2 Chronicles 25
1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
Amasji je bilo dvadeset i pet godina kad se zakraljio; kraljevao je dvadeset i devet godina u Jeruzalemu. Mati mu se zvala Joadana i bila je iz Jeruzalema.
2 He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, but not with a perfect heart.
Činio je što je pravo u Jahvinim očima, ali ne svim srcem.
3 Now when the kingdom was established to him, he killed his servants who had killed his father the king.
Kad je učvrstio kraljevstvo, pogubio je časnike koji su ubili kralja, njegova oca.
4 But he didn’t put their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as Yahweh commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.”
Ali im sinova nije pogubio, prema onome što je napisano u knjizi Zakona Mojsijeva, gdje Jahve zapovijeda: “Neka se očevi ne pogubljuju za sinove, ni sinovi za očeve, nego svatko neka gine za svoj grijeh.”
5 Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together and ordered them according to their fathers’ houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin. He counted them from twenty years old and upward, and found that there were three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go out to war, who could handle spear and shield.
Potom Amasja skupi Judejce i svega Judu i Benjamina, razvrsta ih prema obiteljima, tisućnicima i satnicima. Pošto popisa od dvadeset godina naviše, nađe trista tisuća izabranih momaka za vojsku, vičnih koplju i štitu.
6 He also hired one hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for one hundred talents of silver.
Među Izraelcima najmi sto tisuća hrabrih junaka za sto srebrnih talenata.
7 A man of God came to him, saying, “O king, don’t let the army of Israel go with you, for Yahweh is not with Israel, with all the children of Ephraim.
Ali k njemu dođe čovjek Božji i reče: “Kralju, neka ne ide s tobom izraelska vojska, jer Jahve nije s Izraelcima ni s Efrajimovim sinovima,
8 But if you will go, take action, and be strong for the battle. God will overthrow you before the enemy; for God has power to help, and to overthrow.”
nego idi ti sam, ponesi se junački u boju; inače će te oboriti Bog pred neprijateljem, jer Bog može pomoći i oboriti.”
9 Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “Yahweh is able to give you much more than this.”
Tada Amasja upita čovjeka Božjeg: “A što će biti od sto talenata koje sam dao izraelskim četama?” Božji čovjek odgovori: “Jahve ima da ti dade više od toga.”
10 Then Amaziah separated them, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again. Therefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.
Tada Amasja odvoji čete koje mu bijahu došle od Efrajima, da se vrate u svoje mjesto. Ali se vojnici razgnjeviše na Judejce i vratiše se u svoje mjesto plamteći od srdžbe.
11 Amaziah took courage, and led his people out and went to the Valley of Salt, and struck ten thousand of the children of Seir.
A Amasja, ohrabriv se, povede narod, ode u Slanu dolinu i pobi deset tisuća seirskih sinova.
12 The children of Judah carried away ten thousand alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and threw them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were broken in pieces.
Judini su sinovi zarobili deset tisuća živih, odveli ih na vrh hridi te ih pobacali, tako da se svi razmrskaše.
13 But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell on the cities of Judah from Samaria even to Beth Horon, and struck of them three thousand, and took much plunder.
Četa koju je Amasja poslao natrag da ne ide s njima u boj harala je po judejskim gradovima od Samarije pa do Bet Horona i pobila u njima tri tisuće ljudi i naplijenila silan plijen.
14 Now after Amaziah had come from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them and burned incense to them.
Poslije toga, kad se Amasja vratio razbivši Edomce, donio je bogove seirskih sinova, postavio ih sebi za bogove i počeo im se klanjati i kaditi im.
15 Therefore Yahweh’s anger burned against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet who said to him, “Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of your hand?”
Tada se Jahve razgnjevi na Amasju i posla k njemu proroka koji ga upita: “Zašto tražiš bogove toga naroda koji nisu izbavili svoga naroda iz tvoje ruke?”
16 As he talked with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you one of the king’s counselors? Stop! Why should you be struck down?” Then the prophet stopped, and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”
Dok je on to govorio, kralj ga upita: “Jesi li postavljen kralju za savjetnika? Prestani! Zašto da te pogube?” Tada prorok ušutje, ali nadoda: “Znam da te Bog odlučio uništiti kad to činiš a ne slušaš mojega savjeta.”
17 Then Amaziah king of Judah consulted his advisers, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come! Let’s look one another in the face.”
Tada judejski kralj Amasja smisli i poruči izraelskom kralju Joašu, sinu Jehuova sina Joahaza: “Dođi da se ogledamo!”
18 Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as his wife. Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled down the thistle.
A izraelski kralj Joaš odvrati judejskom kralju Amasji: “Libanonski je trn jedanput poslao glasnike k libanonskom cedru i poručio: 'Daj kćer mome sinu za ženu', ali su divlje zvijeri libanonske prošle i trn izgazile.
19 You say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast. Now stay at home. Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even you and Judah with you?’”
Potukao si Edomce, pa ti se srce uzobijestilo i tražiš slavu. Radije ostani kod kuće. Zašto izazivaš zlo i hoćeš da padneš i ti i svi Judejci s tobom?”
20 But Amaziah would not listen; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought after the gods of Edom.
Ali Amasja ne posluša, jer tako bijaše odredio Bog, da ih preda u ruke Joašu zato što su pristali uz edomske bogove.
21 So Joash king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
Izađe izraelski kralj Joaš te se ogledaše u boju on i judejski kralj Amasja u Bet Šemešu u Judeji.
22 Judah was defeated by Israel; so every man fled to his tent.
Izraelci poraziše Judejce i oni pobjegoše pod svoj šator.
23 Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
Izraelski kralj Joaš uhvati u Bet Šemešu judejskog kralja Amasju, sina Joaševa, sina Joahazova, i odvede ga u Jeruzalem; onda sruši jeruzalemski zid od Efrajimovih vrata do Ugaonih vrata, u dužini od četiri stotine lakata.
24 He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in God’s house with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, and the hostages, and returned to Samaria.
Uzevši sve zlato, srebro i posuđe što se nalazilo u Domu Božjem kod Obed Edoma i u riznici kraljevskog dvora, povrh toga i taoce, vrati se u Samariju.
25 Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
Judejski je kralj Amasja, Joašev sin, živio još petnaest godina poslije smrti izraelskoga kralja Joaša, Joahazova sina.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, aren’t they written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
Ostala Amasjina djela, od prvih do posljednjih, zapisana su u Knjizi o judejskim i izraelskim kraljevima.
27 Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following Yahweh, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
Otkako je Amasja ostavio Jahvu, kovala se protiv njega urota u Jeruzalemu. Iako je pobjegao u Lakiš, poslaše za njim u Lakiš ljude koji ga ondje ubiše.
28 They brought him on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
Odande su ga prenijeli na konjima i sahranili kraj njegovih otaca u Judinu gradu.
