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 a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead. You know that your servant feared Yahweh. Now the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be 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.«

Elisha said to her, “What should I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She said, “Your servant has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.”

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

Then he said, “Go, borrow empty containers from all your neighbors. Don’t borrow just a few containers.

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.«

Go in and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour oil into all those containers; and set aside those which are full.”

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 went from him, and shut the door on herself and on her sons. They brought the containers to her, and she poured oil.

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 the containers were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.” He said to her, “There isn’t another container.” 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.«

Then she came and told the man of God. He said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.”

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, where there was a prominent woman; and she persuaded him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.

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

She said to her husband, “See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually.

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’s make a little room on the roof. Let’s set a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand for him there. 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 he came there, and he went to the room and lay there.

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

He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” 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.«

He said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have cared for us with all this care. What is to be done for you? Would you like to be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army?’” She answered, “I dwell among my own people.”

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

He said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.”

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

He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the door.

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

He said, “At this season next year, you will embrace a son.” She said, “No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your servant.”

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

The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her.

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

When the child was grown, one day he went out to his father to the reapers.

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

He said to his father, “My head! My head!” He said to his 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.

When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died.

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

She went up and laid him on the man of God’s bed, and shut the door on him, 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.«

She called to her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and come again.”

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

He said, “Why would you want to go to him today? It is not a new moon or a Sabbath.” She said, “It’s all right.”

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 a donkey, and said to her servant, “Drive, and go forward! Don’t slow down for me, unless I ask you to.”

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 went, and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her afar off, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Behold, there is the Shunammite.

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 now to meet her, and ask her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with your child?’” She answered, “It is well.”

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 came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; and Yahweh 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.«

Then he said to Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and go your way. If you meet any man, don’t greet him; and if anyone greets you, don’t answer him again. Then lay my staff on the child’s face.”

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

The child’s mother said, “As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So he arose, 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 ahead of them, and laid the staff on the child’s face; but there was no voice and no hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, “The child has not awakened.”

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

When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and lying on his bed.

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

He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to Yahweh.

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.

He went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself on him; and the child’s flesh grew 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.

Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth, then went up and stretched himself out on him. Then the child sneezed seven times, and the child 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.«

He called Gehazi, and said, “Call this Shunammite!” So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, “Take up your son.”

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

Then she went in, fell at his feet, and bowed herself 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.«

Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, “Get the large pot, and boil 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 went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered a lap full of wild gourds from it, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew; for they didn’t recognize them.

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.

So they poured out for the men to eat. As they were eating some of the stew, they cried out and said, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” 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.

But he said, “Then bring meal.” He threw it into the pot; and he said, “Serve it to the people, that they may 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.«

A man from Baal Shalishah came, and brought the man of God some bread of the first fruits: twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. Elisha said, “Give to the people, that they may eat.”

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.‹«

His servant said, “What, should I set this before a hundred men?” But he said, “Give it to the people, that they may eat; for Yahweh says, ‘They will eat, and will 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 Yahweh’s word.
