2 Kralji 8

1 Potem je Elizej spregovoril ženski, katerega sina je obudil v življenje, rekoč: »Vstani in pojdi, ti in tvoja družina in začasno prebivaj kjerkoli lahko prebivaš, kajti Gospod je poklical lakoto in ta bo tudi prišla nad deželo [za] sedem let.«

Elisha told the woman whose son he had brought back to life, “You and your family need to pack up and leave, and live where you can somewhere else like a foreigner. For the Lord announced a famine will come to the land and will last seven years.”

2 Ženska je vstala in storila po besedi Božjega moža in šla s svojo družino in sedem let začasno prebivala v filistejski deželi.

The woman packed up and did what the man of God had told her. She and her family went and lived as foreigners for seven years in the country of the Philistines.

3 Ob koncu sedmih let se je pripetilo, da se je ženska vrnila iz filistejske dežele in šla naprej, da kliče h kralju za svojo hišo in za svoje polje.

When the seven years were over, she came back from the country of the Philistines and went to the king to appeal for the return of her house and lands.

4 Kralj je govoril z Gehazíjem, služabnikom Božjega moža, rekoč: »Povej mi, prosim te, vse velike stvari, ki jih je storil Elizej.«

The king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, asking him, “Please tell me about all the wonderful things Elisha did.”

5 Pripetilo se je, medtem ko je kralju pripovedoval, kako je truplo oživil v življenje, glej, da je ženska, čigar sina je oživil v življenje, klicala h kralju za svojo hišo in svoje polje. Gehazí je rekel: »Moj gospod, oh kralj, to je ženska in to je njen sin, ki ga je Elizej oživil v življenje.«

It so happened that right then Gehazi was telling the king the story of how Elisha had brought the dead boy back to life when his mother arrived to make her appeal to the king for the return of her house and lands. “My lord the king,” Gehazi called out, “this is the woman, and this is her son that Elisha brought back to life.”

6 Ko je kralj žensko vprašal, mu je povedala. Tako ji je kralj določil nekega častnika, rekoč: »Povrni vse, kar je bilo njeno in vse sadove polja, od dneva, ko je zapustila deželo, celo do sedaj.«

The king asked the woman about it and she explained the whole story to him. The king gave orders to an official, saying, “Make sure everything that belonged to her is returned to her, together with all the profit from her lands from the day that she left the country until now.”

7 Elizej je prišel v Damask in sirski kralj Ben Hadád je bil bolan in povedano mu je bilo, rekoč: »Božji mož je prišel sèm.«

Elisha went to Damascus when Ben-hadad king of Aram was ill. The king was informed, “The man of God has arrived in town.”

8 Kralj je rekel Hazaélu: »V svojo roko vzemi darilo in pojdi, srečaj Božjega moža in pri njem poizvedi od Gospoda, rekoč: ›Ali bom okreval od te bolezni?‹«

The king ordered Hazael, “Take a gift with you and go and meet the man of God. Ask him to ask the Lord, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”

9 Tako je Hazaél odšel, da ga sreča in s seboj vzel darilo, celo vsako dobro stvar iz Damaska, breme za štirideset kamel in prišel, obstal pred njim ter rekel: »Tvoj sin, sirski kralj Ben Hadád, me je poslal k tebi, rekoč: ›Ali bom okreval od te bolezni?‹«

So Hazael went to meet Elisha. He took with him a gift of all the best things from Damascus—forty camel-loads of goods. He came in and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”

10 Elizej mu je rekel: »Pojdi, reci mu: ›Ti zagotovo lahko okrevaš, ‹ vendar mi je Gospod pokazal, da bo zagotovo umrl.«

“Go and tell him, ‘You will definitely recover.’ But the Lord has shown me that definitely he is going to die,” Elisha replied.

11 Trdno je naravnal svoje obličje, dokler ni pobledel in Božji mož je zajokal.

Elisha stared at him for a long time until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the man of God started to cry.

12 Hazaél je rekel: »Zakaj joka moj gospod?« In ta je odgovoril: »Ker poznam zlo, ki ga boš storil Izraelovim otrokom. Njihova oporišča boš požgal, njihove mladeniče boš pobil z mečem, raztreščil njihove otroke in razparal njihove nosečnice.«

“Why are you crying, my lord?” asked Hazael. “Because I know the evil things you are going to do to the Israelites,” Elisha replied. “You will set their fortresses on fire, kill their young men with the sword, dash to pieces their little ones, and rip open their pregnant women.”

13 Hazaél je rekel: »Toda ali je tvoj služabnik pes, da bi storil to veliko stvar?« Elizej je odgovoril: » Gospod mi je pokazal, da boš postal kralj nad Sirijo.«

“But how could someone like me who's just a ‘dog’ achieve anything like that?” Hazael asked. “The Lord has shown me that you are going to be the king of Aram,” Elisha replied.

14 Tako je odšel od Elizeja in prišel k svojemu gospodarju, ki mu je rekel: »Kaj ti je Elizej povedal?« Odgovoril je: »Povedal mi je, da boš zagotovo okreval.«

Hazael left Elisha and went to his master, who asked him, “What did Elisha tell you?” Hazael replied, “He told me you would definitely recover.”

15 Naslednji dan pa se je pripetilo, da je vzel debelo cunjo, jo namočil v vodi in jo razprostrl na njegov obraz, tako da je umrl in namesto njega je zakraljeval Hazaél.

But the following day Hazael took the bed cover, soaked it in water, and spread it over the king's face until he died. Then Hazael took over from him as king.

16 V petem letu Joráma, sina Izraelovega kralja Ahába, takrat je bil Józafat Judov kralj, je začel kraljevati Jehorám, sin Judovega kralja Józafata.

Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, began his reign as king of Judah in the fifth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, while Jehoshaphat was still king of Judah.

17 Dvaintrideset let je bil star, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval osem let.

He was thirty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years.

18 Hodil je po poti Izraelovih kraljev, kakor je počela Ahábova hiša, kajti Ahábova hči je bila njegova žena. Počel je zlo v Gospodovih očeh.

Jehoram followed the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he married a daughter of Ahab and did what was evil in the Lord's sight.

19 Vendar Gospod ni hotel uničiti Juda zaradi svojega služabnika Davida, kakor mu je obljubil, da bo vedno dal svetlobo njemu in njegovim otrokom.

But for the sake of David his servant the Lord didn't want to destroy Judah since he had promised him that there would always be a ruler from his descendants, like a lamp forever.

20 V njegovih dneh se je Edóm spuntal izpod Judove roke in si nad seboj postavil kralja.

During Jehoram's time as king, Edom rebelled against Judah's rule and chose their own king.

21 Tako je Jorám odšel v Caír in vsi njegovi bojni vozovi z njim in vstal je ponoči in udaril Edómce, ki so ga obdali naokoli in poveljnike bojnih vozov. In ljudstvo je pobegnilo v svoje šotore.

So Jehoram went over to Zair with all his chariots. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he took action and attacked at night. But his army ran back to their homes.

22 Vendar se je Edóm spuntal izpod Judove roke do današnjega dne. Potem se je ob istem času spuntala Libna.

As a result Edom has been in rebellion against Judah's rule to this day. At the same time Libnah also decided to rebel.

23 Ostala Jorámova dela in vse, kar je storil, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Judovih kraljev?

The rest of what happened in Jehoram's reign and all that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.

24 Jorám je zaspal s svojimi očeti in je bil s svojimi očeti pokopan v Davidovem mestu in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Ahazjá.

Jehoram died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.

25 V dvanajstem letu Joráma, sina Izraelovega kralja Ahába, je začel kraljevati Ahazjá, sin Judovega kralja Jehoráma.

Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, became king of Judah in the twelfth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel.

26 Ahazjá je bil star dvaindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval eno leto. Ime njegove matere je bilo Ataljá, hči Izraelovega kralja Omrija.

Ahaziah was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel.

27 Hodil je po poti Ahábove hiše in počel zlo v Gospodovih očeh, kakor je počela Ahábova hiša, kajti bil je zet Ahabove hiše.

Ahaziah also followed the evil ways of the family of Ahab, and did what was evil in the Lord's sight as the family of Ahab had done, for he was related to them by marriage.

28 Z Ahábovim sinom Jorámom je odšel na vojno zoper sirskega kralja Hazaéla v Ramót Gileád in Sirci so ranili Joráma.

Ahaziah went with Joram, son of Ahab, to fight against Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead. The Arameans wounded Joram,

29 Kralj Jorám je odšel nazaj, da bi bil v Jezreélu ozdravljen ran, ki so mu jih zadali Sirci pri Rami, ko se je boril zoper sirskega kralja Hazaéla. In Ahazjá, sin Judovega kralja Jehoráma, je odšel dol, da pogleda Ahábovega sina Joráma v Jezreélu, ker je bil bolan.

and he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he'd received in Ramah fighting against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went to Jezreel to visit Joram, son of Ahab, because Joram was wounded.
