1Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
1Amazija je bil petindvajset let star, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je devetindvajset let v Jeruzalemu; in materi njegovi je bilo ime Joadana iz Jeruzalema.
2And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
2In delal je, kar je bilo prav v očeh GOSPODOVIH, ali nikar z nerazdeljenim srcem.
3Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.
3In ko mu je bilo kraljestvo utrjeno, je pobil hlapce svoje, ki so bili ubili kralja, očeta njegovega.
4But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
4Ali njih otrok ni usmrtil, temuč storil je po tem, kar je pisano v zakonu, v knjigi Mojzesovi, kakor je zapovedal GOSPOD, rekoč: Očetje naj se ne usmrte za otroke, tudi ne otroci za očete, temuč sleherni umrje za svoj greh.
5Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.
5Amazija je tudi zbral Judo in jih je postavil po očetovskih družinah, po poveljnikih nad tisoč in po poveljnikih nad sto, z vsega Judovega in Benjaminovega; in preštel jih je od dvajsetletnih in više ter jih je našel tristo tisoč izbranih mož, zmožnih iti v vojno, ki so mogli nositi sulico in ščit.
6He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.
6Vrhutega je najel iz Izraela sto tisoč močnih vojščakov za sto talentov srebra.
7But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.
7A mož Božji pride k njemu in reče: O kralj, ne jemlji vojske iz Izraela s seboj; zakaj GOSPOD ni z Izraelom, ni z vsemi Efraimovimi otroki.
8But if thou wilt go, do it; be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down.
8Ampak pojdi sam, delaj, ojači se za boj; Bog te sicer pahne na tla pred sovražnikom, zakaj Bog ima moč i pomagati i poraziti.
9And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give thee much more than this.
9Amazija pa reče možu Božjemu: A kaj je storiti zastran tistih sto talentov, ki sem jih dal četam izraelskim? In mož Božji odgovori: Dosti ima GOSPOD, da ti da več nego to.
10Then Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.
10Nato jih Amazija oddeli, namreč čete, ki so prišle k njemu iz Efraima, naj gredo v svoj kraj. Zato se njih srd silno razvname nad Judo, in povrnejo se domov v silni jezi.
11And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand.
11Amazija pa se ohrabri in pelje ven ljudstvo svoje ter gre v Solno dolino in porazi iz sinov Seirovih deset tisoč.
12And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces.
12Deset tisoč pa so jih ujeli sinovi Judovi živih ter so jih peljali na vrh skale in pometali s skalnega vrha v globočino, da so se vsi razpočili.
13But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Bethhoron, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.
13Ali možje iz čet, ki jih je bil Amazija odslovil, da ne bi šli ž njim v boj, so vdrli v mesta Judova, od Samarije do Bet-horona, in jih pobili tri tisoč ter pobrali mnogo plena.
14Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.
14Zgodi se pa, ko se je vrnil Amazija s poboja Edomcev, da prinese bogove sinov Seirovih in jih postavi za svoje bogove, in je molil pred njimi ter jim kadil.
15Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?
15Zato se razvname jeza GOSPODOVA zoper Amazija in pošlje k njemu proroka, ki mu reče: Čemu iščeš tistega ljudstva bogove, ki niso oteli svojega ljudstva iz tvoje roke?
16And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.
16In ko je govoril k njemu, mu veli kralj: Smo li tebe postavili kralju za svetovalca? Nehaj! čemu hočeš biti ubit? In neha prorok in reče: Vem, da je Bog sklenil te končati, ker si storil to in nisi poslušal sveta mojega.
17Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.
17Potem se posvetuje Amazija, kralj Judov, in pošlje h kralju Izraelovemu Joasu, sinu Joahaza, sinú Jehujevega, ter sporoči: Pridi, da si pogledava v lice!
18And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
18Joas pa, kralj Izraelov, pošlje k Amaziju, kralju Judovemu, in sporoči: Osat, ki je bil na Libanonu, je poslal k cedri libanonski sporočit: Daj svojo hčer sinu mojemu za ženo! V tem je šla mimo divja zver z Libanona in je poteptala osat.
19Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
19Ti misliš: Poglej, jaz sem porazil Edomce! in srce tvoje te povzdiguje, da si pridobiš slavo. Ostani doma! Zakaj siliš v nesrečo, da padeš ti in Juda s teboj?
20But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom.
20Ali Amazija ni hotel poslušati, kajti od Boga je bilo, da jih izroči njih sovražnikom v pest, zato ker so iskali bogov Edomcev.
21So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
21Tedaj je šel gori Joas, kralj Izraelov, in pogledala sta si v lice on in Amazija, kralj Judov, v Betsemesu, ki je na Judovem.
22And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
22In Juda je izgubil bitko pred Izraelom, in bežal je vsak v šator svoj.
23And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
23In Joas, kralj Izraelov, je ujel Amazija, kralja Judovega, sina Joasa, sinu Joahazovega, v Betsemesu ter ga pripeljal v Jeruzalem, in podrl je zidove jeruzalemske od vrat Efraimovih do Vogelnih vrat, štiristo komolcev.
24And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obededom, and the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
24In vzel je vse zlato in srebro in vse posode, kar jih je bilo v hiši Božji pri Obededomu, tudi zaklade hiše kraljeve, tudi zastavljence, in vrnil se je v Samarijo.
25And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
25Amazija pa, sin Joasov, kralj Judov, je živel po smrti Joasa, sina Joahaza, kralja Izraelovega, še petnajst let.
26Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
26Druge zgodbe Amazijeve, prve in poslednje, glej, niso li zapisane v knjigi kraljev Judovih in Izraelovih?
27Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.
27A potem, odkar je Amazija odstopil od GOSPODA, so napravili zaroto zoper njega v Jeruzalemu; on pa je pobegnil v Lahis, in poslali so za njim v Lahis in ga tam usmrtili.In prinesli so ga na konjih in ga pokopali z očeti njegovimi v stolnem mestu Judovem.
28And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
28In prinesli so ga na konjih in ga pokopali z očeti njegovimi v stolnem mestu Judovem.
