1It happened after this, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
1Poslije toga Moabovi i Amonovi sinovi, a s njima i neki od Meunjana, zaratiše na Jošafata.
2Then some came who told Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea from Syria. Behold, they are in Hazazon Tamar” (that is, En Gedi).
2Ali Jošafat dobi ovu vijest: "Dolazi na te veliko mnoštvo s one strane mora, iz Edoma; i eno ga u Haseson Tamaru, to jest u En Gediju."
3Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set himself to seek to Yahweh. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
3Jošafat se uplaši i stade tražiti Jahvu te oglasi post po svoj Judeji.
4Judah gathered themselves together, to seek help from Yahweh. They came out of all the cities of Judah to seek Yahweh.
4Skupili se Judejci da traže Jahvu: dolazili iz svih judejskih gradova da ga traže.
5Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Yahweh, before the new court;
5Tada Jošafat ustade u judejskom zboru u Jeruzalemu, u Domu Jahvinu, pred novim predvorjem
6and he said, “Yahweh, the God of our fathers, aren’t you God in heaven? Aren’t you ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in your hand, so that no one is able to withstand you.
6i reče: "Jahve, Bože otaca naših, ti si Bog na nebu i vladaš nad svim krivobožačkim kraljevstvima. U tvojoj je ruci takva sila i jakost da se nitko ne može održati pred tobom.
7Didn’t you, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it to the seed of Abraham your friend forever?
7Ti si, o Bože naš, istjerao stanovnike ove zemlje pred svojim izraelskim narodom i dao je zasvagda potomstvu svoga prijatelja Abrahama;
8They lived in it, and have built you a sanctuary in it for your name, saying,
8i nastanili su se u njoj i sagradili u njoj Svetište tvojem Imenu govoreći:
9‘If evil comes on us—the sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine—we will stand before this house, and before you, (for your name is in this house), and cry to you in our affliction, and you will hear and save.’
9'Kad navali na nas kakvo zlo, osvetni mač ili kuga, ili glad, te kad stanemo pred ovim Domom i pred tobom, jer je tvoje Ime u ovom Domu, i zavapimo k tebi iz svoje nevolje, usliši nas i spasi.'
10Now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom you would not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and didn’t destroy them;
10Sada, evo, Amonovi i Moabovi sinovi, i oni iz Seirske gore, preko kojih nisi dao Izraelu da prođe kad je dolazio iz zemlje egipatske, nego ih je obišao i nije ih zatro -
11behold, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit.
11sada, dakle, oni nama uzvraćaju zlom, došavši da nas otjeraju s baštine koju si nam ti dao.
12Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that comes against us; neither know we what to do, but our eyes are on you.”
12O Bože naš, zar im nećeš suditi? Jer u nas nema sile prema tome velikom mnoštvu koje dolazi na nas niti mi znamo što da radimo, nego su nam oči uprte u te."
13All Judah stood before Yahweh, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
13Svi su Judejci stajali pred Jahvom, s malom djecom, sa ženama i sinovima.
14Then the Spirit of Yahweh came on Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly;
14Tada siđe Jahvin duh usred zbora na Jahaziela, sina Zaharije, sina Benaje, sina Jeiela, sina Matanijina - levita od Asafovih sinova.
15and he said, “Listen, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat. Thus says Yahweh to you, ‘Don’t be afraid, neither be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
15On reče: "Pozorno slušajte, svi Judejci, Jeruzalemci i ti, kralju Jošafate! Ovako vam govori Jahve: 'Ne bojte se i ne plašite se toga velikog mnoštva, jer ovo nije vaš rat, nego Božji.
16Tomorrow go down against them. Behold, they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz. You shall find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
16Sutra siđite na njih; oni će se penjati uz Hasiški uspon, a vi ćete ih sresti nakraj doline prema Jeruelskoj pustinji.
17You will not need to fight this battle. Set yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed. Go out against them tomorrow, for Yahweh is with you.’”
17Ne treba da se bijete; postavite se, stojte pa gledajte kako će vam pomoći Jahve. Oj Judo i Jeruzaleme, ne bojte se i ne plašite se; sutra iziđite pred njih, i Jahve će biti s vama!'"
18Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Yahweh, worshipping Yahweh.
18Tada Jošafat pade ničice na zemlju i svi Judejci i Jeruzalemci padoše pred Jahvom da mu se poklone.
19The Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel, with an exceeding loud voice.
19Potom leviti od Kehatovih sinova i od Korahovih sinova ustadoše i počeše hvaliti na sav glas Jahvu, Boga Izraelova.
20They rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in Yahweh your God, so you shall be established! Believe his prophets, so you shall prosper.”
20Uranivši ujutro, krenuše prema pustinji Tekoi; kad su izlazili, stade Jošafat i reče: "Čujte me, oj Judejci i Jeruzalemci, pouzdajte se u Jahvu svoga Boga i održat ćete se; pouzdajte se u njegove proroke i budite sretni!"
21When he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who should sing to Yahweh, and give praise in holy array, as they went out before the army, and say, Give thanks to Yahweh; for his loving kindness endures forever.
21Potom se posavjetova s narodom i postavi Jahvine pjevače i hvalitelje koji će u svetom ruhu ići pred naoružanim četama i pjevati: "Slavite Jahvu jer je vječna ljubav njegova!"
22When they began to sing and to praise, Yahweh set ambushers against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were struck.
22Kad počeše klicati i pjevati pjesmu pohvalnicu, Jahve podiže zasjedu na Amonce, Moapce i na one iz Seirske gore koji su došli na Judu te biše razbijeni.
23For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, utterly to kill and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, everyone helped to destroy another.
23Jer su Amonovi sinovi i Moapci ustali na one iz Seirske gore da ih zatru i unište; a kad su svršili s onima iz Seira, stadoše udarati jedan na drugoga te se poklaše.
24When Judah came to the place overlooking the wilderness, they looked at the multitude; and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none who escaped.
24Kad Judejci dođoše do stražare prema pustinji i obazreše se na mnoštvo, a ono gle, mrtva tjelesa leže po zemlji; nitko se nije spasio.
25When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their spoil, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in taking the spoil, it was so much.
25Tada dođe Jošafat s narodom da pokupi plijen i nađoše ga mnogo: svakoga blaga, odjeće i dragocjenih predmeta; naplijenili su toliko da više nisu mogli nositi; tri su dana pljačkali plijen jer ga je bilo mnogo.
26On the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Beracah; for there they blessed Yahweh: therefore the name of that place was called The valley of Beracah to this day.
26Četvrti se dan sakupiše u Dolini blagoslova: ondje su hvalili Jahvu, pa se zato ono mjesto prozvalo Emek Beraka, Dolina blagoslova, do danas.
27Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in their forefront, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for Yahweh had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
27Potom se okrenuše svi Judejci i Jeruzalemci, s Jošafatom na čelu, da se vrate u Jeruzalem u veselju, jer ih je Jahve razveselio nad njihovim neprijateljima.
28They came to Jerusalem with stringed instruments and harps and trumpets to the house of Yahweh.
28Došli su u Jeruzalem s harfama, citrama i trubama u Dom Jahvin.
29The fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that Yahweh fought against the enemies of Israel.
29A strah Božji ušao je u sva zemaljska kraljevstva kad su čula da je Jahve zavojštio na Izraelove neprijatelje.
30So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; for his God gave him rest all around.
30Tako je počinulo Jošafatovo kraljevstvo, jer mu je Bog dao mir odasvud uokolo.
31Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
31Jošafat je kraljevao nad Judejcima. Bilo mu je trideset i pet godina kad se zakraljio; kraljevao je dvadeset i pet godina u Jeruzalemu; mati mu se zvala Azuba, a bila je kći Šilhijeva.
32He walked in the way of Asa his father, and didn’t turn aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh.
32Išao je putem oca Ase ne skrećući s njega nego čineći što je pravo u Jahvinim očima.
33However the high places were not taken away; neither as yet had the people set their hearts to the God of their fathers.
33Samo, uzvišice nisu bile uklonjene, jer narod još nije bio upravio svoje srce Bogu otaca.
34Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is inserted in the book of the kings of Israel.
34Ostala Jošafatova djela, od prvih do posljednjih, zapisana su u povijesti Hananijeva sina Jehua i uvrštena su u Knjigu o izraelskim kraljevima.
35After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. The same did very wickedly:
35Poslije toga udružio se judejski kralj Jošafat s izraelskim kraljem Ahazjom, koji je bezbožno radio.
36and he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish; and they made the ships in Ezion Geber.
36Udružio se s njim zato da naprave lađe i da odu u Taršiš; napravili su lađe u Esjon Geberu.
37Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, Yahweh has destroyed your works.” The ships were broken, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
37Dodavahuov sin Eliezer iz Mareše prorekao je protiv Jošafata: "Budući da si se udružio s Ahazjom, Jahve će razoriti tvoja djela." Lađe su se razbile i nisu mogle otploviti u Taršiš.
