2 Chronicles 20
1 And it comes to pass after this, the sons of Moab have come in, and the sons of Ammon, and with them of the peoples, to battle against Jehoshaphat.
Poslije toga Moabovi i Amonovi sinovi, a s njima i neki od Meunjana, zaratiše na Jošafata.
2 And [some] come in and declare [it] to Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude has come against you from beyond the sea, from Aram, and behold, they [are] in Hazezon-Tamar—it [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 Jehoshaphat fears, and sets his face to seek for YHWH, and proclaims a fast over all Judah;
Jošafat se uplaši i stade tražiti Jahvu te oglasi post po svoj Judeji.
4 and Judah is gathered to inquire of YHWH; also, from all the cities of Judah they have come to seek YHWH.
Skupili se Judejci da traže Jahvu: dolazili iz svih judejskih gradova da ga traže.
5 And Jehoshaphat stands in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of YHWH, at the front of the new court,
Tada Jošafat ustade u judejskom zboru u Jeruzalemu, u Domu Jahvinu, pred novim predvorjem
6 and says, “O YHWH, God of our fathers, are You not God in the heavens? Indeed, You are ruling over all kingdoms of the nations, and power and might [are] in Your hand, and there is none with You to station himself.
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 Are You not our God? You have dispossessed the inhabitants of this land from before Your people Israel, and give it to the seed of Your friend Abraham for all time,
Ti si, o Bože naš, istjerao stanovnike ove zemlje pred svojim izraelskim narodom i dao je zasvagda potomstvu svoga prijatelja Abrahama;
8 and they dwell in it, and build a sanctuary in it for You, for Your Name, saying,
i nastanili su se u njoj i sagradili u njoj Svetište tvojem Imenu govoreći:
9 If evil comes on us—sword, judgment, and pestilence, and famine—we stand before this house, and before You, for Your Name [is] in this house, and cry to You out of our distress, and You hear and save.
'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, behold, sons of Ammon, and Moab, and Mount Seir, whom You did not grant to Israel to go in against in their coming out of the land of Egypt, for they turned aside from off them and did not destroy them,
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 and behold, they are repaying to us—to come to drive us out of Your possession that You have caused us to possess.
sada, dakle, oni nama uzvraćaju zlom, došavši da nas otjeraju s baštine koju si nam ti dao.
12 O our God, do You not execute judgment on them? For there is no power in us before this great multitude that has come against us, and we do not know what we do, but our eyes [are] on You.”
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 Judah is standing before YHWH, also their infants, their wives, and their sons.
Svi su Judejci stajali pred Jahvom, s malom djecom, sa ženama i sinovima.
14 And the Spirit of YHWH has been on Jahaziel, son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly,
Tada siđe Jahvin duh usred zbora na Jahaziela, sina Zaharije, sina Benaje, sina Jeiela, sina Matanijina - levita od Asafovih sinova.
15 and he says, “Attend, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and O King Jehoshaphat, Thus said YHWH to you: You do not fear, nor be afraid of the face of this great multitude, for the battle [is] not for you, but for God.
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 Tomorrow, go down against them, behold, they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz, and you have found them in the end of the valley, the front of the wilderness of Jeruel.
Sutra siđite na njih; oni će se penjati uz Hasiški uspon, a vi ćete ih sresti nakraj doline prema Jeruelskoj pustinji.
17 [It is] not for you to fight in this; station yourselves, stand, and see the salvation of YHWH with you, O Judah and Jerusalem—do not be afraid nor fear—tomorrow go out before them, and YHWH [is] 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 And Jehoshaphat bows—face to the earth—and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have fallen before YHWH, to bow themselves to YHWH.
Tada Jošafat pade ničice na zemlju i svi Judejci i Jeruzalemci padoše pred Jahvom da mu se poklone.
19 And the Levites, of the sons of the Kohathites, and of the sons of the Korahites, rise to give praise to YHWH, God of Israel, with a loud voice on high.
Potom leviti od Kehatovih sinova i od Korahovih sinova ustadoše i počeše hvaliti na sav glas Jahvu, Boga Izraelova.
20 And they rise early in the morning, and go out to the wilderness of Tekoa, and in their going out Jehoshaphat has stood and says, “Hear me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, remain steadfast in your God YHWH, and be steadfast; remain steadfast in His prophets and 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 he takes counsel with the people, and appoints singers for YHWH, and those giving praise for the honor of holiness, in the going out before the armed [men], and saying, “Give thanks to YHWH, for His kindness [is] for all time.”
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 at the time they have begun with singing and praise, YHWH has put ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who are coming in to Judah, and they are struck,
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 and the sons of Ammon stand up, and Moab, against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, to devote and to destroy, and at their finishing with the inhabitants of Seir, they helped, a man against his neighbor, to destroy.
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 Judah has come to the watchtower in the wilderness, and they look toward the multitude, and behold, they [are] carcasses fallen to the earth, and none [had] an escape,
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 Jehoshaphat comes in, and his people, to seize their spoil, and they find among them, in abundance, both goods and carcasses, and desirable vessels, and they take spoil for themselves without prohibition, and they are seizing the spoil [for] three days, for it [is] abundant.
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 on the fourth day they have been assembled at the Valley of Blessing, for there they blessed YHWH: therefore they have called the name of that place, “Valley of Blessing,” to 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 And they return, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat at their head, to go back to Jerusalem with joy, for YHWH has made them rejoice over 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 come to Jerusalem with psalteries, and with harps, and with trumpets, to the house of YHWH.
Došli su u Jeruzalem s harfama, citrama i trubama u Dom Jahvin.
29 And there is a fear of God on all kingdoms of the lands in their hearing that YHWH has fought with the enemies of Israel,
A strah Božji ušao je u sva zemaljska kraljevstva kad su čula da je Jahve zavojštio na Izraelove neprijatelje.
30 and the kingdom of Jehoshaphat is quiet, and his God gives rest to him all around.
Tako je počinulo Jošafatovo kraljevstvo, jer mu je Bog dao mir odasvud uokolo.
31 And Jehoshaphat reigns over Judah, a son of thirty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Azubah 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 walks in the way of his father Asa, and has not turned aside from it, to do that which is right in the eyes of YHWH.
Išao je putem oca Ase ne skrećući s njega nego čineći što je pravo u Jahvinim očima.
33 Only, the high places have not been removed, and still the people have not prepared their heart for the God of their fathers.
Samo, uzvišice nisu bile uklonjene, jer narod još nije bio upravio svoje srce Bogu otaca.
34 And the rest of the matters of Jehoshaphat, the first and the last, behold, they are written among the matters of Jehu son of Hanani, who has been mentioned on the scroll 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 And after this Jehoshaphat king of Judah has joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel (he did wickedly in doing [this]),
Poslije toga udružio se judejski kralj Jošafat s izraelskim kraljem Ahazjom, koji je bezbožno radio.
36 and he joins him with himself to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they make ships in Ezion-Geber,
Udružio se s njim zato da naprave lađe i da odu u Taršiš; napravili su lađe u Esjon Geberu.
37 and Eliezer son of Dodavah, of Mareshah, prophesies against Jehoshaphat, saying, “For your joining yourself with Ahaziah, YHWH has broken up your works”; and the ships are broken, and have not retained [power] 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.
