2 Kralji 13

1 V triindvajsetem letu Joáša, Ahazjájevega sina, Judovega kralja, je nad Izraelom, v Samariji, začel kraljevati Jehújev sin Joaház in kraljeval je sedemnajst let.

In the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash son of Ahaziah over Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria seventeen years.

2 Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh in sledil grehom Nebátovega sina Jerobeáma, ki je Izraela pripravil, da greši; od tega se ni odvrnil.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and followed the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit; he did not turn away from them.

3 Gospodova jeza je bila vžgana zoper Izrael in vse njihove dni jih je izročil v roko sirskega kralja Hazaéla in v roko Hazaélovega sina Ben Hadáda.

So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He delivered them continually into the hands of Hazael king of Aram and his son Ben-hadad.

4 Joaház je iskal Gospoda in Gospod mu je prisluhnil, kajti videl je zatiranje Izraela, ker jih je zatiral sirski kralj.

Then Jehoahaz sought the favor of the LORD, and the LORD listened to him because He saw the oppression that the king of Aram had inflicted on Israel.

5 (In Gospod je dal Izraelu rešitelja, tako da so odšli izpod roke Sircev in Izraelovi otroci so prebivali v svojih šotorih kakor poprej.

So the LORD gave Israel a deliverer, and they escaped the power of the Arameans. Then the people of Israel lived in their own homes as they had before.

6 Vendar se niso odvrnili od grehov Jerobeámove hiše, ki je Izraela primoral grešiti, temveč so hodili v njih in ašere so ostale tudi v Samariji.

Nevertheless, they did not turn away from the sins that the house of Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit, but they continued to walk in them. The Asherah pole even remained standing in Samaria.

7 Niti ni pustil od ljudstva Joaházu [nikogar] razen petdesetih konjenikov, desetih bojnih voz in deset tisoč pešcev, kajti sirski kralj jih je uničil in jih z mlatenjem naredil podobne prahu.

Jehoahaz had no army left, except fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers, because the king of Aram had destroyed them and made them like the dust at threshing.

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

As for the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, along with all his accomplishments and his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

9 Joaház je zaspal s svojimi očeti in pokopali so ga v Samariji in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Jehoáš.

And Jehoahaz rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria. And his son Jehoash reigned in his place.

10 V sedemintridesetem letu Judovega kralja Joáša je nad Izraelom v Samariji začel kraljevati Joaházov sin Jehoáš in kraljeval je šestnajst let.

In the thirty-seventh year of the reign of Joash over Judah, Jehoash son of Jehoahaz became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned sixteen years.

11 Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh. Ni se oddvojil od vseh grehov Nebátovega sina Jerobeáma, ki je Izraela pripravil, da greši, temveč je hodil v njih.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from all the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit, but he walked in them.

12 Ostala Jehoáševa dela in vse, kar je storil in njegova moč, s katero se je boril zoper Judovega kralja Amacjája, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Izraelovih kraljev?

As for the rest of the acts of Jehoash, along with all his accomplishments and his might, including his war against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

13 Jehoáš je zaspal s svojimi očeti in Jerobeám je sédel na njegov prestol in Jehoáš je bil z Izraelovimi kralji pokopan v Samariji.

And Jehoash rested with his fathers, and Jeroboam succeeded him on the throne. Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

14 Torej Elizej je postal bolan od svoje bolezni, od katere je [tudi] umrl. Izraelov kralj Jehoáš je prišel dol k njemu, jokal nad njegovim obrazom in rekel: »Oh moj oče, moj oče, Izraelov bojni voz in njegovi konjeniki.«

When Elisha had fallen sick with the illness from which he would die, Jehoash king of Israel came down to him and wept over him, saying, “My father, my father, the chariots and horsemen of Israel!”

15 Elizej mu je rekel: »Vzemi lok in puščice.« In vzel si je lok in puščice.

Elisha told him, “Take a bow and some arrows.” So Jehoash took a bow and some arrows.

16 Izraelovemu kralju je rekel: »Svojo roko položi na lok.« Svojo roko je položil nanj in Elizej je svoje roke položil na kraljeve roke.

Then Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow.” So the king put his hand on the bow, and Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands.

17 Rekel je: »Odpri okno proti vzhodu.« Odprl ga je. Potem je Elizej rekel: »Streljaj.« In je izstrelil. Rekel je: »Puščica Gospodove osvoboditve in puščica osvoboditve od Sirije, kajti Sirce boš udaril v Aféku, dokler jih ne boš použil.«

“Open the east window,” said Elisha. So he opened it and Elisha said, “Shoot!” So he shot. And Elisha declared: “This is the LORD’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram, for you shall strike the Arameans in Aphek until you have put an end to them.”

18 Rekel je: »Vzemi puščice.« Vzel jih je. Izraelovemu kralju je rekel: »Udarjaj ob tla.« Ta je trikrat udaril in obstal.

Then Elisha said, “Take the arrows!” So he took them, and Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground!” So he struck the ground three times and stopped.

19 Božji mož je bil nad njim ogorčen in rekel: »Udariti bi moral petkrat ali šestkrat, potem bi Sirijo udarjal, dokler je ne bi použil, medtem ko boš sedaj Sirijo udaril samo trikrat.«

But the man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times. Then you would have struck down Aram until you had put an end to it. But now you will strike down Aram only three times.”

20 Elizej je umrl in so ga pokopali. In v začetku leta so v deželo vdrle čete Moábcev.

And Elisha died and was buried. Now the Moabite raiders used to come into the land every spring.

21 Pripetilo se je, ko so [nekega] moža pokopavali, glej, da so zagledali četo mož in moža odvrgli v Elizejev mavzolej. Ko je bil mož spuščen dol in se dotaknil Elizejevih kosti, je oživel in stopil na svoja stopala.

Once, as the Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders, so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb. And as soon as his body touched the bones of Elisha, the man was revived and stood up on his feet.

22 Toda sirski kralj Hazaél je vse Joaházove dni zatiral Izraela.

And Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel throughout the reign of Jehoahaz.

23 Gospod pa jim je bil milostljiv in imel sočutje do njih in spoštovanje do njih zaradi svoje zaveze z Abrahamom, Izakom in Jakobom in jih ni želel uničiti niti jih še ni vrgel izpred svoje prisotnosti.

But the LORD was gracious to Israel and had compassion on them, and He turned toward them because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And to this day, the LORD has been unwilling to destroy them or cast them from His presence.

24 Tako je sirski kralj Hazaél umrl in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Ben Hadád.

When Hazael king of Aram died, his son Ben-hadad reigned in his place.

25 Joaházov sin Jehoáš je mesta ponovno vzel iz rok Hazaélovega sina Ben Hadáda, ki jih je ta z vojno vzel iz roke njegovega očeta Joaháza. Jehoáš ga je trikrat premagal in povrnil Izraelova mesta.

Then Jehoash son of Jehoahaz took back from Ben-hadad son of Hazael the cities that Hazael had taken in battle from his father Jehoahaz. Jehoash defeated Ben-hadad three times, and so recovered the cities of Israel.
