1 Kralji 22
1 Tri leta so nadaljevali brez vojne med Sirijo in Izraelom.
Then three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.
2 V tretjem letu pa se je pripetilo, da je Judov kralj Józafat prišel dol k Izraelovemu kralju.
However, in the third year, Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to visit the king of Israel,
3 Izraelov kralj je rekel svojim služabnikom: »Ali veste, da je Ramót v Gileádu naš, in mi bomo mirni in ga ne bomo vzeli iz roke sirskega kralja?«
who said to his servants, “Do you not know that Ramoth-gilead is ours, but we have failed to take it from the hand of the king of Aram?”
4 Józafatu je rekel: »Hočeš z menoj iti v bitko k Ramót Gileádu?« Józafat je Izraelovemu kralju rekel: »Jaz sem, kakor si ti, moje ljudstvo kakor tvoje ljudstvo, moji konji kakor tvoji konji.«
So he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight against Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat answered the king of Israel, “I am like you, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”
5 Józafat je Izraelovemu kralju rekel: »Prosim te, danes poizvedi pri besedi od Gospoda.«
But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of the LORD.”
6 Potem je Izraelov kralj zbral skupaj preroke, okoli štiristo mož in jim rekel: »Ali naj grem zoper Ramót Gileád v bitko ali naj to opustim?« Rekli so: »Pojdi gor, kajti Gospod ga bo izročil v kraljevo roko.«
So the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and asked them, “Should I go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should I refrain?” “Go up,” they replied, “and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
7 Józafat je rekel: » Ali tukaj ni več Gospodovega preroka, da bi lahko poizvedeli od njega?«
But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here of whom we can inquire?”
8 Izraelov kralj je rekel Józafatu: » Tukaj je še en mož, Jimlájev sin Miha, po katerem bi lahko poizvedeli od Gospoda. Toda sovražim ga, kajti glede mene ni dobro prerokoval, temveč zlo.« Józafat je rekel: »Naj kralj ne govori tako.«
The king of Israel answered, “There is still one man who can ask the LORD, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me, but only bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.” “The king should not say that!” Jehoshaphat replied.
9 Potem je Izraelov kralj poklical častnika in rekel: »Podvizaj sem Jimlájevega sina Miha.«
So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.”
10 Izraelov kralj in Judov kralj Józafat sta sedela vsak na svojem prestolu, oblečena sta imela svoja svečana oblačila, na odprtem prostoru, pri vhodu velikih vrat Samarije in vsi preroki so prerokovali pred njima.
Dressed in royal attire, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.
11 Cidkijá, Kenaanájev sin, si je naredil rogove iz železa in rekel: »Tako govori Gospod. ›S temi boš bodel Sirce, dokler jih ne boš použil.‹«
Now Zedekiah son of Chenaanah had made for himself iron horns and declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘With these you shall gore the Arameans until they are finished off.’”
12 Vsi preroki so prerokovali tako, rekoč: »Pojdi gor k Ramót Gileádu in bodi uspešen, kajti Gospod ga bo izročil v kraljevo roko.«
And all the prophets were prophesying the same, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-gilead and prosper, for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
13 Poslanec, ki je odšel, da pokliče Miha, mu je spregovoril, rekoč: »Glej torej, besede prerokov kralju soglasno razglašajo dobro. Naj bo tvoja beseda, prosim te, kakor beseda enega izmed njih in govori to, kar je dobro.«
Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah instructed him, “Behold now, with one accord the words of the prophets are favorable to the king. So please let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably.”
14 Miha pa je rekel: » Kakor živi Gospod, kar mi Gospod reče, to bom govoril.«
But Micaiah said, “As surely as the LORD lives, I will speak whatever the LORD tells me.”
15 Tako je prišel h kralju in kralj mu je rekel: »Miha ali naj gremo zoper Ramót Gileád, da se bojujemo ali naj opustimo?« Ta mu je odgovoril: »Pojdi in bodi uspešen, kajti Gospod ga bo izročil v kraljevo roko.«
When Micaiah arrived, the king asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we refrain?” “Go up and triumph,” Micaiah replied, “for the LORD will give it into the hand of the king.”
16 Kralj pa mu je rekel: »Kolikokrat te bom zaklinjal, da mi ne poveš ničesar razen tega, kar je resnično v Gospodovem imenu?«
But the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear not to tell me anything but the truth in the name of the LORD?”
17 In ta je rekel: »Videl sem vsega Izraela razkropljenega na hribih kakor ovce, ki nimajo pastirja. Gospod je rekel: ›Ti nimajo gospodarja. Naj se v miru vrnejo, vsak mož k svoji hiši.‹«
So Micaiah declared: “I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd. And the LORD said, ‘These people have no master; let each one return home in peace.’”
18 Izraelov kralj je rekel Józafatu: »Ali ti nisem rekel, da glede mene ne bo prerokoval nobene dobre stvari, temveč zlo?«
Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he never prophesies good for me, but only bad?”
19 Rekel je: »Poslušaj torej Gospodovo besedo: ›Videl sem Gospoda sedeti na njegovem prestolu in vso nebeško vojsko stati pri njem, na njegovi desnici in na njegovi levici.‹
Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left.
20 Gospod je rekel: ›Kdo bo pregovoril Ahába, da bo lahko šel gor in padel pri Ramót Gileádu?‹ Nekdo je rekel na ta način, drugi pa na drug način.
And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab to march up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one suggested this, and another that.
21 Tam pa je prišel naprej duh in obstal pred Gospodom ter rekel: ›Jaz ga bom prepričal.‹
Then a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the LORD.
22 Gospod mu je rekel: ›S čim?‹ Rekel je: ›Šel bom naprej in bom lažniv duh v ustih vseh njegovih prerokov.‹ Rekel je: ›Ti ga boš prepričal in tudi prevladal. Pojdi naprej in stori tako.‹
And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ ‘You will surely entice him and prevail,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’
23 Zdaj torej glej, Gospod je položil lažnivega duha v usta vseh teh tvojih prerokov in Gospod je glede tebe govoril zlo.«
So you see, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours, and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you.”
24 Toda Kenaanájev sin Cidkijá je prišel bliže in Miha udaril po licu ter rekel: »Katero pot je Gospodov Duh odšel od mene, da govori tebi?«
Then Zedekiah son of Chenaanah went up, struck Micaiah in the face, and demanded, “Which way did the Spirit of the LORD go when He departed from me to speak with you?”
25 Miha je rekel: »Glej, videl boš tisti dan, ko boš šel v najnotranjejšo sobo, da se skriješ.«
Micaiah replied, “You will soon see, on that day when you go and hide in an inner room.”
26 Izraelov kralj je rekel: »Vzemi Miha in ga odvedi nazaj k Amónu, voditelju mesta in h kraljevemu sinu Joášu
And the king of Israel declared, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son,
27 ter reci: ›Tako govori kralj: ›Postavita tegale v ječo in ga hranita s kruhom stiske in z vodo stiske, dokler ne pridem v miru.‹«
and tell them that this is what the king says: ‘Put this man in prison and feed him only bread and water until I return safely.’”
28 Miha je rekel: »Če se sploh vrneš v miru, Gospod ni govoril po meni.« In rekel je: »Prisluhni, oh ljudstvo, vsakdo izmed vas.«
But Micaiah replied, “If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Take heed, all you people!”
29 Tako sta Izraelov kralj in Judov kralj Józafat odšla gor k Ramót Gileádu.
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
30 Izraelov kralj je rekel Józafatu: »Jaz se bom zamaskiral in vstopil v bitko, toda ti si nadeni svoja svečana oblačila.« Izraelov kralj se je zamaskiral in odšel v bitko.«
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.
31 Toda sirski kralj je zapovedal svojim dvaintridesetim poveljnikom, ki so poveljevali nad njegovimi bojnimi vozovi, rekoč: »Ne borite se niti z majhnim niti z velikim, razen samo z Izraelovim kraljem.«
Now the king of Aram had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders, “Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.”
32 Pripetilo se je, ko so poveljniki bojnih vozov zagledali Józafata, da so rekli: »To je zagotovo Izraelov kralj.« Obrnili so se vstran, da se bojujejo zoper njega. Józafat pa je zavpil.
When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely this is the king of Israel!” So they turned to fight against him, but Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 Pripetilo se je, ko so poveljniki bojnih vozov zaznali, da to ni bil Izraelov kralj, da so se obrnili od zasledovanja za njim.
And when the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
34 Nek mož pa je preprosto napel lok in Izraelovega kralja zadel med člene prsnega oklepa. Zato je vozniku svojega bojnega voza rekel: »Obrni svojo roko in me odvedi ven iz bojišča, kajti ranjen sem.«
However, a certain man drew his bow without taking special aim, and he struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So the king said to his charioteer, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded!”
35 Bitka je ta dan narasla in kralj je ostal pokonci na svojem bojnem vozu zoper Sirce in zvečer umrl. Kri iz rane je tekla na sredo bojnega voza.
The battle raged throughout that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. And the blood from his wound ran out onto the floor of the chariot, and that evening he died.
36 Okoli sončnega zahoda je po vsej vojski šel razglas, rekoč: »Vsak mož k svojemu mestu in vsak mož k svoji lastni deželi.«
As the sun was setting, the cry rang out in the army: “Every man to his own city, and every man to his own land!”
37 Tako je kralj umrl in bil priveden v Samarijo in kralja so pokopali v Samariji.
So the king died and was brought to Samaria, where they buried him.
38 V samarijskem ribniku je nekdo umival bojni voz in psi so lizali njegovo kri in umili so njegovo bojno opremo, glede na Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je govoril.
And the chariot was washed at the pool of Samaria where the prostitutes bathed, and the dogs licked up Ahab’s blood, according to the word that the LORD had spoken.
39 Torej preostala izmed Ahábovih dejanj in vse, kar je storil in slonokoščena hiša, ki jo je naredil in vsa mesta, ki jih je zgradil, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Izraelovih kraljev?
As for the rest of the acts of Ahab, along with all his accomplishments and the ivory palace and all the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
40 Tako je Aháb zaspal s svojimi očeti in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Ahazjá.
And Ahab rested with his fathers, and his son Ahaziah reigned in his place.
41 V četrtem letu Izraelovega kralja Ahába je nad Judom začel kraljevati Asájev sin Józafat.
In the fourth year of Ahab’s reign over Israel, Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah.
42 Józafat je bil star petintrideset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval petindvajset let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Azúba, Šilhíjeva hči.
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
43 Hodil je po vseh poteh svojega očeta Asája. Ni se obrnil vstran od tega; delal je to, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh. Kljub temu visoki kraji niso bili odstranjeni, kajti ljudstvo je na visokih krajih še vedno darovalo in zažigalo kadilo.
And Jehoshaphat walked in all the ways of his father Asa; he did not turn away from them, but did what was right in the eyes of the LORD. The high places, however, were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
44 Józafat je z Izraelovim kraljem sklenil mir.
Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
45 Torej preostala izmed Józafatovih dejanj in njegova moč, ki jo je pokazal in kako se je bojeval, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Judovih kraljev?
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, along with the might he exercised and how he waged war, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
46 Preostanek posvečenih vlačugarjev, ki so preostali v dneh njegovega očeta Asája, je izgnal iz dežele.
He banished from the land the male shrine prostitutes who remained from the days of his father Asa.
47 Potem ni bilo kralja v Edómu. Namestnik je bil kralj.
And there was no king in Edom; a deputy served as king.
48 Józafat je naredil taršíške ladje, da gredo do Ofírja po zlato. Toda niso odšli, kajti ladje so se razbile pri Ecjón Geberju.
Jehoshaphat built ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they never set sail, because they were wrecked at Ezion-geber.
49 Potem je Ahábov sin Ahazjá Józafatu rekel: »Naj moji služabniki gredo s tvojimi služabniki na ladje.« Józafat pa ni hotel.
At that time Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants sail with your servants,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
50 Józafat je zaspal s svojimi očeti in je bil pokopan s svojimi očeti v mestu svojega očeta Davida. Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Jehorám.
And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David. And his son Jehoram reigned in his place.
51 Ahábov sin Ahazjá je začel kraljevati nad Izraelom v Samariji v sedemnajstem letu Judovega kralja Józafata in nad Izraelom je kraljeval dve leti.
In the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Ahaziah son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria two years.
52 Počel je zlo v Gospodovih očeh in hodil po poti svojega očeta, po poti svoje matere in po poti Nebátovega sina Jerobeáma, ki je Izraela pripravil, da greši,
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the ways of his father and mother and of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin.
53 kajti služil je Báalu, ga oboževal in do jeze dražil Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, glede na vse, kar je počel njegov oče.
Ahaziah served and worshiped Baal, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger, just as his father had done.
