2 Kings 6
1 And the children of the Prophets saide vnto Elisha, Behold, we pray thee, the place where we dwell with thee, is too litle for vs.
Proročki sinovi rekoše Elizeju: “Gle, tijesan nam je prostor u tebe.
2 Let vs nowe goe to Iorden, that we may take thence euery man a beame, and make vs a place to dwell in. And he answered, Goe.
Nego da odemo do Jordana, pa da svaki ondje uzmemo po brvno i načinimo sebi ondje prebivalište.” On odgovori: “Idite.”
3 And one said, Vouchsafe, I pray thee, to go with thy seruants, and he answered, I will goe.
Jedan od njih reče mu: “Udostoj se poći sa svojim slugama.” On odgovori: “Hoću.”
4 So he went with them, and when they came to Iorden, they cut downe wood.
I pođe s njima. Kad su stigli do Jordana, uzeše sjeći drva.
5 And as one was felling of a tree, the yron fell into the water: then he cryed, and said, Alas master, it was but borowed.
A dok je jedan od njih tesao gredu, pade mu sjekira u vodu i on povika: “Jao, gospodaru! I još je bila posuđena!”
6 And the man of God saide, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. Then he cut downe a piece of wood, and cast in thither, and he caused the yron to swimme.
A čovjek Božji upita ga: “Gdje je pala?” Onaj mu pokaza mjesto. Tada on odsiječe komad drveta, baci ga na ono mjesto i učini da sjekira ispliva.
7 Then he saide, Take it vp to thee. And he stretched out his hand, and tooke it.
I reče: “Izvadi je!” I čovjek pruži ruku te je uze.
8 Then the King of Aram warred against Israel, and tooke counsell with his seruants, and said, In such and such a place shalbe my campe.
Aramejski kralj bio u ratu s Izraelom. Posavjetovao se sa svojim časnicima i rekao: “Podignite šatore na tom mjestu.”
9 Therefore the man of God sent vnto the King of Israel, saying, Beware thou goe not ouer to such a place: for there the Aramites are come downe.
Ali Elizej poruči izraelskom kralju: “Čuvaj se onoga mjesta jer su se Aramejci ondje utaborili.”
10 So the King of Israel sent to the place which the man of God tolde him, and warned him of, and saued himselfe from thence, not once, nor twise.
I kralj izraelski upozori ljude na mjesto za koje mu je rekao čovjek Božji. On je upozoravao i kralj se čuvao; a bilo je to više puta.
11 And the heart of the King of Aram was troubled for this thing: therefore he called his seruants and saide vnto them, Will ye not shewe me, which of vs bewrayeth our counsel to the king of Israel?
Srce aramejskog kralja uznemiri se zbog toga, pa on pozva svoje časnike te ih upita: “Nećete li mi reći tko od naših drži s kraljem Izraelovim?”
12 Then one of his seruants saide, None, my lorde, O King, but Elisha the Prophet that is in Israel, telleth the King of Israel, euen the wordes that thou speakest in thy priuie chamber.
Jedan od časnika odgovori: “Ne, gospodaru kralju; Elizej, prorok Izraelov, otkriva izraelskom kralju riječi koje kazuješ u svojoj spavaonici.”
13 And he said, Goe, and espie where he is, that I may sende and fetch him. And one tolde him, saying, Beholde, he is in Dothan.
On reče: “Idite i pogledajte gdje je, pa ću već poslati da ga uhvate.” I javiše mu: “Eno ga u Dotanu.”
14 So he sent thither horses, and charets, and a mightie hoste: and they came by night, and compassed the citie.
Tada kralj posla onamo konje, kola i jake čete. Oni stigoše noću i opkoliše grad.
15 And when the seruant of the man of God arose earely to goe out, beholde, an hoste compassed the citie with horses and charets. Then his seruant sayde vnto him, Alas master, howe shall we doe?
Ujutro, ustavši, čovjek Božji iziđe, a to oko grada stoji vojska s konjima i kolima! Njegov mu momak reče: “Ah, gospodaru moj, što nam je činiti?”
16 And he answered, Feare not: for they that be with vs, are moe then they that be with them.
A on odgovori: “Ne boj se jer ih ima više s nama nego s njima.”
17 Then Elisha prayed, and saide, Lord, I beseech thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the seruant, and he looked, and beholde, the mountaine was full of horses and charets of fyre round about Elisha.
I Elizej se pomoli ovako: “Jahve, otvori mu oči da vidi!” I Jahve otvori oči momku i on vidje: gora oko Elizeja sva prekrivena ognjenim konjima i kolima!
18 So they came downe to him, but Elisha prayed vnto the Lord, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindnesse. And he smote them with blindnes, according to the worde of Elisha.
Kad su Aramejci sišli prema njemu, Elizej se ovako pomoli Jahvi: “Udari sljepoćom ove ljude!” I na riječ Elizejevu udari ih sljepoćom.
19 And Elisha said vnto them, This is not the way, neither is this the citie: follow me, and I will leade you to the man whome ye seeke. But he ledde them to Samaria.
Elizej im reče: “Nije ovo put i nije ovo grad. Pođite za mnom, ja ću vas odvesti čovjeku koga tražite.” Ali ih odvede u Samariju.
20 And when they were come to Samaria, Elisha saide, Lord, open their eyes that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw, and beholde, they were in the mids of Samaria.
Kad su ulazili u Samariju, Elizej reče: “Jahve, otvori ovima oči da progledaju.” Jahve im otvori oči i oni vidješe da su usred Samarije!
21 And the King of Israel sayde vnto Elisha when he sawe them, My father, shall I smite them, shall I smite them?
Kad ih vidje kralj Izraela, reče Elizeju: “Treba li ih poubijati, oče moj?”
22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: doest thou not smite them that thou hast taken with thy sworde, and with thy bowe? but set bread and water before them, that they may eate and drinke and goe to their master.
A on odgovori: “Nemoj ih ubiti. Zar ćeš ubiti one koje nisi zarobio svojim lukom i mačem? Ponudi im kruha i vode; neka jedu i piju i neka se vrate svome gospodaru.”
23 And he made great preparation for them: and when they had eaten and drunken, he sent them away: and they went to their master. So ye bands of Aram came no more into the land of Israel.
Kralj im priredi veliku gozbu. Pošto su jeli i pili, otpusti ih. I vratiše se svome gospodaru. I tako aramejski pljačkaši nisu više zalazili na izraelsko tlo.
24 But afterward Ben-hadad King of Aram gathered all his hoste, and went vp, and besieged Samaria.
Dogodi se poslije toga te aramejski kralj Ben-Hadad skupi svu svoju vojsku i uzađe i opkoli Samariju.
25 So there was a great famine in Samaria: for loe, they besieged it vntill an asses head was at foure score pieces of siluer, and the fourth part of a kab of doues doung at fiue pieces of siluer.
I nasta velika glad u Samariji, a opsada potraja toliko da je magareća glava stajala osamdeset šekela srebra, a četvrt kaba golubinje nečisti pet šekela srebra.
26 And as the King of Israel was going vpon the wall, there cryed a woman vnto him, saying, Helpe, my lord, O King.
Kada je kralj prolazio po zidinama, neka mu žena vikne: “Pomozi, gospodaru kralju!”
27 And he said, Seeing the Lord doeth not succour thee, howe shoulde I helpe thee with the barne, or with the wine presse?
On odgovori: “Neka ti pomogne Jahve! Kako ću ti ja pomoći? Nečim s gumna ili iz tijeska?”
28 Also the King said vnto her, What ayleth thee? And she answered, This woman sayde vnto me, Giue thy sonne, that we may eate him to day, and we will eate my sonne to morowe,
Još joj kralj reče: “Što ti je?” Ona odgovori: “Ova mi je žena rekla: 'Daj svoga sina da ga pojedemo danas, a sutra ćemo pojesti moga!'
29 So we sod my sonne, and did eate him: and I saide to her the day after, Giue thy sonne, that we may eate him, but she hath hid her sonne.
Skuhale smo moga sina i pojele ga. A sutradan rekoh joj: 'Daj svoga sina da ga pojedemo.' Ali je ona sakrila svoga sina.”
30 And when the King had heard the wordes of the woman, he rent his clothes, (and as he went vpon the wall, the people looked, and behold, he had sackecloth within vpon his flesh)
Kada je kralj čuo riječi te žene, razdrije na sebi haljine. I kad je išao po zidinama, narod vidje da mu je na tijelu kostrijet.
31 And he saide, God doe so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha the sonne of Shaphat shall stande on him this day.
I reče tada kralj: “Neka mi Bog učini ovo zlo i doda drugo ako glava Elizeja, sina Šafatova, ostane danas na njegovim ramenima!”
32 (Nowe Elisha sate in his house, and the Elders sate with him.) And the King sent a man before him: but before the messenger came to him, he saide to the Elders, See ye not howe this murtherers sonne hath sent to take away mine head? take heede when the messenger commeth, and shut the doore and handle him roughly at the doore: is not the sounde of his masters feete behinde him?
Elizej sjedio u svojoj kući i starješine sjedile s njim. Kralj je ispred sebe poslao glasnika, ali Elizej reče starješinama, prije nego što je glasnik stigao do njega: “Vidite li da je onaj krvnički sin naredio da mi skinu glavu? Pazite: kada glasnik stigne, zatvorite vrata i odbijte ga od vrata. Ne čuje li se topot koraka njegova gospodara za njim?”
33 While he yet talked with them, beholde, the messenger came downe vnto him, and saide, Behold, this euill commeth of the Lord: should I attende on the Lord any longer?
Dok im je još govorio, kralj stupi preda nj i reče mu: “Ova je nevolja, gle, od Jahve! Što da još očekujem od Jahve?”
