2 Chronicles 15
1 And the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded:
Božji Duh je prišel nad Odédovega sina Azarjá.
2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, Hear you me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while you be with him; and if you seek him, he will be found of you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
Ta je odšel ven, da sreča Asája in mu rekel: »Prisluhni mi, Asá, ves Juda in Benjamin. Gospod je z vami, dokler ste vi z njim in če ga iščete, se vam bo dal najti, toda če ga zapustite, bo on zapustil vas.
3 Now for a long season Israel has been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
Torej dolgo časa je bil Izrael brez resničnega Boga, brez duhovnika, ki bi učil in brez postave.
4 But when they in their trouble did turn to the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.
Toda ko so se v svoji stiski obrnili h Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu in ga iskali, se jim je dal najti.
5 And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were on all the inhabitants of the countries.
V tistih časih ni bilo miru tistemu, ki je odšel ven niti tistemu, ki je vstopil, temveč so bile velike nevšečnosti nad vsemi prebivalci dežel.
6 And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.
Narod je bil uničen od naroda in mesto od mesta, kajti Bog jih je jezil z vsemi nadlogami.
7 Be you strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.
Bodite torej močni in vaše roke naj ne bodo šibke, kajti vaše delo bo nagrajeno.«
8 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.
Ko je Asá slišal te besede in prerokbo preroka Odéda, se je opogumil in odstranil gnusne malike iz vse Judove in Benjaminove dežele in iz mest, ki jih je vzel z gore Efrájim in obnovil Gospodov oltar, ki je bil pred Gospodovim preddverjem.
9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
Zbral je ves Juda in Benjamin in z njimi tujce iz Efrájima, Manáseja in Simeona, kajti iz Izraela so se v obilju zatekali k njemu, ko so videli, da je bil Gospod, njegov Bog, z njim.
10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
Tako so se zbrali skupaj pri Jeruzalemu, v tretjem mesecu, v petnajstem letu Asájevega kraljevanja.
11 And they offered to the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
Isti čas so darovali Gospodu od plena, ki so ga privedli, sedemsto volov in sedemsto ovc.
12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
Vstopili so v zavezo, da iščejo Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov, z vsem svojim srcem in z vso svojo dušo,
13 That whoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
da kdorkoli ne bi iskal Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, bi bil usmrčen, bodisi majhen ali velik, moški ali ženska.
14 And they swore to the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
In prisegli so Gospodu z močnim glasom, vriskanjem, s trobentami in kornéti.
15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.
Ves Juda se je veselil ob prisegi, kajti prisegli so z vsem svojim srcem in ga iskali z vso svojo željo in on se jim je dal najti. In Gospod jim je dal počitek naokoli.
16 And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
Tudi glede Maáhe, matere kralja Asája, jo je ta odstranil, da bi bila kraljica, ker si je naredila malika v ašeri. Asá je posekal njenega malika, ga poteptal in ga zažgal pri potoku Kidron.
17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
Toda visoki kraji niso bili odvzeti iz Izraela. Kljub temu je bilo Asájevo srce vse njegove dni popolno.
18 And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
V Božjo hišo je prinesel stvari, ki jih je njegov oče posvetil in te, ki jih je sam posvetil: srebro, zlato in posode.
19 And there was no more war to the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
In nobene vojne ni bilo več do petintridesetega leta Asájevega kraljevanja.
