2 Kraljevima 3
1 Joram, sin Ahabov, zakralji se nad Izraelom u Samariji osamnaeste godine Jošafatova kraljevanja u Judeji. I vladao je dvanaest godina.
Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
2 Činio je što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, ali ne kao njegov otac i mati, jer je uklonio Baalov stup što ga bijaše podigao njegov otac.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not like his father and like his mother, for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.
3 Ali je prianjao uz grijeh kojim je Jeroboam, sin Nebatov, zavodio Izraela; i nije odstupao od njega.
Nevertheless he clung to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he did not depart therefrom.
4 Meša, kralj moapski, bio je stočar i slao je izraelskom kralju u danak stotinu tisuća janjaca i vunu od stotine tisuća ovnova.
Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master. And he rendered to the king of Israel the wool of a hundred thousand lambs, and of a hundred thousand rams.
5 Ali kad je umro Ahab, pobuni se kralj moapski protiv izraelskog kralja.
But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 U to je baš vrijeme kralj Joram izišao iz Samarije i izvršio smotru svih Izraelaca.
And king Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel.
7 Zatim je poručio judejskom kralju Jošafatu: “Moapski se kralj pobunio protiv mene. Hoćeš li sa mnom u rat protiv Moabaca?” Judejski kralj odgovori: “Hoću! Ja kao ti, moj narod kao tvoj narod, moji konji kao i tvoji konji.”
And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up. I am as thou are, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
8 I doda: “Kojim ćemo putem?” A drugi mu odgovori: “Kroz Edomsku pustinju.”
And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way of the wilderness of Edom.
9 I tako krenu izraelski kralj s judejskim kraljem i s kraljem edomskim. Sedam su dana lutali, a nije bilo vode četama ni stoci koja je išla za njima.
So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom. And they made a circuit of seven days' journey, and there was no water for the army, nor for the beasts that followed them.
10 Tada povika kralj izraelski: “Jao, Jahve je pozvao ova tri kralja da ih preda u ruke Moapcima!”
And the king of Israel said, Alas! For Jehovah has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
11 Ali Jošafat reče: “Nema li tu proroka Jahvina da se preko njega posavjetujemo s Jahvom?” Tada odgovori jedan između slugu izraelskoga kralja: “Ovdje je Elizej, sin Šafatov, koji je lijevao vodu na Ilijine ruke.”
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah, that we may inquire of Jehovah by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.
12 Jošafat reče: “U njega je riječ Božja.” I kralj izraelski, kralj judejski i kralj edomski odoše Elizeju.
And Jehoshaphat said, The word of Jehovah is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13 A Elizej reče kralju izraelskom: “Što ja imam s tobom? Potraži proroke svoga oca i proroke svoje majke!” Izraelski kralj odgovori mu: “Ne! Jer Jahve je pozvao ova tri kralja da ih preda u ruke Moapcima.”
And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? Get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him, No, for Jehovah has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
14 Elizej uzvrati: “Tako mi živoga Jahve Sebaota, komu služim, kad ne bih gledao na judejskog kralja Jošafata, ne bih ti obraćao pažnje niti bih te pogledao.
And Elisha said, As Jehovah of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.
15 Sada mi dovedite svirača.” I dok je glazbenik svirao, siđe ruka Jahvina nada nj.
But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of Jehovah came upon him.
16 I on reče: “Ovako veli Jahve: 'Iskopajte u ovoj dolini mnogo jama.
And he said, Thus says Jehovah, Make this valley full of trenches.
17 Jer ovako veli Jahve: nećete osjetiti vjetra niti ćete vidjeti dažda, a ova će se dolina napuniti vodom. I pit ćete vi, vaš marva i vaša stoka.'
For thus says Jehovah, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain, yet that valley shall be filled with water, and ye shall drink, both ye and your cattle and your beasts.
18 Ali to još nije ništa u očima Jahve: on će predati Moab u vaše ruke.
And this is but a light thing in the sight of Jehovah. He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
19 Vi ćete zauzeti sve utvrđene gradove, posjeći sve plodno drveće, zatrpati sve izvore i opustošiti najbolja polja: kamenjem ćete ih zasijati.”
And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all fountains of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
20 I doista, ujutro, u vrijeme kad se prinosi žrtva, dođe voda od Edoma i preplavi svu okolinu.
And it came to pass in the morning, about the time of offering the oblation, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
21 Kad su Moapci čuli da su kraljevi došli s njima ratovati, pozvaše sve koji bijahu sposobni za oružje i postaviše ih na granicu.
Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings came up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all that were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood on the border.
22 Kad su ujutro ustali i kad je sunce granulo nad onom vodom, Moapcima se sa strane voda učini crvenom kao krv.
And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water opposite them as red as blood.
23 I rekoše: “To je krv! Zacijelo su se kraljevi međusobno pobili i jedan drugoga pogubili. A sada: na plijen, Moapci!”
And they said, This is blood. The kings are surely destroyed, and they have smitten each man his fellow. Now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
24 Ali kad su stigli do izraelskog tabora, digoše se Izraelci i potukoše Moapce, tako te ovi pobjegoše pred njima. A Izraelci pojuriše da dotuku Moapce.
And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them, and they went forward into the land smiting the Moabites.
25 Razorili su im gradove, bacali svaki po kamen na najbolje njive da ih zaspu, zatrpali izvore i posjekli sve plodno drveće. Konačno, ostao je samo grad Kir Harešet; praćari su ga opkolili i tukli ga.
And they beat down the cities. And on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it. And they stopped all the fountains of water, and felled all the good trees, until in Kir-hareseth only they left the stones of it. However the slingers went about it, and smote it.
26 Kada je moapski kralj vidio da neće izdržati bitku, uze sa sobom sedam stotina ljudi naoružanih mačevima, pokuša se probiti i doći do kralja edomskog, ali ne uspje.
And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too hard for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew sword to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not.
27 Tada uze svoga sina prvenca, koji ga imaše naslijediti, i prinese ga kao paljenicu na zidu. To se tako silno zgadilo Izraelcima te odoše od njih i vratiše se u svoju zemlju.
Then he took his eldest son who should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great wrath against Israel, and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
