2 Dnevnika 18

1 I Josafat imajuæi veliko blago i slavu oprijatelji se s Ahavom.

And it came to pass, when Jehoshaphat had riches and honour, in abundance, that he contracted, by marriage, affinity with Ahab.

2 I poslije nekoliko godina otide k Ahavu u Samariju; i nakla mu Ahav mnogo ovaca i volova i narodu koji bijaše s njim, i nagovaraše ga da poðe na Ramot Galadski.

So he went down, at the end of some years, unto Ahab, to Samaria, Ahab therefore sacrificed for him, sheep and oxen, in abundance, also for the people whom he had with him, -and then persuaded him to go up against Ramoth-gilead.

3 I reèe Ahav car Izrailjev Josafatu caru Judinu: hoæeš li iæi sa mnom na Ramot Galadski? A on reèe: ja kao ti, narod moj kao tvoj narod; hoæemo s tobom na vojsku.

For Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go up with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he said unto him—So am I, even as thou, and, like thy people, are my people, and, with thee, in the war.

4 Još reèe Josafat caru Izrailjevu: pitaj danas šta æe Gospod reæi.

Then said Jehoshaphat, unto the king of Israel, —Seek, I pray thee, some time to-day, the word of Yahweh.

5 Tada sazva car Izrailjev proroke svoje, èetiri stotine ljudi, i reèe im: hoæemo li iæi na vojsku na Ramot Galadski, ili æu se okaniti? A oni rekoše: idi, jer æe ga Gospod dati u ruke caru.

So the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go up against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said—Go up, and may God deliver it into the hand of the king!

6 A Josafat reèe: ima li tu još koji prorok Gospodnji da ga pitamo?

Then said Jehoshaphat, Is there not here a prophet of Yahweh, besides, —that we may seek, from him?

7 A car reèe Josafatu: ima još jedan èovjek preko kojega bismo mogli upitati Gospoda; ali ja mrzim na nj, jer mi ne prorièe dobra nego svagda zlo; to je Miheja sin Jemlin. A Josafat reèe: neka car ne govori tako.

Then said the king of Israel unto Jehoshaphat—There is yet one man, by whom to seek Yahweh, but, I, hate him, for he is never prophesying, concerning me, anything good—but—all his days—evil, the same, is Micaiah, son of Imla. Then said Jehoshaphat, Let not the king say, so!

8 Tada car Izrailjev dozva jednoga dvoranina, i reèe mu: brže dovedi Miheju sina Jemlina.

And the king of Israel called for a certain officer, —and said, Haste, Micaiah son of Imla!

9 A car Izrailjev i Josafat car Judin sjeðahu svaki na svom prijestolu obuèeni u carske haljine, sjeðahu na poljani kod vrata Samarijskih, i svi proroci prorokovahu pred njima.

Now, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, were sitting, each upon his throne, clothed in robes, and they were sitting in an open space, at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, —and, all the prophets, were prophesying before them.

10 I Sedekija sin Hananin naèini sebi gvozdene rogove, i reèe: ovako veli Gospod: ovijem æeš biti Sirce dokle ih ne istrijebiš.

Then did Zedekiah son of Chenaanah make him horns of iron, —and said—Thus, saith Yahweh, With these, shalt thou push Syria, until they are consumed.

11 Tako i svi proroci prorokovahu govoreæi: idi na Ramot Galadski, i biæeš sreæan, jer æe ga Gospod predati caru u ruke.

And, all the prophets, were prophesying, so, saying, -Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper, and Yahweh will deliver [it] into the hand of the king.

12 A poslanik koji otide da dozove Miheju reèe mu govoreæi: evo proroci prorièu svi jednijem glasom dobro caru; neka i tvoja rijeè bude kao njihova, i govori dobro.

And, the messenger who went to call Micaiah, spake unto him, saying, Lo! the words of the prophets, with one mouth, are good for the king, —be thy word then, I pray thee, like one of theirs, so wilt thou speak good.

13 A Miheja reèe: tako da je živ Gospod, govoriæu ono što reèe Bog moj.

Then said Micaiah, —By the life of Yahweh, whatsoever my God shall say, that, must I speak.

14 I kad doðe k caru, reèe mu car: Miheja! hoæemo li iæi na vojsku na Ramot Galadski, ili æu se okaniti? A on reèe: idite, biæete sreæni, i daæe vam se u ruke.

Now, when he came unto the king, the king said unto him, Micah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up and prosper, and may they be delivered into your hand.

15 A car mu reèe: koliko æu te puta zaklinjati da mi ne govoriš nego istinu u ime Gospodnje?

Then the king said unto him, How many times, must, I, be putting thee on oath, —that thou speak unto me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?

16 Tada reèe: vidio sam sav narod Izrailjev razasut po planinama kao ovce koje nemaju pastira, jer reèe Gospod: ovi nemaju gospodara, neka se vrate svak svojoj kuæi s mirom.

So he said, I saw all Israel, scattered upon the mountains, like sheep that have no shepherd, -and Yahweh said, No masters, have these! let them return every man unto his own house, in peace.

17 Tada reèe car Izrailjev Josafatu: nijesam li ti rekao da mi neæe prorokovati dobra nego zlo?

Then said the king of Israel, unto Jehoshaphat, —Said I not unto thee, He wilt not prophesy concerning me anything good, but evil?

18 A Miheja reèe: zato èujte rijeè Gospodnju: vidjeh Gospoda gdje sjedi na prijestolu svom, a sva vojska nebeska stajaše mu s desne i s lijeve strane;

Then said he, Therefore, hear ye the word of Yahweh, —I saw Yahweh, sitting upon his throne, and, all the host of the heavens, standing, on his right hand and his left.

19 I Gospod reèe: ko æe prevariti Ahava cara Izrailjeva da otide i padne kod Ramota Galadskoga? Još reèe: jedan reèe ovo a drugi ono.

Then said Yahweh, Who will persuade Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall in Ramoth-gilead? And one spake, saying after this manner, and another, saying after that manner.

20 Tada izide jedan duh, i stavši pred Gospoda reèe: ja æu ga prevariti. A Gospod mu reèe: kako?

Then came there forth a spirit and stood before Yahweh, and said, I, will persuade him. And Yahweh said unto him, Wherewith?

21 Odgovori: iziæi æu, i biæu lažljiv duh u ustima svijeh proroka njegovijeh. A Gospod mu reèe: prevariæeš ga i nadvladaæeš, idi i uèini tako.

And he said, I will go forth and become a spirit of falsehood, in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said—Thou mayest persuade, moreover also, thou shalt prevail, go forth, and do, so.

22 Zato sada eto, Gospod je metnuo lažljiv duh u usta tijem prorocima tvojim; a Gospod je izrekao zlo po te.

Now, therefore, lo! Yahweh hath suffered a spirit of falsehood to be put into the mouth of these thy prophets, —but, Yahweh, hath spoken concerning thee—evil.

23 Tada pristupi Sedekija sin Hananin, i udari Miheju po obrazu govoreæi: kojim je putem otišao duh Gospodnji od mene da govori s tobom?

Then drew near Zedekiah son of Chenaanah, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, —and said, Which then is the way the spirit of Yahweh passed from me, to speak with thee?

24 A Miheja mu reèe: eto, vidjeæeš u onaj dan kad otideš u najtajniju klijet da se sakriješ.

Then said Micaiah, Lo! thou shalt see, on that day when thou shalt enter into a chamber within a chamber, to hide thyself.

25 Tada car Izrailjev reèe: uhvatite Miheju, i odvedite ga k Amonu zapovjedniku gradskom i k Joasu sinu carevu.

Then said the king of Israel, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon ruler of the city, and unto Joash son of the king;

26 I recite im: ovako veli car: metnite ovoga u tamnicu, a dajite mu po malo hljeba i po malo vode dokle se ne vratim u miru.

and ye shall say, Thus, saith the king, Put ye this one into the prison, —and feed him with the bread of oppression, and with the water of oppression, until I return in peace.

27 A Miheja reèe: ako se vratiš u miru, nije Gospod govorio preko mene. Još reèe: èujte svi narodi.

Then said Micaiah, If thou do, at all return, in peace, Yahweh hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hear! ye peoples, all!

28 I otide car Izrailjev s Josafatom carem Judinijem na Ramot Galadski.

Then went up the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, against Ramothgilead.

29 I reèe car Izrailjev Josafatu: ja æu se preobuæi kad poðem u boj, a ti obuci svoje odijelo. I preobuèe se car Izrailjev, i otidoše u boj.

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, [I am about] to disguise myself, and enter into the battle, but, thou, put on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into the battle.

30 A car Sirski zapovjedi vojvodama od kola svojih govoreæi: ne udarajte ni na maloga ni na velikoga nego na samoga cara Izrailjeva.

Now, the king of Syria, had commanded the captains of chariots which he had, saying, Ye shall not fight, with small [or] with great, —save with the king of Israel, alone.

31 A kad vojvode od kola vidješe Josafata, rekoše: to je car Izrailjev. I okrenuše se na nj da udare. Ali Josafat povika, i Gospod mu pomože, i odvrati ih Bog od njega.

So it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw Jehoshaphat, that, they, said, The king of Israel, it is. And they compassed him about, to fight, —but Jehoshaphat made outcry, and, Yahweh, helped him, yea God allured them away from him.

32 Jer vidjevši vojvode od kola da nije car Izrailjev, otstupiše od njega.

And so it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him;

33 A jedan zastrijeli iz luka nagonom i ustrijeli cara Izrailjeva gdje spuèa oklop. A on reèe svojemu vozaèu: savij rukom svojom i izvezi me iz boja, jer sam ranjen.

but, a certain man, drawing a bow in his innocence, smote the king of Israel between the shoulder-joints and the coat of mail, —wherefore he said to the charioteer, Turn thy hand, and convey me out of the host, for I am sore wounded.

34 I boj bi žestok onoga dana, a car Izrailjev zaosta na kolima svojim prema Sircima do veèera, i umrije o sunèanom zahodu.

But the battle increased on that day, and, the king of Israel, was propping himself up in the chariot before the Syrians, until evening, -and died at the time of the going in of the sun.
