2 Kings 10
1 And Ahab has seventy sons in Samaria, and Jehu writes letters, and sends [them] to Samaria, to the heads of Jezreel, the elderly, and to those supporting Ahab, saying,
U Samariji bijaše sedamdeset Ahabovih sinova. Jehu napisa pismo i posla ga u Samariju zapovjednicima grada, starješinama i skrbnicima Ahabove djece. Kazivaše u njemu:
2 “And now, at the coming in of this letter to you, and sons of your lord [are] with you, and the chariots and the horses, and a fortified city, and the armor, [are] with you,
“Sada, kad vam stigne ovo pismo - vi, u kojih su sinovi vašeg gospodara, koji imate kola i konje, tvrde gradove i oružje -
3 that you have seen the best and the most upright of the sons of your lord, and have set [him] on the throne of his father, and fight for the house of your lord.”
pogledajte koji je između sinova vašeg gospodara najbolji i najdostojniji, pa ga postavite na prijestolje njegova oca i borite se za dom svoga gospodara.”
4 And they fear very greatly, and say, “Behold, the two kings have not stood before him, and how do we stand—we?”
Ali se oni veoma uplašiše i rekoše: “Eto, dva mu kralja nisu mogla odoljeti, kako ćemo mu mi odoljeti?”
5 And he who [is] over the house, and he who [is] over the city, and the elderly, and those supporting, send to Jehu, saying, “We [are] your servants, and all that you say to us we do; we do not make anyone king—do that which [is] good in your eyes.”
Upravitelj dvora, zapovjednik grada, starješine i skrbnici poručiše ovo Jehuu: “Mi smo tvoje sluge, činit ćemo sve što nam budeš naredio; kraljem proglašavati nećemo nikoga. Čini što misliš da je dobro.”
6 And he writes a letter to them a second time, saying, “If you [are] for me, and are listening to my voice, take the heads of the men—the sons of your lord, and come to me about this time tomorrow, to Jezreel”; and the sons of the king [are] seventy men, with the great ones of the city—those bringing them up.
Jehu im napisa drugo pismo i u njemu reče: “Ako ste za mene i želite me slušati, uzmite glave ljudi, sinova svoga gospodara, i potražite me sutra u ovo doba u Jizreelu.” Sedamdeset je naime kraljevih sinova bilo kod uglednih građana koji su ih odgajali.
7 And it comes to pass, at the coming in of the letter to them, that they take the sons of the king, and slaughter seventy men, and put their heads in baskets, and send [them] to him at Jezreel,
I kad im je stiglo ovo pismo, uzeli su kraljeve sinove i pobili ih svih sedamdeset. Njihove su glave metnuli u košare i poslali su ih njemu u Jizreel.
8 and the messenger comes in, and declares [it] to him, saying, “They have brought in the heads of the sons of the king,” and he says, “Make them two heaps at the opening of the gate until the morning.”
Glasnik dođe i javi mu: “Donijeli su glave kraljevih sinova.” On reče: “Stavite ih do sutra kod ulaznih vrata, u dvije hrpe.”
9 And it comes to pass in the morning, that he goes out, and stands, and says to all the people, “You are righteous; behold, I have conspired against my lord, and slay him—and who struck all these?
Ujutro iziđe, stade i reče svomu narodu: “Vi ste pravedni! Ja sam se urotio protiv svoga gospodara i ja sam ga ubio, ali tko pobi sve ove?
10 Now you know that nothing falls of the word of YHWH to the earth that YHWH spoke against the house of Ahab, and YHWH has done that which He spoke by the hand of His servant Elijah.”
Znajte, dakle, da nije izostala nijedna riječ koju reče Jahve o obitelji Ahabovoj; nego je Jahve izvršio sve što je rekao preko sluge svoga Ilije.”
11 And Jehu strikes all those left to the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his acquaintances, and his priests, until he has not left a remnant to him.
I Jehu pobi sve koji su u Jizreelu ostali iz kuće Ahabove, sve velikaše njegove, pouzdanike i svećenike njegove. Nije poštedio nikoga.
12 And he rises, and comes in and goes to Samaria; he [is] at the shepherds’ shearing-house in the way,
Potom usta Jehu i pođe u Samariju. Kad je bio na cesti kod Bet Ekeda pastirskoga,
13 and Jehu has found the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah and says, “Who [are] you?” And they say, “We [are] brothers of Ahaziah, and we go down to greet the sons of the king and the sons of the mistress.”
nađe braću judejskog kralja Ahazje te ih upita: “Tko ste?” Oni mu odgovoriše: “Mi smo braća Ahazjina, a silazimo da pozdravimo sinove kraljeve i sinove kraljičine.”
14 And he says, “Catch them alive”; and they catch them alive, and slaughter them at the pit of the shearing-house, forty-two men, and he has not left [even one] man of them.
Tada zapovjedi: “Pohvatajte ih žive!” I žive ih pohvataše i pobiše ih na studencu kod Bet Ekeda, njih četrdeset i dvojicu. Nije ostavio ni jednoga od njih.
15 And he goes there, and finds Jehonadab son of Rechab to meet him, and blesses him, and says to him, “Is your heart right, as my heart [is] with your heart?” And Jehonadab says, “It is.” “Then it is; give your hand”; and he gives his hand, and he causes him to come up into the chariot to him,
Otišavši odatle, nađe Jonadaba, sina Rekabova, koji mu je dolazio u susret. On ga pozdravi i reče mu: “Je li tvoje srce iskreno prema mome, kao što je moje prema tvome srcu?” Jonadab odgovori: “Jest.” - “Ako je tako, daj mi ruku.” Jonadab mu pruži ruku i Jehu ga posadi kraj sebe na kola.
16 and says, “Come with me, and look on my zeal for YHWH”; and they cause him to ride in his chariot.
I reče mu: “Hodi sa mnom, divit ćeš se mojoj revnosti za Jahvu.” I odvede ga na svojim kolima.
17 And he comes to Samaria, and strikes all those left to Ahab in Samaria, until his destroying him, according to the word of YHWH that He spoke to Elisha.
Ušao je u Samariju i poubijao sve preživjele iz obitelji Ahabove u Samariji. Sve ih je iskorijenio po riječi koju Jahve bijaše rekao Iliji.
18 And Jehu gathers the whole of the people and says to them, “Ahab served Ba‘al a little—Jehu serves him much:
Jehu je sakupio sav narod i rekao mu: “Ahab je malo poštivao Baala; Jehu će ga više poštivati.
19 and now, all the prophets of Ba‘al, all his servants, and all his priests, call to me; do not let a man be lacking, for I have a great sacrifice for Ba‘al; everyone who is lacking—he does not live”; and Jehu has done [it] in subtlety, in order to destroy the servants of Ba‘al.
Sada mi pozovite sve proroke Baalove, sve njegove sluge i sve njegove svećenike, neka ni jedan ne izostane, jer ću žrtvovati veliku žrtvu Baalu. Tko izostane, izgubit će život.” Jehu je radio lukavo, da bi uništio Baalove vjernike.
20 And Jehu says, “Sanctify a restraint for Ba‘al”; and they proclaim [it].
Jehu reče: “Sazovite svečani zbor Baalu.” I sazvaše ga.
21 And Jehu sends into all Israel, and all the servants of Ba‘al come in, and there has not been left a man who has not come in; and they come into the house of Ba‘al, and the house of Ba‘al is full—mouth to mouth.
Jehu je nato poslao glasnike po svem Izraelu i došli su svi Baalovi vjernici: nije bilo ni jednoga da bi izostao. Skupili su se u Baalov hram, koji se ispunio od jednoga zida do drugoga.
22 And he says to him who [is] over the wardrobe, “Bring out clothing for all those serving Ba‘al”; and he brings out the clothing to them.
Jehu reče čuvaru haljina: “Iznesi haljine svim Baalovim vjernicima.” I iznese im haljine.
23 And Jehu goes in—and Jehonadab son of Rechab—to the house of Ba‘al, and says to the servants of Ba‘al, “Search and see, lest there be [any] from the servants of YHWH here with you—but [only] the servants of Ba‘al by themselves.”
Jehu uđe u hram Baalov s Jonadabom, sinom Rekabovim, i reče Baalovim vjernicima: “Provjerite dobro da nema ovdje među vama Jahvina sluge nego samih Baalovih vjernika.”
24 And they come in to make sacrifices and burnt-offerings, and Jehu has set eighty men for himself in an out-place, and says, “The man who lets [any] of the men whom I am bringing into your hand escape—his soul for his soul.”
I pođe žrtvovati klanice i paljenice. Ali je Jehu postavio vani osamdeset svojih ljudi i rekao im: “Ako koji od vas pusti da utekne i jedan od ovih ljudi što ih predajem u vaše ruke, svojim će životom platiti njegov život.”
25 And it comes to pass, at his finishing to make the burnt-offering, that Jehu says to the runners and to the captains, “Go in, strike them, let none come out”; and they strike them by the mouth of the sword, and the runners and the captains cast [them] out; and they go to the city, to the house of Ba‘al,
Kad je Jehu završio prinos paljenice, naredi tjelesnoj straži i dvoranima: “Uđite, pobijte ih! Nitko neka ne iziđe!” Tjelesna straža i dvorani uđoše, pobiše ih oštricom mača i prodriješe sve do svetišta Baalova hrama.
26 and bring out the standing-pillars of the house of Ba‘al, and burn them,
Iznesoše Baalov lik iz hrama i spališe ga.
27 and break down the standing-pillar of Ba‘al, and break down the house of Ba‘al, and appoint it for a latrine to this day.
Raskopaše žrtvenik Baalov, srušiše i hram Baalov i pretvoriše ga u jame za nečist, koje su ostale do danas.
28 And Jehu destroys Ba‘al out of Israel,
Tako je Jehu istrijebio Baala iz Izraela.
29 only [not]—the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he caused Israel to sin, Jehu has not turned aside from after them—the calves of gold that [are] at Beth-El and in Dan.
Ali se Jehu nije okrenuo od grijeha Jeroboama, sina Nebatova, kojima je zavodio Izraela, od zlatnih telaca u Betelu i Danu.
30 And YHWH says to Jehu, “Because that you have done well, to do that which [is] right in My eyes—according to all that [is] in My heart you have done to the house of Ahab—the sons of the fourth [generation] sit on the throne of Israel for you.”
Jahve je rekao Jehuu: “Zato što si dobro izvršio ono što mi je po volji i što si učinio sve što sam nosio u srcu protiv kuće Ahabove, tvoji će sinovi sve do četvrtoga koljena sjediti na prijestolju Izraelovu.”
31 And Jehu has not taken heed to walk in the Law of YHWH, God of Israel, with all his heart; he has not turned aside from the sins of Jeroboam that he caused Israel to sin.
Ali Jehu nije vjerno i svim srcem svojim slijedio zakon Jahve, Boga Izraelova. Nije se odvratio od grijeha kojima je Jeroboam zavodio Izraela.
32 In those days YHWH has begun to cut off [some] in Israel, and Hazael strikes them in all the border of Israel,
U ono je vrijeme Jahve počeo krnjiti zemlju izraelsku, i Hazael se tukao s Izraelcima na svom području,
33 from the Jordan, at the sun-rising: the whole land of Gilead, of the Gadite, and the Reubenite, and the Manassite (from Aroer, that [is] by the Brook of Arnon), even Gilead and Bashan.
od Jordana prema sunčevu izlasku, u svoj zemlji Gileadu, u zemlji Gadovoj, Rubenovoj i Manašeovoj, sve od Aroera na obali Arnona, do Gileada i Bašana.
34 And the rest of the matters of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Ostala povijest Jehuova, sve što je učinio, sva njegova djela, zar to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva izraelskih?
35 And Jehu lies with his fathers, and they bury him in Samaria, and his son Jehoahaz reigns in his stead.
Počinuo je kraj svojih otaca i pokopaše ga u Samariji. Joahaz, sin njegov, zakralji se mjesto njega.
36 And the days that Jehu has reigned over Israel in Samaria [are] twenty-eight years.
Jehu je vladao u Samariji nad Izraelom dvadeset i osam godina.
