2 Chronicles 25
1 Amasias was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem, the name of his mother was Joadan of Jerusalem.
Amasji je bilo dvadeset i pet godina kad se zakraljio; kraljevao je dvadeset i devet godina u Jeruzalemu. Mati mu se zvala Joadana i bila je iz Jeruzalema.
2 And he did what was good in the sight of the Lord: but yet not with a perfect heart.
Činio je što je pravo u Jahvinim očima, ali ne svim srcem.
3 And when he saw himself strengthened in his kingdom, he put to death the servants that had slain the king his father.
Kad je učvrstio kraljevstvo, pogubio je časnike koji su ubili kralja, njegova oca.
4 But he slew not their children, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be slain for the children, nor the children for their fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
Ali im sinova nije pogubio, prema onome što je napisano u knjizi Zakona Mojsijeva, gdje Jahve zapovijeda: “Neka se očevi ne pogubljuju za sinove, ni sinovi za očeve, nego svatko neka gine za svoj grijeh.”
5 Amasias therefore gathered Juda together, and appointed them by families, and captains of thousands and of hundreds in all Juda, and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found three hundred thousand young men that could go out to battle, and could hold the spear and shield.
Potom Amasja skupi Judejce i svega Judu i Benjamina, razvrsta ih prema obiteljima, tisućnicima i satnicima. Pošto popisa od dvadeset godina naviše, nađe trista tisuća izabranih momaka za vojsku, vičnih koplju i štitu.
6 He hired also of Israel a hundred thousand valiant men, for a hundred talents of silver.
Među Izraelcima najmi sto tisuća hrabrih junaka za sto srebrnih talenata.
7 But a man of God came to him, and said: O king, let not the army of Israel go out with thee, for the Lord is not with Israel, and all the children of Ephraim:
Ali k njemu dođe čovjek Božji i reče: “Kralju, neka ne ide s tobom izraelska vojska, jer Jahve nije s Izraelcima ni s Efrajimovim sinovima,
8 And if thou think that battles consist in the strength of the army, God will make thee to be overcome by the enemies: for it belongeth to God both to help, and to put to flight.
nego idi ti sam, ponesi se junački u boju; inače će te oboriti Bog pred neprijateljem, jer Bog može pomoći i oboriti.”
9 And Amasias said to the man of God: What will then become of the hundred talents which I have given to the soldiers of Israeli and the man of God answered him: The Lord is rich enough to be able to give thee much more than this.
Tada Amasja upita čovjeka Božjeg: “A što će biti od sto talenata koje sam dao izraelskim četama?” Božji čovjek odgovori: “Jahve ima da ti dade više od toga.”
10 Then Amasias separated the army, that came to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: but they being much enraged against Juda, returned to their own country.
Tada Amasja odvoji čete koje mu bijahu došle od Efrajima, da se vrate u svoje mjesto. Ali se vojnici razgnjeviše na Judejce i vratiše se u svoje mjesto plamteći od srdžbe.
11 And Amasias taking courage led forth his people, and went to the vale of saltpits, and slew of the children of Seir ten thousand.
A Amasja, ohrabriv se, povede narod, ode u Slanu dolinu i pobi deset tisuća seirskih sinova.
12 And other ten thousand men the sons of Juda took, and brought to the steep of a certain rock, and cast them down headlong from the top, and they all were broken to pieces.
Judini su sinovi zarobili deset tisuća živih, odveli ih na vrh hridi te ih pobacali, tako da se svi razmrskaše.
13 But that army which Amasias had sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, spread themselves among the cities of Juda, from Samaria to Beth-horon, and having killed three thousand took away much spoil.
Četa koju je Amasja poslao natrag da ne ide s njima u boj harala je po judejskim gradovima od Samarije pa do Bet Horona i pobila u njima tri tisuće ljudi i naplijenila silan plijen.
14 But Amasias after he had slain the Edomites, set up the gods of the children of Seir, which he had brought thence, to be his gods, and adored them, and burnt incense to them.
Poslije toga, kad se Amasja vratio razbivši Edomce, donio je bogove seirskih sinova, postavio ih sebi za bogove i počeo im se klanjati i kaditi im.
15 Wherefore the Lord being angry against Amasias, sent a prophet to him, to say to him: Why hast thou adored gods that have not delivered their own people out of thy hand?
Tada se Jahve razgnjevi na Amasju i posla k njemu proroka koji ga upita: “Zašto tražiš bogove toga naroda koji nisu izbavili svoga naroda iz tvoje ruke?”
16 And when he spoke these things, he answered him: Art thou the king’s counsellor? be quiet, lest I kill thee. And the prophet departing, said: I know that God is minded to kill thee, because thou hast done this evil, and moreover hast not hearkened to my counsel.
Dok je on to govorio, kralj ga upita: “Jesi li postavljen kralju za savjetnika? Prestani! Zašto da te pogube?” Tada prorok ušutje, ali nadoda: “Znam da te Bog odlučio uništiti kad to činiš a ne slušaš mojega savjeta.”
17 Then Amasias king of Juda taking very bad counsel, sent to Joas the son of Joachaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying: Come, let us see one another.
Tada judejski kralj Amasja smisli i poruči izraelskom kralju Joašu, sinu Jehuova sina Joahaza: “Dođi da se ogledamo!”
18 But he sent back the messengers, saying: The thistle that is in Libanus, sent to the cedar in Libanus, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and behold the beasts that were in the wood of Libanus passed by, and trod down the thistle.
A izraelski kralj Joaš odvrati judejskom kralju Amasji: “Libanonski je trn jedanput poslao glasnike k libanonskom cedru i poručio: 'Daj kćer mome sinu za ženu', ali su divlje zvijeri libanonske prošle i trn izgazile.
19 Thou hast said: I have overthrown Edom, and therefore thy heart is lifted up with pride: stay at home, why dost thou provoke evil against thee, that both thou shouldst fall and Juda with thee.
Potukao si Edomce, pa ti se srce uzobijestilo i tražiš slavu. Radije ostani kod kuće. Zašto izazivaš zlo i hoćeš da padneš i ti i svi Judejci s tobom?”
20 Amasias would not hearken to him, because it was the Lord’s will that he should be delivered into the hands of enemies, because of the gods of Edom.
Ali Amasja ne posluša, jer tako bijaše odredio Bog, da ih preda u ruke Joašu zato što su pristali uz edomske bogove.
21 So Joas king of Israel went up, and they presented themselves to be seen by one another: and Amasias king of Juda was in Bethsames of Juda:
Izađe izraelski kralj Joaš te se ogledaše u boju on i judejski kralj Amasja u Bet Šemešu u Judeji.
22 And Juda fell before Israel and they fled to their dwellings.
Izraelci poraziše Judejce i oni pobjegoše pod svoj šator.
23 And Joas king of Israel took Amasias king of Juda, the son of Joas, the son Joachaz, in Bethsames, and brought him to Jerusalem: and broke down the walls thereof from the gate of Ephraim, to the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits.
Izraelski kralj Joaš uhvati u Bet Šemešu judejskog kralja Amasju, sina Joaševa, sina Joahazova, i odvede ga u Jeruzalem; onda sruši jeruzalemski zid od Efrajimovih vrata do Ugaonih vrata, u dužini od četiri stotine lakata.
24 And he took all the gold, and silver, and all the vessels, that he found in the house of God, and with Obededom, and in the treasures of the king’s house, moreover also the sons of the hostages, he brought back to Samaria.
Uzevši sve zlato, srebro i posuđe što se nalazilo u Domu Božjem kod Obed Edoma i u riznici kraljevskog dvora, povrh toga i taoce, vrati se u Samariju.
25 And Amasias the son of Joas king of Juda lived, after the death of Joas the son of Joachaz king of Israel, fifteen years.
Judejski je kralj Amasja, Joašev sin, živio još petnaest godina poslije smrti izraelskoga kralja Joaša, Joahazova sina.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Amasias, the first and last, are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
Ostala Amasjina djela, od prvih do posljednjih, zapisana su u Knjizi o judejskim i izraelskim kraljevima.
27 And after he revolted from the Lord, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled into Lachis, and they sent, and killed him there.
Otkako je Amasja ostavio Jahvu, kovala se protiv njega urota u Jeruzalemu. Iako je pobjegao u Lakiš, poslaše za njim u Lakiš ljude koji ga ondje ubiše.
28 And they brought him back upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of David.
Odande su ga prenijeli na konjima i sahranili kraj njegovih otaca u Judinu gradu.
