2 Kroniška 20
1 Po tem se je tudi pripetilo, da so Moábovi otroci, Amónovi otroci in z njimi drugi, poleg Amóncev, prišli zoper Józafata, da se vojskujejo.
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 Potem so prišli nekateri, ki so Józafatu rekli: »Velika množica prihaja zoper tebe, iz druge strani morja, na to stran Sirije. Glej, oni so v Hacecón Tamáru, ki je En Gedi.
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 Józafat se je zbal in se pripravil, da išče Gospoda in je po vsem Judu razglasil post.
And Jehoshaphat was afraid, and set his face to seek unto Yahweh, —and proclaimed a fast for all Judah.
4 Juda se je zbral skupaj, da prosi pomoč od Gospoda. Celo iz vseh Judovih mest so prišli, da iščejo 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 Józafat je stal v skupnosti Judovcev in Jeruzalemcev, v Gospodovi hiši, pred novim dvorom
And Jehoshaphat stood, in the convocation of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of Yahweh, —before the new court;
6 in rekel: »Oh Gospod, Bog naših očetov, ali nisi ti Bog v nebesih? In ali ne vladaš nad vsemi kraljestvi poganov? In ali ni v tvoji roki oblast in moč, tako da se ti nihče ne more zoperstaviti?
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 Mar nisi ti naš Bog, ki si napodil prebivalce te dežele pred svojim ljudstvom Izraelom in jo daješ potomcem svojega prijatelja Abrahama na veke?
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 In oni prebivajo v njej in so ti v njej zgradili svetišče za tvoje ime, rekoč:
and they have dwelt therein, —and have built for thee therein, a sanctuary for thy Name, saying:
9 ›Če zlo prihaja nad nas kakor meč, sodba ali kužna bolezen ali lakota, mi stojimo pred to hišo in v tvoji prisotnosti (kajti tvoje ime je v tej hiši) in kličemo k tebi v svoji stiski, potem boš slišal in pomagal.
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 In sedaj glej, Amónovi in Moábovi otroci in gorovje Seír, za katere nisi hotel, da jih Izraelci napadejo, ko so prišli iz egiptovske dežele, temveč so se obrnili od njih in jih niso uničili,
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 glej pravim, kako so nas nagradili, da pridejo, da nas vržejo ven iz tvoje posesti, ki si nam jo ti dal, da jo podedujemo.
yea lo! they, are requiting us, —by coming to drive us out, from thy possession, which thou didst cause us to possess.
12 Oh naš Bog, mar jih ne boš sodil? Kajti nobene moči nimamo zoper to veliko skupino, ki prihaja zoper nas niti ne vemo, kaj storiti, temveč so naše oči na tebi.«
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 Ves Juda je stal pred Gospodom s svojimi malčki, svojimi ženami in svojimi otroki.
And, all Judah, were standing before Yahweh, —also their little ones, their wives and their children.
14 Potem je nad Jahaziéla, sina Zeharjája, sina Benajája, sina Jeiéla, sina Matanjája, Lévijevca izmed Asáfovih sinov, prišel Duh od Gospoda v sredo skupnosti
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 in rekel je: »Prisluhnite, ves Juda in prebivalci Jeruzalema in ti, kralj Józafat: ›Tako vam govori Gospod: ›Ne bojte se niti ne bodite zaprepadeni zaradi te velike množice, kajti bitka ni vaša, temveč Božja.
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 Jutri pojdite dol zoper njih. Glejte, prišli bodo pri pečini Cic in našli jih boste na koncu potoka, pred jeruélsko divjino.
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 V tej bitki se vam ne bo treba bojevati. Razpostavite se, stojte mirno in glejte rešitev duš Gospoda z vami, oh Juda in Jeruzalem. Ne bojte se niti ne bodite zaprepadeni. Jutri pojdite ven zoper njih, kajti Gospod bo z vami.‹«
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 Józafat je sklonil svojo glavo s svojim obrazom do tal in ves Juda in prebivalci Jeruzalema so padli pred Gospodom in oboževali Gospoda.
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 Lévijevci izmed otrok Kehátovcev in izmed Kórahovcev so vstali, da hvalijo Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, s silno močnim glasom.
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 Zgodaj zjutraj so vstali ter odšli naprej v divjino Tekóe in ko so šli naprej se je Józafat ustavil in rekel: »Poslušajte me, oh Juda in vi, prebivalci Jeruzalema. Verjemite v Gospoda, svojega Boga, tako boste utrjeni; verjemite prerokom, tako boste uspeli.«
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 Ko se je posvetoval z ljudstvom, je določil pevce za Gospoda in ki naj bi hvalili lepoto svetosti, medtem ko bodo šli ven pred vojsko in govorili: »Hvalite Gospoda, kajti njegovo usmiljenje vztraja na veke.«
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 Ko so začeli peti in hvaliti, je Gospod pripravil zasede zoper otroke Amóna, Moába in gorovje Seír, ki so prišli zoper Juda; in bili so udarjeni.
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 Kajti otroci Amóna in Moába so se dvignili zoper prebivalce gorovja Seír, da jih popolnoma pobijejo in uničijo. In ko so prebivalcem Seíra storili konec, je vsakdo pomagal uničiti drugega.
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 Ko je Juda prišel proti stražnemu stolpu v divjini, so pogledali k množici in glej, bili so trupla, padla na zemljo in nihče ni pobegnil.
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 Ko je Józafat in njegovo ljudstvo prišlo, da od njih poberejo plen, so med njimi našli v obilju tako bogastev s trupli, kakor dragocene dragulje, ki so jih pobrali zase, več kakor so lahko nesli in tam so bili tri dni pri pobiranju plena, toliko ga je bilo.
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 Na četrti dan so se zbrali skupaj v dolini Berahá, kajti tam so blagoslovili Gospoda. Zato je bilo ime tega kraja imenovano dolina Berahá do današnjega dne.
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 Potem so se vrnili, vsak človek iz Juda in Jeruzalema in Józafat na njihovem čelu, da gredo ponovno z radostjo v Jeruzalem, kajti Gospod jim je storil, da se veselijo nad svojimi sovražniki.
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 V Jeruzalem so prišli s plunkami, harfami in trobentami h Gospodovi hiši.
So they came to Jerusalem, with harps and with lyres, and with trumpets, —unto the house of Yahweh.
29 Božji strah je bil na vseh kraljestvih tistih dežel, ko so slišali, da se je Gospod boril zoper Izraelove sovražnike.
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 Tako je bilo Józafatovo kraljestvo mirno, kajti njegov Bog mu je naokoli dal počitek.
So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was quiet, —for his God, gave him rest, round about.
31 Józafat je kraljeval nad Judom. Petintrideset let je bil star, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval petindvajset let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Azúba, Šilhíjeva hči.
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 Hodil je po poti svojega očeta Asája in se ni oddvojil od nje in delal je to, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh.
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 Vendar visoki kraji niso bili odstranjeni, kajti do takrat ljudstvo svojih src še ni pripravilo k Bogu njihovih očetov.
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 Torej preostala izmed Józafatovih dejanj, prva in zadnja, glej, ta so zapisana v knjigi Hananijevega sina Jehúja, ki je omenjen v knjigi Izraelovih kraljev.
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 Potem je Judov kralj Józafat sebe pridružil Izraelovemu kralju Ahazjáju, ki je počel zelo zlobno.
Yet, after this, did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, —he, was lawless in his doings;
36 Pridružil se mu je, da izdelata ladje, da bi plule v Taršíš in ladje so izdelali v Ecjón Geberju.
and he joined with him, to make ships to go unto Tarshish, —and they made ships in Ezion-geber,
37 Potem je Dodavájev sin Eliézer iz Maréše prerokoval zoper Józafata, rekoč: »Ker si se pridružil Ahazjáju, je Gospod zlomil tvoja dela.« In ladje so bile razbite, da niso mogle pluti v Taršíš.
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.
