1 Kings 21

1 And it came to pass after these things, [that] Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which [was] in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

Po teh stvareh se je pripetilo, da je imel Jezreélec Nabót vinograd, ki je bil v Jezreélu, čisto pri palači samarijskega kralja Ahába.

2 And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it [is] near to my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; [or] if it seemeth good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.

Aháb je spregovoril Nabótu, rekoč: »Daj mi svoj vinograd, da ga bom lahko imel za zeliščni vrt, ker je ta čisto pri moji hiši, jaz pa ti bom zanj dal boljši vinograd, kakor je ta. Ali pa, če se ti zdi dobro, ti bom dal njegovo vrednost v denarju.«

3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to thee.

Nabót je rekel Ahábu: » Gospod me obvaruj, da bi ti dal dediščino svojih očetov.«

4 And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased, because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid himself down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

Aháb je prišel v svojo hišo zlovoljen in jezen, zaradi besede, ki mu jo je govoril Jezreélec Nabót, kajti rekel je: »Ne bom ti dal dediščine svojih očetov.« Ulegel se je na svojo posteljo in svoj obraz obrnil stran in ni hotel jesti kruha.

5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?

Toda njegova žena Jezabela je prišla k njemu in mu rekla: »Zakaj je tvoj duh tako žalosten, da ne ješ kruha?«

6 And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it pleaseth thee, I will give thee [another] vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.

Rekel ji je: »Ker sem govoril Jezreélcu Nabótu in mu rekel: ›Daj mi svoj vinograd za denar. Ali, če ti ugaja, ti bom zanj dal drug vinograd. Pa je odgovoril: ›Ne bom ti dal svojega vinograda.‹«

7 And Jezebel his wife said to him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, [and] eat bread, and let thy heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.

Njegova žena Jezabela mu je rekla: »Mar ne vladaš sedaj ti Izraelovemu kraljestvu? Vstani in jej kruh in naj bo tvoje srce veselo. Jaz ti bom dala vinograd Jezreélca Nabóta.«

8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed [them] with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles that [were] in his city, dwelling with Naboth.

Tako je v Ahábovem imenu napisala pisma in jih zapečatila z njegovim pečatom in pisma poslala k starešinam in k plemičem, ki so bili v njenem mestu in prebivali z Nabótom.

9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:

V pismih je napisala, rekoč: »Razglasite post in Nabóta postavite visoko med ljudstvo.

10 And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And [then] carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.

Predenj postavite dva moža, Beliálova sinova, da pričujeta zoper njega, rekoč: ›Preklinjal si Boga in kralja.‹ Potem ga odvedite ven in ga kamnajte, da bo lahko umrl.«

11 And the men of his city, [even] the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, [and] as it [was] written in the letters which she had sent to them.

Ljudje iz njegovega mesta, torej starešine in plemiči, ki so bili prebivalci v njegovem mestu, so storili, kakor jim je poslala Jezabela in kakor je bilo to zapisano v pismih, ki jih je poslala k njim.

12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

Razglasili so post in Nabóta postavili na visoko med ljudstvom.

13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, [even] against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth blasphemed God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.

Vstopila sta dva moža, Beliálova otroka in se usedla pred njim. Beliálova moža sta v prisotnosti ljudstva pričevala zoper njega, torej zoper Nabóta, rekoč: »Nabót je preklinjal Boga in kralja.« Potem so ga odvedli ven iz mesta in kamnali s kamni, da je ta umrl.

14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.

Potem so poslali k Jezabeli, rekoč: »Nabót je kamnan in je mrtev.«

15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.

Pripetilo se je, ko je Jezabela slišala, da je bil Nabót kamnan in je bil mrtev, da je Jezabela rekla Ahábu: »Vstani, vzemi posest vinograda Jezreélca Nabóta, ki ti jo je odklonil dati za denar, kajti Nabót ni živ, temveč mrtev.«

16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab arose to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

Ko je Aháb slišal, da je bil Nabót mrtev, se je pripetilo, da je Aháb vstal, da gre dol v vinograd Jezreélca Nabóta, da ga vzame v last.

17 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

Gospodova beseda je prišla Tišbéjcu Eliju, rekoč:

18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who [is] in Samaria: behold, [he is] in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.

»Vstani, pojdi dol, da srečaš Izraelovega kralja Ahába, ki je v Samariji. Glej, on je v Nabótovem vinogradu, kamor je odšel dol, da ga vzame v last.

19 And thou shalt speak to him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak to him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.

Spregovoril mu boš, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Ali si ubil in tudi vzel v last?‹ Spregovoril mu boš, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Na kraju, kjer so psi lizali Nabótovo kri, bodo psi lizali tvojo kri, celo tvojo.‹«

20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found [thee]: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.

Aháb je rekel Eliju: »Ali si me našel, oh moj sovražnik?« Ta je odgovoril: »Našel sem te, ker si se prodal, da počneš zlo v Gospodovih očeh.

21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab the males, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,

Glej, nadte bom privedel zlo in ti odvedel tvoje potomstvo in od Ahába bom iztrebil karkoli, kar lula proti zidu in tistega, ki je zaprt in je ostal v Izraelu,

22 And will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which thou hast provoked [me] to anger, and made Israel to sin.

in tvojo hišo bom naredil podobno hiši Nebátovega sina Jerobeáma in podobno hiši Ahíjevega sina Bašája, zaradi izzivanja, s katerim ste me dražili do jeze in Izraela pripravili, da greši.«

23 And of Jezebel also spoke the LORD, saying, the dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.

Gospod je spregovoril tudi o Jezabeli, rekoč: »Psi bodo žrli Jezabelo pri jezreélskem zidu.

24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.

Kdor od Ahába umre v mestu, ga bodo žrli psi. Tistega, ki umre na polju, pa bo žrla perjad neba.

25 But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife instigated.

Toda nikogar ni bilo podobnega Ahábu, ki bi se prodal, da počne zlobnost v Gospodovih očeh, katerega je razvnela njegova žena Jezabela.

26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all [things] as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

Zelo gnusno je počel v sledenju malikom, glede na vse stvari, kakor so storili Amoréjci, ki jih je Gospod pregnal pred Izraelovimi otroki.«

27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

Ko je Aháb slišal te besede, se je pripetilo, da je pretrgal svoja oblačila in si na svoje meso nadel vrečevino, se postil, ležal v vrečevini in tiho hodil.

28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

Gospodova beseda je prišla k Tišbéjcu Eliju, rekoč:

29 Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: [but] in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.

»Ali vidiš, kako se je Aháb ponižal pred menoj? Ker se ponižuje pred menoj, zla ne bom privedel v njegovih dneh, temveč bom v dneh njegovega sina nad njegovo hišo privedel zlo.«
