1 Kralji 19
1 Aháb je Jezabeli povedal vse, kar je storil Elija in poleg tega, kako je z mečem umoril vse preroke.
And Achaab told Jezabel his wife all that Eliu [had] done, and how he [had] slain the prophets with the sword.
2 Potem je Jezabela k Eliju poslala poslanca, rekoč: »Tako naj mi storijo bogovi in tudi več, če ne bom jutri okrog tega časa naredila tvojega življenja kakor življenja enega izmed teh.«
And Jezabel sent to Eliu, and said, If you are Eliu and I am Jezabel, God do so to me, and more also, if I do not make your life by this time to-morrow as the life of one of them.
3 Ko je to videl, je vstal in hodil za svoje življenje in prišel v Beeršébo, ki pripada Judu in tam pustil svojega služabnika.
And Eliu feared, and rose, and departed for his life: and he comes to Bersabee [to] the land of Juda, and he left his servant there.
4 Toda on sam je odšel pot enega dne v divjino in prišel ter se usedel pod brinovo drevo. In zase je zahteval, da bi lahko umrl in rekel: »Dovolj je. Sedaj, oh Gospod, vzemi moje življenje, kajti nisem boljši kakor moji očetje.«
And he himself went a day's journey in the wilderness, and came and sat under a juniper tree; and asked concerning his life that he might die, and said, Let it be enough now, O Lord, take, I pray you, my life from me; for I am no better than my fathers.
5 Ko se je ulegel in pod brinovim drevesom zaspal, glej, takrat se ga je dotaknil angel in mu rekel: »Vstani in jej.«
And he lay down and slept there under a tree; and behold, some one touched him, and said to him, Arise and eat.
6 Pogledal je in glej, tam je bil kolač, pečen na ogorkih in vrč vode pri njegovi glavi. Jedel je in pil ter ponovno legel.
And Eliu looked, and, behold, at his head there was a cake of meal and a cruse of water; and he arose, and ate and drank, and returned and lay down.
7 Gospodov angel je ponovno prišel, drugič, se ga dotaknil in rekel: »Vstani in jej, kajti potovanje je preveliko zate.«
And the angel of the Lord returned again, and touched him, and said to him, Arise, and eat, for the journey [is] far from you.
8 Vstal je, jedel, pil in hodil v moči te hrane štirideset dni in štirideset noči do Božje gore Horeb.
And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights to mount Choreb.
9 In prišel tja v votlino ter tam prenočil. Glej, k njemu je prišla beseda od Gospoda in on mu je rekel: »Kaj delaš tukaj, Elija?«
And he entered there into a cave, and rested there; and, behold, the word of the Lord [came] to him, and he said, What [do] you here, Eliu?
10 Rekel je: »Bil sem zelo goreč za Gospoda, Boga nad bojevniki, kajti Izraelovi otroci so zapustili tvojo zavezo, zrušili tvoje oltarje in z mečem pomorili tvoje preroke, in jaz, celó samo jaz sem ostal in strežejo mi po življenju, da bi mi ga vzeli.«
And Eliu said, I have been very jealous for the Lord Almighty, because the children of Israel have forsaken you: they have digged down your altars, and have slain your prophets with the sword; and I only am left alone, and they seek my life to take it.
11 In on je rekel: »Pojdi naprej in stoj na gori pred Gospodom.« Glej, Gospod je šel mimo in velik, močan veter je trgal gore in skale drobil na koščke pred Gospodom, toda Gospoda ni bilo v vetru. In za vetrom potres, toda Gospoda ni bilo v potresu.
And he said, You shall go forth to-morrow, and shall stand before the Lord in the mount; behold, the Lord will pass by. And, behold, a great [and] strong wind rending the mountains, and crushing the rocks before the Lord; [but] the Lord [was] not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the Lord [was] not in the earthquake:
12 In za potresom ogenj, toda Gospod ni bil v ognju. In za ognjem tih, majhen glas.
and after the earthquake a fire; [but] the Lord [was] not in the fire: and after the fire the voice of a gentle breeze.
13 Bilo je tako, ko je Elija to slišal, da je svoj obraz zavil v svoje ogrinjalo in odšel ven in stal na vhodu votline. Glej, tam je prišel k njemu glas in rekel: »Kaj delaš tukaj, Elija?«
And it came to pass when Eliu heard, that he wrapt his face in his mantle, and went forth and stood in the cave: and, behold, a voice [came] to him and said, What [do] you here, Eliu?
14 Rekel je: »Bil sem zelo goreč za Gospoda, Boga nad bojevniki, ker so Izraelovi otroci zapustili tvojo zavezo, zrušili tvoje oltarje in z mečem pomorili tvoje preroke. Jaz, celó samo jaz sem ostal in strežejo mi po življenju, da bi mi ga vzeli.«
And Eliu said, I have been very jealous for the Lord Almighty; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, and they have overthrown your altars, and have slain your prophets with the sword! and I am left entirely alone, and they seek my life to take it.
15 Gospod mu je rekel: »Pojdi, vrni se po svoji poti k divjini Damaska in ko prideš, mazili Hazaéla, da postane kralj nad Sirijo.
And the Lord said to him, Go, return, and you shall come into the way of the wilderness of Damascus: and you shall go and anoint Azael to be king over Syria.
16 Nimšíjevega sina Jehúja pa boš mazilil, da bo kralj nad Izraelom. Šafátovega sina Elizeja, iz Abél Mehóle, pa boš mazili, da bo prerok namesto tebe.
And Ju the son of Namessi shall you anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisaie the son of Saphat shall you anoint to be prophet in your room.
17 Zgodilo se bo, da tisti, ki pobegne Hazaélovemu meču, ga bo ubil Jehú. Tistega, ki pobegne pred Jehújevim mečem, pa bo ubil Elizej.
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapes from the sword of Azael, Ju shall kill; and him that escapes from the sword of Ju, Elisaie shall kill.
18 Vendar sem si jih pustil v Izraelu sedem tisoč, vsa kolena, ki se niso upognila Báalu in vsaka usta, ki ga niso poljubila.«
And you shall leave in Israel seven thousand men, all the knees which had not bowed themselves to Baal, and every mouth which had not worshipped him.
19 Tako je odpotoval od tam in našel Šafátovega sina Elizeja, ki je oral z dvanajstimi volovskimi jarmi pred seboj in on je bil z dvanajstim. Elija je šel mimo njega in svoje ogrinjalo vrgel nanj.
And he departed thence, and finds Elisaie the son of Saphat, and he was plowing with oxen; [there were] twelve yoke before him, and he with the twelve, and he passed by to him, and cast his mantle upon him.
20 Ta je pustil vole in stekel za Elijem ter rekel: »Pusti me, prosim te, poljubiti svojega očeta in svojo mater in potem ti bom sledil.« Rekel mu je: »Pojdi ponovno nazaj, kajti kaj sem ti storil?«
And Elisaie left the cattle, and ran after Eliu and said, I will kiss my father, and follow after you. And Eliu said, Return, for I have done [a work] for you.
21 Vrnil se je nazaj od njega, vzel volovski jarem, jih usmrtil in njihovo meso skuhal z volovskimi pripravami in dal ljudstvu in so jedli. Potem je vstal, odšel za Elijem in mu služil.
And he returned from following him, and took a yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled them with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate: and he arose, and went after Eliu, and ministered to him.
