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, and 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 that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, but not with a perfect heart.
3 I kad se utvrdi u carstvu, pobi sluge svoje koji ubiše cara oca njegova.
Now when the kingdom was established to him, he killed his servants who had killed 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 didn’t put their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as Yahweh commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall 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 ordered them according to their fathers’ houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin. He counted them from twenty years old and upward, and found that there were three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go out to war, who could handle spear and shield.
6 I jošte najmi izmeðu Izrailjaca sto tisuæa hrabrijeh ljudi za sto talanata srebra.
He also hired one hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of 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.
A man of God came to him, saying, “O king, don’t let the army of Israel go with you, for Yahweh is not with Israel, with all the children 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 if you will go, take action, and be strong for the battle. God will overthrow you before the enemy; for God has power to help, and 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 said to the man of God, “But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “Yahweh 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.
Then Amaziah separated them, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again. Therefore 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 out and went to the Valley of Salt, and struck ten thousand of the children 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 children of Judah carried away ten thousand alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and threw them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were 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 whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell on the cities of Judah from Samaria even to Beth Horon, and struck of them three thousand, 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 after Amaziah had come from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself 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?
Therefore Yahweh’s anger burned against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet who said to him, “Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of 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.
As he talked with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you one of the king’s counselors? Stop! Why should you be struck down?” Then the prophet stopped, and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”
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 his advisers, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come! Let’s look one another in the face.”
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.
Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as his wife. Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed 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 say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast. Now stay at home. Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even 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 it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought after the gods of Edom.
21 I otide Joas car Izrailjev, i ogledaše se, on i Amasija car Judin, u Vet-Semesu Judinu.
So Joash king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
22 Ali Judu razbi Izrailj, te pobjegoše svaki ka svojemu šatoru.
Judah was defeated by Israel; so every man fled to his tent.
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.
Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, 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 vessels that were found in God’s house with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, and the hostages, and returned to Samaria.
25 I poživje Amasija sin Joasov car Judin po smrti Joasa sina Joahaza cara Izrailjeva petnaest godina.
Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Joash, 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?
Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, aren’t they 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 made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish, but they sent 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 on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
