2 Kraljevima 6
1 Proročki sinovi rekoše Elizeju: “Gle, tijesan nam je prostor u tebe.
And sons of the prophet say unto Elisha, 'Lo, we pray thee, the place where we are dwelling before thee is too strait for us;
2 Nego da odemo do Jordana, pa da svaki ondje uzmemo po brvno i načinimo sebi ondje prebivalište.” On odgovori: “Idite.”
let us go, we pray thee, unto the Jordan, and we take thence each one beam, and we make for ourselves there a place to dwell there;' and he saith, 'Go.'
3 Jedan od njih reče mu: “Udostoj se poći sa svojim slugama.” On odgovori: “Hoću.”
And the one saith, 'Be pleased, I pray thee, and go with thy servants;' and he saith, 'I — I go.'
4 I pođe s njima. Kad su stigli do Jordana, uzeše sjeći drva.
And he goeth with them, and they come in to the Jordan, and cut down the trees,
5 A dok je jedan od njih tesao gredu, pade mu sjekira u vodu i on povika: “Jao, gospodaru! I još je bila posuđena!”
and it cometh to pass, the one is felling the beam, and the iron hath fallen into the water, and he crieth and saith, 'Alas! my lord, and it asked!'
6 A čovjek Božji upita ga: “Gdje je pala?” Onaj mu pokaza mjesto. Tada on odsiječe komad drveta, baci ga na ono mjesto i učini da sjekira ispliva.
And the man of God saith, 'Whither hath it fallen?' and he sheweth him the place, and he cutteth a stick, and casteth thither, and causeth the iron to swim,
7 I reče: “Izvadi je!” I čovjek pruži ruku te je uze.
and saith, 'Raise to thee;' and he putteth forth his hand and taketh it.
8 Aramejski kralj bio u ratu s Izraelom. Posavjetovao se sa svojim časnicima i rekao: “Podignite šatore na tom mjestu.”
And the king of Aram hath been fighting against Israel, and taketh counsel with his servants, saying, 'At such and such a place [is] my encamping.'
9 Ali Elizej poruči izraelskom kralju: “Čuvaj se onoga mjesta jer su se Aramejci ondje utaborili.”
And the man of God sendeth unto the king of Israel, saying, 'Take heed of passing by this place, for thither are the Aramaeans coming down;
10 I kralj izraelski upozori ljude na mjesto za koje mu je rekao čovjek Božji. On je upozoravao i kralj se čuvao; a bilo je to više puta.
and the king of Israel sendeth unto the place of which the man of God spake to him, and warned him, and he is preserved there not once nor twice.
11 Srce aramejskog kralja uznemiri se zbog toga, pa on pozva svoje časnike te ih upita: “Nećete li mi reći tko od naših drži s kraljem Izraelovim?”
And the heart of the king of Aram is tossed about concerning this thing, and he calleth unto his servants, and saith unto them, 'Do ye not declare to me who of us [is] for the king of Israel?'
12 Jedan od časnika odgovori: “Ne, gospodaru kralju; Elizej, prorok Izraelov, otkriva izraelskom kralju riječi koje kazuješ u svojoj spavaonici.”
And one of his servants saith, 'Nay, my lord, O king, for Elisha the prophet, who [is] in Israel, declareth to the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in the inner part of thy bed-chamber.'
13 On reče: “Idite i pogledajte gdje je, pa ću već poslati da ga uhvate.” I javiše mu: “Eno ga u Dotanu.”
And he saith, 'Go ye and see where he [is], and I send and take him;' and it is declared to him, saying, 'Lo — in Dothan.'
14 Tada kralj posla onamo konje, kola i jake čete. Oni stigoše noću i opkoliše grad.
And he sendeth thither horses and chariot, and a heavy force, and they come in by night, and go round against the city.
15 Ujutro, ustavši, čovjek Božji iziđe, a to oko grada stoji vojska s konjima i kolima! Njegov mu momak reče: “Ah, gospodaru moj, što nam je činiti?”
And the servant of the man of God riseth early, and goeth out, and lo, a force is surrounding the city, and horse and chariot, and his young man saith unto him, 'Alas! my lord, how do we do?'
16 A on odgovori: “Ne boj se jer ih ima više s nama nego s njima.”
And he saith, 'Fear not, for more [are] they who [are] with us than they who [are] with them.'
17 I Elizej se pomoli ovako: “Jahve, otvori mu oči da vidi!” I Jahve otvori oči momku i on vidje: gora oko Elizeja sva prekrivena ognjenim konjima i kolima!
And Elisha prayeth, and saith, 'Jehovah, open, I pray Thee, his eyes, and he doth see;' and Jehovah openeth the eyes of the young man, and he seeth, and lo, the hill is full of horses and chariots of fire, round about Elisha.
18 Kad su Aramejci sišli prema njemu, Elizej se ovako pomoli Jahvi: “Udari sljepoćom ove ljude!” I na riječ Elizejevu udari ih sljepoćom.
And they come down unto it, and Elisha prayeth unto Jehovah, and saith, 'Smite, I pray Thee, this nation with blindness;' and He smiteth them with blindness, according to the word of Elisha.
19 Elizej im reče: “Nije ovo put i nije ovo grad. Pođite za mnom, ja ću vas odvesti čovjeku koga tražite.” Ali ih odvede u Samariju.
And Elisha saith unto them, 'This [is] not the way, nor [is] this the city; come after me, and I lead you unto the man whom ye seek;' and he leadeth them to Samaria.
20 Kad su ulazili u Samariju, Elizej reče: “Jahve, otvori ovima oči da progledaju.” Jahve im otvori oči i oni vidješe da su usred Samarije!
And it cometh to pass, at their coming in to Samaria, that Elisha saith, 'Jehovah, open the eyes of these, and they see;' and Jehovah openeth their eyes, and they see, and lo, in the midst of Samaria!
21 Kad ih vidje kralj Izraela, reče Elizeju: “Treba li ih poubijati, oče moj?”
And the king of Israel saith unto Elisha, at his seeing them, 'Do I smite — do I smite — my father?'
22 A on odgovori: “Nemoj ih ubiti. Zar ćeš ubiti one koje nisi zarobio svojim lukom i mačem? Ponudi im kruha i vode; neka jedu i piju i neka se vrate svome gospodaru.”
And he saith, 'Thou dost not smite; those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow art thou smiting? set bread and water before them, and they eat, and drink, and go unto their lord.'
23 Kralj im priredi veliku gozbu. Pošto su jeli i pili, otpusti ih. I vratiše se svome gospodaru. I tako aramejski pljačkaši nisu više zalazili na izraelsko tlo.
And he prepareth for them great provision, and they eat and drink, and he sendeth them away, and they go unto their lord: and troops of Aram have not added any more to come in to the land of Israel.
24 Dogodi se poslije toga te aramejski kralj Ben-Hadad skupi svu svoju vojsku i uzađe i opkoli Samariju.
And it cometh to pass afterwards, that Ben-Hadad king of Aram gathereth all his camp, and goeth up, and layeth siege to Samaria,
25 I nasta velika glad u Samariji, a opsada potraja toliko da je magareća glava stajala osamdeset šekela srebra, a četvrt kaba golubinje nečisti pet šekela srebra.
and there is a great famine in Samaria, and lo, they are laying siege to it, till the head of an ass is at eighty silverlings, and a forth of the cab of dovesdung at five silverlings.
26 Kada je kralj prolazio po zidinama, neka mu žena vikne: “Pomozi, gospodaru kralju!”
And it cometh to pass, the king of Israel is passing by on the wall, and a woman hath cried unto him, saying, 'Save, my lord, O king.'
27 On odgovori: “Neka ti pomogne Jahve! Kako ću ti ja pomoći? Nečim s gumna ili iz tijeska?”
And he saith, 'Jehovah doth not save thee — whence do I save thee? out of the threshing-floor, or out of the wine-vat?'
28 Još joj kralj reče: “Što ti je?” Ona odgovori: “Ova mi je žena rekla: 'Daj svoga sina da ga pojedemo danas, a sutra ćemo pojesti moga!'
And the king saith to her, 'What — to thee?' and she saith, 'This woman said unto me, Give thy son, and we eat him to-day, and my son we eat to-morrow;
29 Skuhale smo moga sina i pojele ga. A sutradan rekoh joj: 'Daj svoga sina da ga pojedemo.' Ali je ona sakrila svoga sina.”
and we boil my son and eat him, and I say unto her on the next day, Give thy son, and we eat him; and she hideth her son.'
30 Kada je kralj čuo riječi te žene, razdrije na sebi haljine. I kad je išao po zidinama, narod vidje da mu je na tijelu kostrijet.
And it cometh to pass, at the king's hearing the words of the woman, that he rendeth his garments, and he is passing by on the wall, and the people see, and lo, the sackcloth [is] on his flesh within.
31 I reče tada kralj: “Neka mi Bog učini ovo zlo i doda drugo ako glava Elizeja, sina Šafatova, ostane danas na njegovim ramenima!”
And he saith, 'Thus doth God do to me, and thus He doth add — if it remain — the head of Elisha son of Shaphat — upon him this day.'
32 Elizej sjedio u svojoj kući i starješine sjedile s njim. Kralj je ispred sebe poslao glasnika, ali Elizej reče starješinama, prije nego što je glasnik stigao do njega: “Vidite li da je onaj krvnički sin naredio da mi skinu glavu? Pazite: kada glasnik stigne, zatvorite vrata i odbijte ga od vrata. Ne čuje li se topot koraka njegova gospodara za njim?”
And Elisha is sitting in his house, and the elders are sitting with him, and [the king] sendeth a man from before him; before the messenger doth come unto him, even he himself said unto the elders, 'Have ye seen that this son of the murderer hath sent to turn aside my head? see, at the coming in of the messenger, shut the door, and ye have held him fast at the door, is not the sound of the feet of his lord behind him?'
33 Dok im je još govorio, kralj stupi preda nj i reče mu: “Ova je nevolja, gle, od Jahve! Što da još očekujem od Jahve?”
He is yet speaking with them, and lo, the messenger is coming down unto him, and he saith, 'Lo, this [is] the evil from Jehovah: what — do I wait for Jehovah any more?'
