2 Chronicles 20
1 It came about after this, that the people of Moab and Ammon, and with them some Meunites came against Jehoshaphat to do battle.
A poslije toga sinovi Moavovi i sinovi Amonovi i s njima koji žive meðu sinovima Amonovijem, doðoše da vojuju na Josafata.
2 Then some came who told Jehoshaphat, saying, “A large multitude is coming against you from beyond the Dead Sea, from Edom. See, they are in Hazezon Tamar,” that is, Engedi.
I doðoše te javiše Josafatu govoreæi: ide na te veliko mnoštvo ispreko mora, iz Sirije; i eno ih u Asason-Tamaru, a to je En-Gad.
3 Jehoshaphat became afraid and set himself to seek Yahweh. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
A Josafat se uplaši, i obrati lice svoje da traži Gospoda, i oglasi post po svoj zemlji Judinoj.
4 Judah gathered together to seek Yahweh; they came to seek Yahweh from all the cities of Judah.
I skupiše se svi sinovi Judini da traže Gospoda, i iz svijeh gradova Judinijeh doðoše da traže Gospoda.
5 Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, at the house of Yahweh, in front of the new courtyard.
Tada stade Josafat u zboru Judinu i Jerusalimskom u domu Gospodnjem pred trijemom novijem,
6 He said, “Yahweh, the God of our ancestors, are you not God in heaven? Are you not the ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in your hand, so no one is able to resist you.
I reèe: Gospode Bože otaca naših! nijesi li ti Bog na nebu i vladaš svijem carstvima narodnijem? nije li u tvojoj ruci moæ i sila da ti niko ne može odoljeti?
7 Our God, did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham?
Nijesi li ti, Bože naš, odagnao stanovnike ove zemlje ispred naroda svojega Izrailja, i dao je navijek sjemenu Avrama prijatelja svojega?
8 They lived in it and built you a holy place in it for your name, saying,
Te se naseliše u njoj, i sagradiše ti u njoj svetinju za ime tvoje govoreæi:
9 'If disaster comes on us—the sword, judgment, or disease, or famine—we will stand before this house, and before you (for your name is in this house), and we will cry to you in our affliction, and you will hear us and save us.'
Kad nas zadesi kako zlo, maè osvetni ili pomor ili glad, staæemo pred ovijem domom i pred tobom, jer je ime tvoje u ovom domu, i vapiæemo tebi u nevolji svojoj, usliši i izbavi.
10 See now, here are the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir whom you would not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt; instead, Israel turned away from them and did not destroy them.
A sad evo, sinovi Amonovi i Moavovi i oni iz gore Sira, kroz koje nijesi dao sinovima Izrailjevijem proæi kad iðahu iz zemlje Misirske, nego ih obidoše i ne istrijebiše;
11 See how they are rewarding us; they are coming to drive us out of your land that you have given us to inherit.
A evo, oni nam vraæaju došavši da nas istjeraju iz našljedstva tvojega, koje si nam predao.
12 Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power against this great army that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”
Bože naš, zar im neæeš suditi? jer u nama nema snage da se opremo tome mnoštvu velikom, koje ide na nas, niti mi znamo što bismo èinili, nego su oèi naše uprte u te.
13 All Judah stood before Yahweh, with their little ones, wives, and children.
A svi sinovi Judini stajahu pred Gospodom i djeca njihova, žene njihove i sinovi njihovi.
14 Then in the middle of the assembly, the Spirit of Yahweh came on Jahaziel, son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, the Levite, one of the sons of Asaph.
Tada siðe duh Gospodnji usred zbora na Jazila sina Zaharije sina Venaje sina Jeila sina Matanijina, Levita izmeðu sinova Asafovijeh,
15 Jahaziel said, “Listen, all Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat. This is what Yahweh says to you, 'Do not fear; do not be discouraged because of this great army, for the battle does not belong to you, but to God.
I reèe: slušajte, svi sinovi Judini i Jerusalimljani, i ti care Josafate, ovako vam veli Gospod: ne bojte se i ne plašite se toga mnoštva velikoga, jer nije vaš rat nego Božji.
16 You must go down against them tomorrow. See, they are coming up by way of the pass of Ziz. You will find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
Sjutra izidite na njih; oni æe poæi uz brdo Zis, i naæi æete ih nakraj potoka prema pustinji Jeruilu.
17 You will not need to fight in this battle. Stand in your positions, stand still, and see the rescue of Yahweh with you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not fear nor be discouraged. Go out against them tomorrow, for Yahweh is with you.'”
Ne treba vi da se bijete u ovom boju; postavite se, stojte pa gledajte kako æe vas izbaviti Gospod, Judo i Jerusalime! ne bojte se i ne plašite se, sjutra izidite pred njih, i Gospod æe biti s vama.
18 Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground. All Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Yahweh, worshiping him.
Tada se Josafat savi licem k zemlji, i svi Judejci i Jerusalimljani padoše pred Gospodom, i pokloniše se Gospodu.
19 The Levites, those of the descendants of the Kohathites and Korahites, stood up to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel, with a very loud voice.
A Leviti od sinova Katovijeh i sinova Korejevijeh ustaše, te hvališe Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva glasom veoma visokim.
20 Early in the morning they arose and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. As they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem! Trust in Yahweh your God, and you will be supported. Trust in his prophets, and you will succeed.”
A ujutru ustavši rano izidoše u pustinju Tekujsku; a kad izlažahu, stade Josafat i reèe: èujte me, Judejci i Jerusalimljani: vjerujte Gospodu Bogu svojemu i biæete jaki, vjerujte prorocima njegovijem i biæete sreæni.
21 After he consulted with the people, he appointed those who sang to Yahweh and who praised him for his majestic splendor as they went out before the army, saying, “Give thanks to Yahweh, for his covenant faithfulness endures forever.”
I tako dogovoriv se s narodom postavi pjevaèe Gospodnje da hvale svetu krasotu iduæi pred vojskom i govoreæi: hvalite Gospoda, jer je dovijeka milost njegova.
22 When they began to sing and to praise, Yahweh set men in ambush against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who were coming against Judah. They were defeated.
A kad poèeše pjesmu i hvalu, obrati Gospod zasjedu na sinove Amonove i sinove Moavove i na one iz gore Sira, koji izidoše na Judu, te se razbiše.
23 For the people of Ammon and Moab rose to fight the inhabitants of Mount Seir, in order to completely kill them and destroy them. When they had finished with the inhabitants of Mount Seir, they all helped to destroy each other.
Jer sinovi Amonovi i sinovi Moavovi ustaše na one iz gore Sira da ih pobiju i potru; i kad pobiše one iz gore Sira, udariše jedni na druge, te se potrše.
24 When Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked out on the army. Behold, they were dead, fallen to the ground; none had escaped.
A kad Juda doðe do stražare prema pustinji, i pogleda na mnoštvo, a to mrtva tjelesa leže po zemlji, i nijedan ne bješe ostao živ.
25 When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take plunder from them, they found among them abundant goods, clothing, and valuable articles, which they took for themselves, more than they could carry away. It took them three days to carry off the plunder, there was so much of it.
Zato doðe Josafat sa narodom svojim da pokupe plijen; i naðoše kod njih mnogo blaga i dragocjenijeh nakita na mrtvacima, i naplijeniše da veæ ne mogoše nositi; tri dana kupiše plijen, jer ga bješe mnogo.
26 On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Berakah. There they praised Yahweh, so the name of that place is the “Valley of Berakah” to this day.
A èetvrti dan skupiše se u dolini blagoslovnoj, jer ondje blagosloviše Gospoda; zato se prozva mjesto dolina blagoslovna do danas.
27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in their lead, to go again to Jerusalem with joy, for Yahweh had made them rejoice over their enemies.
Potom okrenuše svi Judejci i Jerusalimljani i Josafat pred njima da se vrate u Jerusalim s veseljem, jer ih oveseli Gospod neprijateljima njihovijem.
28 They came to Jerusalem and to the house of Yahweh with lyres, harps, and trumpets.
I doðoše u Jerusalim sa psaltirima i guslama i trubama u dom Gospodnji.
29 The terror of God was on all the kingdoms of the nations when they heard that Yahweh had fought against Israel's enemies.
I strah Božji doðe na sva carstva zemaljska kad èuše da je Gospod vojevao na neprijatelje Izrailjeve.
30 So Jehoshaphat's kingdom was quiet, for his God gave him peace all around him.
I tako se smiri carstvo Josafatovo, jer mu Bog njegov dade mir otsvuda.
31 Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: He was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
I carovaše Josafat nad Judom; trideset i pet godina bijaše mu kad poèe carovati; i carova dvadeset i pet godina u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Azuva, kæi Silejeva.
32 He walked in the ways of Asa, his father; he did not turn away from them; he did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh.
I hoðaše putem oca svojega Ase, niti zaðe s njega, èineæi što je pravo pred Gospodom.
33 However, the high places were not taken away. The people still had not directed their hearts to the God of their ancestors.
Ali visine ne biše oborene, jer još ne bješe narod upravio srca svojega k Bogu otaca svojih.
34 As for the other matters concerning Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu son of Hanani, which is recorded in the book of the kings of Israel.
A ostala djela Josafatova prva i pošljednja, eno zapisana su u knjizi Juja sina Ananijeva, koja je stavljena u knjigu o carevima Izrailjevijem.
35 After this Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, allied himself with Ahaziah, king of Israel, who committed much wickedness.
Potom združi se Josafat car Judin s Ohozijom carem Izrailjevijem, koji èinjaše bezakonja.
36 He allied himself with him to build ships to go to Tarshish. They built the ships at Ezion Geber.
A združi se s njim zato da naèine laðe da idu u Tarsis; i naèiniše laðe u Esion-Gaveru.
37 Then Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah, prophesied against Jehoshaphat; he said, “Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, Yahweh has destroyed your projects.” The ships were wrecked so that they were not able to sail.
Tada prorokova Elijezer sin Dodavin iz Marise za Josafata govoreæi: što si se združio s Ohozijom, zato Gospod razmetnu djela tvoja. I razbiše se laðe i ne mogoše iæi u Tarsis.
