2 Chronicles 15
1 And upon Azariah son of Oded hath been the Spirit of God,
Božji Duh je prišel nad Odédovega sina Azarjá.
2 and he goeth out before Asa, and saith to him, 'Hear, me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; Jehovah [is] with you — in your being with Him, and if ye seek Him, He is found of you, and if ye forsake Him, He forsaketh you;
Ta je odšel ven, da sreča Asája in mu rekel: »Prisluhni mi, Asá, ves Juda in Benjamin. Gospod je z vami, dokler ste vi z njim in če ga iščete, se vam bo dal najti, toda če ga zapustite, bo on zapustil vas.
3 and many days [are] to Israel without a true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law,
Torej dolgo časa je bil Izrael brez resničnega Boga, brez duhovnika, ki bi učil in brez postave.
4 and it turneth back in its distress unto Jehovah, God of Israel, and they seek Him, and He is found of them,
Toda ko so se v svoji stiski obrnili h Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu in ga iskali, se jim je dal najti.
5 and in those times there is no peace to him who is going out, and to him who is coming in, for many troubles [are] on all the inhabitants of the lands,
V tistih časih ni bilo miru tistemu, ki je odšel ven niti tistemu, ki je vstopil, temveč so bile velike nevšečnosti nad vsemi prebivalci dežel.
6 and they have been beaten down, nation by nation, and city by city, for God hath troubled them with every adversity;
Narod je bil uničen od naroda in mesto od mesta, kajti Bog jih je jezil z vsemi nadlogami.
7 and ye, be ye strong, and let not your hands be feeble, for there is a reward for your work.'
Bodite torej močni in vaše roke naj ne bodo šibke, kajti vaše delo bo nagrajeno.«
8 And at Asa's hearing these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he hath strengthened himself, and doth cause the abominations to pass away out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he hath captured from the hill-country of Ephraim, and reneweth the altar of Jehovah that [is] before the porch of Jehovah,
Ko je Asá slišal te besede in prerokbo preroka Odéda, se je opogumil in odstranil gnusne malike iz vse Judove in Benjaminove dežele in iz mest, ki jih je vzel z gore Efrájim in obnovil Gospodov oltar, ki je bil pred Gospodovim preddverjem.
9 and gathereth all Judah and Benjamin, and the sojourners with them out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and out of Simeon — for they have fallen unto him from Israel in abundance, in their seeing that Jehovah his God [is] with him.
Zbral je ves Juda in Benjamin in z njimi tujce iz Efrájima, Manáseja in Simeona, kajti iz Izraela so se v obilju zatekali k njemu, ko so videli, da je bil Gospod, njegov Bog, z njim.
10 And they are gathered to Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
Tako so se zbrali skupaj pri Jeruzalemu, v tretjem mesecu, v petnajstem letu Asájevega kraljevanja.
11 and sacrifice to Jehovah on that day from the spoil they have brought in — oxen seven hundred, and sheep seven thousand,
Isti čas so darovali Gospodu od plena, ki so ga privedli, sedemsto volov in sedemsto ovc.
12 and they enter into a covenant to seek Jehovah, God of their fathers, with all their heart, and with all their soul,
Vstopili so v zavezo, da iščejo Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov, z vsem svojim srcem in z vso svojo dušo,
13 and every one who doth not seek for Jehovah, God of Israel, is put to death, from small unto great, from man unto woman.
da kdorkoli ne bi iskal Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, bi bil usmrčen, bodisi majhen ali velik, moški ali ženska.
14 And they swear to Jehovah with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets,
In prisegli so Gospodu z močnim glasom, vriskanjem, s trobentami in kornéti.
15 and rejoice do all Judah concerning the oath, for with all their heart they have sworn, and with all their good-will they have sought Him, and He is found of them, and Jehovah giveth rest to them round about.
Ves Juda se je veselil ob prisegi, kajti prisegli so z vsem svojim srcem in ga iskali z vso svojo željo in on se jim je dal najti. In Gospod jim je dal počitek naokoli.
16 And also Maachah, mother of Asa the king — he hath removed her from [being] mistress, in that she hath made for a shrine a horrible thing, and Asa cutteth down her horrible thing, and beateth [it] small, and burneth [it] by the brook Kidron:
Tudi glede Maáhe, matere kralja Asája, jo je ta odstranil, da bi bila kraljica, ker si je naredila malika v ašeri. Asá je posekal njenega malika, ga poteptal in ga zažgal pri potoku Kidron.
17 yet the high places have not turned aside from Israel; only, the heart of Asa hath been perfect all his days.
Toda visoki kraji niso bili odvzeti iz Izraela. Kljub temu je bilo Asájevo srce vse njegove dni popolno.
18 And he bringeth in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of God, silver, and gold, and vessels.
V Božjo hišo je prinesel stvari, ki jih je njegov oče posvetil in te, ki jih je sam posvetil: srebro, zlato in posode.
19 And war hath not been till the thirty and fifth year of the reign of Asa.
In nobene vojne ni bilo več do petintridesetega leta Asájevega kraljevanja.
