1 Kings 19
1 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
Ahab ispriča Izebeli sve što je Ilija učinio i kako je mačem poubijao sve proroke.
2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, "So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time."
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 was afraid, and he got up and fled for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant 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 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is enough. Now, YHWH, take away my life, for I am no 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 He lay down and slept under a broom tree. And look, an angel touched him, and said to him, "Arise and eat."
Zatim leže i zaspa. Ali gle, anđeo ga taknu i reče mu: “Ustani i jedi.”
6 He looked, and look, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again.
On pogleda, kad gle - kraj njegova uzglavlja na kamenu pečen kruh i vrč vode. Jeo je i pio, pa opet legao.
7 The angel of YHWH came again the second time, and touched him, and said, "Arise and eat, because the journey 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 got up and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the Mount of God.
Ustao je, jeo i pio. Okrijepljen tom hranom, išao je četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći sve do Božje gore Horeba.
9 And there he came to a cave and lodged there; and look, the word of YHWH came to him, and he said 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 He said, "I have been very jealous for YHWH, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."
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 said, "Go out tomorrow and stand on the mountain before YHWH." Look, YHWH passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before YHWH; but YHWH was not in the wind. After the wind an earthquake; but YHWH was not in the earthquake.
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 After the earthquake a fire passed; but YHWH was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
a poslije potresa bio je oganj, ali Jahve nije bio u ognju; poslije ognja šapat laganog i blagog lahora.
13 It was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his cloak, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. Look, a voice came to him, and said, "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 He said, "I have been very jealous for YHWH, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."
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 YHWH said to him, "Go, return on your way, and you will come to the way of the wilderness of Damascus, and when you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael to be king over Aram.
Jahve mu reče: “Idi, vrati se istim putem u damaščansku pustinju. Kad dođeš, pomaži ondje Hazaela za kralja aramskog.
16 You shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel; and you shall anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah to be prophet in your place.
Pomaži Jehuu, sina Nimsijeva, za kralja izraelskoga i pomaži Elizeja, sina Šafatova, iz Abel Mehole, za proroka namjesto sebe.
17 It shall happen, that he who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.
Koji utekne od mača Hazaelova, njega će pogubiti Jehu; a tko utekne od Jehuova mača, njega će pogubiti Elizej.
18 Yet I have kept for myself seven thousand people in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, 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 So he departed there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing, with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed over to him, and cast his cloak on 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 He left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, "Let me please kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you." He said to him, "Go back again; 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 He returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and served 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.
