2 Књига дневника 16
1 Године тридесет шесте царовања Асиног изиђе Васа, цар Израиљев, на Јуду, и стаде зидати Раму да не да никоме отићи к Аси, цару Јудином, ни од њега доћи.
In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
2 Тада узе Аса сребро и злато из ризница дома Господњег и дома царевог, и посла Вен-Ададу цару сирском, који живљаше у Дамаску, и поручи:
Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Aram, who lived at Damascus, saying,
3 Вера је између мене и тебе, између оца мог и оца твог, ево шаљем ти сребра и злата, хајде поквари веру коју имаш са Васом царем Израиљевим, еда би отишао од мене.
"Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Look, I have sent you silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me."
4 И послуша Вен-Адад цара Асу, и посла војводе своје на градове Израиљеве, и освојише Ијон и Дан и Авел-Мајим и све градове Нефталимове у којима беху житнице.
Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
5 А кад Васа то чу, преста зидати Раму и остави дело своје.
It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.
6 Тада цар Аса узе сав народ Јудин, те однесоше камење из Раме и дрво, чим зидаше Васа, и од њега сазида Гавају и Миспу.
Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
7 А у то време дође Ананије виделац к Аси, цару Јудином, и рече му: Што си се поуздао у цара сирског а ниси се поуздао у Господа Бога свог, зато се војска цара сирског измаче из твојих руку.
At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, "Because you have relied on the king of Aram, and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore is the army of the king of Aram escaped out of your hand.
8 Нису ли Етиопљани и Лувеји имали велике војске с врло много кола и коњика? Па кад си се поуздао у Господа, даде ти их у руке.
Weren't the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? Yet, because you relied on the LORD, he delivered them into your hand.
9 Јер очи Господње гледају по свој земљи да би показивао силу своју према онима којима је срце цело према Њему. Лудо си у том радио; зато ће одсада бити ратови на те.
For the eyes of the LORD run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein you have done foolishly; for from now on you shall have wars."
10 Тада се Аса разгневи на пророка, и стави га у тамницу, јер се расрди на њ за то; и потлачи Аса неке из народа у то време.
Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.
11 Али гле, дела Асина, прва и последња, ено записана су у књизи о царевима Јудиним и Израиљевим.
Look, the acts of Asa, first and last, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 И разболе се Аса тридесет девете године царовања свог од ногу, и болест његова би врло тешка, али ни у болести својој не тражи Господа него лекаре.
In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but to the physicians.
13 И тако почину Аса код отаца својих, и умре четрдесет прве године царовања свог.
Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
14 И погребоше га у гробу његовом, који ископа себи у граду Давидовом, и метнуше га на постељу коју беше напунио мирисавих ствари и масти зготовљених вештином апотекарском, и спалише му их врло много.
They buried him in his own tomb that he had dug out in the City of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with spices and various kinds of sweet-scented herbs prepared by the perfumers' art, and they made a very great fire for him.
