2 Kralji 6
1 Sinovi prerokov so Elizeju rekli: »Glej torej, kraj, kjer prebivamo s teboj, je za nas preveč utesnjen.
And sons of the prophet say unto Elisha, 'Lo, we pray thee, the place where we are dwelling before thee is too strait 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.«
let us go, we pray thee, unto the Jordan, and we take thence each one beam, and we make for ourselves there a place to dwell there;' and he saith, 'Go.'
3 Nekdo je rekel: »Bodi zadovoljen, prosim te in pojdi s svojimi služabniki.« Odgovoril je: »Šel bom.«
And the one saith, 'Be pleased, I pray thee, and go with thy servants;' and he saith, 'I — I go.'
4 Tako je šel z njimi. In ko so prišli k Jordanu, so sekali les.
And he goeth with them, and they come in to the Jordan, and cut down the trees,
5 Toda ko je nekdo podiral drevo, je glava sekire padla v vodo in zavpil je ter rekel: »Ojoj, gospod! Kajti bila je izposojena.«
and it cometh to pass, the one is felling the beam, and the iron hath fallen into the water, and he crieth and saith, 'Alas! my lord, and it asked!'
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.
And the man of God saith, 'Whither hath it fallen?' and he sheweth him the place, and he cutteth a stick, and casteth thither, and causeth the iron to swim,
7 Zato je rekel: »Vzemi to k sebi.« In iztegnil je svojo roko in jo vzel.
and saith, 'Raise to thee;' and he putteth forth his hand and taketh 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.«
And the king of Aram hath been fighting against Israel, and taketh counsel with his servants, saying, 'At such and such a place [is] my encamping.'
9 Božji mož pa je k Izraelovemu kralju poslal, rekoč: »Pazi, da ne greš mimo tega kraja, kajti tja dol so prišli Sirci.«
And the man of God sendeth unto the king of Israel, saying, 'Take heed of passing by this place, for thither are the Aramaeans coming down;
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.
and the king of Israel sendeth unto the place of which the man of God spake to him, and warned him, and he is preserved there not once nor 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?«
And the heart of the king of Aram is tossed about concerning this thing, and he calleth unto his servants, and saith unto them, 'Do ye not declare to me who 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.«
And one of his servants saith, 'Nay, my lord, O king, for Elisha the prophet, who [is] in Israel, declareth to the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in the inner part of thy bed-chamber.'
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.«
And he saith, 'Go ye and see where he [is], and I send and take him;' and it is declared to him, saying, 'Lo — in Dothan.'
14 Zato je tja poslal konje, bojne vozove in veliko vojsko. Prišli so ponoči in obkolili mesto.
And he sendeth thither horses and chariot, and a heavy force, and they come in by night, and go round against 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?«
And the servant of the man of God riseth early, and goeth out, and lo, a force is surrounding the city, and horse and chariot, and his young man saith unto him, 'Alas! my lord, how do we do?'
16 Odgovoril je: »Ne boj se, kajti tistih, ki so z nami, je več kakor tistih, ki so z njimi.«
And he saith, 'Fear not, for more [are] they who [are] with us than they 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.
And Elisha prayeth, and saith, 'Jehovah, open, I pray Thee, his eyes, and he doth see;' and Jehovah openeth the eyes of the young man, and he seeth, and lo, the hill is full of horses and chariots of fire, round about 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.
And they come down unto it, and Elisha prayeth unto Jehovah, and saith, 'Smite, I pray Thee, this nation with blindness;' and He smiteth them with blindness, according to the word of Elisha.
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.
And Elisha saith unto them, 'This [is] not the way, nor [is] this the city; come after me, and I lead you unto the man whom ye seek;' and he leadeth 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.
And it cometh to pass, at their coming in to Samaria, that Elisha saith, 'Jehovah, open the eyes of these, and they see;' and Jehovah openeth their eyes, and they see, and lo, in the midst of Samaria!
21 Ko jih je Izraelov kralj videl, je rekel Elizeju: »Moj oče, ali naj jih udarim? Ali naj jih udarim?«
And the king of Israel saith unto Elisha, at his seeing them, 'Do I smite — do I smite — my father?'
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.«
And he saith, 'Thou dost not smite; those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow art thou smiting? set bread and water before them, and they eat, and drink, and go unto their lord.'
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.
And he prepareth for them great provision, and they eat and drink, and he sendeth them away, and they go unto their lord: and troops of Aram have not added any more to come in to 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.
And it cometh to pass afterwards, that Ben-Hadad king of Aram gathereth all his camp, and goeth up, and layeth siege to 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.
and there is a great famine in Samaria, and lo, they are laying siege to it, till the head of an ass is at eighty silverlings, and a forth of the cab of dovesdung at five silverlings.
26 Medtem ko se je Izraelov kralj sprehajal po obzidju, je k njemu zavpila ženska, rekoč: »Pomagaj, moj gospod, oh kralj.«
And it cometh to pass, the king of Israel is passing by on the wall, and a woman hath cried unto him, saying, 'Save, 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?«
And he saith, 'Jehovah doth not save thee — whence do I save thee? out of the threshing-floor, or out of the wine-vat?'
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.‹«
And the king saith to her, 'What — to thee?' and she saith, 'This woman said unto me, Give thy son, and we eat him to-day, and my son we eat to-morrow;
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.
and we boil my son and eat him, and I say unto her on the next day, Give thy son, and we eat him; and she hideth 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.
And it cometh to pass, at the king's hearing the words of the woman, that he rendeth his garments, and he is passing by on the wall, and the people see, and lo, the sackcloth [is] on his flesh within.
31 Potem je rekel: »Bog naj mi stori tako in še več, če bo glava Šafátovega sina Elizeja, ta dan obstala na njem.«
And he saith, 'Thus doth God do to me, and thus He doth add — if it remain — the head of Elisha son of Shaphat — upon him this day.'
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?«
And Elisha is sitting in his house, and the elders are sitting with him, and [the king] sendeth a man from before him; before the messenger doth come unto him, even he himself said unto the elders, 'Have ye seen that this son of the murderer hath sent to turn aside my head? see, at the coming in of the messenger, shut the door, and ye have held him fast at the door, is not the sound of the feet of his lord 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?«
He is yet speaking with them, and lo, the messenger is coming down unto him, and he saith, 'Lo, this [is] the evil from Jehovah: what — do I wait for Jehovah any more?'
