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 place. In his days the land was quiet ten years.

A kad poèinu Avija kod otaca svojih i pogreboše ga u gradu Davidovu, zacari se na njegovo mjesto Asa sin njegov. Za njegova vremena poèinu zemlja deset godina.

2 Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of YHWH his God:

I èinjaše Asa što je dobro i pravo pred Gospodom Bogom njegovijem.

3 for he took away the foreign altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and cut down the Asherim,

Jer obori oltare tuðe i visine, i izlomi likove njihove i isijeèe lugove njihove.

4 and commanded Judah to seek YHWH, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.

I zapovjedi sinovima Judinijem da traže Gospoda Boga otaca svojih i da izvršuju zakon i zapovijest njegovu.

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.

Obori po svijem gradovima Judinijem visine i sunèane likove, i poèinu carstvo za njegova vremena.

6 He built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because YHWH had given him rest.

I sazida tvrde gradove u zemlji Judinoj, jer zemlja bijaše u miru, niti bješe rata s njim onijeh godina, jer mu Gospod dade mir.

7 For he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities, and make walls around them, with towers, gates, and bars. The land is still ours. Since we have sought YHWH our God, he has sought us and he has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered.

I reèe Judi: da sazidamo ove gradove i da ih opašemo zidom i kulama i vratima i prijevornicama, dok je zemlja naša; jer tražismo Gospoda Boga svojega, tražismo ga i dade nam mir otsvuda. I tako zidaše, i biše sreæni.

8 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 eighty thousand: all these were mighty men of valor.

I imaše Asa vojske trista tisuæa od Jude sa štitovima i kopljima, a od Venijamina dvjesta i osamdeset tisuæa sa štitovima i lukovima. Svi bijahu hrabri vojnici.

9 There came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a million troops, and three hundred chariots; and he came to Mareshah.

I izide na njih Zara Etiopljanin s tisuæu tisuæa vojske i s trista kola, i doðe do Marise.

10 Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

I Asa izide preda nj; i uvrstaše se vojske u dolini Sefati kod Marise.

11 Asa cried to YHWH his God, and said, "YHWH, there is none besides you to help, between the mighty and those who have no strength. Help us, YHWH our God; for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. YHWH, you are our God. Do not let man prevail against you."

I zavapi Asa ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu govoreæi: Gospode, tebi je ništa pomoæi množini ili nejakomu; pomozi nam, Gospode Bože naš, jer se u te uzdamo, i u tvoje ime doðosmo na ovo mnoštvo. Gospode, ti si Bog naš, ne daj da može što na te èovjek.

12 So YHWH struck the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

I razbi Gospod Etiopljane pred Asom i pred Judom, i pobjegoše Etiopljani.

13 Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar: and there fell of the Ethiopians so many that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before YHWH, and before his army; and they carried away very much booty.

I tjera ih Asa i narod koji bijaše s njim dori do Gerara. I popadaše Etiopljani da ih nijedan ne osta živ, jer se satrše pred Gospodom i pred vojskom njegovom; i oni odnesoše plijen velik veoma.

14 They struck all the cities around Gerar; for the fear of YHWH came on them: and they plundered all the cities; for there was a great amount of plunder in them.

I pobiše sve gradove oko Gerara, jer doðe na njih strah Gospodnji, i oplijeniše sve one gradove, jer bijaše u njima mnogo plijena.

15 They struck also the tents of livestock, and carried away sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.

Pobiše i po stanovima pastirskim ljude, i odvedoše mnogo ovaca i kamila; i vratiše se u Jerusalim.
