2 Chronicles 16
1 When Asa had been ruling [Judah] for almost 36 years, King Baasha of Israel went [with his army] to attack Judah. They [captured the town of] Ramah [north of Jerusalem] and started to build a wall around [it], in order to prevent any people from entering or leaving the area in Judah that was ruled by King Asa [because the only road into Judah from Israel went through Ramah].
Léta třidcátého šestého kralování Azova vytáhl Báza král Izraelský proti Judovi, a stavěl Ráma, aby nedal vyjíti ani jíti k Azovi králi Judskému.
2 So Asa told his workers to take all the silver and gold that was in the storerooms of the temple and in his own palace, and take and give it to Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, who was ruling in Damascus. [He sent him a message, ] saying
Tedy vzav Aza stříbro i zlato z pokladů domu Hospodinova i domu královského, poslal k Benadadovi králi Syrskému, kterýž bydlil v Damašku, řka:
3 “I want there to be a peace treaty between me and you, like there was between my father and your father. Look, I am sending you [a lot of] silver and gold. So please cancel the treaty that you have made with Baasha, the king of Israel, in order that he will take his soldiers away from attacking mine, [because he will be afraid of your army].”
Smlouva jest mezi mnou a mezi tebou, mezi otcem mým a mezi otcem tvým. Aj, posílámť teď stříbro a zlato, jdi, zruš smlouvu svou s Bázou králem Izraelským, ať odtrhne ode mne.
4 Ben-Hadad agreed to do what King Asa [suggested]. He sent the commanders of his armies [with their soldiers] to attack some of the towns in Israel. They captured Ijon, Dan, Abel-Beth-Maacah and all the cities in the area belonging to the tribe of Naphtali where supplies were kept.
I uposlechl Benadad krále Azy, a poslal knížata s vojsky svými proti městům Izraelským. I dobyli Jon a Dan, též Abelmaim i všech měst Neftalímových, v nichž měli sklady.
5 When Baasha heard about that, he [commanded his troops to] stop fortifying Ramah and doing other work there.
To když uslyšel Báza, přestal stavěti Ráma, a zanechal díla svého.
6 Then King Asa gathered all the men of Judah, and they took away from Ramah all the stones and timber that Baasha’s men had been using [to build the wall around that town]. They took those materials to [the town of] Geba and [the city of] Mizpah [north of Jerusalem] and built walls around them.
V tom Aza král pojal všecken lid Judský, a pobrali kamení z Ráma i dříví, z něhož stavěl Báza, a vystavěl z něho Gabaa a Masfa.
7 At that time the prophet Hanani went to King Asa and said to him, “Because you relied on the king of Syria and not on Yahweh our God, you missed your opportunity to destroy the army of the king of Syria.
V ten pak čas přišel Chanani prorok k Azovi králi Judskému, a řekl jemu: Že jsi zpolehl na krále Syrského, a nezpolehl jsi na Hospodina Boha svého, proto ušlo vojsko krále Syrského z ruky tvé.
8 The huge armies from Ethiopia and Libya with all their chariots and soldiers [riding] on horses [were certainly very powerful. But] when you relied on Yahweh, he enabled your army to defeat them.
Zdaliž jsou Chussimští a Lubimští neměli vojsk velmi velikých, s vozy a jezdci náramně mnohými? A když jsi zpolehl na Hospodina, vydal je v ruku tvou.
9 That happened because Yahweh sees [what is happening] all over the earth, and he strengthens those who completely trust him. You have done a very foolish thing, so from now on other armies will be fighting your army.”
Oči zajisté Hospodinovy spatřují všecku zemi, aby dokazoval síly své při těch, kteříž jsou k němu srdce upřímého. Bláznivě jsi učinil v té věci, protož od toho času budou proti tobě války.
10 Asa was very angry with the prophet because of what the prophet had said. So he [commanded his officials to] put Hanani in prison. At that same time, he started to treat some of his people very cruelly.
Tedy rozhněvav se Aza na proroka, dal ho do vězení; nebo se byl rozhněval na něj pro tu věc. A utiskal Aza některé z lidu toho času.
11 All the things that Asa did while he was ruling, from the time he started to rule until he died, are written in the scroll containing the record of the [activities of the] kings of Judah and Israel.
O jiných pak věcech Azových, prvních i posledních, zapsáno jest v knize o králích Judských a Izraelských.
12 When Asa had been ruling for almost 39 years, he was afflicted with a disease in his feet. The disease was very severe, but in spite of that, he did not request help from Yahweh. Instead he sought help only from doctors.
Potom léta třidcátého devátého kralování svého nemocen byl Aza na nohy své těžkou nemocí, a však v nemoci své nehledal Boha, ale lékařů.
13 When he had been ruling for almost 40 years, he died.
A tak usnul Aza s otci svými, a umřel léta čtyřidcátého prvního kralování svého.
14 He was buried in the tomb that his workers had made for him in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. They laid his corpse on a bed covered with spices and various perfumes that had been mixed together. They also lit a huge fire to honor him.
A pochovali jej v hrobě jeho, kterýž byl vytesal sobě v městě Davidově, a položili ho na lůžku, kteréž byl naplnil vonnými věcmi a mastmi dílem apatykářským připravenými. I pálili to jemu ohněm velmi velikým.
