1 Kings 22
1 For three years Aram and Israel were not at war.
Tri je godine vladao mir; nije bilo rata između Aramejaca i Izraela.
2 But in the third year Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, went to visit the king of Israel.
Treće godine Jošafat, kralj judejski, posjeti kralja izraelskoga.
3 The king of Israel had said to his officers, “Aren't you aware that Ramoth-gilead really belongs to us and yet we haven't done anything to take it back from the king of Aram?”
Kralj Izraela reče svojim dvoranima: “Znate li da je Ramot Gilead naš? A mi ne poduzimamo ništa da ga otmemo iz ruke aramejskog kralja.”
4 So he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you join me in an attack to recapture Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, “You and I are as one, my men and your men are as one, and my horses and your horses are as one.”
Zatim reče Jošafatu: “Hoćeš li poći sa mnom na Ramot Gilead?” Jošafat odgovori kralju izraelskom: “Ja sam kao i ti, moj narod kao i tvoj, moji konji što i tvoji.”
5 Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “But first though, please find out what the Lord says.”
Tada Jošafat reče kralju izraelskom: “De posavjetuj se najprije s Jahvom.”
6 So the king of Israel brought out the prophets—four hundred of them—and he asked them, “Should I go up and attack Ramoth-gilead, or should I not?” “Yes, go ahead,” they replied, “for the Lord will hand it over to the king.”
Tada kralj izraelski sakupi oko četiri stotine proroka i upita ih: “Mogu li zavojštiti na Ramot Gilead ili da se okanim toga?” Oni odgovoriše: “Idi, jer će ga Jahve predati kralju u ruke.”
7 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn't there another prophet of the Lord here that we can ask?”
Ali Jošafat upita: “Ima li ovdje još koji prorok Jahvin da i njega upitamo?”
8 “Yes, there's another man who could consult the Lord,” the king of Israel replied, “but I don't like him because he never prophesies anything good for me—it's always bad! His name is Micaiah, son of Imlah.” “You shouldn't talk like that,” said Jehoshaphat.
Kralj izraelski odgovori Jošafatu: “Ima još jedan čovjek preko koga bismo mogli upitati Jahvu, ali ga ne podnosim jer mi ne prorokuje ništa dobro nego samo zlo; to je Mihej, sin Jimlin.” A Jošafat reče: “Neka kralj ne govori tako!”
9 The king of Israel called over one of his officials and told him, “Bring me Micaiah, son of Imlah, right away.”
Tada kralj izraelski dozva jednoga dvoranina i reče mu: “Brže dovedi Jimlina sina Miheja.”
10 Dressed in their royal robes, the king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah, were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor beside the gate of Samaria, with all of the prophets prophesying in front of them.
Izraelski kralj i judejski kralj Jošafat sjedili su svaki na svome prijestolju, u svečanim haljinama pred Samarijskim vratima, a proroci proricali pred njima.
11 One of them, Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, had made himself iron horns. He announced, “This is what the Lord says: ‘With these horns you will gore the Arameans until they're dead!”
Kenaanin sin Sidkija napravi sebi željezne rogove i reče: “Ovako govori Jahve: 'Njima ćeš nabosti sve Aramejce dok ih ne uništiš'.”
12 All the prophets were prophesying the same thing, saying, “Go ahead, attack Ramoth-gilead; you will be successful, for the Lord will hand it over to the king.”
Tako su i svi drugi proroci proricali govoreći: “Idi na Ramot Gilead i uspjet ćeš: Jahve će ga predati kralju u ruke.”
13 The messenger who went to call Micaiah told him, “Look, all the prophets are unanimous in prophesying positively to the king. So please make sure to speak positively like them.”
Glasnik koji bijaše otišao da zove Miheja reče mu: “Eno, svi proroci složno proriču dobro kralju. Govori i ti kao jedan od njih i proreci mu uspjeh!”
14 But Micaiah replied, “As the Lord lives, I can only say what my God tells me.”
Ali Mihej odvrati: “Živoga mi Jahve, govorit ću ono što mi Jahve kaže!”
15 When he came before the king, the king asked him, “Should we go up and attack Ramoth-gilead, or should we not?” “Yes, go ahead and be victorious,” Micaiah replied, “for the Lord will give it into the king's hand.”
Kad dođe pred kralja, upita ga kralj: “Miheju, da pođem u rat na Ramot Gilead ili da se okanim toga?” On odgovori: “Pođi! Uspjet ćeš: Jahve će ga dati u ruke kraljeve.”
16 But the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear to tell me only the truth in the name of the Lord?”
Ali mu kralj reče: “Koliko ću te puta zaklinjati da mi kažeš samo istinu u Jahvino ime?”
17 So Micaiah answered, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains like sheep without a shepherd. The Lord said, ‘These people have no master; let each of them go home in peace.’”
Tada Mihej odgovori: “Sav Izrael vidim rasut po gorama kao stado bez pastira. I Jahve veli: 'Nemaju više gospodara, neka se u miru kući vrate.'”
18 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn't I tell you he never prophesies anything good for me, only bad?”
Tada izraelski kralj reče Jošafatu: “Nisam li ti rekao da mi neće proreći dobro nego zlo!”
19 Micaiah went on to say, “So listen to what the Lord says. I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, surrounded by the whole army of heaven standing to his right and to his left.
A Mihej reče: “Zato čuj riječ Jahvinu: vidio sam Jahvu gdje sjedi na svome prijestolju, a sva mu vojska nebeska stajaše zdesna i slijeva.
20 The Lord asked, ‘Who will trick Ahab, king of Israel, into attacking Ramoth-gilead so he will be killed there?’ One said this, another said that, and another said something else.
Jahve upita: 'Tko će zavesti Ahaba da otiđe i padne u Ramot Gileadu?' Jedan reče ovo, drugi ono.
21 Finally a spirit came and approached the Lord and said, ‘I will trick him.’
Tada uđe jedan duh i stade pred Jahvu. 'Ja ću ga', reče, 'zavesti.' Jahve ga upita: 'Kako?'
22 ‘How are you going to do that?’ the Lord asked. ‘I will go and be a lying spirit and make all his prophets tell lies,’ the spirit replied. ‘That will work,’ the Lord responded. ‘Go and do it.’
On odgovori: 'Izaći ću i bit ću lažljiv duh u ustima svih njegovih proroka.' Jahve reče: 'Ti ćeš ga zavesti. I uspjet ćeš. Idi i učini tako!'
23 As you see, the Lord has put a lying spirit into these prophets of yours, and the Lord has pronounced your death sentence.”
Tako je, evo, Jahve stavio lažljiva duha u usta svih ovih tvojih proroka, ali ti Jahve navješćuje zlo.”
24 Then Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, went and slapped Micaiah in the face, and demanded, “Which way did the Spirit of the Lord go when he left me to speak to you?”
Tada pristupi Kenaanin sin Sidkija i udari Miheja po obrazu pitajući: “Zar je Jahvin duh napustio mene da bi s tobom govorio?”
25 “You'll soon find out when you try and find some secret place to hide!” Micaiah replied.
Mihej odgovori: “Vidjet ćeš onoga dana kad budeš bježao iz sobe u sobu da se sakriješ.”
26 The king of Israel ordered, “Place Micaiah under arrest and take him back to Amon the governor of the city and to my son Joash.
Tada izraelski kralj naredi: “Uhvati Miheja i odvedi ga gradskom zapovjedniku Amonu i kraljeviću Joašu.
27 Tell them these are the king's instructions: ‘Put this man in jail. Give him only bread and water until my safe return.’”
Reci im: Ovako veli kralj: 'Bacite ovoga u tamnicu i držite ga na suhu kruhu i vodi dok se sretno ne vratim.'”
28 “If you do in fact return safely then the Lord has not spoken through me,” Micaiah declared. “Pay attention everyone to all I've said!”
Mihej reče: “Ako se doista sretno vratiš, onda Jahve nije govorio iz mene.” I nadoda: “Čujte, svi puci!”
29 The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, went to attack Ramoth-gilead.
Izraelski kralj i judejski kralj Jošafat krenuše na Ramot Gilead.
30 The king of Israel told Jehoshaphat, “When I go into battle I will be in disguise, but you should wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.
Izraelski kralj reče Jošafatu: “Ja ću se preobući i onda ući u boj, ali ti ostani u svojoj odjeći!” Izraelski se kralj preobuče i pođe u boj.
31 The king of Aram had already given these orders to his chariot commanders: “Head straight for the king of Israel alone. Don't fight with anyone else, whoever they are.”
Aramejski kralj naredi zapovjednicima bojnih kola: “Ne napadajte ni na maloga ni na velikoga, nego jedino na izraelskog kralja!”
32 So when the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they shouted, “This must be the king of Israel!” So they turned to attack him, but when Jehoshaphat called out for help,
Kad zapovjednici bojnih kola ugledaše Jošafata, rekoše: “To je kralj izraelski!” I krenuše u boj prema njemu. A Jošafat povika.
33 the chariot commanders saw it wasn't the king of Israel and stopped chasing him.
A kad zapovjednici bojnih kola vidješe da to nije izraelski kralj, okrenuše se od njega.
34 However, an enemy archer shot an arrow at random, hitting the king of Israel between the joints of his armor by his breastplate. The king told his charioteer, “Turn around and get me out of the fight, because I've been wounded!”
Jedan nasumce odape luk i ustrijeli izraelskog kralja između nabora pojasa i oklopa. Kralj reče vozaču: “Okreni, izvedi me iz boja jer mi nije dobro.”
35 The battle lasted all day. The king of Israel was propped up in his chariot to face the Arameans, but in the evening he died. The blood had poured out of his wound onto the floor of the chariot.
Boj je onoga dana bio sve žešći, ali se kralj držao uspravno na bojnim kolima prema Aramejcima. A navečer umrije. Krv se iz rane izlila u kola.
36 At sunset, a shout went out from the lines: “Retreat! Every man back to his town, every man back to his own country!”
O zalasku sunčevu odjeknu glas taborom: “Svaki u svoj grad i svaki u svoju zemlju!
37 So the king died. He was taken back to Samaria where they buried him.
Kralj je poginuo!” Otišli su u Samariju i pokopali kralja u Samariji.
38 They washed his chariot at a pool in Samaria where the prostitutes came to bathe, and dogs licked up his blood, just as the Lord had said.
Njegova su kola oprali u samarijskom ribnjaku, psi su lizali njegovu krv i bludnice se ondje kupale, po riječi koju je rekao Jahve.
39 The rest of what happened in Ahab's reign, all that he did, the ivory palace he constructed and all the cities he built are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Ostala povijest Ahabova, sve što je učinio, o kući od bjelokosti, o svim gradovima koje je sagradio, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva izraelskih?
40 Ahab died and his son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.
Ahab je počinuo sa svojim ocima, a njegov sin Ahazja zakralji se mjesto njega.
41 Jehoshaphat, son of Asa, became king of Judah in the fourth year of the reign of Ahab, king of Israel.
Jošafat, sin Asin, postade kraljem Judeje četvrte godine kraljevanja Ahaba, kralja izraelskoga.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother's name was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.
Jošafatu bijaše trideset i pet godina kad se zakraljio; kraljevao je dvadeset i pet godina u Jeruzalemu; mati mu se zvala Azuba, a bila je kći Šilhijeva.
43 He followed all the ways of his father; he did not depart from them, and he did what was right in the Lord's sight. However, the high places were not removed and the people still sacrificed and presented offerings there.
Išao je sasvim putem oca Ase, ne skrećući s njega, nego čineći što je pravo u očima Jahvinim. Samo, uzvišice nisu bile uklonjene, narod je još prinosio klanice i kađenice na uzvišicama.
44 Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
Jošafat je bio u miru s izraelskim kraljem.
45 The rest of what happened in Jehoshaphat's reign, his great achievements and the wars he fought are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Ostala povijest Jošafatova, pothvati koje je izveo i kako je vojevao, zar to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva judejskih?
46 He expelled from the land any cult prostitutes who were left from the time of his father Asa.
Istrijebio je iz zemlje preostale bludnice, koje su se održale iz vremena njegova oca Ase.
47 (At that time there was no king in Edom; only a deputy who served as king.)
Nije bilo kralja u Edomu, nego je vladao namjesnik.
48 Jehoshaphat built sea-going ships to go to Ophir for gold, but they went because they were wrecked at Ezion-geber.
Kralj Jošafat sagradi taršiško brodovlje da ide u Ofir po zlato, ali nije otišlo jer se brodovlje razbilo kod Esjon Gebera.
49 During that time Ahaziah, son of Ahab, asked Jehoshaphat, “Let my men sail with your men,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
Tada Ahazja, sin Ahabov, reče Jošafatu: “Neka moje sluge pođu s tvojim slugama na lađama.” Ali Jošafat to ne prihvati.
50 Jehoshaphat died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Jehoram succeeded him as king.
Jošafat počinu sa svojim ocima i sahranjen bi u gradu Davida, svoga praoca. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Joram.
51 Ahaziah, son of Ahab, became king of Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel for two years.
Ahazja, sin Ahabov, postade kraljem Izraela u Samariji sedamnaeste godine Jošafatova kraljevanja Judejom i kraljevao je dvije godine nad Izraelom.
52 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight and followed the ways of his father and mother, and of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin.
On je činio što je zlo u očima Jahvinim i hodio je putem svoga oca i putem svoje majke i putem Jeroboama, sina Nebatova, koji je navodio Izraela na grijeh.
53 He served Baal and worshiped him, and angered the Lord, the God of Israel, just as his father had.
Služio je Baalu i klanjao se pred njim. Srdio je Jahvu, Boga Izraelova, sasvim onako kako je činio njegov otac.
