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 Yahweh, came unto Elijah, in the third year, saying, —Go, shew thyself unto Ahab, that I may send rain upon the face of the ground.
2 I otide Ilija da se pokaže Ahavu, a bijaše velika glad u Samariji.
And Elijah went, to show himself unto Ahab. Now, the famine, was severe in Samaria.
3 I Ahav dozva Avdiju, koji bijaše upravitelj dvora njegova; a Avdija se bojaše Gospoda veoma.
And Ahab had called for Obadiah, who was over his house. Now, Obadiah, was one who revered Yahweh, exceedingly.
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 so it came to pass, when Jezebel was cutting off the prophets of Yahweh, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifties in caves, and sustained 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.
So then Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go, and let us pass throughout the land, unto all the fountains of water, and unto all the ravines, peradventure we may find grass, and save alive horse and mule, and not have more of the beasts cut off.
6 I podijeliše meðu se zemlju kuda æe iæi; Ahav otide jednijem putem sam, a Avdija otide drugim putem sam.
So they divided to them the land, to pass through it, —Ahab, went one way, by himself, and, Obadiah, went another way, by himself.
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 so it was, as Obadiah was on the road, that lo! Elijah, met him, —and he recognised him, and fell upon his face, and said—Now art, thou, my lord Elijah?
8 A on mu reèe: ja sam; idi, kaži gospodaru svojemu: evo Ilije.
And he said to him—I, am! Go, say to thy lord: Here, is, Elijah!
9 A on reèe: šta sam zgriješio, da slugu svojega predaš u ruke Ahavu da me pogubi?
And he said—How have I sinned, —that, thou, art delivering thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to put me to death?
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.
By the life of Yahweh thy God, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee, and, when they have said—Nay! he hath taken an oath of the kingdom or the nation, that no one could find thee;
11 A ti sada kažeš: idi, kaži gospodaru svojemu: evo Ilije.
and, now, thou, art saying, —Go say to thy lord, Here, is, Elijah;
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.
so shall it come to pass, as soon as, I, go from thee, that, the spirit of Yahweh, shall carry thee away—whither I know not, and so, when I go in to tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, then will he slay me, —and yet, thy servant, hath revered Yahweh, from my 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.
Was it not told my lord, what I did when Jezebel was slaying the prophets of Yahweh, —how I hid, of the prophets of Yahweh, a hundred men—by fifties—in caves, and sustained them with bread and water?
14 A ti sada kažeš: idi, kaži gospodaru svojemu: evo Ilije. Ubiæe me.
and yet, now, thou, art saying, Go, tell thy lord—Here, is, Elijah; and so he will slay me!
15 A Ilija reèe: tako da je živ Gospod nad vojskama, pred kojim stojim, danas æu mu se pokazati.
Then said Elijah—By the life of Yahweh of hosts, before whom I stand, to-day, will I show myself unto him.
16 Tada otide Avdija pred Ahava, i kaza mu; i Ahav otide pred Iliju.
So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him, —and, Ahab, went to meet, Elijah.
17 A kad vidje Ahav Iliju, reèe mu Ahav: jesi li ti onaj što nesreæu donosiš na Izrailja?
And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Now, art, thou, troubling 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 he said—I have not troubled Israel, but, thou and the house of thy father, —in that ye have forsaken the commandments of Yahweh, and followed Baal.
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.
Now, therefore, send, gather unto me all Israel, unto Mount Carmel, —and the prophets of Baal, four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the Sacred Stem, four hundred, who do eat at the table of Jezebel.
20 I posla Ahav k svijem sinovima Izrailjevijem, i sabra one proroke na goru Karmilsku.
So Ahab sent among all the sons of Israel, —and gathered the prophets unto 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 Elijah drew near unto all the people, and said—How long are ye limping on the two divided opinions? If, Yahweh, be GOD, follow, him, but, if, Baal, follow, him. But the people answered him, not a word.
22 A Ilija reèe narodu: ja sam sam ostao prorok Gospodnji; a proroka Valovijeh ima èetiri stotine i pedeset.
Then said Elijah unto the people—I, am left, Yahweh’s, only, prophet, —but, the prophets of Baal, are four hundred and fifty men.
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 there be given us, therefore, two bullocks, and let them choose for themselves one bullock, and cut it in pieces, and lay it upon the wood, but, fire, shall they not put, —then, I, will make ready the other bullock, and place upon the wood, but, fire, will I not put.
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.
Then shall ye call on the name of your god, and, I, will call on the name of Yahweh, and it shall be, the God that respondeth by fire, he, is GOD. And all the people responded—Well spoken!
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.
Then said Elijah to the prophets of Baal—Choose for yourselves one bullock, and make ye ready, first, for, ye, are many, —and call ye on the name of your god, but, fire, shall ye not put.
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.
So they took the bullock which was given them, and made ready, and called on the name of Baal—from the morning even until the noon, saying—O Baal! answer us. But them was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped about by the altar which had been 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 came to pass, at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said—Cry with a loud voice, for, a god, he is, either he hath, a meditation, or an occasion to retire, or he hath, a journey, —peradventure, he, sleepeth, and must 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, after their custom, with swords, and with lances, —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 so it was, when noon was passed, that although they prophesied until the offering up of the evening gift, yet was there no voice nor any that answered, nor any that hearkened.
30 Tada reèe Ilija svemu narodu: pristupite k meni. I pristupi k njemu sav narod. Tada on opravi oltar Gospodnji koji bješe razvaljen.
Then said Elijah unto all the people: Draw near unto, me. And all the people drew near unto, him. Then repaired he the broken-down altar of Yahweh; yea Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, —
31 I uze Ilija dvanaest kamena prema broju plemena sinova Jakova, kojemu doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi: Izrailj æe ti biti ime.
unto whom the word of Yahweh came, saying—Israel, shall be thy 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 built, with the stones, an altar, in the name of Yahweh, —and he made a trench, as large as would contain two measures of seed, round about the altar;
33 I namjesti drva, i junca isjeèena na komade metnu na drva.
and he put in order the wood, —and cut in pieces the bullock, and laid upon the wood. Then said he—Fill four pitchers with water, and pour out upon the ascending-sacrifice, and upon 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, —moreover also, the trench, filled he 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 it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the gift, that Elijah the prophet drew near, and said, O Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel! To-day, let it be known—That, thou, art God in Israel, and that, I, am thy servant, —and that, by thy word, have I done all these things.
37 Usliši me, Gospode, usliši me, da bi poznao ovaj narod da si ti Gospode Bog, kad opet obratiš srca njihova.
Answer me, O Yahweh! answer me, That this people may know, that, thou—Yahweh, art GOD, —so shalt, thou thyself, have turned their heart back again.
38 Tada pade oganj Gospodnji i spali žrtvu paljenicu i drva i kamen i prah, i vodu u opkopu popi.
Then fell fire from Yahweh, and consumed the ascending-sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, —even the water that was in the trench, it licked up.
39 A narod kad to vidje sav popada nièice, i rekoše: Gospod je Bog, Gospod je Bog.
And, when all the people saw it, they fell upon their faces, —and said, Yahweh, he, is GOD, Yahweh, 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 Elijah said unto them—Seize ye the prophets of Baal—let not, a man, of them escape. So they seized them. And Elijah took them down unto the ravine of Kishon, and slaughtered them there.
41 I reèe Ilija Ahavu: idi, jedi i pij, jer uji veliki dažd.
Then said Elijah unto Ahab, Go up, eat and drink, —for there is a sound of a downpour 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.
So Ahab went up, to eat and to drink, —but, Elijah, went up to the top of Carmel, and bowed himself to the earth, 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.
Then said he unto his young man—Go up, I pray thee, and look about in the direction of the sea. So he went up, and looked about, and said—There is, nothing whatever. Then said he—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 it came to pass, at the seventh time, that he said, Lo! a little cloud, like a man’s hand coming up from the sea. Then he said—Go up, say unto Ahab—Harness, and get thee down, lest the rain shut thee in.
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, meanwhile, that, the heavens, had enshrouded themselves with clouds and wind, and there came a great rain, and Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel;
46 A ruka Gospodnja doðe nad Iliju, i on opasavši se otrèa pred Ahavom dokle doðe u Jezrael.
but, the hand of Yahweh, came upon Elijah, so he girded his loins, —and ran before Ahab, until thou enterest Jezreel.
