2 Kraljevima 1
1 A po smrti Ahavovoj odmetnuše se Moavci od Izrailja.
After Ahab died, Moab rebelled 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.
Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice-work of his upper room in Samaria and had hurt himself badly. So he sent out messengers, telling them: “Go and ask Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will get better from this injury.”
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?
But the angel of the Lord told Elijah the Tishbite, “Go and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there's no God in Israel that you're going to ask advice from Baal-Zebub, 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.
So this is the Lord's answer: ‘You will not leave the bed on which you are lying. You're definitely going to die.’” And Elijah left.
5 A sluge se vratiše k Ohoziji, i on im reèe: što ste se vratili?
The messengers returned to the king, and he asked them, “Why have you come back?”
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.
“A man came and met us,” they replied. “He told us, ‘Go back to the king who sent you, and tell him, This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to ask advice from Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? As a result you will not leave the bed on which you are lying. You're definitely going to die.’”
7 A on im reèe: kakav bješe na oèi taj èovjek koji vas srete i to vam reèe?
“What was he like, this man who met you and told you all this?” the king asked.
8 A oni mu odgovoriše: bješe sav kosmat i opasan kožnijem pojasom. A on reèe: to je Ilija Tesviæanin.
“He was a hairy man wearing a leather belt around his waist,” they replied. “It's Elijah the Tishbite,” said the king.
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.
Then the king sent an army captain with fifty men to Elijah. The captain went up to Elijah, who was sitting on the top of a hill, and told him, “Man of God, the king orders you, ‘Come down!’”
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.
Elijah replied to the captain, “If I am a man of God, then let fire fall from heaven and burn up you and your fifty men.” Fire fell from heaven and burned up the captain and his men.
11 Opet posla k njemu drugog pedesetnika s njegovom pedesetoricom, koji progovori i reèe mu: èovjeèe Božji, car je tako zapovjedio, siði brže.
So the king sent another captain with his fifty men to Elijah. The captain said to Elijah, “Man of God, the king orders you, Come down immediately!”
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.
Elijah replied to the captain, “If I am a man of God, then let fire fall from heaven and burn up you and your fifty men.” Fire fell from heaven and burned up the captain and his men.
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.
So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. The third captain went up, kneeled before Elijah, and pleaded with him, “Man of God, please value my life and the lives of these fifty men.
14 Eto, sišao je oganj s neba i proždro prva dva pedesetnika s njihovom pedesetoricom; ali sada da ti je draga duša moja.
Yes, fire has fallen from heaven and burned up the first two captains of fifty, along with all their men. But now please value 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 told Elijah, “Go down with him. You don't have to be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went down 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.
Elijah told the king, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Is it because there's no God in Israel for you to consult that you have sent messengers to ask advice of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? As a result you will not leave the bed on which you are lying. You're definitely going to 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.
Ahaziah died just as the Lord had said through Elijah. Because he had no son, Joram succeeded him as king in the second year of the reign of Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah.
18 A ostala djela Ohozijina što je èinio, nijesu li zapisana u dnevniku careva Izrailjevih?
The rest of what happened in Ahaziah's reign and what he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
