¹In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, 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.

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.

²And Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of Jehovah and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, who 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, and between my father and thy father: behold, I send 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 Ben-hadad hearkened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his forces against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon and Dan and Abelmaim, and all the store-magazines of the 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 of it, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.

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

⁶And king Asa took all Judah; and they carried away the stones and the timber from Ramah, with which Baasha had been building, and he built with them 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 hast not relied on Jehovah thy God, therefore has the army of the king of Syria escaped out of thy 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 Libyans a huge army, with very many chariots and horsemen? but when thou didst rely on Jehovah, he delivered them into thy 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 Jehovah run to and fro through the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly; for 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.

¹⁰And Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was enraged with him because of this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at 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, behold, 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-ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was extremely great; yet in his disease he did not seek Jehovah, but 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 sepulchre, which he had excavated for himself in the city of David, and laid him in a bed filled with spices, a mixture of divers kinds prepared by the perfumer's 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.
