1 Kraljevima 19
1 Ahab ispriča Izebeli sve što je Ilija učinio i kako je mačem poubijao sve proroke.
And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and in detail how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2 Tada Izebela posla Iliji glasnika s porukom: “Neka mi bogovi učine sva zla i neka nadodadu, ako sutra u ovo doba ne učinim s tvojim životom kao što si ti učinio sa životom svakoga od njih!”
And Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah saying, So do the gods [to me], and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to-morrow about this time!
3 On se uplaši, ustade i ode da bi spasio život. Došao je u Beer Šebu, koja je u Judeji, i otpustio ondje svoga momka.
And when he saw [that], he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.
4 A sam ode dan hoda u pustinju; sjede ondje pod smreku, zaželje umrijeti i reče: “Već mi je svega dosta, Jahve! Uzmi dušu moju, jer nisam bolji od otaca svojih.”
And he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a certain broom-bush, and requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough: now, Jehovah, take my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
5 Zatim leže i zaspa. Ali gle, anđeo ga taknu i reče mu: “Ustani i jedi.”
And he lay down and slept under the broom-bush. And behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, Arise, eat!
6 On pogleda, kad gle - kraj njegova uzglavlja na kamenu pečen kruh i vrč vode. Jeo je i pio, pa opet legao.
And he looked, and behold, at his head was a cake, baked on hot stones, and a cruse of water. And he ate and drank, and lay down again.
7 Ali se anđeo Jahvin javi i drugi put, dotače ga i reče: “Ustani i jedi, jer je pred tobom dalek put!”
And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise, eat; for the journey is too great for thee.
8 Ustao je, jeo i pio. Okrijepljen tom hranom, išao je četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći sve do Božje gore Horeba.
And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God.
9 Ondje je ušao u neku spilju i prenoćio u njoj. I gle, eto k njemu riječi Jahvine: “Što ćeš ti ovdje, Ilija?”
And there he went into a cave, and lodged there. And behold, the word of Jehovah [came] to him, and he said to him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
10 On odgovori: “Revnovao sam gorljivo za Jahvu, Boga nad vojskama, jer su sinovi Izraelovi napustili tvoj Savez, srušili tvoje žrtvenike i pobili mačem tvoje proroke. Ostao sam sam, a oni traže da i meni uzmu život.”
And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I am left, I alone, and they seek my life, to take it away.
11 Glas mu reče: “Iziđi i stani u gori pred Jahvom. Evo Jahve upravo prolazi.” Pred Jahvom je bio silan vihor, tako snažan da je drobio brda i lomio hridi, ali Jahve nije bio u olujnom vihoru; poslije olujnog vihora bio je potres, ali Jahve nije bio u potresu;
And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before Jehovah. And behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Jehovah: Jehovah was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake: Jehovah was not in the earthquake.
12 a poslije potresa bio je oganj, ali Jahve nije bio u ognju; poslije ognja šapat laganog i blagog lahora.
And after the earthquake, a fire: Jehovah was not in the fire. And after the fire, a soft gentle voice.
13 Kad je to čuo Ilija, zakri lice plaštem, iziđe i stade na ulazu u pećinu. Tada mu progovori glas i reče: “Što ćeš ovdje, Ilija?”
And it came to pass, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice [came] to him and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
14 On odgovori: “Revnovao sam veoma gorljivo za Jahvu nad vojskama, jer su sinovi Izraelovi napustili tvoj Savez, srušili tvoje žrtvenike i mačem poubijali tvoje proroke. Ostadoh sam, a oni traže da i meni oduzmu život.”
And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I am left, I alone, and they seek my life, to take it away.
15 Jahve mu reče: “Idi, vrati se istim putem u damaščansku pustinju. Kad dođeš, pomaži ondje Hazaela za kralja aramskog.
And Jehovah said to him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus; and when thou comest, anoint Hazael king over Syria;
16 Pomaži Jehuu, sina Nimsijeva, za kralja izraelskoga i pomaži Elizeja, sina Šafatova, iz Abel Mehole, za proroka namjesto sebe.
and Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint prophet in thy stead.
17 Koji utekne od mača Hazaelova, njega će pogubiti Jehu; a tko utekne od Jehuova mača, njega će pogubiti Elizej.
And it shall come to pass, [that] him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
18 Ali ću ostaviti u Izraelu sedam tisuća, sve koljena koja se nisu savila pred Baalom i sva usta koja ga nisu cjelivala.”
Yet I have left [myself] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth that hath not kissed him.
19 Ode on i na povratku naiđe na Elizeja, sina Šafatova, gdje ore: pred njim dvanaest jarmova, sam bijaše kod dvanaestoga. Ilija prođe kraj njega i baci na nj svoj plašt.
And he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was ploughing [with] twelve yokes before him, and he with the twelfth; and Elijah went over to him, and cast his mantle on him.
20 On ostavi volove, potrča za Ilijom i reče: “Dopusti mi da zagrlim svoga oca i majku, pa ću poći za tobom.” Ilija mu odgovori: “Idi, vrati se, jer što sam ti učinio?”
And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and I will follow thee. And he said to him, Go back again; for what have I done to thee?
21 On ga ostavi, uze jaram volova i žrtvova ih. Volujskim jarmom skuha meso i dade ga ljudima da jedu. Zatim ustade i pođe za Ilijom da ga poslužuje.
And he returned back from him, and took the yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled their flesh with the implements of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate. And he arose and went after Elijah, and ministered to him.
