< 2 Kings 4 >

1 One day the widow of one of [Yahweh’s] prophets came to Elisha and cried out to him, “My husband, who worked with you, is dead. You know that he revered Yahweh [very much]. But now a man to whom he owed a lot of money has come to me. [And because I cannot pay back the money, he is threatening] to take away my two sons to be his slaves [as payment for what I owe him]!”
А једна између жена синова пророчких повика к Јелисију говорећи: Слуга твој, муж мој, умре, и ти знаш да се слуга твој бојао Господа: па сада дође рукодавалац да ми узме два сина у робље.
2 Elisha replied, “What can I do to help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” She replied, “We have only a container of [olive] oil; we have nothing else.”
А Јелисије јој рече: Шта ћу ти? Кажи ми шта имаш у кући? А она рече: Слушкиња твоја нема у кући ништа до судић уља.
3 Elisha said, “Go to your neighbors and borrow from them as many empty jars as you can.
А он јој рече: Иди, ишти у наруч празних судова у свих суседа својих, немој мало да иштеш.
4 Then take the jars into your house with your sons. Shut the door. Then pour olive oil from your container into the other jars. When each jar is full, set it aside [and fill another jar. Keep doing that until all the jars are full].”
Па отиди, и затвори се у кућу са синовима својим, па онда наливај у све судове, и кад се који напуни, кажи нека уклоне.
5 [So she did what Elisha told her to do]. Her sons kept bringing jars to her, and she kept filling them.
И она отиде од њега, и затвори се у кућу са синовима својим; они јој додаваху а она наливаше.
6 Soon all the jars were full. So she said to one of her sons, “Bring me another jar!” But he replied, “There are no more jars!” And then the olive oil stopped flowing.
А кад се судови напунише, она рече сину свом: Дај још један суд. А он јој рече: Нема више. Тада стаде уље.
7 When she told Elijah [what had happened], he said to her, “Now sell the jars of oil. And [with the money you get, ] pay what you owe, and there will be enough extra money to keep buying food for yourself and your sons.” [So she did that].
Потом она отиде и каза човеку Божијем; а он јој рече: Иди, продај уље, и одужи се; а шта претече, оним се храни са својим синовима.
8 One day Elisha went to Shunem [town]. There was a wealthy woman who lived there [with her husband]. One day she invited Elisha to her house for a meal. [Elisha went there and] from then on, every time Elisha was in Shunem, he went to their house to eat a meal.
После тога једном иђаше Јелисије кроз Сунам, а онде беше богата жена, која га устави да једе хлеба; и отада кад год пролажаше, навраћаше се к њој да једе хлеба.
9 One day the woman said to her husband, “I am sure that this man who often comes here is a prophet [who brings messages] from God.
И она рече мужу свом: Гле, видим да је свет човек Божји овај што све пролази овуда.
10 I think we should make a small room for him on our [flat] roof, and put a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp in it. If we do that, whenever he comes here, he will have a place to stay.” [So they did that].
Да начинимо малу клет, и да му наместимо постељу и сто и столицу и свећњак, па кад дође к нама, нека се ту склони.
11 One day Elisha returned to Shunem, and he went up to that room to rest.
Потом он дође једном онамо, и ушавши у клет почину онде.
12 He said to his servant Gehazi, “Tell the woman that I want to speak to her.” [So the servant went and told her]. When she came [to the doorway of Elisha’s room],
И рече момку свом Гијезију: Зови Сунамку. Он је дозва; и она стаде пред њим.
13 Elisha said to Gehazi, “Tell her that we both appreciate all the kind things that she has done for us. Then ask her what we can do for her. Ask, ‘Do you want [me to go to] the king or the army commander, to request something for you?’” [Gehazi told her, ] and she replied, “No, [he does not need to do that, because] my family/relatives are able to give me what I need.”
И он рече Гијезију: Кажи јој: Ето стараш се за нас свакојако; шта хоћеш да ти учиним? Имаш ли шта да говорим цару или војводи? А она рече: Ја живим сред свог народа.
14 [Later, ] Elisha asked Gehazi, “What do you think that we can do for that woman?” He replied, “She does not have a son, and her husband is an old man. [So maybe we should ask Yahweh to enable her to have a son].”
А он рече: Шта бих јој дакле учинио? А Гијезије рече: Ето нема сина, а муж јој је стар.
15 Elisha told Gehazi, “Call her back again.” [So Gehazi went and called her]. And when the woman returned, as she stood in the doorway,
А он рече: Зови је. И он је дозва, и она стаде на вратима.
16 Elisha said to her, “About this time next year you will be holding your [infant] son in your arms.” But she protested, “O, sir, you are a prophet [who brings messages] from God, so please do not deceive/lie to me by saying things like that!”
А он рече: До године у ово доба грлићеш сина. А она рече: Немој господару мој, човече Божји, немој варати слушкиње своје.
17 But a few months later, the woman became pregnant, and she gave birth to a son at that time the following year, just like Elisha had predicted.
И затрудне жена, и роди сина друге године у исто доба, као што јој рече Јелисије.
18 When the child was older, one day he went out to the fields to see his father, who was [working] with the men who were harvesting [grain].
И дете одрасте. И једном изађе к оцу свом к жетеоцима;
19 [Suddenly] the boy exclaimed, “My head [hurts]! My head [hurts a lot]!” His father said to one of the servants, “Carry him home to his mother!”
И рече оцу свом: Јаох глава, јаох глава! А он рече момку: Носи га матери.
20 So the servant carried him home, and his mother held him on her lap. But at noontime the boy died.
И он га узе и однесе матери његовој, и лежа на крилу њеном до подне, па умре.
21 She carried him up [the steps] to the prophet’s room and laid him on the bed. She left him there and went out and shut the door.
Тада отиде она горе, и намести га у постељу човека Божјег, и затворивши га изађе.
22 She then called out to her husband, saying, “Send to me one of the servants and a donkey, so that I can ride [on it] quickly to the prophet, and then come back!” [But she did not tell her husband that their son had died].
Потом викну мужа свог и рече му: Пошљи ми једног момка и једну магарицу да отрчим до човека Божјег и да се вратим.
23 Her husband [called out to her and] said, “Why [do you want to go] today? This is not the day when we celebrate the Festival of the New Moon, and it is not a Sabbath day!” But she only replied, “[Just do what I requested and] everything will be all right.”
А он рече: Зашто данас хоћеш да идеш к њему? Нити је младина ни субота. А она рече: Не брини се.
24 So she [told the servant to] put saddles on [two] donkeys, and as they left, she said, “Hurry! Do not slow down unless t tell you to do that!”
И она осамаривши магарицу рече момку свом: Води и иди и немој застајати мене ради на путу докле ти не кажем.
25 As they approached Carmel Mountain, where Elisha was, Elisha saw her in the distance. He said to Gehazi, “Look, the woman from Shunem is coming!
Тако пошавши дође човеку Божјем на гору кармилску. А кад је човек Божји угледа где иде к њему, рече Гијезију слузи свом: Ево Сунамке.
26 Run to her, and ask her if everything is all right with her and her husband and with her child!” [So Gehazi ran to her and asked her, but she did not tell Gehazi anything.] She only said, “Yes, everything is fine.”
Трчи сад пред њу и реци јој: Јеси ли здраво? Је ли здраво муж твој? Је ли здраво син твој? А она рече: Здраво смо.
27 But when she came to where Elisha was, she [prostrated herself on the ground in front of Elisha and] took hold of his feet. Gehazi started to push her away, but Elisha said, “(Do not push her away/Leave her alone)! Something is troubling her very much, but Yahweh has not told me what it is.”
А кад дође к човеку Божјем на гору, загрли му ноге, а Гијезије приступи да је отера; али човек Божји рече: Остави је, јер јој је душа у јаду, а Господ сакри од мене и не јави ми.
28 Then she said to Elisha, “O, sir, I did not ask you to enable me to give birth to a son [RHQ]. And I told you not to lie to me about that!” [RHQ]
А она рече: Јесам ли искала сина од господара свог? Нисам ли казала: Немој ме варати?
29 Then Elisha [realized that something must have happened to her son. So he] said to Gehazi, “Get ready [to leave immediately]. Take my staff/walking stick and go [to her home]. Do not [stop to] talk to anyone on the way. Go quickly [to where her son is] and lay the staff on the child’s face. [If you do that, perhaps Yahweh will enable him to be well].”
А он рече Гијезију: Опаши се и узми штап мој у руку, па иди; ако сретнеш кога, немој га поздрављати, и ако те ко поздрави, немој му одговарати, и метни мој штап на лице детету.
30 But the boy’s mother said, “Just [as certain] as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not go home if you do not go with me.” So Elisha returned with her [to her home].
А мати детиња рече: Тако да је жив Господ и тако да је жива душа твоја, нећу те се оставити. Тада он уста и пође за њом.
31 Gehazi hurried quickly, and [when he got to the woman’s home, ] he laid the staff/walking stick on the child’s face, but the child did not move or say anything. So Gehazi returned to meet Elisha [along the road], and told him, “The child is still dead.”
А Гијезије отиде напред и метну штап на лице детету, али не би гласа ни осећаја. Тада се врати преда њ, и јави му говорећи: Не пробуди се дете.
32 When Elisha reached the house, he saw that the boy was lying dead on his bed.
И Јелисије уђе у кућу, и гле, дете мртво лежи на његовој постељи.
33 Elisha went into the room by himself and shut the door and prayed to Yahweh.
И ушавши затвори се с дететом, и помоли се Господу.
34 Then he lay down on the boy’s body, and put his mouth on the boy’s mouth, and put his eyes on the boy’s eyes, and put his hands on the boy’s hands. Then the boy’s body started to become warm!
Потом стаде на постељу и леже на дете метнув уста своја на уста детету, и очи своје на очи његове, и дланове своје на његове дланове, и пружи се над њим, те се загреја тело детету.
35 Elisha got up and walked back and forth in the room [several times]. Then he stretched his body on the boy’s body again. The boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes!
Потом уста, и пређе по кући једном тамо и једном амо, потом отиде опет и пружи се над дететом. И кихну дете седам пута, и отвори дете очи своје.
36 Then Elisha summoned Gehazi. He said, “Call the boy’s mother!” [So Gehazi went and called her, ] and when she came in, Elisha said, “Here, take your son!”
Тада дозва Гијезија и рече му: Зови Сунамку. И он је дозва, те дође к њему. И он јој рече: Узми сина свог.
37 She [gratefully] prostrated herself at Elisha’s feet. Then she picked up her son and carried him downstairs.
И она ушавши паде к ногама његовим, и поклони му се до земље, и узевши сина свог отиде.
38 Then Elisha returned to Gilgal. But at that time there was (a famine/very little food) in that area. One day as the group of prophets was sitting in front of Elisha [listening to what he was teaching], he said to his servant, “Put a large pot on [the stove] and make some stew for these men.”
Потом врати се Јелисије у Галгал. А беше глад у оној земљи, и синови пророчки сеђаху пред њим; а он рече момку свом: Пристави велики лонац и скувај зеља синовима пророчким.
39 One of the prophets went out to the fields to gather some vegetables. But he gathered [only] some wild gourds and put them in his cloak and brought them back. He shredded them and put them in the pot, but he did not know that the gourds were poisonous.
А један отиде у поље да набере зеља, и нађе дивљу лозу и набра с ње дивљих тиквица пун плашт, и дошавши сасече их у лонац где беше зеље, јер их не познаваху.
40 He served the stew to the prophets, but after the men had eaten only a couple bites, they cried out, “Elisha, there is something in the pot that will kill us!” So they would not eat it.
И усуше људима да једу; а кад стадоше јести оног зеља, повикаше говорећи: Смрт је у лонцу, човече Божји! И не могаху јести.
41 Elisha said, “Bring me some flour.” [They brought him some, and] he threw it in the pot and he said, “It is all right now. You can eat it.” And they ate it, and it did not harm them.
А он рече: Донесите брашна. И сасу брашно у лонац, и рече: Успи људима нека једу. И не би више никаквог зла у лонцу.
42 One day a man from Baal-Shalishah [town] brought to Elisha a sack of freshly cut grain and 20 loaves of barley bread, made from the first grain that they harvested [that year]. Elisha said [to his servant], “Give it to the group of prophets, so that they can eat it.”
А дође неко из Вал-Салисе, и донесе човеку Божјем хлеба од првина, двадесет хлебова јечмених, и нових зрна у класу. А он рече: Постави народу, нека једу.
43 But his servant exclaimed, “Do you think that we can feed 100 of us prophets with only that much?” [RHQ] But Elisha replied, “Give it to the prophets so that they can eat it, because Yahweh says that there will be plenty for all of them, and there will be some left over!”
А слуга му рече: Како ћу то поставити пред сто људи? Опет рече: Постави народу, нека једу; јер је тако казао Господ: Јешће, и претећи ће.
44 After his servant gave it to the prophets, they ate [all that they wanted], and there was food left over, just as Yahweh had promised.
А он им постави, те једоше; и претече по речи Господњој.
