2 Kings 4

1 And a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets hath cried unto Elisha, saying, 'Thy servant, my husband, is dead, and thou hast known that thy servant was fearing Jehovah, and the lender hath come to take my two children to him for servants.'

Žena jednoga od proročkih sinova zamoli Elizeja ovako: “Tvoj sluga, moj muž, umro je; a znaš da se tvoj sluga bojao Jahve. Sada je došao vjerovnik da mi uzme oba sina i učini ih svojim robovima.”

2 And Elisha saith unto her, 'What do I do for thee? declare to me, what hast thou in the house?' and she saith, 'Thy maid-servant hath nothing in the house except a pot of oil.'

Elizej joj reče: “Što ti mogu učiniti! Reci mi što imaš u kući?” Ona odgovori: “Tvoja sluškinja nema ništa u kući, osim vrča ulja.”

3 And he saith, 'Go, ask for thee vessels from without, from all thy neighbours — empty vessels — let [them] not be few;

Tada joj reče: “Idi i posudi od svih svojih susjeda praznih sudova, ali neka ih ne bude premalo!

4 and thou hast entered, and shut the door upon thee, and upon thy sons, and hast poured out into all these vessels, and the full ones thou dost remove.'

Zatim se vrati kući, zatvori vrata za sobom i za svojim sinovima i nalijevaj ulje u sve te sudove i pune stavljaj na stranu.”

5 And she goeth from him, and shutteth the door upon her, and upon her sons; they are bringing nigh unto her, and she is pouring out,

I ode ona od njega, zatvori vrata za sobom i za svojim sinovima. Oni su joj dodavali sudove, a ona ih punila.

6 and it cometh to pass, at the filling of the vessels, that she saith unto her son, 'Bring nigh unto me a vessel more,' and he saith unto her, 'There is not a vessel more;' and the oil stayeth.

I kad se sudovi napuniše, reče ona svome sinu: “Dodaj mi još jedan sud!” Ali joj on odgovori: “Nema više sudova.” I ulje stade.

7 And she cometh and declareth to the man of God, and he saith, 'Go, sell the oil, and repay thy loan; and thou [and] thy sons do live of the rest.'

Ona ode i kaza čovjeku Božjem, a on joj reče: “Idi, prodaj ulje i podmiri svoj dug, a od ostatka živjet ćeš ti i tvoji sinovi!”

8 And the day cometh that Elisha passeth over unto Shunem, and there [is] a great woman, and she layeth hold on him to eat bread, and it cometh to pass, at the time of his passing over, he turneth aside thither to eat bread,

Jednoga je dana Elizej prolazio kroza Šunam. A živjela ondje ugledna žena i ona ga pozva k stolu. Odonda, kad god prolazaše onuda, uvratio bi se k njoj na jelo.

9 and she saith unto her husband, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have known that a holy man of God he is, passing over by us continually;

Ona reče svome mužu: “Evo, znam i vidim da je svet onaj čovjek Božji što prolazi ovuda.

10 let us make, I pray thee, a little upper chamber of the wall, and we set for him there a bed, and a table, and a high seat, and a candlestick; and it hath been, in his coming in unto us, he doth turn aside thither.'

Načinimo mu sobicu na krovu, stavimo mu ondje postelju, stol, stolicu i svjetiljku: kad dođe k nama, povući će se onamo.”

11 And the day cometh, that he cometh in thither, and turneth aside unto the upper chamber, and lieth there,

Jednoga dana dođe on onamo, povuče se u gornju sobu i počinu ondje.

12 and he saith unto Gehazi his young man, 'Call for this Shunammite;' and he calleth for her, and she standeth before him.

Reče zatim svome momku Gehaziju: “Pozovi tu Šunamku!” On je pozva te ona stade preda nj.

13 And he saith to him, 'Say, I pray thee, unto her, Lo, thou hast troubled thyself concerning us with all this trouble; what — to do for thee? is it to speak for thee unto the king, or unto the head of the host?' and she saith, 'In the midst of my people I am dwelling.'

I još mu reče: “Kaži joj: 'Lijepo se brineš za nas. Što možemo učiniti za te? Treba li reći riječ za te kralju ili vojskovođi?'” Ali ona odgovori: “Ja živim usred svoga naroda.”

14 And he saith, 'And what — to do for her?' and Gehazi saith, 'Verily she hath no son, and her husband [is] aged.'

On nastavi: “Dakle, što da učinimo za nju?” Gehazi odgovori: “Eto, nema sina, a muž joj je vremešan.”

15 And he saith, 'Call for her;' and he calleth for her, and she standeth at the opening,

A on reče: “Pozovi je!” Pozva je, a ona stade kod ulaza.

16 and he saith, 'At this season, according to the time of life, thou art embracing a son;' and she saith, 'Nay, my lord, O man of God, do not lie unto thy maid-servant.'

“Dogodine u ovo doba”, reče joj, “zagrlit ćeš sina u naručju.” A ona reče: “Ne, gospodaru moj, ne varaj službenice svoje!”

17 And the woman conceiveth and beareth a son, at this season, according to the time of life, that Elisha spake of unto her.

Ali je žena doista zatrudnjela i rodila je sina druge godine u ono doba, kako joj je rekao Elizej.

18 And the lad groweth, and the day cometh that he goeth out unto his father, unto the reapers,

Dječak je rastao. Jednoga dana ode ocu kod žetelaca.

19 and he saith unto his father, 'My head, my head;' and he saith unto the young man, 'Bear him unto his mother;'

I potuži se ocu: “Jao, glava, glava moja!” A otac zapovjedi jednom momku da ga odnese majci.

20 and he beareth him, and bringeth him in unto his mother, and he sitteth on her knees till the noon, and dieth.

On ga uze i odvede ga njegovoj majci. Na njenim je koljenima ostao do podne i onda umrije.

21 And she goeth up, and layeth him on the bed of the man of God, and shutteth [the door] upon him, and goeth out,

Ona tada ode gore i položi ga u postelju Božjega čovjeka. Izišla je zatim i zaključala vrata.

22 and calleth unto her husband, and saith, 'Send, I pray thee, to me, one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I run unto the man of God, and return.'

Potom je pozvala svoga muža i rekla: “Pošalji mi jednoga od momaka i jednu magaricu; otrčat ću do čovjeka Božjeg i vratit ću se.”

23 And he saith, 'Wherefore art thou going unto him to-day? — neither new moon nor sabbath!' and she saith, 'Peace [to thee]!'

On je upita: “Zašto da danas pođeš k njemu? Nije ni mlađak niti je subota.” Ali ona odgovori: “Ostaj u miru!”

24 And she saddleth the ass, and saith unto her young man, 'Lead, and go, do not restrain riding for me, except I have said [so] to thee.'

Pošto joj je momak osamario magaricu, ona će mu: “Povedi i pođi! Ne zadržavaj me na putu, osim ako ti naredim.”

25 And she goeth, and cometh in unto the man of God, unto the hill of Carmel, and it cometh to pass, at the man of God's seeing her from over-against, that he saith unto Gehazi his young man, 'Lo, this Shunammite;

Ode ona i dođe k čovjeku Božjem, na goru Karmel. Kada je čovjek Božji ugleda izdaleka, reče svome momku Gehaziju: “Evo one Šunamke.

26 now, run, I pray thee, to meet her, and say to her, Is there peace to thee? is there peace to thy husband? is there peace to the lad?' and she saith, 'Peace.'

Otrči pred nju i pitaj je: 'Kako si? Je li ti muž dobro? Je li ti dijete zdravo?'” Ona odgovori: “Zdravi smo.”

27 And she cometh in unto the man of God, unto the hill, and layeth hold on his feet, and Gehazi cometh nigh to thrust her away, and the man of God saith, 'Let her alone, for her soul [is] bitter to her, and Jehovah hath hidden [it] from me, and hath not declared [it] to me.'

Kada je stigla do čovjeka Božjega na gori, obujmi mu noge. Gehazi pristupi da je odmakne, ali mu čovjek Božji reče: “Pusti je jer joj je duša ojađena. Jahve mi krije, nije mi ništa objavio.”

28 And she saith, 'Did I ask a son from my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?'

A ona reče: “Zar sam ja tražila sina od svoga gospodara? Nisam li ti govorila da me ne zavaravaš?”

29 And he saith to Gehazi, 'Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go; when thou dost meet a man, thou dost not salute him; and when a man doth salute thee, thou dost not answer him; and thou hast laid my staff on the face of the youth.'

On tada reče Gehaziju: “Opaši se, uzmi u ruku moj štap pa idi! Ako koga susretneš, ne pozdravljaj ga; ako te tko pozdravi, ne odzdravljaj mu. Moj štap položi na dječaka.”

30 And the mother of the youth saith, 'Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth — if I leave thee;' and he riseth and goeth after her.

Ali dječakova majka reče: “Života mi Jahvina i tvoga, neću te ostaviti!” On tada ustade i pođe za njom.

31 And Gehazi hath passed on before them, and layeth the staff on the face of the youth, and there is no voice, and there is no attention, and he turneth back to meet him, and declareth to him, saying, 'The youth hath not awaked.'

Gehazi je otišao prije njih i položio štap na dječaka, ali ne bješe ni glasa ni odziva. Vrati se on pred Elizeja i javi mu: “Dječak se nije probudio.”

32 And Elisha cometh in to the house, and lo, the youth is dead, laid on his bed,

Elizej uđe u kuću i nađe dječaka gdje mrtav leži na njegovoj postelji.

33 and he goeth in and shutteth the door upon them both, and prayeth unto Jehovah.

Ušavši, zatvori vrata za sobom i pomoli se Jahvi.

34 And he goeth up, and lieth down on the lad, and putteth his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and stretcheth himself upon him, and the flesh of the lad becometh warm;

Zatim se pope na postelju, leže na dječaka, položi svoja usta na njegova usta, svoje oči na njegove oči, svoje ruke na njegove ruke; disao je nad njim te se ugrijalo tijelo dječakovo.

35 and he turneth back and walketh in the house, once hither and once thither, and goeth up and stretcheth himself upon him, and the youth sneezeth till seven times, and the youth openeth his eyes.

Potom ustade i prošeta se po kući tamo-amo, zatim se opet pope i disaše nad njim. A dječak tada kihnu sedam puta i otvori oči.

36 And he calleth unto Gehazi, and saith, 'Call unto this Shunammite;' and he calleth her, and she cometh in unto him, and he saith, 'Lift up thy son.'

I zovnu Elizej Gehazija i reče: “Pozovi tu Šunamku.” On je pozva. Kad je stigla preda nj, reče joj: “Uzmi svoga sina.”

37 And she goeth in, and falleth at his feet, and boweth herself to the earth, and lifteth up her son, and goeth out.

Ona, ušavši, pade mu pred noge i pokloni se do zemlje. Zatim uze svoga sina te iziđe.

38 And Elisha hath turned back to Gilgal, and the famine [is] in the land, and the sons of the prophets are sitting before him, and he saith to his young man, 'Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.'

Elizej se vrati u Gilgal, a bijaše glad u zemlji. I kad su proročki sinovi sjedili pred njim, reče svome momku: “Stavi veliki lonac na vatru i skuhaj jelo sinovima proročkim.”

39 And one goeth out unto the field to gather herbs, and findeth a vine of the field, and gathereth of it gourds of the field — the fulness of his garment — and cometh in and splitteth [them] into the pot of pottage, for they knew [them] not;

Jedan od njih ode u polje da nabere zelja, ali nađe divlju povijušu i nabra s nje punu haljinu gorkih plodova. Vrati se i nareza ih u lonac, jer nije znao kakvi su.

40 and they pour out for the men to eat, and it cometh to pass at their eating of the pottage, that they have cried out, and say, 'Death [is] in the pot, O man of God!' and they have not been able to eat.

Usuše ljudima da jedu. Ali kad su počeli jesti, povikaše: “Čovječe Božji! Smrt je u loncu!” I nisu mogli jesti.

41 And he saith, 'Then bring ye meal;' and he casteth into the pot, and saith, 'Pour out for the people, and they eat;' and there was no evil thing in the pot.

Tada će Elizej: “Donesite brašna!” I baci ga u lonac i reče: “Uspite ljudima neka jedu!” I ništa više nije bilo štetno u loncu.

42 And a man hath come from Baal-Shalishah, and bringeth in to the man of God bread of first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in its husk, and he saith, 'Give to the people, and they eat.'

Neki čovjek došao iz Baal Šališe i donio čovjeku Božjem kruh od prvina, dvadeset ječmenih hljebova i kaše u torbi. A on zapovjedi: “Daj ljudima neka jedu!”

43 And his minister saith, 'What — do I give this before a hundred men?' and he saith, 'Give to the people, and they eat, for thus said Jehovah, Eat and leave;'

Ali njegov momak odgovori: “Kako to mogu postaviti pred stotinu ljudi?” On odgovori: “Podaj ljudima i neka jedu, jer ovako veli Jahve: 'Jest će i preostat će.'”

44 and he giveth before them, and they eat and leave, according to the word of Jehovah.

I postavi on pred njih. I jedoše i još preosta, prema riječi Jahvinoj.
