1 Kraljevima 21
1 Nakon tih događaja dogodilo se ovo: Nabot Jizreelac imao vinograd kraj palače Ahaba, kralja samarijskog,
And it came to pass after these events, that Naboth the Yizre'elite had a vineyard, which was in Yizre'el, near the palace of Achab the 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.”
And Achab spoke unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that it may serve me for a herb-garden, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee in its stead a vineyard better than it; [or, ] if it seem good in thy eyes, I will give thee the money, the value of the same.
3 Ali Nabot reče Ahabu: “Jahve me sačuvao od toga da ti ustupim baštinu svojih otaca!”
And Naboth said to Achab, Far be it from me before the Lord, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
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.
And Achab came into his house low-spirited and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Yizre'elite had spoken to him, when he said, I will not give unto thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid himself down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food.
5 Dođe mu njegova žena Izebela i reče: “Zašto si zlovoljan i ne mariš za hranu?”
But Izebel his wife came to him, and spoke unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad! and why eatest thou no food?
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.'”
And he said unto her, Because I spoke unto Naboth the Yizre'elite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee a vineyard in its stead; but he hath said, I will not give unto thee 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.”
Then said unto him Izebel his wife, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, eat bread, and let thy heart be merry: I will myself give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite.
8 I napisa ona pisma u ime Ahabovo i zapečati ih kraljevskim pečatom. Pisma je poslala starješinama i glavarima Nabotovim sugrađanima.
So she wrote letters in Achab's name, and sealed them with his seal; and she sent the letters unto the elders and unto the nobles who were in his city, and who dwelt near Naboth.
9 U tim je pismima napisala: “Proglasite post i postavite Nabota na čelo naroda.
And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit at the head of 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.”
And seat two men, worthless fellows, opposite to him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou hast blasphemed God and the king; and then lead him forth, and stone him, that he may die.
11 I učiniše ljudi Nabotova grada, starješine i glavari, kako im je Izebela zapovjedila i kako je pisalo u pismima koja im je uputila.
And the men of his city, the elders and the nobles, those who dwelt in his city, did as Izebel had sent unto them, as was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
12 Proglasiše post i Nabota postaviše na čelo naroda.
They proclaimed a fast, and caused Naboth to sit at the head of 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 there came in two men, worthless fellows, and seated themselves opposite to him; and these worthless men testified against him, against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth hath blasphemed God and the king. Then they led him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
14 Zatim poručiše Izebeli: “Nabot je kamenovan i umro je.”
And they sent to Izebel, saying, Naboth hath been stoned, and is dead.
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.”
And it came to pass, when Izebel heard that Naboth had been stoned, and was dead, that Izebel said to Achab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
16 Kada je Ahab doznao da je Nabot mrtav, ustade i siđe u vinograd Nabota Jizreelca da ga zaposjedne.
And it came to pass, when Achab heard that Naboth was dead, that Achab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite, to take possession of it.
17 Tada bi upućena riječ Jahvina Iliji Tišbijcu:
And 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.
Arise, go down to meet Achab the king of Israel, who is in Samaria; behold he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it.
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.'”
And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Hast thou murdered, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall the dogs lick thy blood, yes, thine also.
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.
And Achab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to do what is evil in the eyes 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.
Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and I will sweep out after thee, and will cut off from Achab every male, and the guarded and fortified in Israel,
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.
And I will make thy house like the house of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, and like the house of Ba'sha the son of Achiyah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked [me] to anger, and induced Israel to sin.
23 I nad Izebelom reče Jahve: psi će proždrijeti Izebelu na Jizreelskom polju.
And also concerning Izebel hath the Lord spoken, saying, The dogs shall eat Izebel in the valley of Yizre'el.
24 Tko od obitelji Ahabove umre u gradu, psi će ga izjesti, a tko umre u polju, pojest će ga ptice nebeske.”
Him that dieth of Achab in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the heavens eat.
25 Doista, nitko se nije prodao tako kao Ahab da čini što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, jer ga je zavodila njegova žena Izebela.
But indeed there was none like unto Achab, who sold himself to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to which Izebel his wife incited him.
26 Činio je vrlo odvratna djela: išao je za idolima baš kao što su činili Amorejci, koje je Jahve protjerao ispred Izraelaca.
And he acted very abominably in following the idols, in all things just as had done the Emorites, whom the Lord had driven out from before the children of Israel.
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.
And it came to pass, when Achab heard these words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and slept in the sackcloth, and walked about barefooted.
28 Tada dođe riječ Jahvina Iliji Tišbijcu:
And 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.”
Hast thou seen how Achab hath humbled himself before me? therefore, because he hath humbled himself before me, will I not bring the evil in his days: in the days of his son will I bring the evil upon his house.
