1 Kraljevima 21

1 A poslije ovijeh stvari dogodi se: Navutej Jezraeljanin imaše vinograd u Jezraelu do dvora Ahava cara Samarijskoga.

And it came to pass, after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had, a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, —hard by the palace of Ahab, 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.

Ahab, therefore, spake unto Naboth, saying—Come! give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, for, the same, is near by my house, and let me give thee, instead thereof, a vineyard better than it, —if it be good in thine eyes, I will give thee silver to the value of this.

3 A Navutej reèe Ahavu: saèuvaj Bože da bih ti dao našljedstvo otaca svojih.

And Naboth said unto Ahab, —Far be it from me, of Yahweh! that I should give up the inheritance of my fathers, unto thee!

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.

So Ahab came into his house, sullen and disturbed, because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken unto him, that he should have said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. So he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and did eat no food.

5 Tada doðe k njemu Jezavelja žena njegova i reèe mu: zašto je duša tvoja zlovoljna te ne jedeš hljeba?

Then came unto him Jezebel his wife, —and said unto him—Why is it, that thy spirit is sullen, that thou art, not eating food?

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 said unto her—Because I spake unto Naboth, the Jezreelite, and said unto him—Come! give me thy vineyard for silver, or, if thou wouldst prefer, I will give thee a vineyard, in its stead; and he said—I will not give thee my vineyard.

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 unto him: Art, thou, still, going to carry on the kingdom over Israel? Rise! eat food, and let thy heart be merry, I, will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite!

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.

So she wrote letters, in the name of Ahab, and sealed them with his signet-ring, —and sent the letters unto the elders, and unto the nobles who were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.

9 A u knjizi napisa ovo: oglasite post, i posadite Navuteja meðu glavare narodne.

Now she wrote in the letters, saying, —Proclaim ye a fast, and cause Naboth to sit at the head 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.

then let two reckless men take their seats before him, that they may bear witness against him, saying, Thou hast reviled God and king! then shall ye carry him forth and stone him, that he 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.

So the men of his city, the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did just as Jezebel had sent unto them, —as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them:

12 I oglasiše post, i posadiše Navuteja meðu glavare narodne.

they proclaimed a fast, —and caused Naboth to sit at the head 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.

Then came in the two reckless men, and sat before him, and the men bare witness against him, even against Naboth, before the people, saying, Naboth hath reviled God and king! So they carried him forth, outside the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.

14 Potom poslaše k Jezavelji i poruèiše joj: zasut je kamenjem Navutej, i poginuo je.

Then sent they unto Jezebel, saying, —Naboth is stoned and is dead.

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.

And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned and was dead, that Jezebel said unto Ahab—Rise! take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for silver, 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 it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab arose, to go down unto the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession thereof.

17 Ali doðe rijeè Gospodnja k Iliji Tesviæaninu govoreæi:

Then came the word of Yahweh unto 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.

Arise! go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria, —lo! he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he hath gone down, to take possession thereof.

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.

Then shalt thou speak unto him, saying—Thus, saith Yahweh, Hast thou committed murder, and also taken possession? Then shalt thou speak unto him, saying: Thus, saith Yahweh, In the place where the dogs have lapped up the blood of Naboth, shall the dogs lap up thy blood, even thine.

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.

Then said Ahab unto Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he said: I have found [thee]! Because thou hast sold thyself to do the thing that is wicked in the eyes of Yahweh,

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 me! [saith he] bringing in upon thee, calamity, and I will consume after thee, —and cut off of Ahab, even the meanest, whether shut up or left at large 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 will deliver up thy house—Like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, —for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked, and caused, Israel, to sin.

23 Takoðe i za Jezavelju reèe Gospod govoreæi: psi æe izjesti Jezavelju ispod zidova Jezraelskih.

Moreover also, concerning Jezebel, hath Yahweh spoken, saying, —The dogs, shall eat Jezebel, in the town-land of Jezreel:

24 Ko Ahavov pogine u gradu izješæe ga psi, a ko pogine u polju izješæe ga ptice nebeske.

Him that dieth, of Ahab, in the city, shall, the dogs, eat, —and, him that dieth in the field, shall, the birds of heaven, eat.

25 I ne bi takoga kao Ahav, koji se prodade da èini što je zlo pred Gospodom, jer ga podgovaraše žena njegova Jezavelja.

But indeed, there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —whom Jezebel his wife goaded on;

26 I poèini vrlo grdna djela iduæi za gadnim bogovima sasvijem kao što èiniše Amoreji, koje izagna Gospod ispred sinova Izrailjevijeh.

so that he did very abominably, in going after the manufactured gods, —according to all which the Amorites had done, whom Yahweh dispossessed from before 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.

And it came to pass, when Ahab heard these words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, —and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

28 I doðe rijeè Gospodnja Iliji Tesviæaninu govoreæi:

Then came the word of Yahweh unto 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.

Hast thou seen that Ahab hath humbled himself, before me? Because he hath humbled himself before me, I will not bring in the calamity in his days, In the days of his son, will I bring in the calamity upon his house.
