2 Chronicles 16
1 Then, in the thirty-sixth year of his reign, Baasha, the king of Israel, ascended against Judah. And he encircled Ramah with a wall, so that no one could safely depart or enter from the kingdom of Asa.
V šestintridesetem letu Asájevega kraljevanja je zoper Juda prišel Izraelov kralj Bašá in gradil Ramo z namenom, da nikomer ne bi dovolil iti ven ali priti noter k Judovemu kralju Asáju.
2 Therefore, Asa brought forth silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the Lord, and from the treasuries of the king. And he sent to Benhadad, the king of Syria, who was living in Damascus, saying:
Potem je Asá prinesel ven srebro in zlato iz zakladnic Gospodove hiše in kraljeve hiše ter poslal k sirskemu kralju Ben Hadádu, ki je prebival v Damasku, rekoč:
3 “There is a pact between me and you. Also, my father and your father had an agreement. For this reason, I have sent silver and gold to you, so that you may break the pact that you have with Baasha, the king of Israel, and so that you may cause him to withdraw from me.”
»Zaveza je med menoj in teboj, kakor je bila med mojim očetom in tvojim očetom. Glej, poslal sem ti srebro in zlato; pojdi in prelomi svojo zavezo z Izraelovim kraljem Bašájem, da lahko odide od mene.«
4 And when he verified this, Benhadad sent the leaders of his armies to the cities of Israel. And they struck Ahion, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the walled cities of Naphtali.
Ben Hadád je prisluhnil kralju Asáju in poslal poveljnike svoje vojske zoper Izraelova mesta in udarili so Ijón, Dan, Abél Majim in vsa Neftálijeva skladiščna mesta.
5 And when Baasha had heard of it, he ceased to build around Ramah, and he interrupted his work.
Pripetilo se je, ko je Bašá to slišal, da je prenehal graditi Ramo in opustil svoje delo.
6 Then king Asa took all of Judah, and they carried away from Ramah the stones and the wood that Baasha had prepared for the things to be built. And he built up Gibeah and Mizpah with them.
Potem je kralj Asá vzel vsega Juda in odnesli so proč kamenje iz Rame in njen les, s katerim je Bašá gradil; s tem je gradil Gebo in Micpo.
7 In that time, the prophet Hanani went to Asa, the king of Judah, and he said to him: “Because you have faith in the king of Syria, and not in the Lord your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand.
Ob tistem času je k Judovemu kralju Asáju prišel videc Hananí in mu rekel: »Ker si se zanašal na sirskega kralja in se nisi zanesel na Gospoda, svojega Boga, zato je vojska sirskega kralja pobegnila iz tvoje roke.
8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Libyans much more numerous in chariots, and horsemen, and an exceedingly great multitude? Yet when you believed in the Lord, he delivered them into your hand.
Mar niso bili Etiopijci in Libijci ogromna vojska z mnogimi bojnimi vozovi in konjeniki? Vendar ker si se zanesel na Gospoda, jih je izročil v tvojo roko.
9 For the eyes of the Lord contemplate the entire earth, and offer fortitude to those who believe in him with a perfect heart. And so, you acted foolishly. And so, because of this, from the present time wars shall rise up against you.”
Kajti Gospodove oči tekajo sem ter tja po vsej celotni zemlji, da se izkaže močnega v korist tistih, katerih srce je popolno do njega. V tem si storil nespametno, zato boš od sedaj naprej imel vojne.
10 And Asa was angry against the seer, and he ordered him to be sent into prison. For indeed, he had been very indignant over this. And in that time, he put to death very many of the people.
Potem je bil Asá ogorčen nad vidcem in ga vrgel v jetnišnico, kajti zaradi te stvari je bil ogorčen nanj. In Asá je isti čas zatiral nekatere izmed ljudstva.
11 But the works of Asa, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Glej, dejanja Asája, prva in zadnja, glej, ta so zapisana v knjigi Judovih in Izraelovih kraljev.
12 And now Asa became ill, in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, with a very severe pain in his feet. And yet, in his infirmity, he did not seek the Lord. Instead, he trusted more in the skill of physicians.
Asá je bil v devetintridesetem letu svojega kraljevanja bolan na svojih stopalih, dokler ni bila njegova bolezen silno velika, vendar se v svoji bolezni ni obrnil h Gospodu, temveč k zdravnikom.
13 And he slept with his fathers. And he died in the forty-first year of his reign.
Asá je zaspal s svojimi očeti in umrl v enainštiridesetem letu svojega kraljevanja.
14 And they buried him in his own sepulcher, which he had made for himself in the City of David. And they placed him upon his bed, full of the aromatics and ointments of courtesans, which were composed with the skill of the perfumers. And they burned these over him with very great ostentation.
Pokopali so ga v njegovih lastnih mavzolejih, ki si jih je naredil zase v Davidovem mestu in ga položili v posteljo, ki je bila napolnjena s prijetnimi dišavami in različnimi vrstami dišav, pripravljenih po lekarnarski umetnosti. Zanj so naredili zelo velik sežig [dišav].
