2 Kings 8
1 Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had restored to life, “Arise, you and your household; go and live as a foreigner wherever you can. For the LORD has decreed a seven-year famine, and it has already come to the land.”
Elizej bijaše savjetovao ženi kojoj je oživio sina: “Ustani, pođi sa svojom obitelji i skloni se kao tuđinka bilo kamo, jer je Jahve pustio glad; već je došla u zemlju za sedam godina.”
2 So the woman had proceeded to do as the man of God had instructed. And she and her household lived as foreigners for seven years in the land of the Philistines.
Žena usta i učini kako joj je rekao čovjek Božji: otišla je, ona i njena obitelj, i ostala sedam godina u zemlji filistejskoj.
3 At the end of seven years, when the woman returned from the land of the Philistines, she went to the king to appeal for her house and her land.
Na kraju sedme godine žena se vrati iz zemlje filistejske i ode kralju da zatraži svoju kuću i njivu.
4 Now the king had been speaking to Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please relate to me all the great things Elisha has done.”
Upravo je kralj razgovarao s Gehazijem, momkom Božjega čovjeka. Govorio mu je: “Pripovijedaj mi o svim velikim djelima koja je Elizej učinio.”
5 And Gehazi was telling the king how Elisha had brought the dead back to life. Just then the woman whose son Elisha had revived came to appeal to the king for her house and her land. So Gehazi said, “My lord the king, this is the woman, and this is the son Elisha restored to life.”
I kad je pripovijedao kralju o uskrisenju djeteta, eto žene kojoj je Elizej oživio sina; ona se obrati kralju radi svoje kuće i njive. A Gezahi reče: “Gospodaru kralju, evo one žene i evo njena sina koga je Elizej oživio.”
6 When the king asked the woman, she confirmed it. So the king appointed for her an officer, saying, “Restore all that was hers, along with all the proceeds of the field from the day that she left the country until now.”
Kralj upita ženu i ona mu sve pripovjedi. Tada joj kralj dade jednoga slugu, komu naredi: “Neka joj se vrati sve što je njeno i svi prihodi od njive od dana kada je ostavila zemlju do danas!”
7 Then Elisha came to Damascus while Ben-hadad king of Aram was sick, and the king was told, “The man of God has come here.”
Elizej dođe u Damask. Ben-Hadad, kralj aramejski, bijaše obolio. Odmah mu javiše: “Božji čovjek došao ovamo.”
8 So the king said to Hazael, “Take a gift in your hand, go to meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD through him, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”
Tada reče kralj Hazaelu: “Uzmi sa sobom dar pa idi pred Božjeg čovjeka. I preko njega se posavjetuj s Jahvom da bi saznao hoću li se izliječiti od ove bolesti.”
9 So Hazael went to meet Elisha, taking with him a gift of forty camel loads of every good thing from Damascus. And he went in and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad king of Aram has sent me to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”
Hazael ode pred Elizeja i donese mu u dar što bijaše od ponajboljeg u Damasku, sve to natovareno na četrdeset deva. Dođe on i stade preda nj i reče: “Tvoj sin Ben-Hadad, kralj aramejski, šalje me k tebi i pita hoće li ozdraviti od one bolesti.”
10 Elisha answered, “Go and tell him, ‘You will surely recover.’ But the LORD has shown me that in fact he will die.”
Elizej mu odgovori: “Idi i reci mu: 'Ozdravit ćeš, dakako!' Ali mi je Jahve pokazao da će umrijeti.”
11 Elisha fixed his gaze steadily on him until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the man of God began to weep.
I čovjek Božji uprije pogled preda se, smeten, i zaplaka.
12 “Why is my lord weeping?” asked Hazael. “Because I know the evil you will do to the Israelites,” Elisha replied. “You will set fire to their fortresses, kill their young men with the sword, dash their little ones to pieces, and rip open their pregnant women.”
Hazael reče: “Zašto plačeš, moj gospodaru?” Elizej odgovori: “Zato što znam sva zla koja ćeš ti učiniti Izraelcima: spalit ćeš im utvrde, mačem ćeš poubijati njihove ratnike, njihovu ćeš djecu satirati, a trudne žene parati.”
13 “But how could your servant, a mere dog, do such a monstrous thing?” said Hazael. And Elisha answered, “The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Aram.”
Hazael reče: “Ali što je tvoj sluga? Zar je pas da učini tako strašne stvari?” Elizej odgovori: “U jednoj Jahvinoj objavi vidio sam tebe kao kralja aramejskog.”
14 So Hazael left Elisha and went to his master, who asked him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he replied, “He told me that you would surely recover.”
Hazael ode od Elizeja i vrati se svome gospodaru, koji ga upita: “Što ti je rekao Elizej?” On odgovori: “Rekao mi je da ćeš ozdraviti.”
15 But the next day Hazael took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it over the king’s face. So Ben-hadad died, and Hazael reigned in his place.
Ali sutradan uze pokrivač, namoči ga u vodi i pokri kralja preko lica te on umrije. A na njegovo mjesto zakralji se Hazael.
16 In the fifth year of the reign of Joram son of Ahab over Israel, Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat succeeded his father as king of Judah.
Pete godine kraljevanja Jorama, sina Ahabova, u Izraelu, postade judejskim kraljem Joram, sin Jošafatov.
17 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.
Bile su mu trideset i dvije godine kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je osam godina u Jeruzalemu.
18 And Jehoram walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done. For he married a daughter of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD.
Živio je poput izraelskih kraljeva, kao i dom Ahabov, jer mu je kći Ahabova bila žena; radio je što je zlo u Jahvinim očima.
19 Yet for the sake of His servant David, the LORD was unwilling to destroy Judah, since He had promised to maintain a lamp for David and his descendants forever.
Ipak Jahve ne htjede razoriti Judeje zbog sluge svoga Davida, zato što mu obeća da će dati svjetiljku njemu i njegovim sinovima zauvijek.
20 In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own king.
U njegovo se vrijeme Edomci odmetnuše ispod judejske vlasti i postaviše sebi kralja.
21 So Jehoram crossed over to Zair with all his chariots. When the Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, he rose up and attacked by night. His troops, however, fled to their homes.
Joram ode u Seir i s njim sva bojna kola. Diže se noću i pobi Edomce koji su bili opkolili njega i zapovjednike bojnih kola. Narod pobježe u svoje šatore.
22 So to this day Edom has been in rebellion against the hand of Judah. Likewise, Libnah rebelled at the same time.
Ipak su se Edomci oslobodili ispod judejske vlasti sve do danas. U isto se doba odmetnu i Libna.
23 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoram, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Ostala povijest Jorama, sve što je učinio, zar to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva judejskih?
24 And Jehoram rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David. And his son Ahaziah reigned in his place.
Joram počinu kraj svojih otaca i bi pokopan k svojim ocima u Davidovu gradu. Njegov sin Ahazja zakralji se mjesto njega.
25 In the twelfth year of the reign of Joram son of Ahab over Israel, Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah.
Dvanaeste godine Jorama, sina Ahabova, kralja Izraela, postade judejskim kraljem Ahazja, sin Joramov.
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri king of Israel.
Ahazji bijahu dvadeset i dvije godine kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je godinu dana u Jeruzalemu. Mati mu se zvala Atalija, a bila je kći izraelskog kralja Omrija.
27 And Ahaziah walked in the ways of the house of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab, for he was a son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
I on je hodio putem obitelji Ahabove i činio je zlo u očima Jahvinim, kao i obitelj Ahabova, jer je s njom bio u rodu.
28 Then Ahaziah went with Joram son of Ahab to fight against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead, and the Arameans wounded Joram.
On je pošao s Joramom, sinom Ahabovim, u Ramot Gilead u boj protiv Hazaela, aramskog kralja.
29 So King Joram returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds that the Arameans had inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Then Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to visit Joram son of Ahab, because Joram had been wounded.
Kralj Joram vratio se u Jizreel da se liječi od rana što mu ih zadadoše u Rami kad se borio s aramejskim kraljem Hazaelom. Joramov sin Ahazja, judejski kralj, sišao je u Jizreel da posjeti Ahabova sina Jorama jer se Joram razbolio.
