1 Kraljevima 20
1 Ben-Hadad, kralj Arama, skupi svu vojsku svoju - s njim bijahu trideset i dva kralja, s konjima i bojnim kolima - i ode opsjedati Samariju i udari na nju.
And Nabuthai the Jezraelite had a vineyard, near the threshingfloor of Achaab king of Samaria.
2 Posla u grad glasnike izraelskom kralju Ahabu
And Achaab spoke to Nabuthai, saying, Give me thy vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs, for it [is] near my house: and I will give thee another vineyard better than it; or if it please thee, I will give thee money, the price of this thy vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs.
3 i reče mu: “Ovako veli Ben-Hadad: 'Tvoje srebro i tvoje zlato moje je, a žene tvoje i djeca ostaju tebi.'”
And Nabuthai said to Achaab, My God forbid me that I should give thee the inheritance of my fathers.
4 Izraelski kralj ovako mu odgovori: “Na tvoju zapovijed, gospodaru kralju! Tvoj sam ja sa svime što mi pripada.”
And the spirit of Achaab was troubled, and he lay down upon his bed, and covered his face, and ate no bread.
5 Ali se glasnici vratiše i rekoše: “Ovako kaže Ben-Hadad i poručuje ti: 'Daj mi svoje srebro i zlato, svoje žene i djecu.
And Jezabel his wife went in to him, and spoke to him, [saying], Why [is] thy spirit troubled, and [why] dost thou eat no bread?
6 Budi siguran da ću sutra u ovo doba poslati svoje sluge i oni će pretražiti tvoju kuću i kuće tvojih sluga i stavit će svoju ruku na sve što im se svidi i to će odnijeti.'”
And he said to her, Because I spoke to Nabuthai the Jezraelite, saying, Give me thy vineyard for money; or if thou wilt, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers.
7 Izraelski kralj sazva sve starješine zemaljske i reče: “Promislite i pogledajte! Ovaj nam sprema zlo! Traži od mene moje žene i djecu, premda mu nisam odbio svoje srebro i zlato.”
And Jezabel his wife said to him, Dost thou now thus act the king over Israel? arise, and eat bread, and be thine own [master], and I will give thee the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite.
8 Starješine mu i sav narod odgovoriše: “Nemoj poslušati! Nemoj pristati!”
And she wrote a letter in the name of Achaab, and sealed it with his seal, and sent the letter to the elders, and to the freemen who dwelt with Nabuthai.
9 Tada on ovako odgovori Ben-Hadadovim poslanicima: “Recite gospodaru kralju: 'Sve što si prvi put tražio od svoga sluge, ja ću učiniti, ali ovo drugo ne mogu.'” I poslanici odoše i odnesoše odgovor.
And it was written in the letters, saying, Keep a fast, and set Naboth in a chief place among the people.
10 Tada mu Ben-Hadad poruči: “Neka mi bogovi učine zlo i neka pridaju još toliko, ako bude dosta praha Samarije da svi oni koji me slijede dobiju po pregršt!”
And set two men, sons of transgressors, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, He blessed God and the king: and let them lead him forth, and stone him, and let them die.
11 Ali mu kralj izraelski odgovori: “Kaže se: 'Neka se ne hvali koji se opasuje kao onaj koji se raspasuje!'”
And the men of his city, the elders, and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezabel sent to them, and as it had been written in the letters which she sent to them.
12 A kad je Ben-Hadad to čuo - upravo je pio s kraljevima pod šatorima - zapovjedi svojim slugama: “Na svoja mjesta!” I oni zauzeše svoje položaje protiv grada.
And they proclaimed a fast, and set Nebuthai in a chief place among the people.
13 Tada potraži jedan prorok Ahaba, kralja Izraela, i reče: “Ovako veli Jahve: 'Jesi li vidio ono silno mnoštvo? Ja ću ti ga danas evo predati u ruke i ti ćeš spoznati da sam ja Jahve.'”
And two men, sons of transgressors, came in, and sat opposite him, and bore witness against him, saying, Thou hast blessed God and the king. And they led him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, and he died.
14 Ahab reče: “Po kome?” On odgovori: “Ovako veli Jahve: po momcima pokrajinskih namjesnika.” Ahab upita: “Tko će početi boj?” On odgovori: “Ti!”
And they sent to Jezabel, saying, Nabuthai is stoned, and is dead.
15 Ahab izvrši smotru momaka pokrajinskih upravitelja. Bijaše ih dvije stotine trideset i dva. Poslije njih izvršio je smotru sve vojske svih Izraelaca. Bijaše ih sedam tisuća.
And it came to pass, when Jezabel heard [it], that she said to Achaab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, who would not sell it to thee: for Nebuthai is not alive, for he is dead.
16 Oni iziđoše u podne, dok je Ben-Hadad pio u šatorima sa trideset i dva kralja koji mu bijahu saveznici.
And it came to pass, when Achaab heard that Nabuthai the Jezraelite was dead, that he rent his garments, and put on sackcloth. And it came to pass afterward, that Achaab arose and went down to the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, to take possession of it.
17 Momci pokrajinskih upravitelja iziđoše prvi. Obavijestiše Ben-Hadada: “Izišli su ljudi iz Samarije.”
And the Lord spoke to Eliu the Thesbite, saying,
18 On reče: “Ako su izišli radi mira, pohvatajte ih žive; ako su izišli u boj, opet ih uhvatite žive!”
Arise, and go down to meet Achaab king of Israel, who is in Samaria, for he [is] in the vineyard of Nabuthai, for he has gone down thither to take possession of it.
19 Ali kad su oni - momci pokrajinskih upravitelja - izišli iz grada, za njima je slijedila ostala vojska
And thou shalt speak to him, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast slain and taken possession, therefore thus saith the Lord, In every place where the swine and the dogs have licked the blood of Nabuthai, there shall the dogs lick thy blood; and the harlots shall wash themselves in thy blood.
20 i svaki je udario na svog protivnika. Aramejci su bježali, a Izraelci ih progonili. Ben-Hadad, aramejski kralj, spasio se na konju zajedno s nekim konjanicima.
And Achaab said to Eliu, Hast thou found me, mine enemy? and he said, I have found [thee]: because thou hast wickedly sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger;
21 Tada je izišao izraelski kralj; zarobio je konje i kola i nanio Aramejcima težak poraz.
behold, I bring evil upon thee: and I will kindle a fire after thee, and I will utterly destroy every male of Achaab, and him that is shut up and him that is left in Israel.
22 Tada pristupi prorok izraelskom kralju i reče mu: “Hajdemo! Ohrabri se i razmisli dobro što ti je činiti, jer će dogodine aramejski kralj napasti na te.”
And I will make thy house as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and as the house of Baasa son of Achia, because of the provocations wherewith thou hast provoked [me], and caused Israel to sin.
23 Sluge su savjetovale aramejskog kralja: Njihov bog je bog gora, i zato su bili jači od nas. Ali ako se pobijemo s njima u ravnici, sigurno ćemo mi biti jači od njih.
And the Lord spoke of Jezabel, saying, The dogs shall devour her within the fortification of Jezrael.
24 Učinimo dakle ovako: makni ove kraljeve i postavi na njihovo mjesto upravitelje.
Him that is dead of Achaab in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that is dead of him in the field shall the birds of the sky eat.
25 Zatim skupi sebi veliku vojsku kolika je bila ona koju si izgubio, toliko konja i toliko kola. Tada ćemo se pobiti s njima u ravnici, i sigurno ćemo ih nadvladati.” On ih posluša i učini tako.
But Achaab [did] wickedly, in that he sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his wife Jezabel led him astray.
26 Na početku godine Ben-Hadad podiže Aramejce i pođe na Afek da vojuje s Izraelom.
And he did very abominably in following after the abominations, according to all that the Amorite did, whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.
27 Izraelci se podigoše i krenuše protiv njih. I utaboriše se Izraelci pred njima kao dva mala stada koza, dok su Aramejci prekrili zemlju.
And because of the word, Achaab was pierced with sorrow before the Lord, and he both went weeping, and rent his garment, and girt sackcloth upon his body, and fasted; he put on sackcloth also in the day that he smote Nabuthai the Jezraelite, and went his way.
28 Tada pristupi Božji čovjek izraelskom kralju i reče: “Ovako veli Jahve: 'Zato što Aramejci kažu za Jahvu da je Bog bregova i da nije Bog ravnica, ja ću predati u tvoje ruke ovo silno mnoštvo da spoznate da sam ja Jahve'.”
And the word of the Lord came by the hand of his servant Eliu concerning Achaab, and the Lord said,
29 Sedam dana bijahu utaboreni jedni sučelice drugima. Sedmoga dana zametnu se boj i Izraelci poubijaše Aramejce, stotinu tisuća pješaka u jedan jedini dan.
Hast thou seen how Achaab has been pricked [to the heart] before me? I will not bring on the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring on the evil.
30 Ostatak pobježe u Afek, u grad, ali se sruši zidina na dvadeset i sedam tisuća ljudi koji su ostali. Pobjegao je i Ben-Hadad. U gradu je prelazio iz jednog skrovišta u drugo.
And the son of Ader gathered all his forces, and went up and besieged Samaria, [he] and thirty-two kings with him, and all [his] horse and chariots: and they went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
31 Njegove su mu sluge rekle: “Gle! Mi smo čuli da su izraelski kraljevi milosrdni. Stavimo kostrijet oko bokova svojih i konope oko svojih glava, pa izađimo pred kralja izraelskog: možda će ti poštedjeti život.”
And he sent into the city to Achaab king of Israel, and said to him, Thus says the son of Ader,
32 I svezaše kostrijeti oko bokova svojih i konopce oko svojih glava. Otišli su pred izraelskog kralja i rekli: “Tvoj sluga Ben-Hadad kaže: 'Ostavi me na životu!'” On odgovori: “Je li još živ? On je moj brat.”
Thy silver and thy gold are mine, and thy wives and thy children are mine.
33 Ljudi su to uzeli kao dobar znak i požurili se da ga uhvate za riječ govoreći: “Ben-Hadad tvoj je brat.” Ahab odgovori: “Idite! Dovedite ga!” Ben-Hadad dođe i on ga uze na kola.
And the king of Israel answered and said, As thou hast said, my lord, O king, I am thine, and all mine [also].
34 Ben-Hadad reče mu tada: “Vratit ću ti gradove koje je moj otac uzeo tvome ocu; stajat će ti na raspolaganju četvrti u Damasku, kao što ih je postavio moj otac u Samariji. Pod ovim me uvjetom otpusti.” Ahab sklopi s njime savez i otpusti ga.
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus says the son of Ader, I sent to thee, saying, Thou shalt give me thy silver and thy gold, and thy wives and thy children.
35 Neki od proročkih sinova reče po Jahvinoj zapovijedi svome drugu: “Udari me!” Ali čovjek ne htjede da ga tuče.
For at this time to-morrow I will send my servants to thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants, and it shall be that all the desirable objects of their eyes on which they shall lay their hands, they shall even take [them].
36 Tada mu onaj reče: “Budući da nisi slušao glasa Jahvina, evo, kad odeš od mene, lav će te razderati.” Tek što se udaljio od njega, naiđe na lava koji ga razdera.
And the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Take notice now and consider, that this man seeks mischief: for he has sent to me concerning my wives, and concerning my sons, an concerning my daughters: I have not kept back from him my silver and my gold.
37 Prorok nađe drugoga čovjeka i reče: “Udari me!” Čovjek ga izudara i izrani.
And the elders and all the people said to him, Hearken not, and consent not.
38 Prorok ode, postavi se kralju na put, a preko očiju navuče povez da ga ne prepoznaju.
And he said to the messengers of the son of Ader, Say to your master, All things that thou hast sent to thy servant about at first I will do; but this thing I shall not be able to do. And the men departed, and carried back the answer to him.
39 Kad je kralj prolazio, on povika: “Tvoj je sluga bio izišao u boj, kadli iz bojnih redova jedan istupi i dovede mi nekog čovjeka govoreći: 'Čuvaj ovoga čovjeka! Ako nestane, tvoj će život biti za njegov život, ili ćeš platiti srebrni talenat.'
And the son of Ader sent to him, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for foxes to all the people, even my infantry.
40 I dok je tvoj sluga radio ovdje-ondje, njega je nestalo.” Tada mu reče kralj Izraela: “Eto ti presude! Sam si je izrekao!”
And the king of Israel answered and said, Let it be sufficient; let not the humpbacked boast as he that is upright.
41 Nato onaj odmah ukloni povez s očiju i kralj izraelski vidje da je to jedan od proroka.
And it came to pass when he returned him this answer, he and all the kings with him were drinking in tents: and he said to his servants, Form a trench. And they made a trench against the city.
42 A on reče kralju: “Ovako veli Jahve: 'Budući da si pustio da ti iz ruke utekne čovjek koga sam udario prokletstvom, tvoj će život biti za njegov život, tvoj narod za njegov narod.'”
And, behold, a prophet came to Achaab king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the Lord, Hast thou seen this great multitude? behold, I give it this day into thine hands; and thou shalt know that I [am] the Lord.
43 I kralj izraelski ode svojoj kući, mrk i srdit, i uđe u Samariju.
And Achaab said, Whereby? And he said, Thus saith the Lord, by the young men of the heads of the districts. And Achaab said, Who shall begin the battle? and he said, Thou.
