1 A neki čovjek Božji dođe na riječ Jahvinu iz Judeje u Betel kada Jeroboam stajaše pred žrtvenikom da prinese kad.
Look, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of YHWH to Beth El: and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.
2 I po Jahvinoj zapovijedi povika onaj prema žrtveniku: “Žrtveniče, žrtveniče! Ovako veli Jahve: 'Evo će se roditi u kući Davidovoj sin po imenu Jošija. On će na tebi žrtvovati svećenike uzvišica, te koji na tebi prinose kad, i on će na tebi spaliti ljudske kosti!'”
He cried against the altar by the word of YHWH, and said, "Altar, altar, thus says YHWH: 'Look, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. On you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men's bones on you.'"
3 U isto im vrijeme dade znak: “Ovo je znak da je Jahve govorio: gle, žrtvenik će se raspuknuti i prosut će se pepeo što je na njemu.”
He gave a sign the same day, saying, "This is the sign which YHWH has spoken: Look, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out."
4 Kada je kralj čuo što je čovjek Božji rekao protiv žrtvenika u Betelu, pruži ruku odande od žrtvenika i reče: “Uhvatite ga!” Ali se osušila ruka koju je ispružio prema čovjeku i nije je mogao vratiti k sebi.
It happened, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, that Jeroboam put out his hand from the altar, saying, "Seize him." His hand, which he put out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to himself.
5 Žrtvenik se raspuknuo i pepeo se prosuo sa žrtvenika, prema znaku što ga je dao čovjek Božji po naredbi Jahvinoj.
The altar also was split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of YHWH.
6 Kralj progovori i reče čovjeku Božjem: “Umilostivi Jahvu, Boga svoga, da bih mogao vratiti ruku k sebi.” Božji čovjek umilostivi Jahvu i ruka se kraljeva vrati k njemu i bila je kao prije.
The king answered the man of God, "Now plead for the favor of YHWH your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again." The man of God entreated YHWH, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.
7 Kralj onda reče čovjeku Božjem: “Hodi sa mnom kući da se okrijepiš. I dat ću ti dar.”
The king said to the man of God, "Come home with me, and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward."
8 Ali čovjek Božji odgovori kralju: “Da mi dadeš polovinu svoje kuće, ne bih pošao s tobom. Ni jeo ni pio ne bih na ovom mjestu,
The man of God said to the king, "Even if you gave me half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither would I eat bread nor drink water in this place;
9 jer mi je ovako zapovjeđeno riječju Jahvinom: 'Ne jedi kruha i ne pij vode, niti se vraćaj istim putem kojim si došao.'”
for so was it commanded me by the word of YHWH, saying, 'You shall eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that you came.'"
10 I otišao je drugim putem, nije se vraćao putem kojim je došao u Betel.
So he went another way, and did not return by the way that he came to Bethel.
11 A u Betelu živio star prorok. Došli njemu njegovi sinovi te mu pripovjedili sve što je onoga dana učinio čovjek Božji u Betelu; i riječi što ih je onaj kazao kralju pripovjediše sinovi ocu.
Now there lived an old prophet in Bethel; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. And they also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.
12 A on ih upita: “Kojim je putem otišao?” Sinovi pokazaše put kojim je otišao čovjek Božji što bijaše došao iz Judeje.
Their father said to them, "Which way did he go?" Now his sons showed him the way the man of God went, who came from Judah.
13 Prorok će nato sinovima: “Osamarite mi magarca!” I osamariše mu magarca, a on uzjaha.
He said to his sons, "Saddle the donkey for me." So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it.
14 Krenuo je za čovjekom Božjim i našao ga gdje sjedi pod hrastom; i upita ga: “Jesi li ti čovjek Božji koji je došao iz Judeje?” A on mu odgovori: “Jesam.”
He went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. He said to him, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" He said, "I am."
15 Prorok mu reče: “Hodi sa mnom mome domu da štogod pojedeš.”
Then he said to him, "Come home with me, and eat bread."
16 Ali on odgovori: “Ne smijem se vratiti s tobom, niti smijem jesti kruha ni piti vode na ovome mjestu,
He said, "I may not return with you, nor go in with you; neither will I eat bread nor drink water with you in this place.
17 jer mi je Jahvinom riječju naređeno ovo: 'Ne jedi ondje kruha, ne pij vode, niti se vraćaj putem kojim si onamo pošao'.”
For it was said to me by the word of YHWH, 'You shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that you came.'"
18 Nato će mu onaj: “I ja sam prorok kao i ti, i anđeo mi je riječju Jahvinom rekao: 'Povedi ga sa sobom kući da jede kruha i pije vode.'” Slagao mu je.
He said to him, "I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the word of YHWH, saying, 'Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.'" He lied to him.
19 Božji čovjek vrati se s njim, u njegovoj je kući jeo kruha i pio vode.
So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.
20 Dok su sjedili za stolom, dođe riječ Jahvina proroku koji ga je natrag doveo
It happened, as they sat at the table, that the word of YHWH came to the prophet who brought him back;
21 i povika on čovjeku Božjem koji je došao iz Judeje: “Ovako veli Jahve: zato što nisi poslušao zapovijedi Jahvine i nisi držao naredbe koju ti je dao Jahve, Bog tvoj,
and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, "Thus says YHWH, 'Because you have been disobedient to the mouth of YHWH, and have not kept the commandment which YHWH your God commanded you,
22 nego si se vratio, jeo kruha i pio vode na mjestu gdje sam ti rekao da ne jedeš kruha i ne piješ vode, zato tijelo tvoje neće leći u grob otaca tvojih.”
but came back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to you, "Eat no bread, and drink no water"; your body shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.'"
23 Pošto se onaj koga bijaše doveo najeo kruha i napio vode, osedla mu magarca.
It happened, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.
24 I ode onaj. A na putu ga zaskoči lav i usmrti ga. I tako je mrtvo tijelo ležalo ispruženo na putu, magarac stajao kraj njega, a i lav stajaše kraj tijela.
When he had gone, a lion met him by the way, and killed him. His body was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the body.
25 Ljudi prolazeći vidješe mrtvo tijelo ispruženo na putu i lava gdje stoji kraj njega; i odoše i javiše to u gradu gdje je živio stari prorok.
Look, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.
26 Kad je to čuo prorok koji bijaše onoga vratio s puta, reče: “To je čovjek Božji koji se usprotivio riječi Jahvinoj! I Jahve ga je predao lavu, koji ga je napao i ubio, prema riječi koju je Jahve rekao.”
When the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, "It is the man of God who was disobedient to the mouth of YHWH. Therefore YHWH has delivered him to the lion, which has mauled him and slain him, according to the word of YHWH, which he spoke to him."
27 I reče svojim sinovima: “Osamarite mi magarca!” I oni mu ga osamariše.
He spoke to his sons, saying, "Saddle the donkey for me." They saddled it.
28 Ode on i nađe mrtvo tijelo bačeno na putu i magarca i lava gdje stoje pokraj tijela: lav nije požderao tijelo niti je rastrgao magarca.
He went and found his body cast in the way, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body, nor mauled the donkey.
29 Tada prorok podiže mrtvo tijelo čovjeka Božjeg i prebaci ga na magarca; i vrati se u grad gdje je živio da mrtvoga ožali i pokopa.
The prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. And he came to the city of the old prophet to mourn and to bury him.
30 Položio je mrtvo tijelo u svoju grobnicu i jecao je nad njim: “Jao, brate moj!”
He laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, "Alas, my brother."
31 A kad ga je pokopao, reče svojim sinovima: “Poslije moje smrti sahranite me u istu grobnicu gdje je pokopan čovjek Božji; stavite moje kosti kraj njegovih.
It happened, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, "When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb in which the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones.
32 Jer će se sigurno ispuniti riječ koju je po zapovijedi Jahvinoj objavio protiv žrtvenika u Betelu i protiv svih svetišta na uzvišicama u gradovima Samarije.”
For the saying which he proclaimed by the word of YHWH against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely happen."
33 Ni poslije ovoga događaja ne obrati se Jeroboam za svoga zlog puta, nego je i dalje priproste ljude postavljao za svećenike na uzvišicama: tko je želio, davao mu je darove da postane svećenik uzvišica.
After this thing Jeroboam did not return from his evil way, but again made priests of the high places from among all the people. He consecrated anyone who wanted to be a priest at the high places.
34 Takvim je postupkom padala u grijeh kuća Jeroboamova, rušila se i nestajala s lica zemlje.
This thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the surface of the earth.
