2 Kings 3
1 And Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; and he reigned twelve years.
Torej Ahábov sin Jehorám je začel kraljevati nad Izraelom, v Samariji, v osemnajstem letu Judovega kralja Józafata in kraljeval je dvanajst let.
2 And he wrought evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not like his father, and like his mother; and he took away the column of Baal that his father had made.
Počel je zlo v Gospodovih očeh, toda ne kakor njegov oče in kakor njegova mati, kajti odstranil je Báalovo podobo, ki jo je naredil njegov oče.
3 Only, he clave to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat who made Israel to sin: he did not depart therefrom.
Kljub temu se je trdno držal grehov Nebátovega sina Jerobeáma, ki je Izraela pripravil, da greši; ni odšel od njih.
4 And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
Moábski kralj Meša je bil lastnik ovc in je Izraelovemu kralju dajal sto tisoč jagnjet in sto tisoč ovnov, [skupaj] z volno.
5 And it came to pass when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Toda pripetilo se je, ko je bil Aháb mrtev, da se je moábski kralj uprl zoper Izraelovega kralja.
6 And at that time king Jehoram went out of Samaria and inspected all Israel.
Kralj Jehorám je istočasno odšel iz Samarije in preštel ves Izrael.
7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
Odšel je in poslal k Judovemu kralju Józafatu, rekoč: »Moábski kralj se je uprl zoper mene. Ali hočeš iti z menoj v bitko zoper Moáb?« Rekel je: »Šel bom gor. Jaz sem, kakor si ti, moje ljudstvo je kakor tvoje ljudstvo in moji konji kakor tvoji konji.«
8 And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he said, By way of the wilderness of Edom.
Rekel je: »Po kateri poti bomo šli gor?« Odgovoril je: »Po poti skozi edómsko divjino.«
9 And the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom, and they made a circuit of seven days' journey. And there was no water for the army, and for the cattle that followed them.
Tako so Izraelov kralj, Judov kralj in edómski kralj odšli in zaokrožili sedemdnevno potovanje in tam ni bilo vode za vojsko in živino, ki jim je sledila.
10 And the king of Israel said, Alas! that Jehovah has called these three kings together, to give them into the hand of Moab!
Kralj Izraela je rekel: »Gorje, da je te tri kralje Gospod poklical skupaj, da jih izroči v roko Moába!«
11 And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah that we may inquire of Jehovah by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.
Toda Józafat je rekel: » Mar ni tukaj Gospodovega preroka, da bi po njem lahko poizvedel od Gospoda?« Eden izmed služabnikov Izraelovega kralja je odgovoril in rekel: »Tukaj je Šafátov sin Elizej, ki je izlival vodo na Elijeve roke.«
12 And Jehoshaphat said, The word of Jehovah is with him. And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
Józafat je rekel: »Z njim je Gospodova beseda.« Tako so Izraelov kralj, Józafat in edómski kralj odšli dol k njemu.
13 And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him, Not so, for Jehovah has called these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.
Elizej je rekel Izraelovemu kralju: »Kaj imam s teboj? Spravi se k prerokom svojega očeta in k prerokom svoje matere.« Izraelov kralj pa mu je rekel: »Ne, kajti Gospod je te tri kralje sklical skupaj, da jih izroči v roko Moába.«
14 And Elisha said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee nor see thee.
Elizej je rekel: » Kakor živi Gospod nad bojevniki, pred katerim stojim, zagotovo, če se ne bi oziral na prisotnost Judovega kralja Józafata, ne bi pogledal proti tebi niti te ne bi videl.
15 And now fetch me a minstrel. And it came to pass when the minstrel played, that the hand of Jehovah was upon him.
Toda sedaj mi privedi glasbenika, ki igra na strune.« In pripetilo se je, ko je glasbenik igral, da je nadenj prišla Gospodova roka.
16 And he said, Thus saith Jehovah: Make this valley full of ditches.
Rekel je: »Tako govori Gospod: ›To dolino naredite polno jarkov.‹
17 For thus saith Jehovah: Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet this valley shall be filled with water, and ye shall drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Ne boste videli vetra niti ne boste videli dežja, vendar bo ta dolina napolnjena z vodo, da boste lahko pili, tako vi, vaše govedo in vaše živali.‹
18 And this is a light thing in the sight of Jehovah: he will give the Moabites also into your hand.
To pa je le majhna stvar v Gospodovih očeh. Tudi Moábce bo izročil v vašo roko.
19 And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
Udarili boste vsako utrjeno mesto in vsako izbrano mesto in posekali vsako dobro drevo in zamašili vse vodnjake in vsak dober kraj dežele oškodovali s kamni.«
20 And it came to pass in the morning, when the oblation was offered up, that behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
Pripetilo se je zjutraj, ko je bila darovana jedilna daritev, glej, da je prišla voda po poti iz Edóma in dežela je bila napolnjena z vodo.
21 And all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, and they were called together, all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood by the border.
Ko so vsi Moábci slišali, da so prišli gor kralji, da se bojujejo zoper njih, so zbrali vse, ki so si bili zmožni nadeti bojno opremo in starejše in so se razpostavili na meji.
22 And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun rose upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side red as blood.
Vstali so zgodaj zjutraj in sonce je sijalo na vodo in Moábci so vodo na drugi strani videli tako rdečo kakor kri.
23 And they said, This is blood: the kings are entirely destroyed, and have smitten one another; and now, Moab, to the spoil!
Rekli so: »To je kri. Kralji so zagotovo umorjeni in so udarili drug drugega. Sedaj torej Moáb, k plenu.«
24 And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, and they fled before them; and they entered in and smote Moab.
Ko pa so prišli k taboru Izraelcev, so se Izraelci dvignili in udarili Moábce, tako da so le-ti pred njimi pobegnili. Toda šli so naprej in pobijali Moábce, celo v njihovi deželi.
25 And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone and filled it, and they stopped every well of water, and felled every good tree, until they left [only] the stones at Kirhareseth; and the slingers went about it, and smote it.
Podirali so mesta in na vsak dober kos dežele je vsak mož vrgel svoj kamen in napolnili so jo in zamašili so vse vodnjake in podrli vsa dobra drevesa, samo v Kir Heresu so pustili njegovo kamenje, vendar so okrog njega šli pračarji in ga udarili.
26 And the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, and he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not.
Ko je moábski kralj videl, da je bila bitka zanj prehuda, je s seboj vzel sedemsto mož, ki so izdirali meče, da se prebijejo k edómskemu kralju. Toda niso mogli.
27 And he took his eldest son, that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him up for a burnt-offering upon the wall. And there was great wrath against Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to [their own] land.
Potem je vzel svojega najstarejšega sina, ki naj bi zakraljeval namesto njega in ga na obzidju daroval v žgalno daritev. In tam je bilo veliko ogorčenje zoper Izrael in odšli so od njega in se vrnili k svoji lastni deželi.
