2 Kings 8

1 Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had given back to life, Go now, with all the people of your house, and get a living-place for yourselves wherever you are able; for by the word of the Lord, there will be great need of food in the land; and this will go on for seven years.

Potem je Elizej spregovoril ženski, katerega sina je obudil v življenje, rekoč: »Vstani in pojdi, ti in tvoja družina in začasno prebivaj kjerkoli lahko prebivaš, kajti Gospod je poklical lakoto in ta bo tudi prišla nad deželo [za] sedem let.«

2 So the woman got up and did as the man of God said; and she and the people of her house were living in the land of the Philistines for seven years.

Ženska je vstala in storila po besedi Božjega moža in šla s svojo družino in sedem let začasno prebivala v filistejski deželi.

3 And when the seven years were ended, the woman came back from the land of the Philistines and went to the king with a request for her house and her land.

Ob koncu sedmih let se je pripetilo, da se je ženska vrnila iz filistejske dežele in šla naprej, da kliče h kralju za svojo hišo in za svoje polje.

4 Now the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Now, give me an account of all the great things Elisha has done.

Kralj je govoril z Gehazíjem, služabnikom Božjega moža, rekoč: »Povej mi, prosim te, vse velike stvari, ki jih je storil Elizej.«

5 And while he was giving the king the story of how Elisha had given life to the dead, the woman whose son had come back to life came to the king with a request for her house and her land. And Gehazi said, My lord king, this is the woman and this is her son, whose life Elisha gave back to him.

Pripetilo se je, medtem ko je kralju pripovedoval, kako je truplo oživil v življenje, glej, da je ženska, čigar sina je oživil v življenje, klicala h kralju za svojo hišo in svoje polje. Gehazí je rekel: »Moj gospod, oh kralj, to je ženska in to je njen sin, ki ga je Elizej oživil v življenje.«

6 And in answer to the king's questions, the woman gave him all the story. So the king gave orders to one of his unsexed servants, saying, Give her back all her property, and all the produce of her fields from the day when she went away from the land up till now.

Ko je kralj žensko vprašal, mu je povedala. Tako ji je kralj določil nekega častnika, rekoč: »Povrni vse, kar je bilo njeno in vse sadove polja, od dneva, ko je zapustila deželo, celo do sedaj.«

7 And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, was ill; and they said to him, The man of God has come.

Elizej je prišel v Damask in sirski kralj Ben Hadád je bil bolan in povedano mu je bilo, rekoč: »Božji mož je prišel sèm.«

8 Then the king said to Hazael, Take an offering with you, and go to see the man of God and get directions from the Lord by him, saying, Am I going to get better from my disease?

Kralj je rekel Hazaélu: »V svojo roko vzemi darilo in pojdi, srečaj Božjega moža in pri njem poizvedi od Gospoda, rekoč: ›Ali bom okreval od te bolezni?‹«

9 So Hazael went to see him, taking with him forty camels with offerings on their backs of every sort of good thing from Damascus; and when he came before him, he said, Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you, saying, Will I get better from this disease?

Tako je Hazaél odšel, da ga sreča in s seboj vzel darilo, celo vsako dobro stvar iz Damaska, breme za štirideset kamel in prišel, obstal pred njim ter rekel: »Tvoj sin, sirski kralj Ben Hadád, me je poslal k tebi, rekoč: ›Ali bom okreval od te bolezni?‹«

10 And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, You will certainly get better; but the Lord has made it clear to me that only death is before him.

Elizej mu je rekel: »Pojdi, reci mu: ›Ti zagotovo lahko okrevaš, ‹ vendar mi je Gospod pokazal, da bo zagotovo umrl.«

11 And he kept his eyes fixed on him till he was shamed, and the man of God was overcome with weeping.

Trdno je naravnal svoje obličje, dokler ni pobledel in Božji mož je zajokal.

12 And Hazael said, Why is my lord weeping? Then he said in answer, Because I see the evil which you will do to the children of Israel: burning down their strong towns, putting their young men to death with the sword, smashing their little ones against the stones, and cutting open the women who are with child.

Hazaél je rekel: »Zakaj joka moj gospod?« In ta je odgovoril: »Ker poznam zlo, ki ga boš storil Izraelovim otrokom. Njihova oporišča boš požgal, njihove mladeniče boš pobil z mečem, raztreščil njihove otroke in razparal njihove nosečnice.«

13 And Hazael said, How is it possible that your servant, who is only a dog, will do this great thing? And Elisha said, The Lord has made it clear to me that you will be king over Aram.

Hazaél je rekel: »Toda ali je tvoj služabnik pes, da bi storil to veliko stvar?« Elizej je odgovoril: » Gospod mi je pokazal, da boš postal kralj nad Sirijo.«

14 Then he went away from Elisha and came in to his master, who said to him, What did Elisha say to you? And his answer was, He said that you would certainly get well.

Tako je odšel od Elizeja in prišel k svojemu gospodarju, ki mu je rekel: »Kaj ti je Elizej povedal?« Odgovoril je: »Povedal mi je, da boš zagotovo okreval.«

15 Now on the day after, Hazael took the bed-cover, and making it wet with water, put it over Ben-hadad's face, causing his death: and Hazael became king in his place.

Naslednji dan pa se je pripetilo, da je vzel debelo cunjo, jo namočil v vodi in jo razprostrl na njegov obraz, tako da je umrl in namesto njega je zakraljeval Hazaél.

16 In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became king.

V petem letu Joráma, sina Izraelovega kralja Ahába, takrat je bil Józafat Judov kralj, je začel kraljevati Jehorám, sin Judovega kralja Józafata.

17 He was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.

Dvaintrideset let je bil star, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval osem let.

18 He went in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the family of Ahab did: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.

Hodil je po poti Izraelovih kraljev, kakor je počela Ahábova hiša, kajti Ahábova hči je bila njegova žena. Počel je zlo v Gospodovih očeh.

19 But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on Judah, because of David his servant, to whom he had given his word that he would have a light for ever.

Vendar Gospod ni hotel uničiti Juda zaradi svojega služabnika Davida, kakor mu je obljubil, da bo vedno dal svetlobo njemu in njegovim otrokom.

20 In his time, Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, and took a king for themselves.

V njegovih dneh se je Edóm spuntal izpod Judove roke in si nad seboj postavil kralja.

21 Then Joram went over to Zair, with all his war-carriages; ... made an attack by night on the Edomites, whose forces were all round him, ... the captains of the war-carriages; and the people went in flight to their tents.

Tako je Jorám odšel v Caír in vsi njegovi bojni vozovi z njim in vstal je ponoči in udaril Edómce, ki so ga obdali naokoli in poveljnike bojnih vozov. In ljudstvo je pobegnilo v svoje šotore.

22 So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah to this day. And at the same time, Libnah made itself free.

Vendar se je Edóm spuntal izpod Judove roke do današnjega dne. Potem se je ob istem času spuntala Libna.

23 Now the rest of the acts of Joram, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

Ostala Jorámova dela in vse, kar je storil, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Judovih kraljev?

24 And Joram went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David: and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.

Jorám je zaspal s svojimi očeti in je bil s svojimi očeti pokopan v Davidovem mestu in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Ahazjá.

25 In the twelfth year that Joram, the son of Ahab, was king of Israel, Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, became king;

V dvanajstem letu Joráma, sina Izraelovega kralja Ahába, je začel kraljevati Ahazjá, sin Judovega kralja Jehoráma.

26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, king of Israel.

Ahazjá je bil star dvaindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval eno leto. Ime njegove matere je bilo Ataljá, hči Izraelovega kralja Omrija.

27 He went in the ways of the family of Ahab, and did evil in the eyes of the Lord as the family of Ahab did, for he was a son-in-law of the family of Ahab.

Hodil je po poti Ahábove hiše in počel zlo v Gospodovih očeh, kakor je počela Ahábova hiša, kajti bil je zet Ahabove hiše.

28 He went with Joram, the son of Ahab, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the Aramaeans.

Z Ahábovim sinom Jorámom je odšel na vojno zoper sirskega kralja Hazaéla v Ramót Gileád in Sirci so ranili Joráma.

29 So King Joram went back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which the bowmen had given him at Ramah, when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram, the son of Ahab, in Jezreel, because he was ill.

Kralj Jorám je odšel nazaj, da bi bil v Jezreélu ozdravljen ran, ki so mu jih zadali Sirci pri Rami, ko se je boril zoper sirskega kralja Hazaéla. In Ahazjá, sin Judovega kralja Jehoráma, je odšel dol, da pogleda Ahábovega sina Joráma v Jezreélu, ker je bil bolan.
