2 Chronicles 16

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 In the thirty-sixth year of Asa's reign, Baasha, king of Israel, attacked Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent any communication with Asa, king of Judah.	1 Trideset i šeste godine Asina kraljevanja navali izraelski kralj Baša na Judeju i stade utvrđivati Ramu da spriječi svako kretanje judejskom kralju Asi.
2 Asa then brought out silver and gold from the treasuries of the temple of the LORD and of the royal palace and sent them to Ben-hadad, king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, with this message:	2 Asa tada uze srebra i zlata iz riznice doma Jahvina i kraljevskoga dvora i posla aramejskome kralju Ben-Hadadu, koji je stolovao u Damasku, i poruči mu:
3 "There is a treaty between you and me, as there was between your father and my father. See, I am sending you silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha, king of Israel, that he may withdraw from me."	3 »Neka bude savez između mene i tebe i između moga i tvoga oca. Evo, šaljem ti na dar srebra i zlata. Hajde, raskini savez s izraelskim kraljem Bašom da bi otišao od mene.«
4 Ben-hadad agreed to King Asa's request and sent the leaders of his troops against the cities of Israel. They attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.	4 Ben-Hadad posluša kralja Asu i posla svoje vojskovođe na izraelske gradove te oni pokoriše Ijon, Dan, Abel Majinu i sve Naftalijeve gradove-skladišta.
5 When Baasha heard of it, he left off fortifying Ramah; he stopped his work.	5 A kada to Baša dozna, presta utvrđivati Ramu i obustavi posao.
6 Then King Asa commandeered all of Judah to carry away the stone and wood with which Baasha had been fortifying Ramah, and with them he fortified Geba and Mizpah.	6 Tada kralj Asa sazva sve Judejce i oni odnesoše kamenje i drvo kojima je Baša utvrđivao Ramu, pa time utvrdiše Gebu i Mispu.
7 At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa, king of Judah, and said to him: "Because you relied on the king of Aram and did not rely on the LORD, your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped your hand.	7 U to vrijeme dođe vidjelac Hanani k judejskom kralju Asi i reče mu: »Budući da si se oslonio na aramejskoga kralja, a nisi se oslonio na Jahvu, Boga svoga, vojska aramejskoga kralja izmakla ti je iz ruke.
8 Were not the Ethiopians and Libyans a vast army, with great numbers of chariots and drivers? And yet, because you relied on the LORD, he delivered them into your power.	8 Nisu li Etiopljani i Libijci imali silne čete s vrlo mnogo bojnih kola i konjanika? Pa kad si se oslonio na Jahvu, predao ti ih je u ruke.
9 The eyes of the LORD roam over the whole earth, to encourage those who are devoted to him wholeheartedly. You have acted foolishly in this matter, for from now on you will have wars."	9 Jer Jahve svojim očima gleda po svoj zemlji da bi se ohrabrili oni kojima je srce iskreno prema njemu. Ludo si u tome radio, zato će se od sada dizati ratovi na te.«
10 But Asa became angry with the seer and imprisoned him in the stocks, so greatly was he enraged at him over this. Asa also oppressed some of his people at this time.	10 Tada se Asa razgnjevi na vidioca i baci ga u tamnicu, jer se razjario na nj. U to je vrijeme Asa potlačio i neke iz naroda.
11 Now the acts of Asa, first and last, can be found recorded in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.	11 I eto, Asina djela, od prvoga do posljednjeg, zapisana su u Knjizi o judejskim i izraelskim kraljevima.
12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa contracted a serious disease in his feet. But even in his sickness he did not seek the LORD, but only the physicians.	12 Razbolio se trideset i devete godine kraljevanja, od nogu, te mu se bolest veoma pogoršala, ali ni u bolesti nije tražio Jahvu, nego liječnike.
13 Asa rested with his ancestors; he died in the forty-first year of his reign.	13 Tako Asa počinu sa svojim ocima i umrije četrdeset i prve godine svoga kraljevanja.
14 They buried him in the tomb he had hewn for himself in the City of David, having laid him upon a couch which was filled with spices and various kinds of aromatics compounded into an ointment. They also burned a very great funeral pyre for him.	14 Sahranili su ga u grobnici koju bijaše iskopao sebi u Davidovu gradu i položili ga na odar što ga bijaše napunio miomirisima i mastima, zgotovljenima mastilačkom vještinom, i spalili mu ih vrlo mnogo.
