< 1 Kings 13 >
1 One day a prophet, obeying what Yahweh commanded him to do, went from Judah [north] to Bethel. He arrived there right at the time that Jeroboam was standing at the altar, ready to burn incense.
А гле, човек Божји дође из земље Јудине с речју Господњом у Ветиљ, кад Јеровоам стајаше код олтара да кади.
2 Saying what Yahweh told him to say, the prophet shouted, “This is what Yahweh says [about this] altar [APO]: ‘I want you to know that [some day] a descendant [MTY] of King David will be born. His name will be Josiah, and he will come here. He will slaughter at this altar the priests who are burning incense for sacrifices on the hills [in this area], and he will burn the bones of dead people on this altar.’” [APO]
И повика пут олтара речју Господњом говорећи: Олтаре! Олтаре! Овако вели Господ: Ево, родиће се син дому Давидовом по имену Јосија, који ће на теби клати свештенике висина, који каде на теби, и људске ће кости спалити на теби.
3 Then the prophet also said, “This is what will prove to you that Yahweh has said this: This altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be scattered.’”
И учини знак истог дана говорећи: Ово је знак да је Господ то рекао: Ето, олтар ће се распасти и просуће се пепео што је на њему.
4 When King Jeroboam heard the prophet say that, he pointed his finger at him and said to his servants, “Seize that man!” But immediately the king’s arm became paralyzed/stiff, with the result that he could not move it.
А кад цар Јеровоам чу речи човека Божијег које викаше олтару ветиљском, пружи руку своју с олтара говорећи: Држите га! Али усахну му рука коју пружи на њ, и не могаше је повратити к себи.
5 And the altar immediately split apart, and the ashes spilled out [on the ground], which is what the prophet said that Yahweh [MTY] had predicted would happen.
А олтар се распаде, и просу се пепео с олтара по знаку који учини човек Божји речју Господњом.
6 Then the king said to the prophet, “Please pray that Yahweh will be merciful to me and heal my arm!” So the prophet prayed, and Yahweh completely healed the king’s arm.
Тада цар рече човеку Божијем: Припадни ка Господу Богу свом, и помоли се за ме да ми се поврати рука. И човек се Божји помоли Господу, и поврати се цару рука, и поста као што је била.
7 Then the king said to the prophet, “Come home with me and eat some food. And I will also give you a reward [for what you have done]!”
И рече цар човеку Божијем: Ходи са мном кући мојој, и поткрепи се, и даћу ти дар.
8 But the prophet replied, “Even if you would [promise to] give me half of everything that you own [MTY], I will not go with you, and I will not eat or drink anything with you here,
Али човек Божји рече цару: Да ми даш по куће своје, не бих ишао с тобом нити бих јео хлеба ни воде пио у овом месту.
9 because Yahweh commanded me not to eat or drink anything here. He also commanded me not to return home on the road on which I came here.”
Јер ми је тако заповедио својом речју Господ говорећи: Не једи хлеба ни пиј воде, нити се враћај истим путем којим отидеш.
10 So he started to return home, but he did not go on the road on which he came to Bethel. He went on a different road.
И отиде другим путем, а не врати се оним којим беше дошао у Ветиљ.
11 At that time there was an old man living in Bethel who was a prophet. His sons came and told him what the prophet [from Judah] had done there on that day, and they also told him what the prophet had said to the king.
А у Ветиљу живљаше један стари пророк, коме дође син његов и приповеди све што учини пророк Божји онај дан у Ветиљу, и речи које рече цару; и приповедише синови тог пророка оцу свом.
12 Their father said, “On which road did he go?” So his sons showed him the road on which the prophet from Judah had gone [when he left Bethel].
А отац им рече: Којим је путем отишао? И показаше синови пут којим отиде човек Божји који беше дошао из земље Јудине.
13 Then he said to his sons, “Put a saddle on my donkey.” So they did that, and he got on the donkey.
А он рече синовима својим: Осамарите ми магарца. И осамарише му магарца, те уседе на њ.
14 He went along the road to (find/catch up with) the prophet from Judah. He found him sitting under an oak tree. He said to him, “Are you the prophet who came from Judah?” He replied, “Yes, I am.”
И пође за човеком Божјим, и нађе га а он седи под храстом, па му рече: Јеси ли ти човек Божји што дође из земље Јудине? Он му одговори: Ја сам.
15 The old prophet said to him, “Come home with me and eat some food.”
А он му рече: Ходи са мном мојој кући да једеш хлеба.
16 He replied, “No, I am not allowed to go with you into your house, or to eat or drink anything with you,
Али он одговори: Не могу се вратити с тобом ни ићи с тобом; нити ћу јести хлеба ни пити воде с тобом у овом месту.
17 because Yahweh told me, ‘Do not eat or drink anything here, and do not return home on the road on which you came.’”
Јер ми је речено речју Господњом: Не једи хлеба ни пиј воде онде, нити се враћај путем којим отидеш.
18 Then the old prophet said to him, “I also am a prophet, like you are. Yahweh sent an angel to tell me that I should take you home with me and give you some food and drink.” But the old man was lying [when he said that].
А он му рече: и ја сам пророк као ти, и анђео Господњи рече ми речју Господњом говорећи: Врати га са собом у своју кућу нека једе хлеба и пије воде. Али му слага.
19 But because of what the old prophet said, the prophet from Judah returned with him to his home and ate some food and drank some water with him.
И врати се с њим, те једе хлеба у његовој кући и пи воде.
20 While they were sitting at the table, Yahweh spoke to the old man.
А кад сеђаху за столом, дође реч Господња пророку који га беше вратио;
21 Then he cried out to the prophet from Judah, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You have disobeyed him, and you have not done what he commanded you to do.
И повика на човека Божјег који беше дошао из земље Јудине, и рече: Овако вели Господ: Што ниси послушао реч Господњу, и ниси држао заповест коју ти је заповедио Господ Бог твој,
22 Instead, you have come back here and had things to eat and drink in a place where he commanded you not to do that. As a result, you will be killed, and your body will not be buried in the grave where your ancestors are buried.’”
Него си се вратио и јео хлеба и пио воде на месту за које ти је рекао: Не једи хлеба ни пиј воде; зато неће твоје тело доћи у гроб твојих отаца.
23 When they had finished eating, the old man put a saddle on the donkey for the prophet from Judah, [and the prophet from Judah left].
И пошто се пророк ког беше вратио наједе хлеба и пошто се напи, осамари му магарца.
24 But as he was going, a lion met him and killed him. The prophet’s corpse was lying on the road, and the donkey was standing beside it, and the lion was also standing beside the corpse.
А кад отиде, удеси га лав на путу и закла га. И тело његово лежаше на путу и магарац стајаше код њега; такође и лав стајаше код тела.
25 Some men passed by and were surprised to see the corpse on the road and the lion standing next to the corpse. So they went into Bethel and reported what they had seen.
И гле, људи пролазећи видеше тело где лежи на путу и лава где стоји код тела, и дошавши јавише у граду у коме живљаше стари пророк.
26 When the old man who had brought the prophet from Judah to his home heard about it, he said, “That is the prophet who disobeyed what Yahweh told him to do! That is why Yahweh allowed the lion to attack him and kill him. That is what Yahweh said would happen!”
А кад то чу пророк који га беше вратио с пута, рече: Ово је човек Божји, који не послуша речи Господње, зато га даде Господ лаву да га растргне и усмрти по речи Господњој коју му рече.
27 Then he said to his sons, “Put a saddle on my donkey.” So they did that.
И рече синовима својим говорећи: Осамарите ми магарца. И осамарише.
28 Then he rode on the donkey and found the prophet’s corpse on the road, and his donkey and the lion were still standing there alongside the corpse. But the lion had not eaten any of the flesh of the prophet and had not attacked the donkey.
И отишавши, нађе тело где лежи на путу, и магарца и лава где стоје код тела: Лав не беше изјео тело ни магарца растргао.
29 The old man picked up the corpse of the prophet and put it on his donkey and brought it back to Bethel, in order to mourn for him and to bury his corpse.
Тада пророк подиже тело човека Божијег, и метнув га на магарца, однесе га натраг, и дође у град стари пророк да га ожали и погребе.
30 He buried the prophet’s corpse in the grave where other people in his family [had been buried]. Then he and his sons mourned for him, saying, “[We are very sorry], my brother!”
И метну тело у свој гроб, и плакаху над њим говорећи: Јаох брате!
31 After they had buried him, the old man said to his sons, “When I die, bury my corpse in the grave where we buried the prophet from Judah. Lay my corpse next to his corpse.
А пошто га погребе, рече синовима својим говорећи: Кад умрем, погребите ме у гробу где је погребен човек Божји, покрај костију његових метните кости моје.
32 [And do not forget what he said, because] the things that Yahweh told him to say about the altar in Bethel, and about the shrines on the hills in the towns in Samaria, will surely happen.”
Јер ће се зацело збити шта је огласио по речи Господњој за олтар ветиљски и за све куће висина које су по градовима самаријским.
33 But King Jeroboam still did not turn away from continuing to do evil things. Instead, he appointed more priests [who were not descended from Levi]. Anyone who wanted to be a priest, he appointed to be a priest, in order that he could offer sacrifices on the hills.
Пошто ово би, опет се Јеровоам не врати са свог злог пута; него опет начини из простог народа свештенике висинама; ко год хоћаше, томе он посвећиваше руке и тај постајаше свештеник висинама.
34 Because he committed that sin, [a few years later] God got rid of most of Jeroboam’s descendants and did not allow them to become kings of Israel.
И то би на грех дому Јеровоамовом да би се истребио и да би га нестало са земље.
