2 Kings 1
1 After King Ahab died, [the country of] Moab rebelled against Israel.
А по смрти Ахавовој одметнуше се Моавци од Израиља.
2 One day, Ahaziah, [the new king of Israel, ] fell through the wooden slats/boards around the edge of the flat roof [of his palace] in Samaria. He was badly injured, so he summoned some messengers and told them, “Go to Ekron [city in Philistia], and ask their god Baalzebub whether I will (recover/become well).”
А Охозија паде кроз решетку из горње собе своје у Самарији, и разболе се; па посла посланике и рече им: Идите, питајте Велзевула бога акаронског хоћу ли оздравити од ове болести.
3 But an angel from Yahweh said to Elijah, the prophet from Tishbe [town], “The king of Samaria [is sending] some messengers [to Ekron]. Go and meet them and say to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, the god of those people, [whether you will recover]?
Али анђео Господњи рече Илији Тесвићанину: Устани, изађи на сусрет посланицима цара самаријског и реци им: Еда ли нема Бога у Израиљу, те идете да питате Велзевула бога у Акарону?
4 Yahweh says [that you should tell King Ahaziah] that he will not recover from his being injured; he will surely die.’”
А зато овако вели Господ: Нећеш се дигнути са постеље на коју си легао, него ћеш умрети. Потом отиде Илија.
5 [So Elijah went to meet] the messengers [and told that to them, and they] returned to the king [instead of going to Ekron]. The king asked them, “Why did you return [so soon]?”
А слуге се вратише к Охозији, и он им рече: Што сте се вратили?
6 They replied, “A man came to meet us, and said to us, ‘Return to the king who sent you and tell him that Yahweh says, “(Is it because there no God in Israel that you are sending [messengers] to Ekron to consult Baalzebub, their god?/You seem to think there is no God in Israel, with the result that you are sending [messengers] to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, their god, [whether you will recover].) [RHQ] [Go tell the king that] he will not recover from being injured; instead, he will surely die.”’”
А они му рекоше: Срете нас један човек, и рече нам: Идите, вратите се к цару који вас је послао, и реците му: Овако вели Господ: Еда ли нема Бога у Израиљу, те шаљеш да питаш Велзевула бога у Акарону? Зато нећеш се дигнути с постеље на коју си легао, него ћеш умрети.
7 The king said to them, “The man who came to meet you and told that to you, what did he look like?”
А он им рече: Какав беше на очи тај човек који вас срете и то вам рече?
8 They replied, “He was a hairy man and he had a [wide] leather belt around his waist.” The king exclaimed, “That was Elijah!”
А они му одговорише: Беше сав космат и опасан кожним појасом. А он рече: То је Илија Тесвићанин.
9 Then the king sent an officer with 50 soldiers to seize Elijah. They found Elijah sitting on the top of a hill. The officer called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come down here!”
Тада посла к њему педесетника с његовом педесеторицом; и он отиде к њему; и гле, он сеђаше наврх горе: и педесетник му рече: Човече Божји, цар је заповедио, сиђи.
10 But Elijah replied, “I am a prophet; so, I command that fire come down from the sky and burn up you and your 50 soldiers!” Immediately, fire came down from the sky and completely burned up the officer and his 50 [soldiers].
А Илија одговарајући рече педесетнику: Ако сам човек Божји, нека сиђе огањ с неба и прождре тебе и твоју педесеторицу. И сиђе огањ с неба и прождре њега и његову педесеторицу.
11 [When the king found out about that, ] he sent another officer with 50 more soldiers. They went [to where Elijah was], and the officer called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come down immediately!”
Опет посла к њему другог педесетника с његовом педесеторицом, који проговори и рече му: Човече Божји, цар је тако заповедио, сиђи брже.
12 But Elijah replied, “I am a prophet; [to prove that, ] I command that fire come down from the sky and kill you and your soldiers!” Then a fire from God came down from the sky and killed the officer and his soldiers.
А Илија одговори и рече им: Ако сам човек Божји, нека сиђе огањ с неба и прождре тебе и твоју педесеторицу. И сиђе огањ Божји с неба и прождре њега и његову педесеторицу.
13 [When the king heard about that] he sent another officer with 50 more soldiers. [They went to where Elijah was], and the officer prostrated himself in front of Elijah, and said to him, “Prophet, I plead with you, be kind to me and my 50 soldiers, and (do not kill us/allow us to remain alive)!
Тада опет посла трећег педесетника с његовом педесеторицом. А овај трећи педесетник кад дође, клече на колена своја пред Илијом, и молећи га рече му: Човече Божји, да ти је драга душа моја и душа ове педесеторице, слуга твојих.
14 [We know that] two times fire came down from the sky and killed officers and the 50 soldiers who were with them. So now, please be kind to me!”
Ето, сишао је огањ с неба и прождрао прва два педесетника с њиховом педесеторицом; али сада да ти је драга душа моја.
15 Then the angel from Yahweh said to Elijah, “Go down [and go] with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah went with them to the king.
А анђео Господњи рече Илији: Иди с њим, и не бој га се. И уста Илија и отиде с њим к цару.
16 [When Elijah arrived, ] he said to the king, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You sent messengers to go to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, their god, [whether you would recover]. You acted as though [RHQ] there is no God in Israel to consult. So you will not recover from being injured; instead, you are going to die!’”
И рече му: Овако вели Господ: зато што си слао посланике да питају Велзевула бога у Акарону као да нема Бога у Израиљу да би Га питао, нећеш се дигнути с постеље на коју си легао, него ћеш умрети.
17 So Ahaziah died, which is what Yahweh told Elijah would happen. Ahaziah’s [younger] brother Joram became the new king, when Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, had been ruling Judah for almost two years. Ahaziah’s brother became the king because Ahaziah had no son [to become the king].
И умре по речи Господњој, коју рече Илија, а на његово се место зацари Јорам, друге године царовања Јорама сина Јосафатовог над Јудом, јер он нема сина.
18 [If you want to know about] all the other things that Ahaziah did, they are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
А остала дела Охозијина што је чинио, нису ли записана у дневнику царева Израиљевих?
