2 Chronicles 20
1 And it came to pass after this, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
A poslije toga sinovi Moavovi i sinovi Amonovi i s njima koji žive meðu sinovima Amonovijem, doðoše da vojuju na Josafata.
2 Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea from Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazon-tamar (the same is En-gedi).
I doðoše te javiše Josafatu govoreæi: ide na te veliko mnoštvo ispreko mora, iz Sirije; i eno ih u Asason-Tamaru, a to je En-Gad.
3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek unto the LORD; and he proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
A Josafat se uplaši, i obrati lice svoje da traži Gospoda, i oglasi post po svoj zemlji Judinoj.
4 And Judah gathered themselves together, to seek [help] of the LORD: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.
I skupiše se svi sinovi Judini da traže Gospoda, i iz svijeh gradova Judinijeh doðoše da traže Gospoda.
5 And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court;
Tada stade Josafat u zboru Judinu i Jerusalimskom u domu Gospodnjem pred trijemom novijem,
6 and he said, O LORD, the God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and art not thou ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? and in thine hand is power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee.
I reèe: Gospode Bože otaca naših! nijesi li ti Bog na nebu i vladaš svijem carstvima narodnijem? nije li u tvojoj ruci moæ i sila da ti niko ne može odoljeti?
7 Didst not thou, O our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?
Nijesi li ti, Bože naš, odagnao stanovnike ove zemlje ispred naroda svojega Izrailja, i dao je navijek sjemenu Avrama prijatelja svojega?
8 And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,
Te se naseliše u njoj, i sagradiše ti u njoj svetinju za ime tvoje govoreæi:
9 If evil come upon us, the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand before this house, and before thee, (for thy name is in this house, ) and cry unto thee in our affliction, and thou wilt hear and save.
Kad nas zadesi kako zlo, maè osvetni ili pomor ili glad, staæemo pred ovijem domom i pred tobom, jer je ime tvoje u ovom domu, i vapiæemo tebi u nevolji svojoj, usliši i izbavi.
10 And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and destroyed them not;
A sad evo, sinovi Amonovi i Moavovi i oni iz gore Sira, kroz koje nijesi dao sinovima Izrailjevijem proæi kad iðahu iz zemlje Misirske, nego ih obidoše i ne istrijebiše;
11 behold, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.
A evo, oni nam vraæaju došavši da nas istjeraju iz našljedstva tvojega, koje si nam predao.
12 O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.
Bože naš, zar im neæeš suditi? jer u nama nema snage da se opremo tome mnoštvu velikom, koje ide na nas, niti mi znamo što bismo èinili, nego su oèi naše uprte u te.
13 And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
A svi sinovi Judini stajahu pred Gospodom i djeca njihova, žene njihove i sinovi njihovi.
14 Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, came the spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation;
Tada siðe duh Gospodnji usred zbora na Jazila sina Zaharije sina Venaje sina Jeila sina Matanijina, Levita izmeðu sinova Asafovijeh,
15 and he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat: thus saith the LORD unto you, Fear not ye, neither be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
I reèe: slušajte, svi sinovi Judini i Jerusalimljani, i ti care Josafate, ovako vam veli Gospod: ne bojte se i ne plašite se toga mnoštva velikoga, jer nije vaš rat nego Božji.
16 Tomorrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the ascent of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
Sjutra izidite na njih; oni æe poæi uz brdo Zis, i naæi æete ih nakraj potoka prema pustinji Jeruilu.
17 Ye shall not need to fight in this [battle]: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed: tomorrow go out against them; for the LORD is with you.
Ne treba vi da se bijete u ovom boju; postavite se, stojte pa gledajte kako æe vas izbaviti Gospod, Judo i Jerusalime! ne bojte se i ne plašite se, sjutra izidite pred njih, i Gospod æe biti s vama.
18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.
Tada se Josafat savi licem k zemlji, i svi Judejci i Jerusalimljani padoše pred Gospodom, i pokloniše se Gospodu.
19 And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise the LORD, the God of Israel, with an exceeding loud voice.
A Leviti od sinova Katovijeh i sinova Korejevijeh ustaše, te hvališe Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva glasom veoma visokim.
20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
A ujutru ustavši rano izidoše u pustinju Tekujsku; a kad izlažahu, stade Josafat i reèe: èujte me, Judejci i Jerusalimljani: vjerujte Gospodu Bogu svojemu i biæete jaki, vjerujte prorocima njegovijem i biæete sreæni.
21 And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed them that should sing unto the LORD, and praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and say, Give thanks unto the LORD; for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
I tako dogovoriv se s narodom postavi pjevaèe Gospodnje da hvale svetu krasotu iduæi pred vojskom i govoreæi: hvalite Gospoda, jer je dovijeka milost njegova.
22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set liers in wait against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
A kad poèeše pjesmu i hvalu, obrati Gospod zasjedu na sinove Amonove i sinove Moavove i na one iz gore Sira, koji izidoše na Judu, te se razbiše.
23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.
Jer sinovi Amonovi i sinovi Moavovi ustaše na one iz gore Sira da ih pobiju i potru; i kad pobiše one iz gore Sira, udariše jedni na druge, te se potrše.
24 And when Judah came to the watch-tower of the wilderness, they looked upon the multitude; and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none that escaped.
A kad Juda doðe do stražare prema pustinji, i pogleda na mnoštvo, a to mrtva tjelesa leže po zemlji, i nijedan ne bješe ostao živ.
25 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in taking of the spoil, it was so much.
Zato doðe Josafat sa narodom svojim da pokupe plijen; i naðoše kod njih mnogo blaga i dragocjenijeh nakita na mrtvacima, i naplijeniše da veæ ne mogoše nositi; tri dana kupiše plijen, jer ga bješe mnogo.
26 And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Beracah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of that place was called The valley of Beracah, unto this day.
A èetvrti dan skupiše se u dolini blagoslovnoj, jer ondje blagosloviše Gospoda; zato se prozva mjesto dolina blagoslovna do danas.
27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
Potom okrenuše svi Judejci i Jerusalimljani i Josafat pred njima da se vrate u Jerusalim s veseljem, jer ih oveseli Gospod neprijateljima njihovijem.
28 And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD.
I doðoše u Jerusalim sa psaltirima i guslama i trubama u dom Gospodnji.
29 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
I strah Božji doðe na sva carstva zemaljska kad èuše da je Gospod vojevao na neprijatelje Izrailjeve.
30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.
I tako se smiri carstvo Josafatovo, jer mu Bog njegov dade mir otsvuda.
31 And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
I carovaše Josafat nad Judom; trideset i pet godina bijaše mu kad poèe carovati; i carova dvadeset i pet godina u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Azuva, kæi Silejeva.
32 And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD.
I hoðaše putem oca svojega Ase, niti zaðe s njega, èineæi što je pravo pred Gospodom.
33 Howbeit the high places were not taken away; neither as yet had the people set their hearts unto the God of their fathers.
Ali visine ne biše oborene, jer još ne bješe narod upravio srca svojega k Bogu otaca svojih.
34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is inserted in the book of the kings of Israel.
A ostala djela Josafatova prva i pošljednja, eno zapisana su u knjizi Juja sina Ananijeva, koja je stavljena u knjigu o carevima Izrailjevijem.
35 And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel; the same did very wickedly:
Potom združi se Josafat car Judin s Ohozijom carem Izrailjevijem, koji èinjaše bezakonja.
36 and he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.
A združi se s njim zato da naèine laðe da idu u Tarsis; i naèiniše laðe u Esion-Gaveru.
37 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath destroyed thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
Tada prorokova Elijezer sin Dodavin iz Marise za Josafata govoreæi: što si se združio s Ohozijom, zato Gospod razmetnu djela tvoja. I razbiše se laðe i ne mogoše iæi u Tarsis.
