1 Kralji 20
1 Sirski kralj Ben Hadád je zbral skupaj vso svojo vojsko, in tam je bilo z njim dvaintrideset kraljev, konji in bojni vozovi. Odšel je gor, oblegal Samarijo in se vojskoval zoper njo.
And Nabuthai the Jezraelite had a vineyard, near the threshingfloor of Achaab king of Samaria.
2 V mesto je poslal poslance, k Izraelovemu kralju Ahábu in mu rekel: »Tako govori Ben Hadád:
And Achaab spoke to Nabuthai, saying, Give me thy vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs, for it [is] near my house: and I will give thee another vineyard better than it; or if it please thee, I will give thee money, the price of this thy vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs.
3 ›Tvoje srebro in tvoje zlato je moje. Tudi tvoje žene in tvoji otroci, celó najčednejši, so moji.‹«
And Nabuthai said to Achaab, My God forbid me that I should give thee the inheritance of my fathers.
4 Izraelov kralj je odgovoril in rekel: »Moj gospod, oh kralj, glede na tvoj govor: ›Jaz sem tvoj in vse kar imam.‹«
And the spirit of Achaab was troubled, and he lay down upon his bed, and covered his face, and ate no bread.
5 Poslanci so ponovno prišli in rekli: »Tako govori Ben Hadád, rekoč: ›Čeprav sem poslal k tebi, rekoč: ›Izročil mi boš svoje srebro, svoje zlato, svoje žene in svoje otroke,
And Jezabel his wife went in to him, and spoke to him, [saying], Why [is] thy spirit troubled, and [why] dost thou eat no bread?
6 bom vendar naslednji dan, okrog tega časa, k tebi poslal svoje služabnike in preiskali bodo tvojo hišo in hiše tvojih služabnikov, in zgodilo se bo, da karkoli je prijetno v tvojih očeh, da bodo to položili v svojo roko in to odnesli proč.‹«
And he said to her, Because I spoke to Nabuthai the Jezraelite, saying, Give me thy vineyard for money; or if thou wilt, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers.
7 Potem je Izraelov kralj poklical vse starešine dežele in rekel: »Spoznajte, prosim vas in poglejte, kako ta mož išče vragolijo, kajti k meni je poslal po moje žene, po moje otroke, po moje srebro in po moje zlato, pa mu nisem odrekel.«
And Jezabel his wife said to him, Dost thou now thus act the king over Israel? arise, and eat bread, and be thine own [master], and I will give thee the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite.
8 Vse starešine in vse ljudstvo mu je reklo: »Ne prisluhni mu niti ne privoli.«
And she wrote a letter in the name of Achaab, and sealed it with his seal, and sent the letter to the elders, and to the freemen who dwelt with Nabuthai.
9 Zatorej je Ben Hadádovim poslancem rekel: »Mojemu gospodu kralju povejte: ›Vse, po kar si prvič poslal k svojemu služabniku, bom storil, toda te stvari ne morem storiti.‹« Poslanci so odšli in mu ponovno prinesli besedo.
And it was written in the letters, saying, Keep a fast, and set Naboth in a chief place among the people.
10 Ben Hadád je poslal k njemu in rekel: »Bogovi naj mi tako storijo in še več, če bo prah Samarije zadoščal za prgišča vsega ljudstva, ki mi sledi.«
And set two men, sons of transgressors, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, He blessed God and the king: and let them lead him forth, and stone him, and let them die.
11 Izraelov kralj je odgovoril in rekel: »Povej mu: ›Naj se tisti, ki si opasuje opremo, ne baha kakor, da jo je že odložil.‹«
And the men of his city, the elders, and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezabel sent to them, and as it had been written in the letters which she sent to them.
12 Pripetilo se je, ko je Ben Hadád slišal to sporočilo, medtem ko je pil on in kralji v paviljonih, da je rekel svojim služabnikom: »Postrojite se v vrsto.« In postavili so se v vrsto zoper mesto.
And they proclaimed a fast, and set Nebuthai in a chief place among the people.
13 Glej, tam je h kralju Ahábu prišel prerok iz Izraela, rekoč: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Ali si videl vso to veliko množico? Glej, ta dan jo bom izročil v tvojo roko, in ti boš vedel, da sem jaz Gospod.‹«
And two men, sons of transgressors, came in, and sat opposite him, and bore witness against him, saying, Thou hast blessed God and the king. And they led him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, and he died.
14 Aháb je rekel: »Po kom?« Rekel je: »Tako govori Gospod: › Celó po mladeničih princev provinc.‹« Potem je rekel: »Kdo bo ukazoval bitki?« Odgovoril je: »Ti.«
And they sent to Jezabel, saying, Nabuthai is stoned, and is dead.
15 Potem je preštel mladeniče princev provinc in bilo jih je dvesto dvaintrideset. Za njimi je preštel vse ljudstvo, celo vse Izraelove otroke, bilo [jih je] sedem tisoč.
And it came to pass, when Jezabel heard [it], that she said to Achaab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, who would not sell it to thee: for Nebuthai is not alive, for he is dead.
16 Ven so odšli opoldan. Toda Ben Hadád se je v paviljonih opijal do pijanosti, on in kralji, dvaintrideset kraljev, ki so mu pomagali.
And it came to pass, when Achaab heard that Nabuthai the Jezraelite was dead, that he rent his garments, and put on sackcloth. And it came to pass afterward, that Achaab arose and went down to the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, to take possession of it.
17 Mladeniči princev provinc so prvi odšli ven in Ben Hadád je poslal ven in povedali so mu, rekoč: »Tam so prišli možje iz Samarije.«
And the Lord spoke to Eliu the Thesbite, saying,
18 Rekel je: »Če so prišli ven za mir, jih ujemite žive, ali če so prišli ven za vojno, jih ujemite žive.«
Arise, and go down to meet Achaab king of Israel, who is in Samaria, for he [is] in the vineyard of Nabuthai, for he has gone down thither to take possession of it.
19 Tako so ti mladeniči princev provinc prišli ven iz mesta in vojska, ki jim je sledila.
And thou shalt speak to him, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast slain and taken possession, therefore thus saith the Lord, In every place where the swine and the dogs have licked the blood of Nabuthai, there shall the dogs lick thy blood; and the harlots shall wash themselves in thy blood.
20 Usmrtili so vsak svojega moža in Sirci so zbežali, Izrael pa jih je zasledoval in sirski kralj Ben Hadád je s konjeniki pobegnil na konju.
And Achaab said to Eliu, Hast thou found me, mine enemy? and he said, I have found [thee]: because thou hast wickedly sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger;
21 Izraelov kralj je odšel ven in udaril konje in vozove in Sirce usmrtil z velikim pokolom.
behold, I bring evil upon thee: and I will kindle a fire after thee, and I will utterly destroy every male of Achaab, and him that is shut up and him that is left in Israel.
22 Prerok je prišel k Izraelovemu kralju in mu rekel: »Pojdi, okrepi se in se ozri in poglej kaj počneš, kajti ob vrnitvi leta bo kralj iz Sirije ponovno prišel gor zoper tebe.«
And I will make thy house as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and as the house of Baasa son of Achia, because of the provocations wherewith thou hast provoked [me], and caused Israel to sin.
23 Služabniki kralja iz Sirije so mu rekli: »Njihovi bogovi so bogovi hribov, zato so bili močnejši kakor mi, toda naj se borimo zoper njih na ravnini in bomo zagotovo močnejši kakor oni.
And the Lord spoke of Jezabel, saying, The dogs shall devour her within the fortification of Jezrael.
24 Stôri to stvar. Kralje vzemi proč, vsakega moža iz svojega kraja in namesto njih postavi poveljnike.
Him that is dead of Achaab in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that is dead of him in the field shall the birds of the sky eat.
25 Naštej si vojsko, podobno vojski, ki si jo izgubil, konja za konja in bojni voz za bojni voz, in mi se bomo borili zoper njih na ravnini in bomo zagotovo močnejši kakor oni.« Prisluhnil je njihovemu glasu in tako storil.
But Achaab [did] wickedly, in that he sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his wife Jezabel led him astray.
26 Pripetilo se je ob vrnitvi leta, da je Ben Hadád preštel Sirce in odšel gor v Afék, da se bori zoper Izrael.
And he did very abominably in following after the abominations, according to all that the Amorite did, whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.
27 Izraelovi otroci so bili prešteti in so bili vsi prisotni in odšli zoper njih. Izraelovi otroci so se utaborili pred njimi kakor dva majhna tropa kozličkov, toda Sirci so napolnili deželo.
And because of the word, Achaab was pierced with sorrow before the Lord, and he both went weeping, and rent his garment, and girt sackcloth upon his body, and fasted; he put on sackcloth also in the day that he smote Nabuthai the Jezraelite, and went his way.
28 Prišel je Božji mož in spregovoril Izraelovemu kralju ter rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Ker so Sirci rekli: › Gospod je Bog hribov, toda on ni Bog dolin, zato bom vso to veliko množico izročil v tvojo roko in spoznali boste, da jaz sem Gospod.‹«
And the word of the Lord came by the hand of his servant Eliu concerning Achaab, and the Lord said,
29 Sedem dni so taborili eden nasproti drugemu. In bilo je tako, da so se na sedmi dan spoprijeli in Izraelovi otroci so v enem dnevu izmed Sircev usmrtili sto tisoč pešcev.
Hast thou seen how Achaab has been pricked [to the heart] before me? I will not bring on the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring on the evil.
30 Toda ostali so pobegnili v Afék, v mesto in tam je obzidje padlo na sedemindvajset tisoč mož, ki so ostali. Ben Hadád pa je pobegnil in prišel v mesto, v notranjo sobo.
And the son of Ader gathered all his forces, and went up and besieged Samaria, [he] and thirty-two kings with him, and all [his] horse and chariots: and they went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
31 Njegovi služabniki so mu rekli: »Glej sedaj, slišali smo, da so kralji Izraelove hiše usmiljeni kralji. Pusti nam, prosimo te, da opašemo vrečevino okoli svojih ledij in vrvi na svoje glave in pojdimo ven k Izraelovemu kralju. Morda bo rešil tvoje življenje.«
And he sent into the city to Achaab king of Israel, and said to him, Thus says the son of Ader,
32 Tako so na svoja ledja opasali vrečevino, na svoje glave položili vrvi in prišli k Izraelovemu kralju ter rekli: »Tvoj služabnik Ben Hadád govori: ›Prosim te, pusti me živega.‹« Rekel je: »Je še živ? On je moj brat.«
Thy silver and thy gold are mine, and thy wives and thy children are mine.
33 Torej možje so marljivo opazovali ali bo katerakoli stvar prišla od njega in jo hitro zgrabili ter rekli: »Tvoj brat Ben Hadád.« Potem je rekel: »Pojdite, privedite ga.« Potem je Ben Hadád prišel naravnost k njemu in dal mu je, da je prišel gor v bojni voz.
And the king of Israel answered and said, As thou hast said, my lord, O king, I am thine, and all mine [also].
34 Ben Hadád mu je rekel: »Mesta, ki jih je moj oče vzel od tvojega očeta, bom povrnil in zase si boš naredil ulice v Damasku, kakor jih je moj oče naredil v Samariji.« Potem je Aháb rekel: »S to zavezo te bom poslal proč.« Tako je z njim sklenil zavezo in ga poslal proč.
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus says the son of Ader, I sent to thee, saying, Thou shalt give me thy silver and thy gold, and thy wives and thy children.
35 Nek mož, izmed preroških sinov, je rekel svojemu bližnjemu po Gospodovi besedi: »Udari me, prosim te.« Človek pa je odklonil, da bi ga udaril.
For at this time to-morrow I will send my servants to thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants, and it shall be that all the desirable objects of their eyes on which they shall lay their hands, they shall even take [them].
36 Potem mu je rekel: »Ker nisi ubogal Gospodovega glasu, glej, te bo takoj, ko odideš od mene, ubil lev.« In takoj, ko je odšel od njega, ga je našel lev in ga usmrtil.
And the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Take notice now and consider, that this man seeks mischief: for he has sent to me concerning my wives, and concerning my sons, an concerning my daughters: I have not kept back from him my silver and my gold.
37 Potem je našel drugega moža in rekel: »Udari me, prosim te.« Mož ga je udaril, tako da ga je pri udarjanju ranil.
And the elders and all the people said to him, Hearken not, and consent not.
38 Tako je prerok odšel in ob poti čakal na kralja in se preoblekel, s pepelom na svojem obrazu.
And he said to the messengers of the son of Ader, Say to your master, All things that thou hast sent to thy servant about at first I will do; but this thing I shall not be able to do. And the men departed, and carried back the answer to him.
39 Ko je kralj šel mimo, je ta vpil h kralju in rekel: »Tvoj služabnik je odšel ven v sredo bitke in glej, mož se je obrnil vstran in mi privedel moža ter rekel: ›Varuj tega moža. Če bo na kakršenkoli način ta izginil, potem bo tvoje življenje za njegovo življenje ali pa boš plačal talent srebra.‹
And the son of Ader sent to him, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for foxes to all the people, even my infantry.
40 Medtem ko je bil tvoj služabnik zaposlen tukaj in tam, je oni odšel.« Izraelov kralj mu je rekel: »Takšna bo tvoja sodba; ti si jo odločil.«
And the king of Israel answered and said, Let it be sufficient; let not the humpbacked boast as he that is upright.
41 Pohitel je in si iz svojega obraza obrisal pepel in Izraelov kralj ga je prepoznal, da je bil izmed prerokov.
And it came to pass when he returned him this answer, he and all the kings with him were drinking in tents: and he said to his servants, Form a trench. And they made a trench against the city.
42 In ta mu je rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Ker si iz svoje roke izpustil moža, ki sem ga določil za popolno uničenje, zato bo šlo tvoje življenje za njegovo življenje in tvoje ljudstvo za njegovo ljudstvo.‹«
And, behold, a prophet came to Achaab king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the Lord, Hast thou seen this great multitude? behold, I give it this day into thine hands; and thou shalt know that I [am] the Lord.
43 Izraelov kralj je odšel k svoji hiši hud in nezadovoljen ter prišel v Samarijo.
And Achaab said, Whereby? And he said, Thus saith the Lord, by the young men of the heads of the districts. And Achaab said, Who shall begin the battle? and he said, Thou.
