2 Kings 6
1 Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “Please take note that the place where we meet with you is too small for us.
Sinovi prerokov so Elizeju rekli: »Glej torej, kraj, kjer prebivamo s teboj, je za nas preveč utesnjen.
2 Please let us go to the Jordan, where each of us can get a log so we can build ourselves a place to live there.” “Go,” said Elisha.
Naj gremo, prosimo te, k Jordanu in si od tam vsak mož vzame bruno in si tam zgradimo kraj, kjer bomo lahko prebivali.« Odgovoril je: »Pojdite.«
3 Then one of them said, “Please come with your servants.” “I will come,” he replied.
Nekdo je rekel: »Bodi zadovoljen, prosim te in pojdi s svojimi služabniki.« Odgovoril je: »Šel bom.«
4 So Elisha went with them, and when they came to the Jordan, they began to cut down some trees.
Tako je šel z njimi. In ko so prišli k Jordanu, so sekali les.
5 As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axe head fell into the water. “Oh, my master,” he cried out, “it was borrowed!”
Toda ko je nekdo podiral drevo, je glava sekire padla v vodo in zavpil je ter rekel: »Ojoj, gospod! Kajti bila je izposojena.«
6 “Where did it fall?” asked the man of God. And when he showed him the place, the man of God cut a stick, threw it there, and made the iron float.
Božji mož je rekel: »Kam je padla?« Ta mu je pokazal kraj. In odsekal je palico ter jo vrgel tja in železo je zaplavalo.
7 “Lift it out,” he said, and the man reached out his hand and took it.
Zato je rekel: »Vzemi to k sebi.« In iztegnil je svojo roko in jo vzel.
8 Now the king of Aram was at war against Israel. After consulting with his servants, he said, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”
Potem se je sirski kralj vojskoval zoper Izraela in se posvetoval s svojimi služabniki, rekoč: »Na tem in tem kraju bo moj tabor.«
9 Then the man of God sent word to the king of Israel: “Be careful passing by this place, for the Arameans are going down there.”
Božji mož pa je k Izraelovemu kralju poslal, rekoč: »Pazi, da ne greš mimo tega kraja, kajti tja dol so prišli Sirci.«
10 So the king of Israel sent word to the place the man of God had pointed out. Time and again Elisha warned the king, so that he was on his guard in such places.
Izraelov kralj je poslal h kraju, o katerem mu je povedal Božji mož, ga o njem posvaril in tam se je rešil, ne samo enkrat ali dvakrat.
11 For this reason the king of Aram became enraged and called his servants to demand of them, “Tell me, which one of us is on the side of the king of Israel?”
Zato je bilo srce sirskega kralja zaradi te stvari boleče vznemirjeno. Poklical je svoje služabnike in jim rekel: »Ali mi ne boste pokazali, kdo izmed nas je za Izraelovega kralja?«
12 But one of his servants replied, “No one, my lord the king. For Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom.”
Nekdo izmed njegovih služabnikov je rekel: »Nihče, moj gospod, oh kralj, temveč prerok Elizej, ki je v Izraelu, govori Izraelovemu kralju besede, ki jih ti govoriš v svoji spalnici.«
13 So the king said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send men to capture him.” On receiving the report, “Elisha is in Dothan,”
Rekel je: »Pojdi in poglej, kje je, da bom lahko poslal in ga zgrabil.« Bilo mu je povedano, rekoč: »Glej, on je v Dotánu.«
14 the king of Aram sent horses, chariots, and a great army. They went there by night and surrounded the city.
Zato je tja poslal konje, bojne vozove in veliko vojsko. Prišli so ponoči in obkolili mesto.
15 When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early in the morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. So he asked Elisha, “Oh, my master, what are we to do?”
Ko je služabnik Božjega moža zgodaj vstal in odšel naprej, glej, vojska je obkolila mesto, tako s konji kakor bojnimi vozovi. Njegov služabnik mu je rekel: »Ojoj, moj gospod! Kaj bomo storili?«
16 “Do not be afraid,” Elisha answered, “for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
Odgovoril je: »Ne boj se, kajti tistih, ki so z nami, je več kakor tistih, ki so z njimi.«
17 Then Elisha prayed, “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.” And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the hills were full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
Elizej je molil in rekel: » Gospod, prosim te, odpri njegove oči, da bo lahko videl.« Gospod je odprl oči mladeniča in ta je videl in glej, gora je bila polna konj in ognjenih bojnih voz naokoli Elizeja.
18 As the Arameans came down against him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, “Please strike these people with blindness.” So He struck them with blindness, according to the word of Elisha.
Ko so prišli dol k njemu, je Elizej molil h Gospodu in rekel: »Udari to ljudstvo, prosim te, s slepoto.« In udaril jih je s slepoto glede na Elizejevo besedo.
19 And Elisha told them, “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will take you to the man you are seeking.” And he led them to Samaria.
Elizej jim je rekel: »To ni pot niti ni to mesto. Sledite mi in privedel vas bom k človeku, ki ga iščete.« Toda odvedel jih je v Samarijo.
20 When they had entered Samaria, Elisha said, “O LORD, open the eyes of these men that they may see.” Then the LORD opened their eyes, and they looked around and discovered that they were in Samaria.
Ko so prišli v Samarijo, se je pripetilo, da je Elizej rekel: » Gospod, odpri oči teh mož, da bodo lahko videli.« In Gospod je odprl njihove oči in so videli in glej, bili so sredi Samarije.
21 And when the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, “My father, shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?”
Ko jih je Izraelov kralj videl, je rekel Elizeju: »Moj oče, ali naj jih udarim? Ali naj jih udarim?«
22 “Do not kill them,” he replied. “Would you kill those you have captured with your own sword or bow? Set food and water before them, that they may eat and drink and then return to their master.”
Ta pa je odgovoril: »Ne boš jih udaril. Mar bi udaril tiste, ki si jih odvedel ujete s svojim mečem in s svojim lokom? Prednje postavi kruh in vodo, da bodo lahko jedli in pili in šli k svojemu gospodarju.«
23 So the king prepared a great feast for them, and after they had finished eating and drinking, he sent them away, and they returned to their master. And the Aramean raiders did not come into the land of Israel again.
Zanje je pripravil veliko preskrbo in ko so pojedli in popili, jih je poslal proč in odšli so k svojemu gospodarju. Tako čete iz Sirije niso nič več prihajale v deželo Izrael.
24 Some time later, Ben-hadad king of Aram assembled his entire army and marched up to besiege Samaria.
Po tem se je pripetilo, da je sirski kralj Ben Hadád zbral vso svojo vojsko, odšel gor in oblegal Samarijo.
25 So there was a great famine in Samaria. Indeed, they besieged the city so long that a donkey’s head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter cab of dove’s dung sold for five shekels of silver.
Tam v Samariji pa je bila velika lakota. Glej, oblegali so jo, dokler ni bila oslovska glava prodana za osemdeset koščkov srebra in četrtinka kaba golobjega iztrebka za pet koščkov srebra.
26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”
Medtem ko se je Izraelov kralj sprehajal po obzidju, je k njemu zavpila ženska, rekoč: »Pomagaj, moj gospod, oh kralj.«
27 He answered, “If the LORD does not help you, where can I find help for you? From the threshing floor or the winepress?”
Ta ji je rekel: »Če ti Gospod ne pomaga, od kod naj ti jaz pomagam? Iz skednja ali iz vinske stiskalnice?«
28 Then the king asked her, “What is the matter?” And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him, and tomorrow we will eat my son.’
Kralj ji je rekel: »Kaj te pesti?« Odgovorila je: »Ta ženska mi je rekla: ›Daj svojega sina, da ga bomo lahko danes pojedli, mojega sina pa bomo pojedli jutri.‹«
29 So we boiled my son and ate him, and the next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him.’ But she had hidden her son.”
Tako smo skuhali mojega sina in ga pojedli. Naslednji dan pa sem ji rekla: »Daj svojega sina, da ga bomo lahko pojedli.« Ona pa je svojega sina skrila.
30 When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes. And as he passed by on the wall, the people saw the sackcloth under his clothes next to his skin.
Pripetilo se je, ko je kralj slišal besede ženske, da je pretrgal svoja oblačila. Prek obzidja je šel mimo in ljudstvo je gledalo in glej, na svojem telesu je imel spodaj vrečevino.
31 He announced, “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains on his shoulders through this day!”
Potem je rekel: »Bog naj mi stori tako in še več, če bo glava Šafátovega sina Elizeja, ta dan obstala na njem.«
32 Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. The king sent a messenger ahead, but before he arrived, Elisha said to the elders, “Do you see how this murderer has sent someone to cut off my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door to keep him out. Is not the sound of his master’s footsteps behind him?”
Toda Elizej je sedel v svoji hiši in starešine so sedeli z njim. In kralj je izpred sebe poslal moža, toda malo preden je poslanec prišel k njemu, je starešinam rekel: »Ali vidite, kako je ta sin morilca poslal, da mi vzame mojo glavo? Poglejte, ko pride poslanec, zaprite vrata in ga trdno držite pri vratih. Mar ni zvok stopal njegovega gospodarja za njim?«
33 While Elisha was still speaking with them, the messenger came down to him. And the king said, “This calamity is from the LORD. Why should I wait for the LORD any longer?”
Medtem ko je še govoril z njimi, glej, je dol k njemu prišel poslanec in rekel: »Glej to zlo je od Gospoda. Zakaj bi še čakal na Gospoda?«
