Chronicles II 18

1 And Josaphat had yet great wealth and glory, and he connected himself by marriage with the house of Achaab.

I Josafat imajuæi veliko blago i slavu oprijatelji se s Ahavom.

2 And he went down after a term of years to Achaab to Samaria: and Achaab killed for him sheep and calves, in abundance, and for the people with him, and he much desired him to go up with him to Ramoth of the country of Galaad.

I poslije nekoliko godina otide k Ahavu u Samariju; i nakla mu Ahav mnogo ovaca i volova i narodu koji bijaše s njim, i nagovaraše ga da poðe na Ramot Galadski.

3 And Achaab king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda, Will you go with me to Ramoth of the country of Galaad? And he said to him, As I [am], so also [are] you, as your people, [so] also [is] my people with you for the war.

I reèe Ahav car Izrailjev Josafatu caru Judinu: hoæeš li iæi sa mnom na Ramot Galadski? A on reèe: ja kao ti, narod moj kao tvoj narod; hoæemo s tobom na vojsku.

4 And Josaphat said to the king of Israel, Seek, I pray you, the Lord today.

Još reèe Josafat caru Izrailjevu: pitaj danas šta æe Gospod reæi.

5 And the king of Israel gathered the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and God shall deliver [it] into the hands of the king.

Tada sazva car Izrailjev proroke svoje, èetiri stotine ljudi, i reèe im: hoæemo li iæi na vojsku na Ramot Galadski, ili æu se okaniti? A oni rekoše: idi, jer æe ga Gospod dati u ruke caru.

6 And Josaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we may enquire of him?

A Josafat reèe: ima li tu još koji prorok Gospodnji da ga pitamo?

7 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, There is yet one man by whom to enquire of the Lord; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy concerning me for good, for all his days [are] for evil: this [is] Michaias the son of Jembla. And Josaphat said, Let not the king say so.

A car reèe Josafatu: ima još jedan èovjek preko kojega bismo mogli upitati Gospoda; ali ja mrzim na nj, jer mi ne prorièe dobra nego svagda zlo; to je Miheja sin Jemlin. A Josafat reèe: neka car ne govori tako.

8 And the king called an eunuch, and said, [Fetch] quickly Michaias the son of Jembla.

Tada car Izrailjev dozva jednoga dvoranina, i reèe mu: brže dovedi Miheju sina Jemlina.

9 And the king of Israel and Josaphat king of Juda were sitting each on his throne, and clothed in their robes, sitting in the open space at the entrance of the gate of Samaria: and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

A car Izrailjev i Josafat car Judin sjeðahu svaki na svom prijestolu obuèeni u carske haljine, sjeðahu na poljani kod vrata Samarijskih, i svi proroci prorokovahu pred njima.

10 And Sedekias son of Chanaan made for himself iron horns, and said, Thus says the Lord, With these you shall thrust Syria until it be consumed.

I Sedekija sin Hananin naèini sebi gvozdene rogove, i reèe: ovako veli Gospod: ovijem æeš biti Sirce dokle ih ne istrijebiš.

11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and you shall prosper; and the Lord shall deliver it into the hands of the king.

Tako i svi proroci prorokovahu govoreæi: idi na Ramot Galadski, i biæeš sreæan, jer æe ga Gospod predati caru u ruke.

12 And the messenger that went to call Michaias spoke to him, saying, Behold, the prophets have spoken favourably concerning the king with one mouth; let now, I pray you, your words be as [the words] of one of them, and do you speak good things.

A poslanik koji otide da dozove Miheju reèe mu govoreæi: evo proroci prorièu svi jednijem glasom dobro caru; neka i tvoja rijeè bude kao njihova, i govori dobro.

13 And Michaias said, [As] the Lord lives, whatever God shall say to me, that will I speak.

A Miheja reèe: tako da je živ Gospod, govoriæu ono što reèe Bog moj.

14 And he came to the king, and the king said to him, Michaias, shall I go up to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go up, and you shall prosper, and they shall be given into your hands.

I kad doðe k caru, reèe mu car: Miheja! hoæemo li iæi na vojsku na Ramot Galadski, ili æu se okaniti? A on reèe: idite, biæete sreæni, i daæe vam se u ruke.

15 And the king said to him, How often shall I solemnly charge you that you speak to me nothing but truth in the name of the Lord?

A car mu reèe: koliko æu te puta zaklinjati da mi ne govoriš nego istinu u ime Gospodnje?

16 And he said, I saw Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep without a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no commander; let each return to his home in peace.

Tada reèe: vidio sam sav narod Izrailjev razasut po planinama kao ovce koje nemaju pastira, jer reèe Gospod: ovi nemaju gospodara, neka se vrate svak svojoj kuæi s mirom.

17 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, Said I not to you, that he would not prophesy concerning me good, but evil?

Tada reèe car Izrailjev Josafatu: nijesam li ti rekao da mi neæe prorokovati dobra nego zlo?

18 But he said, Not so. Hear you the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven stood by on his right hand and on his left.

A Miheja reèe: zato èujte rijeè Gospodnju: vidjeh Gospoda gdje sjedi na prijestolu svom, a sva vojska nebeska stajaše mu s desne i s lijeve strane;

19 And the Lord said, Who will deceive Achaab king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall in Ramoth Galaad? And one spoke this way, and another spoke that way.

I Gospod reèe: ko æe prevariti Ahava cara Izrailjeva da otide i padne kod Ramota Galadskoga? Još reèe: jedan reèe ovo a drugi ono.

20 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will deceive him. And the Lord said, Whereby?

Tada izide jedan duh, i stavši pred Gospoda reèe: ja æu ga prevariti. A Gospod mu reèe: kako?

21 And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And [the Lord] said, You shall deceive [him], and shall prevail: go forth, and do so.

Odgovori: iziæi æu, i biæu lažljiv duh u ustima svijeh proroka njegovijeh. A Gospod mu reèe: prevariæeš ga i nadvladaæeš, idi i uèini tako.

22 And now, behold, the Lord has put a false spirit in the mouth of these your prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil against you.

Zato sada eto, Gospod je metnuo lažljiv duh u usta tijem prorocima tvojim; a Gospod je izrekao zlo po te.

23 Then Sedekias the son of Chanaan drew near, and struck Michaias on the cheek, and said to him, By what way passed the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak to you?

Tada pristupi Sedekija sin Hananin, i udari Miheju po obrazu govoreæi: kojim je putem otišao duh Gospodnji od mene da govori s tobom?

24 And Michaias said, Behold, you shall see in that day, when you shall go from chamber to chamber to hide yourself.

A Miheja mu reèe: eto, vidjeæeš u onaj dan kad otideš u najtajniju klijet da se sakriješ.

25 And the king of Israel said, Take Michaias, and carry him back to Emer the governor of the city, and to Joas the captain, the king's son;

Tada car Izrailjev reèe: uhvatite Miheju, i odvedite ga k Amonu zapovjedniku gradskom i k Joasu sinu carevu.

26 and you shall say, Thus said the king, Put this fellow into the prison house, and let him eat the bread of affliction, and [drink] the water of affliction, until I return in peace.

I recite im: ovako veli car: metnite ovoga u tamnicu, a dajite mu po malo hljeba i po malo vode dokle se ne vratim u miru.

27 And Michaias said, If you do at all return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, all you people.

A Miheja reèe: ako se vratiš u miru, nije Gospod govorio preko mene. Još reèe: èujte svi narodi.

28 So the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, went up to Ramoth Galaad.

I otide car Izrailjev s Josafatom carem Judinijem na Ramot Galadski.

29 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, Disguise me, and I will enter into the battle: and do you put on my raiment. so the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into the battle.

I reèe car Izrailjev Josafatu: ja æu se preobuæi kad poðem u boj, a ti obuci svoje odijelo. I preobuèe se car Izrailjev, i otidoše u boj.

30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight neither against small nor great, but only against the king of Israel.

A car Sirski zapovjedi vojvodama od kola svojih govoreæi: ne udarajte ni na maloga ni na velikoga nego na samoga cara Izrailjeva.

31 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel: and they compassed him about to fight against him: and Josaphat cried out, and the Lord delivered him; and God turned them away from him.

A kad vojvode od kola vidješe Josafata, rekoše: to je car Izrailjev. I okrenuše se na nj da udare. Ali Josafat povika, i Gospod mu pomože, i odvrati ih Bog od njega.

32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned away from him.

Jer vidjevši vojvode od kola da nije car Izrailjev, otstupiše od njega.

33 And a man drew a bow with a good aim, and struck the king of Israel between the lungs and the breast-plate: and he said to the charioteer, Turn your hand, drive me out of the battle, for I am wounded.

A jedan zastrijeli iz luka nagonom i ustrijeli cara Izrailjeva gdje spuèa oklop. A on reèe svojemu vozaèu: savij rukom svojom i izvezi me iz boja, jer sam ranjen.

34 And the battle turned in that day; and the king of Israel remained on the chariot against Syria until evening, and died at sunset.

I boj bi žestok onoga dana, a car Izrailjev zaosta na kolima svojim prema Sircima do veèera, i umrije o sunèanom zahodu.
