2 Kralji 3

1 Torej Ahábov sin Jehorám je začel kraljevati nad Izraelom, v Samariji, v osemnajstem letu Judovega kralja Józafata in kraljeval je dvanajst let.

And Jehoram son of Ahab hath reigned over Israel, in Samaria, in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigneth twelve years,

2 Počel je zlo v Gospodovih očeh, toda ne kakor njegov oče in kakor njegova mati, kajti odstranil je Báalovo podobo, ki jo je naredil njegov oče.

and doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, only not like his father, and like his mother, and he turneth aside the standing-pillar of Baal that his father made;

3 Kljub temu se je trdno držal grehov Nebátovega sina Jerobeáma, ki je Izraela pripravil, da greši; ni odšel od njih.

only to the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin he hath cleaved, he hath not turned aside from it.

4 Moábski kralj Meša je bil lastnik ovc in je Izraelovemu kralju dajal sto tisoč jagnjet in sto tisoč ovnov, [skupaj] z volno.

And Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master, and he rendered to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, [with] wool,

5 Toda pripetilo se je, ko je bil Aháb mrtev, da se je moábski kralj uprl zoper Izraelovega kralja.

and it cometh to pass at the death of Ahab, that the king of Moab transgresseth against the king of Israel.

6 Kralj Jehorám je istočasno odšel iz Samarije in preštel ves Izrael.

And king Jehoram goeth out in that day from Samaria, and inspecteth all Israel,

7 Odšel je in poslal k Judovemu kralju Józafatu, rekoč: »Moábski kralj se je uprl zoper mene. Ali hočeš iti z menoj v bitko zoper Moáb?« Rekel je: »Šel bom gor. Jaz sem, kakor si ti, moje ljudstvo je kakor tvoje ljudstvo in moji konji kakor tvoji konji.«

and goeth and sendeth unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, 'The king of Moab hath transgressed against me; dost thou go with me unto Moab for battle?' and he saith, 'I go up, as I, so thou; as my people, so thy people; as my horses, so thy horses.

8 Rekel je: »Po kateri poti bomo šli gor?« Odgovoril je: »Po poti skozi edómsko divjino.«

And he saith, 'Where [is] this — the way we go up?' and he saith, 'The way of the wilderness of Edom.'

9 Tako so Izraelov kralj, Judov kralj in edómski kralj odšli in zaokrožili sedemdnevno potovanje in tam ni bilo vode za vojsko in živino, ki jim je sledila.

And the king of Israel goeth, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom, and they turn round the way seven days, and there hath been no water for the camp, and for the cattle that [are] at their feet,

10 Kralj Izraela je rekel: »Gorje, da je te tri kralje Gospod poklical skupaj, da jih izroči v roko Moába!«

and the king of Israel saith, 'Alas, for Jehovah hath called for these three kings, to give them into the hand of Moab.'

11 Toda Józafat je rekel: » Mar ni tukaj Gospodovega preroka, da bi po njem lahko poizvedel od Gospoda?« Eden izmed služabnikov Izraelovega kralja je odgovoril in rekel: »Tukaj je Šafátov sin Elizej, ki je izlival vodo na Elijeve roke.«

And Jehoshaphat saith, 'Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah, and we seek Jehovah by him?' And one of the servants of the king of Israel answereth and saith, 'Here [is] Elisha son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.'

12 Józafat je rekel: »Z njim je Gospodova beseda.« Tako so Izraelov kralj, Józafat in edómski kralj odšli dol k njemu.

And Jehoshaphat saith, 'The word of Jehovah is with him;' and go down unto him do the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom.

13 Elizej je rekel Izraelovemu kralju: »Kaj imam s teboj? Spravi se k prerokom svojega očeta in k prerokom svoje matere.« Izraelov kralj pa mu je rekel: »Ne, kajti Gospod je te tri kralje sklical skupaj, da jih izroči v roko Moába.«

And Elisha saith unto the king of Israel, 'What — to me and to thee? go unto the prophets of thy father, and unto the prophets of thy mother;' and the king of Israel saith to him, 'Nay, for Jehovah hath called for these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.'

14 Elizej je rekel: » Kakor živi Gospod nad bojevniki, pred katerim stojim, zagotovo, če se ne bi oziral na prisotnost Judovega kralja Józafata, ne bi pogledal proti tebi niti te ne bi videl.

And Elisha saith, 'Jehovah of Hosts liveth, before whom I have stood; for unless the face of Jehoshaphat king of Judah I am lifting up, I do not look unto thee, nor see thee;

15 Toda sedaj mi privedi glasbenika, ki igra na strune.« In pripetilo se je, ko je glasbenik igral, da je nadenj prišla Gospodova roka.

and now, bring to me a minstrel; and it hath been, at the playing of the minstrel, that the hand of Jehovah is on him,

16 Rekel je: »Tako govori Gospod: ›To dolino naredite polno jarkov.‹

and he saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, Make this valley ditches — ditches;

17 Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Ne boste videli vetra niti ne boste videli dežja, vendar bo ta dolina napolnjena z vodo, da boste lahko pili, tako vi, vaše govedo in vaše živali.‹

for thus said Jehovah, Ye do not see wind, nor do ye see rain, and that valley is full of water, and ye have drunk — ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.

18 To pa je le majhna stvar v Gospodovih očeh. Tudi Moábce bo izročil v vašo roko.

'And this hath been light in the eyes of Jehovah, and he hath given Moab into your hand,

19 Udarili boste vsako utrjeno mesto in vsako izbrano mesto in posekali vsako dobro drevo in zamašili vse vodnjake in vsak dober kraj dežele oškodovali s kamni.«

and ye have smitten every fenced city, and every choice city, and every good tree ye cause to fall, and all fountains of waters ye stop, and every good portion ye mar with stones.'

20 Pripetilo se je zjutraj, ko je bila darovana jedilna daritev, glej, da je prišla voda po poti iz Edóma in dežela je bila napolnjena z vodo.

And it cometh to pass in the morning, at the ascending of the [morning] -present, that lo, waters are coming in from the way of Edom, and the land is filled with the waters,

21 Ko so vsi Moábci slišali, da so prišli gor kralji, da se bojujejo zoper njih, so zbrali vse, ki so si bili zmožni nadeti bojno opremo in starejše in so se razpostavili na meji.

and all Moab have heard that the kings have come up to fight against them, and they are called together, from every one girding on a girdle and upward, and they stand by the border.

22 Vstali so zgodaj zjutraj in sonce je sijalo na vodo in Moábci so vodo na drugi strani videli tako rdečo kakor kri.

And they rise early in the morning, and the sun hath shone on the waters, and the Moabites see, from over-against, the waters red as blood,

23 Rekli so: »To je kri. Kralji so zagotovo umorjeni in so udarili drug drugega. Sedaj torej Moáb, k plenu.«

and say, 'Blood this [is]; the kings have been surely destroyed, and they smite each his neighbour; and now for spoil, Moab!'

24 Ko pa so prišli k taboru Izraelcev, so se Izraelci dvignili in udarili Moábce, tako da so le-ti pred njimi pobegnili. Toda šli so naprej in pobijali Moábce, celo v njihovi deželi.

And they come in unto the camp of Israel, and the Israelites rise, and smite the Moabites, and they flee from their face; and they enter into Moab, so as to smite Moab,

25 Podirali so mesta in na vsak dober kos dežele je vsak mož vrgel svoj kamen in napolnili so jo in zamašili so vse vodnjake in podrli vsa dobra drevesa, samo v Kir Heresu so pustili njegovo kamenje, vendar so okrog njega šli pračarji in ga udarili.

and the cities they break down, and [on] every good portion they cast each his stone, and have filled it, and every fountain of water they stop, and every good tree they cause to fall — till one had left its stones in Kir-Haraseth, and the slingers go round and smite it.

26 Ko je moábski kralj videl, da je bila bitka zanj prehuda, je s seboj vzel sedemsto mož, ki so izdirali meče, da se prebijejo k edómskemu kralju. Toda niso mogli.

And the king of Moab seeth that the battle has been too strong for him, and he taketh with him seven hundred men, drawing sword, to cleave through unto the king of Edom, and they have not been able,

27 Potem je vzel svojega najstarejšega sina, ki naj bi zakraljeval namesto njega in ga na obzidju daroval v žgalno daritev. In tam je bilo veliko ogorčenje zoper Izrael in odšli so od njega in se vrnili k svoji lastni deželi.

and he taketh his son, the first-born who reigneth in his stead, and causeth him to ascend — a burnt-offering on the wall, and there is great wrath against Israel, and they journey from off him, and turn back to the land.
