1 Kings 13
1 Behold, a man of God came out of Judah by Yahweh’s word to Bethel; and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.
A neki čovjek Božji dođe na riječ Jahvinu iz Judeje u Betel kada Jeroboam stajaše pred žrtvenikom da prinese kad.
2 He cried against the altar by Yahweh’s word, and said, “Altar! Altar! Yahweh says: ‘Behold, a son will be born to David’s house, Josiah by name. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men’s bones on you.’”
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!'”
3 He gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign which Yahweh has spoken: Behold, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out.”
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.”
4 When the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, 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.
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.
5 The altar was also split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by Yahweh’s word.
Žrtvenik se raspuknuo i pepeo se prosuo sa žrtvenika, prema znaku što ga je dao čovjek Božji po naredbi Jahvinoj.
6 The king answered the man of God, “Now intercede for the favor of Yahweh your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again.” The man of God interceded with Yahweh, and the king’s hand was restored to him again, and became as it was before.
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.
7 The king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”
Kralj onda reče čovjeku Božjem: “Hodi sa mnom kući da se okrijepiš. I dat ću ti dar.”
8 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;
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,
9 for so was it commanded me by Yahweh’s word, saying, ‘You shall eat no bread, drink no water, and don’t return by the way that you came.’”
jer mi je ovako zapovjeđeno riječju Jahvinom: 'Ne jedi kruha i ne pij vode, niti se vraćaj istim putem kojim si došao.'”
10 So he went another way, and didn’t return by the way that he came to Bethel.
I otišao je drugim putem, nije se vraćao putem kojim je došao u Betel.
11 Now an old prophet lived 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. They also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.
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.
12 Their father said to them, “Which way did he go?” Now his sons had seen which way the man of God went, who came from Judah.
A on ih upita: “Kojim je putem otišao?” Sinovi pokazaše put kojim je otišao čovjek Božji što bijaše došao iz Judeje.
13 He said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it.
Prorok će nato sinovima: “Osamarite mi magarca!” I osamariše mu magarca, a on uzjaha.
14 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.”
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.”
15 Then he said to him, “Come home with me and eat bread.”
Prorok mu reče: “Hodi sa mnom mome domu da štogod pojedeš.”
16 He said, “I may not return with you, nor go in with you. I will not eat bread or drink water with you in this place.
Ali on odgovori: “Ne smijem se vratiti s tobom, niti smijem jesti kruha ni piti vode na ovome mjestu,
17 For it was said to me by Yahweh’s word, ‘You shall eat no bread or drink water there, and don’t turn again to go by the way that you came.’”
jer mi je Jahvinom riječju naređeno ovo: 'Ne jedi ondje kruha, ne pij vode, niti se vraćaj putem kojim si onamo pošao'.”
18 He said to him, “I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by Yahweh’s word, saying, ‘Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.’” He lied to him.
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.
19 So he went back with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water.
Božji čovjek vrati se s njim, u njegovoj je kući jeo kruha i pio vode.
20 As they sat at the table, Yahweh’s word came to the prophet who brought him back;
Dok su sjedili za stolom, dođe riječ Jahvina proroku koji ga je natrag doveo
21 and he cried out to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Yahweh says, ‘Because you have been disobedient to Yahweh’s word, and have not kept the commandment which Yahweh your God commanded you,
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,
22 but came back, and have eaten bread and drank water in the place of which he said to you, “Eat no bread, and drink no water,” your body will not come to the tomb of your fathers.’”
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.”
23 After he had eaten bread and after he drank, he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.
Pošto se onaj koga bijaše doveo najeo kruha i napio vode, osedla mu magarca.
24 When he had gone, a lion met him by the way and killed him. His body was thrown on the path, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the body.
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.
25 Behold, men passed by and saw the body thrown on the path, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.
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.
26 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 Yahweh’s word. Therefore Yahweh has delivered him to the lion, which has mauled him and slain him, according to Yahweh’s word which he spoke to him.”
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.”
27 He said to his sons, saying, “Saddle the donkey for me,” and they saddled it.
I reče svojim sinovima: “Osamarite mi magarca!” I oni mu ga osamariše.
28 He went and found his body thrown on the path, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body nor mauled the donkey.
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.
29 The prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. He came to the city of the old prophet to mourn, and to bury him.
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.
30 He laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, “Alas, my brother!”
Položio je mrtvo tijelo u svoju grobnicu i jecao je nad njim: “Jao, brate moj!”
31 After he had buried him, he spoke to his sons, saying, “When I am dead, bury me in the tomb in which the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones.
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.
32 For the saying which he cried by Yahweh’s word against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely happen.”
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.”
33 After this thing, Jeroboam didn’t turn from his evil way, but again made priests of the high places from among all the people. Whoever wanted to, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places.
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.
34 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.
Takvim je postupkom padala u grijeh kuća Jeroboamova, rušila se i nestajala s lica zemlje.
