2 Chronicles 18
1 And Jehoshaphat has riches and honor in abundance, and joins affinity to Ahab,
Jošafat je stekao veliko bogatstvo i slavu te se sprijateljio s Ahabom.
2 and goes down at the end of [certain] years to Samaria to [visit] Ahab, and Ahab sacrifices sheep and oxen in abundance for him and for the people who [are] with him, and persuades him to go up to Ramoth-Gilead.
Poslije nekoliko godina došao je k Ahabu u Samariju. Ahab nakla mnogo sitne stoke i goveda njemu i ljudima što su bili s njim i nagovaraše ga da pođe na Ramot Gilead.
3 And Ahab king of Israel says to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Do you go with me [to] Ramoth-Gilead?” And he says to him, “As I—so you, and as your people—my people, and [we go] with you into the battle.”
Izraelski kralj Ahab upita judejskoga kralja Jošafata: “Hoćeš li poći sa mnom na Ramot Gilead?” On odgovori: “Ja sam kao i ti, moj je narod kao i tvoj; s tobom ćemo u rat.”
4 And Jehoshaphat says to the king of Israel, “Please seek the word of YHWH this day.”
Jošafat još reče kralju izraelskom: “De, posavjetuj se prije s Jahvom!”
5 And the king of Israel gathers the prophets, four hundred men, and says to them, “Do we go to Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or do I refrain?” And they say, “Go up, and God gives [it] into the hand of the king.”
Tada kralj izraelski sakupi proroke, njih četiri stotine, i upita ih: “Hoćemo li zavojštiti na Ramot Gilead ili da se okanim toga?” Oni odgovoriše: “Idi, jer će ga Bog predati kralju u ruke.”
6 And Jehoshaphat says, “[Is there] not still a prophet of YHWH here, and we seek from him?”
Ali Jošafat upita: “Ima li ovdje još koji prorok Jahvin da i njega upitamo?”
7 And the king of Israel says to Jehoshaphat, “[There is] still one man to seek YHWH from him, and I have hated him, for he is not prophesying of good concerning me, but of evil [for] all his days, he [is] Micaiah son of Imlah”; and Jehoshaphat says, “Do not let the king say so.”
Kralj izraelski odgovori Jošafatu: “Ima još jedan čovjek preko koga bismo mogli upitati Jahvu, ali ga mrzim jer mi ne proriče dobra nego uvijek samo zlo; to je Mihej, sin Jimlin.” Jošafat reče: “Neka kralj ne govori tako!”
8 And the king of Israel calls to a certain officer and says, “Hurry Micaiah son of Imlah.”
Tada kralj izraelski dozva jednoga dvoranina i reče mu: “Brže dovedi Jimlina sina Miheja!”
9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah are sitting, each on his throne, clothed with garments, and they are sitting in a threshing-floor at the opening of the Gate of Samaria, and all the prophets are prophesying before them.
Izraelski kralj i judejski kralj Jošafat sjedili su svaki na svojem prijestolju, u svečanim haljinama, na gumnu pred Samarijskim vratima, a proroci proricali pred njima.
10 And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah makes horns of iron for himself and says, “Thus said YHWH:
Kenaanin sin Sidkija napravi sebi željezne rogove i reče: “Ovako veli Jahve: njima ćeš bosti Aramejce dokle ih god ne zatreš.”
11 With these you push Aram until you have consumed them.” And all the prophets are prophesying so, saying, “Go up [to] Ramath-Gilead and prosper, and YHWH has given [it] into the hand of the king.”
Tako su i svi drugi proroci proricali govoreći: “Idi na Ramot Gilead, uspjet ćeš: Jahve će ga predati kralju u ruke.”
12 And the messenger who has gone to call for Micaiah has spoken to him, saying, “Behold, the words of the prophets [as] one mouth [are] good toward the king, and please let your word be like one of theirs: and you have spoken good.”
Glasnik koji bijaše otišao da zove Miheja reče mu: “Evo, svi proroci složno proriču dobro kralju. Govori i ti kao jedan od njih i proreci uspjeh!”
13 And Micaiah says “YHWH lives, surely that which my God says, I speak it.”
Ali Mihej odvrati: “Živoga mi Jahve, govorit ću ono što mi Bog kaže!”
14 And he comes to the king, and the king says to him, “Micaiah, do we go to Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or do I refrain?” And he says, “Go up, and prosper, and they are given into your hand.”
Kad dođe pred kralja, upita ga kralj: “Miheju, da pođem u rat na Ramot Gilead ili da se okanim toga?” On odgovori: “Idite i uspjet ćete, jer će vam se predati u ruke!”
15 And the king says to him, “How many times am I adjuring you that you speak to me only truth in the Name of YHWH?”
Na to mu kralj reče: “Koliko ću te puta zaklinjati da mi kažeš samo istinu u Jahvino ime?”
16 And he says, “I have seen all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd, and YHWH says, There are no masters for these, they each return to his house in peace.”
Tada Mihej odgovori: “Sav Izrael vidim rasut po gorama kao stado bez pastira. I Jahve veli: 'Nemaju više gospodara, neka se u miru kući vrate!'”
17 And the king of Israel says to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not say to you [that] he does not prophesy good concerning me, but rather of evil?”
Tada izraelski kralj reče Jošafatu: “Nisam li ti rekao da mi neće proreći dobro nego zlo?”
18 And [Micaiah] says, “Therefore, hear a word of YHWH: I have seen YHWH sitting on His throne, and all the host of the heavens standing on His right and His left;
A Mihej reče: “Zato čujte riječ Jahvinu. Vidio sam Jahvu gdje sjedi na prijestolju, a sva mu vojska nebeska stajaše zdesna i slijeva.
19 and YHWH says, Who entices Ahab king of Israel, and he goes up and falls in Ramoth-Gilead? And this speaker says thus, and that speaker thus.
Jahve upita: 'Tko će zavesti izraelskoga kralja Ahaba da otiđe i padne u Ramot Gileadu?' Jedan reče ovo, drugi ono.
20 And the spirit goes out, and stands before YHWH, and says, I entice him; and YHWH says to him, With what?
Tada uđe jedan duh, stade pred Jahvu i reče: 'Ja ću ga zavesti!' Jahve ga upita: 'Kako?'
21 And he says, I go out, and have become a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets. And He says, You entice, and also, you are able; go out and do so.
On odvrati: 'Izaći ću i bit ću lažljiv duh u ustima svih njegovih proroka.' Jahve mu reče: 'Ti ćeš ga zavesti. I uspjet ćeš. Idi i učini tako!'
22 And now, behold, YHWH has put a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and YHWH has spoken calamity concerning you.”
Tako je, evo, Jahve stavio lažljiva duha u usta tvojim prorocima; ali ti Jahve navješćuje zlo.”
23 And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah comes near and strikes Micaiah on the cheek, and says, “Where [is] this—the way the spirit [from] YHWH passed over from me to speak with you?”
Tada pristupi Kenaanin sin Sidkija i udari Miheja po obrazu pitajući: “Zar je Jahvin duh mene napustio da bi govorio s tobom?”
24 And Micaiah says, “Behold, you see in that day that you enter into the innermost chamber to be hidden.”
Mihej odvrati: “Vidjet ćeš onoga dana kad budeš bježao iz sobe u sobu da se sakriješ.”
25 And the king of Israel says, “Take Micaiah, and turn him back to Amon head of the city, and to Joash son of the king,
Tada izraelski kralj naredi: “Uhvatite Miheja i odvedite ga gradskom zapovjedniku Amonu i kraljeviću Joašu.
26 and you have said, Thus said the king: Put this [one] in the house of restraint, and cause him to eat bread of oppression, and water of oppression, until my return in peace.”
Recite im: 'Ovako veli kralj: Bacite ovoga u tamnicu i držite ga na suhu kruhu i vodi dok se sretno ne vratim.'”
27 And Micaiah says, “If you certainly return in peace, YHWH has not spoken by me”; and he says, “Hear, O peoples, all of them!”
Mihej reče: “Ako se doista sretno vratiš, onda nije Jahve govorio iz mene!” i nadoda: “Čujte, svi puci!”
28 And the king of Israel goes up—and Jehoshaphat king of Judah—to Ramoth-Gilead;
Izraelski kralj i judejski kralj Jošafat krenuše na Ramot Gilead.
29 and the king of Israel says to Jehoshaphat to disguise himself, and to go into battle, “And you, put on your garments.” And the king of Israel disguises himself, and they go into battle.
Izraelski kralj reče Jošafatu: “Ja ću se preobući i onda ući u boj, a ti ostani u svojoj odjeći!” Preobuče se tada izraelski kralj i oni krenuše u boj.
30 And the king of Aram has commanded the heads of the charioteers whom he has, saying, “You do not fight with small or with great, except with the king of Israel by himself.”
Aramejski kralj naredi zapovjednicima bojnih kola: “Ne udarajte ni na maloga ni na velikoga nego jedino na izraelskoga kralja!”
31 And it comes to pass at the heads of the charioteers seeing Jehoshaphat, that they have said, “He is the king of Israel,” and they turn around against him to fight, and Jehoshaphat cries out, and YHWH has helped him, and God entices them from him;
Kad zapovjednici bojnih kola ugledaše Jošafata, rekoše: “To je izraelski kralj!” I krenuše na nj da udare. Ali Jošafat povika za pomoć te mu Jahve pomože i odvrati ih od njega.
32 indeed, it comes to pass, at the heads of the charioteers seeing that it has not been the king of Israel—they turn back from after him.
Kad zapovjednici bojnih kola vidješe da to nije izraelski kralj, okrenuše se od njega.
33 And a man has drawn with a bow in his simplicity, and strikes the king of Israel between the joinings and the coat of mail, and he says to the charioteer, “Turn your hand, and you have brought me out of the camp, for I have become [gravely] sick.”
Jedan nasumce odape i ustrijeli izraelskoga kralja između nabora na pojasu i oklopa. Kralj reče vozaču: “Potegni uzdu i izvedi me iz boja jer sam ranjen.”
34 And the battle increases on that day, and the king of Israel has been propped up in the chariot in front of Aram until the evening, and he dies at the time of the going in of the sun.
Boj je onoga dana bio sve žešći, ali se izraelski kralj držao uspravno na bojnim kolima prema Aramejcima sve do večeri. Umro je o zalasku sunca.
