1 Kralji 13
1 Glej, iz Juda je prišel Božji mož po Gospodovi besedi do Betela in Jerobeám je stal pri oltarju, da zažge kadilo.
One day a prophet, obeying what Yahweh commanded him to do, went from Judah [north] to Bethel. He arrived there right at the time that Jeroboam was standing at the altar, ready to burn incense.
2 Zaklical je zoper oltar v Gospodovi besedi in rekel: »Oh oltar, oltar, tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, otrok bo rojen Davidovi hiši, po imenu Jošíja in na tebi bo daroval duhovnike visokih krajev, ki zažigajo kadilo na tebi in človeške kosti bodo žgane na tebi.‹«
Saying what Yahweh told him to say, the prophet shouted, “This is what Yahweh says [about this] altar [APO]: ‘I want you to know that [some day] a descendant [MTY] of King David will be born. His name will be Josiah, and he will come here. He will slaughter at this altar the priests who are burning incense for sacrifices on the hills [in this area], and he will burn the bones of dead people on this altar.’” [APO]
3 In isti dan je dal znamenje, rekoč: »To je znamenje, ki ga je Gospod govoril: ›Glej, oltar bo razpočen in pepel, ki je na njem, se bo izsul.‹«
Then the prophet also said, “This is what will prove to you that Yahweh has said this: This altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be scattered.’”
4 Pripetilo se je, da ko je kralj Jerobeám slišal izjavo Božjega moža, ki je zaklical proti oltarju v Betelu, da je svojo roko iztegnil od oltarja, rekoč: »Primite ga.« Njegova roka, ki jo je iztegnil proti njemu, pa se je posušila, tako da je ni mogel povleči nazaj k sebi.
When King Jeroboam heard the prophet say that, he pointed his finger at him and said to his servants, “Seize that man!” But immediately the king’s arm became paralyzed/stiff, with the result that he could not move it.
5 Tudi oltar je bil razpočen in pepel razsut z oltarja, glede na znamenje, ki ga je Božji mož dal po Gospodovi besedi.
And the altar immediately split apart, and the ashes spilled out [on the ground], which is what the prophet said that Yahweh [MTY] had predicted would happen.
6 Kralj je Božjemu možu odgovoril in rekel: »Prosi sedaj obličje Gospoda, svojega Boga in moli zame, da bo moja roka lahko ponovno povrnjena k meni.« Božji mož je rotil Gospoda in kraljeva roka je bila ponovno povrnjena k njemu in postala, kakor je bila ta poprej.
Then the king said to the prophet, “Please pray that Yahweh will be merciful to me and heal my arm!” So the prophet prayed, and Yahweh completely healed the king’s arm.
7 Kralj je Božjemu možu rekel: »Pridi z menoj domov, osveži se in dal ti bom nagrado.«
Then the king said to the prophet, “Come home with me and eat some food. And I will also give you a reward [for what you have done]!”
8 Božji mož je kralju odgovoril: »Če mi daš polovico svoje hiše, ne bom šel s teboj niti na tem kraju ne bom jedel kruha niti pil vode.«
But the prophet replied, “Even if you would [promise to] give me half of everything that you own [MTY], I will not go with you, and I will not eat or drink anything with you here,
9 Kajti tako mi je bilo naročeno po Gospodovi besedi, rekoč: »Ne jej kruha, niti ne pij vode, niti se ne obračaj ponovno po isti poti, po kateri si prišel.«
because Yahweh commanded me not to eat or drink anything here. He also commanded me not to return home on the road on which I came here.”
10 Tako je odšel po drugi poti in se ni vrnil po poti, po kateri je prišel v Betel.
So he started to return home, but he did not go on the road on which he came to Bethel. He went on a different road.
11 Torej v Betelu je prebival star prerok. Njegovi sinovi so prišli in mu povedali vsa dela, ki jih je tisti dan Božji mož storil v Betelu. Tudi besede, ki jih je govoril kralju, so povedali svojemu očetu.
At that time there was an old man living in Bethel who was a prophet. His sons came and told him what the prophet [from Judah] had done there on that day, and they also told him what the prophet had said to the king.
12 Njihov oče jim je rekel: »Po kateri poti je odšel?« Kajti njegovi sinovi so videli po kateri poti je odšel Božji mož, ki je prišel iz Juda.
Their father said, “On which road did he go?” So his sons showed him the road on which the prophet from Judah had gone [when he left Bethel].
13 Svojim sinovom je rekel: »Osedlajte mi osla.« Tako so mu osedlali osla, in jahal je na njem
Then he said to his sons, “Put a saddle on my donkey.” So they did that, and he got on the donkey.
14 in odšel za Božjim možem in ga našel sedeti pod hrastom. Rekel mu je: » Ali si ti Božji mož, ki je prišel iz Juda?« Ta je rekel: »Jaz sem.«
He went along the road to (find/catch up with) the prophet from Judah. He found him sitting under an oak tree. He said to him, “Are you the prophet who came from Judah?” He replied, “Yes, I am.”
15 Potem mu je rekel: »Pridi z menoj domov in jej kruh.«
The old prophet said to him, “Come home with me and eat some food.”
16 Ta pa je rekel: »Ne smem se vrniti s teboj, niti vstopiti s teboj, niti na tem kraju ne bom jedel kruha niti pil vode,
He replied, “No, I am not allowed to go with you into your house, or to eat or drink anything with you,
17 kajti po Gospodovi besedi mi je bilo rečeno: ›Ti tam ne boš jedel niti kruha niti pil vode niti se ne boš ponovno obrnil, da bi šel po poti, po kateri si prišel.‹«
because Yahweh told me, ‘Do not eat or drink anything here, and do not return home on the road on which you came.’”
18 Rekel mu je: »Tudi jaz sem prerok, kot si ti in angel mi je po Gospodovi besedi govoril, rekoč: ›Privedi ga s seboj nazaj v svojo hišo, da bo lahko jedel kruh in pil vodo.‹« Toda lagal mu je.
Then the old prophet said to him, “I also am a prophet, like you are. Yahweh sent an angel to tell me that I should take you home with me and give you some food and drink.” But the old man was lying [when he said that].
19 Tako je z njim odšel nazaj in v njegovi hiši jedel kruh in pil vodo.
But because of what the old prophet said, the prophet from Judah returned with him to his home and ate some food and drank some water with him.
20 Pripetilo se je, ko sta sedela pri mizi, da je Gospodova beseda prišla preroku, ki ga je privedel nazaj
While they were sitting at the table, Yahweh spoke to the old man.
21 in Božjemu možu, ki je prišel iz Juda, je zaklical, rekoč: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Ker nisi ubogal Gospodovih ust in se nisi držal Gospodove zapovedi, ki ti jo je Gospod, tvoj Bog, zapovedal,
Then he cried out to the prophet from Judah, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You have disobeyed him, and you have not done what he commanded you to do.
22 temveč si prišel nazaj in si na tem kraju jedel kruh in pil vodo, o čemer ti je Gospod rekel: ›Ne jej kruha in ne pij nobene vode, ‹ tvoje truplo ne bo prišlo v mavzolej tvojih očetov.‹«
Instead, you have come back here and had things to eat and drink in a place where he commanded you not to do that. As a result, you will be killed, and your body will not be buried in the grave where your ancestors are buried.’”
23 Pripetilo se je, ko je pojedel kruh in potem ko je popil, da je zanj osedlal osla, namreč za preroka, ki ga je privedel nazaj.
When they had finished eating, the old man put a saddle on the donkey for the prophet from Judah, [and the prophet from Judah left].
24 Ko je ta odšel, ga je na poti srečal lev in ga usmrtil. Njegovo truplo je bilo vrženo na pot in poleg njega je stal osel, [in] tudi lev je stal poleg trupla.
But as he was going, a lion met him and killed him. The prophet’s corpse was lying on the road, and the donkey was standing beside it, and the lion was also standing beside the corpse.
25 Glej, ljudje so hodili mimo in videli truplo, vrženo na pot in leva, stoječega poleg trupla in prišli so in to povedali v mestu, kjer je živel stari prerok.
Some men passed by and were surprised to see the corpse on the road and the lion standing next to the corpse. So they went into Bethel and reported what they had seen.
26 Ko je prerok, ki ga je privedel nazaj iz poti, slišal o tem, je rekel: »To je Božji mož, ki je bil neposlušen Gospodovi besedi. Zato ga je Gospod izročil levu, ki ga je raztrgal in umoril glede na Gospodovo besedo, ki mu jo je govoril.«
When the old man who had brought the prophet from Judah to his home heard about it, he said, “That is the prophet who disobeyed what Yahweh told him to do! That is why Yahweh allowed the lion to attack him and kill him. That is what Yahweh said would happen!”
27 Svojim sinovom je spregovoril, rekoč: »Osedlajte mi osla.« In osedlali so mu.
Then he said to his sons, “Put a saddle on my donkey.” So they did that.
28 Odšel je in na poti našel njegovo truplo ter osla in leva stati poleg trupla. Lev ni pojedel trupla niti raztrgal osla.
Then he rode on the donkey and found the prophet’s corpse on the road, and his donkey and the lion were still standing there alongside the corpse. But the lion had not eaten any of the flesh of the prophet and had not attacked the donkey.
29 Prerok je pobral truplo Božjega moža, ga položil na osla in ga privedel nazaj, in stari prerok je prišel v mesto, da žaluje in da ga pokoplje.
The old man picked up the corpse of the prophet and put it on his donkey and brought it back to Bethel, in order to mourn for him and to bury his corpse.
30 Njegovo truplo je položil v svoj grob in žalovali so nad njim, rekoč: »Ojoj, moj brat!«
He buried the prophet’s corpse in the grave where other people in his family [had been buried]. Then he and his sons mourned for him, saying, “[We are very sorry], my brother!”
31 Pripetilo se je, potem ko ga je pokopal, da je govoril svojim sinovom, rekoč: »Ko umrem, potem me pokopljite v mavzoleju, v katerem je pokopan Božji mož. Moje kosti položite poleg njegovih kosti,
After they had buried him, the old man said to his sons, “When I die, bury my corpse in the grave where we buried the prophet from Judah. Lay my corpse next to his corpse.
32 kajti beseda, ki jo je klical po Gospodovi besedi zoper oltar v Betelu in zoper vse hiše visokih krajev, ki so v mestih Samarije, se bo zagotovo zgodila.«
[And do not forget what he said, because] the things that Yahweh told him to say about the altar in Bethel, and about the shrines on the hills in the towns in Samaria, will surely happen.”
33 Po tej stvari se Jerobeám ni odvrnil iz svoje zle poti, temveč je ponovno naredil najnižje izmed ljudi za duhovnike na visokih krajih. Kogarkoli je hotel, je uméstil in ta je postal eden izmed duhovnikov visokih krajev.
But King Jeroboam still did not turn away from continuing to do evil things. Instead, he appointed more priests [who were not descended from Levi]. Anyone who wanted to be a priest, he appointed to be a priest, in order that he could offer sacrifices on the hills.
34 Ta stvar je postala greh Jerobeámovi hiši, celo, da jo odseka in da jo uniči iz obličja zemlje.
Because he committed that sin, [a few years later] God got rid of most of Jeroboam’s descendants and did not allow them to become kings of Israel.
