2 Dnevnika 14
1 A kad poèinu Avija kod otaca svojih i pogreboše ga u gradu Davidovu, zacari se na njegovo mjesto Asa sin njegov. Za njegova vremena poèinu zemlja deset godina.
So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.
2 I èinjaše Asa što je dobro i pravo pred Gospodom Bogom njegovijem.
And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of Jehovah his God:
3 Jer obori oltare tuðe i visine, i izlomi likove njihove i isijeèe lugove njihove.
for he took away the foreign altars, and the high places, and brake down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim,
4 I zapovjedi sinovima Judinijem da traže Gospoda Boga otaca svojih i da izvršuju zakon i zapovijest njegovu.
and commanded Judah to seek Jehovah, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
5 Obori po svijem gradovima Judinijem visine i sunèane likove, i poèinu carstvo za njegova vremena.
Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.
6 I sazida tvrde gradove u zemlji Judinoj, jer zemlja bijaše u miru, niti bješe rata s njim onijeh godina, jer mu Gospod dade mir.
And he built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because Jehovah had given him rest.
7 I reèe Judi: da sazidamo ove gradove i da ih opašemo zidom i kulama i vratima i prijevornicama, dok je zemlja naša; jer tražismo Gospoda Boga svojega, tražismo ga i dade nam mir otsvuda. I tako zidaše, i biše sreæni.
For he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars; the land is yet before us, because we have sought Jehovah our God; we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.
8 I imaše Asa vojske trista tisuæa od Jude sa štitovima i kopljima, a od Venijamina dvjesta i osamdeset tisuæa sa štitovima i lukovima. Svi bijahu hrabri vojnici.
And Asa had an army that bare bucklers and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valor.
9 I izide na njih Zara Etiopljanin s tisuæu tisuæa vojske i s trista kola, i doðe do Marise.
And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and he came unto Mareshah.
10 I Asa izide preda nj; i uvrstaše se vojske u dolini Sefati kod Marise.
Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
11 I zavapi Asa ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu govoreæi: Gospode, tebi je ništa pomoæi množini ili nejakomu; pomozi nam, Gospode Bože naš, jer se u te uzdamo, i u tvoje ime doðosmo na ovo mnoštvo. Gospode, ti si Bog naš, ne daj da može što na te èovjek.
And Asa cried unto Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, there is none besides thee to help, between the mighty and him that hath no strength: help us, O Jehovah our God; for we rely on thee, and in thy name are we come against this multitude. O Jehovah, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.
12 I razbi Gospod Etiopljane pred Asom i pred Judom, i pobjegoše Etiopljani.
So Jehovah smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
13 I tjera ih Asa i narod koji bijaše s njim dori do Gerara. I popadaše Etiopljani da ih nijedan ne osta živ, jer se satrše pred Gospodom i pred vojskom njegovom; i oni odnesoše plijen velik veoma.
And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and there fell of the Ethiopians so many that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before Jehovah, and before his host; and they carried away very much booty.
14 I pobiše sve gradove oko Gerara, jer doðe na njih strah Gospodnji, i oplijeniše sve one gradove, jer bijaše u njima mnogo plijena.
And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of Jehovah came upon them: and they despoiled all the cities; for there was much spoil in them.
15 Pobiše i po stanovima pastirskim ljude, i odvedoše mnogo ovaca i kamila; i vratiše se u Jerusalim.
They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
