezer the son of Dodavah, of Mareshah, prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, Jehovah has broken thy works. And the ships were broken, and could not go 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.
