Chronicles II 25

1 Amasias began to reign when he was twenty and five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name [was] Joadaen of Jerusalem.

Amacjá je bil star petindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval devetindvajset let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Joadána iz Jeruzalema.

2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a perfect heart.

Delal je to, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh, toda ne s popolnim srcem.

3 And it came to pass, when the kingdom was established in his hand, that he slew his servants who had slain the king his father.

Pripetilo se je torej, ko mu je bilo kraljestvo utrjeno, da je usmrtil svoja služabnika, ki sta ubila kralja, njegovega očeta.

4 But he slew not their sons, according to the covenant of the law of the Lord, as it is written, [and] as the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, and the sons shall not die for the fathers, but they shall die each for his own sin.

Toda njunih otrok ni usmrtil, temveč je storil, kakor je to zapisano v postavi Mojzesove knjige, kjer je Gospod zapovedal, rekoč: ›Očetje ne bodo umrli zaradi otrok niti ne bodo otroci umrli zaradi očetov, temveč bo vsak človek umrl zaradi svojega lastnega greha.‹

5 And Amasias assembled the house of Juda, and appointed them according to the houses of their families for captains of thousands and captains of hundreds in all Juda and Jerusalem: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found them three hundred thousand able to go out to war, holding spear and shield.

Poleg tega je Amacjá zbral skupaj Juda in jih postavil za tisočnike in stotnike, glede na hiše njihovih očetov, po vsem Judu in Benjaminu. Preštel jih je od starosti dvajset let navzgor in jih našel tristo tisoč izbranih mož, zmožnih iti na vojno, ki so lahko zgrabili sulico in ščit.

6 Also he hired of Israel a hundred thousand mighty [men for] a hundred talents of silver.

Najel je tudi sto tisoč močnih junaških mož iz Izraela za sto talentov srebra.

7 And there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the host of Israel go with thee; for the Lord is not with Israel, [even] all the sons of Ephraim.

Toda tam je prišel k njemu Božji mož, rekoč: »Oh kralj, naj Izraelova vojska ne gre s teboj, kajti Gospod ni z Izraelom, namreč z vsemi Efrájimovi otroci.

8 For if thou shalt undertake to strengthen [thyself] with these, then the lord shall put thee to flight before the enemies: for it is of the Lord both to strengthen and to put to flight.

Toda če ti hočeš iti, stori to, bodi močan za bitko. Bog ti bo storil, da padeš pred sovražnikom, kajti Bog ima moč, da pomaga in da podere.«

9 And Amasias said to the man of God, But what shall I do [for] the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God said, The Lord can give thee much more than these.

Amacjá je rekel Božjemu možu: »Toda kaj naj storimo zaradi stotih talentov, ki sem jih dal Izraelovi vojski?« Božji mož je odgovoril: » Gospod ti je zmožen dati veliko več kakor to.«

10 And Amasias separated from the army that came to him from Ephraim, that they might go away to their place; and they were very angry with Juda, and they returned to their place with great wrath.

Potem jih je Amacjá ločil, namreč vojsko, ki je prišla k njemu iz Efrájima, da gre ponovno domov. Zato je bila njihova jeza silno vžgana zoper Juda in domov so se vrnili v veliki jezi.

11 And Amasias strengthened [himself], and took his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote there the children of Seir ten thousand.

Amacjá se je okrepil in vodil svoje ljudstvo in odšel v solno dolino in jih izmed Seírovih otrok pobil deset tisoč.

12 And the children of Juda took ten thousand prisoners, and they carried them to the top of the precipice, and cast them headlong from the top of the precipice, and they were all dashed to pieces.

Drugih deset tisoč pa so Judovi otroci pustili žive, jih odvedli ujete in jih privedli na vrh skale ter jih vrgli dol iz vrha skale, da so bili razbiti na koščke.

13 And the men of the host whom Amasias sent back so that they should not go with him to battle, [went] and attacked the cities of Juda, from Samaria to Baethoron; and they smote three thousand among them, and took much spoil.

Toda vojaki vojske, ki jih je Amacjá poslal nazaj, da ne bi šli z njim na bitko, so vpadli na Judova mesta od Samarije celo do Bet Horóna in pobili tri tisoč izmed njih in zajeli veliko plena.

14 And it came to pass, after Amasias had returned from smiting Idumea, that he brought home the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up for himself as gods, and bowed down before them, and he sacrificed to them.

Pripetilo se je torej, potem ko je Amacjá prišel od pokola Edómcev, da je prinesel bogove Seírjevih otrok in jih postavil, da bodo njegovi bogovi, se priklanjal pred njimi in jim zažigal kadilo.

15 And the anger of the Lord came upon Amasias, and he sent him a prophet, and he said to him, Why hast thou sought the gods of the people, which have not rescued their own people out of thine hand?

Zato je bila Gospodova jeza vžgana zoper Amacjá in mu je poslal preroka, ki mu je rekel: »Zakaj si iskal za bogovi ljudstva, ki niso mogli rešiti svoje lastno ljudstvo iz tvoje roke?«

16 And it came to pass when the prophet was speaking to him, that he said to him, have I made thee king's counsellor? take heed lest thou be scourged: and the prophet forebore, and said, I know that [God] is disposed against thee to destroy thee, because thou hast done this thing, and hast not hearkened to my counsel.

Pripetilo se je, ko je govoril z njim, da mu je kralj rekel: »Mar si postavljen za kraljevega svetovalca? Odnehaj. Zakaj bi bil udarjen?« Potem je prerok odnehal in rekel: »Vem, da je Bog določil, da te uniči, ker si to storil in nisi prisluhnil mojemu nasvetu.«

17 And Amasias king of Juda took counsel, and sent to Joas, son of Joachaz, son of Jeu, king of Israel, saying, Come, and let us look one another in the face.

Potem je Judov kralj Amacjá sprejel nasvet in poslal k Jehoášu, Joaházovemu sinu, Jehújevemu sinu, Izraelovemu kralju, rekoč: »Pridi, poglejva drug drugemu v obraz.«

18 And Joas king of Israel sent to Amasias king of Juda, saying, The thistle that was in Libanus sent to the cedar that was in Libanus, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife; but, behold, thy wild beasts of the field that are in Libanus shall come: and the wild beasts did come, and trod down the thistle.

Izraelov kralj Jehoáš pa je poslal k Judovemu kralju Amacjáju, rekoč: »Osat, ki je bil na Libanonu, je poslal k cedri, ki je bila na Libanonu, rekoč: ›Daj svojo hčer mojemu sinu za ženo.‹ In tam mimo je šla divja zver, ki je bila na Libanonu in pomendrala osat.

19 Thou hast said, Behold, I have smitten Idumea, and thy stout heart exalts thee: now stay at home; for why dost thou implicate thyself in mischief, that thou shouldest fall, and Juda with thee.

Ti praviš: ›Glej, udaril si Edómce in tvoje srce te je povzdignilo do bahanja. Ostani torej doma, zakaj bi se vmešaval v svojo bolečino, da bi padel, celó ti in Juda s teboj?‹«

20 Nevertheless Amasias hearkened not, for it was of the Lord to deliver him into [the enemy's] hands, because he sought after the gods of the Idumeans.

Toda Amacjá ni hotel slišati, kajti to je prišlo od Boga, da bi jih on lahko izročil v roko njihovih sovražnikov, ker so iskali za edómskimi bogovi.

21 So Joas king of Israel went up; and they saw one another, he and Amasias king of Juda, in Baethsamys, which is of Juda.

Tako je Izraelov kralj Jehoáš odšel gor in videla sta drug drugega v obraz, tako on in Judov kralj Amacjá, pri Bet Šemešu, ki pripada Judu.

22 And Juda was put to flight before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.

Juda je bil na slabšem pred Izraelom in pobegnili so vsak mož k svojemu šotoru.

23 And Joas king of Israel took prisoner Amasias king of Juda, [son] of Joas, son of Joachaz, in Baethsamys, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he pulled down [part] of the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

Izraelov kralj Jehoáš je prijel Judovega kralja Amacjá, Joáševega sina, Joaházovega sina pri Bet Šemešu in ga privedel v Jeruzalem in porušil jeruzalemsko obzidje od Efrájimovih velikih vrat do vogalnih velikih vrat, štiristo komolcev.

24 And [he took] all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord and with Abdedom, and the treasures of the king's house, and the hostages, and he returned to Samaria.

Vzel je vse zlato, srebro in vse posode, ki so bile najdene v Božji hiši z Obéd Edómom in zaklade kraljeve hiše, tudi talce in se vrnil v Samarijo.

25 And Amasias the [son] of Joas king of Juda lived after the death of Joas the [son] of Joachaz king of Israel fifteen years.

Joášev sin Amacjá, kralj Juda, je po smrti Izraelovega kralja, Joaházovega sina Jehoáša, živel petnajst let.

26 And the rest of the acts of Amasias, the first and the last, Lo! are they not written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel?

Torej preostala izmed Amacjájevih dejanj, prva in zadnja, glej, mar niso zapisana v knjigi Judovih in Izraelovih kraljev?

27 And at the time when Amasias departed from the Lord, then they formed a conspiracy against him; and he fled from Jerusalem to Lachis: and they sent after him to Lachis, and slew him there.

Torej po času, ko se je Amacjá odvrnil od sledenja Gospodu, so v Jeruzalemu zoper njega skovali zaroto; on pa je pobegnil v Lahíš. Toda poslali so za njim v Lahíš in ga tam usmrtili.

28 And they took him up on horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of David.

Pripeljali so ga na konjih in ga pokopali z njegovimi očeti v Judovem mestu.
