2 Kraljevima 4
1 Žena jednoga od proročkih sinova zamoli Elizeja ovako: “Tvoj sluga, moj muž, umro je; a znaš da se tvoj sluga bojao Jahve. Sada je došao vjerovnik da mi uzme oba sina i učini ih svojim robovima.”
Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant, my husband, is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And now his creditor is coming to take my two children as his slaves!”
2 Elizej joj reče: “Što ti mogu učiniti! Reci mi što imaš u kući?” Ona odgovori: “Tvoja sluškinja nema ništa u kući, osim vrča ulja.”
“How can I help you?” asked Elisha. “Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She answered, “Your servant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”
3 Tada joj reče: “Idi i posudi od svih svojih susjeda praznih sudova, ali neka ih ne bude premalo!
“Go,” said Elisha, “borrow jars, even empty ones, from all your neighbors. Do not gather just a few.
4 Zatim se vrati kući, zatvori vrata za sobom i za svojim sinovima i nalijevaj ulje u sve te sudove i pune stavljaj na stranu.”
Then go inside, shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour oil into all these jars, setting the full ones aside.”
5 I ode ona od njega, zatvori vrata za sobom i za svojim sinovima. Oni su joj dodavali sudove, a ona ih punila.
So she left him, and after she had shut the door behind her and her sons, they kept bringing jars to her, and she kept pouring.
6 I kad se sudovi napuniše, reče ona svome sinu: “Dodaj mi još jedan sud!” Ali joj on odgovori: “Nema više sudova.” I ulje stade.
When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another.” But he replied, “There are no more jars.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
7 Ona ode i kaza čovjeku Božjem, a on joj reče: “Idi, prodaj ulje i podmiri svoj dug, a od ostatka živjet ćeš ti i tvoji sinovi!”
She went and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt. Then you and your sons can live on the remainder.”
8 Jednoga je dana Elizej prolazio kroza Šunam. A živjela ondje ugledna žena i ona ga pozva k stolu. Odonda, kad god prolazaše onuda, uvratio bi se k njoj na jelo.
One day Elisha went to Shunem, and a prominent woman who lived there persuaded him to have a meal. So whenever he would pass by, he would stop there to eat.
9 Ona reče svome mužu: “Evo, znam i vidim da je svet onaj čovjek Božji što prolazi ovuda.
Then the woman said to her husband, “Behold, now I know that the one who often comes our way is a holy man of God.
10 Načinimo mu sobicu na krovu, stavimo mu ondje postelju, stol, stolicu i svjetiljku: kad dođe k nama, povući će se onamo.”
Please let us make a small room upstairs and put in it a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp for him. Then when he comes to us, he can stay there.”
11 Jednoga dana dođe on onamo, povuče se u gornju sobu i počinu ondje.
One day Elisha came to visit and went to his upper room to lie down.
12 Reče zatim svome momku Gehaziju: “Pozovi tu Šunamku!” On je pozva te ona stade preda nj.
And he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call the Shunammite woman.” And when he had called her, she stood before him,
13 I još mu reče: “Kaži joj: 'Lijepo se brineš za nas. Što možemo učiniti za te? Treba li reći riječ za te kralju ili vojskovođi?'” Ali ona odgovori: “Ja živim usred svoga naroda.”
and Elisha said to Gehazi, “Now tell her, ‘Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What can we do for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the king or the commander of the army?’” “I have a home among my own people,” she replied.
14 On nastavi: “Dakle, što da učinimo za nju?” Gehazi odgovori: “Eto, nema sina, a muž joj je vremešan.”
So he asked, “Then what should be done for her?” “Well, she has no son,” Gehazi replied, “and her husband is old.”
15 A on reče: “Pozovi je!” Pozva je, a ona stade kod ulaza.
“Call her,” said Elisha. So Gehazi called her, and she stood in the doorway.
16 “Dogodine u ovo doba”, reče joj, “zagrlit ćeš sina u naručju.” A ona reče: “Ne, gospodaru moj, ne varaj službenice svoje!”
And Elisha declared, “At this time next year, you will hold a son in your arms.” “No, my lord,” she said. “Do not lie to your maidservant, O man of God.”
17 Ali je žena doista zatrudnjela i rodila je sina druge godine u ono doba, kako joj je rekao Elizej.
But the woman did conceive, and at that time the next year she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her.
18 Dječak je rastao. Jednoga dana ode ocu kod žetelaca.
And the child grew, and one day he went out to his father, who was with the harvesters.
19 I potuži se ocu: “Jao, glava, glava moja!” A otac zapovjedi jednom momku da ga odnese majci.
“My head! My head!” he complained to his father. So his father told a servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
20 On ga uze i odvede ga njegovoj majci. Na njenim je koljenima ostao do podne i onda umrije.
After the servant had picked him up and carried him to his mother, the boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died.
21 Ona tada ode gore i položi ga u postelju Božjega čovjeka. Izišla je zatim i zaključala vrata.
And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door and went out.
22 Potom je pozvala svoga muža i rekla: “Pošalji mi jednoga od momaka i jednu magaricu; otrčat ću do čovjeka Božjeg i vratit ću se.”
And the woman called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may go quickly to the man of God and return.”
23 On je upita: “Zašto da danas pođeš k njemu? Nije ni mlađak niti je subota.” Ali ona odgovori: “Ostaj u miru!”
“Why would you go to him today?” he replied. “It is not a New Moon or a Sabbath.” “Everything is all right,” she said.
24 Pošto joj je momak osamario magaricu, ona će mu: “Povedi i pođi! Ne zadržavaj me na putu, osim ako ti naredim.”
Then she saddled the donkey and told her servant, “Drive onward; do not slow the pace for me unless I tell you.”
25 Ode ona i dođe k čovjeku Božjem, na goru Karmel. Kada je čovjek Božji ugleda izdaleka, reče svome momku Gehaziju: “Evo one Šunamke.
So she set out and went to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to his servant Gehazi, “Look, there is the Shunammite woman.
26 Otrči pred nju i pitaj je: 'Kako si? Je li ti muž dobro? Je li ti dijete zdravo?'” Ona odgovori: “Zdravi smo.”
Please run out now to meet her and ask, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?’” And she answered, “Everything is all right.”
27 Kada je stigla do čovjeka Božjega na gori, obujmi mu noge. Gehazi pristupi da je odmakne, ali mu čovjek Božji reče: “Pusti je jer joj je duša ojađena. Jahve mi krije, nije mi ništa objavio.”
When she reached the man of God at the mountain, she clung to his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is in deep distress, and the LORD has hidden it from me and has not told me.”
28 A ona reče: “Zar sam ja tražila sina od svoga gospodara? Nisam li ti govorila da me ne zavaravaš?”
Then she said, “Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Didn’t I say, ‘Do not deceive me?’”
29 On tada reče Gehaziju: “Opaši se, uzmi u ruku moj štap pa idi! Ako koga susretneš, ne pozdravljaj ga; ako te tko pozdravi, ne odzdravljaj mu. Moj štap položi na dječaka.”
So Elisha said to Gehazi, “Tie up your garment, take my staff in your hand, and go! If you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not answer him. Then lay my staff on the boy’s face.”
30 Ali dječakova majka reče: “Života mi Jahvina i tvoga, neću te ostaviti!” On tada ustade i pođe za njom.
And the mother of the boy said, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So he got up and followed her.
31 Gehazi je otišao prije njih i položio štap na dječaka, ali ne bješe ni glasa ni odziva. Vrati se on pred Elizeja i javi mu: “Dječak se nije probudio.”
Gehazi went on ahead of them and laid the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or response. So he went back to meet Elisha and told him, “The boy has not awakened.”
32 Elizej uđe u kuću i nađe dječaka gdje mrtav leži na njegovoj postelji.
When Elisha reached the house, there was the boy lying dead on his bed.
33 Ušavši, zatvori vrata za sobom i pomoli se Jahvi.
So he went in, closed the door behind the two of them, and prayed to the LORD.
34 Zatim se pope na postelju, leže na dječaka, položi svoja usta na njegova usta, svoje oči na njegove oči, svoje ruke na njegove ruke; disao je nad njim te se ugrijalo tijelo dječakovo.
Then Elisha got on the bed and lay on the boy, mouth to mouth, eye to eye, and hand to hand. As he stretched himself out over him, the boy’s body became warm.
35 Potom ustade i prošeta se po kući tamo-amo, zatim se opet pope i disaše nad njim. A dječak tada kihnu sedam puta i otvori oči.
Elisha turned away and paced back and forth across the room. Then he got on the bed and stretched himself out over the boy again, and the boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.
36 I zovnu Elizej Gehazija i reče: “Pozovi tu Šunamku.” On je pozva. Kad je stigla preda nj, reče joj: “Uzmi svoga sina.”
Elisha summoned Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunammite woman.” So he called her and she came. Then Elisha said, “Pick up your son.”
37 Ona, ušavši, pade mu pred noge i pokloni se do zemlje. Zatim uze svoga sina te iziđe.
She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she picked up her son and went out.
38 Elizej se vrati u Gilgal, a bijaše glad u zemlji. I kad su proročki sinovi sjedili pred njim, reče svome momku: “Stavi veliki lonac na vatru i skuhaj jelo sinovima proročkim.”
When Elisha returned to Gilgal, there was a famine in the land. As the sons of the prophets were sitting at his feet, he said to his attendant, “Put on the large pot and boil some stew for the sons of the prophets.”
39 Jedan od njih ode u polje da nabere zelja, ali nađe divlju povijušu i nabra s nje punu haljinu gorkih plodova. Vrati se i nareza ih u lonac, jer nije znao kakvi su.
One of them went out to the field to gather herbs, and he found a wild vine from which he gathered as many wild gourds as his garment could hold. Then he came back and cut them up into the pot of stew, though no one knew what they were.
40 Usuše ljudima da jedu. Ali kad su počeli jesti, povikaše: “Čovječe Božji! Smrt je u loncu!” I nisu mogli jesti.
And they poured it out for the men to eat, but when they tasted the stew they cried out, “There is death in the pot, O man of God!” And they could not eat it.
41 Tada će Elizej: “Donesite brašna!” I baci ga u lonac i reče: “Uspite ljudima neka jedu!” I ništa više nije bilo štetno u loncu.
Then Elisha said, “Get some flour.” He threw it into the pot and said, “Pour it out for the people to eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot.
42 Neki čovjek došao iz Baal Šališe i donio čovjeku Božjem kruh od prvina, dvadeset ječmenih hljebova i kaše u torbi. A on zapovjedi: “Daj ljudima neka jedu!”
Now a man from Baal-shalishah came to the man of God with a sack of twenty loaves of barley bread from the first ripe grain. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha.
43 Ali njegov momak odgovori: “Kako to mogu postaviti pred stotinu ljudi?” On odgovori: “Podaj ljudima i neka jedu, jer ovako veli Jahve: 'Jest će i preostat će.'”
But his servant asked, “How am I to set twenty loaves before a hundred men?” “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha, “for this is what the LORD says: ‘They will eat and have some left over.’”
44 I postavi on pred njih. I jedoše i još preosta, prema riječi Jahvinoj.
So he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the LORD.
