< Kings IV 7 >
1 And Elisaie said, Hear you the word of the Lord; Thus says the Lord, As at this time, to-morrow a measure of fine flour [shall be sold] for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gates of Samaria.
Тада рече Јелисије: Чујте реч Господњу: Тако вели Господ: Сутра ће у ово доба бити мера белог брашна за сикал а две мере јечма за сикал на вратима самаријским.
2 And the officer on whose hand the king rested, answered Elisaie, and said, Behold, [if] the Lord shall make flood-gates in heaven, might this thing be? and Elisaie said, Behold, you shall see with your eyes, but shall not eat thereof.
А војвода на ког се руку цар наслањаше, одговори човеку Божијем и рече: Да Господ начини окна на небу, би ли могло то бити? А Јелисије рече: Ето, ти ћеш видети својим очима, али га нећеш јести.
3 And there were four leprous men by the gate of the city: and one said to his neighbor, Why sit we here until we die?
А беху на вратима четири човека губава, и рекоше један другом: Што седимо овде да умремо?
4 If we should say, Let us go into the city, then [there is] famine in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit here, then we shall die. Now then come, and let us fall upon the camp of the Syrians: if they should take us alive, then we shall live; and if they should put us to death, then we shall [only] die.
Да кажемо: Да уђемо у град, глад је у граду, те ћемо умрети онде: а да останемо овде, опет ћемо умрети; него хајде да ускочимо у логор сирски: ако нас оставе у животу, остаћемо у животу, ако ли нас погубе, погинућемо.
5 And they rose up while it was yet night, to go into the camp of Syria; and they came into a part of the camp of Syria, and behold, there [was] no man there.
И тако, уставши у сумрак пођоше у логор сирски, и дођоше до краја логора сирског, и гле, не беше никога.
6 For the Lord had made the army of Syria to hear a sound of chariots, and a sound of horses, [even] the sound of a great host: and [each] man said to his fellow, Now has the king of Israel hired against us the kings of the Chettites, and the kings of Egypt, to come against us.
Јер Господ учини те се у логору сирском чу лупа кола и коња и велике војске, те рекоше један другом: Ето цар је Израиљев најмио на нас цареве хетејске и цареве мисирске да ударе на нас.
7 And they arose and fled while it was yet dark, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses in the camp, as they were, and fled for their lives.
Те се подигоше и побегоше по мраку оставивши шаторе своје и коње своје и магарце своје и логор као што је био, и побегоше ради душа својих.
8 And these lepers entered a little way into the camp, and went into one tent, and ate and drank, and took thence silver, and gold, and raiment; and they went and returned thence, and entered into another tent, and took thence, and went and hid [the spoil].
Па кад дођоше губавци на крај логора, уђоше у један шатор, и наједоше се и напише се, и покупише из њега сребро и злато и хаљине, и отидоше те сакрише. Па се вратише и уђоше у други шатор, па покупише и из њега, и отидоше те сакрише.
9 And [one] man said to his neighbor, We are not doing [well] thus: this day is a day of glad tidings, and we hold our peace, and are waiting till the morning light, and shall find mischief: now them come, and let us go into [the city], and report to the house of the king.
Тада рекоше међу собом: Не радимо добро; овај је дан дан добрих гласова; а ми ћутимо. Ако ушчекамо до зоре, стигнуће нас безакоње. Зато сада хајде да идемо и јавимо дому царевом.
10 So they went and cried toward the gate of the city, and reported to them, saying, We went into the camp of Syria, and, behold, there is not there a man, nor voice of man, only horses tied and asses, and their tents as they were.
И тако дошавши дозваше вратара градског и казаше му говорећи: Идосмо у логор сирски, и гле, нема никога, ни гласа човечијег; него коњи повезани и магарци повезани, и шатори како су били.
11 And the porters cried aloud, and reported to the house of the king within.
А он дозва остале вратаре, и јавише у дом царев.
12 And the king rose up by night, and said to his servants, I will now tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They knew that we are hungry; and they have gone forth from the camp and hidden themselves in the field, saying, They will come out of the city, and we shall catch them alive, and go into the city.
А цар уставши по ноћи рече слугама својим: Казаћу вам сада шта су нам учинили Сирци. Знају да гладујемо, зато отидоше из логора да се сакрију у пољу говорећи: Кад изиђу из града, похватаћемо их живе и ући ћемо у град.
13 And one of his servants answered and said, Let them now take five of the horses that were left, which were left here; behold, they are the number left to all the multitude of Israel; and we will send there and see.
А један од слуга његових одговори и рече: Да узмемо пет осталих коња што још има у граду; гле, то је све што је остало од мноштва коња израиљских; то је све што није изгинуло од мноштва коња израиљских; да пошаљемо да видимо.
14 So they took two horsemen; and the king of Israel sent after the king of Syria, saying, Go, and see.
И узеше два коња колска, које посла цар за војском сирском, говорећи: Идите и видите.
15 And they went after them even to Jordan: and, behold, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their panic. and the messengers returned, and brought word to the king.
И отидоше за њима до Јордана, и гле, по свему путу беше пуно хаљина и судова, које побацаше Сирци у хитњи. Тада се вратише посланици и јавише цару.
16 And the people went out, and plundered the camp of Syria: and a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord, and two measures of barley for a shekel.
Тада изађе народ и разграби логор сирски; и беше мера белог брашна за сикал, и две мере јечма за сикал, по речи Господњој.
17 And the king appointed the officer on whose hand the king leaned [to have charge] over the gate: and the people trampled on him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God [had] said, who spoke when the messenger came down to him.
И цар постави на врата оног војводу, на ког се руку наслањаше, а народ га изгази на вратима, те умре, по речи човека Божијег, коју рече кад цар к њему дође.
18 So it came to pass as Elisaie had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley [shall be sold] for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel; and it shall be as at this time to-morrow in the gate of Samaria.
Јер кад човек Божји рече цару: Две мере јечма за сикал и мера белог брашна за сикал биће сутра у ово доба на вратима самаријским,
19 And the officer answered Elisaie, and said, Behold, [if] the Lord makes flood-gates in heaven, shall this thing be? and Elisaie said, Behold, you shall see [it] with your eyes, but you shall not eat thereof.
А онај војвода одговори човеку Божијем говорећи: Да Господ начини окна на небу, би ли могло бити шта кажеш? А Јелисије рече: Ти ћеш видети својим очима, али га нећеш јести.
20 And it was so: for the people trampled on him in the gate, and he died.
И зби му се то, јер га изгази народ на вратима, те умре.
