1 Kings 18
1 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of Jehovah came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself to Ahab; and I will send rain upon the face of the earth.
Poslije mnogo vremena, treæe godine, doðe rijeè Gospodnja Iliji govoreæi: idi, pokaži se Ahavu, i pustiæu dažd na zemlju.
2 And Elijah went to shew himself to Ahab. And the famine was severe in Samaria.
I otide Ilija da se pokaže Ahavu, a bijaše velika glad u Samariji.
3 And Ahab called Obadiah, who was the steward of his house (now Obadiah feared Jehovah greatly;
I Ahav dozva Avdiju, koji bijaše upravitelj dvora njegova; a Avdija se bojaše Gospoda veoma.
4 and it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and maintained them with bread and water);
Jer kad Jezavelja ubijaše proroke Gospodnje, uze Avdija sto proroka, i sakri ih, po pedeset u jednu peæinu, i hrani ih hljebom i vodom.
5 and Ahab said to Obadiah, Go through the land, to all the fountains of water and to all the torrents, perhaps we may find grass to save the horses and the mules alive, so that we may not have to destroy some of [our] beasts.
I reèe Ahav Avdiji: poði po zemlji na izvore i na potoke, eda bismo našli trave da saèuvamo u životu konje i mazge, da nam ne izgine stoka.
6 And they divided the land between them to pass through it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
I podijeliše meðu se zemlju kuda æe iæi; Ahav otide jednijem putem sam, a Avdija otide drugim putem sam.
7 And as Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him; and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it indeed thou, my lord Elijah?
A kad Avdija bijaše na putu, gle, srete ga Ilija; i on ga pozna, i pade nièice, i reèe: jesi li ti, gospodaru moj Ilija?
8 And he said to him, I [am he]: go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah!
A on mu reèe: ja sam; idi, kaži gospodaru svojemu: evo Ilije.
9 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou givest thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to put me to death?
A on reèe: šta sam zgriješio, da slugu svojega predaš u ruke Ahavu da me pogubi?
10 As Jehovah thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom whither my lord has not sent to seek thee; and when they said, He is not [here], he took an oath of the kingdom or nation that they found thee not.
Tako da je živ Gospod Bog tvoj, nema naroda ni carstva kuda nije slao gospodar moj da te traže: i rekoše: nema ga. A on zakle carstva i narode da te ne mogu da naðu.
11 And now thou sayest, Go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah!
A ti sada kažeš: idi, kaži gospodaru svojemu: evo Ilije.
12 And it shall come to pass when I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of Jehovah shall carry thee whither I know not; and when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he will kill me; and I thy servant fear Jehovah from my youth.
A kad ja otidem od tebe, duh æe te Gospodnji odnijeti, a ja neæu znati kuda; pa da otidem i prokažem Ahavu, a on da te ne naðe, ubiæe me; a sluga se tvoj boji Gospoda od mladosti svoje.
13 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid a hundred men of Jehovah's prophets by fifty in a cave, and maintained them with bread and water?
Nije li kazano gospodaru mojemu šta sam uèinio kad Jezavelja ubijaše proroke Gospodnje? kako sakrih stotinu proroka Gospodnjih, po pedeset u jednu peæinu, i hranih ih hljebom i vodom.
14 And now thou sayest, Go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah! and he will kill me.
A ti sada kažeš: idi, kaži gospodaru svojemu: evo Ilije. Ubiæe me.
15 And Elijah said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will certainly shew myself to him to-day.
A Ilija reèe: tako da je živ Gospod nad vojskama, pred kojim stojim, danas æu mu se pokazati.
16 Then Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah.
Tada otide Avdija pred Ahava, i kaza mu; i Ahav otide pred Iliju.
17 And it came to pass when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Is it thou, the troubler of Israel?
A kad vidje Ahav Iliju, reèe mu Ahav: jesi li ti onaj što nesreæu donosiš na Izrailja?
18 And he said, I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of Jehovah, and thou hast followed the Baals.
A on reèe: ne donosim ja nesreæe na Izrailja, nego ti i dom oca tvojega ostavivši zapovijesti Gospodnje i pristavši za Valima.
19 And now send, gather to me all Israel to mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, who eat at Jezebel's table.
Nego sada pošlji i saberi k meni svega Izrailja na goru Karmilsku, i èetiri stotine i pedeset proroka Valovijeh i èetiri stotine proroka iz luga, koji jedu za stolom Jezaveljinim.
20 So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
I posla Ahav k svijem sinovima Izrailjevijem, i sabra one proroke na goru Karmilsku.
21 Then Elijah drew near to all the people, and said, How long do ye halt between two opinions? if Jehovah be God, follow him; and if Baal, follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
Tada pristupi Ilija ka svemu narodu i reèe: dokle æete hramati na obje strane? Ako je Gospod Bog, idite za njim; ako li je Val, idite za njim. Ali narod ne odgovori mu ni rijeèi.
22 And Elijah said to the people, I, only I, remain a prophet of Jehovah; and Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
A Ilija reèe narodu: ja sam sam ostao prorok Gospodnji; a proroka Valovijeh ima èetiri stotine i pedeset.
23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks: and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and put it on the wood, and put no fire; and I will sacrifice the other bullock, and put it on the wood, and put no fire.
Dajte nam dva junca, i neka oni izberu sebi jednoga, i neka ga isijeku na komade i metnu na drva, ali ognja da ne podmeæu; a ja æu prigotoviti drugoga junca, i metnuæu ga na drva, ali ognja neæu podmetati.
24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of Jehovah; and the god that answers by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, The word is good.
Tada prizovite ime svojih bogova, a ja æu prizvati ime Gospodnje, pa koji se Bog odzove ognjem onaj neka je Bog. I sav narod odgovori i reèe: dobro reèe.
25 And Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose one bullock for yourselves, and sacrifice it first; for ye are the many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire.
Potom reèe Ilija prorocima Valovijem: izaberite sebi jednoga junca i prigotovite ga prvo, jer je vas više; i prizovite ime bogova svojih, ali ognja ne podmeæite.
26 And they took the bullock which had been given them, and sacrificed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, O Baal, answer us! But there was no voice, and none answered. And they leaped about the altar that had been made.
I uzeše junca, kojega im dade, i prigotoviše, i stadoše prizivati ime Valovo od jutra do podne govoreæi: Vale, usliši nas! Ali ni kaka glasa ni koga da odgovori. I skakahu oko oltara, koji naèiniše.
27 And it came to pass at noon that Elijah mocked them and said, Cry aloud; for he is a god; for he is meditating, or gone aside, or he is on a journey; perhaps he sleeps, and will awake.
A kad bi u podne, stade im se rugati Ilija govoreæi: vièite veæma; jer je on bog! valjada se nešto zamislio, ili je u poslu, ili na putu, ili može biti spava, da se probudi.
28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with swords and spears, till the blood gushed out upon them.
A oni stadoše vikati iza glasa, i parati se nožima i šilima po svom obièaju, dokle ih krv ne obli.
29 And it came to pass when midday was past, that they prophesied until the [time] of the offering up of the oblation; but there was neither voice, nor any that answered, nor any attention.
A kad proðe podne, stadoše prorokovati dokle doðe vrijeme da se prinese dar; ali ni kaka glasa ni koga da odgovori, ni koga da èuje.
30 Then Elijah said to all the people, Draw near to me. And all the people drew near to him. And he repaired the altar of Jehovah which was broken down.
Tada reèe Ilija svemu narodu: pristupite k meni. I pristupi k njemu sav narod. Tada on opravi oltar Gospodnji koji bješe razvaljen.
31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of Jehovah came saying, Israel shall be thy name;
I uze Ilija dvanaest kamena prema broju plemena sinova Jakova, kojemu doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi: Izrailj æe ti biti ime.
32 and with the stones he built an altar in the name of Jehovah, and made a trench round about the altar, of the capacity of two measures of seed;
I naèini od toga kamenja oltar u ime Gospodnje, i oko oltara iskopa opkop širok da bi se mogle posijati dvije mjere žita.
33 and he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four pitchers with water, and pour it on the burnt-offering, and on the wood.
I namjesti drva, i junca isjeèena na komade metnu na drva.
34 And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.
I reèe: napunite èetiri vijedra vode, i izlijte na žrtvu i na drva. Pa opet reèe: uèinite još jednom. I uèiniše još jednom. Pa opet reèe: uèinite i treæom. I uèiniše treæom,
35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
Te voda poteèe oko oltara, i napuni se opkop vode.
36 And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering up of the oblation, that Elijah the prophet drew near, and said, Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things by thy word.
A kad bi vrijeme da se prinese žrtva, pristupi Ilija prorok i reèe: Gospode Bože Avramov, Isakov i Izrailjev, neka danas poznadu da si ti Bog u Izrailju i ja da sam tvoj sluga, i da sam po tvojoj rijeèi uèinio sve ovo.
37 Answer me, Jehovah, answer me, that this people may know that thou Jehovah art God, and [that] thou hast turned their heart back again.
Usliši me, Gospode, usliši me, da bi poznao ovaj narod da si ti Gospode Bog, kad opet obratiš srca njihova.
38 And the fire of Jehovah fell, and consumed the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
Tada pade oganj Gospodnji i spali žrtvu paljenicu i drva i kamen i prah, i vodu u opkopu popi.
39 And all the people saw [it], and they fell on their faces and said, Jehovah, he is God! Jehovah, he is God!
A narod kad to vidje sav popada nièice, i rekoše: Gospod je Bog, Gospod je Bog.
40 And Elijah said to them, Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape! And they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the torrent of Kishon, and slaughtered them there.
Tada im reèe Ilija: pohvatajte te proroke Valove da nijedan ne uteèe. I pohvataše ih, i Ilija ih odvede na potok Kison, i pokla ih ondje.
41 And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
I reèe Ilija Ahavu: idi, jedi i pij, jer uji veliki dažd.
42 And Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed down on the earth, and put his face between his knees.
I otide Ahav da jede i pije; a Ilija se pope na vrh Karmila, i saže se k zemlji i metnu lice svoje meðu koljena svoja.
43 And he said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up and looked, and said, [There is] nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
A momku svojemu reèe: idi, pogledaj put mora. A on otišav pogleda, pa reèe: nema ništa. I reèe mu: idi opet sedam puta.
44 And it came to pass at the seventh time that he said, Behold there is a cloud, small as a man's hand, arising out of the sea. And he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Harness and go down, that the pour of rain stop thee not.
A kad bi sedmi put, reèe: eno, mali oblak kao dlan èovjeèji diže se od mora. Tada reèe: idi, reci Ahavu: preži i idi, da te ne uhvati dažd.
45 And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heavens became black [with] clouds and wind, and there was a great pour of rain. And Ahab got on the chariot, and went to Jizreel.
Utom se zamraèi nebo od oblaka i vjetra, i udari velik dažd. A Ahav sjedavši na kola otide u Jezrael.
46 And the hand of Jehovah was upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jizreel.
A ruka Gospodnja doðe nad Iliju, i on opasavši se otrèa pred Ahavom dokle doðe u Jezrael.
