2 Chronicles 15
1 The Ruach of God came on Azariah the son of Oded:
Tada duh Božji doðe na Azariju sina Odidova;
2 and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
Te otide pred Asu i reèe mu: èujte me, Aso i sve pleme Judino i Venijaminovo; Gospod je s vama, jer ste vi s njim; i ako ga ustražite, naæi æete ga; ako li ga ostavite, i on æe vas ostaviti.
3 Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching cohen, and without law.
Dugo je Izrailj bez pravoga Boga i bez sveštenika uèitelja, i bez zakona.
4 But when in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.
A da su se u nevolji svojoj obratili ka Gospodu Bogu Izrailjevu i tražili ga, našli bi ga.
5 In those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in; but great troubles were on all the inhabitants of the lands.
Ali u ovo vrijeme ne može se na miru odlaziti ni dolaziti; jer je nemir velik meðu svijem stanovnicima zemaljskim;
6 They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.
I potiru narodi jedan drugi, i gradovi jedan drugi, jer ih Bog smete svakojakim nevoljama.
7 But you be strong, and do not let your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded."
Zato vi budite hrabri i nemojte da vam klonu ruke, jer ima plata za vaš trud.
8 When Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Azariah the son of Oded the prophet, he took courage and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill country of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the vestibule of the LORD.
A kad èu Asa te rijeèi i proroštvo proroka Odida, ohrabri se, i istrijebi gadne bogove iz sve zemlje Judine i Venijaminove i iz gradova koje bješe uzeo u gori Jefremovoj, i ponovi oltar Gospodnji koji bijaše pred trijemom Gospodnjim.
9 He gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who lived 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.
Potom sazva sve pleme Judino i Venijaminovo i došljake koji bijahu kod njih od Jefrema i Manasije i Simeuna, jer ih mnogo prebježe k njemu iz naroda Izrailjeva kad vidješe da je Gospod Bog njegov s njim.
10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
I skupiše se u Jerusalim treæega mjeseca petnaeste godine carovanja Asina.
11 They sacrificed to the LORD in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep.
I u onaj dan prinesoše Gospodu žrtve od plijena koji dognaše, sedam stotina volova i sedam tisuæa ovaca.
12 They entered into the covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;
I uhvatiše vjeru da traže Gospoda Boga otaca svojih svijem srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom;
13 and that whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
A ko god ne bi tražio Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva, da se pogubi, bio mali ili veliki, èovjek ili žena.
14 They swore to the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
I zakleše se Gospodu glasom velikim i uz klikovanje i uz trube i rogove.
15 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 all around.
I radovaše se sav narod Judin radi te zakletve, jer iz svega srca svojega zakleše se, i od sve volje svoje tražiše ga i naðoše ga; i Gospod im dade mir otsvuda.
16 Also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and made dust of it, and burnt it in the Kidron Valley.
Jošte i Mahu mater svoju svrže Asa s vlasti, jer bješe naèinila u lugu idola; i Asa obali idola njezina i izlomi ga i sažeže na potoku Kedronu.
17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
Ali visine ne biše oborene u Izrailju, ali srce Asino bješe pravo svega vijeka njegova.
18 He brought into God's house the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
I unese u dom Božji što bješe posvetio otac njegov i što bješe sam posvetio, srebro i zlato i sudove.
19 There was no more war to the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
I ne bi rata do trideset pete godine carovanja Asina.
