2 Kings 7
1 Elisha said, “Hear the word of Yahweh. This is what Yahweh says: 'Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.'”
Elizej reče tada: “Čuj riječ Jahvinu! Ovako veli Jahve: 'Sutra će u ovo doba na vratima Samarije biti mjera finoga brašna za šekel, a dvije mjere ječmenog brašna za šekel.'”
2 Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “See, even if Yahweh should make windows in heaven, can this thing happen?” Elisha replied, “See, you will watch it happen with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of it.”
Dvorjanik, o čiju se ruku kralj oslanjao, odgovori čovjeku Božjemu: “I kad bi Jahve načinio okna na nebu, bi li to moglo biti?” A Elizej odgovori: “Vidjet ćeš svojim očima, ali nećeš jesti.”
3 Now there were four men with leprosy right outside the city gate. They said one to another, “Why should we sit here until we die?
A pred gradskim vratima bijahu četiri gubavca; rekoše oni jedan drugome: “Zašto stojimo ovdje i očekujemo smrt?
4 If we say that we should go into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we will die there. But if we still sit here, we will still die. Now then, come, let us go to the army of the Arameans. If they keep us alive, we will live, and if they kill us, we will only die.”
Ako odlučimo ući u grad, glad je u gradu te ćemo ondje umrijeti; ako ostanemo ovdje, opet ćemo umrijeti. Hajde! Pobjegnimo i prijeđimo u aramejski tabor: ako nas ostave na životu, živjet ćemo; ako nas ubiju, pa dobro: umrijet ćemo!”
5 So they rose up at twilight to go into the Aramean camp; when they arrived at the outermost part of the camp, there was no one there.
U sumračje, ustavši, krenuše odande u aramejski tabor. Stigoše do ruba tabora, i gle - ondje nikoga!
6 For the Lord had made the Aramean army hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses—the noise of another large army, and they said to each other, “The king of Israel has hired the kings of the Hittites and Egyptians to come against us.”
Jer je Jahve učinio te se u taboru aramejskom čula buka kola i konja, buka goleme vojske. I govorili su među sobom: “Eto, kralj Izraela najmio je protiv nas kraljeve hetitske i kraljeve egipatske da krenu protiv nas.”
7 So the soldiers arose and fled in the twilight; they left their tents, their horses, their donkeys, and the camp as it was, and fled for their lives.
Digli su se i pobjegli u sumraku: ostavili su svoje šatore, konje i magarce, sav tabor kakav bijaše. Pobjegli su da iznesu živu glavu.
8 When the men with leprosy came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent and ate and drank, and carried away silver and gold and clothes, and went and hid them. They came back and entered into another tent and carried plunder away from there also, and went and hid it.
Kad su gubavci, dakle, došli do ruba tabora, uvukoše se u jedan šator. Pošto su se najeli i napili, uzeše odande srebro, zlato i haljine pa odoše da ih sakriju. Vratiše se onda pa uđoše u drugi šator: uzeše plijen iz njega te odoše i sakriše ga.
9 Then they said each other, “We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, but we are keeping quiet about it. If we wait until daybreak, punishment will overtake us. Now then, come, let us go and tell the king's household.”
Rekoše tada jedan drugome: “Ne smijemo tako raditi. Današnji je dan pun dobrih vijesti, a mi šutimo. Ako dočekamo jutro, bit ćemo krivi. Zato pođimo! Javimo dvoru novost.”
10 So they went and called the gatekeepers of the city. They told them, saying, “We went to the camp of the Arameans, but there was no one there, not the sound of anyone, but there were the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.”
I vratiše se, pozvaše gradsku stražu i javiše: “Otišli smo u tabor aramejski, a ondje nigdje čovjeka ni ljudskoga glasa; samo konji privezani i magarci, a šatori ostavljeni kakvi jesu.”
11 Then the gatekeepers shouted out the news, and then it was told inside the king's household.
Stražari viknuše i dojaviše u unutrašnjost dvora.
12 Then the king arose at night and said to his servants, “I will tell you now what the Arameans have done to us. They know that we are hungry, so they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the fields. They are saying, 'When they come out of the city, we will take them alive, and get into the city.'”
Kralj ustade noću i reče svojim časnicima: “Ja ću vam objasniti što su nam učinili Aramejci. Kako znaju da smo gladni, izišli su iz tabora i sakrili se u polju, misleći: već će oni izići iz grada, a mi ćemo ih žive pohvatati i ući u grad.”
13 One of the king's servants answered and said, “I beg you, let some men take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. They are like all the rest of the population of Israel who are left—most are now dead; let us send them and see.”
A jedan između njegovih časnika odgovori: “Neka se uzme ipak pet od preostalih konja. S njima će biti kao sa svim mnoštvom Izraelovim koje je ovdje preostalo. Pošaljimo ih pa ćemo vidjeti.”
14 So they took two chariots with horses, and the king sent them after the army of the Arameans, saying, “Go and see.”
I uzeše dva konja kolska i kralj posla ljude za aramejskim taborom govoreći: “Idite, izvidite!”
15 They went after them to the Jordan, and all the road was full of clothes and equipment that the Arameans had cast away in their hurry. So the messengers returned and told the king.
Išli su za njima do Jordana; put bijaše sav prekriven haljinama i stvarima koje su Aramejci pobacali u bijegu. Glasnici se vratiše i obavijestiše kralja.
16 The people went out and plundered the camp of the Arameans. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, just as the word of Yahweh had said.
I narod iziđe i uze pljačkati aramejski tabor: i bijaše mjera finoga brašna za šekel, a dvije mjere ječmenoga za jedan šekel, prema riječi Jahvinoj.
17 The king had ordered the captain on whose hand he had leaned to be in charge of the gate, and the people trampled him down in the gateway. He died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king had come down to him.
Kralj je postavio na gradska vrata onoga dvorjanika o čiju se ruku oslanjao; a narod ga izgazi na vratima i on umrije, prema riječi što ju je rekao Božji čovjek kad mu kralj bijaše došao.
18 So it happened as the man of God had said to the king, saying, “About this time in the gate of Samaria, two measures of barley will be available for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel.”
Dogodilo se kako je čovjek Božji rekao kralju: “Sutra u ovo doba na vratima Samarije bit će dvije mjere ječmenoga brašna za šekel i mjera finoga brašna za šekel.”
19 That captain had answered the man of God and said, “See, even if Yahweh should make windows in heaven, can this thing happen?” Elisha had said, “See, you will watch it happen with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of it.”
Dvorjanik je odgovorio Elizeju: “Pa da Jahve načini i okna na nebu, bi li moglo biti što kažeš?” Elizej mu je odgovorio: “Vidjet ćeš svojim očima, ali nećeš jesti.”
20 That is what exactly what happened to him, for the people trampled him in the gate, and he died.
I doista, tako mu se dogodilo: izgazio ga narod na vratima te on umrije.
