2 Kings 8
1 After Elisha caused the son of the woman from Shunem [town] to become alive again, he told her that she should leave with her family and live somewhere else for a while, because Yahweh was going to (send a famine/cause food to become very scarce) in the land. He said that the famine would last for seven years.
Elizej bijaše savjetovao ženi kojoj je oživio sina: “Ustani, pođi sa svojom obitelji i skloni se kao tuđinka bilo kamo, jer je Jahve pustio glad; već je došla u zemlju za sedam godina.”
2 So the woman did what Elisha told her to do. She and her family went to live in [the] Philistia [region] for seven years.
Žena usta i učini kako joj je rekao čovjek Božji: otišla je, ona i njena obitelj, i ostala sedam godina u zemlji filistejskoj.
3 After the seven years were ended, they returned to their home. The woman went to the king to request that her house and her land be given back to her.
Na kraju sedme godine žena se vrati iz zemlje filistejske i ode kralju da zatraži svoju kuću i njivu.
4 When she arrived, the king was talking with Gehazi, Elisha’s servant. The king was saying to him, “Tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”
Upravo je kralj razgovarao s Gehazijem, momkom Božjega čovjeka. Govorio mu je: “Pripovijedaj mi o svim velikim djelima koja je Elizej učinio.”
5 While Gehazi was telling the king that Elisha had caused the son of a woman [from Shunem] to become alive again, that woman came in and requested the king to enable her to get her house and land back again. Gehazi exclaimed, “Your Majesty, this is the woman whose son Elisha caused to become alive again!”
I kad je pripovijedao kralju o uskrisenju djeteta, eto žene kojoj je Elizej oživio sina; ona se obrati kralju radi svoje kuće i njive. A Gezahi reče: “Gospodaru kralju, evo one žene i evo njena sina koga je Elizej oživio.”
6 When the king asked her about it, she told him [that what Gehazi had said was true]. The king summoned one of his officials and said to him, “[I want] everything that this woman possessed previously, including the value of all the crops that have been harvested during these last seven years while she was away from her land, [to] be given back to her.” [So the official did that].
Kralj upita ženu i ona mu sve pripovjedi. Tada joj kralj dade jednoga slugu, komu naredi: “Neka joj se vrati sve što je njeno i svi prihodi od njive od dana kada je ostavila zemlju do danas!”
7 Elisha went to Damascus, [the capital of Syria], when Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, was [very] sick. When someone told the king that Elisha was in Damascus,
Elizej dođe u Damask. Ben-Hadad, kralj aramejski, bijaše obolio. Odmah mu javiše: “Božji čovjek došao ovamo.”
8 the king told [one of his officials named] Hazael, “Go and talk to that prophet and take a present/gift with you to give to him. Request him to ask Yahweh if I will recover from my illness.”
Tada reče kralj Hazaelu: “Uzmi sa sobom dar pa idi pred Božjeg čovjeka. I preko njega se posavjetuj s Jahvom da bi saznao hoću li se izliječiti od ove bolesti.”
9 So Hazael went to talk with Elisha. He took with him forty camels that were carrying many kinds of goods that were produced in Damascus. When Hazael met him, he said to him, “Your friend Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, sent me to ask you whether [you think] he will recover from his illness.”
Hazael ode pred Elizeja i donese mu u dar što bijaše od ponajboljeg u Damasku, sve to natovareno na četrdeset deva. Dođe on i stade preda nj i reče: “Tvoj sin Ben-Hadad, kralj aramejski, šalje me k tebi i pita hoće li ozdraviti od one bolesti.”
10 Elisha said to Hazael, “Go and say to him, ‘Yes, you will certainly not die from this illness,’ but Yahweh has shown me that he will certainly die [before he recovers].”
Elizej mu odgovori: “Idi i reci mu: 'Ozdravit ćeš, dakako!' Ali mi je Jahve pokazao da će umrijeti.”
11 Then Elisha stared at him and had a terrified look on his face. That caused Hazael to feel uneasy/embarrassed. Then [suddenly] Elisha started to cry.
I čovjek Božji uprije pogled preda se, smeten, i zaplaka.
12 Hazael said, “Sir, why are you crying?” Elisha replied, “Because [Yahweh has enabled] me [to] know the terrible things that you will do to the people of Israel: You will burn their cities with walls around them, you will kill their fine young men with a sword, you will bash the heads of their children, and you will rip open the bellies of their pregnant women [with a sword].”
Hazael reče: “Zašto plačeš, moj gospodaru?” Elizej odgovori: “Zato što znam sva zla koja ćeš ti učiniti Izraelcima: spalit ćeš im utvrde, mačem ćeš poubijati njihove ratnike, njihovu ćeš djecu satirati, a trudne žene parati.”
13 Hazael replied, “I am [as insignificant as] [MET] a dog; (how could I do such things?/I would never do such terrible things!)” [RHQ] Elisha replied, “Yahweh has also revealed to me that you will become the king of Syria.”
Hazael reče: “Ali što je tvoj sluga? Zar je pas da učini tako strašne stvari?” Elizej odgovori: “U jednoj Jahvinoj objavi vidio sam tebe kao kralja aramejskog.”
14 Then Hazael left and returned to his master/boss [the king], who asked him, “What did Elisha say?” He replied, “He told me that you would certainly recover.”
Hazael ode od Elizeja i vrati se svome gospodaru, koji ga upita: “Što ti je rekao Elizej?” On odgovori: “Rekao mi je da ćeš ozdraviti.”
15 But the next day, [while the king was sleeping, ] Hazael took a blanket and soaked it in water. Then he spread it on the king’s face [in order that he could not breathe], and he died. Then Hazael became the king of Syria instead of Ben-Hadad.
Ali sutradan uze pokrivač, namoči ga u vodi i pokri kralja preko lica te on umrije. A na njegovo mjesto zakralji se Hazael.
16 After King Joram, the son of Ahab, had been ruling in Israel for almost five years, Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became the king of Judah.
Pete godine kraljevanja Jorama, sina Ahabova, u Izraelu, postade judejskim kraljem Joram, sin Jošafatov.
17 He was thirty-two years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
Bile su mu trideset i dvije godine kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je osam godina u Jeruzalemu.
18 His wife was the daughter of King Ahab. And like everyone in Ahab’s family, he continually did the evil things that the previous kings of Israel had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil.
Živio je poput izraelskih kraljeva, kao i dom Ahabov, jer mu je kći Ahabova bila žena; radio je što je zlo u Jahvinim očima.
19 But Yahweh did not want to get rid of the people of Judah, because of what he had promised David, who served him [very well]. He had promised David that his descendants [MET] would always rule Judah.
Ipak Jahve ne htjede razoriti Judeje zbog sluge svoga Davida, zato što mu obeća da će dati svjetiljku njemu i njegovim sinovima zauvijek.
20 During the time that Jehoram ruled, [the king of] Edom rebelled against Judah, and they appointed their own king.
U njegovo se vrijeme Edomci odmetnuše ispod judejske vlasti i postaviše sebi kralja.
21 So Jehoram went with his army and all their chariots to Zair [city near the border of Edom]. There the army of Edom surrounded them. But during the night, Jehoram and the commanders in their chariots were able to get through the enemy lines and escaped. And all his soldiers also fled to their homes.
Joram ode u Seir i s njim sva bojna kola. Diže se noću i pobi Edomce koji su bili opkolili njega i zapovjednike bojnih kola. Narod pobježe u svoje šatore.
22 So after that, Edom was no longer controlled by Judah, and it is still like that. During that same time, the people of Libnah [city] also freed themselves from being controlled by Judah.
Ipak su se Edomci oslobodili ispod judejske vlasti sve do danas. U isto se doba odmetnu i Libna.
23 [If you want to read about] the other things that Jehoram did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Ostala povijest Jorama, sve što je učinio, zar to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva judejskih?
24 Jehoram died [EUP] and was buried where the other kings of Judah had been buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king.
Joram počinu kraj svojih otaca i bi pokopan k svojim ocima u Davidovu gradu. Njegov sin Ahazja zakralji se mjesto njega.
25 After Ahab’s son Joram has been ruling in Israel for almost twelve years, Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king of Judah.
Dvanaeste godine Jorama, sina Ahabova, kralja Izraela, postade judejskim kraljem Ahazja, sin Joramov.
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he started to rule. He ruled in Jerusalem for [only] one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, [the daughter of King Ahab and] the granddaughter of King Omri of Israel.
Ahazji bijahu dvadeset i dvije godine kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je godinu dana u Jeruzalemu. Mati mu se zvala Atalija, a bila je kći izraelskog kralja Omrija.
27 King Ahab conducted his life just like the members of Ahab’s family had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be very evil.
I on je hodio putem obitelji Ahabove i činio je zlo u očima Jahvinim, kao i obitelj Ahabova, jer je s njom bio u rodu.
28 Ahaziah’s army joined the army of King Joram of Israel to fight against the army of King Hazael of Syria. Their armies started fighting at Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], and the soldiers of Syria wounded Joram.
On je pošao s Joramom, sinom Ahabovim, u Ramot Gilead u boj protiv Hazaela, aramskog kralja.
29 King Joram returned to Jezreel [city] to recover from his wounds. King Ahaziah went to visit him there.
Kralj Joram vratio se u Jizreel da se liječi od rana što mu ih zadadoše u Rami kad se borio s aramejskim kraljem Hazaelom. Joramov sin Ahazja, judejski kralj, sišao je u Jizreel da posjeti Ahabova sina Jorama jer se Joram razbolio.
