2 Kings 7

1 Then Elisha saide, Heare ye the worde of the Lord: thus saith the Lord, To morowe this time a measure of fine floure shalbe solde for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel in the gate of Samaria.

Potem je Elizej rekel: »Poslušaj besedo od Gospoda: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Jutri okoli tega časa bo v velikih vratih Samarije mera fine moke prodajana za šekel in dve meri ječmena za šekel.‹«

2 Then a prince, on whose hande the King leaned, answered the man of God, and saide, Though the Lord would make windowes in the heauen, could this thing come to passe? And he said, Beholde, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not eate thereof.

Potem je gospod, na čigar roko se je kralj naslanjal, odgovoril Božjemu možu in rekel: »Glej, če bi Gospod naredil okna na nebu, mar bi se to lahko zgodilo?« On pa je rekel: »Glej, to boš videl s svojimi lastnimi očmi, toda od tega ne boš jedel.«

3 Nowe there were foure leprous men at the entring in of the gate: and they saide one to an other, Why sitte we here vntill we die?

Ob vhodu velikih vrat so bili štirje gobavci in drug drugemu so rekli: »Čemu tukaj sedimo, dokler ne umremo?

4 If we say, We will enter into the citie, the famine is in the citie, and we shall die there: and if we sit here, we dye also. Nowe therefore come, and let vs fall into the campe of the Aramites: if they saue our liues, we shall liue: and if they kill vs, we are but dead.

Če rečemo: ›Vstopili bomo v mesto, potem je lakota v mestu in bomo tam umrli. Če pa mirno sedimo tukaj, bomo tudi umrli. Sedaj torej pridite in padimo v vojsko Sircev. Če nas rešijo žive, bomo živeli, če pa nas ubijejo, bomo samo umrli.‹«

5 So they rose vp in the twilight, to goe to the campe of the Aramites: and when they were come to the vtmost part of the campe of the Aramites, loe, there was no man there.

V poltemi so se dvignili, da gredo v tabor Sircev. Ko so prišli k najbolj oddaljenemu delu tabora Sircev, glej, tam ni bilo nobenega moža.

6 For the Lord had caused the campe of the Aramites to heare a noyse of charets and a noise of horses, and a noise of a great armie, so that they sayde one to another, Beholde, the King of Israel hath hired against vs the Kings of the Hittites, and the Kings of the Egyptians to come vpon vs.

Kajti Gospod je vojski Sircev storil, da slišijo hrup bojnih vozov in hrup konjev, celó hrup velike vojske in drug drugemu so rekli: »Glejte, Izraelov kralj je zoper nas najel kralje Hetejcev in kralje Egipčanov, da pridejo nad nas.«

7 Wherefore they arose, and fled in the twilight, and left their tentes and their horses, and their asses, euen the campe as it was, and fledde for their liues.

Zato so vstali in v poltemi zbežali in pustili svoje šotore, svoje konje in svoje osle, celo tabor, kakor je bil in pobegnili za svoje življenje.

8 And when these lepers came to the vtmost part of the campe, they entred into one tent, and did eate and drinke, and caryed thence siluer and golde, and raiment, and went and hid it: after they returned, and entred into another tent, and caryed thence also, and went and hid it.

Ko so ti gobavci prišli k najbolj oddaljenemu delu tabora, so odšli v en šotor in jedli, pili in od tam odnesli srebro, zlato in oblačilo ter odšli in to skrili in ponovno prišli ter vstopili v drug šotor in tudi od tam odnesli in odšli ter to skrili.

9 Then saide one to another, We doe not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we holde our peace. if we tary till day light, some mischiefe will come vpon vs. Nowe therefore, come, let vs goe, and tell the Kings housholde.

Potem so drug drugemu rekli: »Ne delamo dobro. Ta dan je dan dobrih novic, mi pa molčimo. Če nadaljujemo do jutranje svetlobe, bo nad nas prišla neka vragolija. Sedaj torej pridite, da bomo lahko šli in povedali kraljevi družini.«

10 So they came, and called vnto the porters of the citie, and tolde them, saying, We came to the campe of the Aramites, and loe, there was no man there, neither voyce of man, but horses tyed and asses tyed: and the tents are as they were.

Tako so prišli in zaklicali vratarju mesta. Povedali so jim, rekoč: »Prišli smo k taboru Sircev in glejte, tam ni bilo nobenega moža niti človeškega glasu, temveč privezani konji, privezani osli in šotori, kakor so bili.«

11 And the porters cryed and declared to the Kings house within.

Poklical je vratarje in to so povedali znotraj kraljeve hiše.

12 Then the King arose in the night, and saide vnto his seruants, I wil shew you now, what the Aramites haue done vnto vs. They know that we are affamished, therefore they are gone out of the campe to hide them selues in the fielde, saying, When they come out of the citie, we shall catch them aliue, and get into the citie.

Kralj je ponoči vstal in svojim služabnikom rekel: »Sedaj vam bom pokazal, kaj so nam storili Sirci. Vedo, da smo lačni, zato so odšli iz tabora, da se skrijejo na polju, rekoč: ›Ko pridejo iz mesta, jih bomo žive ujeli in pridemo v mesto.‹«

13 And one of his seruants answered, and said, Let me take now fiue of the horses that remaine, and are left in the citie, (behold, they are euen as all the multitude of Israel that are left therein: beholde, I say, they are as the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed) and we wil send to see.

Eden izmed njegovih služabnikov je odgovoril in rekel: »Naj nekateri vzamejo, prosim te, pet izmed konjev, ki so še, ki so ostali v mestu (glej, oni so kakor vsa Izraelova množica, ki je ostala v njem. Glej, pravim, oni so celo kakor vsa množica Izraelcev, ki so použiti) in pošljimo ter poglejmo.«

14 So they tooke two charets of horses, and the King sent after the hoste of the Aramites, saying, Goe and see.

Vzeli so torej dva bojna voza [s] konji in kralj je poslal za sirsko vojsko, rekoč: »Pojdite in poglejte.«

15 And they went after them vnto Iorden, and loe, all the way was full of clothes and vessels which the Aramites had cast from them in their hast: and the messengers returned, and told ye King.

Za njimi so odšli do Jordana in glej, vsa pot je bila polna oblek in posod, ki so jih Sirci v svoji naglici odvrgli. Poslanci so se vrnili in povedali kralju.

16 Then the people went out and spoyled the campe of the Aramites: so a measure of fine floure was at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel according to the word of the Lord.

Ljudstvo je odšlo ven in oplenilo šotore Sircev. Tako je bila mera fine moke prodajana za šekel in dve meri ječmena za šekel, glede na Gospodovo besedo.

17 And the King gaue the prince (on whose hande he leaned) the charge of the gate, and the people trode vpon him in the gate, and he dyed, as the man of God had saide, which spake it, when the King came downe to him.

Kralj je določil gospoda, na čigar roko se je naslanjal, da je zadolžen za velika vrata, ljudstvo pa ga je v velikih vratih pomendralo in je umrl, kakor je rekel Božji mož, ki je govoril, ko je dol k njemu prišel kralj.

18 And it came to passe, as the man of God had spoken to the King, saying, Two measures of barley at a shekel, and a measure of fine floure shall be at a shekel, to morowe about this time in the gate of Samaria.

Pripetilo se je, kakor je Božji mož govoril kralju, rekoč: »Dve meri ječmena za šekel in mera fine moke za šekel bosta jutri okrog tega časa v velikih vratih Samarije.«

19 But the prince had answered the man of God, and saide, Though the Lord would make windowes in the heauen, coulde it come so to passe? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not eate thereof.

Tisti gospod je Božjemu možu odgovoril in rekel: »Sedaj glej, če bi Gospod naredil okna na nebu, mar bi se to lahko zgodilo?« In ta je rekel: »Glej, to boš videl s svojimi lastnimi očmi, toda od tega ne boš jedel.«

20 And so it came vnto him: for the people trode vpon him in the gate, and he dyed.

In tako ga je to doletelo, kajti ljudstvo ga je pomendralo v velikih vratih in je umrl.
