2 Kraljevima 10

1 A Ahav imaše sedamdeset sinova u Samariji; i Juj napisa knjigu i posla je u Samariju ka glavarima Jezraelskim, starješinama i hraniteljima Ahavovijem, i reèe:

Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. So Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria to the officials of Jezreel, to the elders, and to the guardians of the sons of Ahab, saying:

2 Kako ova knjiga doðe k vama, u kojih su sinovi gospodara vašega i kola i konji i grad tvrdi i oružje,

“When this letter arrives, since your master’s sons are with you and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city and weaponry,

3 Gledajte koji je najbolji i najvještiji izmeðu sinova gospodara vašega, te ga posadite na prijesto oca njegova, i bijte se za dom gospodara svoga.

select the best and most worthy son of your master, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.”

4 Ali se oni vrlo uplašiše i rekoše: eto, dva cara ne odolješe mu, a kako æemo mu mi odoljeti?

But they were terrified and reasoned, “If two kings could not stand against him, how can we?”

5 I koji bijaše nad domom, i koji bijaše nad gradom, i starješine i hranitelji poslaše k Juju govoreæi: mi smo sluge tvoje, èiniæemo sve što nam kažeš; neæemo nikoga postavljati carem; èini što ti je volja.

So the palace administrator, the overseer of the city, the elders, and the guardians sent a message to Jehu: “We are your servants, and we will do whatever you say. We will not make anyone king. Do whatever is good in your sight.”

6 I on im napisa drugu knjigu govoreæi: ako ste moji i slušate mene, uzmite glave svijeh sinova gospodara svojega i doðite k meni sjutra u ovo doba u Jezrael. A sinovi carevi, sedamdeset ljudi, bijahu kod najznatnijih graðana, koji ih hranjahu.

Then Jehu wrote them a second letter and said: “If you are on my side, and if you will obey me, then bring the heads of your master’s sons to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow.” Now the sons of the king, seventy in all, were being brought up by the leading men of the city.

7 I kad im doðe ova knjiga, uzeše sinove careve i poklaše, sedamdeset ljudi, i metnuvši glave njihove u kotarice poslaše mu u Jezrael.

And when the letter arrived, they took the sons of the king and slaughtered all seventy of them. They put their heads in baskets and sent them to Jehu at Jezreel.

8 I doðe glasnik, koji mu javi govoreæi: donesoše glave sinova carevijeh. A on reèe: složite ih u dvije gomile na vratima, neka stoje do sjutra.

When the messenger arrived, he told Jehu, “They have brought the heads of the sons of the king.” And Jehu ordered, “Pile them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until morning.”

9 A ujutru izašav stade i reèe svemu narodu: vi nijeste krivi; eto, ja se podigoh na gospodara svojega i ubih ga; ali ko pobi sve ove?

The next morning, Jehu went out and stood before all the people and said, “You are innocent. It was I who conspired against my master and killed him. But who killed all these?

10 Vidite sada da nije izostala nijedna rijeè Gospodnja koju reèe Gospod za dom Ahavov, nego je Gospod uèinio što je govorio preko sluge svojega Ilije.

Know, then, that not a word the LORD has spoken against the house of Ahab will fail, for the LORD has done what He promised through His servant Elijah.”

11 Potom pobi Juj sve koji bijahu ostali od doma Ahavova u Jezraelu i sve vlastelje njegove i prijatelje njegove i sveštenike njegove, da ne osta nijedan.

So Jehu killed everyone in Jezreel who remained of the house of Ahab, as well as all his great men and close friends and priests, leaving him without a single survivor.

12 Potom se podiže i poðe da ide u Samariju; i kad bijaše kod kolibe pastirske na putu,

Then Jehu set out toward Samaria. At Beth-eked of the Shepherds,

13 Naðe Juj braæu Ohozije cara Judina, i reèe: ko ste? Oni rekoše: mi smo braæa Ohozijina i idemo da pozdravimo sinove careve i sinove carièine.

Jehu met some relatives of Ahaziah king of Judah and asked, “Who are you?” “We are relatives of Ahaziah,” they answered, “and we have come down to greet the sons of the king and of the queen mother.”

14 Tada reèe: pohvatajte ih žive. I pohvataše ih žive i poklaše ih na studencu kod kolibe pastirske, njih èetrdeset, i ne ostavi nijednoga od njih.

Then Jehu ordered, “Take them alive.” So his men took them alive, then slaughtered them at the well of Beth-eked—forty-two men. He spared none of them.

15 Potom otišav odande naðe Jonadava sina Rihavova, koji ga srete. A on ga pozdravi i reèe mu: je li srce tvoje pravo kao što je moje srce prema tvome? A Jonadav odgovori: jest. Ako jest, odgovori Juj, daj mi ruku. I dade mu ruku; a on ga uze k sebi u kola.

When he left there, he found Jehonadab son of Rechab, who was coming to meet him. Jehu greeted him and asked, “Is your heart as true to mine as my heart is to yours?” “It is!” Jehonadab replied. “If it is,” said Jehu, “give me your hand.” So he gave him his hand, and Jehu helped him into his chariot,

16 I reèe: hajde sa mnom, i vidi moju revnost za Gospoda. I odvezoše ga na njegovijem kolima.

saying, “Come with me and see my zeal for the LORD!” So he had him ride in his chariot.

17 I kad doðe u Samariju, pobi sve što bješe ostalo od doma Ahavova u Samariji dokle ga ne istrijebi po rijeèi koju Gospod reèe Iliji.

When Jehu came to Samaria, he struck down everyone belonging to Ahab who remained there, until he had destroyed them, according to the word that the LORD had spoken to Elijah.

18 Potom sabra Juj sav narod i reèe mu: Ahav je malo služio Valu, Juj æe mu služiti više.

Then Jehu brought all the people together and said, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him a lot.

19 Zato dozovite mi sve proroke Valove, sve sluge njegove i sve sveštenike njegove, nijedan da ne izostane, jer veliku žrtvu hoæu da prinesem Valu; ko ne doðe, poginuæe. A Juj èinjaše tako iz prijevare hoteæi pobiti sluge Valove.

Now, therefore, summon to me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests. See that no one is missing, for I have a great sacrifice for Baal. Whoever is missing will not live.” But Jehu was acting deceptively in order to destroy the servants of Baal.

20 I reèe Juj: svetkujte svetkovinu Valu. I oglasiše je.

And Jehu commanded, “Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal.” So they announced it.

21 I posla Juj po svemu Izrailju, te doðoše sve sluge Valove, i ne izosta nijedan da ne doðe; i uðoše u kuæu Valovu, i napuni se kuæa Valova od kraja do kraja.

Then Jehu sent word throughout Israel, and all the servants of Baal came; there was not a man who failed to show. They entered the temple of Baal, and it was filled from end to end.

22 Tada reèe onomu koji bijaše nad riznicom: iznesi haljine svijem slugama Valovijem. I iznese im haljine.

And Jehu said to the keeper of the wardrobe, “Bring out garments for all the servants of Baal.” So he brought out garments for them.

23 Zatijem uðe Juj s Jonadavom sinom Rihavovijem u kuæu Valovu, i reèe slugama Valovijem: promotrite i vidite da nije tu s vama koji sluga Gospodnji, nego same sluge Valove.

Next, Jehu and Jehonadab son of Rechab entered the temple of Baal, and Jehu said to the servants of Baal, “Look around to see that there are no servants of the LORD here among you—only servants of Baal.”

24 I tako uðoše da prinesu prinose i žrtve paljenice, a Juj namjesti napolju osamdeset ljudi, i reèe: ako uteèe koji od ovijeh ljudi koje vam dajem u ruke, duša æe vaša biti za dušu njegovu.

And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had stationed eighty men outside and warned them, “If anyone allows one of the men I am delivering into your hands to escape, he will forfeit his life for theirs.”

25 A kad se svrši žrtva paljenica, zapovjedi Juj vojnicima i vojvodama: uðite, pobijte ih, da ne izaðe nijedan. I tako ih pobiše oštrijem maèem i pobacaše ih vojnici i vojvode; potom otidoše u svaki grad gdje bješe kuæa Valova.

When he had finished making the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guards and officers, “Go in and kill them. Do not let anyone out.” So the guards and officers put them to the sword, threw the bodies out, and went into the inner room of the temple of Baal.

26 I izbaciše likove iz kuæe Valove, i spališe ih.

They brought out the sacred pillar of the temple of Baal and burned it.

27 I izlomiše lik Valov i raskopaše kuæu Valovu, i od nje naèiniše prohode do današnjega dana.

They also demolished the sacred pillar of Baal. Then they tore down the temple of Baal and made it into a latrine, which it is to this day.

28 Tako Juj istrijebi Vala iz Izrailja.

Thus Jehu eradicated Baal from Israel,

29 Ali ne otstupi Juj od grijehova Jerovoama sina Navatova, kojima navede na grijeh Izrailja, od zlatnijeh telaca, koji bijahu u Vetilju i u Danu.

but he did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit—the worship of the golden calves at Bethel and Dan.

30 A Gospod reèe Juju: što si dobro svršio što je pravo preda mnom, i što si uèinio domu Ahavovu sve što mi je bilo u srcu, zato æe sinovi tvoji sjedjeti na prijestolu Izrailjevu do èetvrtoga koljena.

Nevertheless, the LORD said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in carrying out what is right in My sight and have done to the house of Ahab all that was in My heart, four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel.”

31 Ali Juj ne pažaše da hodi po zakonu Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva svijem srcem svojim, ne otstupi od grijehova Jerovoamovijeh, kojima navede na grijeh Izrailja.

Yet Jehu was not careful to follow the instruction of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.

32 U to vrijeme poèe Gospod krnjiti Izrailja, jer ih pobi Azailo po svijem meðama Izrailjevim.

In those days the LORD began to reduce the size of Israel. Hazael defeated the Israelites throughout their territory

33 Od Jordana k istoku sunèanom, svu zemlju Galadsku, Gadovu i Ruvimovu i Manasijinu, od Aroira na potoku Arnonu, i Galad i Vasan.

from the Jordan eastward through all the land of Gilead (the region of Gad, Reuben, and Manasseh), and from Aroer by the Arnon Valley through Gilead to Bashan.

34 A ostala djela Jujeva i sve što je èinio, i sva junaštva njegova, nijesu li zapisana u dnevniku careva Izrailjevijeh?

As for the rest of the acts of Jehu, along with all his accomplishments and all his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

35 I poèinu Juj kod otaca svojih, i pogreboše ga u Samariji; a na njegovo se mjesto zacari Joahaz sin njegov.

And Jehu rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria, and his son Jehoahaz reigned in his place.

36 A carova Juj nad Izrailjem u Samariji dvadeset i osam godina.

So the duration of Jehu’s reign over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
