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 began to reign; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
2 On èinjaše što je pravo pred Gospodom, ali ne cijelijem srcem.
He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, but not with a whole heart.
3 I kad se utvrdi u carstvu, pobi sluge svoje koji ubiše cara oca njegova.
It came about that as soon as his rule was well established, he killed 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.
But he did not put the children of the murderers to death, but acted according to what was written in the law, in the Book of Moses, as Yahweh had commanded, “The fathers must not die for the children, nor must the children die for the fathers. Instead, every person must 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.
Moreover, Amaziah gathered Judah together, and registered them by their ancestors' houses, under commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—all of Judah and Benjamin. He numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them to be 300,000 chosen men, able to go to war, who could handle spear and shield.
6 I jošte najmi izmeðu Izrailjaca sto tisuæa hrabrijeh ljudi za sto talanata srebra.
He hired also 100,000 fighting men from Israel for one 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, “King, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for Yahweh is not with Israel—none of the people of Ephraim.
8 Nego idi ti, i budi hrabar u boju; inaèe æe te oboriti Bog pred neprijateljem, jer Bog može i pomoæi i oboriti.
But even if you do go and are courageous and strong in battle, God will throw you down before the enemy, for God has power to help, and power to throw down.”
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 said to the man of God, “But what will we do about the one hundred talents that I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “Yahweh is able to give you much more than that.”
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 separated the army that had come to him from Ephraim; he sent them home again. So their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.
11 A Amasija oslobodivši se povede narod svoj i otide u slanu dolinu, i pobi deset tisuæa sinova Sirovijeh;
Amaziah took courage and led his people to go out to the Valley of Salt; there he defeated ten thousand 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.
The army of Judah carried away alive another ten thousand. They took them to the top of the cliff and threw them down from there, so that they were all broken in 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.
But the men of the army which Amaziah sent back, so that they should not go with him to battle, attacked the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon. They struck down three thousand of the people and took much 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.
Now it came about, after that Amaziah had returned from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the people of Seir, and set them up to be his own gods. He bowed down before them and burned incense 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?
So Yahweh's anger was kindled against Amaziah. He sent a prophet to him, who said, “Why have you sought after the gods of a people who did not even save their own people 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.
It came about that as the prophet was speaking with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you an advisor to the king? Stop! Why should you be killed?” Then the prophet stopped and said, “I know that God has decided to destroy you because you have done this deed and have not listened to 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 consulted with advisors and sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us meet each other face to face in battle.”
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 the king of Israel sent messengers back to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “A thistle that was in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son for a wife,' but a wild beast in Lebanon walked by and trampled down 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, 'See, I have struck down Edom,' and your heart has lifted you up. Take pride in your victory, but stay at home, for why should you cause yourself trouble and fall, both 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, because this event was from God, so he might put the people of Judah into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought advice from 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, attacked; he and Amaziah, king of Judah, met each other face to face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
22 Ali Judu razbi Izrailj, te pobjegoše svaki ka svojemu šatoru.
Judah was struck down before Israel, and every man fled 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.
Jehoash, king of Israel, captured Amaziah son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, at Beth Shemesh. He brought him to Jerusalem and tore down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits in distance.
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, all the objects that were found in the house of God with Obed Edom, and the valuable things in the king's house, with hostages also, and 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 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 other matters concerning Amaziah, first and last, behold, 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.
Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following Yahweh, they began to make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish, but they sent men after him to Lachish and killed him there.
28 I donesoše ga na konjma i pogreboše ga kod otaca njegovijeh u gradu Judinu.
They brought him back on horses and buried him with his ancestors in the city of Judah.
