1 Kings 19
1 Now Ahab tolde Iezebel all that Eliiah had done, and how he had slaine all the prophets with the sword.
Aháb je Jezabeli povedal vse, kar je storil Elija in poleg tega, kako je z mečem umoril vse preroke.
2 Then Iezebel sent a messenger vnto Eliiah, saying, The gods doe so to me and more also, if I make not thy life like one of their liues by to morowe this time.
Potem je Jezabela k Eliju poslala poslanca, rekoč: »Tako naj mi storijo bogovi in tudi več, če ne bom jutri okrog tega časa naredila tvojega življenja kakor življenja enega izmed teh.«
3 When he sawe that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which is in Iudah, and left his seruant there.
Ko je to videl, je vstal in hodil za svoje življenje in prišel v Beeršébo, ki pripada Judu in tam pustil svojega služabnika.
4 But he went a dayes iourney into the wildernesse, and came and sate downe vnder a iuniper tree, and desired that he might die, and sayde, It is now ynough: O Lord, take my soule, for I am no better then my fathers.
Toda on sam je odšel pot enega dne v divjino in prišel ter se usedel pod brinovo drevo. In zase je zahteval, da bi lahko umrl in rekel: »Dovolj je. Sedaj, oh Gospod, vzemi moje življenje, kajti nisem boljši kakor moji očetje.«
5 And as he lay and slept vnder the iuniper tree, behold now, an Angel touched him, and said vnto him, Vp, and eate.
Ko se je ulegel in pod brinovim drevesom zaspal, glej, takrat se ga je dotaknil angel in mu rekel: »Vstani in jej.«
6 And when he looked about, behold, there was a cake baken on the coles, and a pot of water at his head: so he did eate and drinke, and returned and slept.
Pogledal je in glej, tam je bil kolač, pečen na ogorkih in vrč vode pri njegovi glavi. Jedel je in pil ter ponovno legel.
7 And the Angel of the Lord came againe the second time, and touched him, and sayd, Vp, and eate: for thou hast a great iourney.
Gospodov angel je ponovno prišel, drugič, se ga dotaknil in rekel: »Vstani in jej, kajti potovanje je preveliko zate.«
8 Then he arose, and did eate and drinke, and walked in the strength of that meate fourtie dayes and fourtie nights, vnto Horeb the mount of God.
Vstal je, jedel, pil in hodil v moči te hrane štirideset dni in štirideset noči do Božje gore Horeb.
9 And there he entred into a caue, and lodged there: and beholde, the Lord spake to him, and said vnto him, What doest thou here, Eliiah?
In prišel tja v votlino ter tam prenočil. Glej, k njemu je prišla beseda od Gospoda in on mu je rekel: »Kaj delaš tukaj, Elija?«
10 And he answered, I haue bene very ielous for the Lord God of hostes: for the children of Israel haue forsaken thy couenant, broken downe thine altars, and slayne thy Prophets with the sword, and I onely am left, and they seeke my life to take it away.
Rekel je: »Bil sem zelo goreč za Gospoda, Boga nad bojevniki, kajti Izraelovi otroci so zapustili tvojo zavezo, zrušili tvoje oltarje in z mečem pomorili tvoje preroke, in jaz, celó samo jaz sem ostal in strežejo mi po življenju, da bi mi ga vzeli.«
11 And he saide, Come out, and stand vpon the mount before the Lord. And beholde, the Lord went by, and a mightie strong winde rent the mountaines, and brake the rockes before the Lord: but the Lord was not in the winde: and after the wind came an earthquake: but the Lord was not in the earthquake:
In on je rekel: »Pojdi naprej in stoj na gori pred Gospodom.« Glej, Gospod je šel mimo in velik, močan veter je trgal gore in skale drobil na koščke pred Gospodom, toda Gospoda ni bilo v vetru. In za vetrom potres, toda Gospoda ni bilo v potresu.
12 And after the earthquake came fire: but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire came a still and soft voyce.
In za potresom ogenj, toda Gospod ni bil v ognju. In za ognjem tih, majhen glas.
13 And when Eliiah heard it, he couered his face with his mantel, and went out, and stoode in the entring in of ye caue: and behold, there came a voyce vnto him, and sayd, What doest thou here, Eliiah?
Bilo je tako, ko je Elija to slišal, da je svoj obraz zavil v svoje ogrinjalo in odšel ven in stal na vhodu votline. Glej, tam je prišel k njemu glas in rekel: »Kaj delaš tukaj, Elija?«
14 And he answered, I haue bene very ielous for the Lord God of hostes, because the children of Israel haue forsaken thy couenant, cast downe thine altars, and slayne thy Prophets with the sworde, and I onely am left, and they seeke my life to take it away.
Rekel je: »Bil sem zelo goreč za Gospoda, Boga nad bojevniki, ker so Izraelovi otroci zapustili tvojo zavezo, zrušili tvoje oltarje in z mečem pomorili tvoje preroke. Jaz, celó samo jaz sem ostal in strežejo mi po življenju, da bi mi ga vzeli.«
15 And the Lord said vnto him, Goe, returne by the wildernes vnto Damascus, and when thou commest there, anoint Hazael King ouer Aram.
Gospod mu je rekel: »Pojdi, vrni se po svoji poti k divjini Damaska in ko prideš, mazili Hazaéla, da postane kralj nad Sirijo.
16 And Iehu the sonne of Nimshi shalt thou anoynt King ouer Israel: and Elisha the sonne of Shaphat of Abel Meholah shalt thou anoynt to be Prophet in thy roume.
Nimšíjevega sina Jehúja pa boš mazilil, da bo kralj nad Izraelom. Šafátovega sina Elizeja, iz Abél Mehóle, pa boš mazili, da bo prerok namesto tebe.
17 And him that escapeth from the sworde of Hazael, shall Iehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Iehu, shall Elisha slay.
Zgodilo se bo, da tisti, ki pobegne Hazaélovemu meču, ga bo ubil Jehú. Tistega, ki pobegne pred Jehújevim mečem, pa bo ubil Elizej.
18 Yet wil I leaue seuen thousand in Israel, euen all the knees that haue not bowed vnto Baal, and euery mouth that hath not kissed him.
Vendar sem si jih pustil v Izraelu sedem tisoč, vsa kolena, ki se niso upognila Báalu in vsaka usta, ki ga niso poljubila.«
19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the sonne of Shaphat who was plowing with twelue yoke of oxen before him, and was with the twelft: and Eliiah went towards him, and cast his mantel vpon him.
Tako je odpotoval od tam in našel Šafátovega sina Elizeja, ki je oral z dvanajstimi volovskimi jarmi pred seboj in on je bil z dvanajstim. Elija je šel mimo njega in svoje ogrinjalo vrgel nanj.
20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Eliiah, and sayde, Let mee, I pray thee, kisse my father and my mother, and then I wil follow thee. Who answered him, Go, returne: for what haue I done to thee?
Ta je pustil vole in stekel za Elijem ter rekel: »Pusti me, prosim te, poljubiti svojega očeta in svojo mater in potem ti bom sledil.« Rekel mu je: »Pojdi ponovno nazaj, kajti kaj sem ti storil?«
21 And when he went backe againe from him, he tooke a couple of oxen, and slewe them, and sod their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gaue vnto the people, and they did eate: then he arose and went after Eliiah, and ministred vnto him.
Vrnil se je nazaj od njega, vzel volovski jarem, jih usmrtil in njihovo meso skuhal z volovskimi pripravami in dal ljudstvu in so jedli. Potem je vstal, odšel za Elijem in mu služil.
