2 Књига о царевима 3
1 А Јорам, син Ахавов, зацари се над Израиљем у Самарији осамнаесте године царовања Јосафатовог над Јудом, и царова дванаест година.
And Jehoram, the son of Ahab, became king over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of the rule of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah; and he was king for twelve years.
2 И чињаше што је зло пред Господом, али не као отац његов и као мати његова, јер обори лик Валов који беше начинио отац његов.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord; but not like his father and his mother, for he put away the stone pillar of Baal which his father had made.
3 Али оста у гресима Јеровоама, сина Наватовог, којима наведе на грех Израиља, и не одступи од њих.
But still he did the same sins which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do; he went on in them.
4 А Миса цар моавски имаше много стоке, и даваше цару Израиљевом сто хиљада јагањаца и сто хиљада овнова под руном.
Now Mesha, king of Moab, was a sheep-farmer; and he gave regularly to the king of Israel the wool from a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand sheep.
5 Али кад умре Ахав, одметну се цар моавски од цара Израиљевог.
But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab got free from the authority of the king of Israel.
6 А цар Јорам изађе у то време из Самарије и преброја свега Израиља.
At that time, King Jehoram went out from Samaria and got all Israel together in fighting order.
7 И отиде, те посла к Јосафату цару Јудином и поручи му: Цар моавски одметну се од мене; хоћеш ли ићи са мном на војску на Моавце? А он рече: Хоћу, ја као ти, мој народ као твој народ, моји коњи као твоји коњи.
And he sent to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has got free from my authority: will you go with me to make war on Moab? And he said, I will go with you: I am as you are, my people as your people, and my horses as your horses.
8 Иза тога рече: А којим ћемо путем ићи? А он рече: Преко пустиње едомске.
And he said, Which way are we to go? And he said in answer, By the waste land of Edom.
9 И тако изађе цар Израиљев и цар Јудин и цар едомски, и идоше путем седам дана, и не беше воде војсци ни стоци, која иђаше за њима.
So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom by a roundabout way for seven days: and there was no water for the army or for the beasts they had with them.
10 И рече цар Израиљев: Јаох! Дозва Господ ова три цара да их преда у руке Моавцима.
And the king of Israel said, Here is trouble: for the Lord has got these three kings together to give them into the hands of Moab.
11 А Јосафат рече: Има ли ту који пророк Господњи да упитамо Господа преко њега? А један између слуга цара Израиљевог одговори и рече: Овде је Јелисије, син Сафатов, који је Илији поливао водом руке.
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no prophet of the Lord here, through whom we may get directions from the Lord? And one of the king of Israel's men said in answer, Elisha, the son of Shaphat, is here, who was servant to Elijah.
12 Тада рече Јосафату: У њега је реч Господња: и отидоше к њему цар Израиљев и Јосафат и цар едомски.
And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the Lord is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13 А Јелисије рече цару Израиљевом: Шта је мени до тебе? Иди ка пророцима оца свог и ка пророцима матере своје. А цар Израиљев рече му: Не, јер Господ дозва ова три цара да их преда у руке Моавцима.
But Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? go to the prophets of your father and your mother. And the king of Israel said, No; for the Lord has got these three kings together to give them up into the hands of Moab.
14 А Јелисије рече: Тако да је жив Господ над војскама, пред којим стојим, да не гледам на Јосафата цара Јудиног, не бих марио за те нити бих те погледао.
Then Elisha said, By the life of the Lord of armies whose servant I am, if it was not for the respect I have for Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, I would not give a look at you, or see you.
15 Него сада доведите ми гудача. И кад гудач гуђаше, дође рука Господња нада њ;
But now, get me a player of music, and it will come about that while the man is playing, the hand of the Lord will come on me and I will give you the word of the Lord: and they got a player of music, and while the man was playing, the hand of the Lord was on him.
16 И рече: Овако вели Господ: Начините по овој долини много јама.
And he said, The Lord says, I will make this valley full of water-holes.
17 Јер овако вели Господ: Нећете осетити ветра нити ћете видети дажда, али ће се долина ова напунити воде, те ћете пити и ви и људи ваши и стока ваша.
For the Lord says, Though you see no wind or rain, the valley will be full of water, and you and your armies and your beasts will have drink.
18 Па и то је мало Господу, него и Моавце ће вам предати у руке.
And this will be only a small thing to the Lord: in addition he will give the Moabites into your hands.
19 И раскопаћете све тврде градове, и све изабране градове, и посећи ћете сва добра дрвета и заронити све изворе водене, и сваку њиву добру потрћете камењем.
And you are to put every walled town to destruction, cutting down every good tree, and stopping up every water-spring, and making all the good land rough with stones.
20 А ујутру кад се приноси дар, гле, дође вода од едомске, и напуни се земља воде.
Now in the morning, about the time when the offering was made, they saw water flowing from the direction of Edom till the country was full of water.
21 А сви Моавци чувши да су изишли цареви да ударе на њих, сазваше све који се почињаху пасати и старије и стадоше на међи.
Now all Moab, hearing that the kings had come to make war against them, got together all who were able to take up arms and went forward to the edge of the country.
22 А ујутру кад усташе и сунце ограну над оном водом, угледаше Моавци према себи воду где се црвени као крв.
And early in the morning they got up, when the sun was shining on the water, and they saw the water facing them as red as blood.
23 И рекоше: Крв је; побили су се цареви, и један другог погубили; сада дакле на плен, Моавци!
Then they said, This is blood: it is clear that destruction has come on the kings; they have been fighting one another: now come, Moab, let us take their goods.
24 А кад дођоше до логора Израиљевог, подигоше се Израиљци и разбише Моавце, те побегоше испред њих, а они уђоше у земљу моавску бијући их.
But when they came to the tents of Israel, the Israelites came out and made a violent attack on the Moabites, so that they went in flight before them; and they went forward still attacking them;
25 И градове њихове раскопаше, и на сваку добру њиву бацајући сваки по камен засуше је, и све изворе водене заронише, и сва добра дрвета посекоше тако да само оставише камење у Кир-аресету. И опколивши га праћари стадоше га бити.
Pulling down the towns, covering every good field with stones, stopping up all the water-springs, and cutting down all the good trees; they went on driving Moab before them till only in Kir-hareseth were there any Moabites; and the fighting-men went round the town raining stones on it.
26 А цар моавски кад виде да ће га надвладати војска, узе са собом седам стотина људи, који махаху мачем, да продру кроз војску цара едомског, али не могоше.
And when the king of Moab saw that the fight was going against him, he took with him seven hundred men armed with swords, with the idea of forcing a way through to the king of Aram, but they were not able to do so.
27 Тада узе сина свог првенца који хтеде бити цар на његово место, и принесе га на жртву паљеницу на зиду. Тада се подиже велики гнев на Израиља, те отидоше оданде и вратише се у своју земљу.
Then he took his oldest son, who would have been king after him, offering him as a burned offering on the wall. So there was great wrath against Israel; and they went away from him, back to their country.
