2 Kraljevima 6
1 Proročki sinovi rekoše Elizeju: “Gle, tijesan nam je prostor u tebe.
And sons of the prophet say to Elisha, “Now behold, the place where we are dwelling before you is too narrow for us;
2 Nego da odemo do Jordana, pa da svaki ondje uzmemo po brvno i načinimo sebi ondje prebivalište.” On odgovori: “Idite.”
please let us go to the Jordan, and we each take one beam from there, and we make a place there for ourselves to dwell there”; and he says, “Go.”
3 Jedan od njih reče mu: “Udostoj se poći sa svojim slugama.” On odgovori: “Hoću.”
And the one says, “Please be willing, and go with your servants”; and he says, “I go.”
4 I pođe s njima. Kad su stigli do Jordana, uzeše sjeći drva.
And he goes with them, and they come to the Jordan, and cut down the trees,
5 A dok je jedan od njih tesao gredu, pade mu sjekira u vodu i on povika: “Jao, gospodaru! I još je bila posuđena!”
and it comes to pass, the one is felling the beam, and the iron [ax head] has fallen into the water, and he cries and says, “Aah! My lord, for it was borrowed!”
6 A čovjek Božji upita ga: “Gdje je pala?” Onaj mu pokaza mjesto. Tada on odsiječe komad drveta, baci ga na ono mjesto i učini da sjekira ispliva.
And the man of God says, “To where has it fallen?” And he shows him the place, and he cuts a stick, and casts [it] there, and causes the iron to swim,
7 I reče: “Izvadi je!” I čovjek pruži ruku te je uze.
and says, “Raise [it] up for yourself”; and he puts forth his hand and takes it.
8 Aramejski kralj bio u ratu s Izraelom. Posavjetovao se sa svojim časnicima i rekao: “Podignite šatore na tom mjestu.”
And the king of Aram has been fighting against Israel, and takes counsel with his servants, saying, “At such and such a place [is] my encamping.”
9 Ali Elizej poruči izraelskom kralju: “Čuvaj se onoga mjesta jer su se Aramejci ondje utaborili.”
And the man of God sends to the king of Israel, saying, “Take heed of passing by this place, for the Arameans are coming down there”;
10 I kralj izraelski upozori ljude na mjesto za koje mu je rekao čovjek Božji. On je upozoravao i kralj se čuvao; a bilo je to više puta.
and the king of Israel sends to the place of which the man of God spoke to him, and warned him, and he is preserved there not [just] once and not [just] twice.
11 Srce aramejskog kralja uznemiri se zbog toga, pa on pozva svoje časnike te ih upita: “Nećete li mi reći tko od naših drži s kraljem Izraelovim?”
And the heart of the king of Aram is tossed about concerning this thing, and he calls to his servants and says to them, “Do you not declare to me who of us [is] for the king of Israel?”
12 Jedan od časnika odgovori: “Ne, gospodaru kralju; Elizej, prorok Izraelov, otkriva izraelskom kralju riječi koje kazuješ u svojoj spavaonici.”
And one of his servants says, “No, my lord, O king, for Elisha the prophet, who [is] in Israel, declares to the king of Israel the words that you speak in the inner part of your bed-chamber.”
13 On reče: “Idite i pogledajte gdje je, pa ću već poslati da ga uhvate.” I javiše mu: “Eno ga u Dotanu.”
And he says, “Go and see where he [is], and I send and take him”; and it is declared to him, saying, “Behold—in Dothan.”
14 Tada kralj posla onamo konje, kola i jake čete. Oni stigoše noću i opkoliše grad.
And he sends horses and chariot, and a heavy force there, and they come in by night, and go around against the city.
15 Ujutro, ustavši, čovjek Božji iziđe, a to oko grada stoji vojska s konjima i kolima! Njegov mu momak reče: “Ah, gospodaru moj, što nam je činiti?”
And the servant of the man of God rises early, and goes out, and behold, a force is surrounding the city, and horse and chariot, and his young man says to him, “Aah! My lord, how do we do?”
16 A on odgovori: “Ne boj se jer ih ima više s nama nego s njima.”
And he says, “Do not fear, for more [are] they who [are] with us than they who [are] with them.”
17 I Elizej se pomoli ovako: “Jahve, otvori mu oči da vidi!” I Jahve otvori oči momku i on vidje: gora oko Elizeja sva prekrivena ognjenim konjima i kolima!
And Elisha prays and says, “YHWH, please open his eyes, and he sees”; and YHWH opens the eyes of the young man, and he sees, and behold, the hill is full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
18 Kad su Aramejci sišli prema njemu, Elizej se ovako pomoli Jahvi: “Udari sljepoćom ove ljude!” I na riječ Elizejevu udari ih sljepoćom.
And they come down to it, and Elisha prays to YHWH and says, “Please strike this nation with blindness”; and He strikes them with blindness, according to the word of Elisha.
19 Elizej im reče: “Nije ovo put i nije ovo grad. Pođite za mnom, ja ću vas odvesti čovjeku koga tražite.” Ali ih odvede u Samariju.
And Elisha says to them, “This [is] not the way, nor [is] this the city; come after me, and I lead you to the man whom you seek”; and he leads them to Samaria.
20 Kad su ulazili u Samariju, Elizej reče: “Jahve, otvori ovima oči da progledaju.” Jahve im otvori oči i oni vidješe da su usred Samarije!
And it comes to pass, at their coming to Samaria, that Elisha says, “YHWH, open the eyes of these, and they see”; and YHWH opens their eyes, and they see, and behold, [they are] in the midst of Samaria!
21 Kad ih vidje kralj Izraela, reče Elizeju: “Treba li ih poubijati, oče moj?”
And the king of Israel says to Elisha at his seeing them, “My father, do I strike, do I strike?”
22 A on odgovori: “Nemoj ih ubiti. Zar ćeš ubiti one koje nisi zarobio svojim lukom i mačem? Ponudi im kruha i vode; neka jedu i piju i neka se vrate svome gospodaru.”
And he says, “You do not strike; are you striking those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, and they eat, and drink, and go to their lord.”
23 Kralj im priredi veliku gozbu. Pošto su jeli i pili, otpusti ih. I vratiše se svome gospodaru. I tako aramejski pljačkaši nisu više zalazili na izraelsko tlo.
And he prepares great provision for them, and they eat and drink, and he sends them away, and they go to their lord: and troops of Aram have not added to come into the land of Israel anymore.
24 Dogodi se poslije toga te aramejski kralj Ben-Hadad skupi svu svoju vojsku i uzađe i opkoli Samariju.
And it comes to pass afterward, that Ben-Hadad king of Aram gathers all his camp, and goes up, and lays siege to Samaria,
25 I nasta velika glad u Samariji, a opsada potraja toliko da je magareća glava stajala osamdeset šekela srebra, a četvrt kaba golubinje nečisti pet šekela srebra.
and there is a great famine in Samaria, and behold, they are laying siege to it, until the head of a donkey is at eighty pieces of silver, and a forth of the cab of dove’s dung at five pieces of silver.
26 Kada je kralj prolazio po zidinama, neka mu žena vikne: “Pomozi, gospodaru kralju!”
And it comes to pass, the king of Israel is passing by on the wall, and a woman has cried to him, saying, “Save, my lord, O king.”
27 On odgovori: “Neka ti pomogne Jahve! Kako ću ti ja pomoći? Nečim s gumna ili iz tijeska?”
And he says, “YHWH does not save you—from where do I save you? Out of the threshing-floor or out of the wine-vat?”
28 Još joj kralj reče: “Što ti je?” Ona odgovori: “Ova mi je žena rekla: 'Daj svoga sina da ga pojedemo danas, a sutra ćemo pojesti moga!'
And the king says to her, “What is [troubling] you?” And she says, “This woman said to me, Give your son, and we eat him today, and we eat my son tomorrow;
29 Skuhale smo moga sina i pojele ga. A sutradan rekoh joj: 'Daj svoga sina da ga pojedemo.' Ali je ona sakrila svoga sina.”
and we boil my son and eat him, and I say to her on the next day, Give your son, and we eat him; and she hides her son.”
30 Kada je kralj čuo riječi te žene, razdrije na sebi haljine. I kad je išao po zidinama, narod vidje da mu je na tijelu kostrijet.
And it comes to pass, at the king’s hearing the words of the woman, that he tears his garments, and he is passing by on the wall, and the people see, and behold, the sackcloth [is] within on his flesh.
31 I reče tada kralj: “Neka mi Bog učini ovo zlo i doda drugo ako glava Elizeja, sina Šafatova, ostane danas na njegovim ramenima!”
And he says, “Thus God does to me and thus He adds, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains on him this day.”
32 Elizej sjedio u svojoj kući i starješine sjedile s njim. Kralj je ispred sebe poslao glasnika, ali Elizej reče starješinama, prije nego što je glasnik stigao do njega: “Vidite li da je onaj krvnički sin naredio da mi skinu glavu? Pazite: kada glasnik stigne, zatvorite vrata i odbijte ga od vrata. Ne čuje li se topot koraka njegova gospodara za njim?”
And Elisha is sitting in his house, and the elderly are sitting with him, and [the king] sends a man from before him; before the messenger comes to him, even he himself said to the elderly, “Have you seen that this son of the murderer has sent [him] to turn aside my head? See, at the coming in of the messenger, shut the door, and you have held him fast at the door, is not the sound of the feet of his lord behind him?”
33 Dok im je još govorio, kralj stupi preda nj i reče mu: “Ova je nevolja, gle, od Jahve! Što da još očekujem od Jahve?”
He is yet speaking with them, and behold, the messenger is coming down to him, and he says, “Behold, this [is] the calamity from YHWH; why do I wait for YHWH anymore?”
