1 Kraljevima 18
1 Poslije mnogo vremena, treæe godine, doðe rijeè Gospodnja Iliji govoreæi: idi, pokaži se Ahavu, i pustiæu dažd na zemlju.
And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the Lord came to Eliu in the third year, saying, Go, and appear before Achaab, and I will bring rain upon the face of the earth.
2 I otide Ilija da se pokaže Ahavu, a bijaše velika glad u Samariji.
And Eliu went to appear before Achaab: and the famine [was] severe in Samaria.
3 I Ahav dozva Avdiju, koji bijaše upravitelj dvora njegova; a Avdija se bojaše Gospoda veoma.
And Achaab called Abdiu the steward. Now Abdiu feared the Lord greatly.
4 Jer kad Jezavelja ubijaše proroke Gospodnje, uze Avdija sto proroka, i sakri ih, po pedeset u jednu peæinu, i hrani ih hljebom i vodom.
And it came to pass when Jezabel struck the prophets of the Lord, that Abdiu took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.
5 I reèe Ahav Avdiji: poði po zemlji na izvore i na potoke, eda bismo našli trave da saèuvamo u životu konje i mazge, da nam ne izgine stoka.
And Achaab said to Abdiu, Come, and let us go through the land, and to the fountains of water, and to the brooks, if by any means we may find grass, and may save the horses and mules, and so they will not perish from the tents.
6 I podijeliše meðu se zemlju kuda æe iæi; Ahav otide jednijem putem sam, a Avdija otide drugim putem sam.
And they made a division of the way between them to pass through it: Achaab went one way, and Abdiu went by another way alone.
7 A kad Avdija bijaše na putu, gle, srete ga Ilija; i on ga pozna, i pade nièice, i reèe: jesi li ti, gospodaru moj Ilija?
And Abdiu was alone in the way; and Eliu came alone to meet him: and Abdiu hasted, and fell upon his face, and said, My lord Eliu, are you [indeed] he?
8 A on mu reèe: ja sam; idi, kaži gospodaru svojemu: evo Ilije.
And Eliu said to him, I [am]: go say to your master, Behold, Eliu [is here].
9 A on reèe: šta sam zgriješio, da slugu svojega predaš u ruke Ahavu da me pogubi?
And Abdiu said, What sin have I committed, that you give your servant into the hand of Achaab to kill me?
10 Tako da je živ Gospod Bog tvoj, nema naroda ni carstva kuda nije slao gospodar moj da te traže: i rekoše: nema ga. A on zakle carstva i narode da te ne mogu da naðu.
[As] the Lord your God lives, there is not a nation or kingdom, whither my lord has not sent to seek you; and if they said, He is not [here], then has he set fire to the kingdom and its territories, because he has not found you.
11 A ti sada kažeš: idi, kaži gospodaru svojemu: evo Ilije.
And now you say, Go, tell your lord, Behold, Eliu [is here].
12 A kad ja otidem od tebe, duh æe te Gospodnji odnijeti, a ja neæu znati kuda; pa da otidem i prokažem Ahavu, a on da te ne naðe, ubiæe me; a sluga se tvoj boji Gospoda od mladosti svoje.
And it shall come to pass when I shall have departed from you, that the Spirit of the Lord shall carry you to a land which I know not, and I shall go in to tell the matter to Achaab, and he will not find you and will kill me: yet your servant fears the Lord from his youth.
13 Nije li kazano gospodaru mojemu šta sam uèinio kad Jezavelja ubijaše proroke Gospodnje? kako sakrih stotinu proroka Gospodnjih, po pedeset u jednu peæinu, i hranih ih hljebom i vodom.
Has it not been told to you my lord, what I did when Jezabel killed the prophets of the Lord, that I hid a hundred men of the prophets of the Lord, by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
14 A ti sada kažeš: idi, kaži gospodaru svojemu: evo Ilije. Ubiæe me.
And now you say to me, Go, say to your master, Behold, Eliu [is here]: and he shall kill me.
15 A Ilija reèe: tako da je živ Gospod nad vojskama, pred kojim stojim, danas æu mu se pokazati.
And Eliu said, [As] the Lord of Hosts before whom I stand lives, today I will appear before him.
16 Tada otide Avdija pred Ahava, i kaza mu; i Ahav otide pred Iliju.
And Abdiu went to meet Achaab, and told him: and Achaab hasted forth, and went to meet Eliu.
17 A kad vidje Ahav Iliju, reèe mu Ahav: jesi li ti onaj što nesreæu donosiš na Izrailja?
And it came to pass when Achaab saw Eliu, that Achaab said to Eliu, Are you he that perverts Israel?
18 A on reèe: ne donosim ja nesreæe na Izrailja, nego ti i dom oca tvojega ostavivši zapovijesti Gospodnje i pristavši za Valima.
And Eliu said, I do not pervert Israel; but it is you and your father's house, in that you forsake the Lord your God, and you have gone after Baalim.
19 Nego sada pošlji i saberi k meni svega Izrailja na goru Karmilsku, i èetiri stotine i pedeset proroka Valovijeh i èetiri stotine proroka iz luga, koji jedu za stolom Jezaveljinim.
And now send, gather to me all Israel to mount Carmel, and the prophets of shame four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, that eat [at] Jezabel's table.
20 I posla Ahav k svijem sinovima Izrailjevijem, i sabra one proroke na goru Karmilsku.
And Achaab sent to all Israel, and gathered all the prophets to mount Carmel.
21 Tada pristupi Ilija ka svemu narodu i reèe: dokle æete hramati na obje strane? Ako je Gospod Bog, idite za njim; ako li je Val, idite za njim. Ali narod ne odgovori mu ni rijeèi.
And Eliu drew near to them all: and Eliu said to them, How long will you halt on both feet? if the Lord be God, follow him; but if Baal, follow him. And the people answered not a word.
22 A Ilija reèe narodu: ja sam sam ostao prorok Gospodnji; a proroka Valovijeh ima èetiri stotine i pedeset.
And Eliu said to the people, I am left, the only one prophet of the Lord; and the prophets of Baal [are] four hundred and fifty men, and the prophets of the groves four hundred.
23 Dajte nam dva junca, i neka oni izberu sebi jednoga, i neka ga isijeku na komade i metnu na drva, ali ognja da ne podmeæu; a ja æu prigotoviti drugoga junca, i metnuæu ga na drva, ali ognja neæu podmetati.
Let them give us two oxen, and let them choose one for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire [on] the wood: and I will dress the other bullock, and put on no fire.
24 Tada prizovite ime svojih bogova, a ja æu prizvati ime Gospodnje, pa koji se Bog odzove ognjem onaj neka je Bog. I sav narod odgovori i reèe: dobro reèe.
And do you call loudly on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord my God, and it shall come to pass that the God who shall answer by fire, he [is] God. And all the people answered and said, The word which you have spoken [is] good.
25 Potom reèe Ilija prorocima Valovijem: izaberite sebi jednoga junca i prigotovite ga prvo, jer je vas više; i prizovite ime bogova svojih, ali ognja ne podmeæite.
And Eliu said to the prophets of shame, Choose to yourselves one calf, and dress it first, for you [are] many; and call you on the name of your god; but apply no fire.
26 I uzeše junca, kojega im dade, i prigotoviše, i stadoše prizivati ime Valovo od jutra do podne govoreæi: Vale, usliši nas! Ali ni kaka glasa ni koga da odgovori. I skakahu oko oltara, koji naèiniše.
And they took the calf and dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning till noon, and said, hear us, O Baal, hear us. And there was no voice, neither was there hearing, and they ran up and down on the altar which they [had] made.
27 A kad bi u podne, stade im se rugati Ilija govoreæi: vièite veæma; jer je on bog! valjada se nešto zamislio, ili je u poslu, ili na putu, ili može biti spava, da se probudi.
And it was noon, and Eliu the Thesbite mocked them, and said, Call with a loud voice, for he is a god; for he is meditating, or else perhaps he is engaged in business, or perhaps he is asleep, and is to be awaked.
28 A oni stadoše vikati iza glasa, i parati se nožima i šilima po svom obièaju, dokle ih krv ne obli.
And they cried with a loud voice, and cut themselves according to their custom with knives and lancets until the blood gushed out upon them.
29 A kad proðe podne, stadoše prorokovati dokle doðe vrijeme da se prinese dar; ali ni kaka glasa ni koga da odgovori, ni koga da èuje.
And they prophesied until the evening came; and it came to pass as it was the time of the offering of the sacrifice, that Eliu the Thesbite spoke to the prophets of the abominations, saying, Stand by for the present, and I will offer my sacrifice. And they stood aside and departed.
30 Tada reèe Ilija svemu narodu: pristupite k meni. I pristupi k njemu sav narod. Tada on opravi oltar Gospodnji koji bješe razvaljen.
And Eliu said to the people, Come near to me. And all the people came near to him.
31 I uze Ilija dvanaest kamena prema broju plemena sinova Jakova, kojemu doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi: Izrailj æe ti biti ime.
And Eliu took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of Israel, as the Lord spoke to him, saying, Israel shall be your name.
32 I naèini od toga kamenja oltar u ime Gospodnje, i oko oltara iskopa opkop širok da bi se mogle posijati dvije mjere žita.
And he built up the stones in the name of the Lord, and repaired the altar that had been broken down; and he made a trench that would hold two measures of seed round about the altar.
33 I namjesti drva, i junca isjeèena na komade metnu na drva.
And he piled the cleft wood on the altar which he [had] made, and divided the whole burnt offering, and laid [it] on the wood, and laid [it] in order on the altar, and said, Fetch me four pitchers of water, and pour [it] on the whole burnt offering, and on the wood. And they did so.
34 I reèe: napunite èetiri vijedra vode, i izlijte na žrtvu i na drva. Pa opet reèe: uèinite još jednom. I uèiniše još jednom. Pa opet reèe: uèinite i treæom. I uèiniše treæom,
And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.
35 Te voda poteèe oko oltara, i napuni se opkop vode.
And the water ran round about the altar, and they filled the trench with water.
36 A kad bi vrijeme da se prinese žrtva, pristupi Ilija prorok i reèe: Gospode Bože Avramov, Isakov i Izrailjev, neka danas poznadu da si ti Bog u Izrailju i ja da sam tvoj sluga, i da sam po tvojoj rijeèi uèinio sve ovo.
And Eliu cried aloud to the heaven, and said, Lord God of Abraam, and Isaac, and Israel, answer me, O Lord, answer me this day by fire, and let all this people know that you are the Lord, the God of Israel, and I [am] your servant, and for your sake I have wrought these works.
37 Usliši me, Gospode, usliši me, da bi poznao ovaj narod da si ti Gospode Bog, kad opet obratiš srca njihova.
Hear me, O Lord, hear me, and let this people know that you are the Lord God, and you have turned back the heart of this people.
38 Tada pade oganj Gospodnji i spali žrtvu paljenicu i drva i kamen i prah, i vodu u opkopu popi.
Then fire fell from the Lord out of heaven, and devoured the whole burnt offerings, and the wood and the water that was in the trench, and the fire licked up the stones and the earth.
39 A narod kad to vidje sav popada nièice, i rekoše: Gospod je Bog, Gospod je Bog.
And all the people fell upon their faces, and said, Truly the Lord [is] God; he [is] God.
40 Tada im reèe Ilija: pohvatajte te proroke Valove da nijedan ne uteèe. I pohvataše ih, i Ilija ih odvede na potok Kison, i pokla ih ondje.
And Eliu said to the people, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them; and Eliu brings them down to the brook Kisson, and he killed them there.
41 I reèe Ilija Ahavu: idi, jedi i pij, jer uji veliki dažd.
And Eliu said to Achaab, Go up, and eat and drink, for [there is] a sound of the coming of rain.
42 I otide Ahav da jede i pije; a Ilija se pope na vrh Karmila, i saže se k zemlji i metnu lice svoje meðu koljena svoja.
And Achaab went up to eat and to drink; and Eliu went up to Carmel, and stooped to the ground, and put his face between his knees,
43 A momku svojemu reèe: idi, pogledaj put mora. A on otišav pogleda, pa reèe: nema ništa. I reèe mu: idi opet sedam puta.
and said to his servant, Go up, and look toward the sea. And the servant looked, and said, There is nothing: and Eliu said, Do you then go again seven times.
44 A kad bi sedmi put, reèe: eno, mali oblak kao dlan èovjeèji diže se od mora. Tada reèe: idi, reci Ahavu: preži i idi, da te ne uhvati dažd.
And the servant went again seven times: and it came to pass at the seventh time, that, behold, a little cloud like the sole of a man's foot brought water; and he said, Go up, and say to Achaab, make ready your chariot, and go down, lest the rain overtake you.
45 Utom se zamraèi nebo od oblaka i vjetra, i udari velik dažd. A Ahav sjedavši na kola otide u Jezrael.
And it came to pass in the meanwhile, that the heaven grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Achaab wept, and went to Jezrael.
46 A ruka Gospodnja doðe nad Iliju, i on opasavši se otrèa pred Ahavom dokle doðe u Jezrael.
And the hand of the Lord [was] upon Eliu, and he girded up his loins, and ran before Achaab to Jezrael.
