1 Kralji 21

1 Po teh stvareh se je pripetilo, da je imel Jezreélec Nabót vinograd, ki je bil v Jezreélu, čisto pri palači samarijskega kralja Ahába.

And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

2 Aháb je spregovoril Nabótu, rekoč: »Daj mi svoj vinograd, da ga bom lahko imel za zeliščni vrt, ker je ta čisto pri moji hiši, jaz pa ti bom zanj dal boljši vinograd, kakor je ta. Ali pa, če se ti zdi dobro, ti bom dal njegovo vrednost v denarju.«

And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it: or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.

3 Nabót je rekel Ahábu: » Gospod me obvaruj, da bi ti dal dediščino svojih očetov.«

And Naboth said to Ahab, Jehovah forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.

4 Aháb je prišel v svojo hišo zlovoljen in jezen, zaradi besede, ki mu jo je govoril Jezreélec Nabót, kajti rekel je: »Ne bom ti dal dediščine svojih očetov.« Ulegel se je na svojo posteljo in svoj obraz obrnil stran in ni hotel jesti kruha.

And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

5 Toda njegova žena Jezabela je prišla k njemu in mu rekla: »Zakaj je tvoj duh tako žalosten, da ne ješ kruha?«

But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?

6 Rekel ji je: »Ker sem govoril Jezreélcu Nabótu in mu rekel: ›Daj mi svoj vinograd za denar. Ali, če ti ugaja, ti bom zanj dal drug vinograd. Pa je odgovoril: ›Ne bom ti dal svojega vinograda.‹«

And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee [another] vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.

7 Njegova žena Jezabela mu je rekla: »Mar ne vladaš sedaj ti Izraelovemu kraljestvu? Vstani in jej kruh in naj bo tvoje srce veselo. Jaz ti bom dala vinograd Jezreélca Nabóta.«

And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thy heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.

8 Tako je v Ahábovem imenu napisala pisma in jih zapečatila z njegovim pečatom in pisma poslala k starešinam in k plemičem, ki so bili v njenem mestu in prebivali z Nabótom.

So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, [and] that dwelt with Naboth.

9 V pismih je napisala, rekoč: »Razglasite post in Nabóta postavite visoko med ljudstvo.

And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:

10 Predenj postavite dva moža, Beliálova sinova, da pričujeta zoper njega, rekoč: ›Preklinjal si Boga in kralja.‹ Potem ga odvedite ven in ga kamnajte, da bo lahko umrl.«

and set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst curse God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him to death.

11 Ljudje iz njegovega mesta, torej starešine in plemiči, ki so bili prebivalci v njegovem mestu, so storili, kakor jim je poslala Jezabela in kakor je bilo to zapisano v pismih, ki jih je poslala k njim.

And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.

12 Razglasili so post in Nabóta postavili na visoko med ljudstvom.

They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

13 Vstopila sta dva moža, Beliálova otroka in se usedla pred njim. Beliálova moža sta v prisotnosti ljudstva pričevala zoper njega, torej zoper Nabóta, rekoč: »Nabót je preklinjal Boga in kralja.« Potem so ga odvedli ven iz mesta in kamnali s kamni, da je ta umrl.

And the two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him: and the base fellows bare witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did curse God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.

14 Potem so poslali k Jezabeli, rekoč: »Nabót je kamnan in je mrtev.«

Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.

15 Pripetilo se je, ko je Jezabela slišala, da je bil Nabót kamnan in je bil mrtev, da je Jezabela rekla Ahábu: »Vstani, vzemi posest vinograda Jezreélca Nabóta, ki ti jo je odklonil dati za denar, kajti Nabót ni živ, temveč mrtev.«

And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.

16 Ko je Aháb slišal, da je bil Nabót mrtev, se je pripetilo, da je Aháb vstal, da gre dol v vinograd Jezreélca Nabóta, da ga vzame v last.

And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

17 Gospodova beseda je prišla Tišbéjcu Eliju, rekoč:

And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

18 »Vstani, pojdi dol, da srečaš Izraelovega kralja Ahába, ki je v Samariji. Glej, on je v Nabótovem vinogradu, kamor je odšel dol, da ga vzame v last.

Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwelleth in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it.

19 Spregovoril mu boš, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Ali si ubil in tudi vzel v last?‹ Spregovoril mu boš, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Na kraju, kjer so psi lizali Nabótovo kri, bodo psi lizali tvojo kri, celo tvojo.‹«

And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.

20 Aháb je rekel Eliju: »Ali si me našel, oh moj sovražnik?« Ta je odgovoril: »Našel sem te, ker si se prodal, da počneš zlo v Gospodovih očeh.

And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee, because thou hast sold thyself to do that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah.

21 Glej, nadte bom privedel zlo in ti odvedel tvoje potomstvo in od Ahába bom iztrebil karkoli, kar lula proti zidu in tistega, ki je zaprt in je ostal v Izraelu,

Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away and will cut off from Ahab every man-child, and him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel:

22 in tvojo hišo bom naredil podobno hiši Nebátovega sina Jerobeáma in podobno hiši Ahíjevega sina Bašája, zaradi izzivanja, s katerim ste me dražili do jeze in Izraela pripravili, da greši.«

and I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and hast made Israel to sin.

23 Gospod je spregovoril tudi o Jezabeli, rekoč: »Psi bodo žrli Jezabelo pri jezreélskem zidu.

And of Jezebel also spake Jehovah, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.

24 Kdor od Ahába umre v mestu, ga bodo žrli psi. Tistega, ki umre na polju, pa bo žrla perjad neba.

Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat.

25 Toda nikogar ni bilo podobnega Ahábu, ki bi se prodal, da počne zlobnost v Gospodovih očeh, katerega je razvnela njegova žena Jezabela.

(But there was none like unto Ahab, who did sell himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

26 Zelo gnusno je počel v sledenju malikom, glede na vse stvari, kakor so storili Amoréjci, ki jih je Gospod pregnal pred Izraelovimi otroki.«

And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Jehovah cast out before the children of Israel.)

27 Ko je Aháb slišal te besede, se je pripetilo, da je pretrgal svoja oblačila in si na svoje meso nadel vrečevino, se postil, ležal v vrečevini in tiho hodil.

And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

28 Gospodova beseda je prišla k Tišbéjcu Eliju, rekoč:

And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

29 »Ali vidiš, kako se je Aháb ponižal pred menoj? Ker se ponižuje pred menoj, zla ne bom privedel v njegovih dneh, temveč bom v dneh njegovega sina nad njegovo hišo privedel zlo.«

Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son’s day will I bring the evil upon his house.
