1 Kraljevima 22
1 Tri je godine vladao mir; nije bilo rata između Aramejaca i Izraela.
They continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
2 Treće godine Jošafat, kralj judejski, posjeti kralja izraelskoga.
In the third year, Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down 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.”
The king of Israel said to his servants, “You know that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and we do nothing, and don’t take it out of 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.”
He said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to battle to Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
5 Tada Jošafat reče kralju izraelskom: “De posavjetuj se najprije s Jahvom.”
Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for Yahweh’s word.”
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.”
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, “Should I go against Ramoth Gilead to battle, or should I refrain?” They said, “Go up; for 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 said, “Isn’t there here a prophet of Yahweh, that we may inquire of 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!”
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh, Micaiah the son of Imlah; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”
9 Tada kralj izraelski dozva jednoga dvoranina i reče mu: “Brže dovedi Jimlina sina Miheja.”
Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, “Quickly get 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 sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were 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'.”
Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron, and said, “Yahweh says, ‘With these you will push the Syrians, until they are consumed.’”
12 Tako su i svi drugi proroci proricali govoreći: “Idi na Ramot Gilead i uspjet ćeš: Jahve će ga predati kralju u ruke.”
All the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead and prosper; for Yahweh 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!”
The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “See now, the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak good.”
14 Ali Mihej odvrati: “Živoga mi Jahve, govorit ću ono što mi Jahve kaže!”
Micaiah said, “As Yahweh lives, what Yahweh says to me, that I will 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.”
When he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall we forbear?” He answered him, “Go up and prosper; and Yahweh will deliver 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?”
The king said to him, “How many times do I have to adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in Yahweh’s name?”
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.'”
He said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. Yahweh said, ‘These have no master. Let them each return to his house in peace.’”
18 Tada izraelski kralj reče Jošafatu: “Nisam li ti rekao da mi neće proreći dobro nego zlo!”
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but 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.
Micaiah said, “Therefore hear Yahweh’s word. I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
20 Jahve upita: 'Tko će zavesti Ahaba da otiđe i padne u Ramot Gileadu?' Jedan reče ovo, drugi ono.
Yahweh said, ‘Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One said one thing, and another said another.
21 Tada uđe jedan duh i stade pred Jahvu. 'Ja ću ga', reče, 'zavesti.' Jahve ga upita: 'Kako?'
A spirit came out and stood before Yahweh, and said, ‘I will entice him.’
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!'
Yahweh said to him, ‘How?’ He said, ‘I will go out and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ He said, ‘You will entice him, and will also prevail. Go out and do so.’
23 Tako je, evo, Jahve stavio lažljiva duha u usta svih ovih tvojih proroka, ali ti Jahve navješćuje zlo.”
Now therefore, behold, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and Yahweh has spoken evil concerning 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 came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did Yahweh’s Spirit go from me to speak to you?”
25 Mihej odgovori: “Vidjet ćeš onoga dana kad budeš bježao iz sobe u sobu da se sakriješ.”
Micaiah said, “Behold, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to hide yourself.”
26 Tada izraelski kralj naredi: “Uhvati Miheja i odvedi ga gradskom zapovjedniku Amonu i kraljeviću Joašu.
The king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and carry him back 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.'”
Say, ‘The king says, “Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.”’”
28 Mihej reče: “Ako se doista sretno vratiš, onda Jahve nije govorio iz mene.” I nadoda: “Čujte, svi puci!”
Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, Yahweh has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, all you people!”
29 Izraelski kralj i judejski kralj Jošafat krenuše na Ramot Gilead.
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the 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.
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your robes.” The king of Israel disguised himself and went into the 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 Syria had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, “Don’t fight with small nor great, except only with 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 captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely that is the king of Israel!” and they came over to fight against him. Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 A kad zapovjednici bojnih kola vidješe da to nije izraelski kralj, okrenuše se od njega.
When the captains of the chariots saw that it 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.”
A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around, and carry me out of the battle, for I am severely 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 increased that day. The king was propped up in his chariot facing the Syrians, and died at evening. The blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot.
36 O zalasku sunčevu odjeknu glas taborom: “Svaki u svoj grad i svaki u svoju zemlju!
A cry went throughout the army about the going down of the sun, saying, “Every man to his city, and every man to his country!”
37 Kralj je poginuo!” Otišli su u Samariju i pokopali kralja u Samariji.
So the king died, and was brought to 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.
They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood where the prostitutes washed themselves, according to Yahweh’s word which he spoke.
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?
Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built, aren’t they 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.
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.
Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab 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.
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name 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.
He walked in all the way of Asa his father. He didn’t turn away from it, doing that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes. However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
44 Jošafat je bio u miru s izraelskim kraljem.
Jehoshaphat 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?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he fought, aren’t they 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.
The remnant of the sodomites, that remained in the days of his father Asa, he put away out of the land.
47 Nije bilo kralja u Edomu, nego je vladao namjesnik.
There was no king in Edom. A deputy ruled.
48 Kralj Jošafat sagradi taršiško brodovlje da ide u Ofir po zlato, ali nije otišlo jer se brodovlje razbilo kod Esjon Gebera.
Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they didn’t go, for the ships 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.
Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships.” But Jehoshaphat would not.
50 Jošafat počinu sa svojim ocima i sahranjen bi u gradu Davida, svoga praoca. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Joram.
Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city. 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.
Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel.
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.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, in which he made Israel to sin.
53 Služio je Baalu i klanjao se pred njim. Srdio je Jahvu, Boga Izraelova, sasvim onako kako je činio njegov otac.
He served Baal and worshiped him, and provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger in all the ways that his father had done so.
