Kings IV 10
1 And Achaab [had] seventy sons in Samaria. And Ju wrote a letter, and sent it into Samaria to the rulers of Samaria, and to the elders, and to the guardians of [the children of] Achaab, saying.
U Samariji bijaše sedamdeset Ahabovih sinova. Jehu napisa pismo i posla ga u Samariju zapovjednicima grada, starješinama i skrbnicima Ahabove djece. Kazivaše u njemu:
2 Now then, as soon as this letter shall have reached you, whereas [there are] with you the sons of your master, and with you chariots and horses, and strong cities, and arms,
“Sada, kad vam stigne ovo pismo - vi, u kojih su sinovi vašeg gospodara, koji imate kola i konje, tvrde gradove i oružje -
3 do you accordingly look out the best and fit amongst your master's sons, and set him on the throne of his father, and fight for the house of your master.
pogledajte koji je između sinova vašeg gospodara najbolji i najdostojniji, pa ga postavite na prijestolje njegova oca i borite se za dom svoga gospodara.”
4 And they feared greatly, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: and how shall we stand?
Ali se oni veoma uplašiše i rekoše: “Eto, dva mu kralja nisu mogla odoljeti, kako ćemo mu mi odoljeti?”
5 So they that were over the house, and they that were over the city, and the elders and the guardians, sent to Ju, saying, We also [are] your servants, and whatever you shall say to us we will do; we will not make [any] man king: we will do that which is right in your eyes.
Upravitelj dvora, zapovjednik grada, starješine i skrbnici poručiše ovo Jehuu: “Mi smo tvoje sluge, činit ćemo sve što nam budeš naredio; kraljem proglašavati nećemo nikoga. Čini što misliš da je dobro.”
6 And Ju wrote them a second letter, saying, If you [are] for me, and listen to my voice, take the heads of the men your master's sons, and bring [them] to me at this time to-morrow in Jezrael. Now the sons of the king were seventy men; these great men of the city brought them up.
Jehu im napisa drugo pismo i u njemu reče: “Ako ste za mene i želite me slušati, uzmite glave ljudi, sinova svoga gospodara, i potražite me sutra u ovo doba u Jizreelu.” Sedamdeset je naime kraljevih sinova bilo kod uglednih građana koji su ih odgajali.
7 And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and killed them, [even] seventy men, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him at Jezrael.
I kad im je stiglo ovo pismo, uzeli su kraljeve sinove i pobili ih svih sedamdeset. Njihove su glave metnuli u košare i poslali su ih njemu u Jizreel.
8 And a messenger came and told [him], saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay them [in] two heaps by the door of the gate until the morning.
Glasnik dođe i javi mu: “Donijeli su glave kraljevih sinova.” On reče: “Stavite ih do sutra kod ulaznih vrata, u dvije hrpe.”
9 And the morning came, and he went forth, and stood, and said to all the people, You are righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and killed him: but who killed all these?
Ujutro iziđe, stade i reče svomu narodu: “Vi ste pravedni! Ja sam se urotio protiv svoga gospodara i ja sam ga ubio, ali tko pobi sve ove?
10 See now that there shall not fall to the ground anything of the word of the Lord which the Lord spoke against the house of Achaab: for the Lord has performed all that he spoke of by the hand of his servant Eliu.
Znajte, dakle, da nije izostala nijedna riječ koju reče Jahve o obitelji Ahabovoj; nego je Jahve izvršio sve što je rekao preko sluge svoga Ilije.”
11 And Ju struck all that were left of the house of Achaab in Jezrael, and all his great men, and his acquaintance, and his priests, so as not to leave him [any] remnant.
I Jehu pobi sve koji su u Jizreelu ostali iz kuće Ahabove, sve velikaše njegove, pouzdanike i svećenike njegove. Nije poštedio nikoga.
12 And he arose and went to Samaria, [and] he [was] in the house of sheep-shearing in the way.
Potom usta Jehu i pođe u Samariju. Kad je bio na cesti kod Bet Ekeda pastirskoga,
13 And Ju found the brethren of Ochozias king of Juda, and said, Who [are] you? And they said, We [are] the brethren of Ochozias, and we have come down to salute the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.
nađe braću judejskog kralja Ahazje te ih upita: “Tko ste?” Oni mu odgovoriše: “Mi smo braća Ahazjina, a silazimo da pozdravimo sinove kraljeve i sinove kraljičine.”
14 And he said, Take them alive. And they killed them at the shearing-house, forty and two men: he left not a man of them.
Tada zapovjedi: “Pohvatajte ih žive!” I žive ih pohvataše i pobiše ih na studencu kod Bet Ekeda, njih četrdeset i dvojicu. Nije ostavio ni jednoga od njih.
15 And he went thence and found Jonadab the son of Rechab [coming] to meet him; and he saluted him, and Ju said to him, Is your heart right with my heart, as my heart [is] with your heart? And Jonadab said, It is. And Ju said, If it is then, give me your hand. And he gave him his hand, and he took him up to him into the chariot.
Otišavši odatle, nađe Jonadaba, sina Rekabova, koji mu je dolazio u susret. On ga pozdravi i reče mu: “Je li tvoje srce iskreno prema mome, kao što je moje prema tvome srcu?” Jonadab odgovori: “Jest.” - “Ako je tako, daj mi ruku.” Jonadab mu pruži ruku i Jehu ga posadi kraj sebe na kola.
16 And he said to him, Come with me, and see me zealous for the Lord. And he caused him to sit in his chariot.
I reče mu: “Hodi sa mnom, divit ćeš se mojoj revnosti za Jahvu.” I odvede ga na svojim kolima.
17 And he entered into Samaria, and struck all that were left of Achaab in Samaria, until he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Eliu.
Ušao je u Samariju i poubijao sve preživjele iz obitelji Ahabove u Samariji. Sve ih je iskorijenio po riječi koju Jahve bijaše rekao Iliji.
18 And Ju gathered all the people, and said to them, Achaab served Baal a little; Ju shall serve him much.
Jehu je sakupio sav narod i rekao mu: “Ahab je malo poštivao Baala; Jehu će ga više poštivati.
19 Now then do all [you] the prophets of Baal call all his servants and his priests to me; let not a man be lacking: for I have a great sacrifice [to offer] to Baal; every one who shall be missing shall die. But Ju did it in subtilty, that he might destroy the servants of Baal.
Sada mi pozovite sve proroke Baalove, sve njegove sluge i sve njegove svećenike, neka ni jedan ne izostane, jer ću žrtvovati veliku žrtvu Baalu. Tko izostane, izgubit će život.” Jehu je radio lukavo, da bi uništio Baalove vjernike.
20 And Ju said, Sanctify a solemn festival to Baal, and they made a proclamation.
Jehu reče: “Sazovite svečani zbor Baalu.” I sazvaše ga.
21 And Ju sent throughout all Israel, saying, Now then let all [Baal's] servants, and all his priests, and all his prophets [come], let none be lacking: for I am going to offer a great sacrifice; whoever shall be missing, shall not live. So all the servants of Baal came, and all his priests, and all his prophets: there was not one left who came not. And they entered into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to the other.
Jehu je nato poslao glasnike po svem Izraelu i došli su svi Baalovi vjernici: nije bilo ni jednoga da bi izostao. Skupili su se u Baalov hram, koji se ispunio od jednoga zida do drugoga.
22 And he said to the man who was over the house of the wardrobe, Bring forth a robe for all the servants of Baal. And the keeper of the robes brought forth to them.
Jehu reče čuvaru haljina: “Iznesi haljine svim Baalovim vjernicima.” I iznese im haljine.
23 And Ju and Jonadab the son of Rechab entered into the house of Baal, and said to the servants of Baal, Search, and see whether there is amongst you any of the servants of the Lord, or only the servants of Baal, by themselves.
Jehu uđe u hram Baalov s Jonadabom, sinom Rekabovim, i reče Baalovim vjernicima: “Provjerite dobro da nema ovdje među vama Jahvina sluge nego samih Baalovih vjernika.”
24 And he went in to offer sacrifices and whole burnt offerings; and Ju set for himself eighty men without, and said, Every man who shall escape of the men whom I bring into your hand, the life of him [that spares him] shall go for his life.
I pođe žrtvovati klanice i paljenice. Ali je Jehu postavio vani osamdeset svojih ljudi i rekao im: “Ako koji od vas pusti da utekne i jedan od ovih ljudi što ih predajem u vaše ruke, svojim će životom platiti njegov život.”
25 And it came to pass, when he had finished offering the whole burnt offering, that Ju said to the footmen and to the officers, Go you in and kill them; let not a man of them escape. So they struck them with the edge of the sword, and the footmen and the officers cast [the bodies] forth, and went to the city of the house of Baal.
Kad je Jehu završio prinos paljenice, naredi tjelesnoj straži i dvoranima: “Uđite, pobijte ih! Nitko neka ne iziđe!” Tjelesna straža i dvorani uđoše, pobiše ih oštricom mača i prodriješe sve do svetišta Baalova hrama.
26 And they brought out the pillar of Baal, and burnt it.
Iznesoše Baalov lik iz hrama i spališe ga.
27 And they tore down the pillars of Baal, and made his house a draught-house until this day.
Raskopaše žrtvenik Baalov, srušiše i hram Baalov i pretvoriše ga u jame za nečist, koje su ostale do danas.
28 So Ju abolished Baal out of Israel.
Tako je Jehu istrijebio Baala iz Izraela.
29 Nevertheless Ju departed not from following the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin: [these were] the golden heifers in Baethel and in Dan.
Ali se Jehu nije okrenuo od grijeha Jeroboama, sina Nebatova, kojima je zavodio Izraela, od zlatnih telaca u Betelu i Danu.
30 And the Lord said to Ju, Because of all your deeds wherein you have acted well in doing that which was right in my eyes, according to all things which you have done to the house of Achaab [as they were] in my heart, your sons to the fourth generation shall sit upon the throne of Israel.
Jahve je rekao Jehuu: “Zato što si dobro izvršio ono što mi je po volji i što si učinio sve što sam nosio u srcu protiv kuće Ahabove, tvoji će sinovi sve do četvrtoga koljena sjediti na prijestolju Izraelovu.”
31 But Ju took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: he departed not from following the sins of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin.
Ali Jehu nije vjerno i svim srcem svojim slijedio zakon Jahve, Boga Izraelova. Nije se odvratio od grijeha kojima je Jeroboam zavodio Izraela.
32 In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short; and Azael struck them in every coast of Israel;
U ono je vrijeme Jahve počeo krnjiti zemlju izraelsku, i Hazael se tukao s Izraelcima na svom području,
33 from Jordan eastward all the land of Galaad belonging to the Gadites, of Gaddi and that of Ruben, and of Manasses, from Aroer, which is on the brink of the brook of Arnon, and Galaad and Basan.
od Jordana prema sunčevu izlasku, u svoj zemlji Gileadu, u zemlji Gadovoj, Rubenovoj i Manašeovoj, sve od Aroera na obali Arnona, do Gileada i Bašana.
34 And the rest of the acts of Ju, and all that he did, and all his might, and the wars wherein he engaged, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Ostala povijest Jehuova, sve što je učinio, sva njegova djela, zar to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva izraelskih?
35 And Ju slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joachaz his son reigned in his stead.
Počinuo je kraj svojih otaca i pokopaše ga u Samariji. Joahaz, sin njegov, zakralji se mjesto njega.
36 And the days which Ju reigned over Israel [were] twenty-eight years in Samaria.
Jehu je vladao u Samariji nad Izraelom dvadeset i osam godina.
