1Беше Амасији двадесет и пет година кад поче царовати, и царова двадесет и девет година у Јерусалиму. Матери му беше име Јоадана из Јерусалима.
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.
2Он чињаше што је право пред Господом, али не целим срцем.
2And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
3И кад се утврди у царству, поби слуге своје који убише цара оца његовог.
3Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.
4Али синове њихове не погуби, него учини како пише у закону, у књизи Мојсијевој, где је заповедио Господ говорећи: Очеви да не гину за синове, ни синови за очеве, него сваки за свој грех нека гине.
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.
5Иза тога скупи Амасија народ Јудин, и постави по домовима отачким хиљаднике и стотинике по свој земљи Јудиној и Венијаминовој, и изброја их од двадесет година и више, и нађе их триста хиљада војника избраних, који ношаху копље и штит.
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.
6И јоште најми између Израиљаца сто хиљада храбрих људи за сто таланата сребра.
6He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.
7Али дође му човек Божји и рече: Царе, да не иде с тобом војска израиљска, јер Господ није с Израиљцима нити са синовима Јефремовим.
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.
8Него иди ти, и буди храбар у боју; иначе ће те оборити Бог пред непријатељем, јер Бог може и помоћи и оборити.
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.
9Тада рече Амасија човеку Божјем: А шта ће бити са сто таланата што сам дао војсци Израиљевој? А човек Божји рече: Има Господ да ти да више од тога.
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.
10И тако одвоји Амасија војску што му беше дошла од Јефрема да отиду у своје место; а они се врло расрдише на Јуду, и вратише се у своје место с великим гневом.
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.
11А Амасија ослободивши се поведе народ свој и отиде у слану долину, и поби десет хиљада синова Сирових;
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.
12И десет хиљада живих заробише Јудејци, и одведоше их на врх стене, и побацаше их са врх стене да се сви распадоше.
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.
13А војници које Амасија посла натраг да не иду с њим у бој, навалише на градове Јудине од Самарије до Вет-Орона, и побише по њима три хиљаде, и запленише велик плен.
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.
14А кад се врати Амасија разбивши Идумеје, донесе богове синова Сирових, и постави их себи за богове, и клањаше им се и кађаше им.
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.
15Тада се разгневи Господ на Амасију, и посла к њему пророка, који му рече: Зашто тражиш богове тог народа, који не избавише свој народ из твоје руке?
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?
16И кад говораше цару, он му рече: Јеси ли постављен цару за саветника? Престани; зашто да погинеш? И тако преста пророк, али рече: Знам да те је Бог наумио истребити кад то радиш а не слушаш савет мој.
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.
17Тада смисли Амасија, цар Јудин, и посла к Јоасу сина Јоахаза сина Јујевог, цару Израиљевом, и поручи: Ходи да се огледамо.
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.
18А Јоас цар Израиљев посла к Амасији цару Јудином и поручи му: Трн на Ливану посла ка кедру на Ливану, и поручи: Дај своју кћер сину мом за жену. Али наиђе зверје ливанско и изгази трн.
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.
19Велиш, побио си Едомце, па се понесе срце твоје, и тражиш славе; седи код куће своје; зашто би се заплетао у зло да паднеш и ти и Јуда с тобом?
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?
20Али не послуша Амасија, јер од Господа то би да их да у руке непријатељу, што тражише богове едомске.
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.
21И отиде Јоас цар Израиљев, и огледаше се, он и Амасија цар Јудин, у Вет-Семесу Јудином.
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.
22Али Јуду разби Израиљ, те побегоше сваки ка свом шатору.
22And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
23А Амасију цара Јудиног, сина Јоаса сина Јоахазовог, ухвати Јоас цар Израиљев у Вет-Семесу, и одведе га у Јерусалим; и обори зид јерусалимски од врата Јефремових до врата на углу, четири стотине лаката.
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.
24И узе све злато и сребро и све посуђе што се нађе у дому Божијем у Овид-Едома и у ризници дома царског, и таоце, па се врати у Самарију.
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.
25И поживе Амасија син Јоасов цар Јудин по смрти Јоаса сина Јоахаза цара Израиљевог петнаест година.
25And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
26А остала дела Амасијина прва и последња, ето нису ли записана у књизи о царевима Јудиним и Израиљевим?
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?
27И пошто Амасија одступи од Господа, дигоше буну на њ у Јерусалиму, а он побеже у Лахис. Али послаше за њим у Лахис, и убише га онде.
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.
28И донесоше га на коњима и погребоше га код отаца његових у граду Јудином.
28And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
