< 1 Kings 19 >

1 And Ahab declares to Jezebel all that Elijah did, and all of how he slew all the prophets by the sword,
Ahab ispriča Izebeli sve što je Ilija učinio i kako je mačem poubijao sve proroke.
2 and Jezebel sends a messenger to Elijah, saying, “Thus the gods do, and thus do they add—surely about this time tomorrow, I make your life as the life of one of them.”
Tada Izebela posla Iliji glasnika s porukom: “Neka mi bogovi učine sva zla i neka nadodadu, ako sutra u ovo doba ne učinim s tvojim životom kao što si ti učinio sa životom svakoga od njih!”
3 And he fears, and rises, and goes for his life, and comes to Beer-Sheba, that [is] Judah’s, and leaves his young man there,
On se uplaši, ustade i ode da bi spasio život. Došao je u Beer Šebu, koja je u Judeji, i otpustio ondje svoga momka.
4 and he himself has gone a day’s journey into the wilderness, and comes and sits under a certain broom tree, and desires his soul to die, and says, “Enough, now, O YHWH, take my soul, for I [am] not better than my fathers.”
A sam ode dan hoda u pustinju; sjede ondje pod smreku, zaželje umrijeti i reče: “Već mi je svega dosta, Jahve! Uzmi dušu moju, jer nisam bolji od otaca svojih.”
5 And he lies down and sleeps under a certain broom tree, and behold, a messenger is reaching toward him and says to him, “Rise, eat”;
Zatim leže i zaspa. Ali gle, anđeo ga taknu i reče mu: “Ustani i jedi.”
6 and he looks attentively, and behold, at his bolster [is] a cake [on] burning stones, and a dish of water, and he eats, and drinks, and turns, and lies down.
On pogleda, kad gle - kraj njegova uzglavlja na kamenu pečen kruh i vrč vode. Jeo je i pio, pa opet legao.
7 And the messenger of YHWH turns back a second time, and is reaching toward him, and says, “Rise, eat, for the way is too great for you”;
Ali se anđeo Jahvin javi i drugi put, dotače ga i reče: “Ustani i jedi, jer je pred tobom dalek put!”
8 and he rises, and eats, and drinks, and goes in the power of that food [for] forty days and forty nights, to the mountain of God—Horeb.
Ustao je, jeo i pio. Okrijepljen tom hranom, išao je četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći sve do Božje gore Horeba.
9 And he comes in there, to the cave, and lodges there, and behold, the word of YHWH [is] to him, and says to him, “What are you [doing] here, Elijah?”
Ondje je ušao u neku spilju i prenoćio u njoj. I gle, eto k njemu riječi Jahvine: “Što ćeš ti ovdje, Ilija?”
10 And he says, “I have been very zealous for YHWH, God of Hosts, for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant—they have thrown down Your altars, and they have slain Your prophets by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, and they seek my life—to take it.”
On odgovori: “Revnovao sam gorljivo za Jahvu, Boga nad vojskama, jer su sinovi Izraelovi napustili tvoj Savez, srušili tvoje žrtvenike i pobili mačem tvoje proroke. Ostao sam sam, a oni traže da i meni uzmu život.”
11 And He says, “Go out, and you have stood on the mountain before YHWH.” And behold, YHWH is passing by, and a wind—great and strong—is tearing mountains, and shattering rocks before YHWH, [but] YHWH [is] not in the wind; and after the wind [is] a shaking, [but] YHWH [is] not in the shaking;
Glas mu reče: “Iziđi i stani u gori pred Jahvom. Evo Jahve upravo prolazi.” Pred Jahvom je bio silan vihor, tako snažan da je drobio brda i lomio hridi, ali Jahve nije bio u olujnom vihoru; poslije olujnog vihora bio je potres, ali Jahve nije bio u potresu;
12 and after the shaking [is] a fire, [but] YHWH [is] not in the fire; and after the fire [is] a voice [like] a small whisper;
a poslije potresa bio je oganj, ali Jahve nije bio u ognju; poslije ognja šapat laganog i blagog lahora.
13 and it comes to pass, at Elijah’s hearing [it], that he wraps his face in his robe, and goes out, and stands at the opening of the cave, and behold, a voice [speaks] to him, and it says, “What are you [doing] here, Elijah?”
Kad je to čuo Ilija, zakri lice plaštem, iziđe i stade na ulazu u pećinu. Tada mu progovori glas i reče: “Što ćeš ovdje, Ilija?”
14 And he says, “I have been very zealous for YHWH, God of Hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, they have thrown down Your altars, and they have slain Your prophets by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, and they seek my life—to take it.”
On odgovori: “Revnovao sam veoma gorljivo za Jahvu nad vojskama, jer su sinovi Izraelovi napustili tvoj Savez, srušili tvoje žrtvenike i mačem poubijali tvoje proroke. Ostadoh sam, a oni traže da i meni oduzmu život.”
15 And YHWH says to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus, and you have gone in, and anointed Hazael for king over Aram,
Jahve mu reče: “Idi, vrati se istim putem u damaščansku pustinju. Kad dođeš, pomaži ondje Hazaela za kralja aramskog.
16 and you anoint Jehu son of Nimshi for king over Israel, and you anoint Elisha son of Shaphat, of Abel-Meholah, for prophet in your stead.
Pomaži Jehuu, sina Nimsijeva, za kralja izraelskoga i pomaži Elizeja, sina Šafatova, iz Abel Mehole, za proroka namjesto sebe.
17 And it has been, he who has escaped from the sword of Hazael, Jehu puts to death, and he who has escaped from the sword of Jehu, Elisha puts to death;
Koji utekne od mača Hazaelova, njega će pogubiti Jehu; a tko utekne od Jehuova mača, njega će pogubiti Elizej.
18 and I have left in Israel seven thousand—all the knees that have not bowed to Ba‘al, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
Ali ću ostaviti u Izraelu sedam tisuća, sve koljena koja se nisu savila pred Baalom i sva usta koja ga nisu cjelivala.”
19 And he goes there, and finds Elisha son of Shaphat, and he is plowing; twelve yoke [are] before him, and he [is] with the twelfth; and Elijah passes over to him, and casts his robe at him,
Ode on i na povratku naiđe na Elizeja, sina Šafatova, gdje ore: pred njim dvanaest jarmova, sam bijaše kod dvanaestoga. Ilija prođe kraj njega i baci na nj svoj plašt.
20 and he forsakes the ox, and runs after Elijah, and says, “Please let me give a kiss to my father and to my mother, and I go after you.” And he says to him, “Go, turn back, for what have I done to you?”
On ostavi volove, potrča za Ilijom i reče: “Dopusti mi da zagrlim svoga oca i majku, pa ću poći za tobom.” Ilija mu odgovori: “Idi, vrati se, jer što sam ti učinio?”
21 And he turns back from after him, and takes the yoke of the ox, and sacrifices it, and with [the] instruments of the ox he has boiled its flesh, and gives to the people, and they eat, and he rises, and goes after Elijah, and serves him.
On ga ostavi, uze jaram volova i žrtvova ih. Volujskim jarmom skuha meso i dade ga ljudima da jedu. Zatim ustade i pođe za Ilijom da ga poslužuje.
