2 Kings 3
1 And Jehoram, the son of Ahab, became king over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of the rule of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah; and he was king for twelve years.
Joram, sin Ahabov, zakralji se nad Izraelom u Samariji osamnaeste godine Jošafatova kraljevanja u Judeji. I vladao je dvanaest godina.
2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord; but not like his father and his mother, for he put away the stone pillar of Baal which his father had made.
Činio je što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, ali ne kao njegov otac i mati, jer je uklonio Baalov stup što ga bijaše podigao njegov otac.
3 But still he did the same sins which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do; he went on in them.
Ali je prianjao uz grijeh kojim je Jeroboam, sin Nebatov, zavodio Izraela; i nije odstupao od njega.
4 Now Mesha, king of Moab, was a sheep-farmer; and he gave regularly to the king of Israel the wool from a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand sheep.
Meša, kralj moapski, bio je stočar i slao je izraelskom kralju u danak stotinu tisuća janjaca i vunu od stotine tisuća ovnova.
5 But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab got free from the authority of the king of Israel.
Ali kad je umro Ahab, pobuni se kralj moapski protiv izraelskog kralja.
6 At that time, King Jehoram went out from Samaria and got all Israel together in fighting order.
U to je baš vrijeme kralj Joram izišao iz Samarije i izvršio smotru svih Izraelaca.
7 And he sent to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has got free from my authority: will you go with me to make war on Moab? And he said, I will go with you: I am as you are, my people as your people, and my horses as your horses.
Zatim je poručio judejskom kralju Jošafatu: “Moapski se kralj pobunio protiv mene. Hoćeš li sa mnom u rat protiv Moabaca?” Judejski kralj odgovori: “Hoću! Ja kao ti, moj narod kao tvoj narod, moji konji kao i tvoji konji.”
8 And he said, Which way are we to go? And he said in answer, By the waste land of Edom.
I doda: “Kojim ćemo putem?” A drugi mu odgovori: “Kroz Edomsku pustinju.”
9 So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom by a roundabout way for seven days: and there was no water for the army or for the beasts they had with them.
I tako krenu izraelski kralj s judejskim kraljem i s kraljem edomskim. Sedam su dana lutali, a nije bilo vode četama ni stoci koja je išla za njima.
10 And the king of Israel said, Here is trouble: for the Lord has got these three kings together to give them into the hands of Moab.
Tada povika kralj izraelski: “Jao, Jahve je pozvao ova tri kralja da ih preda u ruke Moapcima!”
11 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no prophet of the Lord here, through whom we may get directions from the Lord? And one of the king of Israel's men said in answer, Elisha, the son of Shaphat, is here, who was servant to Elijah.
Ali Jošafat reče: “Nema li tu proroka Jahvina da se preko njega posavjetujemo s Jahvom?” Tada odgovori jedan između slugu izraelskoga kralja: “Ovdje je Elizej, sin Šafatov, koji je lijevao vodu na Ilijine ruke.”
12 And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the Lord is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
Jošafat reče: “U njega je riječ Božja.” I kralj izraelski, kralj judejski i kralj edomski odoše Elizeju.
13 But Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? go to the prophets of your father and your mother. And the king of Israel said, No; for the Lord has got these three kings together to give them up into the hands of Moab.
A Elizej reče kralju izraelskom: “Što ja imam s tobom? Potraži proroke svoga oca i proroke svoje majke!” Izraelski kralj odgovori mu: “Ne! Jer Jahve je pozvao ova tri kralja da ih preda u ruke Moapcima.”
14 Then Elisha said, By the life of the Lord of armies whose servant I am, if it was not for the respect I have for Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, I would not give a look at you, or see you.
Elizej uzvrati: “Tako mi živoga Jahve Sebaota, komu služim, kad ne bih gledao na judejskog kralja Jošafata, ne bih ti obraćao pažnje niti bih te pogledao.
15 But now, get me a player of music, and it will come about that while the man is playing, the hand of the Lord will come on me and I will give you the word of the Lord: and they got a player of music, and while the man was playing, the hand of the Lord was on him.
Sada mi dovedite svirača.” I dok je glazbenik svirao, siđe ruka Jahvina nada nj.
16 And he said, The Lord says, I will make this valley full of water-holes.
I on reče: “Ovako veli Jahve: 'Iskopajte u ovoj dolini mnogo jama.
17 For the Lord says, Though you see no wind or rain, the valley will be full of water, and you and your armies and your beasts will have drink.
Jer ovako veli Jahve: nećete osjetiti vjetra niti ćete vidjeti dažda, a ova će se dolina napuniti vodom. I pit ćete vi, vaš marva i vaša stoka.'
18 And this will be only a small thing to the Lord: in addition he will give the Moabites into your hands.
Ali to još nije ništa u očima Jahve: on će predati Moab u vaše ruke.
19 And you are to put every walled town to destruction, cutting down every good tree, and stopping up every water-spring, and making all the good land rough with stones.
Vi ćete zauzeti sve utvrđene gradove, posjeći sve plodno drveće, zatrpati sve izvore i opustošiti najbolja polja: kamenjem ćete ih zasijati.”
20 Now in the morning, about the time when the offering was made, they saw water flowing from the direction of Edom till the country was full of water.
I doista, ujutro, u vrijeme kad se prinosi žrtva, dođe voda od Edoma i preplavi svu okolinu.
21 Now all Moab, hearing that the kings had come to make war against them, got together all who were able to take up arms and went forward to the edge of the country.
Kad su Moapci čuli da su kraljevi došli s njima ratovati, pozvaše sve koji bijahu sposobni za oružje i postaviše ih na granicu.
22 And early in the morning they got up, when the sun was shining on the water, and they saw the water facing them as red as blood.
Kad su ujutro ustali i kad je sunce granulo nad onom vodom, Moapcima se sa strane voda učini crvenom kao krv.
23 Then they said, This is blood: it is clear that destruction has come on the kings; they have been fighting one another: now come, Moab, let us take their goods.
I rekoše: “To je krv! Zacijelo su se kraljevi međusobno pobili i jedan drugoga pogubili. A sada: na plijen, Moapci!”
24 But when they came to the tents of Israel, the Israelites came out and made a violent attack on the Moabites, so that they went in flight before them; and they went forward still attacking them;
Ali kad su stigli do izraelskog tabora, digoše se Izraelci i potukoše Moapce, tako te ovi pobjegoše pred njima. A Izraelci pojuriše da dotuku Moapce.
25 Pulling down the towns, covering every good field with stones, stopping up all the water-springs, and cutting down all the good trees; they went on driving Moab before them till only in Kir-hareseth were there any Moabites; and the fighting-men went round the town raining stones on it.
Razorili su im gradove, bacali svaki po kamen na najbolje njive da ih zaspu, zatrpali izvore i posjekli sve plodno drveće. Konačno, ostao je samo grad Kir Harešet; praćari su ga opkolili i tukli ga.
26 And when the king of Moab saw that the fight was going against him, he took with him seven hundred men armed with swords, with the idea of forcing a way through to the king of Aram, but they were not able to do so.
Kada je moapski kralj vidio da neće izdržati bitku, uze sa sobom sedam stotina ljudi naoružanih mačevima, pokuša se probiti i doći do kralja edomskog, ali ne uspje.
27 Then he took his oldest son, who would have been king after him, offering him as a burned offering on the wall. So there was great wrath against Israel; and they went away from him, back to their country.
Tada uze svoga sina prvenca, koji ga imaše naslijediti, i prinese ga kao paljenicu na zidu. To se tako silno zgadilo Izraelcima te odoše od njih i vratiše se u svoju zemlju.
