< 2 Kings 10 >

1 Now Ahab had seventy descendants in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, including the elders and the guardians of Ahab's descendants, saying,
Aháb je imel v Samariji sedemdeset sinov. Jehú je napisal pisma in jih poslal v Samarijo k vladarjem Jezreéla, k starešinam in tistim, ki so vzgajali Ahábove otroke, rekoč:
2 “Your master's descendants are with you, and you also have chariots and horses and a fortified city and armor. So then, as soon as this letter comes to you,
»Torej takoj, ko to pismo pride k vam, glede na to, da so sinovi vašega gospodarja z vami in so tam z vami bojni vozovi in konji, tudi utrjeno mesto in bojna oprema,
3 select the best and most deserving of your master's descendants and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's royal line.”
izberite najboljšega in najprimernejšega izmed sinov svojega gospodarja in ga postavite na prestol njegovega očeta in se borite za hišo svojega gospodarja.«
4 But they were terrified and said among themselves, “See, the two kings could not stand before Jehu. So how can we stand?”
Toda silno so se bali in rekli: »Glej, dva kralja nista obstala pred njim, kako bomo torej obstali mi?«
5 Then the man who was in charge of the palace, and the man who was over the city, and the elders also, and they who raised the children, sent word back to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants. We will do everything that you command us. We will not make any man king. Do what is good in your eyes.”
In ta, ki je bil nad hišo in ta, ki je bil nad mestom, tudi starešine in vzgojitelji otrok, so poslali k Jehúju, rekoč: »Tvoji služabniki smo in storili bomo vse, kar nam boš naročil. Ne bomo postavili nobenega kralja. Stôri to, kar je dobro v tvojih očeh.«
6 Then Jehu wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, you must take the heads of the men of your master's descendants, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time.” Now the king's descendants, seventy in number, were with the important men of the city, who were bringing them up.
Potem jim je drugič napisal pismo, rekoč: »Če ste moji in če boste prisluhnili mojemu glasu, vzemite glave mož sinov svojega gospodarja in do jutri ob tem času pridite k meni v Jezreél.« Torej kraljevi sinovi, ki jih je bilo sedemdeset oseb, so bili z mestnimi velikaši, ki so jih vzgajali.
7 So when the letter came to them, they took the king's sons and killed them, seventy persons, put their heads in baskets, and sent them to Jehu in Jezreel.
Pripetilo se je, ko je pismo prišlo do njih, da so vzeli kraljeve sinove in usmrtili sedemdeset oseb in njihove glave dali v košare in mu jih poslali v Jezreél.
8 A messenger came to Jehu, saying, “They have brought the heads of the king's sons.” So he said, “Put them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.”
Tja je prišel poslanec in mu povedal, rekoč: »Prinesli so glave kraljevih sinov.« Rekel je: »Do jutra jih naložite na dva kupa ob vhodu v velika vrata.«
9 In the morning Jehu went out and stood, and said to all the people, “You are innocent. See, I plotted against my master and killed him, but who killed all these?
Zjutraj se je pripetilo, da je odšel ven, obstal in vsemu ljudstvu rekel: » Bodite pravični. Glejte, koval sem zaroto zoper svojega gospodarja in ga usmrtil, toda kdo je usmrtil vse te?
10 Now you should certainly realize that no part of Yahweh's word, the word that he spoke concerning the family of Ahab, will fall to the ground, for Yahweh has done what he spoke about through his servant Elijah.”
Vedite torej, da ne bo padlo na zemljo ničesar od Gospodove besede, ki jo je Gospod govoril glede Ahábove hiše, kajti Gospod je storil to, kar je govoril po svojem služabniku Eliju.«
11 So Jehu killed all who remained in the family of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his important men, his close friends, and his priests, until none of them remained.
Tako je Jehú usmrtil vse, kar je od Ahábove hiše ostalo v Jezreélu, vse njegove velikaše, njegovo žlahto in njegove duhovnike, dokler mu ni preostal niti eden.
12 Then Jehu arose and left; he went to Samaria. As he was arriving at Beth Eked of the shepherd,
Vstal je, odšel in prišel v Samarijo. In ko je bil pri strižni hiši ob poti,
13 he met brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah. Jehu said to them, “Who are you?” They answered, “We are brothers of Ahaziah, and we are going down to greet the children of the king and the children of Queen Jezebel.”
se je Jehú srečal z brati Judovega kralja Ahazjája in rekel: »Kdo ste?« Odgovorili so: »Mi smo Ahazjájevi bratje in gremo dol, da pozdravimo kraljeve otroke in otroke kraljice.«
14 Jehu said to his own men, “Take them alive.” So they took them alive and killed them at the well of Beth Eked, all forty-two men. He did not leave any of them alive.
Rekel je: »Zgrabite jih žive.« Zgrabili so jih žive in jih usmrtili pri jami strižne hiše, celó dvainštirideset mož. Niti ni pustil nobenega izmed njih.
15 When Jehu had left there, he met Jehonadab son of Recab coming to meet him. Jehu greeted him and said to him, “Is your heart with me, as my heart is with yours?” Jehonadab answered, “It is.” Jehu said, “If it is, give me your hand.” So he gave Jehu his hand, and Jehu took Jehonadab up with him into the chariot.
Ko je odpotoval od tam, je naletel na Rehábovega sina Jonadába, ki je prihajal, da se sreča z njim. Pozdravil ga je in mu rekel: »Je tvoje srce iskreno, kakor je moje srce s tvojim srcem?« Jonadáb je odgovoril: »Je.« »Če je tako, mi podaj svojo roko.« Podal mu je svojo roko in vzel ga je gor k sebi na bojni voz.
16 Jehu said, “Come with me and see my zeal for Yahweh.” So he had Jonadab ride along with him in his chariot.
Rekel je: »Pridi z menoj in poglej mojo gorečnost za Gospoda.« Tako so ga primorali, da se pelje na njegovem bojnem vozu.
17 When he came to Samaria, Jehu killed all who remained from Ahab's descendants in Samaria, until he had destroyed Ahab's royal line, just as was told them before by the word of Yahweh, which he had spoken to Elijah.
Ko je prišel v Samarijo, je usmrtil vse, ki so Ahábu preostali v Samariji, dokler jih ni uničil, glede na Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je govoril Eliju.
18 Then Jehu gathered all the people together and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him much.
Jehú je vse ljudstvo zbral skupaj in jim rekel: »Aháb je malo služil Báalu, toda Jehú mu bo bolj služil.
19 Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all his worshipers, and all his priests. Let no one be left out, for I have a great sacrifice to offer to Baal. Whoever does not come will not live.” But Jehu did this deceitfully, with the intent to kill the worshipers of Baal.
Zdaj torej pokličite k meni vse Báalove preroke, vse njegove služabnike in vse njegove duhovnike. Naj nihče ne manjka, kajti imam veliko klavno daritev, da jo opravim Báalu. Kdorkoli bo manjkal, ta ne bo živel.« Toda Jehú je to storil v premetenosti, z namenom, da bi lahko uničil Báalove oboževalce.
20 Jehu said, “Set a time to have an assembly for Baal.” So they announced it.
Jehú je rekel: »Razglasite slovesen zbor za Báala.« In to so razglasili.
21 Then Jehu sent throughout all Israel and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left who did not come. They came into the temple of Baal, and it was filled from one end to another.
Jehú je poslal po vsem Izraelu in prišli so vsi Báalovi oboževalci, tako da ni ostalo nobenega človeka, ki ne bi prišel. Prišli so v Báalovo hišo in Báalova hiša je bila polna od enega konca do drugega.
22 Jehu said to the man who kept the priest's wardrobe, “Bring out robes for all the worshipers of Baal.” So the man brought out robes to them.
Tistemu, ki je bil nad oblačilnico, je rekel: »Prinesi talarje za vse Báalove oboževalce.« In prinesel jim je talarje.
23 So Jehu went with Jehonadab son of Recab into the house of Baal, and he said to the worshipers of Baal, “Search and make sure that there is no one here with you from the servants of Yahweh, but the worshipers of Baal alone.”
Jehú in Rehábov sin Jonadáb sta odšla v Báalovo hišo in Báalovim oboževalcem rekla: »Preiščite in poglejte, da ni tukaj z vami kakega Gospodovega služabnika, temveč samo Báalovi oboževalci.«
24 Then they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had chosen eighty men who were standing outside, and he told them, “If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escapes, whoever lets that man escape, his life will be taken for the life of the one who escaped.”
Ko so vstopili, da darujejo klavne daritve in žgalne daritve, je Jehú zunaj določil osemdeset mož in rekel: » Če katerikoli izmed mož, ki sem jih privedel v vaše roke, pobegne, kdor mu pusti oditi, bo njegovo življenje za življenje od tistega.«
25 So then as soon as Jehu finished offering the burnt offering, he said to the guard and to the captains, “Go in and kill them. Let no one come out.” So they killed them with the edge of the sword, and the guard and the captains threw them out and went into the inner room of the house of Baal.
Pripetilo se je, takoj ko je končal z darovanjem žgalne daritve, da je Jehú rekel straži in poveljnikom: »Vstopite in jih pobijte; naj nihče ne pride naprej.« In udarili so jih z ostrino meča. Straža in poveljniki so jih vrgli ven in odšli v mesto Báalove hiše.
26 They dragged out the stone pillars that were in the house of Baal, and they burned them.
Iz Báalove hiše so prinesli podobe in jih sežgali.
27 Then they broke down the pillar of Baal, and destroyed the house of Baal and made it a latrine, which it is to this day.
Porušili so Báalovo podobo, zrušili Báalovo hišo in jo naredili za straniščno hišo do današnjega dne.
28 That is how Jehu destroyed Baal worship from Israel.
Tako je Jehú uničil Báala iz Izraela.
29 But Jehu did not leave the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, by which he made Israel sin—that is, the worship of the golden calves in Bethel and Dan.
Vendar se od grehov Nebátovega sina Jerobeáma, ki je Izraela pripravil, da greši, Jehú ni odvrnil od sledenja za njimi, namreč zlatih telet, ki sta bila v Betelu in v Danu.
30 So Yahweh said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in executing what was right in my eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”
Gospod je rekel Jehúju: »Ker si storil dobro v izvrševanju tega, kar je pravilno v mojih očeh in si Ahábovi hiši storil glede na vse, kar je bilo na mojem srcu, bodo tvoji otroci četrtega rodu sedeli na Izraelovem prestolu.«
31 But Jehu took no care to walk in the law of Yahweh, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, by which he made Israel sin.
Toda Jehú ni pazil, da bi se z vsem srcem ravnal po postavi Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, kajti ni se oddvojil od Jerobeámovih grehov, ki je Izraela pripravil, da greši.
32 In those days Yahweh began to cut off regions from Israel, and Hazael defeated the Israelites at the borders of Israel,
V tistih dneh je Gospod začel obsekavati Izraela in Hazaél jih je udaril po vseh Izraelovih pokrajinah;
33 from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the Valley of the Arnon, through Gilead to Bashan.
od Jordana proti vzhodu, vso deželo Gileád, Gádovce, Rubenovce in Manásejce, od Aroêrja, ki je pri reki Arnón, celo Gileád in Bašán.
34 As for the other matters concerning Jehu, and all that he did, and all his power, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
Torej preostala izmed Jehújevih dejanj in vse, kar je storil in vsa njegova moč, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Izraelovih kraljev?
35 Jehu slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in Samaria. Then Jehoahaz his son became king in his place.
Jehú je zaspal s svojimi očeti in pokopali so ga v Samariji. Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Joaház.
36 The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
Časa, ko je Jehú kraljeval nad Izraelom, v Samariji, je bilo osemindvajset let.
