2 Kralji 4

1 Torej tam je neka ženska, izmed žena preroških sinov, zaklicala k Elizeju, rekoč: »Tvoj služabnik, moj soprog, je mrtev, in ti veš, da se je tvoj služabnik bal Gospoda in prišel je upnik, da bi si moja dva sinova k sebi vzel za sužnja.«

Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant, my husband, is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And now his creditor is coming to take my two children as his slaves!”

2 Elizej ji je rekel: »Kaj naj storim zate? Povej mi, kaj imaš v hiši?« Rekla je: »Tvoja pomočnica nima v hiši ničesar razen lonca olja.«

“How can I help you?” asked Elisha. “Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She answered, “Your servant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”

3 Potem je rekel: »Pojdi, izposodi si posode od vseh svojih sosed, prazne posode. Ne izposodi si jih malo.

“Go,” said Elisha, “borrow jars, even empty ones, from all your neighbors. Do not gather just a few.

4 Ko vstopiš noter, boš za seboj in za svojima sinovoma zaprla vrata in izlivala v vse tiste posode in tisto, ki je polna, boš postavila na stran.«

Then go inside, shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour oil into all these jars, setting the full ones aside.”

5 Tako je odšla od njega in za seboj in za svojima sinovoma, ki sta k njej prinesla posode, zaprla vrata in ona je izlivala.

So she left him, and after she had shut the door behind her and her sons, they kept bringing jars to her, and she kept pouring.

6 Pripetilo se je, ko so bile posode polne, da je svojemu sinu rekla: »Še mi prinesi posodo.« Rekel ji je: »Nobene posode ni več.« In olje se je ustavilo.

When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another.” But he replied, “There are no more jars.” Then the oil stopped flowing.

7 Potem je prišla in povedala Božjemu možu. Rekel je: »Pojdi, prodaj olje in poplačaj svoj dolg in od preostanka živite ti in tvoja otroka.«

She went and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt. Then you and your sons can live on the remainder.”

8 Zgodilo se je na nek dan, da je Elizej odšel v Šuném, kjer je bila plemenita ženska; in ta ga je primorala, da jé kruh. In to je bilo tako, da tako pogosto, kot je šel mimo, se je obrnil tja, da bi jedel kruh.

One day Elisha went to Shunem, and a prominent woman who lived there persuaded him to have a meal. So whenever he would pass by, he would stop there to eat.

9 Svojemu soprogu je rekla: »Glej torej, zaznavam, da je to sveti Božji mož, ki nenehno hodi mimo nas.

Then the woman said to her husband, “Behold, now I know that the one who often comes our way is a holy man of God.

10 Narediva majhno sobo, prosim te, na zidu in tam zanj postavimo posteljo, mizo, stolček in svečnik. In zgodilo se bo, ko prihaja k nam, da se bo obrnil tja noter.«

Please let us make a small room upstairs and put in it a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp for him. Then when he comes to us, he can stay there.”

11 Zgodilo se je na nek dan, da je prišel tja, se obrnil v sobo in se tam ulegel.

One day Elisha came to visit and went to his upper room to lie down.

12 Svojemu služabniku Gehazíju je rekel: »Pokliči to Šunémko.« Ko jo je ta poklical, je obstala pred njim.

And he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call the Shunammite woman.” And when he had called her, she stood before him,

13 Rekel mu je: »Sedaj ji povej: ›Glej, hitela si za naju z vso to skrbjo. Kaj naj bo storjeno zate? Ali naj zate govorim kralju ali poveljniku vojske?‹« Odgovorila je: »Prebivam med svojim lastnim ljudstvom.«

and Elisha said to Gehazi, “Now tell her, ‘Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What can we do for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the king or the commander of the army?’” “I have a home among my own people,” she replied.

14 Rekel je: »Kaj naj bo potem storjeno zanjo?« Gehazí je odgovoril: »Resnično, ona nima otroka in njen soprog je star.«

So he asked, “Then what should be done for her?” “Well, she has no son,” Gehazi replied, “and her husband is old.”

15 Rekel je: »Pokliči jo.« Ko jo je poklical, je obstala med vrati.

“Call her,” said Elisha. So Gehazi called her, and she stood in the doorway.

16 Rekel je: »Okoli tega obdobja, glede na čas življenja, boš objemala sina.« Rekla je: »Ne, moj gospod, Božji mož, ne laži svoji pomočnici.«

And Elisha declared, “At this time next year, you will hold a son in your arms.” “No, my lord,” she said. “Do not lie to your maidservant, O man of God.”

17 Ženska je spočela in rodila sina v tistem obdobju, ki ji ga je Elizej povedal, glede na čas življenja.

But the woman did conceive, and at that time the next year she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her.

18 Ko je otrok postal večji, se je nekega dne zgodilo, da je odšel ven k svojemu očetu, k žanjcem.

And the child grew, and one day he went out to his father, who was with the harvesters.

19 Svojemu očetu je rekel: »Moja glava, moja glava.« In ta je rekel mladeniču: »Odnesi ga k njegovi materi.«

“My head! My head!” he complained to his father. So his father told a servant, “Carry him to his mother.”

20 Ko ga je ta vzel in ga privedel k njegovi materi, je do opoldneva sedel na njenih kolenih, potem pa je umrl.

After the servant had picked him up and carried him to his mother, the boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died.

21 Vzdignila se je, ga položila na posteljo Božjega moža, zaprla vrata za njim in odšla ven.

And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door and went out.

22 Poklicala je k svojemu soprogu in rekla: »Pošlji mi, prosim te, enega izmed mladeničev in enega izmed oslov, da lahko stečem k Božjemu možu in ponovno pridem nazaj.«

And the woman called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may go quickly to the man of God and return.”

23 Rekel je: »Čemu hočeš iti k njemu danes? Ni niti mlaj niti šabat.« Rekla je: » To bo dobro.«

“Why would you go to him today?” he replied. “It is not a New Moon or a Sabbath.” “Everything is all right,” she said.

24 Potem je osedlala osla in svojemu mladeniču rekla: »Požêni in pojdi naprej. Svojega jahanja ne upočasnjuj zaradi mene, razen če ti ne zapovem.«

Then she saddled the donkey and told her servant, “Drive onward; do not slow the pace for me unless I tell you.”

25 Tako je odšla in prišla k Božjemu možu na goro Karmel. Pripetilo se je, ko jo je Božji mož od daleč zagledal, da je svojemu služabniku Gehazíju rekel: »Glej, tam je ta Šunémka.

So she set out and went to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to his servant Gehazi, “Look, there is the Shunammite woman.

26 Steci sedaj, prosim te, da jo srečaš in ji reci: › Ali je dobro s teboj? Ali je dobro s tvojim soprogom? Ali je dobro z otrokom?‹« Odgovorila je: »Dobro je.«

Please run out now to meet her and ask, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?’” And she answered, “Everything is all right.”

27 Ko pa je prišla k Božjemu možu na hrib, se je oklenila njegovih stopal. Toda Gehazí se je približal, da jo pahne proč. Božji mož pa je rekel: »Pusti jo; kajti njena duša je zagrenjena znotraj nje in Gospod je to skril pred menoj in mi ni povedal.«

When she reached the man of God at the mountain, she clung to his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is in deep distress, and the LORD has hidden it from me and has not told me.”

28 Potem je rekla: »Ali sem si jaz želela sina od svojega gospoda?« Ali nisem rekla: »Ne zavajaj me?«

Then she said, “Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Didn’t I say, ‘Do not deceive me?’”

29 Potem je rekel Gehazíju: »Opaši svoja ledja in v svojo roko vzemi mojo palico in pojdi svojo pot. Če srečaš kateregakoli človeka, ga ne pozdravi in če kdorkoli pozdravi tebe, mu ravno tako ne odgovori, in mojo palico položi na otrokov obraz.«

So Elisha said to Gehazi, “Tie up your garment, take my staff in your hand, and go! If you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not answer him. Then lay my staff on the boy’s face.”

30 Otrokova mati je rekla: » Kakor Gospod živi in kakor tvoja duša živi, te ne bom zapustila.« Vstal je in ji sledil.

And the mother of the boy said, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So he got up and followed her.

31 Gehazí je šel pred njima in palico položil na otrokov obraz, toda ni bilo niti glasu niti uslišanja. Zatorej je ponovno odšel, da ga sreča in mu povedal, rekoč: »Otrok se ni prebudil.«

Gehazi went on ahead of them and laid the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or response. So he went back to meet Elisha and told him, “The boy has not awakened.”

32 Ko je Elizej prišel v hišo, glej, je bil otrok mrtev in položen na njegovo posteljo.

When Elisha reached the house, there was the boy lying dead on his bed.

33 Vstopil je torej in zaprl vrata za njima ter molil h Gospodu.

So he went in, closed the door behind the two of them, and prayed to the LORD.

34 Povzpel se je in legel na otroka ter svoja usta položil na njegova usta in svoje oči na njegove oči in svoje roke na njegove roke. Raztegnil se je nad otrokom in otrokovo meso se je ogrelo.

Then Elisha got on the bed and lay on the boy, mouth to mouth, eye to eye, and hand to hand. As he stretched himself out over him, the boy’s body became warm.

35 Potem se je vrnil in po hiši hodil sem ter tja, se povzpel in sebe raztegnil nad njim. Otrok je sedemkrat kihnil in otrok je odprl svoje oči.

Elisha turned away and paced back and forth across the room. Then he got on the bed and stretched himself out over the boy again, and the boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.

36 Poklical je Gehazíja in rekel: »Pokliči to Šunémko.« Tako jo je poklical. Ko je vstopila k njemu, je rekel: »Vzemi svojega sina.«

Elisha summoned Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunammite woman.” So he called her and she came. Then Elisha said, “Pick up your son.”

37 Potem je vstopila, padla k njegovim stopalom, se priklonila do tal, vzela svojega sina in odšla ven.

She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she picked up her son and went out.

38 Elizej je ponovno prišel v Gilgál. Tam pa je bilo v deželi pomanjkanje. Sinovi prerokov so sedeli pred njim. Svojemu služabniku je rekel: »Pristavi velik lonec in za sinove prerokov zavri juho.«

When Elisha returned to Gilgal, there was a famine in the land. As the sons of the prophets were sitting at his feet, he said to his attendant, “Put on the large pot and boil some stew for the sons of the prophets.”

39 Nekdo je odšel na polje, da nabere zelišča in našel divjo trto in od nje nabral polno naročje divjih buč in prišel in jih zrezal v lonec juhe, kajti niso jih poznali.

One of them went out to the field to gather herbs, and he found a wild vine from which he gathered as many wild gourds as his garment could hold. Then he came back and cut them up into the pot of stew, though no one knew what they were.

40 Tako so nalili, da bi možje jedli. Pripetilo pa se je, ko so jedli juho, da so zavpili in rekli: »Oh ti Božji mož, smrt je v loncu.« In tega niso mogli jesti.

And they poured it out for the men to eat, but when they tasted the stew they cried out, “There is death in the pot, O man of God!” And they could not eat it.

41 Toda rekel je: »Torej prinesite moko.« Vrgel jo je v lonec in rekel: »Nalij za ljudstvo, da bodo lahko jedli.« In v loncu ni bilo nič škodljivega.

Then Elisha said, “Get some flour.” He threw it into the pot and said, “Pour it out for the people to eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot.

42 Prišel je mož iz Báal Šalíša in Božjemu možu prinesel kruh od prvih sadov, dvajset ječmenovih hlebov in polno žitno klasje v luščinah. Rekel je: »Dajte ljudstvu, da bodo lahko jedli.«

Now a man from Baal-shalishah came to the man of God with a sack of twenty loaves of barley bread from the first ripe grain. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha.

43 Njegov strežnik pa je rekel: »Kaj, mar naj bi to postavil pred sto mož?« Ponovno je rekel: »Daj ljudstvu, da bodo lahko jedli, kajti tako govori Gospod: › Od tega bodo jedli in še bo ostalo.‹«

But his servant asked, “How am I to set twenty loaves before a hundred men?” “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha, “for this is what the LORD says: ‘They will eat and have some left over.’”

44 Tako je to postavil prednje in so jedli in od tega pustili, glede na Gospodovo besedo.

So he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the LORD.
