2 Chronicles 14
1 So Abiiah slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid, and Asa his sonne reigned in his steade: in whose dayes the lande was quiet ten yeere.
Tako je Abíja zaspal s svojimi očeti in pokopali so ga v Davidovem mestu. Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Asá. V njegovih dneh je bila dežela mirna deset let.
2 And Asa did that was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God.
Asá je počel to, kar je bilo dobro in pravilno v očeh Gospoda, njegovega Boga,
3 For he tooke away the altars of the strange gods and the hie places, and brake downe the images, and cut downe the groues,
kajti odstranil je oltarje tujih bogov, visoke kraje, porušil podobe in posekal ašere.
4 And commanded Iudah to seeke the Lord God of their fathers, and to doe according to the Lawe and the comandement.
Judu je zapovedal, naj išče Gospoda, Boga njihovih očetov in naj izpolnjuje postavo in zapoved.
5 And he tooke away out of all the cities of Iudah the hie places, and the images: therefore the kingdome was quiet before him.
Prav tako je iz vseh Judovih mest odstranil visoke kraje in podobe in kraljestvo je bilo pred njim mirno.
6 He built also strong cities in Iudah, because the lande was in rest, and he had no warre in those yeeres: for the Lord had giuen him rest.
V Judu je zgradil utrjena mesta, kajti dežela je imela počitek in v tistih letih ni imel nobene vojne, ker mu je Gospod dal počitek.
7 Therefore he saide to Iudah, Let vs builde these cities and make walles about, and towers, gates, and barres, whiles the lande is before vs: because we haue sought the Lord our God, we haue sought him, and he hath giuen vs rest on euery side: so they built and prospered.
Zato je Judu rekel: »Gradimo ta mesta in okrog njih postavimo obzidja, stolpe, velika vrata in zapahe, medtem ko je dežela še pred nami, ker smo iskali Gospoda, svojega Boga. Iskali smo ga in on nam je dal počitek na vsaki strani.« Tako so gradili in bili uspešni.
8 And Asa had an armie of Iudah that bare shieldes and speares, three hundreth thousande, and of Beniamin that bare shieldes and drewe bowes, two hundreth and foure score thousande: all these were valiant men.
Asá je imel vojsko mož, ki so nosili okrogle ščite in sulice, iz Juda tristo tisoč in iz Benjamina, ki so nosili ščite in napenjali loke, dvesto osemdeset tisoč. Vsi ti so bili močni junaški možje.
9 And there came out against them Zerah of Ethiopia with an hoste of ten hundreth thousande, and three hundreth charets, and came vnto Mareshah.
Zoper njih je prišel Etiopijec Zerah z milijonsko vojsko in tristo bojnimi vozmi in prišel do Mareše.
10 Then Asa went out before him, and they set the battell in aray in the valley of Zephathah beside Mareshah.
Potem je Asá odšel ven zoper njega in postrojil so se v dolini Cefáti pri Mareši.
11 And Asa cryed vnto the Lord his God, and saide, Lord, it is nothing with thee to helpe with many, or with no power: helpe vs, O Lord our God: for we rest on thee, and in thy Name are we come against this multitude: O Lord, thou art our God, let not man preuaile against thee.
Asá je klical h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu in rekel: » Gospod, to zate ni nič, da pomagaš, bodisi z mnogimi ali s tistimi, ki nimajo moči. Pomagaj nam, oh Gospod, naš Bog, kajti nate se zanašamo in v tvojem imenu gremo zoper to množico. Oh Gospod, ti si naš Bog, naj človek ne prevlada zoper tebe.«
12 So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Iudah, and the Ethiopians fled.
Tako je Gospod udaril Etiopijce pred Asájem in pred Judom in Etiopijci so pobegnili.
13 And Asa and the people that was with him, pursued them vnto Gerar. And the Ethiopians hoste was ouerthrowen, so that there was no life in them: for they were destroyed before the Lord and before his hoste: and they caryed away a mightie great spoyle.
Asá in ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, so jih preganjali do Gerárja in Etiopijci so bili premagani, da si niso več opomogli, kajti bili so uničeni pred Gospodom in njegovo vojsko in odnesli so zelo veliko plena.
14 And they smote all the cities rounde about Gerar: for the feare of the Lord came vpon them, and they spoyled all the cities, for there was exceeding much spoyle in them.
Udarili so vsa mesta naokoli Gerárja, kajti Gospodov strah je prišel nanje. Oplenili so vsa mesta, kajti v njih je bilo silno veliko plena.
15 Yea, and they smote the tents of cattel, and carried away plentie of sheepe and camels, and returned to Ierusalem.
Udarili so tudi šotore živine in odvedli proč ovc in kamel v obilju ter se vrnili v Jeruzalem.
