2 Kroniška 18

1 Torej Józafat je imel bogastev in časti v obilju in sklenil svaštvo z Ahábom.

And Jehoshaphat has riches and honor in abundance, and joins affinity to Ahab,

2 Po nekaj letih je odšel dol k Ahábu v Samarijo. Aháb je zanj in za ljudstvo, ki ga je imel s seboj, v obilju zaklal ovce in vole in pregovoril ga je, da gre z njim gor v Ramót Gileád.

and goes down at the end of [certain] years to Samaria to [visit] Ahab, and Ahab sacrifices sheep and oxen in abundance for him and for the people who [are] with him, and persuades him to go up to Ramoth-Gilead.

3 Izraelov kralj Aháb je rekel Judovemu kralju Józafatu: »Hočeš iti z menoj v Ramót Gileád?« Ta mu je odgovoril: »Jaz sem, kakor si ti in moje ljudstvo kakor tvoje ljudstvo, in mi bomo s teboj v vojni.«

And Ahab king of Israel says to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Do you go with me [to] Ramoth-Gilead?” And he says to him, “As I—so you, and as your people—my people, and [we go] with you into the battle.”

4 Józafat je Izraelovemu kralju rekel: »Poizvedi, prosim te, danes pri Gospodovi besedi.«

And Jehoshaphat says to the king of Israel, “Please seek the word of YHWH this day.”

5 Zato je Izraelov kralj izmed prerokov skupaj zbral štiristo mož in jim rekel: »Ali naj gremo v Ramót Gileád, da se bojujemo ali naj [to] opustim?« Rekli so: »Pojdi gor, kajti Bog ga bo izročil v kraljevo roko.«

And the king of Israel gathers the prophets, four hundred men, and says to them, “Do we go to Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or do I refrain?” And they say, “Go up, and God gives [it] into the hand of the king.”

6 Toda Józafat je rekel: » Ali tukaj poleg ni Gospodovega preroka, da bi lahko poizvedeli od njega?

And Jehoshaphat says, “[Is there] not still a prophet of YHWH here, and we seek from him?”

7 Izraelov kralj je Józafatu rekel: » Je še en mož, pri katerem bi lahko povprašali Gospoda, toda jaz ga sovražim, kajti nikoli mi ne prerokuje dobro, temveč vedno hudo. Ta isti je Jimlájev sin Miha.« Józafat je rekel: »Naj kralj ne govori tako.«

And the king of Israel says to Jehoshaphat, “[There is] still one man to seek YHWH from him, and I have hated him, for he is not prophesying of good concerning me, but of evil [for] all his days, he [is] Micaiah son of Imlah”; and Jehoshaphat says, “Do not let the king say so.”

8 Izraelov kralj je dal poklicati enega izmed svojih častnikov in rekel: »Pojdi hitro po Jimlájevega sina Miha.«

And the king of Israel calls to a certain officer and says, “Hurry Micaiah son of Imlah.”

9 Izraelov kralj in Judov kralj Józafat sta sedela, vsak izmed njiju na svojem prestolu, oblečena v njuna svečana oblačila in sedela na odprtem kraju pri vhodu velikih vrat Samarije, vsi preroki pa so prerokovali pred njima.

And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah are sitting, each on his throne, clothed with garments, and they are sitting in a threshing-floor at the opening of the Gate of Samaria, and all the prophets are prophesying before them.

10 Kenaanájev sin Cidkijá si je naredil rogove iz železa in rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›S temi boš porinil Sirijo, dokler ne bodo použiti.

And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah makes horns of iron for himself and says, “Thus said YHWH:

11 Vsi preroki so prerokovali tako, rekoč: »Pojdi gor v Ramót Gileád in uspevaj, kajti Gospod ga bo izročil v kraljevo roko.«

With these you push Aram until you have consumed them.” And all the prophets are prophesying so, saying, “Go up [to] Ramath-Gilead and prosper, and YHWH has given [it] into the hand of the king.”

12 Poslanec, ki je odšel, da pokliče Miha, mu je spregovoril, rekoč: »Glej, besede prerokov soglasno kralju razglašajo dobro. Naj bo torej tvoja beseda, prosim te, kakor ena izmed njihovih in govori dobro.«

And the messenger who has gone to call for Micaiah has spoken to him, saying, “Behold, the words of the prophets [as] one mouth [are] good toward the king, and please let your word be like one of theirs: and you have spoken good.”

13 Miha je rekel: » Kakor živi Gospod, kar reče moj Bog, to bom govoril.«

And Micaiah says “YHWH lives, surely that which my God says, I speak it.”

14 Ko je prišel h kralju, mu je kralj rekel: »Miha, ali naj gremo gor v Ramót Gileád, da se bojujemo ali naj [to] opustim?« Ta je rekel: »Pojdite gor in uspevajte in izročeni bodo v vašo roko.«

And he comes to the king, and the king says to him, “Micaiah, do we go to Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or do I refrain?” And he says, “Go up, and prosper, and they are given into your hand.”

15 Kralj mu je rekel: »Kolikokrat te bom zaklinjal, da mi ne poveš ničesar, razen resnice, v Gospodovem imenu?«

And the king says to him, “How many times am I adjuring you that you speak to me only truth in the Name of YHWH?”

16 Potem je rekel: »Videl sem vsega Izraela razkropljenega po gorah kakor ovce, ki nimajo pastirja in Gospod je rekel: ›Ti nimajo gospodarja, naj se torej vrnejo v miru, vsak mož k svoji hiši.‹«

And he says, “I have seen all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd, and YHWH says, There are no masters for these, they each return to his house in peace.”

17 Izraelov kralj je Józafatu rekel: »Ali ti nisem rekel, da mi ne bo prerokoval dobro, temveč zlo?«

And the king of Israel says to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not say to you [that] he does not prophesy good concerning me, but rather of evil?”

18 Ponovno je rekel: »Zato poslušajte besedo od Gospoda: ›Videl sem Gospoda sedeti na svojem prestolu in vso nebeško vojsko stati na njegovi desni roki in na njegovi levi.‹

And [Micaiah] says, “Therefore, hear a word of YHWH: I have seen YHWH sitting on His throne, and all the host of the heavens standing on His right and His left;

19 Gospod je rekel: ›Kdo bo premamil Izraelovega kralj Ahába, da gre lahko gor in pade pri Ramót Gileádu?‹ Eden je odgovoril na ta način, drugi je odgovoril na ta način.

and YHWH says, Who entices Ahab king of Israel, and he goes up and falls in Ramoth-Gilead? And this speaker says thus, and that speaker thus.

20 Tedaj je šel naprej duh in obstal pred Gospodom ter rekel: ›Jaz ga bom premamil.‹ Gospod mu je rekel: ›S čim?‹

And the spirit goes out, and stands before YHWH, and says, I entice him; and YHWH says to him, With what?

21 Rekel je: ›Šel bom ven in bom lažniv duh v ustih vseh njegovih prerokov.‹ In Gospod je rekel: ›Ti ga boš premamil in ti ga boš tudi pregovoril. Pojdi ven in stôri tako.‹

And he says, I go out, and have become a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets. And He says, You entice, and also, you are able; go out and do so.

22 Zdaj torej glejte, Gospod je položil lažnivega duha v usta teh tvojih prerokov in Gospod je zoper tebe govoril zlo.«

And now, behold, YHWH has put a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and YHWH has spoken calamity concerning you.”

23 Potem je Kenaanájev sin Cidkijá prišel bliže in udaril Miha po licu ter rekel: »Katero pot je odšel Gospodov duh od mene, da govori tebi?«

And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah comes near and strikes Micaiah on the cheek, and says, “Where [is] this—the way the spirit [from] YHWH passed over from me to speak with you?”

24 Miha je rekel: »Glej, videl boš ta dan, ko boš šel v notranjo sobo, da se skriješ.«

And Micaiah says, “Behold, you see in that day that you enter into the innermost chamber to be hidden.”

25 Potem je Izraelov kralj rekel: »Vzemite Miha in ga odvedite nazaj k Amónu, voditelju mesta in h kraljevemu sinu Joášu

And the king of Israel says, “Take Micaiah, and turn him back to Amon head of the city, and to Joash son of the king,

26 ter recite: ›Tako govori kralj: ›Tega pajdaša postavita v ječo in ga hranita s kruhom stiske in z vodo stiske, dokler se ne vrnem v miru.‹«

and you have said, Thus said the king: Put this [one] in the house of restraint, and cause him to eat bread of oppression, and water of oppression, until my return in peace.”

27 Miha je rekel: »Če se zagotovo vrneš v miru, potem po meni ni govoril Gospod.« Rekel je [še]: »Prisluhnite vsa ve ljudstva.«

And Micaiah says, “If you certainly return in peace, YHWH has not spoken by me”; and he says, “Hear, O peoples, all of them!”

28 Tako sta Izraelov kralj in Judov kralj Józafat odšla gor do Ramót Gileáda.

And the king of Israel goes up—and Jehoshaphat king of Judah—to Ramoth-Gilead;

29 Izraelov kralj je Józafatu rekel: »Preoblekel se bom in šel v bitko, toda ti si nadeni svoja svečana oblačila.« Tako se je Izraelov kralj preoblekel in odšla sta na bitko.

and the king of Israel says to Jehoshaphat to disguise himself, and to go into battle, “And you, put on your garments.” And the king of Israel disguises himself, and they go into battle.

30 Torej sirski kralj je zapovedal poveljnikom bojnih vozov, ki so bili z njim, rekoč: »Ne borite se z malim ali velikim, razen samo z Izraelovim kraljem.«

And the king of Aram has commanded the heads of the charioteers whom he has, saying, “You do not fight with small or with great, except with the king of Israel by himself.”

31 Pripetilo se je, ko so poveljniki bojnih vozov zagledali Józafata, da so rekli: »Ta je Izraelov kralj.« Zato so ga obdali, da se bojujejo, toda Józafat je zavpil in Gospod mu je pomagal in Bog jih je spodbodel, da odidejo od njega.

And it comes to pass at the heads of the charioteers seeing Jehoshaphat, that they have said, “He is the king of Israel,” and they turn around against him to fight, and Jehoshaphat cries out, and YHWH has helped him, and God entices them from him;

32 Kajti pripetilo se je, da ko so poveljniki bojnih vozov zaznali, da to ni bil Izraelov kralj, so se ponovno obrnili nazaj od zasledovanja [za] njim.

indeed, it comes to pass, at the heads of the charioteers seeing that it has not been the king of Israel—they turn back from after him.

33 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, da me lahko odvedeš iz vojske, kajti ranjen sem.«

And a man has drawn with a bow in his simplicity, and strikes the king of Israel between the joinings and the coat of mail, and he says to the charioteer, “Turn your hand, and you have brought me out of the camp, for I have become [gravely] sick.”

34 Bitka je ta dan narasla, vendar je Izraelov kralj sam stal pokonci na svojem bojnem vozu zoper Sirce do večera, okoli časa zahajanja sonca pa je umrl.

And the battle increases on that day, and the king of Israel has been propped up in the chariot in front of Aram until the evening, and he dies at the time of the going in of the sun.
