¹In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

¹V tridsiatom šiestom roku kráľovstva Azovho vyšiel hore Báša, izraelský kráľ, proti Júdovi a staväl Rámu, aby nedal nikomu ani vyjsť ani vojsť k Azovi, judskému kráľovi.

²Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Benhadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

²Vtedy vyniesol Aza striebro a zlato z pokladov domu Hospodinovho i domu kráľovho a poslal k Ben-hadadovi, sýrskemu kráľovi, ktorý býval v Damašku, povediac:

³There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

³Je smluva medzi mnou a medzi tebou, medzi mojím otcom a medzi tvojím otcom. Hľa, posielam ti striebro a zlato. Idi, zruš svoju smluvu s Bášom, izraelským kráľom, aby odišiel hore odo mňa.

⁴And Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.

⁴A Ben-hadad poslúchol kráľa Azu a poslal veliteľov vojsk, ktoré mal, proti mestám Izraelovým, a zbili Ijjon a Dán a Ábel-maim i všetky skladištia, mestá Naftaliho.

⁵And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that he left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease.

⁵A stalo sa, keď to počul Báša, že prestal staväť Rámu a nechal stáť svoju prácu.

⁶Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha was building; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.

⁶A kráľ Aza pojal celého Júdu, a pobrali kamene mesta Rámy i jeho drevo, z ktorého staväl Báša, a vystavil z toho Gebu a Micpu.

⁷And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand.

⁷V tom čase prišiel vidiaci Chanani k Azovi, judskému kráľovi, a riekol mu: Za to, že si sa oprel na sýrskeho kráľa a neoprel si sa na Hospodina, svojho Boha, preto uniklo vojsko sýrskeho kráľa z tvojej ruky.

⁸Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand.

⁸Či nebolo Ethiopov a Lýbov množstvo vojska, čo do vozov a jazdcov, veľmi mnoho? A keď si sa oprel na Hospodina, vydal ich do tvojej ruky.

⁹For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

⁹Lebo oči Hospodinove chodia sem a ta po celej zemi, aby dokázal svoju silu pri tých, ktorých srdce je celé obrátené k nemu. Preto si bláznivo urobil, lebo odteraz budú proti tebe vojny.

¹⁰Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.

¹⁰A Aza sa rozhneval na vidiaceho a dal ho do väzenia, lebo sa bol rozzúril preto na neho. A Aza utiskoval niektorých z ľudu toho času.

¹¹And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

¹¹A hľa, deje Azove, prvé i posledné, hľa, tie sú napísané v knihe kráľov Júdových a Izraelových.

¹²And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.

¹²Potom v tridsiatom deviatom roku svojho kráľovstva onemocnel Aza na svoje nohy, a to veľmi ťažkou nemocou. No, ani vo svojej nemoci nehľadal Hospodina, ale lekárov.

¹³And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.

¹³A tak ľahol Aza a ležal so svojimi otcami. A zomrel štyridsiateho prvého roku svojho kraľovania.

¹⁴And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odorous and divers kinds of spices prepared by the apothecaries' art: and they made a very great burning for him.

¹⁴A pochovali ho v jeho hroboch, ktoré si vytesal v meste Dávidovom. A položili ho na ležište, ktoré bol naplnil voňavými vecami, a to rôznymi, a masťami, pripravenými na umelý spôsob lekárnický, a pálili mu toho hromadu, náramne veľkú.
