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.
And it came to pass, after this, that the sons of Moab and the sons of Ammon, and, with them, some of the Meunim, came against Jehoshaphat, to battle.
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.
And there came [some] and told Jehoshaphat, saying, There is coming against thee, a great multitude from beyond the sea, from Syria, —and lo! they are in Hazazon-tamar, the same, is Engedi.
3 A Josafat se uplaši, i obrati lice svoje da traži Gospoda, i oglasi post po svoj zemlji Judinoj.
And Jehoshaphat was afraid, and set his face to seek unto Yahweh, —and proclaimed a fast for all Judah.
4 I skupiše se svi sinovi Judini da traže Gospoda, i iz svijeh gradova Judinijeh doðoše da traže Gospoda.
And Judah gathered themselves together, to enquire of Yahweh, —even, out of all the cities of Judah, came they in, to seek Yahweh.
5 Tada stade Josafat u zboru Judinu i Jerusalimskom u domu Gospodnjem pred trijemom novijem,
And Jehoshaphat stood, in the convocation of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of Yahweh, —before the new court;
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 Yahweh, God of our fathers, art not, thou, God in the heavens? and art, thou, not ruling throughout all the kingdoms of the nations? and, in thy hand, [are there not] strength and might? and is there any who, against thee, can stand?
7 Nijesi li ti, Bože naš, odagnao stanovnike ove zemlje ispred naroda svojega Izrailja, i dao je navijek sjemenu Avrama prijatelja svojega?
Art not, thou, our God, who didst dispossess the inhabitants of this land, from before thy people Israel, —and didst give it unto the seed of Abraham who loved thee, unto times age-abiding?
8 Te se naseliše u njoj, i sagradiše ti u njoj svetinju za ime tvoje govoreæi:
and they have dwelt therein, —and have built for thee therein, a sanctuary for thy 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 there come upon us calamity, the sword of judgment or pestilence or famine, we will stand before this house and before thee, for, thy Name, is in this house, —that we may make outcry unto thee out of our distress, that thou mayest hear and save.
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;
Now, therefore, lo! the sons of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom thou didst not suffer Israel to invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, —but they turned away from them and destroyed them not,
11 A evo, oni nam vraæaju došavši da nas istjeraju iz našljedstva tvojega, koje si nam predao.
yea lo! they, are requiting us, —by coming to drive us out, from thy possession, which thou didst cause us to possess.
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.
O our God, wilt thou not bring judgment upon them, seeing that there is, in us, no strength, before this great multitude, that is coming against us, —we, therefore, know not what we shall do, but, unto thee, are our eyes.
13 A svi sinovi Judini stajahu pred Gospodom i djeca njihova, žene njihove i sinovi njihovi.
And, all Judah, were standing before Yahweh, —also their little ones, their wives and their children.
14 Tada siðe duh Gospodnji usred zbora na Jazila sina Zaharije sina Venaje sina Jeila sina Matanijina, Levita izmeðu sinova Asafovijeh,
Now, as for Jahaziel son of Zechariah son of Benaiah son of Jeiel son of Mattaniah a Levite, of the sons of Asaph, there came upon him the spirit of Yahweh, in the midst of the convocation:
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, Give ye heed, all Judah and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat! Thus, saith Yahweh unto you. As for you, do not fear nor be dismayed, by reason of this great multitude, for, not yours, is the battle, but, God’s.
16 Sjutra izidite na njih; oni æe poæi uz brdo Zis, i naæi æete ih nakraj potoka prema pustinji Jeruilu.
To-morrow, go ye down against them, for lo! there they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz, —and ye shall find them at the end of the ravine, 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.
It is not, for you, to fight in this matter, —take your station, stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh with you, O Judah and Jerusalem, do not fear, nor be dismayed, to-morrow, go ye out to meet them, and, Yahweh, will be with you.
18 Tada se Josafat savi licem k zemlji, i svi Judejci i Jerusalimljani padoše pred Gospodom, i pokloniše se Gospodu.
And Jehoshaphat bowed his head, with his face to the ground, —and, all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, fell down before Yahweh, prostrating themselves unto Yahweh.
19 A Leviti od sinova Katovijeh i sinova Korejevijeh ustaše, te hvališe Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva glasom veoma visokim.
And Levites—of the sons of the Kohathites and of the sons of the Korahites, stood up to offer praise unto Yahweh, God of Israel, with an exceedingly 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.
So they rose early in the morning, and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa, —and, as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, Trust ye in Yahweh your God, and ye shall be trusted, Trust ye in his prophets, and ye shall prosper.
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.
And, when he had given counsel unto the people, he appointed such as should sing unto Yahweh, and offer praise with holy adorning, —as they should be going forth before the armed men, that they should be saying, O give thanks unto Yahweh, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
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.
And, when they began to sing and to praise, Yahweh had set liers-in-wait against the sons of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, who were coming against Judah, and they were smitten.
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.
Then rose up the sons of Ammon and Moab against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, to devote and to destroy, —and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to cut off, every man his neighbour.
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.
So when, Judah, came near the watch-tower of the wilderness, —they turned towards the multitude, and lo! there they were, dead bodies fallen to the earth, with none to escape.
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.
And, when Jehoshaphat and his people came near to plunder the spoil of them, they found among them, in abundance, both riches and dead bodies and precious jewels, and they stripped off for themselves, beyond what they could carry away, —and they were three days plundering the spoil, for great it was.
26 A èetvrti dan skupiše se u dolini blagoslovnoj, jer ondje blagosloviše Gospoda; zato se prozva mjesto dolina blagoslovna do danas.
And, on the fourth day, they assembled themselves in the vale of Beracah, for there they blessed Yahweh, —on this account, was the name of that place called The Vale of Beracah—unto 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 turned every man of Judah and Jerusalem, with, Jehoshaphat, at their head, to go again to Jerusalem with joy, —for Yahweh had caused them to rejoice over their enemies.
28 I doðoše u Jerusalim sa psaltirima i guslama i trubama u dom Gospodnji.
So they came to Jerusalem, with harps and with lyres, and with trumpets, —unto the house of Yahweh.
29 I strah Božji doðe na sva carstva zemaljska kad èuše da je Gospod vojevao na neprijatelje Izrailjeve.
And it came to pass that, the dread of God, was upon all the kingdoms of the countries, -when they heard, that Yahweh had fought against the enemies of Israel.
30 I tako se smiri carstvo Josafatovo, jer mu Bog njegov dade mir otsvuda.
So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was quiet, —for his God, gave him rest, round about.
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.
Thus Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah, —thirty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, and, twenty-five years, reigned he in Jerusalem, and the, name of his mother, was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.
32 I hoðaše putem oca svojega Ase, niti zaðe s njega, èineæi što je pravo pred Gospodom.
And he walked in the way of his father Asa, and turned not from it, —doing that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh.
33 Ali visine ne biše oborene, jer još ne bješe narod upravio srca svojega k Bogu otaca svojih.
Howbeit, the high places, were not taken away, —for as yet, the people, had not fixed their heart unto 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.
But, the rest of the story of Jehoshaphat, first and last, lo! there it is written in the story of Jehu son of Hanani, which hath been added to the book of the Kings of Israel.
35 Potom združi se Josafat car Judin s Ohozijom carem Izrailjevijem, koji èinjaše bezakonja.
Yet, after this, did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, —he, was lawless in his doings;
36 A združi se s njim zato da naèine laðe da idu u Tarsis; i naèiniše laðe u Esion-Gaveru.
and he joined with him, to make ships to go unto Tarshish, —and they made ships 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 prophesied, Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah, against Jehoshaphat, saying, —Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, Yahweh hath broken in pieces thy works. So the ships were wrecked, and were not able to go unto Tarshish.
