2 Kralji 6
1 Sinovi prerokov so Elizeju rekli: »Glej torej, kraj, kjer prebivamo s teboj, je za nas preveč utesnjen.
The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we live and meet with you is too small for us.
2 Naj gremo, prosimo te, k Jordanu in si od tam vsak mož vzame bruno in si tam zgradimo kraj, kjer bomo lahko prebivali.« Odgovoril je: »Pojdite.«
Please let us go to the Jordan, and each man take a beam from there, and let’s make us a place there, where we may live.” He answered, “Go!”
3 Nekdo je rekel: »Bodi zadovoljen, prosim te in pojdi s svojimi služabniki.« Odgovoril je: »Šel bom.«
One said, “Please be pleased to go with your servants.” He answered, “I will go.”
4 Tako je šel z njimi. In ko so prišli k Jordanu, so sekali les.
So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
5 Toda ko je nekdo podiral drevo, je glava sekire padla v vodo in zavpil je ter rekel: »Ojoj, gospod! Kajti bila je izposojena.«
But as one was cutting down a tree, the ax head fell into the water. Then he cried out and said, “Alas, my master! For it was borrowed.”
6 Božji mož je rekel: »Kam je padla?« Ta mu je pokazal kraj. In odsekal je palico ter jo vrgel tja in železo je zaplavalo.
The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float.
7 Zato je rekel: »Vzemi to k sebi.« In iztegnil je svojo roko in jo vzel.
He said, “Take it.” So he put out his hand and took it.
8 Potem se je sirski kralj vojskoval zoper Izraela in se posvetoval s svojimi služabniki, rekoč: »Na tem in tem kraju bo moj tabor.«
Now the king of Syria was at war against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”
9 Božji mož pa je k Izraelovemu kralju poslal, rekoč: »Pazi, da ne greš mimo tega kraja, kajti tja dol so prišli Sirci.«
The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Beware that you not pass this place, for the Syrians are coming down there.”
10 Izraelov kralj je poslal h kraju, o katerem mu je povedal Božji mož, ga o njem posvaril in tam se je rešil, ne samo enkrat ali dvakrat.
The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once or twice.
11 Zato je bilo srce sirskega kralja zaradi te stvari boleče vznemirjeno. Poklical je svoje služabnike in jim rekel: »Ali mi ne boste pokazali, kdo izmed nas je za Izraelovega kralja?«
The king of Syria’s heart was very troubled about this. He called his servants, and said to them, “Will not you show me which of us is for the king of Israel?”
12 Nekdo izmed njegovih služabnikov je rekel: »Nihče, moj gospod, oh kralj, temveč prerok Elizej, ki je v Izraelu, govori Izraelovemu kralju besede, ki jih ti govoriš v svoji spalnici.«
One of his servants said, “No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.”
13 Rekel je: »Pojdi in poglej, kje je, da bom lahko poslal in ga zgrabil.« Bilo mu je povedano, rekoč: »Glej, on je v Dotánu.«
He said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him.” He was told, “Behold, he is in Dothan.”
14 Zato je tja poslal konje, bojne vozove in veliko vojsko. Prišli so ponoči in obkolili mesto.
Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night and surrounded the city.
15 Ko je služabnik Božjega moža zgodaj vstal in odšel naprej, glej, vojska je obkolila mesto, tako s konji kakor bojnimi vozovi. Njegov služabnik mu je rekel: »Ojoj, moj gospod! Kaj bomo storili?«
When the servant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. His servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”
16 Odgovoril je: »Ne boj se, kajti tistih, ki so z nami, je več kakor tistih, ki so z njimi.«
He answered, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
17 Elizej je molil in rekel: » Gospod, prosim te, odpri njegove oči, da bo lahko videl.« Gospod je odprl oči mladeniča in ta je videl in glej, gora je bila polna konj in ognjenih bojnih voz naokoli Elizeja.
Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, please open his eyes, that he may see.” the LORD opened the young man’s eyes, and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
18 Ko so prišli dol k njemu, je Elizej molil h Gospodu in rekel: »Udari to ljudstvo, prosim te, s slepoto.« In udaril jih je s slepoto glede na Elizejevo besedo.
When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, “Please strike this people with blindness.” He struck them with blindness according to Elisha’s word.
19 Elizej jim je rekel: »To ni pot niti ni to mesto. Sledite mi in privedel vas bom k človeku, ki ga iščete.« Toda odvedel jih je v Samarijo.
Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” He led them to Samaria.
20 Ko so prišli v Samarijo, se je pripetilo, da je Elizej rekel: » Gospod, odpri oči teh mož, da bodo lahko videli.« In Gospod je odprl njihove oči in so videli in glej, bili so sredi Samarije.
When they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, “LORD, open these men’s eyes, that they may see.” The LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and behold, they were in the middle of Samaria.
21 Ko jih je Izraelov kralj videl, je rekel Elizeju: »Moj oče, ali naj jih udarim? Ali naj jih udarim?«
The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, “My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?”
22 Ta pa je odgovoril: »Ne boš jih udaril. Mar bi udaril tiste, ki si jih odvedel ujete s svojim mečem in s svojim lokom? Prednje postavi kruh in vodo, da bodo lahko jedli in pili in šli k svojemu gospodarju.«
He answered, “You shall not strike them. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, then go to their master.”
23 Zanje je pripravil veliko preskrbo in ko so pojedli in popili, jih je poslal proč in odšli so k svojemu gospodarju. Tako čete iz Sirije niso nič več prihajale v deželo Izrael.
He prepared a great feast for them. After they ate and drank, he sent them away and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria stopped raiding the land of Israel.
24 Po tem se je pripetilo, da je sirski kralj Ben Hadád zbral vso svojo vojsko, odšel gor in oblegal Samarijo.
After this, Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.
25 Tam v Samariji pa je bila velika lakota. Glej, oblegali so jo, dokler ni bila oslovska glava prodana za osemdeset koščkov srebra in četrtinka kaba golobjega iztrebka za pet koščkov srebra.
There was a great famine in Samaria. Behold, they besieged it until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.
26 Medtem ko se je Izraelov kralj sprehajal po obzidju, je k njemu zavpila ženska, rekoč: »Pomagaj, moj gospod, oh kralj.«
As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!”
27 Ta ji je rekel: »Če ti Gospod ne pomaga, od kod naj ti jaz pomagam? Iz skednja ali iz vinske stiskalnice?«
He said, “If the LORD does not help you, where could I get help for you? From the threshing floor, or from the wine press?”
28 Kralj ji je rekel: »Kaj te pesti?« Odgovorila je: »Ta ženska mi je rekla: ›Daj svojega sina, da ga bomo lahko danes pojedli, mojega sina pa bomo pojedli jutri.‹«
Then the king asked her, “What is your problem?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’
29 Tako smo skuhali mojega sina in ga pojedli. Naslednji dan pa sem ji rekla: »Daj svojega sina, da ga bomo lahko pojedli.« Ona pa je svojega sina skrila.
So we boiled my son and ate him; and I said to her on the next day, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him;’ and she has hidden her son.”
30 Pripetilo se je, ko je kralj slišal besede ženske, da je pretrgal svoja oblačila. Prek obzidja je šel mimo in ljudstvo je gledalo in glej, na svojem telesu je imel spodaj vrečevino.
When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes. Now he was passing by on the wall, and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth underneath on his body.
31 Potem je rekel: »Bog naj mi stori tako in še več, če bo glava Šafátovega sina Elizeja, ta dan obstala na njem.«
Then he said, “God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat stays on him today.”
32 Toda Elizej je sedel v svoji hiši in starešine so sedeli z njim. In kralj je izpred sebe poslal moža, toda malo preden je poslanec prišel k njemu, je starešinam rekel: »Ali vidite, kako je ta sin morilca poslal, da mi vzame mojo glavo? Poglejte, ko pride poslanec, zaprite vrata in ga trdno držite pri vratih. Mar ni zvok stopal njegovega gospodarja za njim?«
But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Then the king sent a man from before him; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, “Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Behold, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door shut against him. Is not the sound of his master’s feet behind him?”
33 Medtem ko je še govoril z njimi, glej, je dol k njemu prišel poslanec in rekel: »Glej to zlo je od Gospoda. Zakaj bi še čakal na Gospoda?«
While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. Then he said, “Behold, this evil is from the LORD. Why should I wait for the LORD any longer?”
