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 the LORD his God:
3 Jer obori oltare tuðe i visine, i izlomi likove njihove i isijeèe lugove njihove.
For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and broke down the images, and cut down the groves:
4 I zapovjedi sinovima Judinijem da traže Gospoda Boga otaca svojih i da izvršuju zakon i zapovijest njegovu.
And commanded Judah to seek the LORD 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 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 had rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD 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.
Therefore he said to Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us; because we have sought the LORD 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 of men that bore shields and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these were mighty men of valour.
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 Cushite with an host of a million, and three hundred chariots; and came to Mareshah.
10 I Asa izide preda nj; i uvrstaše se vojske u dolini Sefati kod Marise.
Then Asa went out against 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 to the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.
12 I razbi Gospod Etiopljane pred Asom i pred Judom, i pobjegoše Etiopljani.
So the LORD smote the Cushites before Asa, and before Judah; and the Cushites 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 to Gerar: and the Cushites were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.
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 about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they smote all the cities; for there was very 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 and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
