1 A Ahav pripovjedi Jezavelji sve što je uèinio Ilija i kako je sve proroke isjekao maèem.
When Ahab got home, he told [his wife] Jezebel what Elijah had done. He told her that Elijah had killed all the prophets of Baal.
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 this message to Elijah: “By this time tomorrow I will have [killed] you, just like you [killed all those prophets of Baal]. If I do not do that, I hope the gods will kill me.”
3 A on videæi to usta i otide duše svoje radi, i doðe u Virsaveju Judinu, i ondje ostavi momka svojega.
When Elijah received [her message], he was afraid. So [taking his servant with him], he fled in order that he would not be killed. He went [far south] 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.
Then he went by himself further [south] into the desert. He walked all day. He sat down under a broom tree and prayed that [Yahweh] would allow him to die. He said, “Yahweh, I’ve had enough. So allow me to die, because for me to live is no better than [being with] my ancestors [who have died].”
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 slept. But while he was sleeping, an angel touched him and [woke him up and] said to him, “Get up and eat some food!”
6 A on pogleda, i gle, èelo glave mu hljeb na ugljenu peèen i krèag vode. I jede i napi se, pa leže opet.
Elijah looked around and saw some bread which had been baked on hot stones, and he also saw a jar of water. So he ate some bread and drank some water and lay down [to sleep] again.
7 A anðeo Gospodnji doðe opet drugom, i taknu ga govoreæi: ustani, jedi, jer ti je put dalek.
Then the angel [who had been sent by] Yahweh came again and touched him, and said, “Get up and eat some [more] food, because you need [more strength] to go on a long journey.”
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 some more, and because of doing that, he got enough strength to enable him to travel for forty days and nights to Sinai Mountain, the mountain [that was dedicated to] God.
9 A ondje uðe u jednu peæinu i zanoæi u njoj; i gle, rijeè Gospodnja doðe mu govoreæi: šta æeš ti tu, Ilija?
He went into a cave there and slept there that night. [The next morning, ] Yahweh said to him “Elijah, why are you here?”
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.
Elijah replied, “I have zealously served you, Yahweh, God Almighty. But the Israeli people have broken the agreement that they made with you. They have torn down your altars, and they have killed all of your prophets. I am the only one whom they have not killed, and now they are trying to kill me, too. [So I am running away from them].”
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;
Yahweh said to him, “Go out and stand in front of me on this mountain while I pass by.” [Suddenly] a strong windstorm struck the mountain. As a result, rocks were loosened from the mountainside. But Yahweh was not in the wind. Then there was an earthquake, but Yahweh 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.
Then there was a fire, but Yahweh was not in the fire. Then there was a sound like someone whispering quietly.
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 that, he wrapped his cloak around his face. He went out of the cave and stood at its entrance. And he heard Yahweh speaking to him, saying again, “Elijah, why are you here?”
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.
He replied again, “I have zealously served you, Yahweh, God Almighty. But the Israeli people have broken the agreement that they made with you. They have torn down your altars, and they have killed all of your prophets. I am the only one whom they have not killed, and now they are trying to kill me, too. [So I am running away from them].”
15 Tada mu reèe Gospod: idi, vrati se svojim putem u pustinju Damaštansku, i kad doðeš pomaži Azaila za cara nad Sirijom.
Then Yahweh told him, “Go back to the desert near Damascus. When you arrive there, anoint [with olive oil] a man named Hazael, [to appoint him] to be the king of Syria.
16 A Juja sina Nimsijina pomaži za cara nad Izrailjem, a Jelisija sina Safatova iz Avel-Meole pomaži za proroka mjesto sebe.
Then anoint Jehu, the son of Nimshi, to be the king of Israel, and also anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat, from Abel-Meholah [town], to become my prophet after you are dead.
17 Jer ko uteèe od maèa Azailova njega æe pogubiti Juj; a ko uteèe od maèa Jujeva njega æe pogubiti Jelisije.
Hazael’s army [will kill many people, and] those who escape from [being killed by] his army will be killed by Jehu’s [army], and those who escape from [being killed by] Jehu’s army will be killed by Elisha.
18 Ali sam ostavio u Izrailju sedam tisuæa, koji nijedan ne saviše koljena pred Valom, niti ga ustima svojim cjelivaše.
But [you need to know that] there are still 7,000 people in Israel who have never bowed to [worship] Baal or kissed his [idol].”
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 went [to Syria] and found Elisha as he was plowing a field with a team of oxen. There were eleven other men who were in front of him, plowing with teams of oxen in the same field. Elijah went to Elisha, and took off his own coat and put it on Elisha, [to show Elisha that he wanted him to take his place as a prophet. Then he started to walk away].
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?
Elisha left the oxen standing there and ran after Elijah, and said to him, “I will go with you, but first let me kiss my parents goodbye.” Elijah replied, “Okay, go home. But do not forget why I have [given my cloak] 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 went back [to his oxen]. He killed them [and cut them in pieces] and used the wood from the plow to build a fire to roast the meat. He distributed the meat to the other people [in his town], and they all ate some. Then he went with Elijah and became his helper.
