1 Kings 21
1 After these things, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
Nakon tih događaja dogodilo se ovo: Nabot Jizreelac imao vinograd kraj palače Ahaba, kralja samarijskog,
2 Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”
i Ahab ovako reče Nabotu: “Ustupi mi svoj vinograd da mi bude za povrtnjak jer je blizu moje kuće. Ja ću ti dati za nj bolji vinograd, ili, ako to želiš, dat ću ti novca koliko vrijedi.”
3 Naboth said to Ahab, “May the LORD forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”
Ali Nabot reče Ahabu: “Jahve me sačuvao od toga da ti ustupim baštinu svojih otaca!”
4 Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him, for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
Ahab se vrati kući mrk i ljutit zbog riječi koju mu je Nabot Jizreelac rekao: “Ne dam ti baštine svojih otaca.” Legao je na postelju i okrenuo lice i nije htio okusiti hrane.
5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sad that you eat no bread?”
Dođe mu njegova žena Izebela i reče: “Zašto si zlovoljan i ne mariš za hranu?”
6 He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’”
On joj odgovori: “Govorio sam Nabotu Jizreelcu i rekao mu: 'Ustupi mi svoj vinograd za novac, ili, ako ti je draže, dat ću ti drugi vinograd za taj.' Ali mi je on rekao: 'Ne dam ti svoga vinograda.'”
7 Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
Tada mu žena Izebela reče: “Jesi li ti onaj koji kraljuje nad Izraelom! Ustani i jedi i budi dobre volje. Ja ću ti pribaviti vinograd Nabota Jizreelca.”
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 who were in his city, who lived with Naboth.
I napisa ona pisma u ime Ahabovo i zapečati ih kraljevskim pečatom. Pisma je poslala starješinama i glavarima Nabotovim sugrađanima.
9 She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high amongst the people.
U tim je pismima napisala: “Proglasite post i postavite Nabota na čelo naroda.
10 Set two men, wicked fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him to death.”
Postavite prema njemu dva nitkova koji će ga optužiti: 'Proklinjao si Boga i kralja!' Tada ga izvedite i kamenujte ga da pogine.”
11 The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had instructed them in the letters which she had written and sent to them.
I učiniše ljudi Nabotova grada, starješine i glavari, kako im je Izebela zapovjedila i kako je pisalo u pismima koja im je uputila.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high amongst the people.
Proglasiše post i Nabota postaviše na čelo naroda.
13 The two men, the wicked fellows, came in and sat before him. The wicked fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city and stoned him to death with stones.
Tada dođoše dva nitkova, sjedoše mu nasuprot i optužiše Nabota pred narodom: “Nabot je proklinjao Boga i kralja.” I tako izvedoše Nabota izvan grada, zasuše ga kamenjem i on pogibe.
14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned and is dead.”
Zatim poručiše Izebeli: “Nabot je kamenovan i umro je.”
15 When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
Pošto je Izebela čula da je Nabot kamenovan i da je umro, reče Ahabu: “Ustani i zaposjedni vinograd što ti ga Nabot Jizreelac ne htjede ustupiti za novac. Nabot više nije živ, on je mrtav.”
16 When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
Kada je Ahab doznao da je Nabot mrtav, ustade i siđe u vinograd Nabota Jizreelca da ga zaposjedne.
17 The LORD’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Tada bi upućena riječ Jahvina Iliji Tišbijcu:
18 “Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.
“Ustani i siđi u Samariju, u susret Ahabu, kralju izraelskom. Eno ga u vinogradu Nabotovu u koji je sišao da ga zaposjedne.
19 You shall speak to him, saying, ‘The LORD says, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘The LORD says, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’”
Reci mu: 'Ovako veli Jahve: Umorio si, oteo si! Zato ovako veli Jahve: Na mjestu gdje su psi lizali Nabotovu krv, lizat će psi i tvoju.'”
20 Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the LORD’s sight.
Ahab reče Iliji: “Nađe li me, neprijatelju moj?” Ilija odgovori: “Nađoh te, jer si se prodao da činiš što je zlo u očima Jahvinim.
21 Behold, I will bring evil on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.
Evo, tek što nisam navukao na te nesreću. Pomest ću tvoje potomstvo, istrijebiti Ahabu sve što mokri uza zid, robove i slobodnjake u Izraelu.
22 I will make your 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 you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.”
Učinit ću s tvojom kućom kao s kućom Jeroboama, sina Nebatova, i s kućom Baše, sina Ahijina, jer si me rasrdio i naveo Izraela na grijeh.
23 The LORD also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs will eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.
I nad Izebelom reče Jahve: psi će proždrijeti Izebelu na Jizreelskom polju.
24 The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field.”
Tko od obitelji Ahabove umre u gradu, psi će ga izjesti, a tko umre u polju, pojest će ga ptice nebeske.”
25 But there was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
Doista, nitko se nije prodao tako kao Ahab da čini što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, jer ga je zavodila njegova žena Izebela.
26 He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
Činio je vrlo odvratna djela: išao je za idolima baš kao što su činili Amorejci, koje je Jahve protjerao ispred Izraelaca.
27 When Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his body, fasted, lay in sackcloth, and went about despondently.
Kad je Ahab čuo te riječi, razdrije svoje haljine i stavi kostrijet na tijelo; i postio je, u kostrijeti je spavao i naokolo išao tiho jecajući.
28 The LORD’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Tada dođe riječ Jahvina Iliji Tišbijcu:
29 “See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but I will bring the evil on his house in his son’s day.”
“Jesi li vidio kako se Ahab preda mnom ponizio? Budući da se tako ponizio preda mnom, neću zla pustiti za njegova života; u vrijeme njegova sina pustit ću zlo na kuću njegovu.”
