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

¹V osemnajstem letu kralja Jeroboama, sina Nebatovega, je zakraljeval Abijam nad Judo.

²He reigned three years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

²Tri leta je kraljeval v Jeruzalemu; in materi njegovi je bilo ime Maaka, hči Abisalomova.

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

³In živel je v vseh grehih očeta svojega, kar jih je on bil storil pred njim; in srce njegovo ni bilo popolnoma vdano GOSPODU, Bogu svojemu, kakor je bilo srce Davida, očeta njegovega.

⁴Nevertheless for David’s sake, Yahweh his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem;

⁴Ali zavoljo Davida mu je dal GOSPOD, Bog njegov, svetilo v Jeruzalemu, da je obudil njegovega sina za njim in ohranil obstanek Jeruzalemu,

⁵because David did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and didn’t turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

⁵zato ker je David delal, kar je bilo prav v očeh GOSPODOVIH, in se ni umaknil ničemur, kar mu je velel, vse svoje žive dni, razen v zadevi Urija Hetejca.

⁶Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

⁶Bil pa je boj med Roboamom in Jeroboamom, dokler je živel.

⁷The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

⁷Druge zgodbe Abijamove in vse, kar je storil, ni li pisano v knjigi letopisov kraljev Judovih? In bila je vojska med Abijamom in Jeroboamom.

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

⁸In Abijam je legel k očetom svojim, in pokopali so ga v mestu Davidovem. Asa pa, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

⁹In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Asa to reign over Judah.

⁹V dvajsetem letu Jeroboama, kralja Izraelovega, je zakraljeval Asa nad Judo,

¹⁰He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

¹⁰in je vladal enoinštirideset let v Jeruzalemu. In materi njegovi je bilo ime Maaka, hči Abisalomova.

¹¹Asa did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, as did David his father.

¹¹In Asa je delal, kar je bilo prav v očeh GOSPODOVIH, kakor David, oče njegov.

¹²He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

¹²Kajti odpravil je nečistosti posvečene moške iz dežele in odstranil vse ostudne malike, ki so jih napravili njegovi očetje.

¹³Also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

¹³Vrhutega je odstavil Maako, mater svojo, da ne bi imela kraljičje oblasti, ker je bila naredila ostudno podobo Ašeri. In Asa je zatrl njeno ostudno podobo ter jo je sežgal pri potoku Kidronu.

¹⁴But the high places were not taken away: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with Yahweh all his days.

¹⁴Toda višav niso odpravili; vendar pa je bilo srce Asovo nerazdeljeno proti GOSPODU vse njegove žive dni.

¹⁵He brought into the house of Yahweh the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.

¹⁵In prinesel je v hišo GOSPODOVO, kar je bil posvetil oče njegov in kar je sam posvetil, srebro, zlato in posode.

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

¹⁶Bil pa je boj med Asom in Baasom, kraljem Izraelovim, vse njiju žive dni.

¹⁷Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

¹⁷In Baasa, kralj Izraelov, je prišel gori proti Judi in je zidal Ramo, da bi nihče ne mogel hoditi sem ali tja na stran Asovo, kralja Judovega.

¹⁸Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered 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 lived at Damascus, saying,

¹⁸Tedaj je Asa pobral vse srebro in zlato, kar ga je preostalo v zakladnici hiše GOSPODOVE in v zakladnici kraljeve hiše, in ga je izročil hlapcem svojim, ter jih je poslal k Ben-hadadu, sinu Tabrimona, sina Heziona, kralja v Siriji, ki je prebival v Damasku, da naj sporoče:

¹⁹“There is a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.”

¹⁹Zaveza je med menoj in teboj, med mojim in tvojim očetom; glej, pošljem ti v dar srebra in zlata: pojdi, razderi zavezo svojo z Baasom, kraljem Izraelovim, da se umakne od mene!

²⁰Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

²⁰In Ben-hadad je ugodil kralju in je poslal vojsk svojih poveljnike zoper mesta Izraelova, in udarili so Ijon in Dan in Abel Betmaako in ves Kinerot z vso pokrajino Neftalijevo vred.

²¹It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah.

²¹In ko je to slišal Baasa, je nehal zidati Ramo, in ostal je v Tirzi.

²²Then king Asa made a proclamation to all Judah; none was exempted: and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and king Asa built therewith Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

²²Nato je razglasil kralj Asa ukaz po vsem Judovem, da nikomur ni bilo izgovora. In pobrali so z Rame kamenje in les, s katerim je bil zidal Baasa, in kralj Asa je s tem zgradil Gebo Benjaminovo in Micpo.

²³Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

²³Druge zgodbe Asove pa in vsa moč njegova in vse, kar je storil, in mesta, ki jih je sezidal, ali ni zapisano v knjigi letopisov kraljev Judovih? A v svoji starosti je bil bolan na nogah.

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

²⁴In legel je Asa k očetom svojim, in pokopali so ga ž njega očeti v mestu Davida, očeta njegovega. In Josafat, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

²⁵Nadab 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.

²⁵Nadab pa, sin Jeroboamov, je zakraljeval Izraelu v drugem letu Asa, kralja Judovega, in kraljeval je nad Izraelom dve leti

²⁶He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.

²⁶in delal, kar je bilo zlo v očeh GOSPODOVIH, in hodil po poti očeta svojega in v grehu njegovem, s katerim je bil v greh zavajal Izraela.

²⁷Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.

²⁷Baasa pa, sin Ahijev, iz Isaharjevega rodu, je storil zavezo zoper njega; in Baasa je ubil Nadaba pri Gibetonu, ki je Filistejcev mesto; kajti Nadab in ves Izrael je oblegal Gibeton.

²⁸Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him, and reigned in his place.

²⁸V tretjem letu Asa, kralja Judovega, ga je usmrtil Baasa in je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

²⁹It happened that, as soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam: he didn’t leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him; according to the saying of Yahweh, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;

²⁹Komaj pa je bil nastopil kraljestvo, je pomoril vso hišo Jeroboamovo, in ni pustil od Jeroboamovih žive ne ene duše, dokler ga ni zatrl po besedi GOSPODOVI, ki jo je govoril po hlapcu svojem, Ahiju Silonskem,

³⁰for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and with which he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger.

³⁰zaradi grehov Jeroboamovih, ki jih je zagrešil in ž njimi zapeljeval v greh Izraela, zaradi draženja, s katerim je dražil v srd GOSPODA, Boga Izraelovega.

³¹Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

³¹Druge pa zgodbe Nadabove in vse, kar je storil, ni li pisano v knjigi letopisov kraljev Izraelovih?

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

³²In bil je boj med Asom in Baasom, kraljem Izraelovim, vse njiju žive dni.

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

³³V tretjem letu Asa, kralja Judovega, je zakraljeval Baasa, sin Ahijev, vsemu Izraelu v Tirzi in je vladal štiriindvajset let.In delal je, kar je bilo hudo v očeh GOSPODOVIH, in je hodil po poti Jeroboamovi in v grehu njegovem, ki je bil ž njim v greh zavajal Izraela.

³⁴He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.

³⁴In delal je, kar je bilo hudo v očeh GOSPODOVIH, in je hodil po poti Jeroboamovi in v grehu njegovem, ki je bil ž njim v greh zavajal Izraela.
