< 2 Chronicles 18 >
1 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab.
Torej Józafat je imel bogastev in časti v obilju in sklenil svaštvo z Ahábom.
2 After some years, he went down to Ahab to Samaria. Ahab killed sheep and cattle for him in abundance, and for the people who were with him, and moved him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead.
Po nekaj letih je odšel dol k Ahábu v Samarijo. Aháb je zanj in za ljudstvo, ki ga je imel s seboj, v obilju zaklal ovce in vole in pregovoril ga je, da gre z njim gor v Ramót Gileád.
3 Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?” He answered him, “I am as you are, and my people as your people. We will be with you in the war.”
Izraelov kralj Aháb je rekel Judovemu kralju Józafatu: »Hočeš iti z menoj v Ramót Gileád?« Ta mu je odgovoril: »Jaz sem, kakor si ti in moje ljudstvo kakor tvoje ljudstvo, in mi bomo s teboj v vojni.«
4 Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for Yahweh’s word.”
Józafat je Izraelovemu kralju rekel: »Poizvedi, prosim te, danes pri Gospodovi besedi.«
5 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” They said, “Go up, for God will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
Zato je Izraelov kralj izmed prerokov skupaj zbral štiristo mož in jim rekel: »Ali naj gremo v Ramót Gileád, da se bojujemo ali naj [to] opustim?« Rekli so: »Pojdi gor, kajti Bog ga bo izročil v kraljevo roko.«
6 But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there here a prophet of Yahweh besides, that we may inquire of him?”
Toda Józafat je rekel: » Ali tukaj poleg ni Gospodovega preroka, da bi lahko poizvedeli od njega?
7 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh; but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla.” Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”
Izraelov kralj je Józafatu rekel: » Je še en mož, pri katerem bi lahko povprašali Gospoda, toda jaz ga sovražim, kajti nikoli mi ne prerokuje dobro, temveč vedno hudo. Ta isti je Jimlájev sin Miha.« Józafat je rekel: »Naj kralj ne govori tako.«
8 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, “Get Micaiah the son of Imla quickly.”
Izraelov kralj je dal poklicati enega izmed svojih častnikov in rekel: »Pojdi hitro po Jimlájevega sina Miha.«
9 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah each sat on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
Izraelov kralj in Judov kralj Józafat sta sedela, vsak izmed njiju na svojem prestolu, oblečena v njuna svečana oblačila in sedela na odprtem kraju pri vhodu velikih vrat Samarije, vsi preroki pa so prerokovali pred njima.
10 Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron and said, “Yahweh says, ‘With these you shall push the Syrians, until they are consumed.’”
Kenaanájev sin Cidkijá si je naredil rogove iz železa in rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›S temi boš porinil Sirijo, dokler ne bodo použiti.
11 All the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper; for Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
Vsi preroki so prerokovali tako, rekoč: »Pojdi gor v Ramót Gileád in uspevaj, kajti Gospod ga bo izročil v kraljevo roko.«
12 The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Let your word therefore, please be like one of theirs, and speak good.”
Poslanec, ki je odšel, da pokliče Miha, mu je spregovoril, rekoč: »Glej, besede prerokov soglasno kralju razglašajo dobro. Naj bo torej tvoja beseda, prosim te, kakor ena izmed njihovih in govori dobro.«
13 Micaiah said, “As Yahweh lives, I will say what my God says.”
Miha je rekel: » Kakor živi Gospod, kar reče moj Bog, to bom govoril.«
14 When he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” He said, “Go up, and prosper. They shall be delivered into your hand.”
Ko je prišel h kralju, mu je kralj rekel: »Miha, ali naj gremo gor v Ramót Gileád, da se bojujemo ali naj [to] opustim?« Ta je rekel: »Pojdite gor in uspevajte in izročeni bodo v vašo roko.«
15 The king said to him, “How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in Yahweh’s name?”
Kralj mu je rekel: »Kolikokrat te bom zaklinjal, da mi ne poveš ničesar, razen resnice, v Gospodovem imenu?«
16 He said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. Yahweh said, ‘These have no master. Let them each return to his house in peace.’”
Potem je rekel: »Videl sem vsega Izraela razkropljenega po gorah kakor ovce, ki nimajo pastirja in Gospod je rekel: ›Ti nimajo gospodarja, naj se torej vrnejo v miru, vsak mož k svoji hiši.‹«
17 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”
Izraelov kralj je Józafatu rekel: »Ali ti nisem rekel, da mi ne bo prerokoval dobro, temveč zlo?«
18 Micaiah said, “Therefore hear Yahweh’s word: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
Ponovno je rekel: »Zato poslušajte besedo od Gospoda: ›Videl sem Gospoda sedeti na svojem prestolu in vso nebeško vojsko stati na njegovi desni roki in na njegovi levi.‹
19 Yahweh said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One spoke saying in this way, and another saying in that way.
Gospod je rekel: ›Kdo bo premamil Izraelovega kralj Ahába, da gre lahko gor in pade pri Ramót Gileádu?‹ Eden je odgovoril na ta način, drugi je odgovoril na ta način.
20 A spirit came out, stood before Yahweh, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ “Yahweh said to him, ‘How?’
Tedaj je šel naprej duh in obstal pred Gospodom ter rekel: ›Jaz ga bom premamil.‹ Gospod mu je rekel: ›S čim?‹
21 “He said, ‘I will go, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ “He said, ‘You will entice him, and will prevail also. Go and do so.’
Rekel je: ›Šel bom ven in bom lažniv duh v ustih vseh njegovih prerokov.‹ In Gospod je rekel: ›Ti ga boš premamil in ti ga boš tudi pregovoril. Pojdi ven in stôri tako.‹
22 “Now therefore, behold, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; and Yahweh has spoken evil concerning you.”
Zdaj torej glejte, Gospod je položil lažnivega duha v usta teh tvojih prerokov in Gospod je zoper tebe govoril zlo.«
23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did Yahweh’s Spirit go from me to speak to you?”
Potem je Kenaanájev sin Cidkijá prišel bliže in udaril Miha po licu ter rekel: »Katero pot je odšel Gospodov duh od mene, da govori tebi?«
24 Micaiah said, “Behold, you shall see on that day, when you go into an inner room to hide yourself.”
Miha je rekel: »Glej, videl boš ta dan, ko boš šel v notranjo sobo, da se skriješ.«
25 The king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;
Potem je Izraelov kralj rekel: »Vzemite Miha in ga odvedite nazaj k Amónu, voditelju mesta in h kraljevemu sinu Joášu
26 and say, ‘The king says, “Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.”’”
ter recite: ›Tako govori kralj: ›Tega pajdaša postavita v ječo in ga hranita s kruhom stiske in z vodo stiske, dokler se ne vrnem v miru.‹«
27 Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, Yahweh has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, you people, all of you!”
Miha je rekel: »Če se zagotovo vrneš v miru, potem po meni ni govoril Gospod.« Rekel je [še]: »Prisluhnite vsa ve ljudstva.«
28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
Tako sta Izraelov kralj in Judov kralj Józafat odšla gor do Ramót Gileáda.
29 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle.
Izraelov kralj je Józafatu rekel: »Preoblekel se bom in šel v bitko, toda ti si nadeni svoja svečana oblačila.« Tako se je Izraelov kralj preoblekel in odšla sta na bitko.
30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, “Don’t fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.”
Torej sirski kralj je zapovedal poveljnikom bojnih vozov, ki so bili z njim, rekoč: »Ne borite se z malim ali velikim, razen samo z Izraelovim kraljem.«
31 When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “It is the king of Israel!” Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshaphat cried out, and Yahweh helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
Pripetilo se je, ko so poveljniki bojnih vozov zagledali Józafata, da so rekli: »Ta je Izraelov kralj.« Zato so ga obdali, da se bojujejo, toda Józafat je zavpil in Gospod mu je pomagal in Bog jih je spodbodel, da odidejo od njega.
32 When the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
Kajti pripetilo se je, da ko so poveljniki bojnih vozov zaznali, da to ni bil Izraelov kralj, so se ponovno obrnili nazaj od zasledovanja [za] njim.
33 A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of the chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am severely wounded.”
Nek mož pa je preprosto napel lok in Izraelovega kralja zadel med člene prsnega oklepa. Zato je vozniku svojega bojnega voza rekel: »Obrni svojo roko, da me lahko odvedeš iz vojske, kajti ranjen sem.«
34 The battle increased that day. However, the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening; and at about sunset, he died.
Bitka je ta dan narasla, vendar je Izraelov kralj sam stal pokonci na svojem bojnem vozu zoper Sirce do večera, okoli časa zahajanja sonca pa je umrl.
