1 Kraljevima 13
1 A neki čovjek Božji dođe na riječ Jahvinu iz Judeje u Betel kada Jeroboam stajaše pred žrtvenikom da prinese kad.
Suddenly, as Jeroboam was standing beside the altar to burn incense, there came a man of God from Judah to Bethel by the word of the LORD.
2 I po Jahvinoj zapovijedi povika onaj prema žrtveniku: “Žrtveniče, žrtveniče! Ovako veli Jahve: 'Evo će se roditi u kući Davidovoj sin po imenu Jošija. On će na tebi žrtvovati svećenike uzvišica, te koji na tebi prinose kad, i on će na tebi spaliti ljudske kosti!'”
And he cried out against the altar by the word of the LORD, “O altar, O altar, this is what the LORD says: ‘A son named Josiah will be born to the house of David, and upon you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense upon you, and human bones will be burned upon you.’”
3 U isto im vrijeme dade znak: “Ovo je znak da je Jahve govorio: gle, žrtvenik će se raspuknuti i prosut će se pepeo što je na njemu.”
That day the man of God gave a sign, saying, “The LORD has spoken this sign: ‘Surely the altar will be split apart, and the ashes upon it will be poured out.’”
4 Kada je kralj čuo što je čovjek Božji rekao protiv žrtvenika u Betelu, pruži ruku odande od žrtvenika i reče: “Uhvatite ga!” Ali se osušila ruka koju je ispružio prema čovjeku i nije je mogao vratiti k sebi.
Now when King Jeroboam, who was at the altar in Bethel, heard the word that the man of God had cried out against it, he stretched out his hand and said, “Seize him!” But the hand he stretched out toward him withered, so that he could not pull it back.
5 Žrtvenik se raspuknuo i pepeo se prosuo sa žrtvenika, prema znaku što ga je dao čovjek Božji po naredbi Jahvinoj.
And the altar was split apart, and the ashes poured out, according to the sign that the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.
6 Kralj progovori i reče čovjeku Božjem: “Umilostivi Jahvu, Boga svoga, da bih mogao vratiti ruku k sebi.” Božji čovjek umilostivi Jahvu i ruka se kraljeva vrati k njemu i bila je kao prije.
Then the king responded to the man of God, “Intercede with the LORD your God and pray that my hand may be restored.” So the man of God interceded with the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored to him as it was before.
7 Kralj onda reče čovjeku Božjem: “Hodi sa mnom kući da se okrijepiš. I dat ću ti dar.”
Then the king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”
8 Ali čovjek Božji odgovori kralju: “Da mi dadeš polovinu svoje kuće, ne bih pošao s tobom. Ni jeo ni pio ne bih na ovom mjestu,
But the man of God replied, “If you were to give me half your possessions, I still would not go with you, nor would I eat bread or drink water in this place.
9 jer mi je ovako zapovjeđeno riječju Jahvinom: 'Ne jedi kruha i ne pij vode, niti se vraćaj istim putem kojim si došao.'”
For this is what I was commanded by the word of the LORD: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water or return by the way you came.’”
10 I otišao je drugim putem, nije se vraćao putem kojim je došao u Betel.
So the man of God went another way and did not return by the way he had come to Bethel.
11 A u Betelu živio star prorok. Došli njemu njegovi sinovi te mu pripovjedili sve što je onoga dana učinio čovjek Božji u Betelu; i riječi što ih je onaj kazao kralju pripovjediše sinovi ocu.
Now a certain old prophet was living in Bethel, and his sons came and told him all the deeds that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father the words that the man had spoken to the king.
12 A on ih upita: “Kojim je putem otišao?” Sinovi pokazaše put kojim je otišao čovjek Božji što bijaše došao iz Judeje.
“Which way did he go?” their father asked. And his sons showed him the way taken by the man of God, who had come from Judah.
13 Prorok će nato sinovima: “Osamarite mi magarca!” I osamariše mu magarca, a on uzjaha.
So the prophet said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” Then they saddled the donkey for him, and he mounted it
14 Krenuo je za čovjekom Božjim i našao ga gdje sjedi pod hrastom; i upita ga: “Jesi li ti čovjek Božji koji je došao iz Judeje?” A on mu odgovori: “Jesam.”
and went after the man of God. He found him sitting under an oak tree and asked, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” “I am,” he replied.
15 Prorok mu reče: “Hodi sa mnom mome domu da štogod pojedeš.”
So the prophet said to the man of God, “Come home with me and eat some bread.”
16 Ali on odgovori: “Ne smijem se vratiti s tobom, niti smijem jesti kruha ni piti vode na ovome mjestu,
But the man replied, “I cannot return with you or eat bread or drink water with you in this place.
17 jer mi je Jahvinom riječju naređeno ovo: 'Ne jedi ondje kruha, ne pij vode, niti se vraćaj putem kojim si onamo pošao'.”
For I have been told by the word of the LORD: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water there or return by the way you came.’”
18 Nato će mu onaj: “I ja sam prorok kao i ti, i anđeo mi je riječju Jahvinom rekao: 'Povedi ga sa sobom kući da jede kruha i pije vode.'” Slagao mu je.
Then the prophet replied, “I too am a prophet like you, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, ‘Bring him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread and drink water.’” The old prophet was lying to him,
19 Božji čovjek vrati se s njim, u njegovoj je kući jeo kruha i pio vode.
but the man of God went back with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water.
20 Dok su sjedili za stolom, dođe riječ Jahvina proroku koji ga je natrag doveo
While they were sitting at the table, the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back,
21 i povika on čovjeku Božjem koji je došao iz Judeje: “Ovako veli Jahve: zato što nisi poslušao zapovijedi Jahvine i nisi držao naredbe koju ti je dao Jahve, Bog tvoj,
and the prophet cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because you have defied the word of the LORD and have not kept the commandment that the LORD your God gave you,
22 nego si se vratio, jeo kruha i pio vode na mjestu gdje sam ti rekao da ne jedeš kruha i ne piješ vode, zato tijelo tvoje neće leći u grob otaca tvojih.”
but you went back and ate bread and drank water in the place where He told you not to do so, your body shall never reach the tomb of your fathers.’”
23 Pošto se onaj koga bijaše doveo najeo kruha i napio vode, osedla mu magarca.
And after the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the old prophet who had brought him back saddled the donkey for him.
24 I ode onaj. A na putu ga zaskoči lav i usmrti ga. I tako je mrtvo tijelo ležalo ispruženo na putu, magarac stajao kraj njega, a i lav stajaše kraj tijela.
As he went on his way, a lion met him on the road and killed him, and his body was left lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it.
25 Ljudi prolazeći vidješe mrtvo tijelo ispruženo na putu i lava gdje stoji kraj njega; i odoše i javiše to u gradu gdje je živio stari prorok.
And there were men passing by who saw the body lying in the road with the lion standing beside it, and they went and reported this in the city where the old prophet lived.
26 Kad je to čuo prorok koji bijaše onoga vratio s puta, reče: “To je čovjek Božji koji se usprotivio riječi Jahvinoj! I Jahve ga je predao lavu, koji ga je napao i ubio, prema riječi koju je Jahve rekao.”
When the prophet who had brought him back from his journey heard this, he said, “It is the man of God who disobeyed the command of the LORD. Therefore the LORD has delivered him to the lion, and it has mauled him and killed him, according to the word that the LORD had spoken to him.”
27 I reče svojim sinovima: “Osamarite mi magarca!” I oni mu ga osamariše.
Then the old prophet instructed his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled it,
28 Ode on i nađe mrtvo tijelo bačeno na putu i magarca i lava gdje stoje pokraj tijela: lav nije požderao tijelo niti je rastrgao magarca.
and he went and found the body lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had not eaten the body or mauled the donkey.
29 Tada prorok podiže mrtvo tijelo čovjeka Božjeg i prebaci ga na magarca; i vrati se u grad gdje je živio da mrtvoga ožali i pokopa.
So the old prophet lifted up the body of the man of God, laid it on the donkey, and brought it back to his own city to mourn for him and bury him.
30 Položio je mrtvo tijelo u svoju grobnicu i jecao je nad njim: “Jao, brate moj!”
Then he laid the body in his own tomb, and they lamented over him, “Oh, my brother!”
31 A kad ga je pokopao, reče svojim sinovima: “Poslije moje smrti sahranite me u istu grobnicu gdje je pokopan čovjek Božji; stavite moje kosti kraj njegovih.
After he had buried him, the prophet said to his sons, “When I die, you must bury me in the tomb where the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones,
32 Jer će se sigurno ispuniti riječ koju je po zapovijedi Jahvinoj objavio protiv žrtvenika u Betelu i protiv svih svetišta na uzvišicama u gradovima Samarije.”
for the message that he cried out by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel and against all the shrines on the high places in the cities of Samaria will surely come to pass.”
33 Ni poslije ovoga događaja ne obrati se Jeroboam za svoga zlog puta, nego je i dalje priproste ljude postavljao za svećenike na uzvišicama: tko je želio, davao mu je darove da postane svećenik uzvišica.
Even after these events, Jeroboam did not repent of his evil ways, but again he appointed priests for the high places from every class of people. He ordained anyone who desired to be a priest of the high places.
34 Takvim je postupkom padala u grijeh kuća Jeroboamova, rušila se i nestajala s lica zemlje.
And this was the sin of the house of Jeroboam that led to its extermination and destruction from the face of the earth.
