1 Kraljevima 21
1 Nakon tih događaja dogodilo se ovo: Nabot Jizreelac imao vinograd kraj palače Ahaba, kralja samarijskog,
Some time later, Naboth the Jezreelite happened to own a vineyard in Jezreel next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2 i Ahab ovako reče Nabotu: “Ustupi mi svoj vinograd da mi bude za povrtnjak jer je blizu moje kuće. Ja ću ti dati za nj bolji vinograd, ili, ako to želiš, dat ću ti novca koliko vrijedi.”
So Ahab said to Naboth, “Give me your vineyard to use as a vegetable garden, since it is next to my palace. I will give you a better vineyard in its place—or if you prefer, I will give you its value in silver.”
3 Ali Nabot reče Ahabu: “Jahve me sačuvao od toga da ti ustupim baštinu svojih otaca!”
But Naboth replied, “The LORD forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.”
4 Ahab se vrati kući mrk i ljutit zbog riječi koju mu je Nabot Jizreelac rekao: “Ne dam ti baštine svojih otaca.” Legao je na postelju i okrenuo lice i nije htio okusiti hrane.
So Ahab went to his palace, sullen and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had told him, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He lay down on his bed, turned his face away, and refused to eat.
5 Dođe mu njegova žena Izebela i reče: “Zašto si zlovoljan i ne mariš za hranu?”
Soon his wife Jezebel came in and asked, “Why are you so sullen that you refuse to eat?”
6 On joj odgovori: “Govorio sam Nabotu Jizreelcu i rekao mu: 'Ustupi mi svoj vinograd za novac, ili, ako ti je draže, dat ću ti drugi vinograd za taj.' Ali mi je on rekao: 'Ne dam ti svoga vinograda.'”
Ahab answered, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and told him, ‘Give me your vineyard for silver, or if you wish, I will give you another vineyard in its place.’ And he replied, ‘I will not give you my vineyard!’”
7 Tada mu žena Izebela reče: “Jesi li ti onaj koji kraljuje nad Izraelom! Ustani i jedi i budi dobre volje. Ja ću ti pribaviti vinograd Nabota Jizreelca.”
But his wife Jezebel said to him, “Do you not reign over Israel? Get up, eat some food, and be cheerful, for I will get you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
8 I napisa ona pisma u ime Ahabovo i zapečati ih kraljevskim pečatom. Pisma je poslala starješinama i glavarima Nabotovim sugrađanima.
Then Jezebel wrote letters in Ahab’s name, sealed them with his seal, and sent them to the elders and nobles who lived with Naboth in his city.
9 U tim je pismima napisala: “Proglasite post i postavite Nabota na čelo naroda.
In the letters she wrote: “Proclaim a fast and give Naboth a seat of honor among the people.
10 Postavite prema njemu dva nitkova koji će ga optužiti: 'Proklinjao si Boga i kralja!' Tada ga izvedite i kamenujte ga da pogine.”
But seat two scoundrels opposite him and have them testify, ‘You have cursed both God and the king!’ Then take him out and stone him to death.”
11 I učiniše ljudi Nabotova grada, starješine i glavari, kako im je Izebela zapovjedila i kako je pisalo u pismima koja im je uputila.
So the elders and nobles who lived in Naboth’s city did as Jezebel had instructed in the letters she had written to them.
12 Proglasiše post i Nabota postaviše na čelo naroda.
They proclaimed a fast and gave Naboth a seat of honor among the people.
13 Tada dođoše dva nitkova, sjedoše mu nasuprot i optužiše Nabota pred narodom: “Nabot je proklinjao Boga i kralja.” I tako izvedoše Nabota izvan grada, zasuše ga kamenjem i on pogibe.
And the two scoundrels came in and sat opposite Naboth, and these men testified against him before the people, saying, “Naboth has cursed both God and the king!” So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death.
14 Zatim poručiše Izebeli: “Nabot je kamenovan i umro je.”
Then they sent word to Jezebel: “Naboth has been stoned to death.”
15 Pošto je Izebela čula da je Nabot kamenovan i da je umro, reče Ahabu: “Ustani i zaposjedni vinograd što ti ga Nabot Jizreelac ne htjede ustupiti za novac. Nabot više nije živ, on je mrtav.”
When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned to death, she said to Ahab, “Get up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, who refused to give it to you for silver. For Naboth is no longer alive, but dead.”
16 Kada je Ahab doznao da je Nabot mrtav, ustade i siđe u vinograd Nabota Jizreelca da ga zaposjedne.
And when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up and went down to take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
17 Tada bi upućena riječ Jahvina Iliji Tišbijcu:
Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 “Ustani i siđi u Samariju, u susret Ahabu, kralju izraelskom. Eno ga u vinogradu Nabotovu u koji je sišao da ga zaposjedne.
“Get up and go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria. See, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, of which he has gone to take possession.
19 Reci mu: 'Ovako veli Jahve: Umorio si, oteo si! Zato ovako veli Jahve: Na mjestu gdje su psi lizali Nabotovu krv, lizat će psi i tvoju.'”
Tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Have you not murdered a man and seized his land?’ Then tell him that this is also what the LORD says: ‘In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth, there also the dogs will lick up your blood—yes, yours!’”
20 Ahab reče Iliji: “Nađe li me, neprijatelju moj?” Ilija odgovori: “Nađoh te, jer si se prodao da činiš što je zlo u očima Jahvinim.
When Elijah arrived, Ahab said to him, “So you have found me out, my enemy.” He replied, “I have found you out because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the LORD.
21 Evo, tek što nisam navukao na te nesreću. Pomest ću tvoje potomstvo, istrijebiti Ahabu sve što mokri uza zid, robove i slobodnjake u Izraelu.
This is what the LORD says: ‘I will bring calamity on you and consume your descendants; I will cut off from Ahab every male in Israel, both slave and free.
22 Učinit ću s tvojom kućom kao s kućom Jeroboama, sina Nebatova, i s kućom Baše, sina Ahijina, jer si me rasrdio i naveo Izraela na grijeh.
I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat and like that of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have provoked My anger and caused Israel to sin.’
23 I nad Izebelom reče Jahve: psi će proždrijeti Izebelu na Jizreelskom polju.
And the LORD also speaks concerning Jezebel: ‘The dogs will devour Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.’
24 Tko od obitelji Ahabove umre u gradu, psi će ga izjesti, a tko umre u polju, pojest će ga ptice nebeske.”
Anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.”
25 Doista, nitko se nije prodao tako kao Ahab da čini što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, jer ga je zavodila njegova žena Izebela.
(Surely there was never one like Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the sight of the LORD, incited by his wife Jezebel.
26 Činio je vrlo odvratna djela: išao je za idolima baš kao što su činili Amorejci, koje je Jahve protjerao ispred Izraelaca.
He committed the most detestable acts by going after idols, just like the Amorites whom the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.)
27 Kad je Ahab čuo te riječi, razdrije svoje haljine i stavi kostrijet na tijelo; i postio je, u kostrijeti je spavao i naokolo išao tiho jecajući.
When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and fasted. He lay down in sackcloth and walked around meekly.
28 Tada dođe riječ Jahvina Iliji Tišbijcu:
Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying:
29 “Jesi li vidio kako se Ahab preda mnom ponizio? Budući da se tako ponizio preda mnom, neću zla pustiti za njegova života; u vrijeme njegova sina pustit ću zlo na kuću njegovu.”
“Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity during his days, but I will bring it upon his house in the days of his son.”
