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 Asa’s reign, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to 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:
Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the LORD’s house and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Syria, who lived at 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 treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart 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.
Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
5 A kad Vasa to èu, presta zidati Ramu i ostavi djelo svoje.
When Baasha heard of it, he stopped 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.
Then Asa the king took all Judah, and they carried away the stones and timber of Ramah, with which Baasha had built; and he built Geba and Mizpah with them.
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.
At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, “Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped out of your 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.
Weren’t the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and exceedingly many horsemen? Yet, because you relied on the LORD, he delivered them into your 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 the LORD’s eyes run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards him. You have done foolishly in this; for from now on you will have 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 Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.
11 Ali gle, djela Asina, prva i pošljednja, eno zapisana su u knjizi o carevima Judinijem i Izrailjevijem.
Behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, they are 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.
In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa was diseased in his feet. His disease was exceedingly great; yet in his disease he didn’t seek the LORD, but just the physicians.
13 I tako poèinu Asa kod otaca svojih, i umrije èetrdeset prve godine carovanja svojega.
Asa slept with his fathers, and 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.
They buried him in his own tomb, which he had dug out for himself in David’s city, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers’ art; and they made a very great fire for him.
