2 Kings 4

1 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead: and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two children to be bondmen.

Torej tam je neka ženska, izmed žena preroških sinov, zaklicala k Elizeju, rekoč: »Tvoj služabnik, moj soprog, je mrtev, in ti veš, da se je tvoj služabnik bal Gospoda in prišel je upnik, da bi si moja dva sinova k sebi vzel za sužnja.«

2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me; what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.

Elizej ji je rekel: »Kaj naj storim zate? Povej mi, kaj imaš v hiši?« Rekla je: »Tvoja pomočnica nima v hiši ničesar razen lonca olja.«

3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

Potem je rekel: »Pojdi, izposodi si posode od vseh svojih sosed, prazne posode. Ne izposodi si jih malo.

4 And thou shalt go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels; and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

Ko vstopiš noter, boš za seboj in za svojima sinovoma zaprla vrata in izlivala v vse tiste posode in tisto, ki je polna, boš postavila na stran.«

5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons; they brought [the vessels] to her, and she poured out.

Tako je odšla od njega in za seboj in za svojima sinovoma, ki sta k njej prinesla posode, zaprla vrata in ona je izlivala.

6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

Pripetilo se je, ko so bile posode polne, da je svojemu sinu rekla: »Še mi prinesi posodo.« Rekel ji je: »Nobene posode ni več.« In olje se je ustavilo.

7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy sons of the rest.

Potem je prišla in povedala Božjemu možu. Rekel je: »Pojdi, prodaj olje in poplačaj svoj dolg in od preostanka živite ti in tvoja otroka.«

8 And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

Zgodilo se je na nek dan, da je Elizej odšel v Šuném, kjer je bila plemenita ženska; in ta ga je primorala, da jé kruh. In to je bilo tako, da tako pogosto, kot je šel mimo, se je obrnil tja, da bi jedel kruh.

9 And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.

Svojemu soprogu je rekla: »Glej torej, zaznavam, da je to sveti Božji mož, ki nenehno hodi mimo nas.

10 Let us make, I pray thee, a little chamber on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

Narediva majhno sobo, prosim te, na zidu in tam zanj postavimo posteljo, mizo, stolček in svečnik. In zgodilo se bo, ko prihaja k nam, da se bo obrnil tja noter.«

11 And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber and lay there.

Zgodilo se je na nek dan, da je prišel tja, se obrnil v sobo in se tam ulegel.

12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

Svojemu služabniku Gehazíju je rekel: »Pokliči to Šunémko.« Ko jo je ta poklical, je obstala pred njim.

13 And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.

Rekel mu je: »Sedaj ji povej: ›Glej, hitela si za naju z vso to skrbjo. Kaj naj bo storjeno zate? Ali naj zate govorim kralju ali poveljniku vojske?‹« Odgovorila je: »Prebivam med svojim lastnim ljudstvom.«

14 And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no son, and her husband is old.

Rekel je: »Kaj naj bo potem storjeno zanjo?« Gehazí je odgovoril: »Resnično, ona nima otroka in njen soprog je star.«

15 And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

Rekel je: »Pokliči jo.« Ko jo je poklical, je obstala med vrati.

16 And he said, At this season, when the time cometh round, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.

Rekel je: »Okoli tega obdobja, glede na čas življenja, boš objemala sina.« Rekla je: »Ne, moj gospod, Božji mož, ne laži svoji pomočnici.«

17 And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season, when the time came round, as Elisha had said unto her.

Ženska je spočela in rodila sina v tistem obdobju, ki ji ga je Elizej povedal, glede na čas življenja.

18 And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

Ko je otrok postal večji, se je nekega dne zgodilo, da je odšel ven k svojemu očetu, k žanjcem.

19 And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to his servant, Carry him to his mother.

Svojemu očetu je rekel: »Moja glava, moja glava.« In ta je rekel mladeniču: »Odnesi ga k njegovi materi.«

20 And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.

Ko ga je ta vzel in ga privedel k njegovi materi, je do opoldneva sedel na njenih kolenih, potem pa je umrl.

21 And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut [the door] upon him, and went out.

Vzdignila se je, ga položila na posteljo Božjega moža, zaprla vrata za njim in odšla ven.

22 And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the servants, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

Poklicala je k svojemu soprogu in rekla: »Pošlji mi, prosim te, enega izmed mladeničev in enega izmed oslov, da lahko stečem k Božjemu možu in ponovno pridem nazaj.«

23 And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him today? it is neither new moon nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.

Rekel je: »Čemu hočeš iti k njemu danes? Ni niti mlaj niti šabat.« Rekla je: » To bo dobro.«

24 Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slacken me not the riding, except I bid thee.

Potem je osedlala osla in svojemu mladeniču rekla: »Požêni in pojdi naprej. Svojega jahanja ne upočasnjuj zaradi mene, razen če ti ne zapovem.«

25 So she went, and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is the Shunammite:

Tako je odšla in prišla k Božjemu možu na goro Karmel. Pripetilo se je, ko jo je Božji mož od daleč zagledal, da je svojemu služabniku Gehazíju rekel: »Glej, tam je ta Šunémka.

26 run, I pray thee, now to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.

Steci sedaj, prosim te, da jo srečaš in ji reci: › Ali je dobro s teboj? Ali je dobro s tvojim soprogom? Ali je dobro z otrokom?‹« Odgovorila je: »Dobro je.«

27 And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone: for her soul is vexed within her; and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.

Ko pa je prišla k Božjemu možu na hrib, se je oklenila njegovih stopal. Toda Gehazí se je približal, da jo pahne proč. Božji mož pa je rekel: »Pusti jo; kajti njena duša je zagrenjena znotraj nje in Gospod je to skril pred menoj in mi ni povedal.«

28 Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?

Potem je rekla: »Ali sem si jaz želela sina od svojega gospoda?« Ali nisem rekla: »Ne zavajaj me?«

29 Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.

Potem je rekel Gehazíju: »Opaši svoja ledja in v svojo roko vzemi mojo palico in pojdi svojo pot. Če srečaš kateregakoli človeka, ga ne pozdravi in če kdorkoli pozdravi tebe, mu ravno tako ne odgovori, in mojo palico položi na otrokov obraz.«

30 And the mother of the child said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.

Otrokova mati je rekla: » Kakor Gospod živi in kakor tvoja duša živi, te ne bom zapustila.« Vstal je in ji sledil.

31 And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.

Gehazí je šel pred njima in palico položil na otrokov obraz, toda ni bilo niti glasu niti uslišanja. Zatorej je ponovno odšel, da ga sreča in mu povedal, rekoč: »Otrok se ni prebudil.«

32 And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.

Ko je Elizej prišel v hišo, glej, je bil otrok mrtev in položen na njegovo posteljo.

33 He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.

Vstopil je torej in zaprl vrata za njima ter molil h Gospodu.

34 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon him; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

Povzpel se je in legel na otroka ter svoja usta položil na njegova usta in svoje oči na njegove oči in svoje roke na njegove roke. Raztegnil se je nad otrokom in otrokovo meso se je ogrelo.

35 Then he returned, and walked in the house once to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

Potem se je vrnil in po hiši hodil sem ter tja, se povzpel in sebe raztegnil nad njim. Otrok je sedemkrat kihnil in otrok je odprl svoje oči.

36 And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in onto him, he said, Take up thy son.

Poklical je Gehazíja in rekel: »Pokliči to Šunémko.« Tako jo je poklical. Ko je vstopila k njemu, je rekel: »Vzemi svojega sina.«

37 Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.

Potem je vstopila, padla k njegovim stopalom, se priklonila do tal, vzela svojega sina in odšla ven.

38 And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets.

Elizej je ponovno prišel v Gilgál. Tam pa je bilo v deželi pomanjkanje. Sinovi prerokov so sedeli pred njim. Svojemu služabniku je rekel: »Pristavi velik lonec in za sinove prerokov zavri juho.«

39 And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not.

Nekdo je odšel na polje, da nabere zelišča in našel divjo trto in od nje nabral polno naročje divjih buč in prišel in jih zrezal v lonec juhe, kajti niso jih poznali.

40 So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.

Tako so nalili, da bi možje jedli. Pripetilo pa se je, ko so jedli juho, da so zavpili in rekli: »Oh ti Božji mož, smrt je v loncu.« In tega niso mogli jesti.

41 But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.

Toda rekel je: »Torej prinesite moko.« Vrgel jo je v lonec in rekel: »Nalij za ljudstvo, da bodo lahko jedli.« In v loncu ni bilo nič škodljivega.

42 And there came a man from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of corn in his sack. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.

Prišel je mož iz Báal Šalíša in Božjemu možu prinesel kruh od prvih sadov, dvajset ječmenovih hlebov in polno žitno klasje v luščinah. Rekel je: »Dajte ljudstvu, da bodo lahko jedli.«

43 And his servant said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? But he said, Give the people, that they may eat; for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.

Njegov strežnik pa je rekel: »Kaj, mar naj bi to postavil pred sto mož?« Ponovno je rekel: »Daj ljudstvu, da bodo lahko jedli, kajti tako govori Gospod: › Od tega bodo jedli in še bo ostalo.‹«

44 So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD.

Tako je to postavil prednje in so jedli in od tega pustili, glede na Gospodovo besedo.
