< 2 Kings 1 >

1 Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab:
Poslije smrti Ahabove pobuni se Moab protiv Izraela.
2 And Ahaziah fell thorow the lattesse windowe in his vpper chamber which was in Samaria: so he was sicke: then he sent messengers, to whome he saide, Goe, and enquire of Baal-zebub the God of Ekron, if I shall recouer of this my disease.
Kako Ahazja bijaše pao preko prozorske rešetke svoje gornje odaje u Samariji i ozlijedio se, posla glasnike kojima reče: “Idite, pitajte Baal Zebuba, boga ekronskog, hoću li ozdraviti od ove bolesti.”
3 Then the Angel of the Lord said to Eliiah the Tishbite, Arise, and goe vp to meete the messengers of the King of Samaria, and say vnto them, Is it not because there is no God in Israel, that ye goe to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?
Ali je Anđeo Jahvin rekao Iliji Tišbijcu: “Ustani! Idi u susret glasnicima samarijanskoga kralja i reci im: 'Zar nema Boga u Izraelu te se idete savjetovati s Baal Zebubom, bogom ekronskim?'
4 Wherefore thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not come downe from the bed on which thou art gone vp, but shalt die the death. So Eliiah departed.
I zato veli Jahve ovako: 'Nećeš sići s postelje u koju si se popeo; sigurno ćeš umrijeti.'” I ode Ilija.
5 And the messengers returned vnto him, to whome he said, Why are ye nowe returned?
Glasnici se vratiše k Ahazji, a on im reče: “Kako to da ste se već vratili?”
6 And they answered him, There came a man and met vs, and saide vnto vs, Goe, and returne vnto the King which sent you, and say vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Is it not because there is no God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baal-zebub the God of Ekron? Therefore thou shalt not come downe from the bed, on which thou art gone vp, but shalt die ye death.
Oni mu odgovoriše: “Sreo nas neki čovjek i rekao nam: 'Idite, vratite se pred kralja koji vas je poslao i recite mu: Ovako veli Jahve: Zar nema Boga u Izraelu te si poslao po savjet k Baal Zebubu, bogu ekronskom? Zato nećeš sići s postelje na koju si se popeo, nego ćeš umrijeti.'”
7 And he saide vnto them, What maner of man was he which came and met you, and tolde you these wordes?
On ih upita: “Kakav bijaše na oči taj čovjek koji vas je sreo i rekao vam te riječi?”
8 And they said vnto him, He was an hearie man, and girded with a girdle of lether about his loynes. Then sayde he, It is Eliiah the Tishbite.
A oni mu odgovoriše: “Bio je to čovjek u kožuhu i s kožnim pojasom oko bedara.” On reče: “To je Ilija Tišbijac!”
9 Therefore the King sent vnto him a captaine ouer fiftie with his fiftie men, who went vp vnto him: for beholde, he sate on the toppe of a mountaine, and he saide vnto him, O man of God, the King hath commanded that thou come downe.
Tada mu posla pedesetnika s njegovom pedesetoricom i ode taj k njemu i, našavši ga gdje sjedi na vrhu brijega, reče mu: “Čovječe Božji! Kralj je naredio: Siđi!”
10 But Eliiah answered, and saide to the captaine ouer the fiftie, If that I be a man of God, let fire come downe from the heauen, and deuoure thee and thy fiftie. So fire came downe from the heauen and deuoured him and his fiftie.
Ilija odgovori i reče pedesetniku: “Ako sam čovjek Božji, neka oganj siđe s neba i neka te proguta, tebe i tvoju pedesetoricu.” I oganj se spusti s neba i proguta ga, njega i njegovu pedesetoricu.
11 Againe also he sent vnto him another captaine ouer fiftie, with his fiftie. Who spake, and saide vnto him, O man of God, thus the King commandeth, Come downe quickely.
Kralj mu posla drugoga pedesetnika i njegovu pedesetoricu; a taj, kad dođe, reče mu: “Čovječe Božji! Kralj je ovo zapovjedio: Brže siđi!”
12 But Eliiah answered, and saide vnto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come downe from the heauen, and deuoure thee and thy fiftie. So fire came downe from the heauen, and deuoured him and his fiftie.
Ilija odgovori i reče mu: “Ako sam čovjek Božji, neka siđe oganj s neba i proguta tebe i tvoju pedesetoricu.” I spusti se oganj s neba i proguta ga, njega i njegovu pedesetoricu.
13 Yet againe he sent the third captaine ouer fiftie with his fiftie. And the thirde captaine ouer fiftie went vp, and came, and fell on his knees before Eliiah, and besought him, and saide vnto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life and the life of these thy fiftie seruants be precious in thy sight.
Kralj posla opet trećega pedesetnika i njegovu pedesetoricu. Treći pedesetnik dođe, prignu koljena pred Ilijom i zamoli ga ovako: “Čovječe Božji! Neka bude dragocjen u tvojim očima moj život i život ovih pedeset tvojih slugu!
14 Beholde, there came fire downe from the heauen and deuoured the two former captaines ouer fiftie with their fifties: therefore let my life nowe be precious in thy sight.
Oganj se spustio s neba i progutao je oba pedesetnika s njihovom pedesetoricom; ali sada neka barem moj život bude dragocjen u tvojim očima!”
15 And the Angel of the Lord said vnto Eliiah, Goe downe with him, be not afraide of his presence. So he arose, and went downe with him vnto the King.
Anđeo Jahvin reče Iliji: “Siđi s njim, ne boj se!” On ustade i siđe s njim pred kralja
16 And he saide vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, (was it not because there was no God in Israel to inquire of his worde?) therefore thou shalt not come downe off the bed, on which thou art gone vp, but shalt die the death.
i reče mu: “Ovako veli Jahve: zato što si slao glasnike Baal Zebubu, bogu ekronskom, po savjet, nećeš sići s postelje na koju si se popeo, nego ćeš umrijeti.”
17 So he dyed according to the worde of the Lord which Eliiah had spoken. And Iehoram began to reigne in his steade, in the seconde yeere of Iehoram the sonne of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, because he had no sonne.
I umrije po riječi Jahvinoj koju je objavio Ilija. A Joram, njegov brat, zakralji se mjesto njega druge godine Jorama, sina Jošafata, judejskoga kralja, jer ovaj nije imao sinova.
18 Concerning the rest of the actes of Ahaziah, that he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Ostala povijest Ahazje, sve što je učinio, zar to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva izraelskih?
