1 Kings 19
1 When Ahab got home, he told [his wife] Jezebel what Elijah had done. He told her that Elijah had killed all the prophets of Baal.
А Ахав приповеди Језавељи све што је учинио Илија и како је све пророке исекао мачем.
2 So Jezebel sent this message to Elijah: “By this time tomorrow I will have [killed] you, just like you [killed all those prophets of Baal]. If I do not do that, I hope the gods will kill me.”
Тада Језавеља посла гласнике к Илији и поручи му: Тако да учине богови и тако да додаду, ако сутра у ово доба не учиним од тебе шта је од кога год тих.
3 When Elijah received [her message], he was afraid. So [taking his servant with him], he fled in order that he would not be killed. He went [far south] to Beersheba, in Judah. He left his servant there.
А он видећи то уста и отиде душе своје ради, и дође у Вирсавеју Јудину, и онде остави момка свог.
4 Then he went by himself further [south] into the desert. He walked all day. He sat down under a broom tree and prayed that [Yahweh] would allow him to die. He said, “Yahweh, I’ve had enough. So allow me to die, because for me to live is no better than [being with] my ancestors [who have died].”
А сам отиде у пустињу дан хода; и дошав седе под смреку, и зажеле да умре, и рече: Доста је већ, Господе, прими душу моју, јер нисам бољи од отаца својих.
5 Then he lay down under the broom tree and slept. But while he was sleeping, an angel touched him and [woke him up and] said to him, “Get up and eat some food!”
Потом леже и заспа под смреком. А гле, анђео такну га и рече му: Устани, једи.
6 Elijah looked around and saw some bread which had been baked on hot stones, and he also saw a jar of water. So he ate some bread and drank some water and lay down [to sleep] again.
А он погледа, и гле, чело главе му хлеб на угљену печен и крчаг воде. И једе и напи се, па леже опет.
7 Then the angel [who had been sent by] Yahweh came again and touched him, and said, “Get up and eat some [more] food, because you need [more strength] to go on a long journey.”
А анђео Господњи дође опет другом, и такну га говорећи: Устани, једи, јер ти је пут далек.
8 So he got up and ate and drank some more, and because of doing that, he got enough strength to enable him to travel for forty days and nights to Sinai Mountain, the mountain [that was dedicated to] God.
А он уставши једе и напи се; потом окрепивши се оним јелом иде четрдесет дана и четрдесет ноћи докле дође на гору Божју Хорив.
9 He went into a cave there and slept there that night. [The next morning, ] Yahweh said to him “Elijah, why are you here?”
А онде уђе у једну пећину и заноћи у њој; и гле, реч Господња дође му говорећи: Шта ћеш ти ту, Илија?
10 Elijah replied, “I have zealously served you, Yahweh, God Almighty. But the Israeli people have broken the agreement that they made with you. They have torn down your altars, and they have killed all of your prophets. I am the only one whom they have not killed, and now they are trying to kill me, too. [So I am running away from them].”
А он рече: Ревновах веома за Господа Бога над војскама; јер синови Израиљеви оставише завет Твој, Твоје олтаре развалише, и пророке Твоје побише мачем; а ја остах сам, па траже душу моју да ми је узму.
11 Yahweh said to him, “Go out and stand in front of me on this mountain while I pass by.” [Suddenly] a strong windstorm struck the mountain. As a result, rocks were loosened from the mountainside. But Yahweh was not in the wind. Then there was an earthquake, but Yahweh was not in the earthquake.
А Он рече: Изиђи и стани на гори пред Господом. И гле, Господ пролажаше, а пред Господом велик и јак ветар, који брда разваљиваше и стене разламаше; али Господ не беше у ветру; а иза ветра дође трус; али Господ не беше у трусу;
12 Then there was a fire, but Yahweh was not in the fire. Then there was a sound like someone whispering quietly.
А иза труса дође огањ; али Господ не беше у огњу. А иза огња дође глас тих и танак.
13 When Elijah heard that, he wrapped his cloak around his face. He went out of the cave and stood at its entrance. And he heard Yahweh speaking to him, saying again, “Elijah, why are you here?”
А кад то чу Илија, заклони лице своје плаштом и изашав стаде на вратима од пећине. И гле, дође му глас говорећи: Шта ћеш ти ту, Илија?
14 He replied again, “I have zealously served you, Yahweh, God Almighty. But the Israeli people have broken the agreement that they made with you. They have torn down your altars, and they have killed all of your prophets. I am the only one whom they have not killed, and now they are trying to kill me, too. [So I am running away from them].”
А он рече: Ревновах веома за Господа Бога над војскама; јер синови Израиљеви оставише завет Твој, Твоје олтаре развалише, и пророке Твоје побише мачем; а ја остах сам, па траже душу моју да ми је узму.
15 Then Yahweh told him, “Go back to the desert near Damascus. When you arrive there, anoint [with olive oil] a man named Hazael, [to appoint him] to be the king of Syria.
Тада му рече Господ: Иди, врати се својим путем у пустињу дамаштанску, и кад дођеш помажи Азаила за цара над сиријом.
16 Then anoint Jehu, the son of Nimshi, to be the king of Israel, and also anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat, from Abel-Meholah [town], to become my prophet after you are dead.
А Јуја, сина Нимсијиног, помажи за цара над Израиљем, а Јелисија, сина Сафатовог из Авел-Меоле помажи за пророка место себе.
17 Hazael’s army [will kill many people, and] those who escape from [being killed by] his army will be killed by Jehu’s [army], and those who escape from [being killed by] Jehu’s army will be killed by Elisha.
Јер ко утече од мача Азаиловог њега ће погубити Јуј; а ко утече од мача Јујевог њега ће погубити Јелисије.
18 But [you need to know that] there are still 7,000 people in Israel who have never bowed to [worship] Baal or kissed his [idol].”
Али сам оставио у Израиљу седам хиљада, који ни један не савише колена пред Валом, нити га устима својим целиваше.
19 So Elijah went [to Syria] and found Elisha as he was plowing a field with a team of oxen. There were eleven other men who were in front of him, plowing with teams of oxen in the same field. Elijah went to Elisha, and took off his own coat and put it on Elisha, [to show Elisha that he wanted him to take his place as a prophet. Then he started to walk away].
И отиде од њега и нађе Јелисија, сина Сафатовог где оре, и дванаест јармова пред њим, а сам беше код дванаестог; и идући мимо њ Илија баци на њ плашт свој.
20 Elisha left the oxen standing there and ran after Elijah, and said to him, “I will go with you, but first let me kiss my parents goodbye.” Elijah replied, “Okay, go home. But do not forget why I have [given my cloak] to you!”
А он остави волове, и отрча за Илијом и рече: Да целујем оца свог и матер своју; па ћу ићи за тобом. А он му рече: Иди, врати се, јер шта сам ти учинио?
21 So Elisha went back [to his oxen]. He killed them [and cut them in pieces] and used the wood from the plow to build a fire to roast the meat. He distributed the meat to the other people [in his town], and they all ate some. Then he went with Elijah and became his helper.
И он се врати од њега, и узе јарам волова и закла их, и на дрвима од плуга скува месо и даде га народу, те једоше; потом уставши отиде за Илијом и служаше му.
