2 Chronicles 14

1 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.

A kad poèinu Avija kod otaca svojih i pogreboše ga u gradu Davidovu, zacari se na njegovo mjesto Asa sin njegov. Za njegova vremena poèinu zemlja deset godina.

2 And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of Yhwh his God:

I èinjaše Asa što je dobro i pravo pred Gospodom Bogom njegovijem.

3 For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves:

Jer obori oltare tuðe i visine, i izlomi likove njihove i isijeèe lugove njihove.

4 And commanded Judah to seek Yhwh God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.

I zapovjedi sinovima Judinijem da traže Gospoda Boga otaca svojih i da izvršuju zakon i zapovijest njegovu.

5 Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.

Obori po svijem gradovima Judinijem visine i sunèane likove, i poèinu carstvo za njegova vremena.

6 And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because Yhwh had given him rest.

I sazida tvrde gradove u zemlji Judinoj, jer zemlja bijaše u miru, niti bješe rata s njim onijeh godina, jer mu Gospod dade mir.

7 Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us; because we have sought Yhwh our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.

I reèe Judi: da sazidamo ove gradove i da ih opašemo zidom i kulama i vratima i prijevornicama, dok je zemlja naša; jer tražismo Gospoda Boga svojega, tražismo ga i dade nam mir otsvuda. I tako zidaše, i biše sreæni.

8 And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valour.

I imaše Asa vojske trista tisuæa od Jude sa štitovima i kopljima, a od Venijamina dvjesta i osamdeset tisuæa sa štitovima i lukovima. Svi bijahu hrabri vojnici.

9 And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah.

I izide na njih Zara Etiopljanin s tisuæu tisuæa vojske i s trista kola, i doðe do Marise.

10 Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

I Asa izide preda nj; i uvrstaše se vojske u dolini Sefati kod Marise.

11 And Asa cried unto Yhwh his God, and said, Yhwh, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O Yhwh our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O Yhwh, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.

I zavapi Asa ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu govoreæi: Gospode, tebi je ništa pomoæi množini ili nejakomu; pomozi nam, Gospode Bože naš, jer se u te uzdamo, i u tvoje ime doðosmo na ovo mnoštvo. Gospode, ti si Bog naš, ne daj da može što na te èovjek.

12 So Yhwh smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

I razbi Gospod Etiopljane pred Asom i pred Judom, i pobjegoše Etiopljani.

13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before Yhwh, and before his army; and they carried away very much spoil.

I tjera ih Asa i narod koji bijaše s njim dori do Gerara. I popadaše Etiopljani da ih nijedan ne osta živ, jer se satrše pred Gospodom i pred vojskom njegovom; i oni odnesoše plijen velik veoma.

14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of Yhwh came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them.

I pobiše sve gradove oko Gerara, jer doðe na njih strah Gospodnji, i oplijeniše sve one gradove, jer bijaše u njima mnogo plijena.

15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.

Pobiše i po stanovima pastirskim ljude, i odvedoše mnogo ovaca i kamila; i vratiše se u Jerusalim.
