¹Osamnaeste godine kraljevanja Jeroboama, sina Nebatova, zakraljio se Abijam u Judeji.

¹And in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah.

²Tri je godine kraljevao u Jeruzalemu; njegova se majka zvala Maaka, a bila je kći Abšalomova.

²He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Maachah, a daughter of Abishalom.

³On je hodio u svim grijesima što ih je njegov otac činio prije njega, i njegovo srce nije bilo potpuno odano Jahvi, Bogu svome, kao srce njegova praoca Davida.

³And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father.

⁴Ipak, zbog Davida, dao mu je Jahve, Bog njegov, svjetiljku u Jeruzalemu, podigavši sinove njegove poslije njega i sačuvavši Jeruzalem.

⁴But for David's sake Jehovah his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, setting up his son after him, and establishing Jerusalem;

⁵Jer je David činio sve što je pravo u očima Jahvinim i za svega svoga života nije odstupio ni od čega što mu je zapovjedio, osim onog što je učinio Uriji Hetitu.

⁵because David did that which was right in the sight of Jehovah, and turned not aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Urijah the Hittite.

⁶And there had been war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

⁷Ostala povijest Abijamova, sve što je učinio, zar to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva judejskih? A bijaše rat između Abijama i Jeroboama.

⁷And the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

⁸Potom je Abijam počinuo sa svojim ocima. Sahraniše ga u Davidovu gradu; na njegovo se mjesto zakralji sin mu Asa.

⁸And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his stead.

⁹Dvadesete godine Jeroboamova kraljevanja nad Izraelom postade Asa kraljem Judeje.

⁹And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah;

¹⁰Kraljevao je četrdeset i jednu godinu u Jeruzalemu; njegova se baka zvala Maaka, a bila je kći Abšalomova.

¹⁰and he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Maachah, daughter of Abishalom.

¹¹Asa je činio što je pravo u očima Jahvinim, kao i njegov praotac David.

¹¹And Asa did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, as David his father.

¹²Protjerao je iz zemlje posvećene bludnice i uklonio sve idole koje njegovi oci bijahu načinili.

¹²And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his father had made.

¹³Sam je uklonio svoju baku s dostojanstva velike kneginje, jer bijaše načinila gada Ašeri. Asa je sasjekao njezina gada i spalio ga u potoku Kidronu.

¹³And also Maachah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol for the Asherah; and Asa cut down her idol, and burned it in the valley of Kidron.

¹⁴Ali uzvišice nisu bile uklonjene; ipak je Asino srce bilo privrženo Jahvi svega njegova života.

¹⁴But the high places were not removed; only, Asa's heart was perfect with Jehovah all his days.

¹⁵Unio je u Dom Jahvin posvećene darove svoga oca i svoje: srebro, zlato i posuđe.

¹⁵And he brought into the house of Jehovah the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated, silver and gold and vessels.

¹⁶Bio je rat između Ase i Baše, kralja izraelskoga, u sve njihove dane.

¹⁶And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

¹⁷Izraelski kralj Baša navali na Judeju i stade utvrđivati Ramu da spriječi svako kretanje judejskom kralju Asi.

¹⁷And Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, in order to let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

¹⁸Asa tada uze srebra i zlata koje je preostalo u riznicama Doma Jahvina i u riznicama kraljevskog dvora i dade ga svojim slugama te ih posla Ben-Hadadu, sinu Tabrimonovu, sinu Hezjonovu, aramejskom kralju, koji je stolovao u Damasku, i poruči mu:

¹⁸And Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hand of his servants; and king Asa sent them to Ben-Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt at Damascus, saying,

¹⁹"Neka bude savez između mene i tebe, između moga i tvoga oca; evo, šaljem ti na dar srebra i zlata: hajde, raskini savez s izraelskim kraljem Bašom da bi otišao od mene."

¹⁹There is a league between me and thee, [as] between my father and thy father; behold, I send thee a present of silver and gold: go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

²⁰Ben-Hadad posluša kralja Asu i posla svoje vojskovođe na izraelske gradove te oni pokoriše Ijon, Dan, Abel Bet-Maaku, sav Kineret i svu zemlju Naftali.

²⁰And Ben-Hadad hearkened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his forces against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and all Kinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

²¹A kada to Baša dozna, presta utvrđivati Ramu i vrati se u Tirsu.

²¹And it came to pass when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.

²²Kralj Asa sazva sve Judejce, bez izuzetka, i oni odnesoše kamenje i drvo kojima je Baša utvrđivao Ramu, i kralj Asa utvrdi time Gebu Benjaminovu i Mispu.

²²And king Asa called together all Judah: none was exempted; and they carried away the stones and the timber from Ramah, with which Baasha had been building; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

²³Ostala povijest Asina, sve njegove pobjede i sve što je učinio i gradovi koje je utvrdio, zar to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva judejskih? A u starosti bolovao je od nogu.

²³And the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Only, in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

²⁴Asa je počinuo sa svojim ocima i sahranjen je sa svojim ocima u gradu Davida, svoga praoca. Njegov sin Jošafat zakralji se mjesto njega.

²⁴And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father. And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.

²⁵Nadab, sin Jeroboamov, postade kraljem Izraela druge godine Asina kraljevanja Judejom i vladao je dvije godine Izraelom.

²⁵And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.

²⁶Činio je zlo u očima Jahvinim. Hodio je putem svoga oca i oponašao njegov grijeh na koji je navodio Izraela.

²⁶And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel sin.

²⁷Baša, sin Ahijin, iz kuće Jisakarove, uroti se protiv njega i ubi ga u Gibetonu, koji pripada Filistejcima i koji su opsjedali Nadab i sav Izrael.

²⁷And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines, when Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon.

²⁸Baša ga ubi treće godine Asina kraljevanja Judejom i zavlada mjesto njega.

²⁸And Baasha slew him in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.

²⁹Kad je postao kraljem, pobi svu kuću Jeroboamovu i ne poštedi nikoga od Jeroboamovih dokle sve ne istrijebi po riječi koju je Jahve rekao preko sluge svoga Ahije iz Šila.

²⁹And it came to pass when he was king, he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left to Jeroboam none that breathed; until he had destroyed him, according to the word of Jehovah which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

³⁰Zbog grijeha što ih je učinio i na koje je naveo Izraela i zbog gnjeva kojim je raspalio Jahvu, Boga Izraelova.

³⁰because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and wherewith he made Israel to sin; by his provocation with which he provoked Jehovah the God of Israel to anger.

³¹Ostala povijest Nadabova, i sve što je učinio, zar to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva izraelskih?

³¹And the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

³²Između Ase i Izraelova kralja Baše vladao je rat u sve njihove dane.

³²And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

³³Treće godine Asina kraljevanja Judejom postade Baša, sin Ahijin, kraljem nad svim Izraelom u Tirsi i vladao je dvadeset i četiri godine.

³³In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, for twenty-four years.

³⁴Činio je zlo u očima Jahvinim i hodio je putem Jeroboama i njegovih grijeha kojima je zavodio Izraelce.

³⁴And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin where with he made Israel to sin.
