2 Dnevnika 25
1 Bijaše Amasiji dvadeset i pet godina kad poèe carovati, i carova dvadeset i devet godina u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Joadana iz Jerusalima.
Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem.
2 On èinjaše što je pravo pred Gospodom, ali ne cijelijem srcem.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not wholeheartedly.
3 I kad se utvrdi u carstvu, pobi sluge svoje koji ubiše cara oca njegova.
As soon as the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, Amaziah executed the servants who had murdered his father the king.
4 Ali sinova njihovijeh ne pogubi, nego uèini kako piše u zakonu, u knjizi Mojsijevoj, gdje je zapovjedio Gospod govoreæi: ocevi da ne ginu za sinove, ni sinovi za oceve, nego svaki za svoj grijeh neka gine.
Yet he did not put their sons to death, but acted according to what is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses, where the LORD commanded: “Fathers must not be put to death for their children, and children must not be put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.”
5 Iza toga skupi Amasija narod Judin, i postavi po domovima otaèkim tisuænike i stotinike po svoj zemlji Judinoj i Venijaminovoj, i izbroji ih od dvadeset godina i više, i naðe ih trista tisuæa vojnika izabranijeh, koji nošahu koplje i štit.
Then Amaziah gathered the people of Judah and assigned them according to their families to commanders of thousands and of hundreds. And he numbered those twenty years of age or older throughout Judah and Benjamin and found 300,000 chosen men able to serve in the army, bearing the spear and shield.
6 I jošte najmi izmeðu Izrailjaca sto tisuæa hrabrijeh ljudi za sto talanata srebra.
He also hired 100,000 mighty warriors from Israel for a hundred talents of silver.
7 Ali doðe mu èovjek Božji i reèe: care, da ne ide s tobom vojska Izrailjska, jer Gospod nije s Izrailjcima niti sa sinovima Jefremovijem.
But a man of God came to him and said, “O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel—not with any of the Ephraimites.
8 Nego idi ti, i budi hrabar u boju; inaèe æe te oboriti Bog pred neprijateljem, jer Bog može i pomoæi i oboriti.
Even if you go and fight bravely in battle, God will make you stumble before the enemy, for God has power to help and power to overthrow.”
9 Tada reèe Amasija èovjeku Božijemu: a šta æe biti od sto talanata što sam dao vojsci Izrailjevoj? A èovjek Božji reèe: ima Gospod da ti da više od toga.
Amaziah asked the man of God, “What should I do about the hundred talents I have given to the army of Israel?” And the man of God replied, “The LORD is able to give you much more than this.”
10 I tako odvoji Amasija vojsku što mu bješe došla od Jefrema da otidu u svoje mjesto; a oni se vrlo rasrdiše na Judu, i vratiše se u svoje mjesto s velikim gnjevom.
So Amaziah dismissed the troops who had come to him from Ephraim and sent them home. And they were furious with Judah and returned home in great anger.
11 A Amasija oslobodivši se povede narod svoj i otide u slanu dolinu, i pobi deset tisuæa sinova Sirovijeh;
Amaziah, however, summoned his strength and led his troops to the Valley of Salt, where he struck down 10,000 men of Seir,
12 I deset tisuæa živijeh zarobiše Judejci, i odvedoše na vrh stijene, i pobacaše ih sa vrh stijene da se svi raspadoše.
and the army of Judah also captured 10,000 men alive. They took them to the top of a cliff and threw them down so that all were dashed to pieces.
13 A vojnici koje Amasija posla natrag da ne idu s njim u boj, navališe na gradove Judine od Samarije do Vet-Orona, i pobiše po njima tri tisuæe, i zaplijeniše velik plijen.
Meanwhile the troops that Amaziah had dismissed from battle raided the cities of Judah, from Samaria to Beth-horon. They struck down 3,000 people and carried off a great deal of plunder.
14 A kad se vrati Amasija razbivši Idumeje, donese bogove sinova Sirovijeh, i postavi ih sebi za bogove, i klanjaše im se i kaðaše im.
When Amaziah returned from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought back the gods of the Seirites, set them up as his own gods, bowed before them, and burned sacrifices to them.
15 Tada se razgnjevi Gospod na Amasiju, i posla k njemu proroka, koji mu reèe: zašto tražiš bogove toga naroda, koji ne izbaviše svojega naroda iz tvoje ruke?
Therefore the anger of the LORD burned against Amaziah, and He sent him a prophet, who said, “Why have you sought this people’s gods, which could not deliver them from your hand?”
16 I kad govoraše caru, on mu reèe: jesi li postavljen caru za savjetnika? prestani; zašto da pogineš? I tako presta prorok, ali reèe: znam da te je Bog naumio istrijebiti kad to radiš a ne slušaš svjeta mojega.
While he was still speaking, the king asked, “Have we made you the counselor to the king? Stop! Why be struck down?” So the prophet stopped, but he said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not heeded my advice.”
17 Tada smisli Amasija car Judin, i posla k Joasu sinu Joahaza sina Jujeva, caru Izrailjevu, i poruèi: hodi da se ogledamo.
Then Amaziah king of Judah took counsel and sent word to the king of Israel Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu. “Come, let us meet face to face,” he said.
18 A Joas car Izrailjev posla k Amasiji caru Judinu i poruèi mu: trn na Livanu posla ka kedru na Livanu, i poruèi: daj svoju kæer sinu mojemu za ženu. Ali naiðe zvijerje Livansko i izgazi trn.
But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: “A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle.
19 Veliš, pobio si Edomce, pa se ponese srce tvoje, i tražiš slave; sjedi kod kuæe svoje; zašto bi se zapletao u zlo da padneš i ti i Juda s tobom?
You have said, ‘Look, I have defeated Edom,’ and your heart has become proud and boastful. Now stay at home. Why should you stir up trouble so that you fall—you and Judah with you?”
20 Ali ne posluša Amasija, jer od Gospoda to bi da ih da u ruke neprijatelju, što tražiše bogove Edomske.
But Amaziah would not listen, for this had come from God in order to deliver them into the hand of Jehoash, because they had sought the gods of Edom.
21 I otide Joas car Izrailjev, i ogledaše se, on i Amasija car Judin, u Vet-Semesu Judinu.
So Jehoash king of Israel advanced, and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah.
22 Ali Judu razbi Izrailj, te pobjegoše svaki ka svojemu šatoru.
And Judah was routed before Israel, and every man fled to his own home.
23 A Amasiju cara Judina sina Joasa sina Joahazova uhvati Joas car Izrailjev u Vet-Semesu, i odvede ga u Jerusalim; i obori zid Jerusalimski od vrata Jefremovijeh do vrata na uglu, èetiri stotine lakata.
There at Beth-shemesh, Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz. Then Jehoash brought him to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate—a section of four hundred cubits.
24 I uze sve zlato i srebro i sve posuðe što se naðe u domu Božijem u Ovid-Edoma i u riznici doma carskoga, i taoce, pa se vrati u Samariju.
He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the house of God with Obed-edom and in the treasuries of the royal palace, as well as some hostages. Then he returned to Samaria.
25 I poživje Amasija sin Joasov car Judin po smrti Joasa sina Joahaza cara Izrailjeva petnaest godina.
Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
26 A ostala djela Amasijina prva i pošljednja, eto nijesu li zapisana u knjizi o carevima Judinijem i Izrailjevijem?
As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah, from beginning to end, are they not written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel?
27 I pošto Amasija otstupi od Gospoda, digoše bunu na nj u Jerusalimu, a on pobježe u Lahis. Ali poslaše za njim u Lahis, i ubiše ga ondje.
From the time that Amaziah turned from following the LORD, a conspiracy was formed against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But men were sent after him to Lachish, and they killed him there.
28 I donesoše ga na konjma i pogreboše ga kod otaca njegovijeh u gradu Judinu.
They carried him back on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
