2 Књига о царевима 4

1 А једна између жена синова пророчких повика к Јелисију говорећи: Слуга твој, муж мој, умре, и ти знаш да се слуга твој бојао Господа: па сада дође рукодавалац да ми узме два сина у робље.

Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets to Elisha, saying, Your servant my husband is dead; and you know that your servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take to him my two sons to be slaves.

2 А Јелисије јој рече: Шта ћу ти? Кажи ми шта имаш у кући? А она рече: Слушкиња твоја нема у кући ништа до судић уља.

And Elisha said to her, What shall I do for you? tell me, what have you in the house? And she said, Your handmaid has not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.

3 А он јој рече: Иди, ишти у наруч празних судова у свих суседа својих, немој мало да иштеш.

Then he said, Go, borrow you vessels abroad of all your neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

4 Па отиди, и затвори се у кућу са синовима својим, па онда наливај у све судове, и кад се који напуни, кажи нека уклоне.

And when you are come in, you shall shut the door on you and on your sons, and shall pour out into all those vessels, and you shall set aside that which is full.

5 И она отиде од њега, и затвори се у кућу са синовима својим; они јој додаваху а она наливаше.

So she went from him, and shut the door on her and on her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.

6 А кад се судови напунише, она рече сину свом: Дај још један суд. А он јој рече: Нема више. Тада стаде уље.

And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said to her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

7 Потом она отиде и каза човеку Божијем; а он јој рече: Иди, продај уље, и одужи се; а шта претече, оним се храни са својим синовима.

Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt, and live you and your children of the rest.

8 После тога једном иђаше Јелисије кроз Сунам, а онде беше богата жена, која га устави да једе хлеба; и отада кад год пролажаше, навраћаше се к њој да једе хлеба.

And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

9 И она рече мужу свом: Гле, видим да је свет човек Божји овај што све пролази овуда.

And she said to her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passes by us continually.

10 Да начинимо малу клет, и да му наместимо постељу и сто и столицу и свећњак, па кад дође к нама, нека се ту склони.

Let us make a little chamber, I pray you, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he comes to us, that he shall turn in thither.

11 Потом он дође једном онамо, и ушавши у клет почину онде.

And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.

12 И рече момку свом Гијезију: Зови Сунамку. Он је дозва; и она стаде пред њим.

And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

13 И он рече Гијезију: Кажи јој: Ето стараш се за нас свакојако; шта хоћеш да ти учиним? Имаш ли шта да говорим цару или војводи? А она рече: Ја живим сред свог народа.

And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, you have been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for you? would you be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among my own people.

14 А он рече: Шта бих јој дакле учинио? А Гијезије рече: Ето нема сина, а муж јој је стар.

And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Truly she has no child, and her husband is old.

15 А он рече: Зови је. И он је дозва, и она стаде на вратима.

And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

16 А он рече: До године у ово доба грлићеш сина. А она рече: Немој господару мој, човече Божји, немој варати слушкиње своје.

And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, you shall embrace a son. And she said, No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your handmaid.

17 И затрудне жена, и роди сина друге године у исто доба, као што јој рече Јелисије.

And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season that Elisha had said to her, according to the time of life.

18 И дете одрасте. И једном изађе к оцу свом к жетеоцима;

And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

19 И рече оцу свом: Јаох глава, јаох глава! А он рече момку: Носи га матери.

And he said to his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.

20 И он га узе и однесе матери његовој, и лежа на крилу њеном до подне, па умре.

And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.

21 Тада отиде она горе, и намести га у постељу човека Божјег, и затворивши га изађе.

And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door on him, and went out.

22 Потом викну мужа свог и рече му: Пошљи ми једног момка и једну магарицу да отрчим до човека Божјег и да се вратим.

And she called to her husband, and said, Send me, I pray you, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

23 А он рече: Зашто данас хоћеш да идеш к њему? Нити је младина ни субота. А она рече: Не брини се.

And he said, Why will you go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.

24 И она осамаривши магарицу рече момку свом: Води и иди и немој застајати мене ради на путу докле ти не кажем.

Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not your riding for me, except I bid you.

25 Тако пошавши дође човеку Божјем на гору кармилску. А кад је човек Божји угледа где иде к њему, рече Гијезију слузи свом: Ево Сунамке.

So she went and came to the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:

26 Трчи сад пред њу и реци јој: Јеси ли здраво? Је ли здраво муж твој? Је ли здраво син твој? А она рече: Здраво смо.

Run now, I pray you, to meet her, and say to her, Is it well with you? is it well with your husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well:

27 А кад дође к човеку Божјем на гору, загрли му ноге, а Гијезије приступи да је отера; али човек Божји рече: Остави је, јер јој је душа у јаду, а Господ сакри од мене и не јави ми.

And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD has hid it from me, and has not told me.

28 А она рече: Јесам ли искала сина од господара свог? Нисам ли казала: Немој ме варати?

Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?

29 А он рече Гијезију: Опаши се и узми штап мој у руку, па иди; ако сретнеш кога, немој га поздрављати, и ако те ко поздрави, немој му одговарати, и метни мој штап на лице детету.

Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up your loins, and take my staff in your hand, and go your way: if you meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute you, answer him not again: and lay my staff on the face of the child.

30 А мати детиња рече: Тако да је жив Господ и тако да је жива душа твоја, нећу те се оставити. Тада он уста и пође за њом.

And the mother of the child said, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. And he arose, and followed her.

31 А Гијезије отиде напред и метну штап на лице детету, али не би гласа ни осећаја. Тада се врати преда њ, и јави му говорећи: Не пробуди се дете.

And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff on the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Why he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.

32 И Јелисије уђе у кућу, и гле, дете мртво лежи на његовој постељи.

And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid on his bed.

33 И ушавши затвори се с дететом, и помоли се Господу.

He went in therefore, and shut the door on them two, and prayed to the LORD.

34 Потом стаде на постељу и леже на дете метнув уста своја на уста детету, и очи своје на очи његове, и дланове своје на његове дланове, и пружи се над њим, те се загреја тело детету.

And he went up, and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands: and stretched himself on the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

35 Потом уста, и пређе по кући једном тамо и једном амо, потом отиде опет и пружи се над дететом. И кихну дете седам пута, и отвори дете очи своје.

Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself on him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

36 Тада дозва Гијезија и рече му: Зови Сунамку. И он је дозва, те дође к њему. И он јој рече: Узми сина свог.

And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in to him, he said, Take up your son.

37 И она ушавши паде к ногама његовим, и поклони му се до земље, и узевши сина свог отиде.

Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.

38 Потом врати се Јелисије у Галгал. А беше глад у оној земљи, и синови пророчки сеђаху пред њим; а он рече момку свом: Пристави велики лонац и скувај зеља синовима пророчким.

And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets.

39 А један отиде у поље да набере зеља, и нађе дивљу лозу и набра с ње дивљих тиквица пун плашт, и дошавши сасече их у лонац где беше зеље, јер их не познаваху.

And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not.

40 И усуше људима да једу; а кад стадоше јести оног зеља, повикаше говорећи: Смрт је у лонцу, човече Божји! И не могаху јести.

So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O you man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.

41 А он рече: Донесите брашна. И сасу брашно у лонац, и рече: Успи људима нека једу. И не би више никаквог зла у лонцу.

But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.

42 А дође неко из Вал-Салисе, и донесе човеку Божјем хлеба од првина, двадесет хлебова јечмених, и нових зрна у класу. А он рече: Постави народу, нека једу.

And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give to the people, that they may eat.

43 А слуга му рече: Како ћу то поставити пред сто људи? Опет рече: Постави народу, нека једу; јер је тако казао Господ: Јешће, и претећи ће.

And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus says the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.

44 А он им постави, те једоше; и претече по речи Господњој.

So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD.
