1 Kraljevima 21
1 A poslije ovijeh stvari dogodi se: Navutej Jezraeljanin imaše vinograd u Jezraelu do dvora Ahava cara Samarijskoga.
And after these things, in that time, there was a vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, who was in Jezreel, beside the palace of Ahab, the king of Samaria.
2 I reèe Ahav Navuteju govoreæi: daj mi svoj vinograd da naèinim od njega vrt za zelje, jer je blizu do dvora mojega; a ja æu ti dati za nj bolji vinograd, ili ako voliš, daæu ti u novcu šta vrijedi.
Therefore, Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying: “Give your vineyard to me, so that I may make for myself a garden of herbs. For it is nearby and is beside my house. And I will give to you, in place of it, a better vineyard. Or if you consider it to be more convenient for you, I will give you the price in silver, whatever it is worth.”
3 A Navutej reèe Ahavu: saèuvaj Bože da bih ti dao našljedstvo otaca svojih.
Naboth responded to him, “May the Lord be gracious to me, lest I give to you the inheritance of my fathers.”
4 Tada Ahav doðe kuæi zlovoljan i ljutit radi rijeèi koju mu reèe Navutej Jezraeljanin govoreæi: ne dam ti našljedstva otaca svojih. I leže na postelju svoju, i okrenu lice svoje na stranu, i ne jede hljeba.
Then Ahab went into his house, angry and gnashing his teeth over the word that Naboth, the Jezreelite, had spoken to him, saying, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” And casting himself on his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and he would not eat bread.
5 Tada doðe k njemu Jezavelja žena njegova i reèe mu: zašto je duša tvoja zlovoljna te ne jedeš hljeba?
Then Jezebel, his wife, entered to him, and she said to him: “What is this matter, by which your soul has been saddened? And why do you not eat bread?”
6 A on joj reèe: jer govorih s Navutejem Jezraeljaninom i rekoh mu: daj mi vinograd svoj za novce, ili ako voliš, daæu ti drugi vinograd za taj. A on reèe: ne dam ti svoga vinograda.
And he responded to her: “I spoke to Naboth, the Jezreelite, and I said to him: ‘Give your vineyard to me, and accept money. Or if it pleases you, I will give to you a better vineyard, in place of it.’ And he said, ‘I will not give my vineyard to you.’”
7 Tada mu reèe Jezavelja žena njegova: ti li si car nad Izrailjem? Ustani, jedi hljeba i budi veseo. Ja æu ti dati vinograd Navuteja Jezraeljanina.
Then Jezebel, his wife, said to him: “You are of great authority, and you rule well in the kingdom of Israel. Rise up and eat bread, and be even-tempered. I will give the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, to you.”
8 I napisa knjigu na ime Ahavovo, i zapeèati je peèatom njegovijem i posla knjigu starješinama i glavarima koji bijahu u gradu njegovu, koji nastavahu s Navutejem.
And so, she wrote letters in the name of Ahab, and she sealed these with his ring. And she sent to those greater by birth, and to the nobles who were in his city and living with Naboth.
9 A u knjizi napisa ovo: oglasite post, i posadite Navuteja meðu glavare narodne.
And this was the judgment of the letters: “Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit among the first rulers of the people.
10 I postavite dva nevaljala èovjeka prema njemu, pa neka zasvjedoèe na nj govoreæi: hulio si na Boga i na cara. Tada ga izvedite i zaspite kamenjem, da pogine.
And send out two men, sons of Belial, against him. And let them speak the false testimony: ‘He has blasphemed God and king.’ And then lead him away, and stone him, and so let him die.”
11 I uèiniše ljudi onoga grada, starješine i glavari, koji življahu u gradu njegovu, kako im zapovjedi Jezavelja, kako bijaše napisano u knjizi koju im posla.
Then his fellow citizens, those greater by birth and the nobles who were living with him in the city, did just as Jezebel had instructed them, and just as it was written in the letters that she had sent to them.
12 I oglasiše post, i posadiše Navuteja meðu glavare narodne.
They proclaimed a fast, and they caused Naboth to sit among the first rulers of the people.
13 I doðoše dva nevaljala èovjeka, i sjedoše prema njemu; i svjedoèiše na Navuteja ti nevaljali ljudi pred narodom govoreæi: Navutej je hulio na Boga i na cara. I izvedoše ga iza grada, i zasuše ga kamenjem, te pogibe.
And bringing forward two men, sons of the devil, they caused them to sit opposite him. And they, acting indeed like diabolical men, spoke testimony against him before the multitude: “Naboth has blasphemed God and king.” For this reason, they led him away, beyond the city, and they put him to death by stoning.
14 Potom poslaše k Jezavelji i poruèiše joj: zasut je kamenjem Navutej, i poginuo je.
And they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and he has died.”
15 A kad Jezavelja èu da je Navutej zasut kamenjem i poginuo, reèe Ahavu Jezavelja: ustani, uzmi vinograd Navuteja Jezraeljanina, kojega ti ne htje dati za novce, jer Navutej nije živ nego je umro.
Then it happened that, when Jezebel had heard that Naboth was stoned and was dead, she said to Ahab: “Rise up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, who was not willing to acquiesce to you, and to give it to you in exchange for money. For Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
16 A kad èu Ahav da je umro Navutej, usta i poðe u vinograd Navuteja Jezraeljanina da ga uzme.
And when Ahab had heard this, namely, that Naboth was dead, he rose up and descended to the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, so that he might take possession of it.
17 Ali doðe rijeè Gospodnja k Iliji Tesviæaninu govoreæi:
Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying:
18 Ustani, izidi na susret Ahavu caru Izrailjevu, koji sjedi u Samariji; eno ga u vinogradu Navutejevu, kuda je otišao da ga uzme.
“Rise up, and descend to meet Ahab, the king of Israel, who is in Samaria. Behold, he is descending to the vineyard of Naboth, so that he may take possession of it.
19 I reci mu i kaži: ovako veli Gospod: nijesi li ubio i nijesi li prisvojio? Pa mu kaži i reci: ovako veli Gospod: kako psi lizaše krv Navutejevu, tako æe lizati psi i tvoju krv.
And you shall speak to him, saying: ‘Thus says the Lord: You have killed. Moreover you have also taken possession.’ And after this, you shall add: ‘Thus says the Lord: In this place, where the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, they shall also lick your blood.’”
20 A Ahav reèe Iliji: naðe li me, neprijatelju moj? A on reèe: naðoh, jer si se prodao da èiniš što je zlo pred Gospodom.
And Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you discovered me to be your enemy?” And he said: “I have discovered you to have been sold, so that you would do evil in the sight of the Lord:
21 Evo, pustiæu zlo na te, i uzeæu natražje tvoje, i istrijebiæu Ahavu i ono što uza zid mokri, i uhvaæenoga i ostavljenoga u Izrailju.
‘Behold, I will lead evil over you. And I will cut down your posterity. And I will put to death of Ahab whatever urinates against a wall, and whatever is lame, and whatever is last in Israel.
22 I uèiniæu s domom tvojim kao s domom Jerovoama sina Navatova i kao s domom Vase sina Ahijina, što si me gnjevio i što si naveo na grijeh Izrailja.
And I will cause your house to be like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha, the son of Ahijah. For you have acted so that you provoked me to anger, and so that you caused Israel to sin.’
23 Takoðe i za Jezavelju reèe Gospod govoreæi: psi æe izjesti Jezavelju ispod zidova Jezraelskih.
And about Jezebel also, the Lord spoke, saying: ‘The dogs shall consume Jezebel in the field of Jezreel.
24 Ko Ahavov pogine u gradu izješæe ga psi, a ko pogine u polju izješæe ga ptice nebeske.
If Ahab will have died in the city, the dogs will consume him. But if he will have died in the field, the birds of the air will consume him.’”
25 I ne bi takoga kao Ahav, koji se prodade da èini što je zlo pred Gospodom, jer ga podgovaraše žena njegova Jezavelja.
And so, there was no other person similar to Ahab, who was sold so that he did evil in the sight of the Lord. For his wife, Jezebel, urged him on.
26 I poèini vrlo grdna djela iduæi za gadnim bogovima sasvijem kao što èiniše Amoreji, koje izagna Gospod ispred sinova Izrailjevijeh.
And he became abominable, so much so that he followed the idols that the Amorites had made, whom the Lord consumed before the face of the sons of Israel.
27 A kad Ahav èu te rijeèi, razdrije haljine svoje, i priveza kostrijet oko tijela svojega, i pošæaše, i spavaše u kostrijeti, i hoðaše polagano.
Then, when Ahab had heard these words, he tore his garments, and he put haircloth on his body, and he fasted, and he slept in sackcloth, and he walked with his head downcast.
28 I doðe rijeè Gospodnja Iliji Tesviæaninu govoreæi:
And the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying:
29 Jesi li vidio kako se Ahav ponizio preda mnom? Zato što se tako ponizio preda mnom, neæu pustiti onoga zla za njegova života; nego za sina njegova pustiæu ono zlo na dom njegov.
“Have you not seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Therefore, since he has humbled himself because of me, I will not lead in the evil during his days. Instead, during the days of his son, I will bring in the evil to his house.”
