1 Kraljevima 16
1 Tada bi upućena riječ Jahvina Jehuu, sinu Hananijevu, protiv Baše:
During the time that Baasha [was king of Israel], [the prophet] Jehu, Hanani’s son, gave Baasha this message that he had received from Yahweh:
2 “Iz praha sam te podigao i postavio knezom nad mojim narodom Izraelom, ali si ti krenuo Jeroboamovim putem i navodiš narod moj Izrael na grijehe te me razjaruješ njihovim grijesima;
“You were very insignificant/unimportant [IDM] when I caused you to become the ruler of my Israeli people. But you have caused me to become very angry by doing [IDM] the kinds of evil things that King Jeroboam did. You have also caused me to become angry by causing my people to sin.
3 zato ću netragom pomesti Bašu i kuću njegovu: učinit ću s tvojom kućom kao i s kućom Jeroboama, sina Nebatova.
So now I will get rid of you and your family [MTY]. I will do to you just like I did to Jeroboam and his family.
4 Tko iz obitelji Bašine umre u gradu, pojest će ga psi, a tko im umre u polju, pojest će ga ptice nebeske.”
[The bodies of] those in your family who die in this city [will not be buried; they] will be eaten by dogs; and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”
5 Ostala povijest Bašina, što je učinio, njegova djela, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva izraelskih?
The other things that happened during the time that Baasha ruled Israel, and the things that he did, are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
6 Baša je počinuo sa svojim ocima i sahranjen je u Tirsi. Sin njegov Ela zakraljio se mjesto njega.
When Baasha died, he was buried in Tirzah, [the capital city]. Then his son Elah became king.
7 Ali riječ Jahvina po Jehuu proroku, sinu Hananijevu, nije bila upravljena protiv Baše i njegove kuće samo zbog toga što je činio zlo u očima Jahve i ljutio ga djelima svojih ruku te bio kao i kuća Jeroboamova nego i zbog toga što je i nju istrijebio.
Yahweh gave that message about Baasha and his family to the prophet Jehu. Baasha had done many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, which caused Yahweh to become angry. Baasha did the same kind of things that King Jeroboam and his family had done previously. Yahweh was also angry with Baasha because he had killed all of Jeroboam’s family.
8 Dvadeset i šeste godine kraljevanja Ase u Judeji postade Ela, sin Bašin, kraljem Izraela u Tirsi; vladao je svega dvije godine.
After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost 26 years, Elah became the king of Israel. Elah ruled in Tirzah for [only] two years.
9 Njegov dvoranin Zimri, zapovjednik polovine bojnih kola, uroti se protiv njega. Kad je bio u Tirsi, opio se u kući Arse, upravitelja dvora u Tirsi.
[A man named] Zimri was one of Elah’s army officers. He commanded the drivers of half of Elah’s army’s (chariots/two-wheeled vehicles pulled by horses). He made plans to kill Elah while Elah was in Tirzah, getting drunk at the house of [a man named] Arza. Arza was the man who took care of the things in the king’s palace.
10 Tada provali Zimri, udari na njega i ubi ga, dvadeset i sedme godine Asina kraljevanja Judejom, te zavlada mjesto njega.
Zimri went into Arza’s house and killed Elah. Then Zimri became the king of Israel. That was when Asa had been the king of Judah for 27 years.
11 Čim je zavladao i sjeo na prijestolje, poubija svu obitelj Bašinu; nije mu poštedio ni što uza zid mokri, ni njegovih rođaka ni prijatelja.
As soon as Zimri became king [MTY], he killed all of Baasha’s family [MTY]. That included every male [IDM] in Baasha’s family and all of Baasha’s male friends.
12 Tako Zimri iskorijeni svu kuću Bašinu po riječi koju je Jahve rekao protiv Baše preko sluge svoga proroka Jehua,
That was just what Yahweh told the prophet Jehu would happen.
13 zbog sviju grijeha što su ih činili Baša i sin mu Ela i tako zavodili Izraela, srdeći Jahvu, Boga Izraelova, svojim krivim bogovima.
Baasha and his son Elah had sinned and led the Israeli people to sin. They caused Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people worshiped, to become angry, because they both urged the people [to worship] worthless idols.
14 Ostala povijest Elina, sve što je učinio, zar to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva izraelskih?
Everything else that Elah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
15 Dvadeset i sedme godine Asina kraljevanja Judejom postade Zimri kraljem u Tirsi i vladao je sedam dana. Narod je tada opsjedao Gibeton, koji je pripadao Filistejcima.
So Zimri became the king of Israel after Asa had been king of Judah for 27 years. But Zimri ruled in Tirzah for only seven days. The Israeli army was beseiging/surrounding Gibeah, a town which belonged to the Philistine people-group.
16 Kad je utaboreni narod čuo da se Zimri pobunio i ubio kralja, sav Izrael istoga dana u taboru proglasi kraljem nad Izraelom zapovjednika vojske Omrija.
The men in the Israeli army camp heard that Zimri had secretly planned to kill King Elah, and then had killed him. So on that day the soldiers chose Omri, the commander of their army, to become the king of Israel.
17 Zatim Omri i sav Izrael s njime odoše od Gibetona i opsjedoše Tirsu.
The Israeli army was camped near Gibbethon [city]. When they heard what Zimri had done, they left there and went to Tirzah, and surrounded the city.
18 Kad je Zimri vidio da će grad biti osvojen, uđe u utvrdu kraljevskoga dvora, zapali nad sobom kraljevski dvor i tako pogibe.
When Zimri realized that the city was [about to be] captured, he went into his palace and set it on fire. So the palace burned down, and he died [in the fire].
19 To je bilo zbog grijeha koje je počinio radeći što je zlo u očima Jahvinim i hodeći putem Jeroboama i njegovih grijeha kojima je zavodio Izraela.
He died because he had sinned by doing the things that Yahweh considered to be evil. Jeroboam had led the Israeli people to sin, and Zimri sinned just like Jeroboam had sinned.
20 Ostala povijest Zimrijeva i njegova urota koju je skovao, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva izraelskih?
All the other things that Zimri did, and the record of how he rebelled [against King Elah], are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
21 Tada se Izraelov narod razdijelio: polovica se odlučila za Tibnija, sina Ginatova, da ga učini kraljem, a druga polovica za Omrija.
After Zimri died, the Israeli people were divided. One group wanted Tibni, the son of Ginath, to be their king. The other group wanted Omri [to be the king].
22 Ali pristaše Omrijeve nadjačaše pristaše Tibnija, sina Ginatova, pa kad Tibni umrije, postade Omri kraljem.
Those who supported Omri (were stronger than/defeated) those who supported Tibni. So Tibni was killed, and Omri became king.
23 Trideset i prve godine Asina kraljevanja Judejom postade Omri kraljem Izraela za dvanaest godina. U Tirsi je kraljevao šest godina.
Omri became king when Asa had been king of Judah for almost 31 years. Omri ruled Israel for 12 years. For the first six years he ruled in Tirzah.
24 Tada kupi od Šemera za dva talenta srebra brdo Samariju; sagradi grad koji po imenu Šemera, vlasnika brijega, nazva Samarija.
Then he bought a hill from [a man named] Shemer and paid him about (150 pounds/70 kg.) of silver for it. Then Omri ordered his men to build a city on that hill, and he called it Samaria, to honor Shemer, the man who owned it previously.
25 Ali je Omri činio zlo u očima Jahvinim i bio je gori od svojih prethodnika.
But Omri did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil deeds than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
26 U svemu je slijedio Jeroboama, sina Nebatova, i njegove grijehe kojima je zavodio Izraela i srdio Jahvu, Boga Izraelova, svojim lažnim bogovima.
[When] Jeroboam [was previously the king, he] had led the Israeli people to sin, and Omri committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did. The Israeli people caused Yahweh, the God the Israeli people had worshiped, to become very angry, because they worshiped worthless idols.
27 Ostala povijest Omrijeva, sve što je učinio, njegovi pothvati koje je izveo, zar to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva izraelskih?
Everything that Omri did, and the record of the victories that his [army] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
28 Omri počinu sa svojim ocima i sahranjen je u Samariji. Njegov sin Ahab postade kraljem mjesto njega.
After Omri died, he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king.
29 Ahab, sin Omrijev, postade izraelskim kraljem u trideset i osmoj godini Asina kraljevanja Judejom i vladao je dvadeset i dvije godine nad Izraelom u Samariji.
Ahab became king of Israel when Asa had ruled Judah for almost 38 years. Ahab ruled in Samaria [city] for 22 years.
30 Ahab, sin Omrijev, činio je u očima Jahvinim više zla od svih svojih prethodnika.
Ahab did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil things than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
31 I malo mu bijaše što je hodio u grijesima Jeroboama, sina Nebatova, nego se još oženi Izebelom, kćerju Etbaala, kralja sidonskog, i poče služiti Baalu i klanjati mu se;
He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did, but he did things that were worse than the things that Jeroboam did. He married [a woman named] Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of Sidon [city]. Then Ahab started to worship Baal, [the god that the Canaan people-group worshiped].
32 Baalu podiže žrtvenik u Baalovu hramu što ga bijaše sagradio u Samariji.
He built a temple in Samaria in order that the Israeli people could worship Baal there, and he put an altar there for [making sacrifices to] Baal.
33 Ahab je podigao i Ašeru i učinio druga zlodjela i razljutio Jahvu, Boga Izraelova, više od svih kraljeva izraelskih koji bijahu prije njega.
He also made an idol that represented Asherah, [Baal’s wife]. He did many more things that caused Yahweh to become angry. He did more evil things than any of the previous kings of Israel had done.
34 Za njegova je vremena Hiel iz Betela sagradio Jerihon; uz žrtvu svoga prvorođenca Abirama podigao je temelje, a uz žrtvu svoga mezimca Seguba postavio je gradska vrata, po riječi koju je Jahve rekao po svome sluzi Jošui, sinu Nunovu.
During the years that Ahab [ruled], Hiel, a man from Bethel [city], rebuilt Jericho [city]. But when he started to rebuild the city, his oldest son Abiram died. And [when the city was finished, ] while Hiel was building the city gates, his youngest son Segub died. They died just like Yahweh had told Joshua would happen [to the sons of anyone who would rebuild Jericho].
