Kings IV 3
1 And Joram the son of Achaab began to reign in Israel in the eighteenth year of Josaphat king of Juda, and he reigned twelve years.
Joram, sin Ahabov, zakralji se nad Izraelom u Samariji osamnaeste godine Jošafatova kraljevanja u Judeji. I vladao je dvanaest godina.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, only not as his father, nor as his mother: and he removed the pillars 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 Only he adhered to the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin; he departed not from it.
Ali je prianjao uz grijeh kojim je Jeroboam, sin Nebatov, zavodio Izraela; i nije odstupao od njega.
4 And Mosa king of Moab was a sheep-master, and he rendered to the king of Israel in the beginning [of the year], a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
Meša, kralj moapski, bio je stočar i slao je izraelskom kralju u danak stotinu tisuća janjaca i vunu od stotine tisuća ovnova.
5 And it came to pass, after the death of Achaab, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Ali kad je umro Ahab, pobuni se kralj moapski protiv izraelskog kralja.
6 And king Joram went forth in that day out of Samaria, and numbered Israel.
U to je baš vrijeme kralj Joram izišao iz Samarije i izvršio smotru svih Izraelaca.
7 And he went and sent to Josaphat king of Juda, saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me: will you go with me against Moab to war? And he said, I will go up: you are as I, I am as you; as my people, so [is] your people, as my horses, so [are] 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, What way shall I go up? and he said, The way of the wilderness of Edom.
I doda: “Kojim ćemo putem?” A drugi mu odgovori: “Kroz Edomsku pustinju.”
9 And the king of Israel went, and the king of Juda, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey; and there was no water for the army, and for the cattle that went 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, Alas! that the Lord should have called the three kings on their way, to give them into the hand of Moab.
Tada povika kralj izraelski: “Jao, Jahve je pozvao ova tri kralja da ih preda u ruke Moapcima!”
11 And Josaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may enquire of the Lord by him? And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered and said, [There is] here Elisaie son of Saphat, who poured water on the hands of Eliu.
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 Josaphat said, He has the word of the Lord. And the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, 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 And Elisaie said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? go to the prophets of your father, and the prophets of your mother. And the king of Israel said to him, Has the Lord called the three kings to deliver them 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 And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord of hosts before whom I stand lives, unless I regarded the presence of Josaphat the king of Juda, I would not have looked on you, nor seen 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 And now fetch me a harper. And it came to pass, as the harper harped, that the hand of the Lord came upon him.
Sada mi dovedite svirača.” I dok je glazbenik svirao, siđe ruka Jahvina nada nj.
16 And he said, Thus says the Lord, Make this valley full of trenches.
I on reče: “Ovako veli Jahve: 'Iskopajte u ovoj dolini mnogo jama.
17 For thus says the Lord, You shall not see wind, neither shall you see rain, yet this valley shall be filled with water, and you, and your flocks, and your cattle shall 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 [is] a light [thing] in the eyes of the Lord: I will also deliver Moab into your hand.
Ali to još nije ništa u očima Jahve: on će predati Moab u vaše ruke.
19 And you shall strike every strong city, and you shall cut down every good tree, and you shall stop all wells of water, and spoil every good piece [of land] with stones.
Vi ćete zauzeti sve utvrđene gradove, posjeći sve plodno drveće, zatrpati sve izvore i opustošiti najbolja polja: kamenjem ćete ih zasijati.”
20 And it came to pass in the morning, when the sacrifice was offered, that, behold! waters came from the way of Edom, and the land was filled with water.
I doista, ujutro, u vrijeme kad se prinosi žrtva, dođe voda od Edoma i preplavi svu okolinu.
21 And all Moab heard that the three kings were come up to fight against them; and they cried out on every [side, even] all that were girded with a girdle, and they said, Ho! and stood upon the border.
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 they rose early in the morning, and the sun rose upon the waters, and Moab saw the waters on the opposite side 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 And they said, This [is] the blood of the sword; and the kings have fought, and each man has struck his neighbour; now then to the spoils, Moab.
I rekoše: “To je krv! Zacijelo su se kraljevi međusobno pobili i jedan drugoga pogubili. A sada: na plijen, Moapci!”
24 And they entered into the camp of Israel; and Israel arose and struck Moab, and they fled from before them; and they went on and struck Moab as they went.
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 And they razed the cities, and cast every man his stone on every good piece [of land] and filled it; and they stopped every well, and cut down every good tree, until they left [only] the stones of the wall cast down; and the slingers compassed [the land], and struck 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 the king of Moab saw that the battle prevailed against him; and he took with him seven hundred men that drew sword, to cut through to the king of Edom: and they could not.
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 And he took his oldest son whom he had designed to reign in his stead, and offered him up for a whole burnt offering on the walls. And there was a great indignation against Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to their land.
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.
