2 Kings 7
1 Elisha replied to the king, “Listen to what Yahweh says: ‘He says that by this time tomorrow, at the marketplace here in Samaria, you will be able to buy (ten pounds/five kg.) of fine wheat or (20 pounds/ten kg.) of barley for [only] one piece of silver.’”
Тада рече Јелисије: Чујте реч Господњу: Тако вели Господ: Сутра ће у ово доба бити мера белог брашна за сикал а две мере јечма за сикал на вратима самаријским.
2 The king’s officer said to Elijah, “That cannot happen! Even if Yahweh himself would open the windows of the sky [and send grain down to us], that certainly could not [RHQ] happen!” Elisha replied, “[Because you said that, ] you [SYN] will see it happen, but you will not be able to eat any of the food!”
А војвода на ког се руку цар наслањаше, одговори човеку Божијем и рече: Да Господ начини окна на небу, би ли могло то бити? А Јелисије рече: Ето, ти ћеш видети својим очима, али га нећеш јести.
3 That day there were four men who had (leprosy/a dreaded skin disease) who were sitting outside the gate of Samaria [city. They said to each other, “(Why should we] wait here until we die?/[It is ridiculous for us to] wait here until we die.) [RHQ]
А беху на вратима четири човека губава, и рекоше један другом: Што седимо овде да умремо?
4 If we go into the city, we will die there, because there is no food there. If we remain sitting here, we will die here. So let’s go to where the army of Syria has set up their tents. If they kill us, we will die. But if they allow us to remain alive, we will not die.”
Да кажемо: Да уђемо у град, глад је у граду, те ћемо умрети онде: а да останемо овде, опет ћемо умрети; него хајде да ускочимо у логор сирски: ако нас оставе у животу, остаћемо у животу, ако ли нас погубе, погинућемо.
5 So when it was getting dark, those four men went to the camp where the army of Syria had set up their tents. But when they reached the camp, they saw that there was no one there!
И тако, уставши у сумрак пођоше у логор сирски, и дођоше до краја логора сирског, и гле, не беше никога.
6 What had happened was that Yahweh had caused the army of Syria to hear something that sounded like a large army marching with chariots and horses. So they said to each other, “Listen! The king of Israel has hired the kings of Egypt and the Heth people-group [and their armies], and they have come to attack us!”
Јер Господ учини те се у логору сирском чу лупа кола и коња и велике војске, те рекоше један другом: Ето цар је Израиљев најмио на нас цареве хетејске и цареве мисирске да ударе на нас.
7 So they all ran away that evening and left their tents and their horses and donkeys there, because [they were afraid that] they would be killed [if they stayed there].
Те се подигоше и побегоше по мраку оставивши шаторе своје и коње своје и магарце своје и логор као што је био, и побегоше ради душа својих.
8 When those four lepers came to the edge of the area where the soldiers of Syria had set up their tents, they went into one tent, [and saw all the things that had been left there]. So they ate and drank what was there, and they took the silver and the gold and clothes. Then they went [outside the tent] and hid those things. Then they entered another tent, and took things from there, and then went outside and hid them, also.
Па кад дођоше губавци на крај логора, уђоше у један шатор, и наједоше се и напише се, и покупише из њега сребро и злато и хаљине, и отидоше те сакрише. Па се вратише и уђоше у други шатор, па покупише и из њега, и отидоше те сакрише.
9 But then they said to each other, “We are not doing what is right. We have good news [to tell others] today. If we do not tell it to anyone now, and if we wait until morning to tell it, we will certainly be punished [by Yahweh]. So let’s go right now to the palace and tell it to the king’s officials!”
Тада рекоше међу собом: Не радимо добро; овај је дан дан добрих гласова; а ми ћутимо. Ако ушчекамо до зоре, стигнуће нас безакоње. Зато сада хајде да идемо и јавимо дому царевом.
10 So they went to the guards at the city gates and called out to them, “We went to where the army of Syria had set up their tents, but we did not see or hear anyone there. Their horses and donkeys were still tied up, but their tents were all deserted/abandoned!”
И тако дошавши дозваше вратара градског и казаше му говорећи: Идосмо у логор сирски, и гле, нема никога, ни гласа човечијег; него коњи повезани и магарци повезани, и шатори како су били.
11 The guards shouted the news, and some people [who heard it] went to the palace and reported it there.
А он дозва остале вратаре, и јавише у дом царев.
12 [When] the king [heard it, he] got up out of his bed and said to his officials, “I will tell you what the army of Syria is planning to do. They know that we have no food here, so they have left their tents and are hiding in the fields. They think that we will leave the city [to find some food], and then they will capture us and capture the city.”
А цар уставши по ноћи рече слугама својим: Казаћу вам сада шта су нам учинили Сирци. Знају да гладујемо, зато отидоше из логора да се сакрију у пољу говорећи: Кад изиђу из града, похватаћемо их живе и ући ћемо у град.
13 But one of his officials said, “Many of our Israeli people have already died [from (hunger/not having anything to eat]). If those of us who are still alive all stay here, we also will die anyway. So let’s send some men with five of our horses that are still alive to go and see [what has really happened].”
А један од слуга његових одговори и рече: Да узмемо пет осталих коња што још има у граду; гле, то је све што је остало од мноштва коња израиљских; то је све што није изгинуло од мноштва коња израиљских; да пошаљемо да видимо.
14 So they chose some men and told them to go in a chariot and find out what had happened to the army of Syria.
И узеше два коња колска, које посла цар за војском сирском, говорећи: Идите и видите.
15 They went as far as the Jordan [River]. All along the road they saw clothes and equipment that the soldiers from Syria had thrown away while they were running away very quickly. So the men returned to the king and reported [what they had seen].
И отидоше за њима до Јордана, и гле, по свему путу беше пуно хаљина и судова, које побацаше Сирци у хитњи. Тада се вратише посланици и јавише цару.
16 Then many of the people of Samaria also went [out of the city and went] to where the army of Syria had previously set up their tents. They entered all the tents and took everything. [So there was now plenty of everything!] As a result people could buy ten pounds of fine wheat or 20 pounds of barley for only one piece of silver, which was what Yahweh had said would happen!
Тада изађе народ и разграби логор сирски; и беше мера белог брашна за сикал, и две мере јечма за сикал, по речи Господњој.
17 The king of Israel had appointed the officer who was his assistant to supervise what was happening at the marketplace. But as he was standing near the gate, all the people [who were rushing outside the city] trampled on him, and he died, which was what Elisha had said would happen to him when Elisha previously went to talk to the king.
И цар постави на врата оног војводу, на ког се руку наслањаше, а народ га изгази на вратима, те умре, по речи човека Божијег, коју рече кад цар к њему дође.
18 Elisha had told him that by the next day there would be plenty of food, with the result that anyone could buy ten pounds of fine wheat or 20 pounds of barley for only one piece of silver.
Јер кад човек Божји рече цару: Две мере јечма за сикал и мера белог брашна за сикал биће сутра у ово доба на вратима самаријским,
19 And the officer had answered, “That certainly cannot [RHQ] happen! Even if Yahweh himself would open the sky and send down some grain, that could not happen.” And Elisha had replied, “[Because you said that, ] you [SYN] will see it happen, but you will not be able to eat any of the food!”
А онај војвода одговори човеку Божијем говорећи: Да Господ начини окна на небу, би ли могло бити шта кажеш? А Јелисије рече: Ти ћеш видети својим очима, али га нећеш јести.
20 And that is what happened to him. The people [who were rushing out of] the city gate trampled on him, and he died.
И зби му се то, јер га изгази народ на вратима, те умре.
