2 Chronicles 16
1 In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasa king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
V šestintridesetem letu Asájevega kraljevanja je zoper Juda prišel Izraelov kralj Bašá in gradil Ramo z namenom, da nikomer ne bi dovolil iti ven ali priti noter k Judovemu kralju Asáju.
2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Aram, that dwelt at Damascus, saying:
Potem je Asá prinesel ven srebro in zlato iz zakladnic Gospodove hiše in kraljeve hiše ter poslal k sirskemu kralju Ben Hadádu, ki je prebival v Damasku, rekoč:
3 'There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father; behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart from me.'
»Zaveza je med menoj in teboj, kakor je bila med mojim očetom in tvojim očetom. Glej, poslal sem ti srebro in zlato; pojdi in prelomi svojo zavezo z Izraelovim kraljem Bašájem, da lahko odide od mene.«
4 And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store-cities of Naphtali.
Ben Hadád je prisluhnil kralju Asáju in poslal poveljnike svoje vojske zoper Izraelova mesta in udarili so Ijón, Dan, Abél Majim in vsa Neftálijeva skladiščna mesta.
5 And it came to pass, when Baasa heard thereof, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.
Pripetilo se je, ko je Bašá to slišal, da je prenehal graditi Ramo in opustil svoje delo.
6 Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasa had builded; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
Potem je kralj Asá vzel vsega Juda in odnesli so proč kamenje iz Rame in njen les, s katerim je Bašá gradil; s tem je gradil Gebo in Micpo.
7 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him: 'Because thou hast relied on the king of Aram, and hast not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Aram escaped out of thy hand.
Ob tistem času je k Judovemu kralju Asáju prišel videc Hananí in mu rekel: »Ker si se zanašal na sirskega kralja in se nisi zanesel na Gospoda, svojega Boga, zato je vojska sirskega kralja pobegnila iz tvoje roke.
8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge host, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, He delivered them into thy hand.
Mar niso bili Etiopijci in Libijci ogromna vojska z mnogimi bojnimi vozovi in konjeniki? Vendar ker si se zanesel na Gospoda, jih je izročil v tvojo roko.
9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is whole toward Him. Herein thou hast done foolishly; for from henceforth thou shalt have wars.'
Kajti Gospodove oči tekajo sem ter tja po vsej celotni zemlji, da se izkaže močnega v korist tistih, katerih srce je popolno do njega. V tem si storil nespametno, zato boš od sedaj naprej imel vojne.
10 Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in the prison-house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.
Potem je bil Asá ogorčen nad vidcem in ga vrgel v jetnišnico, kajti zaradi te stvari je bil ogorčen nanj. In Asá je isti čas zatiral nekatere izmed ljudstva.
11 And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Glej, dejanja Asája, prva in zadnja, glej, ta so zapisana v knjigi Judovih in Izraelovih kraljev.
12 And in the thirty and ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great; yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.
Asá je bil v devetintridesetem letu svojega kraljevanja bolan na svojih stopalih, dokler ni bila njegova bolezen silno velika, vendar se v svoji bolezni ni obrnil h Gospodu, temveč k zdravnikom.
13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
Asá je zaspal s svojimi očeti in umrl v enainštiridesetem letu svojega kraljevanja.
14 And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had hewn out for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers' art; and they made a very great burning for him.
Pokopali so ga v njegovih lastnih mavzolejih, ki si jih je naredil zase v Davidovem mestu in ga položili v posteljo, ki je bila napolnjena s prijetnimi dišavami in različnimi vrstami dišav, pripravljenih po lekarnarski umetnosti. Zanj so naredili zelo velik sežig [dišav].
