2 Kralji 1
1 Potem se je, po Ahábovi smrti, Moáb uprl zoper Izraela.
Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2 Ahazjá je padel dol skozi mrežo v svoji gornji sobi, ki je bila v Samariji in je bil bolan. Poslal je poslance in jim rekel: »Pojdite, poizvedite od Báal Zebúba, boga v Ekrónu, ali si bom opomogel od te bolezni.«
Then Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber in Samaria, and was injured. So he sent for messengers and said to them, “Go, ask Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this injury.”
3 Toda Gospodov angel je rekel Tišbéjcu Eliju: »Vstani, pojdi gor, da srečaš poslance samarijskega kralja in jim reci: › Mar ni zato, ker ni Boga v Izraelu, da greste povpraševat ekrónskega boga Báal Zebúba?‹
But the angel of Yahweh said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and ask them, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to consult with Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?
4 Zdaj torej tako govori Gospod: ›Ne boš prišel dol iz svoje postelje, na katero si zlezel, temveč boš zagotovo umrl.‹« In Elija je odšel.
Therefore Yahweh says, “You will not come down from the bed to where you have gone up; instead, you will certainly die.”'” Then Elijah left.
5 Ko so se poslanci obrnili nazaj k njemu, jim je rekel: »Zakaj ste se torej obrnili nazaj?«
When the messengers returned to Ahaziah, he said to them, “Why have you returned?”
6 Rekli so mu: »Vzdignil se je mož, da nas sreča in nam rekel: ›Pojdite, ponovno se obrnite h kralju, ki vas je poslal in mu recite: ›Tako govori Gospod: › Mar ni zato, ker ni Boga v Izraelu, da pošiljaš povpraševat ekrónskega boga Báal Zebúba?‹ Zato ne boš prišel dol iz svoje postelje, na katero si zlezel, temveč boš zagotovo umrl.‹«
They said to him, “A man came to meet us who said to us, 'Go back to the king who sent you, and say to him, “Yahweh says this: 'Is it because there is no God in Israel that you sent men to consult with Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not come down from the bed to which you have gone up; instead, you will certainly die.'”'”
7 Rekel jim je: »Kakšne vrste mož je bil ta, ki se je vzdignil, da vas sreča in vam je povedal te besede?«
Ahaziah said to his messengers, “What sort of man was he, the one who came up to meet you and said these words to you?”
8 Odgovorili so mu: » Bil je kosmat človek in z usnjenim pasom opasan okoli ledij.« Rekel je: »To je Tišbéjec Elija.«
They answered him, “He wore a garment made of hair and had a leather belt wrapped around his waist.” So the king replied, “That is Elijah the Tishbite.”
9 Potem je kralj poslal k njemu petdesetnika z njegovimi petdesetimi. Ta je odšel gor k njemu, in glej, sedel je na vrhu hriba. Nagovoril ga je: »Božji mož, kralj je rekel: ›Pridi dol.‹«
Then the king sent a captain with fifty soldiers to Elijah. The captain went up to Elijah where he was sitting on the top of a hill. The captain spoke to him, “You, man of God, the king has said, 'Come down.'”
10 Elija je odgovoril in petdesetniku rekel: »Če sem Božji mož, potem naj dol z neba pride ogenj in použije tebe in tvojih petdeset.« Dol z neba je prišel ogenj in použil njega in njegovih petdeset.
Elijah answered and said to the captain, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” Then fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.
11 Ponovno je k njemu poslal drugega petdesetnika z njegovimi petdesetimi. Ta je odgovoril in mu rekel: »Oh Božji mož, tako je rekel kralj: ›Pridi hitro dol.‹«
Again King Ahaziah sent to Elijah another captain with fifty soldiers. This captain also said to Elijah, “You, man of God, the king says, 'Come down quickly.'”
12 Elija je odgovoril in jim rekel: »Če sem Božji mož, naj dol z neba pride ogenj in použije tebe in tvojih petdeset.« In ogenj od Boga je prišel z neba in použil njega in njegovih petdeset.
Elijah answered and said to them, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” Again the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.
13 Ponovno je poslal tretjega petdesetnika z njegovimi petdesetimi. Tretji petdesetnik je odšel gor, prišel in pred Elijem padel na kolena, ga rotil in mu rekel: »Oh Božji mož, prosim te, naj bodo moje življenje in življenja teh petdesetih tvojih služabnikov dragocena v tvojih očeh.
Yet again the king sent a third group of fifty warriors. This captain went up, fell on his knees before Elijah, and implored him and said to him, “You, man of God, I ask you, let my life and the life of these fifty servants of yours be precious in your sight.
14 Glej, prišel je ogenj dol z neba in sežgal dva poveljnika prejšnjih petdesetih z njunimi petdesetimi. Zatorej naj bo moje življenje sedaj dragoceno v tvojih očeh.«
Indeed, fire came down from heaven and consumed the first two captains with their men, but now let my life be precious in your sight.”
15 Gospodov angel je rekel Eliju: »Z njim pojdi dol. Ne boj se ga.« In vstal je in z njim odšel dol h kralju.
The angel of Yahweh said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah arose and went down with him to the king.
16 Rekel mu je: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Ker kakor si poslal poslance, da poizvejo od ekrónskega boga Báal Zebúba, mar ni to zato, ker ni Boga v Izraelu, da bi povprašal po njegovi besedi? Zato ne boš prišel dol iz postelje, na katero si zlezel, temveč boš zagotovo umrl.‹«
Later Elijah said to Ahaziah, “This is what Yahweh says, 'You have sent messengers to consult with Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron. Is it because there is no God in Israel from whom you can ask for information? So now, you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up; you will certainly die.'”
17 Tako je umrl glede na Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je Elija govoril. Namesto njega je zakraljeval Jehorám, v drugem letu Józafatovega sina Jehoráma, Judovega kralja, ker ni imel sina.
So King Ahaziah died according to the word of Yahweh that Elijah had spoken. Joram began to reign in his place, in the second year of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, because Ahaziah had no son.
18 Torej preostala izmed Ahazjájevih dejanj, ki jih je storil, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Izraelovih kraljev?
As for the other matters concerning Ahaziah, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
