2 Kings 2

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 When the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, he and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal.	1 Elizej Evo što se dogodilo kad je Jahve uznio Iliju na nebo u vihoru: Ilija i Elizej pošli iz Gilgala.
2 "Stay here, please," Elijah said to Elisha. "The LORD has sent me on to Bethel." "As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live," Elisha replied, "I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel,	2 I reče Ilija Elizeju: »Ostani ovdje jer me Jahve šalje do Betela.« Elizej odgovori: »Života mi Jahvina i tvoga: ja te neću ostaviti!« I siđoše do Betela.
3 where the guild prophets went out to Elisha and asked him, "Do you know that the LORD will take your master from over you today?" "Yes, I know it," he replied. "Keep still."	3 A proročki sinovi koji su boravili u Betelu iziđoše Elizeju ususret i rekoše mu: »Znaš li da će danas Jahve uzeti tvoga gospodara iznad tvoje glave?« On reče: »I ja to znam; tiho!«
4 Then Elijah said to him, "Stay here, please, Elisha, for the LORD has sent me on to Jericho." "As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live," Elisha replied, "I will not leave you."	4 Ilija mu reče: »Elizeju! Ostani ipak ovdje jer me Jahve šalje do Jerihona.« Ali on odgovori: »Života mi Jahvina i tvoga: ja te neću ostaviti!« I uđoše u Jerihon.
5 They went on to Jericho, where the guild prophets approached Elisha and asked him, "Do you know that the LORD will take your master from over you today?" "Yes, I know it," he replied. "Keep still."	5 Proročki sinovi koji su živjeli u Jerihonu priđoše Elizeju i rekoše mu: »Znaš li da će danas Jahve uzeti tvoga gospodara iznad tvoje glave?« On reče: »I ja to znam; tiho!«
6 Elijah said to Elisha, "Please stay here; the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan." "As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live," Elisha replied, "I will not leave you." And so the two went on together.	6 Ilija mu reče: »Ostani ipak ovdje jer me Jahve šalje do Jordana.« Ali on odgovori: »Života mi Jahvina i tvoga: ja te neću ostaviti!« I tako pođoše obojica.
7 Fifty of the guild prophets followed, and when the two stopped at the Jordan, stood facing them at a distance.	7 I pedeset proročkih sinova pođe i zaustavi se podalje, dok su se njih dvojica zadržala na obali Jordana.
8 Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up and struck the water, which divided, and both crossed over on dry ground.	8 Tada Ilija uze svoj ogrtač, smota ga i udari njime po vodi, a voda se razdijeli na dvije strane. I obojica prijeđoše po suhu.
9 When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask for whatever I may do for you, before I am taken from you." Elisha answered, "May I receive a double portion of your spirit."	9 A kad prijeđoše, Ilija će Elizeju: »Traži što da ti još učinim prije nego što budem uznesen ispred tebe!« A Elizej odgovori: »Neka mi u dio padne obilje tvoga duha!«
10 "You have asked something that is not easy," he replied. "Still, if you see me taken up from you, your wish will be granted; otherwise not."	10 Ilija odgovori: »Mnogo tražiš: ako me budeš vidio kad budem uznesen ispred tebe, bit će ti tako; ako pak ne budeš vidio, neće ti biti.«
11 As they walked on conversing, a flaming chariot and flaming horses came between them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.	11 I dok su tako išli i razgovarali, gle: ognjena kola i ognjeni konji stadoše među njih i Ilija u vihoru uziđe na nebo.
12 When Elisha saw it happen he cried out, "My father! my father! Israel's chariots and drivers!" But when he could no longer see him, Elisha gripped his own garment and tore it in two.	12 Elizej je gledao i vikao: »Oče moj, oče moj! Kola Izraelova i konjanici njegovi!« I više ga nije vidio. Uze tada svoje haljine i razdera ih nadvoje.
13 Then he picked up Elijah's mantle which had fallen from him, and went back and stood at the bank of the Jordan.	13 I podiže Ilijin plašt, koji bijaše pao s njega, te se vrati i zaustavi se na obali Jordana.
14 Wielding the mantle which had fallen from Elijah, he struck the water in his turn and said, "Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah?" When Elisha struck the water it divided and he crossed over.	14 Uze onda Ilijin plašt i udari po vodi govoreći: »Gdje je Jahve, Bog Ilijin?« I kad udari po vodi, ona se razdijeli na dvije strane i Elizej prijeđe.
15 The guild prophets in Jericho, who were on the other side, saw him and said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." They went to meet him, bowing to the ground before him.	15 Proročki su sinovi to sa strane vidjeli pa rekoše: »Duh je Ilijin počinuo na Elizeju!« I krenuše mu ususret, baciše se pred njim na zemlju
16 "Among your servants are fifty brave men," they said. "Let them go in search of your master. Perhaps the spirit of the LORD has carried him away to some mountain or some valley." "Do not send them," he answered.	16 i rekoše mu: »Evo ovdje s tvojim slugama pedeset junaka. Dopusti im da idu tražiti tvoga gospodara; možda ga je Duh Jahvin uzdigao i bacio na koju goru ili u kakvu dolinu.« On im odgovori: »Ne šaljite nikoga.«
17 However, they kept urging him, until he was embarrassed and said, "Send them." So they sent the fifty men, who searched for three days without finding him.	17 Ali kako su oni svejednako navaljivali, reče im: »Pošaljite!« I poslaše pedesetoricu; tražili su ga tri dana, ali ga nisu našli.
18 When they returned to Elisha in Jericho, where he was staying, he said to them, "Did I not tell you not to go?"	18 Vratiše se Elizeju, koji je ostao u Jerihonu, i on im reče: »Nisam li vam rekao: ‘Nemojte ići!’?«
19 Once the inhabitants of the city complained to Elisha, "The site of the city is fine indeed, as my lord can see, but the water is bad and the land unfruitful."	19 Ljudi iz grada rekoše Elizeju: »Lijepo je u gradu, kako to može vidjeti i naš gospodar, ali je voda loša i zemlja neplodna.«
20 "Bring me a new bowl," Elisha said, "and put salt into it." When they had brought it to him,	20 On reče: »Donesite mi novu zdjelu i metnite soli u nju!« I oni mu je donesoše.
21 he went out to the spring and threw salt into it, saying, "Thus says the LORD, 'I have purified this water. Never again shall death or miscarriage spring from it.'"	21 On tada ode na izvor, baci u nj soli i reče: »Ovako govori Jahve: ‘Ozdravljam ovu vodu. Neće od nje više biti ni smrti ni neplodnosti.’«
22 And the water has stayed pure even to this day, just as Elisha prophesied.	22 I voda postade zdrava i takva je do današnjeg dana, po riječi koju je izrekao Elizej.
23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. "Go up, baldhead," they shouted, "go up, baldhead!"	23 Odatle je uzašao u Betel. Dok je išao putem, dječaci bijahu izišli iz grada i rugahu mu se govoreći: »Hodi, ćelo! Hodi, ćelo!«
24 The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the children to pieces.	24 On se obazre, pogleda ih i prokle ih u ime Jahvino. I odmah iziđoše dva medvjeda iz šume i rastrgaše četrdeset i dvoje djece.
25 From there he went to Mount Carmel, and thence he returned to Samaria.	25 Odatle ode on na goru Karmel, a odande se vrati u Samariju.
