2 Kings 3
1 In the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Jehoram son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria twelve years.
A Joram sin Ahavov zacari se nad Izrailjem u Samariji osamnaeste godine carovanja Josafatova nad Judom, i carova dvanaest godina.
2 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as his father and mother had done. He removed the sacred pillar of Baal that his father had made.
I èinjaše što je zlo pred Gospodom, ali ne kao otac njegov i kao mati njegova, jer obori lik Valov koji bješe naèinio otac njegov.
3 Nevertheless, he clung to the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit; he did not turn away from them.
Ali osta u grijesima Jerovoama sina Navatova, kojima navede na grijeh Izrailja, i ne otstupi od njih.
4 Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder, and he would render to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and the wool of a hundred thousand rams.
A Misa car Moavski imaše mnogo stoke, i davaše caru Izrailjevu sto tisuæa jaganjaca i sto tisuæa ovnova pod runom.
5 But after the death of Ahab, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Ali kad umrije Ahav, odmetnu se car Moavski od cara Izrailjeva.
6 So at that time King Jehoram set out from Samaria and mobilized all Israel.
A car Joram izide u to vrijeme iz Samarije i prebroji svega Izrailja.
7 And he sent a message to Jehoshaphat king of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight against Moab?” “I will go,” replied Jehoshaphat. “I am like you, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”
I otide, te posla k Josafatu caru Judinu i poruèi mu: car Moavski odmetnu se od mene; hoæeš li iæi sa mnom na vojsku na Moavce? A on reèe: hoæu, ja kao ti, moj narod kao tvoj narod, moji konji kao tvoji konji.
8 Then he asked, “Which way shall we go up?” “By way of the Desert of Edom,” replied Joram.
Iza toga reèe: a kojim æemo putem iæi? A on reèe: preko pustinje Edomske.
9 So the king of Israel, the king of Judah, and the king of Edom set out, and after they had traveled a roundabout route for seven days, they had no water for their army or for their animals.
I tako izide car Izrailjev i car Judin i car Edomski, i idoše putem sedam dana, i ne bijaše vode vojsci ni stoci, koja iðaše za njima.
10 “Alas,” said the king of Israel, “for the LORD has summoned these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab!”
I reèe car Izrailjev: jaoh! dozva Gospod ova tri cara da ih preda u ruke Moavcima.
11 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of the LORD here? Let us inquire of the LORD through him.” And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered, “Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He used to pour water on the hands of Elijah.”
A Josafat reèe: ima li tu koji prorok Gospodnji da upitamo Gospoda preko njega? A jedan izmeðu sluga cara Izrailjeva odgovori i reèe: ovdje je Jelisije sin Safatov, koji je Iliji poljevao vodom ruke.
12 Jehoshaphat affirmed, “The word of the LORD is with him.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
Tada reèe Josafat: u njega je rijeè Gospodnja. I otidoše k njemu car Izrailjev i Josafat i car Edomski.
13 Elisha, however, said to the king of Israel, “What have we to do with each other? Go to the prophets of your father and of your mother!” “No,” replied the king of Israel, “for it is the LORD who has summoned these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”
A Jelisije reèe caru Izrailjevu: šta je meni do tebe? idi ka prorocima oca svojega i ka prorocima matere svoje. A car Izrailjev reèe mu: ne, jer Gospod dozva ova tri cara da ih preda u ruke Moavcima.
14 Then Elisha said, “As surely as the LORD of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, were it not for my regard for the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you or acknowledge you.
A Jelisije reèe: tako da je živ Gospod nad vojskama, pred kojim stojim, da ne gledam na Josafata cara Judina, ne bih mario za te niti bih te pogledao.
15 But now, bring me a harpist.” And while the harpist played, the hand of the LORD came upon Elisha
Nego sada dovedite mi gudaèa. I kad gudaè guðaše, doðe ruka Gospodnja nada nj;
16 and he said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Dig this valley full of ditches.’
I reèe: ovako veli Gospod: naèinite po ovoj dolini mnogo jama.
17 For the LORD says, ‘You will not see wind or rain, but the valley will be filled with water, and you will drink—you and your cattle and your animals.’
Jer ovako veli Gospod: neæete osjetiti vjetra niti æete vidjeti dažda, ali æe se dolina ova napuniti vode, te æete piti i vi i ljudi vaši i stoka vaša.
18 This is a simple matter in the sight of the LORD, and He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
Pa i to je malo Gospodu, nego i Moavce æe vam predati u ruke.
19 And you shall attack every fortified city and every city of importance. You shall cut down every good tree, stop up every spring, and ruin every good field with stones.”
I raskopaæete sve tvrde gradove, i sve izabrane gradove, i posjeæi æete sva dobra drveta i zaroniti sve izvore vodene, i svaku njivu dobru potræete kamenjem.
20 The next morning, at the time of the morning sacrifice, water suddenly flowed from the direction of Edom and filled the land.
A ujutru kad se prinosi dar, gle, doðe voda od Edomske, i napuni se zemlja vode.
21 Now all the Moabites had heard that the kings had come up to fight against them. So all who could bear arms, young and old, were summoned and stationed at the border.
A svi Moavci èuvši da su izišli carevi da udare na njih, sazvaše sve koji se poèinjahu pasati i starije i stadoše na meði.
22 When they got up early in the morning, the sun was shining on the water, and it looked as red as blood to the Moabites across the way.
A ujutru kad ustaše i sunce ogranu nad onom vodom, ugledaše Moavci prema sebi vodu gdje se crveni kao krv.
23 “This is blood!” they exclaimed. “The kings have clashed swords and slaughtered one another. Now to the plunder, Moab!”
I rekoše: krv je; pobili su se carevi, i jedan drugoga pogubili; sada dakle na plijen, Moavci!
24 But when the Moabites came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and attacked them, and they fled before them. So the Israelites invaded their land and struck down the Moabites.
A kad doðoše do okola Izrailjeva, podigoše se Izrailjci i razbiše Moavce, te pobjegoše ispred njih, a oni uðoše u zemlju Moavsku bijuæi ih.
25 They destroyed the cities, and each man threw stones on every good field until it was covered. They stopped up every spring and cut down every good tree. Only Kir-haraseth was left with stones in place, but men with slings surrounded it and attacked it as well.
I gradove njihove raskopaše, i na svaku dobru njivu bacajuæi svaki po kamen zasuše je, i sve izvore vodene zaroniše, i sva dobra drveta posjekoše tako da samo ostaviše kamenje u Kirarasetu. I opkolivši ga praæari stadoše ga biti.
26 When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not prevail.
A car Moavski kad vidje da æe ga nadvladati vojska, uze sa sobom sedam stotina ljudi, koji mahahu maèem, da prodru kroz vojsku cara Edomskoga, ali ne mogoše.
27 So he took his firstborn son, who was to succeed him, and offered him as a burnt offering on the city wall. And there was great fury against the Israelites, so they withdrew and returned to their own land.
Tada uze sina svojega prvenca koji šæaše biti car na njegovo mjesto, i prinese ga na žrtvu paljenicu na zidu. Tada se podiže veliki gnjev na Izrailja, te otidoše odande i vratiše se u svoju zemlju.
