1 Kings 19
1 And Ahab told Jezebel, all that Elijah had done, —and withal, how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
Ahab ispriča Izebeli sve što je Ilija učinio i kako je mačem poubijao sve proroke.
2 Then sent Jezebel a messenger unto Elijah, saying, —So, let the gods do, and, so, let them add, if, by this time to-morrow, I make not thy 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, when he saw [that], he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongeth 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 into the wilderness a day’s journey, and came and sat down under a certain shrub, —and asked for his life, that he might die, and said—Enough, now, O Yahweh! take away my life, for, no better, am, I, 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, as he lay, and slept, under a certain shrub, lo! a messenger, touching him, who said to him—Rise, eat.
Zatim leže i zaspa. Ali gle, anđeo ga taknu i reče mu: “Ustani i jedi.”
6 So he looked about, and lo! at his head, a cake baked on hot stones, and a cruse of water, —and he did eat and drink, and then went back and lay 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 Yahweh came again a second time, and touched him, and said—Rise, eat, —because, too much for thee, is the journey.
Ali se anđeo Jahvin javi i drugi put, dotače ga i reče: “Ustani i jedi, jer je pred tobom dalek put!”
8 So he arose, and did eat and drink, —and journeyed, in the strength of that eating, forty days and forty nights, as far as 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 entered, there, into a cave, and lodged there, —and lo! the word of Yahweh [came] unto him, and said to him, What doest thou 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 said—Very jealous, have I been, for Yahweh, God of hosts, because the sons of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thine altars, have they thrown down, thy prophets, also have they slain with the sword, —and, I alone, am left, and they have sought 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 said—Go forth to-morrow, and stand in the mountain, before Yahweh. And lo! Yahweh, passing by, and a great and strong wind—rending the mountains, and breaking in pieces the crags, before Yahweh, Not, in the wind, was, Yahweh, —And, after the wind, an, earthquake, Not, in the earthquake, was, Yahweh;
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 earthquake, a, fire, Not, in the fire, was, Yahweh, —And, after the fire, the voice of a gentle whisper.
a poslije potresa bio je oganj, ali Jahve nije bio u ognju; poslije ognja šapat laganog i blagog lahora.
13 And it came to pass, when Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went forth, and stood at the entrance of the cave, —and lo! unto him, a voice; and it said—What doest thou 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 said—Very jealous, have I been, for Yahweh, God of hosts, because the sons of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thine altars, have they thrown down, thy prophets also, have they slain with the sword, —and, I alone, am left, and they rove sought 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 Yahweh said unto him, Go, return to thy way, towards the wilderness of Damascus, —and, when thou enterest, then shalt thou anoint Hazael to be king over Syria;
Jahve mu reče: “Idi, vrati se istim putem u damaščansku pustinju. Kad dođeš, pomaži ondje Hazaela za kralja aramskog.
16 And, Jehu son of Minshi, shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel, —and, Elisha son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah, shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy stead:
Pomaži Jehuu, sina Nimsijeva, za kralja izraelskoga i pomaži Elizeja, sina Šafatova, iz Abel Mehole, za proroka namjesto sebe.
17 Then shall it come to pass, that—him that escapeth the sword of Hazael, shall, Jehu, slay, —and, him that escapeth the sword of Jehu, shall, Elisha, slay;
Koji utekne od mača Hazaelova, njega će pogubiti Jehu; a tko utekne od Jehuova mača, njega će pogubiti Elizej.
18 Yet will I leave remaining in Israel, seven thousand, —all knees which have not bowed to Baal, and all mouths which have not kissed to 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 from thence, and found Elisha son of Shaphat, as he was plowing, with twelve yoke of oxen before him, he being with the twelfth, —so Elijah crossed over unto him, and cast his mantle towards 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 left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said—Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, that I may follow thee. And he said unto him, —Go, turn back, for what have I done to thee?
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 So he turned back from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and sacrificed them, and, with the implements of the oxen, boiled their flesh, and gave unto the people, and they did eat, —then he arose, and followed Elijah, and ministered unto 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.
