Kings IV 7

1 And Elisaie said, Hear you the word of the Lord; Thus says the Lord, As at this time, to-morrow a measure of fine flour [shall be sold] for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gates of Samaria.

Tada reèe Jelisije: èujte rijeè Gospodnju: tako veli Gospod: sjutra æe u ovo doba biti mjera bijeloga brašna za sikal a dvije mjere jeèma za sikal na vratima Samarijskim.

2 And the officer on whose hand the king rested, answered Elisaie, and said, Behold, [if] the Lord shall make flood-gates in heaven, might this thing be? and Elisaie said, Behold, you shall see with your eyes, but shall not eat thereof.

A vojvoda, na kojega se ruku car naslanjaše, odgovori èovjeku Božijemu i reèe: da Gospod naèini okna na nebu, bi li moglo to biti? A Jelisije reèe: eto, ti æeš vidjeti svojim oèima, ali ga neæeš jesti.

3 And there were four leprous men by the gate of the city: and one said to his neighbor, Why sit we here until we die?

A bijahu na vratima èetiri èovjeka gubava, i rekoše jedan drugomu: što sjedimo ovdje da umremo?

4 If we should say, Let us go into the city, then [there is] famine in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit here, then we shall die. Now then come, and let us fall upon the camp of the Syrians: if they should take us alive, then we shall live; and if they should put us to death, then we shall [only] die.

Da reèemo: da uðemo u grad, glad je u gradu, te æemo umrijeti ondje: a da ostanemo ovdje, opet æemo umrijeti; nego hajde da uskoèimo u oko Sirski: ako nas ostave u životu, ostaæemo u životu, ako li nas pogube, poginuæemo.

5 And they rose up while it was yet night, to go into the camp of Syria; and they came into a part of the camp of Syria, and behold, there [was] no man there.

I tako ustavši u sumrak poðoše u oko Sirski, i doðoše do kraja okola Sirskoga, i gle, ne bješe nikoga.

6 For the Lord had made the army of Syria to hear a sound of chariots, and a sound of horses, [even] the sound of a great host: and [each] man said to his fellow, Now has the king of Israel hired against us the kings of the Chettites, and the kings of Egypt, to come against us.

Jer Gospod uèini te se u okolu Sirskom èu lupa kola i konja i velike vojske, te rekoše jedan drugomu: eto car je Izrailjev najmio na nas careve Hetejske i careve Misirske da udare na nas.

7 And they arose and fled while it was yet dark, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses in the camp, as they were, and fled for their lives.

Te se podigoše i pobjegoše po mraku ostavivši šatore svoje i konje svoje i magarce svoje i oko kao što je bio, i pobjegoše radi duša svojih.

8 And these lepers entered a little way into the camp, and went into one tent, and ate and drank, and took thence silver, and gold, and raiment; and they went and returned thence, and entered into another tent, and took thence, and went and hid [the spoil].

Pa kad doðoše gubavci na kraj okola, uðoše u jedan šator, i najedoše se i napiše se, i pokupiše iz njega srebro i zlato i haljine, i otidoše te sakriše. Pa se vratiše i uðoše u drugi šator, pa pokupiše i iz njega, i otidoše te sakriše.

9 And [one] man said to his neighbor, We are not doing [well] thus: this day is a day of glad tidings, and we hold our peace, and are waiting till the morning light, and shall find mischief: now them come, and let us go into [the city], and report to the house of the king.

Tada rekoše meðu sobom: ne radimo dobro; ovaj je dan dan dobrijeh glasova; a mi šutimo. Ako ušèekamo do zore, stignuæe nas bezakonje. Zato sada hajde da idemo i javimo domu carevu.

10 So they went and cried toward the gate of the city, and reported to them, saying, We went into the camp of Syria, and, behold, there is not there a man, nor voice of man, only horses tied and asses, and their tents as they were.

I tako došavši dozvaše vratara gradskoga i kazaše mu govoreæi: idosmo u oko Sirski, i gle, nema nikoga, ni glasa èovjeèijega; nego konji povezani i magarci povezani, i šatori kako su bili.

11 And the porters cried aloud, and reported to the house of the king within.

A on dozva ostale vratare, i javiše u dom carev.

12 And the king rose up by night, and said to his servants, I will now tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They knew that we are hungry; and they have gone forth from the camp and hidden themselves in the field, saying, They will come out of the city, and we shall catch them alive, and go into the city.

A car ustavši po noæi reèe slugama svojim: kazaæu vam sada šta su nam uèinili Sirci. Znadu da gladujemo, zato otidoše iz okola da se sakriju u polju govoreæi: kad izidu iz grada, pohvataæemo ih žive i uæi æemo u grad.

13 And one of his servants answered and said, Let them now take five of the horses that were left, which were left here; behold, they are the number left to all the multitude of Israel; and we will send there and see.

A jedan od sluga njegovijeh odgovori i reèe: da uzmemo pet ostalijeh konja što još ima u gradu; gle, to je sve što je ostalo od mnoštva konja Izrailjskih; to je sve što nije izginulo od mnoštva konja Izrailjskih; da pošljemo da vidimo.

14 So they took two horsemen; and the king of Israel sent after the king of Syria, saying, Go, and see.

I uzeše dva konja kolska, koje posla car za vojskom Sirskom, govoreæi: idite i vidite.

15 And they went after them even to Jordan: and, behold, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their panic. and the messengers returned, and brought word to the king.

I otidoše za njima do Jordana, i gle, po svemu putu bijaše puno haljina i sudova, koje pobacaše Sirci u hitnji. Tada se vratiše poslanici i javiše caru.

16 And the people went out, and plundered the camp of Syria: and a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord, and two measures of barley for a shekel.

Tada izide narod i razgrabi oko Sirski; i bješe mjera bijeloga brašna za sikal, i dvije mjere jeèma za sikal, po rijeèi Gospodnjoj.

17 And the king appointed the officer on whose hand the king leaned [to have charge] over the gate: and the people trampled on him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God [had] said, who spoke when the messenger came down to him.

I car postavi na vrata onoga vojvodu, na kojega se ruku naslanjaše, a narod ga izgazi na vratima, te umrije, po rijeèi èovjeka Božijega, koju reèe kad car k njemu doðe.

18 So it came to pass as Elisaie had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley [shall be sold] for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel; and it shall be as at this time to-morrow in the gate of Samaria.

Jer kad èovjek Božji reèe caru: dvije mjere jeèma za sikal i mjera bijeloga brašna za sikal biæe sjutra u ovo doba na vratima Samarijskim,

19 And the officer answered Elisaie, and said, Behold, [if] the Lord makes flood-gates in heaven, shall this thing be? and Elisaie said, Behold, you shall see [it] with your eyes, but you shall not eat thereof.

A onaj vojvoda odgovori èovjeku Božijemu govoreæi: da Gospod naèini okna na nebu, bi li moglo biti što kažeš? A Jelisije reèe: ti æeš vidjeti svojim oèima, ali ga neæeš jesti.

20 And it was so: for the people trampled on him in the gate, and he died.

I zbi mu se to, jer ga izgazi narod na vratima, te umrije.
