2 Chronicles 15
1 Then the Spirite of God came vpon Azariah the sonne of Obed.
Tada duh Božji dođe na Odedova sina Azarju.
2 And he went out to meete Asa, and said vnto him, O Asa, and all Iudah, and Beniamin, heare ye me. The Lord is with you, while ye be with him: and if ye seeke him, he wil be founde of you, but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
On je izišao pred Asu i rekao mu: “Čujte me, Asa i sve Judino i Benjaminovo pleme! Jahve je s vama jer ste vi s njime; i ako ga budete tražili, naći ćete ga; ako li ga ostavite, i on će ostaviti vas.
3 Nowe for a long season Israel hath bene without the true God, and without Priest to teach and without Lawe.
Dugo su Izraelci bili bez pravoga Boga i bez svećenika-učitelja i bez Zakona.
4 But whosoeuer returned in his affliction to the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was founde of them.
Kad su se u nevolji obratili Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu, i stali ga tražiti, našli su ga.
5 And in that time there was no peace to him, that did goe out and goe in: but great troubles were to all the inhabitants of the earth.
U ona vremena nitko nije mogao na miru ni izlaziti ni dolaziti, jer su veliki nemiri vladali među svim zemaljskim stanovnicima.
6 For nation was destroyed of nation, and citie of citie: for God troubled them with all aduersitie.
Udarao je narod na narod, grad na grad, jer ih je Jahve smeo svakojakom nevoljom.
7 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your handes be weake: for your worke shall haue a rewarde.
Ali vi budite hrabri i neka vam ne klonu ruke, jer ima nagrada za vaša djela.”
8 And when Asa heard these wordes, and the prophesie of Obed the Prophet, he was encouraged, and tooke away the abominations out of all the lande of Iudah, and Beniamin, and out of the cities which he had taken of mount Ephraim, and he renued the altar of the Lord, that was before the porche of the Lord.
Čuvši te riječi i proročku besjedu proroka Odeda, Asa se ohrabri i ukloni idolske gadove iz cijele Judine i Benjaminove zemlje i iz gradova koje je bio osvojio u Efrajimovoj gori. Obnovio je i Jahvin žrtvenik koji je bio pred Jahvinim trijemom.
9 And he gathered all Iudah and Beniamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for there fell many to him out of Israel, when they sawe that the Lord his God was with him.
Onda je skupio sve Judino i Benjaminovo pleme i došljake koji su bili kod njih od Efrajimova, Manašeova i Šimunova plemena, jer ih je mnogo prebjeglo k njemu od Izraelaca kad su vidjeli da je s njim Jahve, njegov Bog.
10 So they assembled to Ierusalem in the third moneth, in the fifteenth yere of the reigne of Asa.
I skupili su se u Jeruzalemu trećega mjeseca petnaeste godine Asina kraljevanja.
11 And they offred vnto the Lord the same time of the spoyle, which they had brought, euen seuen hundreth bullockes, and seuen thousande sheepe.
Onoga su dana prinijeli Jahvi žrtve od plijena koji su dognali, sedam stotina goveda i sedam tisuća sitne stoke.
12 And they made a couenant to seeke the Lord God of their fathers, with all their heart, and with all their soule.
Zavjetovaše se da će tražiti Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca, svim srcem i svom dušom.
13 And whosoeuer will not seeke the Lord God of Israel, shalbe slaine, whether he were small or great, man or woman.
A tko god ne bi tražio Jahvu, Izraelova Boga, da se pogubi, bio malen ili velik, čovjek ili žena.
14 And they sware vnto the Lord with a loude voyce, and with shouting and with trumpets, and with cornets.
Zakleli su se Jahvi iza glasa i uz gromki poklik, uz trube i rogove.
15 And all Iudah reioyced at the othe: for they had sworne vnto the Lord with all their heart, and sought him with a whole desire, and he was founde of them. And the Lord gaue them rest rounde about.
Svi su se Judejci radovali zbog te zakletve jer su se iz svega srca zakleli i od sve su ga svoje volje tražili i našli ga. Jahve im je dao mir odasvud uokolo.
16 And King Asa deposed Maachah his mother from her regencie, because she had made an idole in a groue: and Asa brake downe her idole, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brooke Kidron.
I svoju mater Maaku ukloni kralj Asa s vlasti jer je bila načinila gada Ašeri. Asa je sasjekao njezina gada, satro ga i spalio u potoku Kidronu.
17 But the hie places were not taken away out of Israel: yet the heart of Asa was perfit all his dayes.
Ali uzvišice nisu bile uklonjene iz Izraela. Ipak je Asino srce bilo privrženo Jahvi svega njegova života.
18 Also he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicate, and that he had dedicate, siluer, and golde, and vessels.
Unio je u Dom Božji posvećene darove svoga oca i svoje: srebro i zlato i posuđe.
19 And there was no warre vnto the fiue and thirtieth yeere of the reigne of Asa.
Nije bilo rata sve do trideset i pete godine Asina kraljevanja.
