2 Chronicles 18

1 Now Jehoshaphat had great wealth and honour, and his son was married to Ahab's daughter.

Torej Józafat je imel bogastev in časti v obilju in sklenil svaštvo z Ahábom.

2 And after some years he went down to Samaria to see Ahab. And Ahab made a feast for him and the people who were with him, putting to death great numbers of sheep and oxen; and he got Jehoshaphat to go with him to Ramoth-gilead.

Po nekaj letih je odšel dol k Ahábu v Samarijo. Aháb je zanj in za ljudstvo, ki ga je imel s seboj, v obilju zaklal ovce in vole in pregovoril ga je, da gre z njim gor v Ramót Gileád.

3 For Ahab, king of Israel, said to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he said, I am as you are, and my people as your people; we will be with you in the war.

Izraelov kralj Aháb je rekel Judovemu kralju Józafatu: »Hočeš iti z menoj v Ramót Gileád?« Ta mu je odgovoril: »Jaz sem, kakor si ti in moje ljudstvo kakor tvoje ljudstvo, in mi bomo s teboj v vojni.«

4 Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Let us now get directions from the Lord.

Józafat je Izraelovemu kralju rekel: »Poizvedi, prosim te, danes pri Gospodovi besedi.«

5 So the king of Israel got together all the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for God will give it into the hands of the king.

Zato je Izraelov kralj izmed prerokov skupaj zbral štiristo mož in jim rekel: »Ali naj gremo v Ramót Gileád, da se bojujemo ali naj [to] opustim?« Rekli so: »Pojdi gor, kajti Bog ga bo izročil v kraljevo roko.«

6 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no other prophet of the Lord here from whom we may get directions?

Toda Józafat je rekel: » Ali tukaj poleg ni Gospodovega preroka, da bi lahko poizvedeli od njega?

7 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom we may get directions from the Lord, but I have no love for him, because he has never been a prophet of good to me, but only of evil: he is Micaiah, the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

Izraelov kralj je Józafatu rekel: » Je še en mož, pri katerem bi lahko povprašali Gospoda, toda jaz ga sovražim, kajti nikoli mi ne prerokuje dobro, temveč vedno hudo. Ta isti je Jimlájev sin Miha.« Józafat je rekel: »Naj kralj ne govori tako.«

8 Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imla.

Izraelov kralj je dal poklicati enega izmed svojih častnikov in rekel: »Pojdi hitro po Jimlájevega sina Miha.«

9 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were seated on their seats of authority, dressed in their robes, by the doorway into Samaria; and all the prophets were acting as prophets before them.

Izraelov kralj in Judov kralj Józafat sta sedela, vsak izmed njiju na svojem prestolu, oblečena v njuna svečana oblačila in sedela na odprtem kraju pri vhodu velikih vrat Samarije, vsi preroki pa so prerokovali pred njima.

10 And Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made himself iron horns and said, The Lord says, Pushing back the Aramaeans with these, you will put an end to them completely.

Kenaanájev sin Cidkijá si je naredil rogove iz železa in rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›S temi boš porinil Sirijo, dokler ne bodo použiti.

11 And all the prophets said the same thing, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and it will go well for you, for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.

Vsi preroki so prerokovali tako, rekoč: »Pojdi gor v Ramót Gileád in uspevaj, kajti Gospod ga bo izročil v kraljevo roko.«

12 Now the servant who had gone to get Micaiah said to him, See now, all the prophets with one voice are saying good things to the king; so let your words be like theirs, and say good things.

Poslanec, ki je odšel, da pokliče Miha, mu je spregovoril, rekoč: »Glej, besede prerokov soglasno kralju razglašajo dobro. Naj bo torej tvoja beseda, prosim te, kakor ena izmed njihovih in govori dobro.«

13 And Micaiah said, By the living Lord, whatever the Lord says to me I will say.

Miha je rekel: » Kakor živi Gospod, kar reče moj Bog, to bom govoril.«

14 When he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, are we to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And he said, Go up, and it will go well for you; and they will be given up into your hands.

Ko je prišel h kralju, mu je kralj rekel: »Miha, ali naj gremo gor v Ramót Gileád, da se bojujemo ali naj [to] opustim?« Ta je rekel: »Pojdite gor in uspevajte in izročeni bodo v vašo roko.«

15 And the king said to him, Have I not, again and again, put you on your oath to say nothing to me but what is true in the name of the Lord?

Kralj mu je rekel: »Kolikokrat te bom zaklinjal, da mi ne poveš ničesar, razen resnice, v Gospodovem imenu?«

16 Then he said, I saw all Israel wandering on the mountains like sheep without a keeper; and the Lord said, These have no master: let them go back, every man to his house in peace.

Potem je rekel: »Videl sem vsega Izraela razkropljenega po gorah kakor ovce, ki nimajo pastirja in Gospod je rekel: ›Ti nimajo gospodarja, naj se torej vrnejo v miru, vsak mož k svoji hiši.‹«

17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not say that he would not be a prophet of good to me, but of evil?

Izraelov kralj je Józafatu rekel: »Ali ti nisem rekel, da mi ne bo prerokoval dobro, temveč zlo?«

18 Then he said, Give ear now to the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord seated on his seat of power, and all the army of heaven in their places, at his right hand and at his left.

Ponovno je rekel: »Zato poslušajte besedo od Gospoda: ›Videl sem Gospoda sedeti na svojem prestolu in vso nebeško vojsko stati na njegovi desni roki in na njegovi levi.‹

19 And the Lord said, How may Ahab, king of Israel, be tricked into going up to Ramoth-gilead to his death? And one said one thing and one another.

Gospod je rekel: ›Kdo bo premamil Izraelovega kralj Ahába, da gre lahko gor in pade pri Ramót Gileádu?‹ Eden je odgovoril na ta način, drugi je odgovoril na ta način.

20 Then a spirit came forward and took his place before the Lord and said, I will get him to do it by a trick. And the Lord said to him, How?

Tedaj je šel naprej duh in obstal pred Gospodom ter rekel: ›Jaz ga bom premamil.‹ Gospod mu je rekel: ›S čim?‹

21 And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.

Rekel je: ›Šel bom ven in bom lažniv duh v ustih vseh njegovih prerokov.‹ In Gospod je rekel: ›Ti ga boš premamil in ti ga boš tudi pregovoril. Pojdi ven in stôri tako.‹

22 And now, see, the Lord has put a spirit of deceit in the mouth of these prophets of yours; and the Lord has said evil against you.

Zdaj torej glejte, Gospod je položil lažnivega duha v usta teh tvojih prerokov in Gospod je zoper tebe govoril zlo.«

23 Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of his face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?

Potem je Kenaanájev sin Cidkijá prišel bliže in udaril Miha po licu ter rekel: »Katero pot je odšel Gospodov duh od mene, da govori tebi?«

24 And Micaiah said, Truly, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to keep yourself safe.

Miha je rekel: »Glej, videl boš ta dan, ko boš šel v notranjo sobo, da se skriješ.«

25 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon, the ruler of the town, and to Joash, the king's son;

Potem je Izraelov kralj rekel: »Vzemite Miha in ga odvedite nazaj k Amónu, voditelju mesta in h kraljevemu sinu Joášu

26 And say, By the king's order this man is to be put in prison, and given prison food till I come back in peace.

ter recite: ›Tako govori kralj: ›Tega pajdaša postavita v ječo in ga hranita s kruhom stiske in z vodo stiske, dokler se ne vrnem v miru.‹«

27 And Micaiah said, If you come back at all in peace, the Lord has not sent his word by me.

Miha je rekel: »Če se zagotovo vrneš v miru, potem po meni ni govoril Gospod.« Rekel je [še]: »Prisluhnite vsa ve ljudstva.«

28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up to Ramoth-gilead.

Tako sta Izraelov kralj in Judov kralj Józafat odšla gor do Ramót Gileáda.

29 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will make a change in my clothing, so that I do not seem to be the king, and will go into the fight; but do you put on your robes. So the king of Israel made a change in his dress, and they went to the fight.

Izraelov kralj je Józafatu rekel: »Preoblekel se bom in šel v bitko, toda ti si nadeni svoja svečana oblačila.« Tako se je Izraelov kralj preoblekel in odšla sta na bitko.

30 Now the king of Aram had given orders to the captains of his war-carriages, saying, Make no attack on small or great, but only on the king of Israel.

Torej sirski kralj je zapovedal poveljnikom bojnih vozov, ki so bili z njim, rekoč: »Ne borite se z malim ali velikim, razen samo z Izraelovim kraljem.«

31 So when the captains of the war-carriages saw Jehoshaphat, they said, It is the king of Israel. And turning about, they came round him, but Jehoshaphat gave a cry, and the Lord came to his help, and God sent them away from him.

Pripetilo se je, ko so poveljniki bojnih vozov zagledali Józafata, da so rekli: »Ta je Izraelov kralj.« Zato so ga obdali, da se bojujejo, toda Józafat je zavpil in Gospod mu je pomagal in Bog jih je spodbodel, da odidejo od njega.

32 Now when the captains of the war-carriages saw that he was not the king of Israel, they went back from going after him.

Kajti pripetilo se je, da ko so poveljniki bojnih vozov zaznali, da to ni bil Izraelov kralj, so se ponovno obrnili nazaj od zasledovanja [za] njim.

33 And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.

Nek mož pa je preprosto napel lok in Izraelovega kralja zadel med člene prsnega oklepa. Zato je vozniku svojega bojnega voza rekel: »Obrni svojo roko, da me lahko odvedeš iz vojske, kajti ranjen sem.«

34 But the fight became more violent while the day went on; and the king of Israel was supported in his war-carriage facing the Aramaeans till the evening; and by sundown he was dead.

Bitka je ta dan narasla, vendar je Izraelov kralj sam stal pokonci na svojem bojnem vozu zoper Sirce do večera, okoli časa zahajanja sonca pa je umrl.
