1 Kraljevima 19
1 A Ahav pripovjedi Jezavelji sve što je uèinio Ilija i kako je sve proroke isjekao maèem.
Now Ahab told Jezebel everything that Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
2 Tada Jezavelja posla glasnike k Iliji i poruèi mu: tako da uèine bogovi i tako da dodadu, ako sjutra u ovo doba ne uèinim od tebe što je od kojega god tijeh.
So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “May the gods deal with me, and ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like the lives of those you killed!”
3 A on videæi to usta i otide duše svoje radi, i doðe u Virsaveju Judinu, i ondje ostavi momka svojega.
And Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there,
4 A sam otide u pustinju dan hoda; i došav sjede pod smreku, i zaželje da umre, i reèe: dosta je veæ, Gospode, primi dušu moju, jer nijesam bolji od otaca svojih.
while he himself traveled on a day’s journey into the wilderness. He sat down under a broom tree and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, LORD,” he said. “Take my life, for I am no better than my fathers.”
5 Potom leže i zaspa pod smrekom. A gle, anðeo taknu ga i reèe mu: ustani, jedi.
Then he lay down under the broom tree and fell asleep. Suddenly an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”
6 A on pogleda, i gle, èelo glave mu hljeb na ugljenu peèen i krèag vode. I jede i napi se, pa leže opet.
And he looked around, and there by his head was a cake of bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank and lay down again.
7 A anðeo Gospodnji doðe opet drugom, i taknu ga govoreæi: ustani, jedi, jer ti je put dalek.
A second time the angel of the LORD returned and touched him, saying, “Get up and eat, or the journey will be too much for you.”
8 A on ustavši jede i napi se; potom okrijepiv se onijem jelom ide èetrdeset dana i èetrdeset noæi dokle doðe na goru Božiju Horiv.
So he got up and ate and drank. And strengthened by that food, he walked forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God.
9 A ondje uðe u jednu peæinu i zanoæi u njoj; i gle, rijeè Gospodnja doðe mu govoreæi: šta æeš ti tu, Ilija?
There Elijah entered a cave and spent the night. And the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
10 A on reèe: revnovah veoma za Gospoda Boga nad vojskama; jer sinovi Izrailjevi ostaviše zavjet tvoj, tvoje oltare razvališe, i proroke tvoje pobiše maèem; a ja ostah sam, pa traže dušu moju da mi je uzmu.
“I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of Hosts,” he replied, “but the Israelites have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well.”
11 A on reèe: izidi i stani na gori pred Gospodom. I gle, Gospod prolažaše, a pred Gospodom velik i jak vjetar, koji brda razvaljivaše i stijene razlamaše; ali Gospod ne bješe u vjetru; a iza vjetra doðe trus; ali Gospod ne bješe u trusu;
Then the LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD. Behold, the LORD is about to pass by.” And a great and mighty wind tore into the mountains and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
12 A iza trusa doðe oganj; ali Gospod ne bješe u ognju. A iza ognja doðe glas tih i tanak.
After the earthquake there was a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a still, small voice.
13 A kad to èu Ilija, zakloni lice svoje plaštem i izašav stade na vratima od peæine. I gle, doðe mu glas govoreæi: šta æeš ti tu, Ilija?
When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
14 A on reèe: revnovah veoma za Gospoda Boga nad vojskama; jer sinovi Izrailjevi ostaviše zavjet tvoj, tvoje oltare razvališe, i proroke tvoje pobiše maèem; a ja ostah sam, pa traže moju dušu da mi je uzmu.
“I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of Hosts,” he replied, “but the Israelites have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well.”
15 Tada mu reèe Gospod: idi, vrati se svojim putem u pustinju Damaštansku, i kad doðeš pomaži Azaila za cara nad Sirijom.
Then the LORD said to him, “Go back by the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you arrive, you are to anoint Hazael as king over Aram.
16 A Juja sina Nimsijina pomaži za cara nad Izrailjem, a Jelisija sina Safatova iz Avel-Meole pomaži za proroka mjesto sebe.
You are also to anoint Jehu son of Nimshi as king over Israel and Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel-meholah to succeed you as prophet.
17 Jer ko uteèe od maèa Azailova njega æe pogubiti Juj; a ko uteèe od maèa Jujeva njega æe pogubiti Jelisije.
Then Jehu will put to death whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death whoever escapes the sword of Jehu.
18 Ali sam ostavio u Izrailju sedam tisuæa, koji nijedan ne saviše koljena pred Valom, niti ga ustima svojim cjelivaše.
Nevertheless, I have reserved seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him.”
19 I otide odande, i naðe Jelisija sina Safatova gdje ore, a dvanaest jarmova pred njim, i sam bijaše kod dvanaestoga; i iduæi mimo nj Ilija baci na nj plašt svoj.
So Elijah departed and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve teams of oxen, and he was with the twelfth team. Elijah passed by him and threw his cloak around him.
20 A on ostavi volove, i otrèa za Ilijom i reèe: da cjelujem oca svojega i mater svoju; pa æu iæi za tobom. A on mu reèe: idi, vrati se, jer šta sam ti uèinio?
So Elisha left the oxen, ran after Elijah, and said, “Please let me kiss my father and mother goodbye, and then I will follow you.” “Go on back,” Elijah replied, “for what have I done to you?”
21 I on se vrati od njega, i uze jaram volova i zakla ih, i na drvima od pluga skuha meso i dade ga narodu, te jedoše; potom ustavši otide za Ilijom i služaše mu.
So Elisha turned back from him, took his pair of oxen, and slaughtered them. With the oxen’s equipment, he cooked the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow and serve Elijah.
