2 Kralji 10

1 Aháb je imel v Samariji sedemdeset sinov. Jehú je napisal pisma in jih poslal v Samarijo k vladarjem Jezreéla, k starešinam in tistim, ki so vzgajali Ahábove otroke, rekoč:

And Achab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, unto the rulers of Yizre'el, the elders, and to those that brought up Achab's children, saying,

2 »Torej takoj, ko to pismo pride k vam, glede na to, da so sinovi vašega gospodarja z vami in so tam z vami bojni vozovi in konji, tudi utrjeno mesto in bojna oprema,

And now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing that there are with you your master's sons, and there are with you the chariots and the horses, and the fortified city, and the armor:

3 izberite najboljšega in najprimernejšega izmed sinov svojega gospodarja in ga postavite na prestol njegovega očeta in se borite za hišo svojega gospodarja.«

Select then the best and the most fitting of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.

4 Toda silno so se bali in rekli: »Glej, dva kralja nista obstala pred njim, kako bomo torej obstali mi?«

But they were exceedingly much afraid, and said, Behold, the two kings could not stand before him: how then shall we be able to stand?

5 In ta, ki je bil nad hišo in ta, ki je bil nad mestom, tudi starešine in vzgojitelji otrok, so poslali k Jehúju, rekoč: »Tvoji služabniki smo in storili bomo vse, kar nam boš naročil. Ne bomo postavili nobenega kralja. Stôri to, kar je dobro v tvojih očeh.«

And the superintendent over the house, and the commander over the city, and the elders, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and all that thou mayest say unto us will we do; we will not set up any one as king: do what is good in thy eyes.

6 Potem jim je drugič napisal pismo, rekoč: »Če ste moji in če boste prisluhnili mojemu glasu, vzemite glave mož sinov svojega gospodarja in do jutri ob tem času pridite k meni v Jezreél.« Torej kraljevi sinovi, ki jih je bilo sedemdeset oseb, so bili z mestnimi velikaši, ki so jih vzgajali.

Then wrote he to them a letter the second time, saying, If ye be for me, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, then take the heads of the men, your master's sons, and come to me to Yizre'el by this time tomorrow. Now the king's sons, seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.

7 Pripetilo se je, ko je pismo prišlo do njih, da so vzeli kraljeve sinove in usmrtili sedemdeset oseb in njihove glave dali v košare in mu jih poslali v Jezreél.

And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons and slaughtered them, seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Yizre'el.

8 Tja je prišel poslanec in mu povedal, rekoč: »Prinesli so glave kraljevih sinov.« Rekel je: »Do jutra jih naložite na dva kupa ob vhodu v velika vrata.«

And the messenger came, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Place ye them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.

9 Zjutraj se je pripetilo, da je odšel ven, obstal in vsemu ljudstvu rekel: » Bodite pravični. Glejte, koval sem zaroto zoper svojega gospodarja in ga usmrtil, toda kdo je usmrtil vse te?

And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye are righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him; but who hath killed all these?

10 Vedite torej, da ne bo padlo na zemljo ničesar od Gospodove besede, ki jo je Gospod govoril glede Ahábove hiše, kajti Gospod je storil to, kar je govoril po svojem služabniku Eliju.«

Know now that there shall not fall of the word of the Lord unto the earth, the least that the Lord hath spoken concerning the house of Achab; and the Lord hath done that which he spoke by means of his servant Elijah.

11 Tako je Jehú usmrtil vse, kar je od Ahábove hiše ostalo v Jezreélu, vse njegove velikaše, njegovo žlahto in njegove duhovnike, dokler mu ni preostal niti eden.

And Jehu smote all that yet remained of the house of Achab in Yizre'el, and all his great men, and his acquaintance, and his priests, until he had left him none that escaped.

12 Vstal je, odšel in prišel v Samarijo. In ko je bil pri strižni hiši ob poti,

And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria; he was just at the binding-house of the shepherds, on the way:

13 se je Jehú srečal z brati Judovega kralja Ahazjája in rekel: »Kdo ste?« Odgovorili so: »Mi smo Ahazjájevi bratje in gremo dol, da pozdravimo kraljeve otroke in otroke kraljice.«

When Jehu met with the brothers of Achazyahu the king of Judah, and he said, Who are ye? And they said, The brothers of Achazyahu are we; and we are come down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.

14 Rekel je: »Zgrabite jih žive.« Zgrabili so jih žive in jih usmrtili pri jami strižne hiše, celó dvainštirideset mož. Niti ni pustil nobenega izmed njih.

And he said, Seize them alive. And they seized them alive, and slaughtered them at the pit of the binding-house, two and forty men; and he left not one of them remaining.

15 Ko je odpotoval od tam, je naletel na Rehábovega sina Jonadába, ki je prihajal, da se sreča z njim. Pozdravil ga je in mu rekel: »Je tvoje srce iskreno, kakor je moje srce s tvojim srcem?« Jonadáb je odgovoril: »Je.« »Če je tako, mi podaj svojo roko.« Podal mu je svojo roko in vzel ga je gor k sebi na bojni voz.

And he went away thence, and met Yehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is all right in thy heart, as my heart is with thy heart? And Yehonadab answered, It is; it is: give me thy hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.

16 Rekel je: »Pridi z menoj in poglej mojo gorečnost za Gospoda.« Tako so ga primorali, da se pelje na njegovem bojnem vozu.

And he said, Come with me, and behold my zeal for the Lord. So they made him ride in his chariot.

17 Ko je prišel v Samarijo, je usmrtil vse, ki so Ahábu preostali v Samariji, dokler jih ni uničil, glede na Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je govoril Eliju.

And when he came to Samaria, he smote all that yet remained unto Achab in Samaria, till he had exterminated him, according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken to Elijah.

18 Jehú je vse ljudstvo zbral skupaj in jim rekel: »Aháb je malo služil Báalu, toda Jehú mu bo bolj služil.

And Jehu assembled all the people, and said unto them, Achab hath served Ba'al a little: Jehu will serve him much.

19 Zdaj torej pokličite k meni vse Báalove preroke, vse njegove služabnike in vse njegove duhovnike. Naj nihče ne manjka, kajti imam veliko klavno daritev, da jo opravim Báalu. Kdorkoli bo manjkal, ta ne bo živel.« Toda Jehú je to storil v premetenosti, z namenom, da bi lahko uničil Báalove oboževalce.

And now call unto me all the prophets of Ba'al, all his worshippers, and all his priests: let no one be missing; for I have a great sacrifice to make for Ba'al; whosoever will be missing, shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, in order to destroy the worshippers of Ba'al.

20 Jehú je rekel: »Razglasite slovesen zbor za Báala.« In to so razglasili.

And Jehu said, Sanctify a solemn assembly for Ba'al. And they proclaimed it.

21 Jehú je poslal po vsem Izraelu in prišli so vsi Báalovi oboževalci, tako da ni ostalo nobenega človeka, ki ne bi prišel. Prišli so v Báalovo hišo in Báalova hiša je bila polna od enega konca do drugega.

And Jehu sent throughout all Israel: and there came all the worshippers of Ba'al, so that there was not a man remaining that came not; and they came into the house of Ba'al; and the house of Ba'al was full from one end to another.

22 Tistemu, ki je bil nad oblačilnico, je rekel: »Prinesi talarje za vse Báalove oboževalce.« In prinesel jim je talarje.

And he said unto him that was over the wardrobe, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Ba'al. And he brought forth for them the vestments.

23 Jehú in Rehábov sin Jonadáb sta odšla v Báalovo hišo in Báalovim oboževalcem rekla: »Preiščite in poglejte, da ni tukaj z vami kakega Gospodovega služabnika, temveč samo Báalovi oboževalci.«

And Jehu went, with Yehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Ba'al, and he said unto the worshippers of Ba'al, Search, and look that there be not here with you any of the servants of the Lord, but the worshippers of Ba'al entirely alone.

24 Ko so vstopili, da darujejo klavne daritve in žgalne daritve, je Jehú zunaj določil osemdeset mož in rekel: » Če katerikoli izmed mož, ki sem jih privedel v vaše roke, pobegne, kdor mu pusti oditi, bo njegovo življenje za življenje od tistega.«

And they went in to prepare sacrifices and burnt-offerings; but Jehu had set for himself without eighty men, and said, [If there be] a man that escapeth from the men whom I deliver into your hands, [there shall be given] life for his life.

25 Pripetilo se je, takoj ko je končal z darovanjem žgalne daritve, da je Jehú rekel straži in poveljnikom: »Vstopite in jih pobijte; naj nihče ne pride naprej.« In udarili so jih z ostrino meča. Straža in poveljniki so jih vrgli ven in odšli v mesto Báalove hiše.

And it came to pass, as soon as they had made an end of preparing the burnt-offering, that Jehu said to the runners and to the officers, Go in, smite them: let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the runners and the captains cast them out, and went as far as the city of the house of Ba'al.

26 Iz Báalove hiše so prinesli podobe in jih sežgali.

And they brought forth the statues out of the house of Ba'al, and burnt every one of them.

27 Porušili so Báalovo podobo, zrušili Báalovo hišo in jo naredili za straniščno hišo do današnjega dne.

And they broke down the statue of Ba'al, and broke down the house of Ba'al, and made it a common sewer unto this day.

28 Tako je Jehú uničil Báala iz Izraela.

Thus Jehu exterminated Ba'al out of Israel.

29 Vendar se od grehov Nebátovega sina Jerobeáma, ki je Izraela pripravil, da greši, Jehú ni odvrnil od sledenja za njimi, namreč zlatih telet, ki sta bila v Betelu in v Danu.

Nevertheless the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from in following them, [namely, ] the golden calves that were in Beth-el, and that were in Dan.

30 Gospod je rekel Jehúju: »Ker si storil dobro v izvrševanju tega, kar je pravilno v mojih očeh in si Ahábovi hiši storil glede na vse, kar je bilo na mojem srcu, bodo tvoji otroci četrtega rodu sedeli na Izraelovem prestolu.«

And the Lord said unto Jehu, Forasmuch as thou hast acted well in doing what is right in my eyes, and hast done in accordance with all that was in my heart unto the house of Achab: children of the fourth generation after thee shall sit upon the throne of Israel.

31 Toda Jehú ni pazil, da bi se z vsem srcem ravnal po postavi Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, kajti ni se oddvojil od Jerobeámovih grehov, ki je Izraela pripravil, da greši.

But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord the God of Israel with all his heart: he departed not from the sins of Jerobo'am, who induced Israel to sin.

32 V tistih dneh je Gospod začel obsekavati Izraela in Hazaél jih je udaril po vseh Izraelovih pokrajinah;

In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short; and Chazael smote them in all the boundary of Israel;

33 od Jordana proti vzhodu, vso deželo Gileád, Gádovce, Rubenovce in Manásejce, od Aroêrja, ki je pri reki Arnón, celo Gileád in Bašán.

From the Jordan to the rising of the sun, all the land of Gil'ad, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Menassites, from 'Aro'er which is by the river Arnon, both Gil'ad and Bashan.

34 Torej preostala izmed Jehújevih dejanj in vse, kar je storil in vsa njegova moč, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Izraelovih kraljev?

Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his mighty deeds, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

35 Jehú je zaspal s svojimi očeti in pokopali so ga v Samariji. Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Joaház.

And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoachaz his son became king in his stead.

36 Časa, ko je Jehú kraljeval nad Izraelom, v Samariji, je bilo osemindvajset let.

And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.
