1 Kraljevima 22
1 Tri je godine vladao mir; nije bilo rata između Aramejaca i Izraela.
Then three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.
2 Treće godine Jošafat, kralj judejski, posjeti kralja izraelskoga.
However, in the third year, Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to visit the king of Israel,
3 Kralj Izraela reče svojim dvoranima: “Znate li da je Ramot Gilead naš? A mi ne poduzimamo ništa da ga otmemo iz ruke aramejskog kralja.”
who said to his servants, “Do you not know that Ramoth-gilead is ours, but we have failed to take it from the hand of the king of Aram?”
4 Zatim reče Jošafatu: “Hoćeš li poći sa mnom na Ramot Gilead?” Jošafat odgovori kralju izraelskom: “Ja sam kao i ti, moj narod kao i tvoj, moji konji što i tvoji.”
So he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight against Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat answered the king of Israel, “I am like you, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”
5 Tada Jošafat reče kralju izraelskom: “De posavjetuj se najprije s Jahvom.”
But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of the LORD.”
6 Tada kralj izraelski sakupi oko četiri stotine proroka i upita ih: “Mogu li zavojštiti na Ramot Gilead ili da se okanim toga?” Oni odgovoriše: “Idi, jer će ga Jahve predati kralju u ruke.”
So the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and asked them, “Should I go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should I refrain?” “Go up,” they replied, “and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
7 Ali Jošafat upita: “Ima li ovdje još koji prorok Jahvin da i njega upitamo?”
But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here of whom we can inquire?”
8 Kralj izraelski odgovori Jošafatu: “Ima još jedan čovjek preko koga bismo mogli upitati Jahvu, ali ga ne podnosim jer mi ne prorokuje ništa dobro nego samo zlo; to je Mihej, sin Jimlin.” A Jošafat reče: “Neka kralj ne govori tako!”
The king of Israel answered, “There is still one man who can ask the LORD, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me, but only bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.” “The king should not say that!” Jehoshaphat replied.
9 Tada kralj izraelski dozva jednoga dvoranina i reče mu: “Brže dovedi Jimlina sina Miheja.”
So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.”
10 Izraelski kralj i judejski kralj Jošafat sjedili su svaki na svome prijestolju, u svečanim haljinama pred Samarijskim vratima, a proroci proricali pred njima.
Dressed in royal attire, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.
11 Kenaanin sin Sidkija napravi sebi željezne rogove i reče: “Ovako govori Jahve: 'Njima ćeš nabosti sve Aramejce dok ih ne uništiš'.”
Now Zedekiah son of Chenaanah had made for himself iron horns and declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘With these you shall gore the Arameans until they are finished off.’”
12 Tako su i svi drugi proroci proricali govoreći: “Idi na Ramot Gilead i uspjet ćeš: Jahve će ga predati kralju u ruke.”
And all the prophets were prophesying the same, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-gilead and prosper, for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
13 Glasnik koji bijaše otišao da zove Miheja reče mu: “Eno, svi proroci složno proriču dobro kralju. Govori i ti kao jedan od njih i proreci mu uspjeh!”
Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah instructed him, “Behold now, with one accord the words of the prophets are favorable to the king. So please let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably.”
14 Ali Mihej odvrati: “Živoga mi Jahve, govorit ću ono što mi Jahve kaže!”
But Micaiah said, “As surely as the LORD lives, I will speak whatever the LORD tells me.”
15 Kad dođe pred kralja, upita ga kralj: “Miheju, da pođem u rat na Ramot Gilead ili da se okanim toga?” On odgovori: “Pođi! Uspjet ćeš: Jahve će ga dati u ruke kraljeve.”
When Micaiah arrived, the king asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we refrain?” “Go up and triumph,” Micaiah replied, “for the LORD will give it into the hand of the king.”
16 Ali mu kralj reče: “Koliko ću te puta zaklinjati da mi kažeš samo istinu u Jahvino ime?”
But the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear not to tell me anything but the truth in the name of the LORD?”
17 Tada Mihej odgovori: “Sav Izrael vidim rasut po gorama kao stado bez pastira. I Jahve veli: 'Nemaju više gospodara, neka se u miru kući vrate.'”
So Micaiah declared: “I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd. And the LORD said, ‘These people have no master; let each one return home in peace.’”
18 Tada izraelski kralj reče Jošafatu: “Nisam li ti rekao da mi neće proreći dobro nego zlo!”
Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he never prophesies good for me, but only bad?”
19 A Mihej reče: “Zato čuj riječ Jahvinu: vidio sam Jahvu gdje sjedi na svome prijestolju, a sva mu vojska nebeska stajaše zdesna i slijeva.
Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left.
20 Jahve upita: 'Tko će zavesti Ahaba da otiđe i padne u Ramot Gileadu?' Jedan reče ovo, drugi ono.
And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab to march up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one suggested this, and another that.
21 Tada uđe jedan duh i stade pred Jahvu. 'Ja ću ga', reče, 'zavesti.' Jahve ga upita: 'Kako?'
Then a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the LORD.
22 On odgovori: 'Izaći ću i bit ću lažljiv duh u ustima svih njegovih proroka.' Jahve reče: 'Ti ćeš ga zavesti. I uspjet ćeš. Idi i učini tako!'
And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ ‘You will surely entice him and prevail,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’
23 Tako je, evo, Jahve stavio lažljiva duha u usta svih ovih tvojih proroka, ali ti Jahve navješćuje zlo.”
So you see, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours, and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you.”
24 Tada pristupi Kenaanin sin Sidkija i udari Miheja po obrazu pitajući: “Zar je Jahvin duh napustio mene da bi s tobom govorio?”
Then Zedekiah son of Chenaanah went up, struck Micaiah in the face, and demanded, “Which way did the Spirit of the LORD go when He departed from me to speak with you?”
25 Mihej odgovori: “Vidjet ćeš onoga dana kad budeš bježao iz sobe u sobu da se sakriješ.”
Micaiah replied, “You will soon see, on that day when you go and hide in an inner room.”
26 Tada izraelski kralj naredi: “Uhvati Miheja i odvedi ga gradskom zapovjedniku Amonu i kraljeviću Joašu.
And the king of Israel declared, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son,
27 Reci im: Ovako veli kralj: 'Bacite ovoga u tamnicu i držite ga na suhu kruhu i vodi dok se sretno ne vratim.'”
and tell them that this is what the king says: ‘Put this man in prison and feed him only bread and water until I return safely.’”
28 Mihej reče: “Ako se doista sretno vratiš, onda Jahve nije govorio iz mene.” I nadoda: “Čujte, svi puci!”
But Micaiah replied, “If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Take heed, all you people!”
29 Izraelski kralj i judejski kralj Jošafat krenuše na Ramot Gilead.
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
30 Izraelski kralj reče Jošafatu: “Ja ću se preobući i onda ući u boj, ali ti ostani u svojoj odjeći!” Izraelski se kralj preobuče i pođe u boj.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.
31 Aramejski kralj naredi zapovjednicima bojnih kola: “Ne napadajte ni na maloga ni na velikoga, nego jedino na izraelskog kralja!”
Now the king of Aram had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders, “Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.”
32 Kad zapovjednici bojnih kola ugledaše Jošafata, rekoše: “To je kralj izraelski!” I krenuše u boj prema njemu. A Jošafat povika.
When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely this is the king of Israel!” So they turned to fight against him, but Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 A kad zapovjednici bojnih kola vidješe da to nije izraelski kralj, okrenuše se od njega.
And when the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
34 Jedan nasumce odape luk i ustrijeli izraelskog kralja između nabora pojasa i oklopa. Kralj reče vozaču: “Okreni, izvedi me iz boja jer mi nije dobro.”
However, a certain man drew his bow without taking special aim, and he struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So the king said to his charioteer, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded!”
35 Boj je onoga dana bio sve žešći, ali se kralj držao uspravno na bojnim kolima prema Aramejcima. A navečer umrije. Krv se iz rane izlila u kola.
The battle raged throughout that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. And the blood from his wound ran out onto the floor of the chariot, and that evening he died.
36 O zalasku sunčevu odjeknu glas taborom: “Svaki u svoj grad i svaki u svoju zemlju!
As the sun was setting, the cry rang out in the army: “Every man to his own city, and every man to his own land!”
37 Kralj je poginuo!” Otišli su u Samariju i pokopali kralja u Samariji.
So the king died and was brought to Samaria, where they buried him.
38 Njegova su kola oprali u samarijskom ribnjaku, psi su lizali njegovu krv i bludnice se ondje kupale, po riječi koju je rekao Jahve.
And the chariot was washed at the pool of Samaria where the prostitutes bathed, and the dogs licked up Ahab’s blood, according to the word that the LORD had spoken.
39 Ostala povijest Ahabova, sve što je učinio, o kući od bjelokosti, o svim gradovima koje je sagradio, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva izraelskih?
As for the rest of the acts of Ahab, along with all his accomplishments and the ivory palace and all the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
40 Ahab je počinuo sa svojim ocima, a njegov sin Ahazja zakralji se mjesto njega.
And Ahab rested with his fathers, and his son Ahaziah reigned in his place.
41 Jošafat, sin Asin, postade kraljem Judeje četvrte godine kraljevanja Ahaba, kralja izraelskoga.
In the fourth year of Ahab’s reign over Israel, Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah.
42 Jošafatu bijaše trideset i pet godina kad se zakraljio; kraljevao je dvadeset i pet godina u Jeruzalemu; mati mu se zvala Azuba, a bila je kći Šilhijeva.
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
43 Išao je sasvim putem oca Ase, ne skrećući s njega, nego čineći što je pravo u očima Jahvinim. Samo, uzvišice nisu bile uklonjene, narod je još prinosio klanice i kađenice na uzvišicama.
And Jehoshaphat walked in all the ways of his father Asa; he did not turn away from them, but did what was right in the eyes of the LORD. The high places, however, were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
44 Jošafat je bio u miru s izraelskim kraljem.
Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
45 Ostala povijest Jošafatova, pothvati koje je izveo i kako je vojevao, zar to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva judejskih?
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, along with the might he exercised and how he waged war, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
46 Istrijebio je iz zemlje preostale bludnice, koje su se održale iz vremena njegova oca Ase.
He banished from the land the male shrine prostitutes who remained from the days of his father Asa.
47 Nije bilo kralja u Edomu, nego je vladao namjesnik.
And there was no king in Edom; a deputy served as king.
48 Kralj Jošafat sagradi taršiško brodovlje da ide u Ofir po zlato, ali nije otišlo jer se brodovlje razbilo kod Esjon Gebera.
Jehoshaphat built ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they never set sail, because they were wrecked at Ezion-geber.
49 Tada Ahazja, sin Ahabov, reče Jošafatu: “Neka moje sluge pođu s tvojim slugama na lađama.” Ali Jošafat to ne prihvati.
At that time Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants sail with your servants,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
50 Jošafat počinu sa svojim ocima i sahranjen bi u gradu Davida, svoga praoca. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Joram.
And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David. And his son Jehoram reigned in his place.
51 Ahazja, sin Ahabov, postade kraljem Izraela u Samariji sedamnaeste godine Jošafatova kraljevanja Judejom i kraljevao je dvije godine nad Izraelom.
In the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Ahaziah son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria two years.
52 On je činio što je zlo u očima Jahvinim i hodio je putem svoga oca i putem svoje majke i putem Jeroboama, sina Nebatova, koji je navodio Izraela na grijeh.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the ways of his father and mother and of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin.
53 Služio je Baalu i klanjao se pred njim. Srdio je Jahvu, Boga Izraelova, sasvim onako kako je činio njegov otac.
Ahaziah served and worshiped Baal, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger, just as his father had done.
