1 Књига о царевима 13
1 А гле, човек Божји дође из земље Јудине с речју Господњом у Ветиљ, кад Јеровоам стајаше код олтара да кади.
Then a man of God came from Judah by the order of the Lord to Beth-el, where Jeroboam was by the altar, burning offerings.
2 И повика пут олтара речју Господњом говорећи: Олтаре! Олтаре! Овако вели Господ: Ево, родиће се син дому Давидовом по имену Јосија, који ће на теби клати свештенике висина, који каде на теби, и људске ће кости спалити на теби.
And by the order of the Lord he made an outcry against the altar, saying, O altar, altar, the Lord has said, From the seed of David will come a child, named Josiah, and on you he will put to death the priests of the high places, who are burning offerings on you, and men's bones will be burned on you.
3 И учини знак истог дана говорећи: Ово је знак да је Господ то рекао: Ето, олтар ће се распасти и просуће се пепео што је на њему.
The same day he gave them a sign, saying, This is the sign which the Lord has given: See, the altar will be broken and the burned waste on it overturned.
4 А кад цар Јеровоам чу речи човека Божијег које викаше олтару ветиљском, пружи руку своју с олтара говорећи: Држите га! Али усахну му рука коју пружи на њ, и не могаше је повратити к себи.
Then the king, hearing the man of God crying out against the altar at Beth-el, put out his hand from the altar, saying, Take him prisoner. And his hand, stretched out against him, became dead, and he had no power of pulling it back.
5 А олтар се распаде, и просу се пепео с олтара по знаку који учини човек Божји речју Господњом.
And the altar was broken and the burned waste on it overturned; this was the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the Lord.
6 Тада цар рече човеку Божијем: Припадни ка Господу Богу свом, и помоли се за ме да ми се поврати рука. И човек се Божји помоли Господу, и поврати се цару рука, и поста као што је била.
Then the king made answer and said to the man of God, Make a prayer now for the grace of the Lord your God, and for me, that my hand may be made well. And in answer to the prayer of the man of God, the king's hand was made well again, as it was before.
7 И рече цар човеку Божијем: Ходи са мном кући мојој, и поткрепи се, и даћу ти дар.
And the king said to the man of God, Come with me to my house for food and rest, and I will give you a reward.
8 Али човек Божји рече цару: Да ми даш по куће своје, не бих ишао с тобом нити бих јео хлеба ни воде пио у овом месту.
But the man of God said to the king, Even if you gave me half of all you have, I would not go in with you, and I would not take food or a drink of water in this place;
9 Јер ми је тако заповедио својом речју Господ говорећи: Не једи хлеба ни пиј воде, нити се враћај истим путем којим отидеш.
For so I was ordered by the word of the Lord, who said, You are not to take food or a drink of water, and you are not to go back the way you came.
10 И отиде другим путем, а не врати се оним којим беше дошао у Ветиљ.
So he went another way, and not by the way he came to Beth-el.
11 А у Ветиљу живљаше један стари пророк, коме дође син његов и приповеди све што учини пророк Божји онај дан у Ветиљу, и речи које рече цару; и приповедише синови тог пророка оцу свом.
Now there was an old prophet living in Beth-el; and one of his sons came and gave him word of all the man of God had done that day in Beth-el, and they gave their father an account of the words he had said to the king.
12 А отац им рече: Којим је путем отишао? И показаше синови пут којим отиде човек Божји који беше дошао из земље Јудине.
Then their father said to them, Which way did he go? Now his sons had seen which way the man of God who came from Judah had gone.
13 А он рече синовима својим: Осамарите ми магарца. И осамарише му магарца, те уседе на њ.
So the prophet said to his sons, Make ready an ass for me. So they made an ass ready, and he got on it,
14 И пође за човеком Божјим, и нађе га а он седи под храстом, па му рече: Јеси ли ти човек Божји што дође из земље Јудине? Он му одговори: Ја сам.
And went after the man of God, and came up with him while he was seated under an oak-tree. And he said to him, Are you the man of God who came from Judah? And he said, I am.
15 А он му рече: Ходи са мном мојој кући да једеш хлеба.
Then he said to him, Come back to the house with me and have a meal.
16 Али он одговори: Не могу се вратити с тобом ни ићи с тобом; нити ћу јести хлеба ни пити воде с тобом у овом месту.
But he said, I may not go back with you or go into your house; and I will not take food or a drink of water with you in this place;
17 Јер ми је речено речју Господњом: Не једи хлеба ни пиј воде онде, нити се враћај путем којим отидеш.
For the Lord said to me, You are not to take food or water there, or go back again by the way you came.
18 А он му рече: и ја сам пророк као ти, и анђео Господњи рече ми речју Господњом говорећи: Врати га са собом у своју кућу нека једе хлеба и пије воде. Али му слага.
Then he said to him, I am a prophet like you; and an angel said to me by the word of the Lord, Take him back with you and give him food and water. But he said false words to him.
19 И врати се с њим, те једе хлеба у његовој кући и пи воде.
So he went back with him, and had a meal in his house and a drink of water.
20 А кад сеђаху за столом, дође реч Господња пророку који га беше вратио;
But while they were seated at the table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had taken him back;
21 И повика на човека Божјег који беше дошао из земље Јудине, и рече: Овако вели Господ: Што ниси послушао реч Господњу, и ниси држао заповест коју ти је заповедио Господ Бог твој,
And crying out to the man of God who came from Judah, he said, The Lord says, Because you have gone against the voice of the Lord, and have not done as you were ordered by the Lord,
22 Него си се вратио и јео хлеба и пио воде на месту за које ти је рекао: Не једи хлеба ни пиј воде; зато неће твоје тело доћи у гроб твојих отаца.
But have come back, and have taken food and water in this place where he said you were to take no food or water; your dead body will not be put to rest with your fathers.
23 И пошто се пророк ког беше вратио наједе хлеба и пошто се напи, осамари му магарца.
Now after the meal he made ready the ass for him, for the prophet whom he had taken back.
24 А кад отиде, удеси га лав на путу и закла га. И тело његово лежаше на путу и магарац стајаше код њега; такође и лав стајаше код тела.
And he went on his way; but on the road a lion came rushing at him and put him to death; and his dead body was stretched in the road with the ass by its side, and the lion was there by the body.
25 И гле, људи пролазећи видеше тело где лежи на путу и лава где стоји код тела, и дошавши јавише у граду у коме живљаше стари пророк.
And some men, going by, saw the body stretched out in the road with the lion by its side; and they came and gave news of it in the town where the old prophet was living.
26 А кад то чу пророк који га беше вратио с пута, рече: Ово је човек Божји, који не послуша речи Господње, зато га даде Господ лаву да га растргне и усмрти по речи Господњој коју му рече.
Then the prophet who had made him come back, hearing it, said, It is the man of God, who went against the word of the Lord; that is why the Lord has given him to the lion to be wounded to death, as the Lord said.
27 И рече синовима својим говорећи: Осамарите ми магарца. И осамарише.
And he said to his sons, Make ready the ass for me. And they did so.
28 И отишавши, нађе тело где лежи на путу, и магарца и лава где стоје код тела: Лав не беше изјео тело ни магарца растргао.
And he went and saw the dead body stretched out in the road with the ass and the lion by its side: the lion had not taken the body for its food or done any damage to the ass.
29 Тада пророк подиже тело човека Божијег, и метнув га на магарца, однесе га натраг, и дође у град стари пророк да га ожали и погребе.
Then the prophet took up the body of the man of God and put it on the ass and took it back; and he came to the town to put the body to rest with weeping.
30 И метну тело у свој гроб, и плакаху над њим говорећи: Јаох брате!
And he put the body in the resting-place made ready for himself, weeping and sorrowing over it, saying, O my brother!
31 А пошто га погребе, рече синовима својим говорећи: Кад умрем, погребите ме у гробу где је погребен човек Божји, покрај костију његових метните кости моје.
And when he had put it to rest, he said to his sons, When I am dead, then you are to put my body into the earth with the body of this man of God, and put me by his bones so that my bones may be kept safe with his bones.
32 Јер ће се зацело збити шта је огласио по речи Господњој за олтар ветиљски и за све куће висина које су по градовима самаријским.
For the outcry he made by the word of the Lord against the altar in Beth-el and against all the houses of the high places in the towns of Samaria, will certainly come about.
33 Пошто ово би, опет се Јеровоам не врати са свог злог пута; него опет начини из простог народа свештенике висинама; ко год хоћаше, томе он посвећиваше руке и тај постајаше свештеник висинама.
After this Jeroboam, not turning back from his evil ways, still made priests for his altars from among all the people; he made a priest of anyone desiring it, so that there might be priests of the high places.
34 И то би на грех дому Јеровоамовом да би се истребио и да би га нестало са земље.
And this became a sin in the family of Jeroboam, causing it to be cut off and sent to destruction from the face of the earth.
