1 Kings 20
1 Ben Hadad the king of Syria gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, with horses and chariots. He went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
A Ven-Adad car Sirski skupi vojsku svoju, i imaše sa sobom trideset i dva cara, i konje i kola; i otišavši opkoli Samariju i stade je biti.
2 He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, “Ben Hadad says,
I posla poslanike k Ahavu caru Izrailjevu u grad,
3 ‘Your silver and your gold are mine. Your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine.’”
I poruèi mu: ovako veli Ven-Adad: srebro tvoje i zlato tvoje moje je, tako i žene tvoje i tvoji lijepi sinovi moji su.
4 The king of Israel answered, “It is according to your saying, my lord, O king. I am yours, and all that I have.”
A car Izrailjev odgovori i reèe: kao što si rekao, gospodaru moj care, ja sam tvoj i sve što imam.
5 The messengers came again and said, “Ben Hadad says, ‘I sent indeed to you, saying, “You shall deliver me your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children;
A poslanici opet doðoše i rekoše: ovako veli Ven-Adad: poslao sam k tebi i poruèio: srebro svoje i zlato svoje i žene svoje i sinove svoje da mi daš.
6 but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they will search your house and the houses of your servants. Whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they will put it in their hand, and take it away.”’”
Zato æu sjutra u ovo doba poslati sluge svoje k tebi da pregledaju kuæu tvoju i kuæe sluga tvojih, i što ti je god milo, oni æe uzeti i odnijeti.
7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, “Please notice how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I didn’t deny him.”
Tada dozva car Izrailjev sve starješine zemaljske i reèe: gledajte i vidite kako ovaj traži zlo; jer posla k meni po mene i po sinove moje i po srebro moje i po zlato moje, i ja mu ne branih.
8 All the elders and all the people said to him, “Don’t listen, and don’t consent.”
A sve starješine i sav narod rekoše mu: ne slušaj ga i ne pristaj.
9 Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben Hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do, but this thing I cannot do.’” The messengers departed and brought him back the message.
I reèe poslanicima Ven-Adadovijem: kažite caru gospodaru mojemu: što si prvo poruèio sluzi svojemu sve æu uèiniti; ali ovo ne mogu uèiniti. Tako otidoše poslanici i odnesoše mu taj odgovor.
10 Ben Hadad sent to him, and said, “The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria will be enough for handfuls for all the people who follow me.”
A Ven-Adad posla k njemu i poruèi: tako da mi uèine bogovi i tako da dodadu! neæe biti dosta praha od Samarije da svemu narodu koji ide za mnom dopadne po jedna grst.
11 The king of Israel answered, “Tell him, ‘Don’t let him who puts on his armor brag like he who takes it off.’”
A car Izrailjev odgovori i reèe: kažite: neka se ne hvali onaj koji se opasuje kao onaj koji se raspasuje.
12 When Ben Hadad heard this message as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, he said to his servants, “Prepare to attack!” So they prepared to attack the city.
A kad on to èu pijuæi s carevima pod šatorima, reèe slugama svojim: dižite se. I digoše se na grad.
13 Behold, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, “The LORD says, ‘Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
Tada gle, pristupi jedan prorok k Ahavu caru Izrailjevu, i reèe: ovako veli Gospod: vidiš li sve ovo mnoštvo? evo, ja æu ti ga dati u ruke danas da poznaš da sam ja Gospod.
14 Ahab said, “By whom?” He said, “The LORD says, ‘By the young men of the princes of the provinces.’” Then he said, “Who shall begin the battle?” He answered, “You.”
A Ahav reèe: preko koga? A on reèe: ovako veli Gospod: preko momaka knezova zemaljskih. Opet reèe: ko æe zametnuti boj? A on reèe: ti.
15 Then he mustered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two. After them, he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
Tada prebroji momke knezova zemaljskih, i bješe ih dvjesta i trideset i dva; poslije njih prebroji sav narod, sve sinove Izrailjeve, i bješe ih sedam tisuæa.
16 They went out at noon. But Ben Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who helped him.
I izidoše u podne; a Ven-Adad pijuæi opi se u šatorima s trideset i dva cara koji mu doðoše u pomoæ.
17 The young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben Hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, “Men are coming out from Samaria.”
I izidoše prvo momci knezova zemaljskih; a Ven-Adad posla, i javiše mu i rekoše: izidoše ljudi iz Samarije.
18 He said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive.”
A on reèe: ako su izašli mira radi, pohvatajte ih žive; ako su izašli na boj, pohvatajte ih žive.
19 So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them.
I izidoše iz grada momci knezova zemaljskih, i vojska za njima.
20 They each killed his man. The Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen.
I svaki ubi s kojim se sukobi, te Sirci pobjegoše a Izrailjci ih potjeraše. I Ven-Adad car Sirski pobježe na konju s konjicima.
21 The king of Israel went out and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter.
I car Izrailjev izide i pobi konje i kola, i uèini velik pokolj meðu Sircima.
22 The prophet came near to the king of Israel and said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself, and plan what you must do, for at the return of the year, the king of Syria will come up against you.”
Potom doðe prorok k caru Izrailjevu i reèe mu: idi, budi hrabar; i promisli i vidi šta æeš èiniti, jer æe do godine opet doæi car Sirski na te.
23 The servants of the king of Syria said to him, “Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we. But let’s fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they.
A caru Sirskom rekoše sluge njegove: njihovi su bogovi gorski bogovi, zato nas nadjaèaše; nego da se bijemo s njima u polju, zacijelo æemo ih nadjaèati.
24 Do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their place.
Uèini dakle ovako: ukloni te careve s mjesta njihovijeh, i postavi vojvode mjesto njih.
25 Muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse and chariot for chariot. We will fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they are.” He listened to their voice and did so.
Pa skupi vojsku kakva je bila ona koja ti je izginula, i konje kakvi su bili oni konji, i kola kao ona kola; pa da se pobijemo s njima u polju; zacijelo æemo ih nadjaèati. I posluša ih, i uèini tako.
26 At the return of the year, Ben Hadad mustered the Syrians and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
A kad proðe godina, Ven-Adad prebroji Sirce, i poðe u Afek da vojuje na Izrailja.
27 The children of Israel were mustered and given provisions, and went against them. The children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of young goats, but the Syrians filled the country.
I sinovi Izrailjevi prebrojiše se, i ponesavši hrane izidoše pred njih. I stadoše u oko sinovi Izrailjevi prema njima, kao dva mala stada koza, a Sirci bijahu prekrilili zemlju.
28 A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “The LORD says, ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The LORD is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys,” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.’”
Tada doðe èovjek Božji, i progovori caru Izrailjevu i reèe: ovako veli Gospod: što Sirci rekoše da je Gospod gorski Bog a nije Bog poljski, zato æu ti dati u ruke sve ovo mnoštvo veliko da znate da sam ja Gospod.
29 They encamped opposite each other for seven days. Then on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Syrians in one day.
I stajahu u okolu jedni prema drugima sedam dana; a sedmoga dana pobiše se, i sinovi Izrailjevi pobiše Siraca sto tisuæa pješaka u jedan dan.
30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled and came into the city, into an inner room.
A ostali pobjegoše u grad Afek, i pade zid na dvadeset i sedam tisuæa ljudi koji bijahu ostali. I Ven-Adad pobjegav u grad uðe u najtajniju klijet.
31 His servants said to him, “See now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let us put sackcloth on our bodies and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Maybe he will save your life.”
A sluge mu rekoše: evo èuli smo da su carevi doma Izrailjeva milostivi carevi; da vežemo kostrijet oko sebe i da metnemo uzice sebi oko vratova, pa da izidemo pred cara Izrailjeva, da ako ostavi u životu dušu tvoju.
32 So they put sackcloth on their bodies and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, “Your servant Ben Hadad says, ‘Please let me live.’” He said, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.”
I vezaše kostrijet oko sebe, i metnuše uzice sebi oko vratova, i doðoše k caru Izrailjevu i rekoše: sluga tvoj Ven-Adad veli: ostavi u životu dušu moju. A on reèe: je li još živ? brat mi je.
33 Now the men observed diligently and hurried to take this phrase; and they said, “Your brother Ben Hadad.” Then he said, “Go, bring him.” Then Ben Hadad came out to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
A ljudi uzeše to za dobar znak, i odmah da bi ga uhvatili za rijeè rekoše: brat je tvoj Ven-Adad. A on reèe: idite, dovedite ga. Tada Ven-Adad izide k njemu; a on ga posadi na svoja kola.
34 Ben Hadad said to him, “The cities which my father took from your father I will restore. You shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.” “I”, said Ahab, “will let you go with this covenant.” So he made a covenant with him and let him go.
Tada mu reèe Ven-Adad: gradove koje je uzeo otac moj tvome ocu, vratiæu, i naèini sebi ulice u Damasku kao što je otac moj uèinio u Samariji. A on odgovori: s tom vjerom otpustiæu te. I uèini vjeru s njim, i otpusti ga.
35 A certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow by the LORD’s word, “Please strike me!” The man refused to strike him.
Tada jedan izmeðu sinova proroèkih reèe drugome po rijeèi Gospodnjoj: bij me. Ali ga onaj ne htje biti.
36 Then he said to him, “Because you have not obeyed the LORD’s voice, behold, as soon as you have departed from me, a lion will kill you.” As soon as he had departed from him, a lion found him and killed him.
A on mu reèe: što ne posluša glasa Gospodnjega, zato, evo kad otideš od mene, lav æe te zaklati. I kad otide od njega, sukobi ga lav i zakla ga.
37 Then he found another man, and said, “Please strike me.” The man struck him and wounded him.
Opet našav drugoga reèe mu: bij me. A onaj ga izbi i izrani ga.
38 So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.
Tada otide prorok i stade na put kuda æe car proæi, i nagrdi se pepelom po licu.
39 As the king passed by, he cried to the king, and he said, “Your servant went out into the middle of the battle; and behold, a man came over and brought a man to me, and said, ‘Guard this man! If by any means he is missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.’
A kad car prolažaše, on viknu cara i reèe: tvoj sluga bijaše izašao u boj, a jedan došavši dovede mi èovjeka i reèe: èuvaj ovoga èovjeka; ako li ga nestane, biæe tvoja duša za njegovu dušu, ili æeš platiti talanat srebra.
40 As your servant was busy here and there, he was gone.” The king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be. You yourself have decided it.”
A kad tvoj sluga imaše posla tamo amo, njega nesta. Tada mu reèe car Izrailjev: to ti je sud, sam si otsudio.
41 He hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized that he was one of the prophets.
A on brže ubrisa pepeo s lica, i car Izrailjev pozna ga da je jedan od proroka.
42 He said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life will take the place of his life, and your people take the place of his people.’”
A on mu reèe: ovako veli Gospod: što si pustio iz ruku èovjeka kojega sam ja osudio da se istrijebi, duša æe tvoja biti za njegovu dušu i narod tvoj za njegov narod.
43 The king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria.
I otide car Izrailjev kuæi svojoj zlovoljan i ljutit, i doðe u Samariju.
