1 Kings 18
1 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah, in the third year, saying: 'Go, show thyself unto Ahab, and I will send rain upon the land.'
Poslije mnogo vremena, treæe godine, doðe rijeè Gospodnja Iliji govoreæi: idi, pokaži se Ahavu, i pustiæu dažd na zemlju.
2 And Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab. And the famine was sore in Samaria.
I otide Ilija da se pokaže Ahavu, a bijaše velika glad u Samariji.
3 And Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. — Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly;
I Ahav dozva Avdiju, koji bijaše upravitelj dvora njegova; a Avdija se bojaše Gospoda veoma.
4 for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them fifty in a cave, and fed 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 unto Obadiah: 'Go through the land, unto all the springs of water, and unto all the brooks; peradventure we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the 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 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout 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 in the way, behold, Elijah met him; and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said: 'Is it 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 answered him: 'It is I; go, tell thy lord: Behold, Elijah is here.'
A on mu reèe: ja sam; idi, kaži gospodaru svojemu: evo Ilije.
9 And he said: 'Wherein have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
A on reèe: šta sam zgriješio, da slugu svojega predaš u ruke Ahavu da me pogubi?
10 As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee; and when they said: He is not here, he took an oath of the kingdom and 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, tell thy lord: Behold, Elijah is here.
A ti sada kažeš: idi, kaži gospodaru svojemu: evo Ilije.
12 And it will come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the spirit of the LORD will carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he will slay me; but I thy servant fear the LORD 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 the LORD, how I hid a hundred men of the LORD'S prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed 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, tell thy lord: Behold, Elijah is here; and he will slay me.'
A ti sada kažeš: idi, kaži gospodaru svojemu: evo Ilije. Ubiæe me.
15 And Elijah said: 'As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him to-day.'
A Ilija reèe: tako da je živ Gospod nad vojskama, pred kojim stojim, danas æu mu se pokazati.
16 So 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 unto him: 'Is it thou, thou troubler of Israel?'
A kad vidje Ahav Iliju, reèe mu Ahav: jesi li ti onaj što nesreæu donosiš na Izrailja?
18 And he answered: 'I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed the Baalim.
A on reèe: ne donosim ja nesreæe na Izrailja, nego ti i dom oca tvojega ostavivši zapovijesti Gospodnje i pristavši za Valima.
19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, that 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 And Ahab sent unto 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 And Elijah came near unto all the people, and said: 'How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow Him; but 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 Then said Elijah unto the people: 'I, even I only, am left a prophet of the LORD; but 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 lay it on the wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under.
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 god, and I will call on the name of the LORD; and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God.' And all the people answered and said: 'It is well spoken.'
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 unto the prophets of Baal: 'Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under.'
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 was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying: 'O Baal, answer us.' But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they danced in halting wise about the altar which was 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; either he is musing, or he is gone aside, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.'
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 lances, 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 was so, when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening offering; but their was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
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 And Elijah said unto all the people: 'Come near unto me'; and all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was thrown 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, unto whom the word of the LORD 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 the LORD; and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain 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.
I namjesti drva, i junca isjeèena na komade metnu na drva.
34 And he said: 'Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt-offering, and on the wood.' 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 of the evening offering, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said: 'O LORD, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of 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 at 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 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that Thou, LORD, art God, for Thou didst turn their heart backward.'
Usliši me, Gospode, usliši me, da bi poznao ovaj narod da si ti Gospode Bog, kad opet obratiš srca njihova.
38 Then the fire of the LORD 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 when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said: 'The LORD, He is God; the LORD, He is God.'
A narod kad to vidje sav popada nièice, i rekoše: Gospod je Bog, Gospod je Bog.
40 And Elijah said unto them: 'Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape.' And they took them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew 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 unto Ahab: 'Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.'
I reèe Ilija Ahavu: idi, jedi i pij, jer uji veliki dažd.
42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down upon 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 ariseth a cloud out of the sea, as small as a man's hand.' And he said: 'Go up, say unto Ahab: Make ready thy chariot, and get thee down, that the 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 a little while, that the heaven grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
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 the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
A ruka Gospodnja doðe nad Iliju, i on opasavši se otrèa pred Ahavom dokle doðe u Jezrael.
