2 Kings 9
1 Meanwhile, the prophet Elisha summoned one of the other prophets. He said to him, “Get ready [IDM] and go to Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region]. Take this jar of [olive] oil with you.
A Jelisije prorok dozva jednoga izmeðu sinova proroèkih, i reèe mu: opaši se i uzmi ovu uljanicu, pa idi u Ramot Galadski.
2 When you arrive there, search for a man named Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat and grandson of Nimshi. Go with him into a room away from his companions,
I kad doðeš onamo, vidjeæeš ondje Juja sina Josafata sina Nimsijina, i ušavši izvedi ga izmeðu braæe njegove i odvedi ga u najtajniju klijet.
3 and pour [some of] this oil on his head. Then say to him, ‘Yahweh declares that he is appointing you to be the king of Israel.’ Then open the door and run away as quickly as you can.”
I uzmi uljanicu i izlij mu na glavu, i reci: ovako veli Gospod: pomazah te za cara nad Izrailjem. Zatijem otvori vrata i bježi, i ne zabavljaj se.
4 So the young prophet went to Ramoth.
I otide mladiæ, momak prorokov, u Ramot Galadski.
5 When he arrived, he saw that the commanders of the army were having a conference. He [looked at Jehu and] said, “Sir, I have a message for [one of] you.” Jehu replied, “Which one of us is the message for?” The young prophet replied, “It is for you, commander/sir.”
I kad uðe, gle, sjeðahu vojvode; a on reèe: vojvodo, imam nešto da ti kažem. A Juj mu reèe: kome izmeðu svijeh nas? A on reèe: tebi, vojvodo.
6 So Jehu got up and went with the young prophet into a house. There the young prophet poured some [olive] oil on Jehu’s head and said to him, “Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], declares this: ‘I am appointing you to be the king of my Israeli people.
Tada usta, i uðe u kuæu, a on mu izli na glavu ulje, i reèe mu: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: pomazah te za cara nad narodom Gospodnjim, Izrailjem.
7 You must kill your master [King Joram], the son of Ahab, because I want to punish [Ahab’s wife] Jezebel for murdering [MTY] many of my prophets and other people who served me.
I pobij dom Ahava gospodara svojega, jer hoæu da pokajem krv sluga svojih proroka, i krv svijeh sluga Gospodnjijeh od ruke Jezaveljine.
8 You must kill [not only Joram but] all of Ahab’s family. I want to get rid of every male in the family, including young ones and old ones.
I tako æe izginuti sav dom Ahavov, i istrijebiæu Ahavu i ono što uza zid mokri, i uhvaæenoga i ostavljenoga u Izrailju.
9 I will get rid of Ahab’s family, like I got rid of the families of two other kings of Israel, Jeroboam and Baasha.
I uèiniæu s domom Ahavovijem kao s domom Jerovoama sina Navatova i kao s domom Vase sina Ahijina.
10 And [when] Jezebel [dies], her corpse will not be buried. Dogs will eat her corpse there in Jezreel [city].’” After the young prophet said this, he left the room and ran.
I Jezavelju æe izjesti psi u polju Jezraelskom i neæe biti nikoga da je pogrebe. Potom otvori vrata i pobježe.
11 When Jehu came out of the room to where his other commanders were, they said to him, “Is everything all right? Why did that mad fellow come to you?” He replied, “You know what kinds of things young prophets like him say.”
A Juj izide k slugama gospodara svojega, i zapitaše ga: je li dobro? što je došao taj bezumnik k tebi? A on im reèe: znate èovjeka i besjedu njegovu.
12 They said, “You are lying! Tell us what he said!” He replied, “He told me that Yahweh said, ‘I am appointing [MTY] you to be the king of Israel.’”
A oni rekoše: nije istina; kaži nam. A on im reèe: tako i tako reèe mi govoreæi: ovako veli Gospod: pomazah te za cara nad Izrailjem.
13 Then they all spread their cloaks on the steps of the building [for Jehu to walk out on], and they blew trumpets and shouted, “Jehu is now the king!”
Tada brže uzeše svak svoju haljinu, i metnuše poda nj na najvišem basamaku, i zatrubiše u trubu i rekoše: Juj posta car.
14 King Joram and his army had been defending Ramoth against the attacks by the army of the king of Syria. King Joram had returned to Jezreel [city], to recover from being wounded in the battle against the army of Hazael, the king of Syria. And Jehu made plans to kill Joram. He said to his other commanders, “If helping me is truly what you want, make sure that no one leaves this city to go to warn the people of Jezreel [about what I am planning to do].”
Tako se pobuni Juj sin Josafata sina Nimsijina na Jorama; a Joram èuvaše Ramot Galadski sa svijem Izrailjem od Azaila cara Sirskoga.
A bješe se vratio car Joram da se lijeèi u Jezraelu od rana koje mu zadaše Sirci, kad se bijaše s Azailom carem Sirskim. I reèe Juj: ako vam je volja, neka niko ne izlazi iz grada da otide i javi u Jezrael.
16 Then Jehu and his officers got into their chariots and rode to Jezreel, where Joram was still recovering. And King Ahaziah of Judah was there, visiting Joram.
I Juj sjede na kola i otide u Jezrael, jer Joram ležaše ondje; i Ohozija car Judin bješe došao da vidi Jorama.
17 A guard was standing in the watchtower in Jezreel. He saw Jehu and his men approaching. He called out, “I see a lot of men [who are approaching]!” King Joram [heard what the watchman said, so he] said to his soldiers, “Send someone on a horse to go and find out if they are coming to be friendly to us or to attack us.”
A stražar koji stajaše na kuli u Jezraelu, kad ugleda ljudstvo Jujevo gdje ide, reèe: neko ljudstvo vidim. Tada reèe Joram: uzmi konjika i pošlji ga pred njih, i neka zapita: je li mir?
18 So a man rode out to meet Jehu and said to him, “The king wants to know [if you are coming to be] friendly to us.” Jehu replied, “This is not the time for you [RHQ] to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and come behind me!” So the guard in the watchtower reported that the messenger had reached the group [that was approaching], but that he was not returning [alone].
I otide konjik preda nj, i reèe: ovako veli car: je li mir? A Juj reèe: šta je tebi do mira? hajde za mnom. A stražar javi govoreæi: glasnik doðe do njih, ali se ne vraæa.
19 So King Joram sent another messenger, who asked Jehu the same question. Again Jehu replied, “This is not the time [RHQ] for you to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and follow me!”
I posla drugoga konjika, koji kad doðe k njima reèe: ovako veli car: je li mir? A Juj reèe: šta je tebi do mira? hajde za mnom.
20 Then the watchman reported again, “That messenger also reached them, but he is not coming back [alone]. And [the leader of the group must be] Jehu, the son of Nimshi, because he is driving [his chariot] furiously, [like Jehu does]!”
Opet javi stražar govoreæi: doðe do njih, ali se ne vraæa; a hod kao da je hod Jujev, jer ide pomamno.
21 Joram said [to his soldiers], “Get [my chariot] ready!” So they did that. Then King Joram and King Ahaziah both rode toward Jehu, each one in his own chariot. And [it happened that] they met Jehu at the field that had previously belonged to Naboth!
Tada reèe Joram: preži. I upregoše u kola njegova. Tako izide Joram car Izrailjev i Ohozija car Judin, svaki na svojim kolima, i otidoše na susret Juju, i sretoše ga na njivi Navuteja Jezraeljanina.
22 When Joram met Jehu, he said to him, “Are you coming on a peaceful visit?” Jehu replied, “(How can there be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing very much (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel did?/There certainly cannot be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel has been doing!)” [RHQ]
I kad Joram ugleda Juja, reèe mu: je li mir, Juju? A on odgovori: kakav mir? dok je tolikoga kurvanja Jezavelje matere tvoje i èaranja njezinijeh.
23 Joram cried out, “Ahaziah, they have deceived us! [They want to kill us]!” So Joram turned his chariot around and tried to flee.
Tada Joram okrete se i pobježe govoreæi Ohoziji: izdaja, Ohozija!
24 But Jehu drew his bow mightily and shot [an arrow that pierced] Joram between his shoulder blades. The arrow [went through his body and] pierced his heart, and he slumped down dead in his chariot.
Ali Juj zgrabi luk svoj i ustrijeli Jorama meðu pleæi da mu strijela proðe kroz srce, te pade u kolima svojim.
25 Then Jehu said to his assistant Bidkar, “Take his corpse and throw it here into the field that belonged to Naboth. [I am sure that] you remember that when you and I were riding together [in chariots] behind King Joram’s father Ahab, that Yahweh said this about Ahab:
Tada reèe Juj Vadekaru vojvodi svom: uzmi ga, i baci ga na njivu Navuteja Jezraeljanina; jer opomeni se kad ja i ti zajedno jahasmo za Ahavom ocem njegovijem, kako Gospod izreèe za nj ovo zlo:
26 ‘Yesterday I saw Ahab murder [MTY] Naboth and his sons here. And I solemnly promise that I will punish him right here in this same field!’ So take Joram’s corpse and throw it into that field! That will fulfill what Yahweh said would happen.”
Zaista, krv Navutejevu i krv sinova njegovijeh vidjeh sinoæ, reèe Gospod, i platiæu ti na ovoj njivi, reèe Gospod. Zato uzmi ga sad i baci na tu njivu po rijeèi Gospodnjoj.
27 When King Ahaziah saw what happened, he fled [in his chariot] toward Beth-Haggan [town]. But Jehu pursued him and said [to his other commanders], “Shoot him, also!” So they shot him [with arrows] while he was riding in his chariot on the road up to Gur, near Ibleam [town]. He continued going in his chariot until he reached Megiddo [city], where he died.
A Ohozija car Judin vidjevši to pobježe k domu u vrtu; ali ga potjera Juj, i reèe: ubijte i toga na njegovijem kolima. I raniše ga na brdu Guru, koje je kod Ivleama. I uteèe u Megidon, i ondje umrije.
28 His officials took his corpse back to Jerusalem and buried it in the tombs in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried.
I sluge ga njegove metnuše na kola i odvezoše u Jerusalim, i pogreboše ga u grobu njegovu kod otaca njegovijeh u gradu Davidovu.
29 Ahaziah had become the king of Judah when Joram had been ruling Israel for almost eleven years.
A jedanaeste godine carovanja Jorama sina Ahavova poèe carovati Ohozija nad Judom.
30 Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When [Ahab’s widow] Jezebel heard what had happened, she put paint/makeup on her eyelids, and combed her hair to make it beautiful, and looked out the window [of the palace toward the street below].
Iza toga Juj doðe u Jezrael. A Jezavelja kad èu, namaza lice svoje i nakiti glavu svoju, pa gledaše s prozora.
31 While Jehu was entering the city gate, she called out to him, “You [are like] Zimri! You are a murderer! [I think] you are certainly not [RHQ] coming on a peaceful visit!”
I kad Juj ulažaše na vrata, reèe ona: je li mir, Zimrije, krvnièe gospodara svojega?
32 Jehu looked up toward the window, and then he said, “Who is (on my side/wants to help me)? Anyone?” Two or three palace officials looked down at him [from a window and pointed to themselves].
A on pogleda na prozor i reèe: ko je sa mnom? ko? Tada pogledaše u nj dva tri dvoranina.
33 Jehu said to them, “Throw her down here!” So they threw her down, and [when she hit the ground and died], some of her blood splattered on the city wall and on the horses [that were pulling the chariots].
A on im reèe: bacite je dolje. I baciše je, i pršte krv njezina po zidu i po konjma, i pogazi je.
34 Then Jehu went into the palace and ate and drank. Then he said [to some of his men], “Take the corpse of that women whom Yahweh has cursed and bury it, because she is a king’s daughter [and therefore should be buried properly].”
Potom ušavši jede i pi, pa reèe: vidite onu prokletnicu, i pogrebite je, jer je carska kæi.
35 But when they went to get her corpse to bury it, all that was left was only her skull and [the bones of] her feet and her hands. Everything else was gone.
I otidoše da je pogrebu, i ne naðoše od nje ništa do lubanju i stopala i šake.
36 When they reported this to Jehu, he said, “That is what Yahweh said would happen! He told his servant/prophet Elijah, ‘In [the city of] Jezreel, dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel’s corpse.
I doðoše natrag i javiše, a on reèe: to je rijeè Gospodnja, koju je rekao preko sluge svojega Ilije Tesviæanina govoreæi: u polju Jezraelskom izješæe psi tijelo Jezaveljino.
37 Her bones will be scattered there in Jezreel like dung, with the result that no one will be able to [recognize them and] say, “These are Jezebel’s bones.”’”
Neka bude tijelo Jezaveljino kao gnoj na njivi u polju Jezraelskom da se ne može kazati: ovo je Jezavelja.
