1Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
1Amazija je bil petindvajset let star, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je devetindvajset let v Jeruzalemu; in materi njegovi je bilo ime Joadana iz Jeruzalema.
2He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, but not with a perfect heart.
2In delal je, kar je bilo prav v očeh GOSPODOVIH, ali nikar z nerazdeljenim srcem.
3Now it happened, when the kingdom was established to him, that he killed his servants who had killed the king his father.
3In ko mu je bilo kraljestvo utrjeno, je pobil hlapce svoje, ki so bili ubili kralja, očeta njegovega.
4But he didn’t put their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as Yahweh 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.”
4Ali njih otrok ni usmrtil, temuč storil je po tem, kar je pisano v zakonu, v knjigi Mojzesovi, kakor je zapovedal GOSPOD, rekoč: Očetje naj se ne usmrte za otroke, tudi ne otroci za očete, temuč sleherni umrje za svoj greh.
5Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and ordered them according to their fathers’ houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go forth to war, who could handle spear and shield.
5Amazija je tudi zbral Judo in jih je postavil po očetovskih družinah, po poveljnikih nad tisoč in po poveljnikih nad sto, z vsega Judovega in Benjaminovega; in preštel jih je od dvajsetletnih in više ter jih je našel tristo tisoč izbranih mož, zmožnih iti v vojno, ki so mogli nositi sulico in ščit.
6He hired also one hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for one hundred talents of silver.
6Vrhutega je najel iz Izraela sto tisoč močnih vojščakov za sto talentov srebra.
7A man of God came to him, saying, “O king, don’t let the army of Israel go with you; for Yahweh is not with Israel, with all the children of Ephraim.
7A mož Božji pride k njemu in reče: O kralj, ne jemlji vojske iz Izraela s seboj; zakaj GOSPOD ni z Izraelom, ni z vsemi Efraimovimi otroki.
8But if you will go, take action, be strong for the battle. God will overthrow you before the enemy; for God has power to help, and to overthrow.”
8Ampak pojdi sam, delaj, ojači se za boj; Bog te sicer pahne na tla pred sovražnikom, zakaj Bog ima moč i pomagati i poraziti.
9Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “Yahweh is able to give you much more than this.”
9Amazija pa reče možu Božjemu: A kaj je storiti zastran tistih sto talentov, ki sem jih dal četam izraelskim? In mož Božji odgovori: Dosti ima GOSPOD, da ti da več nego to.
10Then Amaziah separated them, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: therefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.
10Nato jih Amazija oddeli, namreč čete, ki so prišle k njemu iz Efraima, naj gredo v svoj kraj. Zato se njih srd silno razvname nad Judo, in povrnejo se domov v silni jezi.
11Amaziah took courage, and led forth his people, and went to the Valley of Salt, and struck ten thousand of the children of Seir.
11Amazija pa se ohrabri in pelje ven ljudstvo svoje ter gre v Solno dolino in porazi iz sinov Seirovih deset tisoč.
12The children of Judah carry away ten thousand alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and threw them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were broken in pieces.
12Deset tisoč pa so jih ujeli sinovi Judovi živih ter so jih peljali na vrh skale in pometali s skalnega vrha v globočino, da so se vsi razpočili.
13But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell on the cities of Judah, from Samaria even to Beth Horon, and struck of them three thousand, and took much spoil.
13Ali možje iz čet, ki jih je bil Amazija odslovil, da ne bi šli ž njim v boj, so vdrli v mesta Judova, od Samarije do Bet-horona, in jih pobili tri tisoč ter pobrali mnogo plena.
14Now it happened, after that Amaziah had 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 to them.
14Zgodi se pa, ko se je vrnil Amazija s poboja Edomcev, da prinese bogove sinov Seirovih in jih postavi za svoje bogove, in je molil pred njimi ter jim kadil.
15Therefore the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet, who said to him, “Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of your hand?”
15Zato se razvname jeza GOSPODOVA zoper Amazija in pošlje k njemu proroka, ki mu reče: Čemu iščeš tistega ljudstva bogove, ki niso oteli svojega ljudstva iz tvoje roke?
16It happened, as he talked with him, that the king said to him, “Have we made you one of the king’s counselors? Stop! Why should you be struck down?” Then the prophet stopped, and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this, and have not listened to my counsel.”
16In ko je govoril k njemu, mu veli kralj: Smo li tebe postavili kralju za svetovalca? Nehaj! čemu hočeš biti ubit? In neha prorok in reče: Vem, da je Bog sklenil te končati, ker si storil to in nisi poslušal sveta mojega.
17Then Amaziah king of Judah consulted his advisers, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us look one another in the face.”
17Potem se posvetuje Amazija, kralj Judov, in pošlje h kralju Izraelovemu Joasu, sinu Joahaza, sinú Jehujevega, ter sporoči: Pridi, da si pogledava v lice!
18Joash 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 your daughter to my son as his wife; then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle.
18Joas pa, kralj Izraelov, pošlje k Amaziju, kralju Judovemu, in sporoči: Osat, ki je bil na Libanonu, je poslal k cedri libanonski sporočit: Daj svojo hčer sinu mojemu za ženo! V tem je šla mimo divja zver z Libanona in je poteptala osat.
19You say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast. Now stay at home. Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?’”
19Ti misliš: Poglej, jaz sem porazil Edomce! in srce tvoje te povzdiguje, da si pridobiš slavo. Ostani doma! Zakaj siliš v nesrečo, da padeš ti in Juda s teboj?
20But Amaziah would not listen; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought after the gods of Edom.
20Ali Amazija ni hotel poslušati, kajti od Boga je bilo, da jih izroči njih sovražnikom v pest, zato ker so iskali bogov Edomcev.
21So Joash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
21Tedaj je šel gori Joas, kralj Izraelov, in pogledala sta si v lice on in Amazija, kralj Judov, v Betsemesu, ki je na Judovem.
22Judah was defeated by Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.
22In Juda je izgubil bitko pred Izraelom, in bežal je vsak v šator svoj.
23Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
23In Joas, kralj Izraelov, je ujel Amazija, kralja Judovega, sina Joasa, sinu Joahazovega, v Betsemesu ter ga pripeljal v Jeruzalem, in podrl je zidove jeruzalemske od vrat Efraimovih do Vogelnih vrat, štiristo komolcev.
24He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in God’s house with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
24In vzel je vse zlato in srebro in vse posode, kar jih je bilo v hiši Božji pri Obededomu, tudi zaklade hiše kraljeve, tudi zastavljence, in vrnil se je v Samarijo.
25Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
25Amazija pa, sin Joasov, kralj Judov, je živel po smrti Joasa, sina Joahaza, kralja Izraelovega, še petnajst let.
26Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, aren’t they written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
26Druge zgodbe Amazijeve, prve in poslednje, glej, niso li zapisane v knjigi kraljev Judovih in Izraelovih?
27Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following Yahweh, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and killed him there.
27A potem, odkar je Amazija odstopil od GOSPODA, so napravili zaroto zoper njega v Jeruzalemu; on pa je pobegnil v Lahis, in poslali so za njim v Lahis in ga tam usmrtili.In prinesli so ga na konjih in ga pokopali z očeti njegovimi v stolnem mestu Judovem.
28They brought him on horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
28In prinesli so ga na konjih in ga pokopali z očeti njegovimi v stolnem mestu Judovem.
