2 Chronicles 14
1 And he lay down Abijah with ancestors his and people buried him in [the] city of David and he became king Asa son his in place of him in days his it was at peace the land ten years.
Tako je Abíja zaspal s svojimi očeti in pokopali so ga v Davidovem mestu. Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Asá. V njegovih dneh je bila dežela mirna deset let.
2 And he did Asa the good and the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh God his.
Asá je počel to, kar je bilo dobro in pravilno v očeh Gospoda, njegovega Boga,
3 And he removed [the] altars of foreignness and the high places and he broke down the sacred pillars and he cut down the Asherah poles.
kajti odstranil je oltarje tujih bogov, visoke kraje, porušil podobe in posekal ašere.
4 And he said to Judah to seek Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their and to observe the law and the commandment.
Judu je zapovedal, naj išče Gospoda, Boga njihovih očetov in naj izpolnjuje postavo in zapoved.
5 And he removed from all [the] cities of Judah the high places and the incense altars and it was at peace the kingdom before him.
Prav tako je iz vseh Judovih mest odstranil visoke kraje in podobe in kraljestvo je bilo pred njim mirno.
6 And he built cities of fortification in Judah for it was at peace the land and there not with him [was] war in the years these for he had given rest Yahweh to him.
V Judu je zgradil utrjena mesta, kajti dežela je imela počitek in v tistih letih ni imel nobene vojne, ker mu je Gospod dal počitek.
7 And he said to Judah let us build - the cities these and let us surround [them] wall and towers gates and bars still it the land [is] before us for we have sought Yahweh God our we sought [him] and he has given rest to us from round about and they built and they prospered.
Zato je Judu rekel: »Gradimo ta mesta in okrog njih postavimo obzidja, stolpe, velika vrata in zapahe, medtem ko je dežela še pred nami, ker smo iskali Gospoda, svojega Boga. Iskali smo ga in on nam je dal počitek na vsaki strani.« Tako so gradili in bili uspešni.
8 And it belonged to Asa an army bearing body shield[s] and spear[s] from Judah three hundred thousand. And of Benjamin [those who] carry a shield and [those who] bend a bow two hundred and eighty thousand all these [were] mighty [men] of strength.
Asá je imel vojsko mož, ki so nosili okrogle ščite in sulice, iz Juda tristo tisoč in iz Benjamina, ki so nosili ščite in napenjali loke, dvesto osemdeset tisoč. Vsi ti so bili močni junaški možje.
9 And he came out against them Zerah the Cushite with an army a thousand thousand and chariots three hundred and he came to Mareshah.
Zoper njih je prišel Etiopijec Zerah z milijonsko vojsko in tristo bojnimi vozmi in prišel do Mareše.
10 And he went out Asa before him and they drew up in formation battle in [the] valley of Zephathah to Mareshah.
Potem je Asá odšel ven zoper njega in postrojil so se v dolini Cefáti pri Mareši.
11 And he called out Asa to Yahweh God his and he said O Yahweh there not [is] with you to help between great and not strength help us O Yahweh God our for on you we depend and in name your we have come on the multitude this O Yahweh [are] God our you may not he retain with you a man.
Asá je klical h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu in rekel: » Gospod, to zate ni nič, da pomagaš, bodisi z mnogimi ali s tistimi, ki nimajo moči. Pomagaj nam, oh Gospod, naš Bog, kajti nate se zanašamo in v tvojem imenu gremo zoper to množico. Oh Gospod, ti si naš Bog, naj človek ne prevlada zoper tebe.«
12 And he defeated Yahweh the Cushites before Asa and before Judah and they fled the Cushites.
Tako je Gospod udaril Etiopijce pred Asájem in pred Judom in Etiopijci so pobegnili.
13 And he pursued them Asa and the people which [was] with him to to Gerar and it fell of [the] Cushites to not [belonged] to them preservation for they had been broken before Yahweh and before army his and they carried off booty much very.
Asá in ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, so jih preganjali do Gerárja in Etiopijci so bili premagani, da si niso več opomogli, kajti bili so uničeni pred Gospodom in njegovo vojsko in odnesli so zelo veliko plena.
14 And they struck down all the cities around Gerar for it was [the] dread of Yahweh on them and they plundered all the cities for plunder much it was in them.
Udarili so vsa mesta naokoli Gerárja, kajti Gospodov strah je prišel nanje. Oplenili so vsa mesta, kajti v njih je bilo silno veliko plena.
15 And also [the] tents of livestock they struck down and they took captive sheep to abundance and camels and they returned Jerusalem.
Udarili so tudi šotore živine in odvedli proč ovc in kamel v obilju ter se vrnili v Jeruzalem.
