2 Dnevnika 20
1 A poslije toga sinovi Moavovi i sinovi Amonovi i s njima koji žive meðu sinovima Amonovijem, doðoše da vojuju na Josafata.
After this, the Moabites and Ammonites, together with some of the Meunites, came to make war against Jehoshaphat.
2 I doðoše te javiše Josafatu govoreæi: ide na te veliko mnoštvo ispreko mora, iz Sirije; i eno ih u Asason-Tamaru, a to je En-Gad.
Then some men came and told Jehoshaphat, “A vast army is coming against you from Edom, from beyond the Sea; they are already in Hazazon-tamar” (that is, En-gedi).
3 A Josafat se uplaši, i obrati lice svoje da traži Gospoda, i oglasi post po svoj zemlji Judinoj.
Jehoshaphat was alarmed and set his face to seek the LORD. And he proclaimed a fast throughout Judah.
4 I skupiše se svi sinovi Judini da traže Gospoda, i iz svijeh gradova Judinijeh doðoše da traže Gospoda.
So the people of Judah gathered to seek the LORD, and indeed, they came from all the cities of Judah to seek Him.
5 Tada stade Josafat u zboru Judinu i Jerusalimskom u domu Gospodnjem pred trijemom novijem,
Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of the LORD in front of the new courtyard
6 I reèe: Gospode Bože otaca naših! nijesi li ti Bog na nebu i vladaš svijem carstvima narodnijem? nije li u tvojoj ruci moæ i sila da ti niko ne može odoljeti?
and said, “O LORD, God of our fathers, are You not the God who is in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand, and no one can stand against You.
7 Nijesi li ti, Bože naš, odagnao stanovnike ove zemlje ispred naroda svojega Izrailja, i dao je navijek sjemenu Avrama prijatelja svojega?
Our God, did You not drive out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham Your friend?
8 Te se naseliše u njoj, i sagradiše ti u njoj svetinju za ime tvoje govoreæi:
They have lived in the land and have built in it a sanctuary for Your Name, saying,
9 Kad nas zadesi kako zlo, maè osvetni ili pomor ili glad, staæemo pred ovijem domom i pred tobom, jer je ime tvoje u ovom domu, i vapiæemo tebi u nevolji svojoj, usliši i izbavi.
‘If disaster comes upon us—whether sword or judgment, plague or famine—we will stand before this temple and before You, for Your Name is in this temple. We will cry out to You in our distress, and You will hear us and save us.’
10 A sad evo, sinovi Amonovi i Moavovi i oni iz gore Sira, kroz koje nijesi dao sinovima Izrailjevijem proæi kad iðahu iz zemlje Misirske, nego ih obidoše i ne istrijebiše;
And now, here are the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, whom You did not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt; but Israel turned away from them and did not destroy them.
11 A evo, oni nam vraæaju došavši da nas istjeraju iz našljedstva tvojega, koje si nam predao.
See how they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of the possession that You gave us as an inheritance.
12 Bože naš, zar im neæeš suditi? jer u nama nema snage da se opremo tome mnoštvu velikom, koje ide na nas, niti mi znamo što bismo èinili, nego su oèi naše uprte u te.
Our God, will You not judge them? For we are powerless before this vast army that comes against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.”
13 A svi sinovi Judini stajahu pred Gospodom i djeca njihova, žene njihove i sinovi njihovi.
Meanwhile all the men of Judah, with their wives and children and little ones, were standing before the LORD.
14 Tada siðe duh Gospodnji usred zbora na Jazila sina Zaharije sina Venaje sina Jeila sina Matanijina, Levita izmeðu sinova Asafovijeh,
Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite from Asaph’s descendants, as he stood in the midst of the assembly.
15 I reèe: slušajte, svi sinovi Judini i Jerusalimljani, i ti care Josafate, ovako vam veli Gospod: ne bojte se i ne plašite se toga mnoštva velikoga, jer nije vaš rat nego Božji.
And he said, “Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the LORD says: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army, for the battle does not belong to you, but to God.
16 Sjutra izidite na njih; oni æe poæi uz brdo Zis, i naæi æete ih nakraj potoka prema pustinji Jeruilu.
Tomorrow you are to march down against them. You will see them coming up the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the valley facing the Wilderness of Jeruel.
17 Ne treba vi da se bijete u ovom boju; postavite se, stojte pa gledajte kako æe vas izbaviti Gospod, Judo i Jerusalime! ne bojte se i ne plašite se, sjutra izidite pred njih, i Gospod æe biti s vama.
You need not fight this battle. Take up your positions, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out and face them tomorrow, for the LORD is with you.’”
18 Tada se Josafat savi licem k zemlji, i svi Judejci i Jerusalimljani padoše pred Gospodom, i pokloniše se Gospodu.
Then Jehoshaphat bowed facedown, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell down before the LORD to worship Him.
19 A Leviti od sinova Katovijeh i sinova Korejevijeh ustaše, te hvališe Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva glasom veoma visokim.
And the Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood up to praise the LORD, the God of Israel, shouting in a very loud voice.
20 A ujutru ustavši rano izidoše u pustinju Tekujsku; a kad izlažahu, stade Josafat i reèe: èujte me, Judejci i Jerusalimljani: vjerujte Gospodu Bogu svojemu i biæete jaki, vjerujte prorocima njegovijem i biæete sreæni.
Early in the morning they got up and left for the Wilderness of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood up and said, “Hear me, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Believe in the LORD your God, and you will be upheld; believe in His prophets, and you will succeed.”
21 I tako dogovoriv se s narodom postavi pjevaèe Gospodnje da hvale svetu krasotu iduæi pred vojskom i govoreæi: hvalite Gospoda, jer je dovijeka milost njegova.
Then Jehoshaphat consulted with the people and appointed those who would sing to the LORD and praise the splendor of His holiness. As they went out before the army, they were singing: “Give thanks to the LORD, for His loving devotion endures forever.”
22 A kad poèeše pjesmu i hvalu, obrati Gospod zasjedu na sinove Amonove i sinove Moavove i na one iz gore Sira, koji izidoše na Judu, te se razbiše.
The moment they began their shouts and praises, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir who had come against Judah, and they were defeated.
23 Jer sinovi Amonovi i sinovi Moavovi ustaše na one iz gore Sira da ih pobiju i potru; i kad pobiše one iz gore Sira, udariše jedni na druge, te se potrše.
The Ammonites and Moabites rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, devoting them to destruction. And when they had made an end to the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.
24 A kad Juda doðe do stražare prema pustinji, i pogleda na mnoštvo, a to mrtva tjelesa leže po zemlji, i nijedan ne bješe ostao živ.
When the men of Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked for the vast army, but there were only corpses lying on the ground; no one had escaped.
25 Zato doðe Josafat sa narodom svojim da pokupe plijen; i naðoše kod njih mnogo blaga i dragocjenijeh nakita na mrtvacima, i naplijeniše da veæ ne mogoše nositi; tri dana kupiše plijen, jer ga bješe mnogo.
Then Jehoshaphat and his people went to carry off the plunder, and they found on the bodies an abundance of goods and valuables —more than they could carry away. They were gathering the plunder for three days because there was so much.
26 A èetvrti dan skupiše se u dolini blagoslovnoj, jer ondje blagosloviše Gospoda; zato se prozva mjesto dolina blagoslovna do danas.
On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Beracah, where they blessed the LORD. Therefore that place is called the Valley of Beracah to this day.
27 Potom okrenuše svi Judejci i Jerusalimljani i Josafat pred njima da se vrate u Jerusalim s veseljem, jer ih oveseli Gospod neprijateljima njihovijem.
Then all the men of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat at their head, returned joyfully to Jerusalem, for the LORD had made them rejoice over their enemies.
28 I doðoše u Jerusalim sa psaltirima i guslama i trubama u dom Gospodnji.
So they entered Jerusalem and went into the house of the LORD with harps, lyres, and trumpets.
29 I strah Božji doðe na sva carstva zemaljska kad èuše da je Gospod vojevao na neprijatelje Izrailjeve.
And the fear of God came upon all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel.
30 I tako se smiri carstvo Josafatovo, jer mu Bog njegov dade mir otsvuda.
Then Jehoshaphat’s kingdom was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side.
31 I carovaše Josafat nad Judom; trideset i pet godina bijaše mu kad poèe carovati; i carova dvadeset i pet godina u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Azuva, kæi Silejeva.
So Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
32 I hoðaše putem oca svojega Ase, niti zaðe s njega, èineæi što je pravo pred Gospodom.
And Jehoshaphat walked in the way of his father Asa and did not turn away from it; he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD.
33 Ali visine ne biše oborene, jer još ne bješe narod upravio srca svojega k Bogu otaca svojih.
The high places, however, were not removed; the people had not yet set their hearts on the God of their fathers.
34 A ostala djela Josafatova prva i pošljednja, eno zapisana su u knjizi Juja sina Ananijeva, koja je stavljena u knjigu o carevima Izrailjevijem.
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, from beginning to end, they are indeed written in the Chronicles of Jehu son of Hanani, which are recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel.
35 Potom združi se Josafat car Judin s Ohozijom carem Izrailjevijem, koji èinjaše bezakonja.
Later, Jehoshaphat king of Judah made an alliance with Ahaziah king of Israel, who acted wickedly.
36 A združi se s njim zato da naèine laðe da idu u Tarsis; i naèiniše laðe u Esion-Gaveru.
They agreed to make ships to go to Tarshish, and these were built in Ezion-geber.
37 Tada prorokova Elijezer sin Dodavin iz Marise za Josafata govoreæi: što si se združio s Ohozijom, zato Gospod razmetnu djela tvoja. I razbiše se laðe i ne mogoše iæi u Tarsis.
Then Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works.” So the ships were wrecked and were unable to sail to Tarshish.
