1 Kings 20
1 Now, Ben-hadad, king of Syria, had gathered together all his forces, and, thirty-two kings, were with him, and horses and chariots, —then came he up, and laid siege to Samaria, and made war against it.
A Ven-Adad car Sirski skupi vojsku svoju, i imaše sa sobom trideset i dva cara, i konje i kola; i otišavši opkoli Samariju i stade je biti.
2 And he sent messengers unto Ahab king of Israel, into the city, and said to him, —Thus, saith Ben-hadad,
I posla poslanike k Ahavu caru Izrailjevu u grad,
3 Thy silver and thy gold, are, mine, and, thy wives and thy sons, the goodliest, are, mine.
I poruèi mu: ovako veli Ven-Adad: srebro tvoje i zlato tvoje moje je, tako i žene tvoje i tvoji lijepi sinovi moji su.
4 Then responded the king of Israel, and said, According to thy word, my lord O king! thine, am I, and all that I have.
A car Izrailjev odgovori i reèe: kao što si rekao, gospodaru moj care, ja sam tvoj i sve što imam.
5 And the messengers came back again, and said, Thus, speaketh Ben-hadad, saying, —Because I sent unto thee, saying, Thy silver and thy gold and thy wives and thy sons, to me, shalt thou give,
A poslanici opet doðoše i rekoše: ovako veli Ven-Adad: poslao sam k tebi i poruèio: srebro svoje i zlato svoje i žene svoje i sinove svoje da mi daš.
6 Therefore, about this time to-morrow, will I send my servants unto thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants, —and it shall be, that, all the delight of thine eyes, shall they put in their hand, and take away.
Zato æu sjutra u ovo doba poslati sluge svoje k tebi da pregledaju kuæu tvoju i kuæe sluga tvojih, i što ti je god milo, oni æe uzeti i odnijeti.
7 Then called the king of Israel, for all the elders of the land, and said—Mark, I pray you, and see, how this man is seeking, mischief, —for he had sent unto me, for my wives, and for my sons, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I refused him not.
Tada dozva car Izrailjev sve starješine zemaljske i reèe: gledajte i vidite kako ovaj traži zlo; jer posla k meni po mene i po sinove moje i po srebro moje i po zlato moje, i ja mu ne branih.
8 And all the elders and all the people said unto him, —Do not thou hearken, neither do thou consent.
A sve starješine i sav narod rekoše mu: ne slušaj ga i ne pristaj.
9 So he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad—Say ye to my lord the king, —All that thou didst send for, to thy servant at the first, will I do, but, this thing, I cannot do. And the messengers departed, and took him back word.
I reèe poslanicima Ven-Adadovijem: kažite caru gospodaru mojemu: što si prvo poruèio sluzi svojemu sve æu uèiniti; ali ovo ne mogu uèiniti. Tako otidoše poslanici i odnesoše mu taj odgovor.
10 Then Ben-hadad sent unto him and said, —So, let the gods do to me, and, so, let them add, —if the dust of Samaria suffice by handfuls, for all the people who are at my feet.
A Ven-Adad posla k njemu i poruèi: tako da mi uèine bogovi i tako da dodadu! neæe biti dosta praha od Samarije da svemu narodu koji ide za mnom dopadne po jedna grst.
11 And the king of Israel responded and said: Tell him, —Let not, him that girdeth, boast himself like him, that looseneth.
A car Izrailjev odgovori i reèe: kažite: neka se ne hvali onaj koji se opasuje kao onaj koji se raspasuje.
12 And it came to pass, when he heard this message, as, he, was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants—Make ready! So they made ready, against the city.
A kad on to èu pijuæi s carevima pod šatorima, reèe slugama svojim: dižite se. I digoše se na grad.
13 And lo! a certain prophet, drew near unto Ahab king of Israel, and said, —Thus, saith Yahweh, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? Behold me! delivering it into thy hand, to-day, so shalt thou know that, I, am, Yahweh.
Tada gle, pristupi jedan prorok k Ahavu caru Izrailjevu, i reèe: ovako veli Gospod: vidiš li sve ovo mnoštvo? evo, ja æu ti ga dati u ruke danas da poznaš da sam ja Gospod.
14 And Ahab said—By whom? And he said—Thus, saith Yahweh, By the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then said he—Who shall begin the war? And he said—Thou!
A Ahav reèe: preko koga? A on reèe: ovako veli Gospod: preko momaka knezova zemaljskih. Opet reèe: ko æe zametnuti boj? A on reèe: ti.
15 Then numbered he the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were found to be, two hundred and thirty-two, —and, after them, he numbered all the people all the sons of Israel, seven thousand.
Tada prebroji momke knezova zemaljskih, i bješe ih dvjesta i trideset i dva; poslije njih prebroji sav narod, sve sinove Izrailjeve, i bješe ih sedam tisuæa.
16 And they went forth at noon. Now, Ben-hadad, was drinking himself drunk, in the pavilions, he and the thirty-two kings helping him.
I izidoše u podne; a Ven-Adad pijuæi opi se u šatorima s trideset i dva cara koji mu doðoše u pomoæ.
17 Then went forth the young men of the princes of the provinces, first, —and, when Ben-hadad sent, they told him, saying—Men, have come forth, out of Samaria.
I izidoše prvo momci knezova zemaljskih; a Ven-Adad posla, i javiše mu i rekoše: izidoše ljudi iz Samarije.
18 And he said—If, peaceably, they have come, take them alive, —or, if, fighting, they have come, alive, take ye them.
A on reèe: ako su izašli mira radi, pohvatajte ih žive; ako su izašli na boj, pohvatajte ih žive.
19 Now, when, these, had come forth out of the city, even the young men of the princes of the provinces, —with the force which was following them,
I izidoše iz grada momci knezova zemaljskih, i vojska za njima.
20 then smote they every one his man, and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them, —but Ben-hadad king of Syria escaped on horse, with horsemen.
I svaki ubi s kojim se sukobi, te Sirci pobjegoše a Izrailjci ih potjeraše. I Ven-Adad car Sirski pobježe na konju s konjicima.
21 And the king of Israel went forth, and took the horses and the chariots, —and he went on smiting the Syrians, with a great smiting.
I car Izrailjev izide i pobi konje i kola, i uèini velik pokolj meðu Sircima.
22 Then drew near the prophet, unto the king of Israel, and said unto him—Go strengthen thyself, and mark and see, what thou wilt do, —for, at the return of the year, is, the king of Syria, coming up against thee.
Potom doðe prorok k caru Izrailjevu i reèe mu: idi, budi hrabar; i promisli i vidi šta æeš èiniti, jer æe do godine opet doæi car Sirski na te.
23 And, the servants of the king of Syria, said unto him, —Gods of the mountains, are their gods, for this cause, prevailed they against us, —but, only let us fight with them in the plain, and verily we shall prevail against them.
A caru Sirskom rekoše sluge njegove: njihovi su bogovi gorski bogovi, zato nas nadjaèaše; nego da se bijemo s njima u polju, zacijelo æemo ih nadjaèati.
24 But, this thing, do, —set aside the kings, every man out of his place, and put governors in their stead;
Uèini dakle ovako: ukloni te careve s mjesta njihovijeh, i postavi vojvode mjesto njih.
25 and, thou, must number thee a force, like the force which thou hast lost, both horse for horse and chariot for chariot, and, if we fight with them in the plain, verily we shall prevail against them. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
Pa skupi vojsku kakva je bila ona koja ti je izginula, i konje kakvi su bili oni konji, i kola kao ona kola; pa da se pobijemo s njima u polju; zacijelo æemo ih nadjaèati. I posluša ih, i uèini tako.
26 And so it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the Syrians, —and came up to Aphek, to fight with Israel;
A kad proðe godina, Ven-Adad prebroji Sirce, i poðe u Afek da vojuje na Izrailja.
27 and, the sons of Israel, were numbered, and provisioned, and went to meet them, —and the sons of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of goats, whereas, the Syrians, filled the land.
I sinovi Izrailjevi prebrojiše se, i ponesavši hrane izidoše pred njih. I stadoše u oko sinovi Izrailjevi prema njima, kao dva mala stada koza, a Sirci bijahu prekrilili zemlju.
28 Then approached the man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said—Thus, saith Yahweh—Because the Syrians have said—A god of the mountains, is Yahweh, but, not a god of the vales, is he, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude, into thy hand, so shalt thou know, that, I, am Yahweh.
Tada doðe èovjek Božji, i progovori caru Izrailjevu i reèe: ovako veli Gospod: što Sirci rekoše da je Gospod gorski Bog a nije Bog poljski, zato æu ti dati u ruke sve ovo mnoštvo veliko da znate da sam ja Gospod.
29 So they encamped, these, over against, those, seven days, —and it came to pass, on the seventh day, that the battle was joined, and the sons of Israel smote the Syrians, a hundred thousand footmen, in one day.
I stajahu u okolu jedni prema drugima sedam dana; a sedmoga dana pobiše se, i sinovi Izrailjevi pobiše Siraca sto tisuæa pješaka u jedan dan.
30 And they who were left fled to Aphek, into the city, and the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men who were left, —and, Ben-hadad, fled, and came into the city, into a chamber within a chamber.
A ostali pobjegoše u grad Afek, i pade zid na dvadeset i sedam tisuæa ljudi koji bijahu ostali. I Ven-Adad pobjegav u grad uðe u najtajniju klijet.
31 And his servants said unto him, Lo! we pray thee, we have heard, of the kings of the house of Israel, that, kings known for lovingkindness, they are. Let us, we pray thee, put sackcloth upon our loins, and ropes about our head, and let us go forth unto the king of Israel, peradventure he will save alive thy soul.
A sluge mu rekoše: evo èuli smo da su carevi doma Izrailjeva milostivi carevi; da vežemo kostrijet oko sebe i da metnemo uzice sebi oko vratova, pa da izidemo pred cara Izrailjeva, da ako ostavi u životu dušu tvoju.
32 So they girded sackcloth upon their loins, and [put] ropes about their heads, and came in unto the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant, Ben-hadad, saith, —Let my soul live, I pray thee. And he said, —Is he yet alive? My brother, he is.
I vezaše kostrijet oko sebe, i metnuše uzice sebi oko vratova, i doðoše k caru Izrailjevu i rekoše: sluga tvoj Ven-Adad veli: ostavi u životu dušu moju. A on reèe: je li još živ? brat mi je.
33 Now, the men, could divine, so they hastened to let him confirm the word of his own accord, and they said, —Thy brother, is Ben-hadad! He said therefore, —Go fetch him. So Ben-hadad came forth unto him, and he made him come up unto him on his chariot.
A ljudi uzeše to za dobar znak, i odmah da bi ga uhvatili za rijeè rekoše: brat je tvoj Ven-Adad. A on reèe: idite, dovedite ga. Tada Ven-Adad izide k njemu; a on ga posadi na svoja kola.
34 And he said unto him—The cities which my father took from thy father, will I restore, and, bazaars, shalt thou make thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. So then, I, with this covenant, will let thee go. So he solemnised with him a covenant, and let him go.
Tada mu reèe Ven-Adad: gradove koje je uzeo otac moj tvome ocu, vratiæu, i naèini sebi ulice u Damasku kao što je otac moj uèinio u Samariji. A on odgovori: s tom vjerom otpustiæu te. I uèini vjeru s njim, i otpusti ga.
35 And, a certain man of the sons of the prophets, said unto his neighbour, by the word of Yahweh—Smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite him.
Tada jedan izmeðu sinova proroèkih reèe drugome po rijeèi Gospodnjoj: bij me. Ali ga onaj ne htje biti.
36 So he said to him—Because thou hast not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh, lo! when thou art departing from me, there shall smite thee a lion. And when he departed from beside him, a lion found him, and smote him.
A on mu reèe: što ne posluša glasa Gospodnjega, zato, evo kad otideš od mene, lav æe te zaklati. I kad otide od njega, sukobi ga lav i zakla ga.
37 Then found he another man, and said, —Smite me, I pray thee. So the man smote him—kept on smiting and wounding.
Opet našav drugoga reèe mu: bij me. A onaj ga izbi i izrani ga.
38 Then the prophet departed, and waited for the king, by the way, —and disguised himself with his turban over his eyes.
Tada otide prorok i stade na put kuda æe car proæi, i nagrdi se pepelom po licu.
39 And so it was, when, the king, was passing, he, cried out unto the king, —and said—Thy servant, went out in the midst of the battle, and lo! a man, turned aside and brought unto me a man, and said—Keep this man, if he be, missing, then shall, thy life, go for, his life, or, a talent of silver, shalt thou weigh out.
A kad car prolažaše, on viknu cara i reèe: tvoj sluga bijaše izašao u boj, a jedan došavši dovede mi èovjeka i reèe: èuvaj ovoga èovjeka; ako li ga nestane, biæe tvoja duša za njegovu dušu, ili æeš platiti talanat srebra.
40 And so it was, as thy servant was busy here and there, that, he, was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him—Such, is thy judgment, thou thyself, hast decided it.
A kad tvoj sluga imaše posla tamo amo, njega nesta. Tada mu reèe car Izrailjev: to ti je sud, sam si otsudio.
41 Then hastened he, and removed the turban from over his eyes, —and the king of Israel knew him, that, of the prophets, was, he.
A on brže ubrisa pepeo s lica, i car Izrailjev pozna ga da je jedan od proroka.
42 And he said unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, Because thou hast let go the man whom I had devoted, out of thy hand, therefore shall, thy life, be instead of, his life, and, thy people, instead of, his people.
A on mu reèe: ovako veli Gospod: što si pustio iz ruku èovjeka kojega sam ja osudio da se istrijebi, duša æe tvoja biti za njegovu dušu i narod tvoj za njegov narod.
43 And the king of Israel departed unto his house, sullen and disturbed, —and entered Samaria.
I otide car Izrailjev kuæi svojoj zlovoljan i ljutit, i doðe u Samariju.
