I Kings 22

Tri je godine vladao mir; nije bilo rata između Aramejaca i Izraela.

And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.

Treće godine Jošafat, kralj judejski, posjeti kralja izraelskoga.

And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.

Kralj Izraela reče svojim dvoranima: "Znate li da je Ramot Gilead naš? A mi ne poduzimamo ništa da ga otmemo iz ruke aramejskog kralja."

And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?

Zatim reče Jošafatu: "Hoćeš li poći sa mnom na Ramot Gilead?" Jošafat odgovori kralju izraelskom: "Ja sam kao i ti, moj narod kao i tvoj, moji konji što i tvoji."

And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramoth–gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.

Tada Jošafat reče kralju izraelskom: "De posavjetuj se najprije s Jahvom."

And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.

Tada kralj izraelski sakupi oko četiri stotine proroka i upita ih: "Mogu li zavojštiti na Ramot Gilead ili da se okanim toga?" Oni odgovoriše: "Idi, jer će ga Jahve predati kralju u ruke."

Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramoth–gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

Ali Jošafat upita: "Ima li ovdje još koji prorok Jahvin da i njega upitamo?"

And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?

Kralj izraelski odgovori Jošafatu: "Ima još jedan čovjek preko koga bismo mogli upitati Jahvu, ali ga ne podnosim jer mi ne prorokuje ništa dobro nego samo zlo; to je Mihej, sin Jimlin." A Jošafat reče: "Neka kralj ne govori tako!"

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

Tada kralj izraelski dozva jednoga dvoranina i reče mu: "Brže dovedi Jimlina sina Miheja."

Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah.

Izraelski kralj i judejski kralj Jošafat sjedili su svaki na svome prijestolju, u svečanim haljinama pred Samarijskim vratima, a proroci proricali pred njima.

And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

Kenaanin sin Sidkija napravi sebi željezne rogove i reče: "Ovako govori Jahve: 'Njima ćeš nabosti sve Aramejce dok ih ne uništiš'."

And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them.

Tako su i svi drugi proroci proricali govoreći: "Idi na Ramot Gilead i uspjet ćeš: Jahve će ga predati kralju u ruke."

And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth–gilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king's hand.

Glasnik koji bijaše otišao da zove Miheja reče mu: "Eno, svi proroci složno proriču dobro kralju. Govori i ti kao jedan od njih i proreci mu uspjeh!"

And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.

Ali Mihej odvrati: "Živoga mi Jahve, govorit ću ono što mi Jahve kaže!"

And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak.

Kad dođe pred kralja, upita ga kralj: "Miheju, da pođem u rat na Ramot Gilead ili da se okanim toga?" On odgovori: "Pođi! Uspjet ćeš: Jahve će ga dati u ruke kraljeve."

So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth–gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

Ali mu kralj reče: "Koliko ću te puta zaklinjati da mi kažeš samo istinu u Jahvino ime?"

And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD?

Tada Mihej odgovori: "Sav Izrael vidim rasut po gorama kao stado bez pastira. I Jahve veli: 'Nemaju više gospodara, neka se u miru kući vrate.'"

And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.

Tada izraelski kralj reče Jošafatu: "Nisam li ti rekao da mi neće proreći dobro nego zlo!"

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?

A Mihej reče: "Zato čuj riječ Jahvinu: vidio sam Jahvu gdje sjedi na svome prijestolju, a sva mu vojska nebeska stajaše zdesna i slijeva.

And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.

Jahve upita: 'Tko će zavesti Ahaba da otiđe i padne u Ramot Gileadu?' Jedan reče ovo, drugi ono.

And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth–gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.

Tada uđe jedan duh i stade pred Jahvu. 'Ja ću ga', reče, 'zavesti.' Jahve ga upita: 'Kako?'

And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.

On odgovori: 'Izaći ću i bit ću lažljiv duh u ustima svih njegovih proroka.' Jahve reče: 'Ti ćeš ga zavesti. I uspjet ćeš. Idi i učini tako!'

And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.

Tako je, evo, Jahve stavio lažljiva duha u usta svih ovih tvojih proroka, ali ti Jahve navješćuje zlo."

Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.

Tada pristupi Kenaanin sin Sidkija i udari Miheja po obrazu pitajući: "Zar je Jahvin duh napustio mene da bi s tobom govorio?"

But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?

Mihej odgovori: "Vidjet ćeš onoga dana kad budeš bježao iz sobe u sobu da se sakriješ."

And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

Tada izraelski kralj naredi: "Uhvati Miheja i odvedi ga gradskom zapovjedniku Amonu i kraljeviću Joašu.

And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

Reci im: Ovako veli kralj: 'Bacite ovoga u tamnicu i držite ga na suhu kruhu i vodi dok se sretno ne vratim.'"

And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.

Mihej reče: "Ako se doista sretno vratiš, onda Jahve nije govorio iz mene." I nadoda: "Čujte, svi puci!"

And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.

Izraelski kralj i judejski kralj Jošafat krenuše na Ramot Gilead.

So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth–gilead.

Izraelski kralj reče Jošafatu: "Ja ću se preobući i onda ući u boj, ali ti ostani u svojoj odjeći!" Izraelski se kralj preobuče i pođe u boj.

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.

Aramejski kralj naredi zapovjednicima bojnih kola: "Ne napadajte ni na maloga ni na velikoga, nego jedino na izraelskog kralja!"

But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.

Kad zapovjednici bojnih kola ugledaše Jošafata, rekoše: "To je kralj izraelski!" I krenuše u boj prema njemu. A Jošafat povika.

And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.

A kad zapovjednici bojnih kola vidješe da to nije izraelski kralj, okrenuše se od njega.

And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.

Jedan nasumce odape luk i ustrijeli izraelskog kralja između nabora pojasa i oklopa. Kralj reče vozaču: "Okreni, izvedi me iz boja jer mi nije dobro."

And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.

Boj je onoga dana bio sve žešći, ali se kralj držao uspravno na bojnim kolima prema Aramejcima. A navečer umrije. Krv se iz rane izlila u kola.

And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.

O zalasku sunčevu odjeknu glas taborom: "Svaki u svoj grad i svaki u svoju zemlju!

And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country.

Kralj je poginuo!" Otišli su u Samariju i pokopali kralja u Samariji.

So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.

Njegova su kola oprali u samarijskom ribnjaku, psi su lizali njegovu krv i bludnice se ondje kupale, po riječi koju je rekao Jahve.

And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the LORD which he spake.

Ostala povijest Ahabova, sve što je učinio, o kući od bjelokosti, o svim gradovima koje je sagradio, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva izraelskih?

Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Ahab je počinuo sa svojim ocima, a njegov sin Ahazja zakralji se mjesto njega.

So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

Jošafat, sin Asin, postade kraljem Judeje četvrte godine kraljevanja Ahaba, kralja izraelskoga.

And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.

Jošafatu bijaše trideset i pet godina kad se zakraljio; kraljevao je dvadeset i pet godina u Jeruzalemu; mati mu se zvala Azuba, a bila je kći Šilhijeva.

Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

Išao je sasvim putem oca Ase, ne skrećući s njega, nego čineći što je pravo u očima Jahvinim.

And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.

Samo, uzvišice nisu bile uklonjene, narod je još prinosio klanice i kađenice na uzvišicama.

And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.

Jošafat je bio u miru s izraelskim kraljem.

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he shewed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

Ostala povijest Jošafatova, pothvati koje je izveo i kako je vojevao, zar to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva judejskih?

And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.

Istrijebio je iz zemlje preostale bludnice, koje su se održale iz vremena njegova oca Ase.

There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king.

Nije bilo kralja u Edomu, nego je vladao namjesnik.

Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Ezion–geber.

Kralj Jošafat sagradi taršiško brodovlje da ide u Ofir po zlato, ali nije otišlo jer se brodovlje razbilo kod Esjon Gebera.

Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.

Tada Ahazja, sin Ahabov, reče Jošafatu: "Neka moje sluge pođu s tvojim slugama na lađama." Ali Jošafat to ne prihvati.

And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

Jošafat počinu sa svojim ocima i sahranjen bi u gradu Davida, svoga praoca. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Joram.

Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.

Ahazja, sin Ahabov, postade kraljem Izraela u Samariji sedamnaeste godine Jošafatova kraljevanja Judejom i kraljevao je dvije godine nad Izraelom.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:

On je činio što je zlo u očima Jahvinim i hodio je putem svoga oca i putem svoje majke i putem Jeroboama, sina Nebatova, koji je navodio Izraela na grijeh. [ (I Kings 22:54) Služio je Baalu i klanjao se pred njim. Srdio je Jahvu, Boga Izraelova, sasvim onako kako je činio njegov otac. ]

For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
