2 Књига о царевима 7
1 Тада рече Јелисије: Чујте реч Господњу: Тако вели Господ: Сутра ће у ово доба бити мера белог брашна за сикал а две мере јечма за сикал на вратима самаријским.
Then said Elisha', Hear ye the word of the Lord: Thus hath said the Lord, About this time tomorrow a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
2 А војвода на ког се руку цар наслањаше, одговори човеку Божијем и рече: Да Господ начини окна на небу, би ли могло то бити? А Јелисије рече: Ето, ти ћеш видети својим очима, али га нећеш јести.
Then answered the lord of the king, on whose hand he used to lean, the man of God, and said, Behold, will the Lord make windows in the heavens, that this thing shall be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but thereof shalt thou not eat.
3 А беху на вратима четири човека губава, и рекоше један другом: Што седимо овде да умремо?
And there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate: and they said one to another, Why do we remain here until we die?
4 Да кажемо: Да уђемо у град, глад је у граду, те ћемо умрети онде: а да останемо овде, опет ћемо умрети; него хајде да ускочимо у логор сирски: ако нас оставе у животу, остаћемо у животу, ако ли нас погубе, погинућемо.
If we say, We will enter into the city, then is the famine in the city, and we shall die there; and if we remain here, we die [also]: now therefore come, and let us go over unto the camp of the Syrians; if they will let us live, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
5 И тако, уставши у сумрак пођоше у логор сирски, и дођоше до краја логора сирског, и гле, не беше никога.
And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians; and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no man there.
6 Јер Господ учини те се у логору сирском чу лупа кола и коња и велике војске, те рекоше један другом: Ето цар је Израиљев најмио на нас цареве хетејске и цареве мисирске да ударе на нас.
For the Lord had caused the camp of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, the noise of a large army: and they said one to the other, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
7 Те се подигоше и побегоше по мраку оставивши шаторе своје и коње своје и магарце своје и логор као што је био, и побегоше ради душа својих.
And they were arisen and fled in the twilight, and had left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
8 Па кад дођоше губавци на крај логора, уђоше у један шатор, и наједоше се и напише се, и покупише из њега сребро и злато и хаљине, и отидоше те сакрише. Па се вратише и уђоше у други шатор, па покупише и из њега, и отидоше те сакрише.
And so came these lepers to the uttermost part of the camp, and they went into one tent, and ate and drank, and carried away thence silver, and gold, and garments, and went and hid them; and they returned, and entered into another tent, and carried away [something] thence, and went and hid it.
9 Тада рекоше међу собом: Не радимо добро; овај је дан дан добрих гласова; а ми ћутимо. Ако ушчекамо до зоре, стигнуће нас безакоње. Зато сада хајде да идемо и јавимо дому царевом.
And then they said one to the other, We do not act correctly; this day is a day of good tidings; and if we remain silent, and tarry till the morning-light, we shall incur guilt: now then come, and let us go and tell it at the king's house.
10 И тако дошавши дозваше вратара градског и казаше му говорећи: Идосмо у логор сирски, и гле, нема никога, ни гласа човечијег; него коњи повезани и магарци повезани, и шатори како су били.
So they went and called unto one of the gate-keepers of the city, and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, nor the voice of man; but the horses were tied, and the asses were tied, and the tents as they had been.
11 А он дозва остале вратаре, и јавише у дом царев.
And he called the gate-keepers; and they told it at the king's house within.
12 А цар уставши по ноћи рече слугама својим: Казаћу вам сада шта су нам учинили Сирци. Знају да гладујемо, зато отидоше из логора да се сакрију у пољу говорећи: Кад изиђу из града, похватаћемо их живе и ући ћемо у град.
And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I can easily tell you what the Syrians have done to us: they know that we are hungry; and they are therefore gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, If they should come out of the city, we will catch them alive, and enter into the city.
13 А један од слуга његових одговори и рече: Да узмемо пет осталих коња што још има у граду; гле, то је све што је остало од мноштва коња израиљских; то је све што није изгинуло од мноштва коња израиљских; да пошаљемо да видимо.
And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, let it fare with them as with all the multitude of Israel that are left in it, [or] let it fare with them as with all the multitude of Israel that have perished: and let us send out and see.
14 И узеше два коња колска, које посла цар за војском сирском, говорећи: Идите и видите.
And they took two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the camp of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
15 И отидоше за њима до Јордана, и гле, по свему путу беше пуно хаљина и судова, које побацаше Сирци у хитњи. Тада се вратише посланици и јавише цару.
And they went after them as far as the Jordan; and, lo, the whole way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste: and the messengers returned, and told it to the king.
16 Тада изађе народ и разграби логор сирски; и беше мера белог брашна за сикал, и две мере јечма за сикал, по речи Господњој.
And the people went out, and plundered the camp of the Syrians: and a seah of fine flour was to be had for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord.
17 И цар постави на врата оног војводу, на ког се руку наслањаше, а народ га изгази на вратима, те умре, по речи човека Божијег, коју рече кад цар к њему дође.
And the king had appointed the lord on whose hand he used to lean to have the charge of the gate; and the people trod him down in the gate, and he died; as the man of God had spoken, which he spoke when the king came down to him.
18 Јер кад човек Божји рече цару: Две мере јечма за сикал и мера белог брашна за сикал биће сутра у ово доба на вратима самаријским,
And it came to pass as the man of God was speaking to the king, saying, Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be about this time tomorrow in the gate of Samaria:
19 А онај војвода одговори човеку Божијем говорећи: Да Господ начини окна на небу, би ли могло бити шта кажеш? А Јелисије рече: Ти ћеш видети својим очима, али га нећеш јести.
That the Lord had answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if even the Lord were to make windows in the heavens, would such a thing be? And he had said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but thereof shalt thou not eat.
20 И зби му се то, јер га изгази народ на вратима, те умре.
And it happened unto him so; for the people trod him down in the gate, and he died.
