1 Kings 21
1 Now Naboth the Jezreelite had a vine-garden in Jezreel, near the house of Ahab, king of Samaria.
Nakon tih događaja dogodilo se ovo: Nabot Jizreelac imao vinograd kraj palače Ahaba, kralja samarijskog,
2 And Ahab said to Naboth, Give me your vine-garden so that I may have it for a garden of sweet plants, for it is near my house; and let me give you a better vine-garden in exchange, or, if it seems good to you, let me give you its value in money.
i Ahab ovako reče Nabotu: “Ustupi mi svoj vinograd da mi bude za povrtnjak jer je blizu moje kuće. Ja ću ti dati za nj bolji vinograd, ili, ako to želiš, dat ću ti novca koliko vrijedi.”
3 But Naboth said to Ahab, By the Lord, far be it from me to give you the heritage of my fathers.
Ali Nabot reče Ahabu: “Jahve me sačuvao od toga da ti ustupim baštinu svojih otaca!”
4 So Ahab came into his house bitter and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had said to him, I will not give you the heritage of my fathers. And stretching himself on the bed with his face turned away, he would take no food.
Ahab se vrati kući mrk i ljutit zbog riječi koju mu je Nabot Jizreelac rekao: “Ne dam ti baštine svojih otaca.” Legao je na postelju i okrenuo lice i nije htio okusiti hrane.
5 But Jezebel, his wife, came to him and said, Why is your spirit so bitter that you have no desire for food?
Dođe mu njegova žena Izebela i reče: “Zašto si zlovoljan i ne mariš za hranu?”
6 And he said to her, Because I was talking to Naboth the Jezreelite, and I said to him, Let me have your vine-garden for a price, or, if it is pleasing to you, I will give you another vine-garden for it: and he said, I will not give you my vine-garden.
On joj odgovori: “Govorio sam Nabotu Jizreelcu i rekao mu: 'Ustupi mi svoj vinograd za novac, ili, ako ti je draže, dat ću ti drugi vinograd za taj.' Ali mi je on rekao: 'Ne dam ti svoga vinograda.'”
7 Then Jezebel, his wife, said, Are you now the ruler of Israel? Get up, take food, and let your heart be glad; I will give you the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite.
Tada mu žena Izebela reče: “Jesi li ti onaj koji kraljuje nad Izraelom! Ustani i jedi i budi dobre volje. Ja ću ti pribaviti vinograd Nabota Jizreelca.”
8 So she sent a letter in Ahab's name, stamped with his stamp, to the responsible men and the chiefs who were in authority with Naboth.
I napisa ona pisma u ime Ahabovo i zapečati ih kraljevskim pečatom. Pisma je poslala starješinama i glavarima Nabotovim sugrađanima.
9 And in the letter she said, Let a time of public sorrow be fixed, and put Naboth at the head of the people;
U tim je pismima napisala: “Proglasite post i postavite Nabota na čelo naroda.
10 And get two good-for-nothing persons to come before him and give witness that he has been cursing God and the king. Then take him out and have him stoned to death.
Postavite prema njemu dva nitkova koji će ga optužiti: 'Proklinjao si Boga i kralja!' Tada ga izvedite i kamenujte ga da pogine.”
11 So the responsible men and the chiefs who were in authority in his town, did as Jezebel had said in the letter she sent them.
I učiniše ljudi Nabotova grada, starješine i glavari, kako im je Izebela zapovjedila i kako je pisalo u pismima koja im je uputila.
12 They gave orders for a day of public sorrow, and put Naboth at the head of the people.
Proglasiše post i Nabota postaviše na čelo naroda.
13 And the two good-for-nothing persons came in and took their seats before him and gave witness against Naboth, in front of the people, saying, Naboth has been cursing God and the king. Then they took him outside the town and had him stoned to death.
Tada dođoše dva nitkova, sjedoše mu nasuprot i optužiše Nabota pred narodom: “Nabot je proklinjao Boga i kralja.” I tako izvedoše Nabota izvan grada, zasuše ga kamenjem i on pogibe.
14 And they sent word to Jezebel, saying, Naboth has been stoned and is dead.
Zatim poručiše Izebeli: “Nabot je kamenovan i umro je.”
15 Then Jezebel, hearing that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, said to Ahab, Get up and take as your heritage the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he would not give you for money, for Naboth is no longer living but is dead.
Pošto je Izebela čula da je Nabot kamenovan i da je umro, reče Ahabu: “Ustani i zaposjedni vinograd što ti ga Nabot Jizreelac ne htjede ustupiti za novac. Nabot više nije živ, on je mrtav.”
16 So Ahab, hearing that Naboth was dead, went down to the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite to take it as his heritage.
Kada je Ahab doznao da je Nabot mrtav, ustade i siđe u vinograd Nabota Jizreelca da ga zaposjedne.
17 And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Tada bi upućena riječ Jahvina Iliji Tišbijcu:
18 Go down to Ahab, king of Israel, in Samaria; see, he is in the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite, where he has gone to take it as his heritage.
“Ustani i siđi u Samariju, u susret Ahabu, kralju izraelskom. Eno ga u vinogradu Nabotovu u koji je sišao da ga zaposjedne.
19 Say to him, The Lord says, Have you put a man to death and taken his heritage? Then say to him, The Lord says, In the place where dogs have been drinking the blood of Naboth, there will your blood become the drink of dogs.
Reci mu: 'Ovako veli Jahve: Umorio si, oteo si! Zato ovako veli Jahve: Na mjestu gdje su psi lizali Nabotovu krv, lizat će psi i tvoju.'”
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you come face to face with me, O my hater? And he said, I have come to you because you have given yourself up to do evil in the eyes of the Lord.
Ahab reče Iliji: “Nađe li me, neprijatelju moj?” Ilija odgovori: “Nađoh te, jer si se prodao da činiš što je zlo u očima Jahvinim.
21 See, I will send evil on you and put an end to you completely, cutting off from Ahab every male child, him who is shut up and him who goes free in Israel;
Evo, tek što nisam navukao na te nesreću. Pomest ću tvoje potomstvo, istrijebiti Ahabu sve što mokri uza zid, robove i slobodnjake u Izraelu.
22 And I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the family of Baasha, the son of Ahijah, because you have made me angry, and have made Israel do evil.
Učinit ću s tvojom kućom kao s kućom Jeroboama, sina Nebatova, i s kućom Baše, sina Ahijina, jer si me rasrdio i naveo Izraela na grijeh.
23 And of Jezebel the Lord said, Jezebel will become food for dogs in the heritage of Jezreel.
I nad Izebelom reče Jahve: psi će proždrijeti Izebelu na Jizreelskom polju.
24 Any man of the family of Ahab who comes to his death in the town will become food for the dogs; and he who comes to his death in the open country will be food for the birds of the air.
Tko od obitelji Ahabove umre u gradu, psi će ga izjesti, a tko umre u polju, pojest će ga ptice nebeske.”
25 (There was no one like Ahab, who gave himself up to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, moved to it by Jezebel his wife.
Doista, nitko se nije prodao tako kao Ahab da čini što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, jer ga je zavodila njegova žena Izebela.
26 He did a very disgusting thing in going after false gods, doing all the things the Amorites did, whom the Lord sent out before the children of Israel.)
Činio je vrlo odvratna djela: išao je za idolima baš kao što su činili Amorejci, koje je Jahve protjerao ispred Izraelaca.
27 Hearing these words, Ahab, in great grief, put haircloth on his flesh and went without food, sleeping in haircloth, and going about quietly.
Kad je Ahab čuo te riječi, razdrije svoje haljine i stavi kostrijet na tijelo; i postio je, u kostrijeti je spavao i naokolo išao tiho jecajući.
28 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Tada dođe riječ Jahvina Iliji Tišbijcu:
29 Do you see how Ahab has made himself low before me? because he has made himself low before me, I will not send the evil in his life-time, but in his son's time I will send the evil on his family.
“Jesi li vidio kako se Ahab preda mnom ponizio? Budući da se tako ponizio preda mnom, neću zla pustiti za njegova života; u vrijeme njegova sina pustit ću zlo na kuću njegovu.”
