2 Kraljevima 1
1 A po smrti Ahavovoj odmetnuše se Moavci od Izrailja.
Then, after the death of Ahab, Moab transgressed against Israel.
2 A Ohozija pade kroz rešetku iz gornje sobe svoje u Samariji, i razbolje se; pa posla poslanike i reèe im: idite, pitajte Velzevula boga Akaronskoga hoæu li ozdraviti od ove bolesti.
And Ahaziah fell down through the lattices of his upper room, which he had in Samaria, and he was injured. And he sent messengers, saying to them, “Go, consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as to whether I may be able to survive this infirmity of mine.”
3 Ali anðeo Gospodnji reèe Iliji Tesviæaninu: ustani, izidi na susret poslanicima cara Samarijskoga i reci im: eda li nema Boga u Izrailju, te idete da pitate Velzevula boga u Akaronu?
And an Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying: “Rise up, and ascend to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria. And you shall say to them: ‘Is there not a God in Israel, so that you would go to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron?
4 A zato ovako veli Gospod: neæeš se dignuti sa postelje na koju si legao, nego æeš umrijeti. Potom otide Ilija.
For this reason, thus says the Lord: From the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’” And Elijah went away.
5 A sluge se vratiše k Ohoziji, i on im reèe: što ste se vratili?
And the messengers returned to Ahaziah. And he said to them, “Why have you returned?”
6 A oni mu rekoše: srete nas jedan èovjek, i reèe nam: idite, vratite se k caru koji vas je poslao, i recite mu: ovako veli Gospod: eda li nema Boga u Izrailju, te šalješ da pitaš Velzevula boga u Akaronu? Zato neæeš se dignuti s postelje na koju si legao, nego æeš umrijeti.
But they responded to him: “A man met us, and he said to us: ‘Go, and return to the king who sent you. And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord: Is it because there was no God in Israel that you are sending to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’”
7 A on im reèe: kakav bješe na oèi taj èovjek koji vas srete i to vam reèe?
And he said to them: “What was the appearance and dress of that man, who met you and who spoke these words?”
8 A oni mu odgovoriše: bješe sav kosmat i opasan kožnijem pojasom. A on reèe: to je Ilija Tesviæanin.
So they said, “A hairy man, with a belt of leather wrapping his waist.” And he said, “It is Elijah, the Tishbite.”
9 Tada posla k njemu pedesetnika s njegovom pedesetoricom; i on otide k njemu; i gle, on sjeðaše navrh gore; i pedesetnik mu reèe: èovjeèe Božji, car je zapovjedio, siði.
And he sent to him a leader of fifty, with the fifty who were under him. And he ascended to him, sitting at the top of a hill, and he said, “Man of God, the king commanded that you should descend.”
10 A Ilija odgovarajuæi reèe pedesetniku: ako sam èovjek Božji, neka siðe oganj s neba i proždre tebe i tvoju pedesetoricu. I siðe oganj s neba i proždrije njega i njegovu pedesetoricu.
And responding, Elijah said to the leader of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And then fire from heaven descended and devoured him and the fifty who were with him.
11 Opet posla k njemu drugog pedesetnika s njegovom pedesetoricom, koji progovori i reèe mu: èovjeèe Božji, car je tako zapovjedio, siði brže.
And again, he sent to him another leader of fifty, and the fifty with him. And he said to him, “Man of God, thus says the king: Hurry, descend.”
12 A Ilija odgovori i reèe im: ako sam èovjek Božji, neka siðe oganj s neba i proždre tebe i tvoju pedesetoricu. I siðe oganj Božji s neba i proždrije njega i njegovu pedesetoricu.
Responding, Elijah said, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And fire from heaven descended and devoured him and his fifty.
13 Tada opet posla treæega pedesetnika s njegovom pedesetoricom. A ovaj treæi pedesetnik kad doðe, kleèe na koljena svoja pred Ilijom, i moleæi ga reèe mu: èovjeèe Božji, da ti je draga duša moja i duša ove pedesetorice, sluga tvojih.
Again, he sent a third leader of fifty men and the fifty who were with him. And when he had arrived, he bent his knees before Elijah, and he pleaded with him, and said: “Man of God, do not choose to despise my life and the lives of your servants who are with me.
14 Eto, sišao je oganj s neba i proždro prva dva pedesetnika s njihovom pedesetoricom; ali sada da ti je draga duša moja.
Behold, fire from heaven descended and devoured the two previous leaders of fifty and the fifties who were with them. But now I beg you to take pity on my life.”
15 A anðeo Gospodnji reèe Iliji: idi s njim, i ne boj ga se. I usta Ilija i otide s njim k caru.
Then the Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, saying, “Descend with him; fear not.” And so, he arose and descended with him to the king.
16 I reèe mu: ovako veli Gospod: zato što si slao poslanike da pitaju Velzevula boga u Akaronu kao da nema Boga u Izrailju da bi ga pitao, neæeš se dignuti s postelje na koju si legao, nego æeš umrijeti.
And he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Because you sent messengers to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as if there were no God in Israel, from whom you would be able to seek a word, therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.”
17 I umrije po rijeèi Gospodnjoj, koju reèe Ilija, a na njegovo se mjesto zacari Joram druge godine carovanja Jorama sina Josafatova nad Judom, jer on nema sina.
And so he died, in accord with the word of the Lord, which Elijah spoke. And Jehoram, his brother, reigned in his place, in the second year of Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. For he had no son.
18 A ostala djela Ohozijina što je èinio, nijesu li zapisana u dnevniku careva Izrailjevih?
But the rest of the words of Ahaziah that he worked, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
