1 Kraljevima 22
1 Tri je godine vladao mir; nije bilo rata između Aramejaca i Izraela.
Then three years passed without war between Syria and Israel.
2 Treće godine Jošafat, kralj judejski, posjeti kralja izraelskoga.
But in the third year, Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, descended to 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.”
And the king of Israel said to his servants, “Are you ignorant that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and that we have neglected to take it from the hand of the king of Syria?”
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.”
And so he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you come to the battle with me at Ramoth Gilead?”
5 Tada Jošafat reče kralju izraelskom: “De posavjetuj se najprije s Jahvom.”
And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel: “As I am, so also are you. My people and your people are one. And my horsemen are your horsemen.” And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I beg you to inquire today of 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.”
Therefore, the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them, “Should I go to Ramoth Gilead to make war, or should I be at peace?” They responded, “Ascend, and the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.”
7 Ali Jošafat upita: “Ima li ovdje još koji prorok Jahvin da i njega upitamo?”
Then Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here a particular prophet of the Lord, so that we may inquire by him?”
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!”
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “One man remains, by whom we may be able to inquire of the Lord: Micaiah, the son of Imlah. But I hate him. For he does not prophecy good to me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “You should not speak in this way, O king.”
9 Tada kralj izraelski dozva jednoga dvoranina i reče mu: “Brže dovedi Jimlina sina Miheja.”
Therefore, the king of Israel called a certain eunuch, and he said to him, “Hurry to bring here Micaiah, the son of Imlah.”
10 Izraelski kralj i judejski kralj Jošafat sjedili su svaki na svome prijestolju, u svečanim haljinama pred Samarijskim vratima, a proroci proricali pred njima.
Now the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were each sitting upon his own throne, clothed in the habit of royal vestments, in a courtyard beside the entrance of the gate of Samaria. And all the prophets were prophesying in their sight.
11 Kenaanin sin Sidkija napravi sebi željezne rogove i reče: “Ovako govori Jahve: 'Njima ćeš nabosti sve Aramejce dok ih ne uništiš'.”
Also, Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made for himself horns of iron, and he said, “Thus says the Lord: With these, you shall threaten Syria, until you destroy it.”
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 similarly, saying: “Ascend to Ramoth Gilead, and go forth to success. For the Lord will deliver it into the hands 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 truly, the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah spoke to him, saying: “Behold, the words of the prophets, as if with one mouth, are predicting good to the king. Therefore, let your word be like theirs, and speak what is good.”
14 Ali Mihej odvrati: “Živoga mi Jahve, govorit ću ono što mi Jahve kaže!”
But Micaiah said to him, “As the Lord lives, whatever the Lord will have said to me, this shall I speak.”
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.”
And so he went to the king. And the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to Ramoth Gilead to do battle, or should we cease?” And he responded to him, “Ascend, and go forth to success, and the Lord will deliver it into the hands 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, “I require you under oath, again and again, that you not say to me anything except what is true, 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.'”
And he said: “I saw all of Israel scattered among the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said: ‘These have no master. Let each of them return to his own house in peace.’”
18 Tada izraelski kralj reče Jošafatu: “Nisam li ti rekao da mi neće proreći dobro nego zlo!”
Therefore, the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Did I not tell you that he prophesies nothing good to me, but always evil?”
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.
Yet truly, continuing, he said: “Because of his, listen to the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne. And the entire army of heaven was standing beside him, to the right and to the 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 mislead Ahab, the king of Israel, so that he may ascend and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ And one spoke words in this manner, and another spoke otherwise.
21 Tada uđe jedan duh i stade pred Jahvu. 'Ja ću ga', reče, 'zavesti.' Jahve ga upita: 'Kako?'
But then a spirit went out and stood before the Lord. And he said, ‘I will mislead him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’
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 said, ‘I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said: ‘You will deceive him, and you will prevail. Go forth, and do so.’
23 Tako je, evo, Jahve stavio lažljiva duha u usta svih ovih tvojih proroka, ali ti Jahve navješćuje zlo.”
So now, behold: the Lord has given a lying spirit into the mouth of all your prophets who are here. And the Lord has spoken evil 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, the son of Chenaanah, drew near and struck Micaiah on the jaw, and he said, “So then, has the Spirit of the Lord left me, and spoken to you?”
25 Mihej odgovori: “Vidjet ćeš onoga dana kad budeš bježao iz sobe u sobu da se sakriješ.”
And Micaiah said, “You shall see in the day when you will enter into a room within a room, so that you may conceal yourself.”
26 Tada izraelski kralj naredi: “Uhvati Miheja i odvedi ga gradskom zapovjedniku Amonu i kraljeviću Joašu.
And the king of Israel said: “Take Micaiah, and let him dwell with Amon, the ruler of the city, and with Joash, the son of Amalech.
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: ‘Thus says the king: Put this man in prison, and sustain him with the bread of affliction, and with the water of distress, until I return in peace.’”
28 Mihej reče: “Ako se doista sretno vratiš, onda Jahve nije govorio iz mene.” I nadoda: “Čujte, svi puci!”
And Micaiah said, “If you will have returned in peace, the Lord has not spoken through me.” And he said, “May all the people hear it.”
29 Izraelski kralj i judejski kralj Jošafat krenuše na Ramot Gilead.
And so, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, ascended 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.
Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Take up your armor, and enter the battle. And be clothed in your own garments.” But the king of Israel changed his clothing, and he entered the war.
31 Aramejski kralj naredi zapovjednicima bojnih kola: “Ne napadajte ni na maloga ni na velikoga, nego jedino na izraelskog kralja!”
Now the king of Syria had instructed the thirty-two commanders of the chariots, saying, “You shall not fight against anyone, small or great, except against the king of Israel alone.”
32 Kad zapovjednici bojnih kola ugledaše Jošafata, rekoše: “To je kralj izraelski!” I krenuše u boj prema njemu. A Jošafat povika.
Therefore, when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they suspected that he was the king of Israel. And making a violent assault, they fought against him. And Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 A kad zapovjednici bojnih kola vidješe da to nije izraelski kralj, okrenuše se od njega.
And the commanders of the chariots understood that he was not the king of Israel, and so they turned away from 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.”
But a certain man bent his bow, aiming the arrow without certitude, and by chance he struck the king of Israel, between the lungs and the stomach. Then he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn your hand, and carry me away from the army, for I have been grievously 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.
Then the battle was undertaken throughout that day. And the king of Israel was standing on his chariot opposite the Syrians, and he died in the evening. For the blood was flowing from the wound into the joints of the chariot.
36 O zalasku sunčevu odjeknu glas taborom: “Svaki u svoj grad i svaki u svoju zemlju!
And a herald proclaimed throughout the entire army, before the setting of the sun, saying: “Let each one return to his own city, and to his own land.”
37 Kralj je poginuo!” Otišli su u Samariju i pokopali kralja u Samariji.
Then the king died, and he was carried into Samaria. And they buried the king in Samaria.
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 they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria. And the dogs licked up his blood. And they washed the reins, in accord with the word of the Lord which he 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?
But the rest of the words of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he constructed, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
40 Ahab je počinuo sa svojim ocima, a njegov sin Ahazja zakralji se mjesto njega.
And so, Ahab slept with his fathers. And Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
41 Jošafat, sin Asin, postade kraljem Judeje četvrte godine kraljevanja Ahaba, kralja izraelskoga.
Yet truly, Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, had begun to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab, the king of Israel.
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.
He was thirty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Azubah, the 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 he walked in the entire way of Asa, his father, and he did not decline from it. And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, he did not take away the high places. For still the people were sacrificing and burning incense in the high places.
44 Jošafat je bio u miru s izraelskim kraljem.
And Jehoshaphat had 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?
But the rest of the words of Jehoshaphat, and his works that he did, and the battles, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
46 Istrijebio je iz zemlje preostale bludnice, koje su se održale iz vremena njegova oca Ase.
Then, too, the remnant of the effeminate, who had remained in the days of Asa, his father, he took away from the land.
47 Nije bilo kralja u Edomu, nego je vladao namjesnik.
At that time, there was no king appointed in Idumea.
48 Kralj Jošafat sagradi taršiško brodovlje da ide u Ofir po zlato, ali nije otišlo jer se brodovlje razbilo kod Esjon Gebera.
Yet truly, king Jehoshaphat had made a navy on the sea, which would sail to Ophir for gold. But they were unable to go, because the ships were broken down at Eziongeber.
49 Tada Ahazja, sin Ahabov, reče Jošafatu: “Neka moje sluge pođu s tvojim slugama na lađama.” Ali Jošafat to ne prihvati.
Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants on the ships.” But Jehoshaphat was not willing.
50 Jošafat počinu sa svojim ocima i sahranjen bi u gradu Davida, svoga praoca. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Joram.
And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Jehoram, his son, 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.
Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. And he reigned over Israel for 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 he walked in the way of his father and his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who 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.
Also, he served Baal, and he adored him, and he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, in accord with all that his father had done.
