2 Kraljevima 1
1 Poslije smrti Ahabove pobuni se Moab protiv Izraela.
Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2 Kako Ahazja bijaše pao preko prozorske rešetke svoje gornje odaje u Samariji i ozlijedio se, posla glasnike kojima reče: “Idite, pitajte Baal Zebuba, boga ekronskog, hoću li ozdraviti od ove bolesti.”
And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub the elohim of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
3 Ali je Anđeo Jahvin rekao Iliji Tišbijcu: “Ustani! Idi u susret glasnicima samarijanskoga kralja i reci im: 'Zar nema Boga u Izraelu te se idete savjetovati s Baal Zebubom, bogom ekronskim?'
But the angel of YHWH said to EliYah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not an Elohim in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub the elohim of Ekron?
4 I zato veli Jahve ovako: 'Nećeš sići s postelje u koju si se popeo; sigurno ćeš umrijeti.'” I ode Ilija.
Now therefore thus saith YHWH, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And EliYah departed.
5 Glasnici se vratiše k Ahazji, a on im reče: “Kako to da ste se već vratili?”
And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back?
6 Oni mu odgovoriše: “Sreo nas neki čovjek i rekao nam: 'Idite, vratite se pred kralja koji vas je poslao i recite mu: Ovako veli Jahve: Zar nema Boga u Izraelu te si poslao po savjet k Baal Zebubu, bogu ekronskom? Zato nećeš sići s postelje na koju si se popeo, nego ćeš umrijeti.'”
And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith YHWH, Is it not because there is not an Elohim in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub the elohim of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
7 On ih upita: “Kakav bijaše na oči taj čovjek koji vas je sreo i rekao vam te riječi?”
And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?
8 A oni mu odgovoriše: “Bio je to čovjek u kožuhu i s kožnim pojasom oko bedara.” On reče: “To je Ilija Tišbijac!”
And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is EliYah the Tishbite.
9 Tada mu posla pedesetnika s njegovom pedesetoricom i ode taj k njemu i, našavši ga gdje sjedi na vrhu brijega, reče mu: “Čovječe Božji! Kralj je naredio: Siđi!”
Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of Elohim, the king hath said, Come down.
10 Ilija odgovori i reče pedesetniku: “Ako sam čovjek Božji, neka oganj siđe s neba i neka te proguta, tebe i tvoju pedesetoricu.” I oganj se spusti s neba i proguta ga, njega i njegovu pedesetoricu.
And EliYah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of Elohim, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
11 Kralj mu posla drugoga pedesetnika i njegovu pedesetoricu; a taj, kad dođe, reče mu: “Čovječe Božji! Kralj je ovo zapovjedio: Brže siđi!”
Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of Elohim, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.
12 Ilija odgovori i reče mu: “Ako sam čovjek Božji, neka siđe oganj s neba i proguta tebe i tvoju pedesetoricu.” I spusti se oganj s neba i proguta ga, njega i njegovu pedesetoricu.
And EliYah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of Elohim, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of Elohim came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
13 Kralj posla opet trećega pedesetnika i njegovu pedesetoricu. Treći pedesetnik dođe, prignu koljena pred Ilijom i zamoli ga ovako: “Čovječe Božji! Neka bude dragocjen u tvojim očima moj život i život ovih pedeset tvojih slugu!
And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before EliYah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of Elohim, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
14 Oganj se spustio s neba i progutao je oba pedesetnika s njihovom pedesetoricom; ali sada neka barem moj život bude dragocjen u tvojim očima!”
Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.
15 Anđeo Jahvin reče Iliji: “Siđi s njim, ne boj se!” On ustade i siđe s njim pred kralja
And the angel of YHWH said unto EliYah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.
16 i reče mu: “Ovako veli Jahve: zato što si slao glasnike Baal Zebubu, bogu ekronskom, po savjet, nećeš sići s postelje na koju si se popeo, nego ćeš umrijeti.”
And he said unto him, Thus saith YHWH, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub the elohim of Ekron, is it not because there is no Elohim in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
17 I umrije po riječi Jahvinoj koju je objavio Ilija. A Joram, njegov brat, zakralji se mjesto njega druge godine Jorama, sina Jošafata, judejskoga kralja, jer ovaj nije imao sinova.
So he died according to the word of YHWH which EliYah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
18 Ostala povijest Ahazje, sve što je učinio, zar to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva izraelskih?
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
