2 Књига о царевима 1
1 А по смрти Ахавовој одметнуше се Моавци од Израиља.
Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2 А Охозија паде кроз решетку из горње собе своје у Самарији, и разболе се; па посла посланике и рече им: Идите, питајте Велзевула бога акаронског хоћу ли оздравити од ове болести.
Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, "Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover of this sickness."
3 Али анђео Господњи рече Илији Тесвићанину: Устани, изађи на сусрет посланицима цара самаријског и реци им: Еда ли нема Бога у Израиљу, те идете да питате Велзевула бога у Акарону?
But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, "Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you go to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron?
4 А зато овако вели Господ: Нећеш се дигнути са постеље на коју си легао, него ћеш умрети. Потом отиде Илија.
Now therefore thus says the LORD, "You shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die."'" Elijah departed.
5 А слуге се вратише к Охозији, и он им рече: Што сте се вратили?
The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, "Why is it that you have returned?"
6 А они му рекоше: Срете нас један човек, и рече нам: Идите, вратите се к цару који вас је послао, и реците му: Овако вели Господ: Еда ли нема Бога у Израиљу, те шаљеш да питаш Велзевула бога у Акарону? Зато нећеш се дигнути с постеље на коју си легао, него ћеш умрети.
They said to him, "A man came up to meet us, and said to us, 'Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.'"'"
7 А он им рече: Какав беше на очи тај човек који вас срете и то вам рече?
He said to them, "What kind of man was he who came up to meet you, and told you these words?"
8 А они му одговорише: Беше сав космат и опасан кожним појасом. А он рече: То је Илија Тесвићанин.
They answered him, "He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist." He said, "It is Elijah the Tishbite."
9 Тада посла к њему педесетника с његовом педесеторицом; и он отиде к њему; и гле, он сеђаше наврх горе: и педесетник му рече: Човече Божји, цар је заповедио, сиђи.
Then the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and look, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, "Man of God, the king has said, 'Come down.'"
10 А Илија одговарајући рече педесетнику: Ако сам човек Божји, нека сиђе огањ с неба и прождре тебе и твоју педесеторицу. И сиђе огањ с неба и прождре њега и његову педесеторицу.
Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty." Fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
11 Опет посла к њему другог педесетника с његовом педесеторицом, који проговори и рече му: Човече Божји, цар је тако заповедио, сиђи брже.
Again he sent to him another captain of fifty and his fifty. And he went up and said to him, "Man of God, the king has said, 'Come down quickly.'"
12 А Илија одговори и рече им: Ако сам човек Божји, нека сиђе огањ с неба и прождре тебе и твоју педесеторицу. И сиђе огањ Божји с неба и прождре њега и његову педесеторицу.
And Elijah answered and said to him, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty." The fire of God came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
13 Тада опет посла трећег педесетника с његовом педесеторицом. А овај трећи педесетник кад дође, клече на колена своја пред Илијом, и молећи га рече му: Човече Божји, да ти је драга душа моја и душа ове педесеторице, слуга твојих.
And he tried again and sent a third captain with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, "Man of God, please let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your sight.
14 Ето, сишао је огањ с неба и прождрао прва два педесетника с њиховом педесеторицом; али сада да ти је драга душа моја.
Look, fire came down from the sky, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight."
15 А анђео Господњи рече Илији: Иди с њим, и не бој га се. И уста Илија и отиде с њим к цару.
The angel of the LORD said to Elijah, "Go down with him. Do not be afraid of him." He arose, and went down with him to the king.
16 И рече му: Овако вели Господ: зато што си слао посланике да питају Велзевула бога у Акарону као да нема Бога у Израиљу да би Га питао, нећеш се дигнути с постеље на коју си легао, него ћеш умрети.
He said to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.'"
17 И умре по речи Господњој, коју рече Илија, а на његово се место зацари Јорам, друге године царовања Јорама сина Јосафатовог над Јудом, јер он нема сина.
So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And his brother Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
18 А остала дела Охозијина што је чинио, нису ли записана у дневнику царева Израиљевих?
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
