2 Chronicles 14
1 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Asa his son reigned in his stead; in his days the land was quiet ten years.
А кад почину Авија код отаца својих и погребоше га у граду Давидовом, зацари се на његово место Аса, син његов. За његовог времена почину земља десет година.
2 And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God;
И чињаше Аса шта је добро и право пред Господом Богом његовим.
3 for he took away the strange altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim;
Јер обори олтаре туђе и висине, и изломи ликове њихове и исече лугове њихове.
4 and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
И заповеди синовима Јудиним да траже Господа Бога отаца својих и да извршују закон и заповест Његову.
5 Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images; and the kingdom was quiet before him.
Обори по свим градовима Јудиним висине и сунчане ликове, и почину царство за његовог времена.
6 And he built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.
И сазида тврде градове у земљи Јудиној, јер земља беше у миру, нити беше рата с њим оних година, јер му Господ даде мир.
7 For he said unto Judah: 'Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars; the land is yet before us, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He hath given us rest on every side.' So they built and prospered.
И рече Јуди: Да сазидамо ове градове и да их опашемо зидом и кулама и вратима и преворницама, док је земља наша; јер тражимо Господа Бога свог, тражисмо Га и даде нам мир одсвуда. И тако зидаше, и бише срећни.
8 And Asa had an army that bore bucklers and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand; all these were mighty men of valour.
И имаше Аса војске триста хиљада од Јуде са штитовима и копљима, и од Венијамина двеста и осамдесет хиљада са штитовима и луковима. Сви беху храбри војници.
9 And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and he came unto Mareshah.
И изиђе из њих Зара Етиопљанин с хиљаду хиљада војске и с триста кола, и дође до Марисе.
10 Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephath at Mareshah.
И Аса изиђе преда њ; и уврсташе се војске у долини Сефати код Марисе.
11 And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said: 'LORD, there is none beside Thee to help, between the mighty and him that hath no strength; help us, O LORD our God; for we rely on Thee, and in Thy name are we come against this multitude. Thou art the LORD our God; let not man prevail against Thee.'
И завапи Аса ка Господу Богу свом говорећи: Господе Теби је ништа помоћи множини или нејаком; помози нам, Господе Боже наш, јер се у Те уздамо, и у Твоје име дођосмо на ово мноштво. Господе, Ти си Бог наш, не дај да може шта на Те човек.
12 So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
И разби Господ Етиопљане пред Асом и пред Јудом, и побегоше Етиопљани.
13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar; and there fell of the Ethiopians so that none remained alive; for they were shattered before the LORD, and before His host; and they carried away very much booty.
И тера их Аса и народ који беше с њим дори до Герара. и попадаше Етиопљани да их ни један не оста жив, јер се сатрше пред Господом и пред војском Његовом; и они однесоше плен велик веома.
14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for a terror from the LORD came upon them; and they spoiled all the cities; for there was much spoil in them.
И побише све градове око Герара, јер дође на њих страх Господњи, и опленише све оне градове, јер беше у њима много плена.
15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
Побише и по становима пастирским људе, и одведоше много оваца и камила; и вратише се у Јерусалим.
