2 Chronicles 20
1 After this also came the children of Moab and the children of Ammon, and with them of the Ammonites against Iehoshaphat to battell.
Poslije toga Moabovi i Amonovi sinovi, a s njima i neki od Meunjana, zaratiše na Jošafata.
2 Then there came that tolde Iehoshaphat, saying, There commeth a great multitude against thee from beyonde the Sea, out of Aram: and beholde, they bee in Hazzon Tamar, which is En-gedi.
Ali Jošafat dobi ovu vijest: “Dolazi na te veliko mnoštvo s one strane mora, iz Edoma; i eno ga u Haseson Tamaru, to jest u En Gediju.”
3 And Iehoshaphat feared, and set him selfe to seeke the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Iudah.
Jošafat se uplaši i stade tražiti Jahvu te oglasi post po svoj Judeji.
4 And Iudah gathered them selues together to aske counsel of the Lord: they came euen out of all the cities of Iudah to inquire of the Lord,
Skupili se Judejci da traže Jahvu: dolazili iz svih judejskih gradova da ga traže.
5 And Iehoshaphat stoode in the Congregation of Iudah and Ierusalem in the house of the Lord before the new court,
Tada Jošafat ustade u judejskom zboru u Jeruzalemu, u Domu Jahvinu, pred novim predvorjem
6 And saide, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heauen? and reignest not thou on all the kingdomes of the heathen? and in thine hande is power and might, and none is able to withstand thee.
i reče: “Jahve, Bože otaca naših, ti si Bog na nebu i vladaš nad svim krivobožačkim kraljevstvima. U tvojoj je ruci takva sila i jakost da se nitko ne može održati pred tobom.
7 Diddest not thou our God cast out ye inhabitants of this lande before thy people Israel, and gauest it to the seede of Abraham thy friende for euer?
Ti si, o Bože naš, istjerao stanovnike ove zemlje pred svojim izraelskim narodom i dao je zasvagda potomstvu svoga prijatelja Abrahama;
8 And they dwelt therein, and haue built thee a Sanctuarie therein for thy Name, saying,
i nastanili su se u njoj i sagradili u njoj Svetište tvojem Imenu govoreći:
9 If euill come vpon vs, as the sworde of iudgement, or pestilence, or famine, we will stande before this house and in thy presence (for thy name is in this house) and will crie vnto thee in our tribulation, and thou wilt heare and helpe.
'Kad navali na nas kakvo zlo, osvetni mač ili kuga, ili glad, te kad stanemo pred ovim Domom i pred tobom, jer je tvoje Ime u ovom Domu, i zavapimo k tebi iz svoje nevolje, usliši nas i spasi.'
10 And now beholde, the children of Ammon and Moab, and mount Seir, by whome thou wouldest not let Israel goe, when they came out of the land of Egypt: but they turned aside from them, and destroyed them not:
Sada, evo, Amonovi i Moabovi sinovi, i oni iz Seirske gore, preko kojih nisi dao Izraelu da prođe kad je dolazio iz zemlje egipatske, nego ih je obišao i nije ih zatro -
11 Behold, I say, they reward vs, in comming to cast vs out of thine inheritance, which thou hast caused vs to inherit.
sada, dakle, oni nama uzvraćaju zlom, došavši da nas otjeraju s baštine koju si nam ti dao.
12 O our God, wilt thou not iudge them? for there is no strength in vs to stand before this great multitude that commeth against vs, neither doe wee knowe what to doe: but our eyes are toward thee.
O Bože naš, zar im nećeš suditi? Jer u nas nema sile prema tome velikom mnoštvu koje dolazi na nas niti mi znamo što da radimo, nego su nam oči uprte u te.”
13 And all Iudah stoode before the Lord with their yong ones, their wiues, and their children.
Svi su Judejci stajali pred Jahvom, s malom djecom, sa ženama i sinovima.
14 And Iahaziel the sonne of Zechariah the sonne of Benaiah, the sonne of Ieiel, the sonne of Mattaniah, a Leuite of the sonnes of Asaph was there, vpon whome came the Spirite of ye Lord, in the middes of the Congregation.
Tada siđe Jahvin duh usred zbora na Jahaziela, sina Zaharije, sina Benaje, sina Jeiela, sina Matanijina - levita od Asafovih sinova.
15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Iudah, and ye inhabitantes of Ierusalem, and thou, King Iehoshaphat: thus saith the Lord vnto you, Feare you not, neither be afraide for this great multitude: for the battel is not yours, but Gods.
On reče: “Pozorno slušajte, svi Judejci, Jeruzalemci i ti, kralju Jošafate! Ovako vam govori Jahve: 'Ne bojte se i ne plašite se toga velikog mnoštva, jer ovo nije vaš rat, nego Božji.
16 To morowe goe yee downe against them: beholde, they come vp by the cleft of Ziz, and ye shall finde them at the ende of the brooke before the wildernesse of Ieruel.
Sutra siđite na njih; oni će se penjati uz Hasiški uspon, a vi ćete ih sresti nakraj doline prema Jeruelskoj pustinji.
17 Ye shall not neede to fight in this battell: stand still, moue not, and behold the saluation of the Lord towardes you: O Iudah, and Ierusalem, feare ye not, neither be afraid: to morow goe out against them, and the Lord wilbe with you.
Ne treba da se bijete; postavite se, stojte pa gledajte kako će vam pomoći Jahve. Oj Judo i Jeruzaleme, ne bojte se i ne plašite se; sutra iziđite pred njih, i Jahve će biti s vama!'”
18 Then Iehoshaphat bowed downe with his face to the earth, and all Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem fell downe before the Lord, worshipping the Lord.
Tada Jošafat pade ničice na zemlju i svi Judejci i Jeruzalemci padoše pred Jahvom da mu se poklone.
19 And the Leuites of the children of the Kohathites and of the childre of the Corhites stood vp to prayse the Lord God of Israel with a loude voyce on hie.
Potom leviti od Kehatovih sinova i od Korahovih sinova ustadoše i počeše hvaliti na sav glas Jahvu, Boga Izraelova.
20 And when they arose early in the morning, they went forth to the wildernesse of Tekoa: and as they departed, Iehoshaphat stoode and sayde, Heare ye me, O Iudah, and ye inhabitants of Ierusalem: put your trust in the Lord your God, and ye shalbe assured: beleeue his Prophets, and ye shall prosper.
Uranivši ujutro, krenuše prema pustinji Tekoi; kad su izlazili, stade Jošafat i reče: “Čujte me, oj Judejci i Jeruzalemci, pouzdajte se u Jahvu svoga Boga i održat ćete se; pouzdajte se u njegove proroke i budite sretni!”
21 And when he had consulted with the people, and appoynted singers vnto the Lord, and them that should prayse him that is in the beautifull Sanctuarie, in going forth before the men of armes, and saying, Prayse ye the Lord, for his mercy lasteth for euer,
Potom se posavjetova s narodom i postavi Jahvine pjevače i hvalitelje koji će u svetom ruhu ići pred naoružanim četama i pjevati: “Slavite Jahvu jer je vječna ljubav njegova!”
22 And when they began to shoute, and to prayse, the Lord layed ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Iudah, and they slewe one another.
Kad počeše klicati i pjevati pjesmu pohvalnicu, Jahve podiže zasjedu na Amonce, Moapce i na one iz Seirske gore koji su došli na Judu te biše razbijeni.
23 For the children of Ammon and Moab rose against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to slay and to destroy them and when they had made an end of the inhabitantes of Seir, euery one helped to destroy another.
Jer su Amonovi sinovi i Moapci ustali na one iz Seirske gore da ih zatru i unište; a kad su svršili s onima iz Seira, stadoše udarati jedan na drugoga te se poklaše.
24 And when Iudah came towarde Mizpah in the wildernes, they looked vnto the multitude: and behold, the carkeises were fallen to the earth, and none escaped.
Kad Judejci dođoše do stražare prema pustinji i obazreše se na mnoštvo, a ono gle, mrtva tjelesa leže po zemlji; nitko se nije spasio.
25 And when Iehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoyle of them, they founde among them in abundance both of substance and also of bodies laden with precious iewels, which they tooke for themselues, till they could cary no more: they were three dayes in gathering of the spoyle: for it was much.
Tada dođe Jošafat s narodom da pokupi plijen i nađoše ga mnogo: svakoga blaga, odjeće i dragocjenih predmeta; naplijenili su toliko da više nisu mogli nositi; tri su dana pljačkali plijen jer ga je bilo mnogo.
26 And in the fourth day they assembled themselues in the valley of Berachah: for there they blessed the Lord: therefore they called the name of that place, The valley of Berachah vnto this day.
Četvrti se dan sakupiše u Dolini blagoslova: ondje su hvalili Jahvu, pa se zato ono mjesto prozvalo Emek Beraka, Dolina blagoslova, do danas.
27 Then euery man of Iudah and Ierusalem returned with Iehoshaphat their head, to goe againe to Ierusalem with ioy: for the Lord had made them to reioyce ouer their enemies.
Potom se okrenuše svi Judejci i Jeruzalemci, s Jošafatom na čelu, da se vrate u Jeruzalem u veselju, jer ih je Jahve razveselio nad njihovim neprijateljima.
28 And they came to Ierusalem with viols and with harpes, and with trumpets, euen vnto the house of the Lord.
Došli su u Jeruzalem s harfama, citrama i trubama u Dom Jahvin.
29 And the feare of God was vpon all the kingdomes of the earth, whe they had heard that the Lord had fought against ye enemies of Israel.
A strah Božji ušao je u sva zemaljska kraljevstva kad su čula da je Jahve zavojštio na Izraelove neprijatelje.
30 So the kingdom of Iehoshaphat was quiet, and his God gaue him rest on euery side.
Tako je počinulo Jošafatovo kraljevstvo, jer mu je Bog dao mir odasvud uokolo.
31 And Iehoshaphat reigned ouer Iudah, and was fiue and thirtie yeere olde, when he began to reigne: and reigned fiue and twentie yeere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
Jošafat je kraljevao nad Judejcima. Bilo mu je trideset i pet godina kad se zakraljio; kraljevao je dvadeset i pet godina u Jeruzalemu; mati mu se zvala Azuba, a bila je kći Šilhijeva.
32 And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not therefrom, doing that which was right in the sight of the Lord.
Išao je putem oca Ase ne skrećući s njega nego čineći što je pravo u Jahvinim očima.
33 Howbeit the hie places were not taken away: for the people had not yet prepared their hearts vnto the God of their fathers.
Samo, uzvišice nisu bile uklonjene, jer narod još nije bio upravio svoje srce Bogu otaca.
34 Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehoshaphat first and last, beholde, they are written in the booke of Iehu the sonne of Hanani, which is mentioned in the booke of the kings of Israel.
Ostala Jošafatova djela, od prvih do posljednjih, zapisana su u povijesti Hananijeva sina Jehua i uvrštena su u Knjigu o izraelskim kraljevima.
35 Yet after this did Iehoshaphat King of Iudah ioyne himselfe with Ahaziah King of Israel, who was giuen to do euill.
Poslije toga udružio se judejski kralj Jošafat s izraelskim kraljem Ahazjom, koji je bezbožno radio.
36 And he ioyned with him, to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the shippes in Ezion Gaber.
Udružio se s njim zato da naprave lađe i da odu u Taršiš; napravili su lađe u Esjon Geberu.
37 Then Eliezer ye sonne of Dodauah of Mareshah prophecied against Iehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast ioyned thy selfe with Ahaziah, the Lord hath broken thy workes. and the shippes were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
Dodavahuov sin Eliezer iz Mareše prorekao je protiv Jošafata: “Budući da si se udružio s Ahazjom, Jahve će razoriti tvoja djela.” Lađe su se razbile i nisu mogle otploviti u Taršiš.
