2 Kings 3
1 And Jehoram the son of Achab became king over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, and he reigned twelve years.
Joram, sin Ahabov, zakralji se nad Izraelom u Samariji osamnaeste godine Jošafatova kraljevanja u Judeji. I vladao je dvanaest godina.
2 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord; but not like his father, and like his mother; and he removed the statue of Ba'al which his father had made.
Činio je što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, ali ne kao njegov otac i mati, jer je uklonio Baalov stup što ga bijaše podigao njegov otac.
3 Nevertheless unto the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who had induced Israel to sin, did he cleave: he departed not therefrom.
Ali je prianjao uz grijeh kojim je Jeroboam, sin Nebatov, zavodio Izraela; i nije odstupao od njega.
4 And Mesha' the king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered as tribute unto the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
Meša, kralj moapski, bio je stočar i slao je izraelskom kralju u danak stotinu tisuća janjaca i vunu od stotine tisuća ovnova.
5 And it came to pass, when Achab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Ali kad je umro Ahab, pobuni se kralj moapski protiv izraelskog kralja.
6 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and numbered all Israel.
U to je baš vrijeme kralj Joram izišao iz Samarije i izvršio smotru svih Izraelaca.
7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up, I as thyself, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
Zatim je poručio judejskom kralju Jošafatu: “Moapski se kralj pobunio protiv mene. Hoćeš li sa mnom u rat protiv Moabaca?” Judejski kralj odgovori: “Hoću! Ja kao ti, moj narod kao tvoj narod, moji konji kao i tvoji konji.”
8 And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he said, The way through the wilderness of Edom.
I doda: “Kojim ćemo putem?” A drugi mu odgovori: “Kroz Edomsku pustinju.”
9 So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they took a circuitous route, a seven days' journey; and there was no water for the camp, and for the cattle that followed in their train.
I tako krenu izraelski kralj s judejskim kraljem i s kraljem edomskim. Sedam su dana lutali, a nije bilo vode četama ni stoci koja je išla za njima.
10 And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the Lord hath called these three kings, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!
Tada povika kralj izraelski: “Jao, Jahve je pozvao ova tri kralja da ih preda u ruke Moapcima!”
11 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire of the Lord from him? And there answered one of the king of Israel's servants and said, Here is Elisha' the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.
Ali Jošafat reče: “Nema li tu proroka Jahvina da se preko njega posavjetujemo s Jahvom?” Tada odgovori jedan između slugu izraelskoga kralja: “Ovdje je Elizej, sin Šafatov, koji je lijevao vodu na Ilijine ruke.”
12 And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the Lord is with him. And there went down to him the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom.
Jošafat reče: “U njega je riječ Božja.” I kralj izraelski, kralj judejski i kralj edomski odoše Elizeju.
13 And Elisha' said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Not so; for the Lord hath called these three kings, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
A Elizej reče kralju izraelskom: “Što ja imam s tobom? Potraži proroke svoga oca i proroke svoje majke!” Izraelski kralj odgovori mu: “Ne! Jer Jahve je pozvao ova tri kralja da ih preda u ruke Moapcima.”
14 And Elisha' said, As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I have stood, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.
Elizej uzvrati: “Tako mi živoga Jahve Sebaota, komu služim, kad ne bih gledao na judejskog kralja Jošafata, ne bih ti obraćao pažnje niti bih te pogledao.
15 But now bring me a musician. And it came to pass, when the musician played, that the inspiration of the Lord came upon him.
Sada mi dovedite svirača.” I dok je glazbenik svirao, siđe ruka Jahvina nada nj.
16 And he said, Thus hath said the Lord, Make this valley full of ditches.
I on reče: “Ovako veli Jahve: 'Iskopajte u ovoj dolini mnogo jama.
17 For thus hath said the Lord, Ye shall not perceive wind, nor shall ye see rain; yet this valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, yourselves, and your flocks, and your cattle.
Jer ovako veli Jahve: nećete osjetiti vjetra niti ćete vidjeti dažda, a ova će se dolina napuniti vodom. I pit ćete vi, vaš marva i vaša stoka.'
18 And this is yet too light a thing in the eyes of the Lord; and he will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
Ali to još nije ništa u očima Jahve: on će predati Moab u vaše ruke.
19 And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and every good tree shall ye fell, and all springs of water shall ye stop, and every good piece of land shall ye spoil with stones.
Vi ćete zauzeti sve utvrđene gradove, posjeći sve plodno drveće, zatrpati sve izvore i opustošiti najbolja polja: kamenjem ćete ih zasijati.”
20 And it came to pass in the morning, at the time when the meat-offering is offered, that, behold, there came water by the way from Edom, and the country was filled with the water.
I doista, ujutro, u vrijeme kad se prinosi žrtva, dođe voda od Edoma i preplavi svu okolinu.
21 And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they were called together from every one who was girded with a sword, and upward, and they posted themselves on the border.
Kad su Moapci čuli da su kraljevi došli s njima ratovati, pozvaše sve koji bijahu sposobni za oružje i postaviše ih na granicu.
22 And when they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, the Moabites saw the water at a distance as red as blood.
Kad su ujutro ustali i kad je sunce granulo nad onom vodom, Moapcima se sa strane voda učini crvenom kao krv.
23 And they said, This is blood; the kings have certainly had a contest among themselves, and they have smitten one another: and now, up to the spoil, Moab.
I rekoše: “To je krv! Zacijelo su se kraljevi međusobno pobili i jedan drugoga pogubili. A sada: na plijen, Moapci!”
24 But when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they smote the Moabites completely, even in their own country.
Ali kad su stigli do izraelskog tabora, digoše se Izraelci i potukoše Moapce, tako te ovi pobjegoše pred njima. A Izraelci pojuriše da dotuku Moapce.
25 And the cities they pulled down, and into every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it up, and every spring of water they stopped, and every good tree they felled, until they left only its stones in Kir-chareseth, and this the slingers encompassed and smote it.
Razorili su im gradove, bacali svaki po kamen na najbolje njive da ih zaspu, zatrpali izvore i posjekli sve plodno drveće. Konačno, ostao je samo grad Kir Harešet; praćari su ga opkolili i tukli ga.
26 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too strong for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew the sword, to break through unto the king of Edom; but they could not.
Kada je moapski kralj vidio da neće izdržati bitku, uze sa sobom sedam stotina ljudi naoružanih mačevima, pokuša se probiti i doći do kralja edomskog, ali ne uspje.
27 Then took he his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt-offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their land.
Tada uze svoga sina prvenca, koji ga imaše naslijediti, i prinese ga kao paljenicu na zidu. To se tako silno zgadilo Izraelcima te odoše od njih i vratiše se u svoju zemlju.
