1 Kings 21
1 King Ahab had a palace in Jezreel [city]. Near the palace was a vineyard owned by a man from that city whose name was Naboth.
А после ових ствари догоди се: Навутеј Језраељанин имаше виноград у Језраелу до двора Ахава цара самаријског.
2 One day, Ahab [went to] Naboth and said to him, “Your vineyard is close to my palace. I would like to buy it, so that I can plant some vegetables there. In exchange, I will give you a better vineyard [somewhere else], or if you prefer, I will pay you for your vineyard.”
И рече Ахав Навутеју говорећи: Дај ми свој виноград да начиним од њега врт за зеље, јер је близу двора мог; а ја ћу ти дати за њ бољи виноград, или ако волиш, даћу ти у новцу шта вреди.
3 But Naboth replied, “That land belonged to my ancestors, [so I want to keep it]. I hope that Yahweh will never allow me to give that land to you!”
А Навутеј рече Ахаву: Сачувај Боже да бих ти дао наследство отаца својих.
4 So Ahab became very sullen and angry because of what Naboth had said. He went home and lay down on his bed. He turned his face toward the wall, and he refused to eat anything.
Тада Ахав дође кући зловољан и љутит ради речи коју му рече Навутеј Језраељанин говорећи: Не дам ти наследство отаца својих. И леже на постељу своју, и окрену лице своје на страну, и не једе хлеба.
5 His wife Jezebel came in and asked him, “Why are you so depressed? Why are you refusing to eat anything?”
Тада дође к њему Језавеља, жена његова и рече му: Зашто је душа твоја зловољна те не једеш хлеба?
6 Ahab replied, “I talked to Naboth, that man from Jezreel. I told him that [I wanted] his vineyard. [I said, ] ‘I will buy it from you, or I will give you another vineyard for it.’ But he refused [to let me have it].”
А он јој рече: Јер говорих с Навутејем Језраељанином и рекох му: Дај ми виноград свој за новце, или ако волиш, даћу ти други виноград за тај. А он рече: Не дам ти свој виноград.
7 His wife replied, “You are [RHQ] the king of Israel, [so you can get whatever you want] Get up, and eat some food and do not worry [about what Naboth said]. I will get Naboth’s vineyard for you.”
Тада му рече Језавеља жена његова: Ти ли си цар над Израиљем? Устани, једи хлеба и буди весео. Ја ћу ти дати виноград Навутеја Језраељанина.
8 Then Jezebel wrote some letters, and she signed Ahab’s name on them. She used his official seal to seal them. Then she sent them to the older leaders and other important men who lived in Naboth’s town.
И написа књигу на име Ахавово, и запечати је печатом његовим и посла књигу старешинама и главарима који беху у граду његовом, који наставаху с Навутејем.
9 This is what she wrote in the letters: “Proclaim a day when all the people will [gather together and] (fast/abstain from eating food). Give to Naboth an important place to sit among them.
А у књизи написа ово: Огласите пост, и посадите Навутеја међу главаре народне.
10 Then find two men who always cause trouble. Give them places to sit opposite/facing him. Tell these men to testify that they heard Naboth say things that criticized God and the king. Then take Naboth out of the city and kill him by throwing stones at him.”
И поставите два неваљала човека према њему, па нека засведоче на њ говорећи: Хулио си на Бога и на цара. Тада га изведите и заспите камењем, да погине.
11 The leaders [received the letters and] did what Jezebel had written in the letters for them to do.
И учинише људи оног града, старешине и главари, који живљаху у граду његовом, како им заповеди Језавеља, како беше написано у књизи коју им посла.
12 They declared a day on which the people would all (fast/abstain from food). And they gave Naboth a seat in a place where honored people sat, in front of the people.
И огласише пост, и посадише Навутеја међу главаре народне.
13 Two men who always caused trouble sat opposite/facing Naboth. While everyone was listening, they stated that they had heard Naboth say things that criticized God and the king. So the people seized Naboth. They took him outside the city and killed him [by throwing] stones at him.
И дођоше два неваљала човека, и стадоше према њему; и сведочише на Навутеја ти неваљали људи пред народом говорећи: Навутеј је хулио на Бога и на цара. И изведоше га иза града, и засуше га камењем, те погибе.
14 Then those leaders sent a message to Jezebel, saying “We have executed Naboth.”
Потом послаше к Језавељи и поручише јој: Засут је камењем Навутеј, и погинуо је.
15 When Jezebel found out that Naboth had been killed, she told Ahab, “Naboth is dead. Now you can go and take possession of the vineyard that he refused to sell to you.”
А кад Језавеља чу да је Навутеј засут камењем и погинуо, рече Ахаву Језавеља: Устани, узми виноград Навутеја Језраељанина, који ти не хте дати за новце, јер Навутеј није жив него је умро.
16 When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up and went to the vineyard to claim that he now owned it.
А кад чу Ахав да је умро Навутеј, уста и пође у виноград Навутеја Језраељанина да га узме.
17 Then Yahweh spoke to Elijah the prophet. He said,
Али дође реч Господња к Илији Тесвићанину говорећи:
18 “Go to Samaria and talk to Ahab, the king of Israel. He is in the vineyard of a man named Naboth. He has gone there to claim that he now owns it.
Устани, изиђи на сусрет Ахаву, цару Израиљевом, који седи у Самарији; ено га у винограду Навутејевом, куда је отишао да га узме.
19 Tell Ahab that this is what I, Yahweh, say to him: ‘You have murdered Naboth and taken his land.’ So I am telling you this: ‘In the same place where [Naboth died and] dogs came and licked up Naboth’s blood, [you will die and] the dogs will lick up your blood, too!’”
И реци му и кажи: Овако вели Господ: Ниси ли убио и ниси ли присвојио? Па му кажи и реци: Овако вели Господ: Како пси лизаше крв Навутејеву, тако ће лизати пси и твоју крв.
20 So when Elijah met with Ahab, Ahab said to him, “You, my enemy, have found me!” [RHQ] Elijah answered, “Yes, I have found you. You have never stopped doing the things that Yahweh says are wrong.
А Ахав рече Илији: Нађе ли ме непријатељу мој? А он рече: Нађох, јер си се продао да чиниш зло пред Господом.
21 So this is what Yahweh says to you: ‘I will soon get rid of you. I will kill you, and I will also kill every male in your household, including those who are slaves and those who are not slaves.
Ево, пустићу зло на те, и узећу наслеђе твоје, и истребићу Ахаву и оно што уза зид мокри, и ухваћеног и остављеног у Израиљу.
22 Your family will all be killed, just like the family of King Jeroboam and like the family of King Baasha were killed. I will get rid of you because you have caused me to become very angry, and you have also led the Israeli people to sin.’
И учинићу с домом твојим као с домом Јеровоама, сина Наватовог и као са домом Васе, сина Ахијиног, што си ме гневио и што си навео на грех Израиља.
23 Yahweh has also told me that [your wife] Jezebel [will be killed, and] dogs in Jezreel will eat her corpse.
Такође и за Језавељу рече Господ говорећи: Пси ће изјести Језавељу испод зидова језраелских.
24 The [dead bodies of the] members of your family who die in this city [will not be buried, they] will be eaten by dogs, and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”
Ко Ахавов погине у граду изјешће га пси, а ко погине у пољу изјешће га птице небеске.
25 There was no man no man like Ahab who always did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. His wife Jezebel incited/urged him to do [many of] those things.
И не би таквог као Ахав, који се продаде да чини шта је зло пред Господом, јер га подговараше жена његова Језавеља.
26 The most abominable/detestable thing that Ahab did was to worship idols, just like the Amor people-group had done. And that is why Yahweh took the Amor people’s land from them and gave it to the Israelis.
И почини врло грдна дела идући за гадним боговима сасвим као што чинише Амореји, које изагна Господ испред синова Израиљевих.
27 After Elijah finished talking to Ahab, Ahab tore his clothes [to show that he was sorry for all the sins that he had committed]. He put on rough clothes that were made from sacks, and he refused to eat anything. He even wore those rough clothes made from sacks when he slept, to show that he was sorry.
А кад Ахав чу те речи, раздре хаљине своје, и привеза кострет око тела свог, и пошћаше, и спаваше у кострети, и хођаше полагано.
28 Then Yahweh said this to Elijah:
И дође реч Господња Илији Тесвићанину говорећи:
29 “I have seen [RHQ] that Ahab is now very sorry for all the evil things that he has done. So the things that I promised to do to his [family] will not happen while he is still alive. I will cause them to happen after his son becomes king. Then those things will happen to his family.” [MTY]
Јеси ли видео како се Ахав понизио преда мном? Зато што се тако понизио преда мном, нећу пустити оно зло за његовог живота; него за сина његовог пустићу оно зло на дом његов.
