2 Dnevnika 16
1 Godine trideset šeste carovanja Asina izide Vasa car Izrailjev na Judu, i stade zidati Ramu da ne da nikomu otiæi k Asi caru Judinu ni od njega doæi.
In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, —that he might let none come out or go in, unto Asa king of Judah.
2 Tada uze Asa srebro i zlato iz riznica doma Gospodnjega i doma careva, i posla Ven-Adadu caru Sirskomu, koji življaše u Damasku, i poruèi:
So Asa brought forth silver and gold, out of the treasuries of the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king, —and sent unto Ben-hadad, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying:
3 Vjera je izmeðu mene i tebe, izmeðu oca mojega i oca tvojega, evo šaljem ti srebra i zlata, hajde, pokvari vjeru koju imaš s Vasom carem Izrailjevijem, eda bi otišao od mene.
[Let there be] a covenant, between me and thee, as between my father and thy father.—Lo! I have sent thee silver and gold, go break thy covenant with Baasha king of Israel, that he may go up from me.
4 I posluša Ven-Adad cara Asu, i posla vojvode svoje na gradove Izrailjeve, i osvojiše Ijon i Dan i Avel-Majim i sve gradove Neftalimove u kojima bijahu žitnice.
And Ben-hadad hearkened unto King Asa, and sent the chieftains of the forces which he had, against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon and Dan, and Abel-maim, —and all the storehouses of the cities of Naphtali.
5 A kad Vasa to èu, presta zidati Ramu i ostavi djelo svoje.
And it cams to pass, when Baasha heard it, he left off building Ramah, —and let his work cease.
6 Tada car Asa uze sav narod Judin, te odnesoše kamenje iz Rame i drvo, èim zidaše Vasa, i od njega sazida Gavaju i Mispu.
And, Asa the king, took all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timbers thereof, which Baasha had used in building, —and he built therewith, Geba and Mizpah.
7 A u to vrijeme doðe Ananije vidjelac k Asi caru Judinu i reèe mu: što si se pouzdao u cara Sirskoga a nijesi se pouzdao u Gospoda Boga svojega, zato se vojska cara Sirskoga izmaèe iz tvojih ruku.
And, at that time, came Hanani the seer, unto Asa the king of Judah, —and said unto him, Because thou hast leaned upon the king of Syria, and hast not leaned upon Yahweh thy God, for this cause, hath the force of the king of Syria escaped out of thy hand.
8 Nijesu li Etiopljani i Luveji imali velike vojske s vrlo mnogo kola i konjika? pa kad si se pouzdao u Gospoda, dade ti ih u ruke.
Were not, the Ethiopians and the Lybians, a huge host, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? yet, because thou didst lean upon Yahweh, he delivered them into thy hand.
9 Jer oèi Gospodnje gledaju po svoj zemlji da bi pokazivao silu svoju prema onima kojima je srce cijelo prema njemu. Ludo si u tom radio; zato æe otsele biti ratovi na te.
For, as touching Yahweh, [seeing that], his eyes, are ever running to and fro throughout all the earth, to shew himself strong with them who are perfect toward himself, thou hast made thyself foolish over this, —for, from henceforth, there shall be with thee—wars.
10 Tada se Asa razgnjevi na proroka, i vrže ga u tamnicu, jer se rasrdi na nj za to; i potlaèi Asa neke iz naroda u to vrijeme.
Then was Asa angry with the seer, and put him in the house of the stocks, for he was in a rage with him, over this, —and Asa oppressed some of the people, at that time.
11 Ali gle, djela Asina, prva i pošljednja, eno zapisana su u knjizi o carevima Judinijem i Izrailjevijem.
But lo! the story of Asa, first and last, there it is, written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 I razbolje se Asa trideset devete godine carovanja svojega od nogu, i bolest njegova bi vrlo teška, ali ni u bolesti svojoj ne traži Gospoda nego ljekare.
And Asa became diseased—in the thirty-ninth year of his reign—in his feet, exceedingly severe, was his disease, —yet, even in his disease, he sought not Yahweh, but unto physicians.
13 I tako poèinu Asa kod otaca svojih, i umrije èetrdeset prve godine carovanja svojega.
And Asa slept with his fathers, —yea he died in the forty-first year of his reign;
14 I pogreboše ga u grobu njegovu, koji iskopa sebi u gradu Davidovu, i metnuše ga na postelju koju bješe napunio mirisavijeh stvari i masti zgotovljenijeh vještinom apotekarskom, i spališe mu ih vrlo mnogo.
and they buried him in his own stately sepulchre, which he had hewn for himself in the city of David, and laid him on a couch which was full of sweet spices—yea of various kinds, made by the perfumer’s art, —and they burned for him with an exceeding great burning.
