2 Kings 10

1 Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And so Jehu wrote letters, and he sent to Samaria, to the nobles of the city, and to those greater by birth, and to those who had raised Ahab’s sons, saying:

A Ahav imaše sedamdeset sinova u Samariji; i Juj napisa knjigu i posla je u Samariju ka glavarima Jezraelskim, starješinama i hraniteljima Ahavovijem, i reèe:

2 “Immediately when you receive these letters, you who have your lord’s sons, and chariots, and horses, and reinforced cities, and weapons,

Kako ova knjiga doðe k vama, u kojih su sinovi gospodara vašega i kola i konji i grad tvrdi i oružje,

3 choose him who is better and who pleases you from among the sons of your lord, and set him on the throne of his father, and fight for the house of your lord.”

Gledajte koji je najbolji i najvještiji izmeðu sinova gospodara vašega, te ga posadite na prijesto oca njegova, i bijte se za dom gospodara svoga.

4 But they were vehemently afraid, and they said: “Behold, two kings were not able to stand before him. So how will we be able to withstand him?”

Ali se oni vrlo uplašiše i rekoše: eto, dva cara ne odolješe mu, a kako æemo mu mi odoljeti?

5 Therefore, those who were in charge of the house, and the prefects of the city, and those greater by birth, and those who raised the sons, sent to Jehu, saying: “We are your servants. Whatever you will order, we will do. But we will not appoint a king for ourselves. Do whatever pleases you.”

I koji bijaše nad domom, i koji bijaše nad gradom, i starješine i hranitelji poslaše k Juju govoreæi: mi smo sluge tvoje, èiniæemo sve što nam kažeš; neæemo nikoga postavljati carem; èini što ti je volja.

6 Then he again wrote letters to them a second time, saying: “If you are mine, and if you obey me, take the heads of the sons of your lord, and come to me at Jezreel at this same hour tomorrow.” Now the sons of the king, being seventy men, were being raised with the nobles of the city.

I on im napisa drugu knjigu govoreæi: ako ste moji i slušate mene, uzmite glave svijeh sinova gospodara svojega i doðite k meni sjutra u ovo doba u Jezrael. A sinovi carevi, sedamdeset ljudi, bijahu kod najznatnijih graðana, koji ih hranjahu.

7 And when the letters had arrived to them, they took the sons of the king, and they killed the seventy men. And they placed their heads in baskets, and they sent these to him at Jezreel.

I kad im doðe ova knjiga, uzeše sinove careve i poklaše, sedamdeset ljudi, i metnuvši glave njihove u kotarice poslaše mu u Jezrael.

8 Then a messenger arrived and reported to him, saying, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.” And he responded, “Place them in two piles, beside the entrance of the gate, until morning.”

I doðe glasnik, koji mu javi govoreæi: donesoše glave sinova carevijeh. A on reèe: složite ih u dvije gomile na vratima, neka stoje do sjutra.

9 And when it had become light, he went out. And standing there, he said to all the people: “You are just. If I have conspired against my lord, and if I have killed him, who has struck down all of these?

A ujutru izašav stade i reèe svemu narodu: vi nijeste krivi; eto, ja se podigoh na gospodara svojega i ubih ga; ali ko pobi sve ove?

10 Now therefore, see that none of the words of the Lord has fallen to the ground, which the Lord spoke over the house of Ahab, and that the Lord has done what he spoke by the hand of his servant Elijah.”

Vidite sada da nije izostala nijedna rijeè Gospodnja koju reèe Gospod za dom Ahavov, nego je Gospod uèinio što je govorio preko sluge svojega Ilije.

11 And so, Jehu struck down all who had remained from the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his nobles and friends and priests, until no remnant of them was left behind.

Potom pobi Juj sve koji bijahu ostali od doma Ahavova u Jezraelu i sve vlastelje njegove i prijatelje njegove i sveštenike njegove, da ne osta nijedan.

12 And he rose up and went to Samaria. And when he had arrived at the shepherds’ cabin along the way,

Potom se podiže i poðe da ide u Samariju; i kad bijaše kod kolibe pastirske na putu,

13 he found the brothers of Ahaziah, the king of Judah, and he said to them, “Who are you?” And they responded, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah, and we are going down to greet the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.”

Naðe Juj braæu Ohozije cara Judina, i reèe: ko ste? Oni rekoše: mi smo braæa Ohozijina i idemo da pozdravimo sinove careve i sinove carièine.

14 And he said, “Take them alive.” And when they had taken them alive, they cut their throats at the cistern beside the cabin, forty-two men. And he did not leave any of them behind.

Tada reèe: pohvatajte ih žive. I pohvataše ih žive i poklaše ih na studencu kod kolibe pastirske, njih èetrdeset, i ne ostavi nijednoga od njih.

15 And when he had gone away from there, he found Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, coming to meet him, and he blessed him. And he said to him, “Is your heart upright, just as my heart is with your heart?” And Jehonadab said, “It is.” Then he said, “If it is, then give me your hand.” He gave his hand to him. And so he lifted him up to himself in the chariot.

Potom otišav odande naðe Jonadava sina Rihavova, koji ga srete. A on ga pozdravi i reèe mu: je li srce tvoje pravo kao što je moje srce prema tvome? A Jonadav odgovori: jest. Ako jest, odgovori Juj, daj mi ruku. I dade mu ruku; a on ga uze k sebi u kola.

16 And he said to him, “Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord.” And he gave him a place in his chariot.

I reèe: hajde sa mnom, i vidi moju revnost za Gospoda. I odvezoše ga na njegovijem kolima.

17 And he led him into Samaria. And he struck down all who were left behind of Ahab in Samaria, even to the last one, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke through Elijah.

I kad doðe u Samariju, pobi sve što bješe ostalo od doma Ahavova u Samariji dokle ga ne istrijebi po rijeèi koju Gospod reèe Iliji.

18 Then Jehu gathered together the entire people. And he said to them: “Ahab worshipped Baal a little, but I will worship him even more.

Potom sabra Juj sav narod i reèe mu: Ahav je malo služio Valu, Juj æe mu služiti više.

19 Now therefore, summon to me all the prophets of Baal, and all his servants, and all his priests. Let no one be permitted not to come, for great is the sacrifice from me to Baal. Whoever will fail to come, he shall not live.” Now Jehu was doing this treacherously, so that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

Zato dozovite mi sve proroke Valove, sve sluge njegove i sve sveštenike njegove, nijedan da ne izostane, jer veliku žrtvu hoæu da prinesem Valu; ko ne doðe, poginuæe. A Juj èinjaše tako iz prijevare hoteæi pobiti sluge Valove.

20 And he said: “Sanctify a day of solemnity for Baal.” And he summoned

I reèe Juj: svetkujte svetkovinu Valu. I oglasiše je.

21 and sent into all the borders of Israel. And all the servants of Baal came. There was left behind not even one who did not arrive. And they entered into the temple of Baal. And the house of Baal was filled, all the way from end to end.

I posla Juj po svemu Izrailju, te doðoše sve sluge Valove, i ne izosta nijedan da ne doðe; i uðoše u kuæu Valovu, i napuni se kuæa Valova od kraja do kraja.

22 And he said to those who were over the vestments, “Bring forth vestments for all the servants of Baal.” And they brought forth vestments for them.

Tada reèe onomu koji bijaše nad riznicom: iznesi haljine svijem slugama Valovijem. I iznese im haljine.

23 And Jehu, upon entering the temple of Baal with Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, said to the worshippers of Baal, “Inquire and see that there is no one with you from the servants of the Lord, but only from the servants of Baal.”

Zatijem uðe Juj s Jonadavom sinom Rihavovijem u kuæu Valovu, i reèe slugama Valovijem: promotrite i vidite da nije tu s vama koji sluga Gospodnji, nego same sluge Valove.

24 Then they entered, so that they might offer victims and holocausts. But Jehu had prepared for himself eighty men outside. And he had said to them, “If anyone escapes from among these men, whom I have led into your hands, your life will take the place of his life.”

I tako uðoše da prinesu prinose i žrtve paljenice, a Juj namjesti napolju osamdeset ljudi, i reèe: ako uteèe koji od ovijeh ljudi koje vam dajem u ruke, duša æe vaša biti za dušu njegovu.

25 Then it happened that, when the holocaust had been completed, Jehu ordered his soldiers and officers, saying: “Enter and strike them down. Let no one escape.” And the soldiers and officers struck them down with the edge of the sword, and they cast them out. And they went into the city of the temple of Baal,

A kad se svrši žrtva paljenica, zapovjedi Juj vojnicima i vojvodama: uðite, pobijte ih, da ne izaðe nijedan. I tako ih pobiše oštrijem maèem i pobacaše ih vojnici i vojvode; potom otidoše u svaki grad gdje bješe kuæa Valova.

26 and they took away the statue from the shrine of Baal, and they burned it up

I izbaciše likove iz kuæe Valove, i spališe ih.

27 and crushed it. They also tore down the temple of Baal, and they made it into a latrine, even to this day.

I izlomiše lik Valov i raskopaše kuæu Valovu, i od nje naèiniše prohode do današnjega dana.

28 And thus did Jehu wipe away Baal from Israel.

Tako Juj istrijebi Vala iz Izrailja.

29 Yet truly, he did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. Neither did he forsake the golden calves, which were in Bethel and Dan.

Ali ne otstupi Juj od grijehova Jerovoama sina Navatova, kojima navede na grijeh Izrailja, od zlatnijeh telaca, koji bijahu u Vetilju i u Danu.

30 Then the Lord said to Jehu: “Since you have diligently carried out what was right and pleasing in my eyes, and since you have accomplished, against the house of Ahab, all that was in my heart, your sons shall sit upon the throne of Israel, even to the fourth generation.”

A Gospod reèe Juju: što si dobro svršio što je pravo preda mnom, i što si uèinio domu Ahavovu sve što mi je bilo u srcu, zato æe sinovi tvoji sjedjeti na prijestolu Izrailjevu do èetvrtoga koljena.

31 But Jehu did not take care, so that he might walk in the law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart. For he did not withdraw from the sins of Jeroboam, who had caused Israel to sin.

Ali Juj ne pažaše da hodi po zakonu Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva svijem srcem svojim, ne otstupi od grijehova Jerovoamovijeh, kojima navede na grijeh Izrailja.

32 In those days, the Lord began to be weary of Israel. And Hazael struck them throughout all the parts of Israel,

U to vrijeme poèe Gospod krnjiti Izrailja, jer ih pobi Azailo po svijem meðama Izrailjevim.

33 from the Jordan opposite the eastern region, in all the land of Gilead, and Gad, and Reuben, and Manasseh, from Aroer, which is above the torrent Arnon, in both Gilead and Bashan.

Od Jordana k istoku sunèanom, svu zemlju Galadsku, Gadovu i Ruvimovu i Manasijinu, od Aroira na potoku Arnonu, i Galad i Vasan.

34 But the rest of the words of Jehu, and all that he did, and his strength, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

A ostala djela Jujeva i sve što je èinio, i sva junaštva njegova, nijesu li zapisana u dnevniku careva Izrailjevijeh?

35 And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz, his son, reigned in his place.

I poèinu Juj kod otaca svojih, i pogreboše ga u Samariji; a na njegovo se mjesto zacari Joahaz sin njegov.

36 Now the days during which Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria, were twenty-eight years.

A carova Juj nad Izrailjem u Samariji dvadeset i osam godina.
