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 a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead. You know that your servant feared the LORD. Now the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be 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.”
Elisha said to her, “What should I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She said, “Your servant has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.”
3 Tada joj reče: “Idi i posudi od svih svojih susjeda praznih sudova, ali neka ih ne bude premalo!
Then he said, “Go, borrow empty containers from all your neighbors. Don’t borrow just a few containers.
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.”
Go in and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour oil into all those containers; and set aside those which are full.”
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 went from him, and shut the door on herself and on her sons. They brought the containers to her, and she poured oil.
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 the containers were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.” He said to her, “There isn’t another container.” 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!”
Then she came and told the man of God. He said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.”
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, where there was a prominent woman; and she persuaded him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.
9 Ona reče svome mužu: “Evo, znam i vidim da je svet onaj čovjek Božji što prolazi ovuda.
She said to her husband, “See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually.
10 Načinimo mu sobicu na krovu, stavimo mu ondje postelju, stol, stolicu i svjetiljku: kad dođe k nama, povući će se onamo.”
Please, let’s make a little room on the roof. Let’s set a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand for him there. 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 he came there, and he went to the room and lay there.
12 Reče zatim svome momku Gehaziju: “Pozovi tu Šunamku!” On je pozva te ona stade preda nj.
He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” 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.”
He said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have cared for us with all this care. What is to be done for you? Would you like to be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army?’” She answered, “I dwell among my own people.”
14 On nastavi: “Dakle, što da učinimo za nju?” Gehazi odgovori: “Eto, nema sina, a muž joj je vremešan.”
He said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.”
15 A on reče: “Pozovi je!” Pozva je, a ona stade kod ulaza.
He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the door.
16 “Dogodine u ovo doba”, reče joj, “zagrlit ćeš sina u naručju.” A ona reče: “Ne, gospodaru moj, ne varaj službenice svoje!”
He said, “At this season next year, you will embrace a son.” She said, “No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your servant.”
17 Ali je žena doista zatrudnjela i rodila je sina druge godine u ono doba, kako joj je rekao Elizej.
The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her.
18 Dječak je rastao. Jednoga dana ode ocu kod žetelaca.
When the child was grown, one day he went out to his father to the reapers.
19 I potuži se ocu: “Jao, glava, glava moja!” A otac zapovjedi jednom momku da ga odnese majci.
He said to his father, “My head! My head!” He said to his 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.
When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died.
21 Ona tada ode gore i položi ga u postelju Božjega čovjeka. Izišla je zatim i zaključala vrata.
She went up and laid him on the man of God’s bed, and shut the door on him, 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.”
She called to her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and come again.”
23 On je upita: “Zašto da danas pođeš k njemu? Nije ni mlađak niti je subota.” Ali ona odgovori: “Ostaj u miru!”
He said, “Why would you want to go to him today? It is not a new moon or a Sabbath.” She said, “It’s all right.”
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 a donkey, and said to her servant, “Drive, and go forward! Don’t slow down for me, unless I ask you to.”
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 went, and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her afar off, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Behold, there is the Shunammite.
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 now to meet her, and ask her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with your child?’” She answered, “It is well.”
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 came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; 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.”
Then he said to Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and go your way. If you meet any man, don’t greet him; and if anyone greets you, don’t answer him again. Then lay my staff on the child’s face.”
30 Ali dječakova majka reče: “Života mi Jahvina i tvoga, neću te ostaviti!” On tada ustade i pođe za njom.
The child’s mother said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So he arose, 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 ahead of them, and laid the staff on the child’s face; but there was no voice and no hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, “The child has not awakened.”
32 Elizej uđe u kuću i nađe dječaka gdje mrtav leži na njegovoj postelji.
When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and lying on his bed.
33 Ušavši, zatvori vrata za sobom i pomoli se Jahvi.
He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, 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.
He went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself on him; and the child’s flesh grew 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.
Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth, then went up and stretched himself out on him. Then the child sneezed seven times, and the child 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.”
He called Gehazi, and said, “Call this Shunammite!” So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, “Take up your son.”
37 Ona, ušavši, pade mu pred noge i pokloni se do zemlje. Zatim uze svoga sina te iziđe.
Then she went in, fell at his feet, and bowed herself 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.”
Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, “Get the large pot, and boil 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 went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered a lap full of wild gourds from it, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew; for they didn’t recognize them.
40 Usuše ljudima da jedu. Ali kad su počeli jesti, povikaše: “Čovječe Božji! Smrt je u loncu!” I nisu mogli jesti.
So they poured out for the men to eat. As they were eating some of the stew, they cried out and said, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” 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.
But he said, “Then bring meal.” He threw it into the pot; and he said, “Serve it to the people, that they may 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!”
A man from Baal Shalishah came, and brought the man of God some bread of the first fruits: twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. Elisha said, “Give to the people, that they may eat.”
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.'”
His servant said, “What, should I set this before a hundred men?” But he said, “Give it to the people, that they may eat; for the LORD says, ‘They will eat, and will 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 LORD’s word.
