2 Kings 1
1 Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
Potem se je, po Ahábovi smrti, Moáb uprl zoper Izraela.
2 Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, “Go, enquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover of this sickness.”
Ahazjá je padel dol skozi mrežo v svoji gornji sobi, ki je bila v Samariji in je bil bolan. Poslal je poslance in jim rekel: »Pojdite, poizvedite od Báal Zebúba, boga v Ekrónu, ali si bom opomogel od te bolezni.«
3 But the LORD’s angel said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you go to enquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron?
Toda Gospodov angel je rekel Tišbéjcu Eliju: »Vstani, pojdi gor, da srečaš poslance samarijskega kralja in jim reci: › Mar ni zato, ker ni Boga v Izraelu, da greste povpraševat ekrónskega boga Báal Zebúba?‹
4 Now therefore the LORD says, “You will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.”’” Then Elijah departed.
Zdaj torej tako govori Gospod: ›Ne boš prišel dol iz svoje postelje, na katero si zlezel, temveč boš zagotovo umrl.‹« In Elija je odšel.
5 The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, “Why is it that you have returned?”
Ko so se poslanci obrnili nazaj k njemu, jim je rekel: »Zakaj ste se torej obrnili nazaj?«
6 They said to him, “A man came up to meet us, and said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, “The LORD says, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you send to enquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.’”’”
Rekli so mu: »Vzdignil se je mož, da nas sreča in nam rekel: ›Pojdite, ponovno se obrnite h kralju, ki vas je poslal in mu recite: ›Tako govori Gospod: › Mar ni zato, ker ni Boga v Izraelu, da pošiljaš povpraševat ekrónskega boga Báal Zebúba?‹ Zato ne boš prišel dol iz svoje postelje, na katero si zlezel, temveč boš zagotovo umrl.‹«
7 He said to them, “What kind of man was he who came up to meet you and told you these words?”
Rekel jim je: »Kakšne vrste mož je bil ta, ki se je vzdignil, da vas sreča in vam je povedal te besede?«
8 They answered him, “He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist.” He said, “It’s Elijah the Tishbite.”
Odgovorili so mu: » Bil je kosmat človek in z usnjenim pasom opasan okoli ledij.« Rekel je: »To je Tišbéjec Elija.«
9 Then the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down!’”
Potem je kralj poslal k njemu petdesetnika z njegovimi petdesetimi. Ta je odšel gor k njemu, in glej, sedel je na vrhu hriba. Nagovoril ga je: »Božji mož, kralj je rekel: ›Pridi dol.‹«
10 Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!” Then fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
Elija je odgovoril in petdesetniku rekel: »Če sem Božji mož, potem naj dol z neba pride ogenj in použije tebe in tvojih petdeset.« Dol z neba je prišel ogenj in použil njega in njegovih petdeset.
11 Again he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. He answered him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down quickly!’”
Ponovno je k njemu poslal drugega petdesetnika z njegovimi petdesetimi. Ta je odgovoril in mu rekel: »Oh Božji mož, tako je rekel kralj: ›Pridi hitro dol.‹«
12 Elijah answered them, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!” Then God’s fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
Elija je odgovoril in jim rekel: »Če sem Božji mož, naj dol z neba pride ogenj in použije tebe in tvojih petdeset.« In ogenj od Boga je prišel z neba in použil njega in njegovih petdeset.
13 Again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, “Man of God, please let my life and the life of these fifty of your servants be precious in your sight.
Ponovno je poslal tretjega petdesetnika z njegovimi petdesetimi. Tretji petdesetnik je odšel gor, prišel in pred Elijem padel na kolena, ga rotil in mu rekel: »Oh Božji mož, prosim te, naj bodo moje življenje in življenja teh petdesetih tvojih služabnikov dragocena v tvojih očeh.
14 Behold, fire came down from the sky and consumed the last two captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight.”
Glej, prišel je ogenj dol z neba in sežgal dva poveljnika prejšnjih petdesetih z njunimi petdesetimi. Zatorej naj bo moje življenje sedaj dragoceno v tvojih očeh.«
15 The LORD’s angel said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Don’t be afraid of him.” Then he arose and went down with him to the king.
Gospodov angel je rekel Eliju: »Z njim pojdi dol. Ne boj se ga.« In vstal je in z njim odšel dol h kralju.
16 He said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Because you have sent messengers to enquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.’”
Rekel mu je: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Ker kakor si poslal poslance, da poizvejo od ekrónskega boga Báal Zebúba, mar ni to zato, ker ni Boga v Izraelu, da bi povprašal po njegovi besedi? Zato ne boš prišel dol iz postelje, na katero si zlezel, temveč boš zagotovo umrl.‹«
17 So he died according to the LORD’s word which Elijah had spoken. Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, because he had no son.
Tako je umrl glede na Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je Elija govoril. Namesto njega je zakraljeval Jehorám, v drugem letu Józafatovega sina Jehoráma, Judovega kralja, ker ni imel sina.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Torej preostala izmed Ahazjájevih dejanj, ki jih je storil, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Izraelovih kraljev?
