2 Chronicles 18

1 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and allied himself with Ahab by marriage.

Torej Józafat je imel bogastev in časti v obilju in sklenil svaštvo z Ahábom.

2 And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead.

Po nekaj letih je odšel dol k Ahábu v Samarijo. Aháb je zanj in za ljudstvo, ki ga je imel s seboj, v obilju zaklal ovce in vole in pregovoril ga je, da gre z njim gor v Ramót Gileád.

3 And Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war.

Izraelov kralj Aháb je rekel Judovemu kralju Józafatu: »Hočeš iti z menoj v Ramót Gileád?« Ta mu je odgovoril: »Jaz sem, kakor si ti in moje ljudstvo kakor tvoje ljudstvo, in mi bomo s teboj v vojni.«

4 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.

Józafat je Izraelovemu kralju rekel: »Poizvedi, prosim te, danes pri Gospodovi besedi.«

5 Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said to them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king’s hand.

Zato je Izraelov kralj izmed prerokov skupaj zbral štiristo mož in jim rekel: »Ali naj gremo v Ramót Gileád, da se bojujemo ali naj [to] opustim?« Rekli so: »Pojdi gor, kajti Bog ga bo izročil v kraljevo roko.«

6 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we may enquire of him?

Toda Józafat je rekel: » Ali tukaj poleg ni Gospodovega preroka, da bi lahko poizvedeli od njega?

7 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesieth good to me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

Izraelov kralj je Józafatu rekel: » Je še en mož, pri katerem bi lahko povprašali Gospoda, toda jaz ga sovražim, kajti nikoli mi ne prerokuje dobro, temveč vedno hudo. Ta isti je Jimlájev sin Miha.« Józafat je rekel: »Naj kralj ne govori tako.«

8 And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Bring quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.

Izraelov kralj je dal poklicati enega izmed svojih častnikov in rekel: »Pojdi hitro po Jimlájevega sina Miha.«

9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat each of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

Izraelov kralj in Judov kralj Józafat sta sedela, vsak izmed njiju na svojem prestolu, oblečena v njuna svečana oblačila in sedela na odprtem kraju pri vhodu velikih vrat Samarije, vsi preroki pa so prerokovali pred njima.

10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they shall be consumed.

Kenaanájev sin Cidkijá si je naredil rogove iz železa in rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›S temi boš porinil Sirijo, dokler ne bodo použiti.

11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

Vsi preroki so prerokovali tako, rekoč: »Pojdi gor v Ramót Gileád in uspevaj, kajti Gospod ga bo izročil v kraljevo roko.«

12 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one consent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good.

Poslanec, ki je odšel, da pokliče Miha, mu je spregovoril, rekoč: »Glej, besede prerokov soglasno kralju razglašajo dobro. Naj bo torej tvoja beseda, prosim te, kakor ena izmed njihovih in govori dobro.«

13 And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak.

Miha je rekel: » Kakor živi Gospod, kar reče moj Bog, to bom govoril.«

14 And when he had come to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.

Ko je prišel h kralju, mu je kralj rekel: »Miha, ali naj gremo gor v Ramót Gileád, da se bojujemo ali naj [to] opustim?« Ta je rekel: »Pojdite gor in uspevajte in izročeni bodo v vašo roko.«

15 And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD?

Kralj mu je rekel: »Kolikokrat te bom zaklinjal, da mi ne poveš ničesar, razen resnice, v Gospodovem imenu?«

16 Then he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace.

Potem je rekel: »Videl sem vsega Izraela razkropljenega po gorah kakor ovce, ki nimajo pastirja in Gospod je rekel: ›Ti nimajo gospodarja, naj se torej vrnejo v miru, vsak mož k svoji hiši.‹«

17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good to me, but evil?

Izraelov kralj je Józafatu rekel: »Ali ti nisem rekel, da mi ne bo prerokoval dobro, temveč zlo?«

18 Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.

Ponovno je rekel: »Zato poslušajte besedo od Gospoda: ›Videl sem Gospoda sedeti na svojem prestolu in vso nebeško vojsko stati na njegovi desni roki in na njegovi levi.‹

19 And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spoke saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.

Gospod je rekel: ›Kdo bo premamil Izraelovega kralj Ahába, da gre lahko gor in pade pri Ramót Gileádu?‹ Eden je odgovoril na ta način, drugi je odgovoril na ta način.

20 Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said to him, How?

Tedaj je šel naprej duh in obstal pred Gospodom ter rekel: ›Jaz ga bom premamil.‹ Gospod mu je rekel: ›S čim?‹

21 And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the LORD said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so.

Rekel je: ›Šel bom ven in bom lažniv duh v ustih vseh njegovih prerokov.‹ In Gospod je rekel: ›Ti ga boš premamil in ti ga boš tudi pregovoril. Pojdi ven in stôri tako.‹

22 Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee.

Zdaj torej glejte, Gospod je položil lažnivega duha v usta teh tvojih prerokov in Gospod je zoper tebe govoril zlo.«

23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak to thee?

Potem je Kenaanájev sin Cidkijá prišel bliže in udaril Miha po licu ter rekel: »Katero pot je odšel Gospodov duh od mene, da govori tebi?«

24 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

Miha je rekel: »Glej, videl boš ta dan, ko boš šel v notranjo sobo, da se skriješ.«

25 Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;

Potem je Izraelov kralj rekel: »Vzemite Miha in ga odvedite nazaj k Amónu, voditelju mesta in h kraljevemu sinu Joášu

26 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this man in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.

ter recite: ›Tako govori kralj: ›Tega pajdaša postavita v ječo in ga hranita s kruhom stiske in z vodo stiske, dokler se ne vrnem v miru.‹«

27 And Micaiah said, If thou shalt certainly return in peace, then hath not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people.

Miha je rekel: »Če se zagotovo vrneš v miru, potem po meni ni govoril Gospod.« Rekel je [še]: »Prisluhnite vsa ve ljudstva.«

28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.

Tako sta Izraelov kralj in Judov kralj Józafat odšla gor do Ramót Gileáda.

29 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.

Izraelov kralj je Józafatu rekel: »Preoblekel se bom in šel v bitko, toda ti si nadeni svoja svečana oblačila.« Tako se je Izraelov kralj preoblekel in odšla sta na bitko.

30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, except only with the king of Israel.

Torej sirski kralj je zapovedal poveljnikom bojnih vozov, ki so bili z njim, rekoč: »Ne borite se z malim ali velikim, razen samo z Izraelovim kraljem.«

31 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they surrounded him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.

Pripetilo se je, ko so poveljniki bojnih vozov zagledali Józafata, da so rekli: »Ta je Izraelov kralj.« Zato so ga obdali, da se bojujejo, toda Józafat je zavpil in Gospod mu je pomagal in Bog jih je spodbodel, da odidejo od njega.

32 For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing him.

Kajti pripetilo se je, da ko so poveljniki bojnih vozov zaznali, da to ni bil Izraelov kralj, so se ponovno obrnili nazaj od zasledovanja [za] njim.

33 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the armour: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn thy hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.

Nek mož pa je preprosto napel lok in Izraelovega kralja zadel med člene prsnega oklepa. Zato je vozniku svojega bojnega voza rekel: »Obrni svojo roko, da me lahko odvedeš iz vojske, kajti ranjen sem.«

34 And the battle increased that day: yet the king of Israel held himself in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening: and about the time of the sun setting he died.

Bitka je ta dan narasla, vendar je Izraelov kralj sam stal pokonci na svojem bojnem vozu zoper Sirce do večera, okoli časa zahajanja sonca pa je umrl.
