2 Dnevnika 15
1 Tada duh Božji doðe na Azariju sina Odidova;
Now, as for Azariah son of Oded, there came upon him, the spirit of God.
2 Te otide pred Asu i reèe mu: èujte me, Aso i sve pleme Judino i Venijaminovo; Gospod je s vama, jer ste vi s njim; i ako ga ustražite, naæi æete ga; ako li ga ostavite, i on æe vas ostaviti.
So he went forth to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear me, O Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin, —Yahweh, is with you, so long as ye are with him, and, if ye seek him, he will be found of you, but, if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 Dugo je Izrailj bez pravoga Boga i bez sveštenika uèitelja, i bez zakona.
Now, many days, had Israel been, —without the faithful God, and without a teaching priest, and without the law;
4 A da su se u nevolji svojoj obratili ka Gospodu Bogu Izrailjevu i tražili ga, našli bi ga.
But they turned, in their distress, unto Yahweh God of Israel, —and sought him, and he was found of them.
5 Ali u ovo vrijeme ne može se na miru odlaziti ni dolaziti; jer je nemir velik meðu svijem stanovnicima zemaljskim;
And, in those times, there had been no prosperity, to him that went out nor to him that came in, —for, great consternations, were upon all the inhabitants of the lands;
6 I potiru narodi jedan drugi, i gradovi jedan drugi, jer ih Bog smete svakojakim nevoljama.
and they were beaten in pieces-nation against nation, and city against city, —for, God, discomfited them with all manner of distress.
7 Zato vi budite hrabri i nemojte da vam klonu ruke, jer ima plata za vaš trud.
Ye, therefore, be strong, and let not your hands be slack, —for there is a reward for your work!
8 A kad èu Asa te rijeèi i proroštvo proroka Odida, ohrabri se, i istrijebi gadne bogove iz sve zemlje Judine i Venijaminove i iz gradova koje bješe uzeo u gori Jefremovoj, i ponovi oltar Gospodnji koji bijaše pred trijemom Gospodnjim.
And, when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he strengthened himself, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had captured out of the hill country of Ephraim, —and renewed the altar of Yahweh, that was before the porch of Yahweh.
9 Potom sazva sve pleme Judino i Venijaminovo i došljake koji bijahu kod njih od Jefrema i Manasije i Simeuna, jer ih mnogo prebježe k njemu iz naroda Izrailjeva kad vidješe da je Gospod Bog njegov s njim.
And he gathered together all Judah and Benjamin, and the sojourners with them, out of Ephraim and out of Manasseh, and out of Simeon, —for they fell unto him out of Israel, in great numbers, because they saw that, Yahweh his God, was with him.
10 I skupiše se u Jerusalim treæega mjeseca petnaeste godine carovanja Asina.
So they gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem, in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11 I u onaj dan prinesoše Gospodu žrtve od plijena koji dognaše, sedam stotina volova i sedam tisuæa ovaca.
And they sacrificed unto Yahweh, on that day, out of the spoil they had brought in, —oxen, seven hundred, and sheep, seven thousand.
12 I uhvatiše vjeru da traže Gospoda Boga otaca svojih svijem srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom;
And they entered into a covenant, to seek Yahweh, God of their fathers, —with all their heart, and with all their soul;
13 A ko god ne bi tražio Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva, da se pogubi, bio mali ili veliki, èovjek ili žena.
and, whosoever would not seek unto Yahweh God of Israel, should be put to death, —whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14 I zakleše se Gospodu glasom velikim i uz klikovanje i uz trube i rogove.
So they bound themselves by oath unto Yahweh, with a loud voice, and with shouting, —and with trumpets and with horns.
15 I radovaše se sav narod Judin radi te zakletve, jer iz svega srca svojega zakleše se, i od sve volje svoje tražiše ga i naðoše ga; i Gospod im dade mir otsvuda.
And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for, with all their heart, had they sworn, and, with all their good will, had they sought him, and he was found of them, —and Yahweh gave them rest round about.
16 Jošte i Mahu mater svoju svrže Asa s vlasti, jer bješe naèinila u lugu idola; i Asa obali idola njezina i izlomi ga i sažeže na potoku Kedronu.
Moreover also, as touching Maacah mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made, unto the Sacred Stem, a monstrous thing, —so Asa cut down her monstrous thing, and reduced it to dust, and burnt it up, in the Kidron ravine.
17 Ali visine ne biše oborene u Izrailju, ali srce Asino bješe pravo svega vijeka njegova.
But, the high places, were not taken away out of Israel, —only, the heart of Asa, was perfect, all his days.
18 I unese u dom Božji što bješe posvetio otac njegov i što bješe sam posvetio, srebro i zlato i sudove.
And he brought the hallowed things of his father and his own hallowed things, into the house of God, —silver and gold, and utensils.
19 I ne bi rata do trideset pete godine carovanja Asina.
And, war, was there none, —until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
