2 Kings 7
1 Then Elisha said: “Listen to the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord: Tomorrow, at this time, one measure of fine wheat flour will be one silver coin, and two measures of barley will be one silver coin, at the gate of Samaria.”
Potem je Elizej rekel: »Poslušaj besedo od Gospoda: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Jutri okoli tega časa bo v velikih vratih Samarije mera fine moke prodajana za šekel in dve meri ječmena za šekel.‹«
2 And one of the leaders, upon whose hand the king leaned, responding to the man of God, said, “Even if the Lord will open the floodgates of heaven, how can what you say possibly be?” And he said, “You will see it with your own eyes, and you will not eat from it.”
Potem je gospod, na čigar roko se je kralj naslanjal, odgovoril Božjemu možu in rekel: »Glej, če bi Gospod naredil okna na nebu, mar bi se to lahko zgodilo?« On pa je rekel: »Glej, to boš videl s svojimi lastnimi očmi, toda od tega ne boš jedel.«
3 Now there were four lepers beside the entrance of the gate. And they said one to another: “Should we choose to stay here until we die?
Ob vhodu velikih vrat so bili štirje gobavci in drug drugemu so rekli: »Čemu tukaj sedimo, dokler ne umremo?
4 If we choose to enter the city, we will die from the famine. And if we remain here, we also will die. Therefore, come and let us flee over to the camp of the Syrians. If they spare us, we will live. But if they choose to kill us, we will die anyway.”
Če rečemo: ›Vstopili bomo v mesto, potem je lakota v mestu in bomo tam umrli. Če pa mirno sedimo tukaj, bomo tudi umrli. Sedaj torej pridite in padimo v vojsko Sircev. Če nas rešijo žive, bomo živeli, če pa nas ubijejo, bomo samo umrli.‹«
5 Therefore, they rose up in the evening, so that they might go to the camp of the Syrians. And when they had arrived at the beginning of the camp of the Syrians, they found no one in that place.
V poltemi so se dvignili, da gredo v tabor Sircev. Ko so prišli k najbolj oddaljenemu delu tabora Sircev, glej, tam ni bilo nobenega moža.
6 For indeed, the Lord had caused them to hear, in the camp of Syria, the sound of chariots and horses, and a very numerous army. And they said one to another: “Behold, the king of Israel has paid wages to the kings of the Hittites and of the Egyptians against us. And they will overwhelm us.”
Kajti Gospod je vojski Sircev storil, da slišijo hrup bojnih vozov in hrup konjev, celó hrup velike vojske in drug drugemu so rekli: »Glejte, Izraelov kralj je zoper nas najel kralje Hetejcev in kralje Egipčanov, da pridejo nad nas.«
7 Therefore, they rose up and fled away in the dark. And they left behind their tents and horses and donkeys in the camp. And they fled, desiring to save so much as their own lives.
Zato so vstali in v poltemi zbežali in pustili svoje šotore, svoje konje in svoje osle, celo tabor, kakor je bil in pobegnili za svoje življenje.
8 And so, when these lepers had arrived at the beginning of the camp, they entered one tent, and they ate and drank. And they took from there silver, and gold, and clothing. And they went away and hid it. And they returned again to another tent, and similarly, carrying away from there, they hid it.
Ko so ti gobavci prišli k najbolj oddaljenemu delu tabora, so odšli v en šotor in jedli, pili in od tam odnesli srebro, zlato in oblačilo ter odšli in to skrili in ponovno prišli ter vstopili v drug šotor in tudi od tam odnesli in odšli ter to skrili.
9 Then they said one to another: “We are not doing the right thing. For this is a day of good news. If we remain silent and refuse to report it until morning, we will be charged with a crime. Come, let us go and report it in the court of the king.”
Potem so drug drugemu rekli: »Ne delamo dobro. Ta dan je dan dobrih novic, mi pa molčimo. Če nadaljujemo do jutranje svetlobe, bo nad nas prišla neka vragolija. Sedaj torej pridite, da bomo lahko šli in povedali kraljevi družini.«
10 And when they had arrived at the gate of the city, they explained to them, saying: “We went into the camp of the Syrians, and we found no one in that place, except horses and donkeys tied, and the tents still standing.”
Tako so prišli in zaklicali vratarju mesta. Povedali so jim, rekoč: »Prišli smo k taboru Sircev in glejte, tam ni bilo nobenega moža niti človeškega glasu, temveč privezani konji, privezani osli in šotori, kakor so bili.«
11 Therefore, the gatekeepers went and reported it in the palace of the king.
Poklical je vratarje in to so povedali znotraj kraljeve hiše.
12 And he rose up in the night, and he said to his servants: “I tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are suffering from famine, and therefore they have gone out from the camp, and they lie hidden in the fields, saying: ‘When they will have gone out from the city, we will capture them alive, and then we will be able to enter the city.’”
Kralj je ponoči vstal in svojim služabnikom rekel: »Sedaj vam bom pokazal, kaj so nam storili Sirci. Vedo, da smo lačni, zato so odšli iz tabora, da se skrijejo na polju, rekoč: ›Ko pridejo iz mesta, jih bomo žive ujeli in pridemo v mesto.‹«
13 But one of his servants responded: “Let us take the five horses that remain in the city (for there were no more amid the entire multitude of Israel, since the rest had been consumed), and sending, we will be able to explore.”
Eden izmed njegovih služabnikov je odgovoril in rekel: »Naj nekateri vzamejo, prosim te, pet izmed konjev, ki so še, ki so ostali v mestu (glej, oni so kakor vsa Izraelova množica, ki je ostala v njem. Glej, pravim, oni so celo kakor vsa množica Izraelcev, ki so použiti) in pošljimo ter poglejmo.«
14 Therefore, they brought two horses. And the king sent them into the camp of the Syrians, saying, “Go, and see.”
Vzeli so torej dva bojna voza [s] konji in kralj je poslal za sirsko vojsko, rekoč: »Pojdite in poglejte.«
15 And they went away after them, as far as the Jordan. But behold, the entire way was filled with clothing and vessels, which the Syrians had thrown aside when they were disturbed. And the messengers returned and told the king.
Za njimi so odšli do Jordana in glej, vsa pot je bila polna oblek in posod, ki so jih Sirci v svoji naglici odvrgli. Poslanci so se vrnili in povedali kralju.
16 And the people, going out, pillaged the camp of the Syrians. And one measure of fine wheat flour went for one silver coin, and two measures of barley went for one silver coin, in accord with the word of the Lord.
Ljudstvo je odšlo ven in oplenilo šotore Sircev. Tako je bila mera fine moke prodajana za šekel in dve meri ječmena za šekel, glede na Gospodovo besedo.
17 Then the king stationed that leader, on whose hand he leaned, at the gate. And the crowd trampled him at the entrance of the gate. And he died, in accord with what the man of God had said when the king had descended to him.
Kralj je določil gospoda, na čigar roko se je naslanjal, da je zadolžen za velika vrata, ljudstvo pa ga je v velikih vratih pomendralo in je umrl, kakor je rekel Božji mož, ki je govoril, ko je dol k njemu prišel kralj.
18 And this happened in accord with the word of the man of God, which he had spoken to the king, when he said: “Two measures of barley will be one silver coin, and one measure of fine wheat flour will be one silver coin, at this same time tomorrow, at the gate of Samaria.”
Pripetilo se je, kakor je Božji mož govoril kralju, rekoč: »Dve meri ječmena za šekel in mera fine moke za šekel bosta jutri okrog tega časa v velikih vratih Samarije.«
19 Then that leader had responded to the man of God, and he had said, “Even if the Lord will open the floodgates of heaven, how can what you say possibly happen?” And he said to him, “You will see it with your own eyes, and you will not eat from it.”
Tisti gospod je Božjemu možu odgovoril in rekel: »Sedaj glej, če bi Gospod naredil okna na nebu, mar bi se to lahko zgodilo?« In ta je rekel: »Glej, to boš videl s svojimi lastnimi očmi, toda od tega ne boš jedel.«
20 Therefore, it happened to him just as it had been predicted. For the people trampled him at the gate, and he died.
In tako ga je to doletelo, kajti ljudstvo ga je pomendralo v velikih vratih in je umrl.
