1 Kings 22
1 For almost three years there was no war between Syria and Israel.
Tri leta so nadaljevali brez vojne med Sirijo in Izraelom.
2 Then King Jehoshaphat, who ruled Judah, went to [visit] King Ahab, who ruled Israel.
V tretjem letu pa se je pripetilo, da je Judov kralj Józafat prišel dol k Izraelovemu kralju.
3 [While they were talking, ] Ahab said to his officials, “Do you realize that the Syrians are still occupying our city of Ramoth in [the] Gilead [region]? And we are doing nothing to retake that city!”
Izraelov kralj je rekel svojim služabnikom: »Ali veste, da je Ramót v Gileádu naš, in mi bomo mirni in ga ne bomo vzeli iz roke sirskega kralja?«
4 Then he turned to Jehoshaphat and asked, “Will your [army] join my [army] to fight against the people of Ramoth [and retake that city]?” Jehoshaphat replied, “[Certainly] I [will do whatever] you [want], and you may command my troops. You may take my horses into battle, also.”
Józafatu je rekel: »Hočeš z menoj iti v bitko k Ramót Gileádu?« Józafat je Izraelovemu kralju rekel: »Jaz sem, kakor si ti, moje ljudstvo kakor tvoje ljudstvo, moji konji kakor tvoji konji.«
5 Then he added, “But we should ask Yahweh first, to find out what he wants us to do.”
Józafat je Izraelovemu kralju rekel: »Prosim te, danes poizvedi pri besedi od Gospoda.«
6 So Ahab summoned about 400 of his prophets together, and he asked them, “Should my [army] go to fight the people in Ramoth and retake that city, or not?” They answered, “Yes, go [and attack them], because God will enable your [army] to defeat them.”
Potem je Izraelov kralj zbral skupaj preroke, okoli štiristo mož in jim rekel: »Ali naj grem zoper Ramót Gileád v bitko ali naj to opustim?« Rekli so: »Pojdi gor, kajti Gospod ga bo izročil v kraljevo roko.«
7 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of Yahweh here whom we can ask?”
Józafat je rekel: » Ali tukaj ni več Gospodovega preroka, da bi lahko poizvedeli od njega?«
8 The King of Israel replied, “There is one man we can talk to. We can ask him if he can find out what Yahweh wants. His name is Micaiah; he is the son of Imlah. But I hate him, because when he (prophesies/tells what God says to him) he never says [that] anything good [will happen] to me. He always predicts [that] bad things [will happen to me].” Jehoshaphat replied, “King Ahab, you should not say that!”
Izraelov kralj je rekel Józafatu: » Tukaj je še en mož, Jimlájev sin Miha, po katerem bi lahko poizvedeli od Gospoda. Toda sovražim ga, kajti glede mene ni dobro prerokoval, temveč zlo.« Józafat je rekel: »Naj kralj ne govori tako.«
9 So the king of Israel told one of his officers to summon Micaiah immediately.
Potem je Izraelov kralj poklical častnika in rekel: »Podvizaj sem Jimlájevega sina Miha.«
10 The king of Israel and the king of Judah were wearing their (royal robes/robes that showed that they were kings). They were sitting on thrones at the place where people threshed grain, near the gate of Samaria [city]. All of Ahab’s prophets were standing in front of the kings, (prophesying/predicting what was going to happen).
Izraelov kralj in Judov kralj Józafat sta sedela vsak na svojem prestolu, oblečena sta imela svoja svečana oblačila, na odprtem prostoru, pri vhodu velikih vrat Samarije in vsi preroki so prerokovali pred njima.
11 One of them, whose name was Zedekiah, the son of Kenaanah, had made from iron [something that resembled] horns of a bull. Then he proclaimed [to Ahab], “This is what Yahweh says: ‘With horns like these your [army] will keep attacking the Syrians [like a bull attacks another animal] [MET], until you completely destroy them!’”
Cidkijá, Kenaanájev sin, si je naredil rogove iz železa in rekel: »Tako govori Gospod. ›S temi boš bodel Sirce, dokler jih ne boš použil.‹«
12 All the [other] prophets [of Ahab] agreed. They said, “Yes! If you go up to attack Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], you will be successful, because Yahweh will enable you to defeat them!”
Vsi preroki so prerokovali tako, rekoč: »Pojdi gor k Ramót Gileádu in bodi uspešen, kajti Gospod ga bo izročil v kraljevo roko.«
13 Meanwhile, the messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, “Listen to me! All the other prophets are predicting that the king’s army will defeat the Syrians. So be sure that you agree with them and say (what will be favorable/that the king’s army will be successful).”
Poslanec, ki je odšel, da pokliče Miha, mu je spregovoril, rekoč: »Glej torej, besede prerokov kralju soglasno razglašajo dobro. Naj bo tvoja beseda, prosim te, kakor beseda enega izmed njih in govori to, kar je dobro.«
14 But Micaiah replied, “As surely as Yahweh lives, I will tell him only what Yahweh tells me to say.”
Miha pa je rekel: » Kakor živi Gospod, kar mi Gospod reče, to bom govoril.«
15 When Micaiah came to Ahab, Ahab asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to fight against [the people of] Ramoth, or not?” Micaiah replied, “Sure, go! Yahweh will enable your army to defeat them!”
Tako je prišel h kralju in kralj mu je rekel: »Miha ali naj gremo zoper Ramót Gileád, da se bojujemo ali naj opustimo?« Ta mu je odgovoril: »Pojdi in bodi uspešen, kajti Gospod ga bo izročil v kraljevo roko.«
16 But King Ahab [realized that Micaiah was (lying/being sarcastic), so he] said to Micaiah, “I have told you [RHQ] many times that you must always tell only the truth when you say what Yahweh [has revealed to you]!”
Kralj pa mu je rekel: »Kolikokrat te bom zaklinjal, da mi ne poveš ničesar razen tega, kar je resnično v Gospodovem imenu?«
17 So Micaiah said to him, “[The truth is that] in a vision I saw all the troops of Israel scattered on the mountains. They seemed to be like sheep that did not have a shepherd. And Yahweh said, ‘Their master has been killed. So tell them all to go home peacefully.’”
In ta je rekel: »Videl sem vsega Izraela razkropljenega na hribih kakor ovce, ki nimajo pastirja. Gospod je rekel: ›Ti nimajo gospodarja. Naj se v miru vrnejo, vsak mož k svoji hiši.‹«
18 Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I told you [RHQ] that he never predicts [that] anything good [will happen to me]! He [always] predicts [that] bad things [will happen to me].”
Izraelov kralj je rekel Józafatu: »Ali ti nisem rekel, da glede mene ne bo prerokoval nobene dobre stvari, temveč zlo?«
19 But Micaiah continued, saying, “Listen to what Yahweh showed to me! [In a vision] I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, with all the armies of heaven surrounding him, on his right side and on his left side.
Rekel je: »Poslušaj torej Gospodovo besedo: ›Videl sem Gospoda sedeti na njegovem prestolu in vso nebeško vojsko stati pri njem, na njegovi desnici in na njegovi levici.‹
20 And Yahweh said, ‘Who can persuade Ahab to go to fight against the people of Ramoth, in order that he may be killed there?’ Some suggested one thing, and others suggested something else.
Gospod je rekel: ›Kdo bo pregovoril Ahába, da bo lahko šel gor in padel pri Ramót Gileádu?‹ Nekdo je rekel na ta način, drugi pa na drug način.
21 Finally one [evil] spirit came to Yahweh and said, ‘I can do it!’
Tam pa je prišel naprej duh in obstal pred Gospodom ter rekel: ›Jaz ga bom prepričal.‹
22 Yahweh asked him, ‘How will you do it?’ The spirit replied, ‘I will go and inspire all of Ahab’s prophets to tell lies.’ Yahweh said, ‘You will be successful; go and do it!’
Gospod mu je rekel: ›S čim?‹ Rekel je: ›Šel bom naprej in bom lažniv duh v ustih vseh njegovih prerokov.‹ Rekel je: ›Ti ga boš prepričal in tudi prevladal. Pojdi naprej in stori tako.‹
23 So now [I tell you that] Yahweh has caused all of your prophets to lie to you. Yahweh has decided that something terrible will happen to you.”
Zdaj torej glej, Gospod je položil lažnivega duha v usta vseh teh tvojih prerokov in Gospod je glede tebe govoril zlo.«
24 Then Zedekiah walked over to Micaiah and slapped him on his face. He said, “Do you think that Yahweh’s Spirit left me in order to speak to you?” [RHQ]
Toda Kenaanájev sin Cidkijá je prišel bliže in Miha udaril po licu ter rekel: »Katero pot je Gospodov Duh odšel od mene, da govori tebi?«
25 Micaiah replied, “You will find out for yourself [which of us Yahweh’s Spirit has truly spoken to] on the day when you go into a room of some house to hide [from the Syrian troops]!”
Miha je rekel: »Glej, videl boš tisti dan, ko boš šel v najnotranjejšo sobo, da se skriješ.«
26 King Ahab commanded [his soldiers], “Seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of this city, and to my son Joash.
Izraelov kralj je rekel: »Vzemi Miha in ga odvedi nazaj k Amónu, voditelju mesta in h kraljevemu sinu Joášu
27 Tell them that I have commanded that they should put this man in prison and give him only bread and water. Do not give him anything else to eat until I return safely from the battle!”
ter reci: ›Tako govori kralj: ›Postavita tegale v ječo in ga hranita s kruhom stiske in z vodo stiske, dokler ne pridem v miru.‹«
28 Micaiah replied, “If you return safely, [it will be clear that] it was not Yahweh who told me what to say to you!” Then he said [to all those who were standing there], “Do not forget what I have said [to King Ahab]!”
Miha je rekel: »Če se sploh vrneš v miru, Gospod ni govoril po meni.« In rekel je: »Prisluhni, oh ljudstvo, vsakdo izmed vas.«
29 So the King of Israel and the King of Judah [led their armies] to Ramoth, in [the] Gilead [region].
Tako sta Izraelov kralj in Judov kralj Józafat odšla gor k Ramót Gileádu.
30 King Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I will put on different clothes, [in order that no one will recognize that I am the king]. But you should wear your (royal robe/robe that shows that you are a king).” So Ahab disguised himself, and they both went into the battle.
Izraelov kralj je rekel Józafatu: »Jaz se bom zamaskiral in vstopil v bitko, toda ti si nadeni svoja svečana oblačila.« Izraelov kralj se je zamaskiral in odšel v bitko.«
31 The King of Syria told this to his thirty-two men who were driving the chariots: “Attack only the king of Israel!”
Toda sirski kralj je zapovedal svojim dvaintridesetim poveljnikom, ki so poveljevali nad njegovimi bojnimi vozovi, rekoč: »Ne borite se niti z majhnim niti z velikim, razen samo z Izraelovim kraljem.«
32 So when the men who were driving the Syrian chariots saw Jehoshaphat [wearing (his royal robes/clothes that showed he was the king)], they pursued him. They shouted, “There is the king of Israel!” But when Jehoshaphat cried out,
Pripetilo se je, ko so poveljniki bojnih vozov zagledali Józafata, da so rekli: »To je zagotovo Izraelov kralj.« Obrnili so se vstran, da se bojujejo zoper njega. Józafat pa je zavpil.
33 they realized that he was not the king of Israel. So they stopped pursuing him.
Pripetilo se je, ko so poveljniki bojnih vozov zaznali, da to ni bil Izraelov kralj, da so se obrnili od zasledovanja za njim.
34 But one [Syrian] soldier shot an arrow at Ahab, without knowing that it was Ahab. The arrow struck Ahab between the places where the parts of his armor joined together. Ahab told the driver of his chariot, “Turn the chariot around and take me out of here! I have been severely wounded!”
Nek mož pa je preprosto napel lok in Izraelovega kralja zadel med člene prsnega oklepa. Zato je vozniku svojega bojnega voza rekel: »Obrni svojo roko in me odvedi ven iz bojišča, kajti ranjen sem.«
35 The battle continued all the day. Ahab was sitting propped up in his chariot, facing the Syrian troops. The blood from his wound ran down to the floor of the chariot. And late in the afternoon he died.
Bitka je ta dan narasla in kralj je ostal pokonci na svojem bojnem vozu zoper Sirce in zvečer umrl. Kri iz rane je tekla na sredo bojnega voza.
36 Just as the sun was going down, someone among the Israeli troops shouted, “[The battle is ended!] Everyone should return home!”
Okoli sončnega zahoda je po vsej vojski šel razglas, rekoč: »Vsak mož k svojemu mestu in vsak mož k svoji lastni deželi.«
37 So king Ahab died, and they took his body [in the chariot] to Samaria [city] and buried his body there.
Tako je kralj umrl in bil priveden v Samarijo in kralja so pokopali v Samariji.
38 They washed his chariot alongside the pool in Samaria, a pool where the prostitutes bathed. And dogs [came and] licked the king’s blood, just like Yahweh had predicted would happen.
V samarijskem ribniku je nekdo umival bojni voz in psi so lizali njegovo kri in umili so njegovo bojno opremo, glede na Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je govoril.
39 The account/record of the other things that happened while Ahab was ruling, and about the palace decorated with much ivory [that they built for him], and the cities that were built for him, was written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Torej preostala izmed Ahábovih dejanj in vse, kar je storil in slonokoščena hiša, ki jo je naredil in vsa mesta, ki jih je zgradil, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Izraelovih kraljev?
40 When Ahab died, his body was buried where his ancestors were buried. Then his son Ahaziah became king.
Tako je Aháb zaspal s svojimi očeti in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Ahazjá.
41 Before King Ahab died, when he had been ruling in Israel for four years, Asa’s son Jehoshaphat started to rule in Judah.
V četrtem letu Izraelovega kralja Ahába je nad Judom začel kraljevati Asájev sin Józafat.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
Józafat je bil star petintrideset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval petindvajset let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Azúba, Šilhíjeva hči.
43 Jehoshaphat was a good king, just like his father Asa had been. He did things that pleased Yahweh. But while he was king, he did not remove all the pagan altars [that the people had built] on the hilltops. So the people continued to offer sacrifices [to idols] on those altars and burned incense there.
Hodil je po vseh poteh svojega očeta Asája. Ni se obrnil vstran od tega; delal je to, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh. Kljub temu visoki kraji niso bili odstranjeni, kajti ljudstvo je na visokih krajih še vedno darovalo in zažigalo kadilo.
44 Jehoshaphat also made [a] peace [agreement] with the king of Israel.
Józafat je z Izraelovim kraljem sklenil mir.
45 All the other things that happened while Jehoshaphat was ruling, and the great things that he did and the victories his [troops] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Torej preostala izmed Józafatovih dejanj in njegova moč, ki jo je pokazal in kako se je bojeval, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Judovih kraljev?
46 Jehoshaphat’s father Asa [had tried to expel] the male prostitutes that stayed at the pagan shrines, but some of them were still there. Jehoshaphat got rid of them.
Preostanek posvečenih vlačugarjev, ki so preostali v dneh njegovega očeta Asája, je izgnal iz dežele.
47 At that time, there was no king in Edom; a ruler who had been appointed by Jehoshaphat ruled there.
Potem ni bilo kralja v Edómu. Namestnik je bil kralj.
48 Jehoshaphat [ordered some Israeli men to] build a fleet/group of ships to sail [south] to [the] Ophir [region] to get gold. But they were wrecked at Ezion-Geber/Elath, so the ships never sailed.
Józafat je naredil taršíške ladje, da gredo do Ofírja po zlato. Toda niso odšli, kajti ladje so se razbile pri Ecjón Geberju.
49 Before the ships were wrecked, Ahab’s son Ahaziah suggested to Jehoshaphat, “Allow my sailors to go with your sailors,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
Potem je Ahábov sin Ahazjá Józafatu rekel: »Naj moji služabniki gredo s tvojimi služabniki na ladje.« Józafat pa ni hotel.
50 When Jehoshaphat died, his [body] was buried where his ancestors were buried in [Jerusalem, ] the city where King David [had ruled]. Then Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became king.
Józafat je zaspal s svojimi očeti in je bil pokopan s svojimi očeti v mestu svojega očeta Davida. Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Jehorám.
51 Before King Jehoshaphat died, when he had been ruling in Judah for 17 years, Ahab’s son Ahaziah began to rule in Israel. Ahaziah ruled in Samaria for two years.
Ahábov sin Ahazjá je začel kraljevati nad Izraelom v Samariji v sedemnajstem letu Judovega kralja Józafata in nad Izraelom je kraljeval dve leti.
52 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, doing the [evil] things that his father and mother had done and the evil things that Jeroboam had done—the king who had led all the Israeli people to sin [by worshiping idols].
Počel je zlo v Gospodovih očeh in hodil po poti svojega očeta, po poti svoje matere in po poti Nebátovega sina Jerobeáma, ki je Izraela pripravil, da greši,
53 Ahaziah bowed in front of Baal’s idol and worshiped it. That caused Yahweh, the God who was the true God of the Israeli people, to become very angry, just as Ahaziah’s father had caused Yahweh to become angry.
kajti služil je Báalu, ga oboževal in do jeze dražil Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, glede na vse, kar je počel njegov oče.
