2 Chronicles 16
1 In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel has come up against Judah, and builds Ramah, so as not to permit any going out and coming in to Asa king of Judah.
Trideset i šeste godine Asina kraljevanja navali izraelski kralj Baša na Judeju i stade utvrđivati Ramu da spriječi svako kretanje judejskom kralju Asi.
2 And Asa brings out silver and gold from the treasures of the house of YHWH and of the house of the king, and sends [them] to Ben-Hadad king of Aram, who is dwelling in Damascus, saying,
Asa tada uze srebra i zlata iz riznice Doma Jahvina i kraljevskoga dvora i posla aramejskome kralju Ben-Hadadu, koji je stolovao u Damasku, i poruči mu:
3 “A covenant [is] between me and you, and between my father and your father, behold, I have sent silver and gold to you; go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he goes up from off me.”
“Neka bude savez između mene i tebe i između moga i tvoga oca; evo, šaljem ti na dar srebra i zlata, hajde, raskini savez s izraelskim kraljem Bašom da bi otišao od mene.”
4 And Ben-Hadad listens to King Asa, and sends the heads of the forces that he has to cities of Israel, and they strike Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Maim, and all the stores, cities of Naphtali.
Ben-Hadad posluša kralja Asu i posla svoje vojskovođe na izraelske gradove te oni pokoriše Ijon, Dan, Abel Majinu i sve Naftalijeve gradove-skladišta.
5 And it comes to pass, at Baasha’s hearing, that he ceases from building Ramah, and lets his work rest;
A kada to Baša dozna, presta utvrđivati Ramu i obustavi posao.
6 and Asa the king has taken all Judah, and they carry away the stones of Ramah and its wood that Baasha has built [with], and he builds Geba and Mizpah with them.
Tada kralj Asa sazva sve Judejce i oni odnesoše kamenje i drvo kojima je Baša utvrđivao Ramu, pa time utvrdiše Gebu i Mispu.
7 And at that time Hanani the seer has come to Asa king of Judah and says to him, “Because of your leaning on the king of Aram, and you have not leaned on your God YHWH, therefore the force of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand.
U to vrijeme dođe vidjelac Hanani k judejskom kralju Asi i reče mu: “Budući da si se oslonio na aramejskoga kralja, a nisi se oslonio na Jahvu, Boga svoga, vojska aramejskoga kralja izmakla ti je iz ruke.
8 Did the Cushim and the Lubim not become a very great force for multitude, for chariot, and for horsemen? And in your leaning on YHWH He gave them into your hand,
Nisu li Etiopljani i Libijci imali silne čete sa vrlo mnogo bojnih kola i konjanika? Pa kad si se oslonio na Jahvu, predao ti ih je u ruke.
9 for YHWH—His eyes go to and fro in all the earth, to show Himself strong [for] a people whose heart [is] perfect toward Him; you have been foolish concerning this, because from now on there are wars with you.”
Jer Jahve svojim očima gleda po svoj zemlji da bi se ohrabrili oni kojima je srce iskreno prema njemu. Ludo si u tome radio, zato će se od sada dizati ratovi na te.”
10 And Asa is angry at the seer, and puts him [in] the house of stocks, for [he is] in a rage with him for this; and Asa oppresses [some] of the people at that time.
Tada se Asa razgnjevi na vidioca i baci ga u tamnicu, jer se razjario na nj. U to je vrijeme Asa potlačio i neke iz naroda.
11 And behold, the matters of Asa, the first and the last, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.
I eto, Asina djela, od prvoga do posljednjeg, zapisana su u Knjizi o judejskim i izraelskim kraljevima.
12 And Asa is diseased—in the thirty-ninth year of his reign—in his feet, until his disease is excessive; and also in his disease he has not sought YHWH, but among physicians.
Razbolio se trideset i devete godine kraljevanja, od nogu, te mu se bolest veoma pogoršala, ali ni u bolesti nije tražio Jahvu nego liječnike.
13 And Asa lies with his fathers, and dies in the forty-first year of his reign,
Tako Asa počinu sa svojim ocima i umrije četrdeset i prve godine svoga kraljevanja.
14 and they bury him in [one of] his graves that he had prepared for himself in the City of David, and they cause him to lie on a bed that [one] has filled [with] spices, and various kinds of mixtures, with perfumed work; and they burn a very great burning for him.
Sahranili su ga u grobnici koju bijaše iskopao sebi u Davidovu gradu i položili ga na odar što ga bijaše napunio miomirisima i mastima, zgotovljenima mastilačkom vještinom, i spalili mu ih vrlo mnogo.
