2 Kings 3

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Joram, son of Ahab, became king of Israel in Samaria (in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, and he reigned for twelve years).	1 Joram, sin Ahabov, zakralji se nad Izraelom u Samariji osamnaeste godine Jošafatova kraljevanja u Judeji. I vladao je dvanaest godina.
2 He did evil in the LORD'S sight, though not as much as his father and mother. He did away with the pillar of Baal, which his father had made,	2 Činio je što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, ali ne kao njegov otac i mati, jer je uklonio Baalov stup što ga bijaše podigao njegov otac.
3 but he still clung to the sin to which Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had lured Israel; this he did not give up.	3 Ali je prianjao uz grijeh kojim je Jeroboam, sin Nebatov, zavodio Izraela; i nije odstupao od njega.
4 Now Mesha, king of Moab, who raised sheep, used to pay the king of Israel as tribute a hundred thousand lambs and the wool of a hundred thousand rams.	4 Moabaca Meša, kralj moapski, bio je stočar i slao je izraelskom kralju u danak stotinu tisuća janjaca i vunu od stotine tisuća ovnova.
5 But when Ahab died, the king of Moab had rebelled against the king of Israel.	5 Ali kad je umro Ahab, pobuni se kralj moapski protiv izraelskog kralja.
6 Joram as king mustered all Israel, and when he set out on a campaign from Samaria,	6 U to je baš vrijeme kralj Joram izišao iz Samarije i izvršio smotru svih Izraelaca.
7 he sent the king of Judah the message: "The king of Moab is in rebellion against me. Will you join me in battle against Moab?" "I will," he replied. "You and I shall be as one, your people and mine, and your horses and mine as well."	7 Zatim je poručio judejskom kralju Jošafatu: »Moapski se kralj pobunio protiv mene. Hoćeš li sa mnom u rat protiv Moabaca?« Judejski kralj odgovori: »Hoću! Ja kao ti, moj narod kao tvoj narod, moji konji kao i tvoji konji.«
8 They discussed the route for their attack, and settled upon the route through the desert of Edom.	8 I doda: »Kojim ćemo putem?« A drugi mu odgovori: »Kroz Edomsku pustinju.«
9 So the king of Israel set out, accompanied by the king of Judah and the king of Edom. After their roundabout journey of seven days the water gave out for the army and for the animals with them.	9 I tako krenu izraelski kralj s judejskim kraljem i s kraljem edomskim. Sedam su dana lutali, a nije bilo vode četama ni stoci koja je išla za njima.
10 "Alas!" exclaimed the king of Israel. "The LORD has called together these three kings to put them in the grasp of Moab."	10 Tada povika kralj izraelski: »Jao, Jahve je pozvao ova tri kralja da ih preda u ruke Moapcima!«
11 But the king of Judah asked, "Is there no prophet of the LORD here through whom we may inquire of the LORD?" One of the officers of the king of Israel replied, "Elisha, son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah, is here."	11 Ali Jošafat reče: »Nema li tu proroka Jahvina da se preko njega posavjetujemo s Jahvom?« Tada odgovori jedan između slugu izraelskoga kralja: »Ovdje je Elizej, sin Šafatov, koji je lijevao vodu na Ilijine ruke.«
12 "He has the word of the LORD," the king of Judah agreed. So the kings of Israel, Judah, and Edom went down to Elisha.	12 Jošafat reče: »U njega je riječ Božja.« I kralj izraelski, kralj judejski i kralj edomski odoše Elizeju.
13 "What do you want with me?" Elisha asked the king of Israel. "Go to the prophets of your father and to the prophets of your mother." "No," the king of Israel replied. "The LORD has called these three kings together to put them in the grasp of Moab."	13 A Elizej reče kralju izraelskom: »Što ja imam s tobom? Potraži proroke svoga oca i proroke svoje majke!« Izraelski kralj odgovori mu: »Ne! Jer Jahve je pozvao ova tri kralja da ih preda u ruke Moapcima.«
14 Then Elisha said, "As the LORD of hosts lives, whom I serve, were it not that I respect the king of Judah, I should neither look at you nor notice you at all.	14 Elizej uzvrati: »Tako mi živoga Jahve Sebaota, komu služim, kad ne bih gledao na judejskog kralja Jošafata, ne bih ti obraćao pažnje niti bih te pogledao.
15 Now get me a minstrel." When the minstrel played, the power of the LORD came upon Elisha	15 Sada mi dovedite svirača.« I dok je glazbenik svirao, siđe ruka Jahvina nada nj.
16 and he announced: "Thus says the LORD, 'Provide many catch basins in this wadi.'	16 I on reče: »Ovako veli Jahve: ‘Iskopajte u ovoj dolini mnogo jama.
17 For the LORD says, 'Though you will see neither wind nor rain, yet this wadi will be filled with water for you, your livestock, and your pack animals to drink.'	17 Jer ovako veli Jahve: nećete osjetiti vjetra niti ćete vidjeti dažda, a ova će se dolina napuniti vodom. I pit ćete vi, vaša marva i vaša stoka.’
18 And since the LORD does not consider this enough, he will also deliver Moab into your grasp.	18 Ali to još nije ništa u očima Jahve: on će predati Moab u vaše ruke.
19 You shall destroy every fortified city, fell every fruit tree, stop up all the springs, and ruin every fertile field with stones."	19 Vi ćete zauzeti sve utvrđene gradove, posjeći sve plodno drveće, zatrpati sve izvore i opustošiti najbolja polja: kamenjem ćete ih zasijati.«
20 In the morning, at the time of the sacrifice, water came from the direction of Edom and filled the land.	20 I doista, ujutro, u vrijeme kad se prinosi žrtva, dođe voda od Edoma i preplavi svu okolinu.
21 Meanwhile, all Moab heard that the kings had come to give them battle; every man capable of bearing arms was called up and stationed at the border.	21 Kad su Moapci čuli da su kraljevi došli s njima ratovati, pozvaše sve koji bijahu sposobni za oružje i postaviše ih na granicu.
22 Early that morning, when the sun shone on the water, the Moabites saw the water at a distance as red as blood.	22 Kad su ujutro ustali i kad je sunce granulo nad onom vodom, Moapcima se sa strane voda učini crvenom kao krv.
23 "This is blood!" they exclaimed. "The kings have fought among themselves and killed one another. Quick! To the spoils, Moabites!"	23 I rekoše: »To je krv! Zacijelo su se kraljevi međusobno pobili i jedan drugoga pogubili. A sada: na plijen, Moapci!«
24 But when they reached the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and attacked the Moabites, who fled from them. They ranged through the countryside striking down the Moabites, and	24 Ali kad su stigli do izraelskog tabora, digoše se Izraelci i potukoše Moapce, tako te ovi pobjegoše pred njima. A Izraelci pojuriše da dotuku Moapce.
25 destroying the cities; each of them cast stones onto every fertile field till they had loaded it down; all the springs they stopped up and every useful tree they felled. Finally only Kir-hareseth was left behind its stone walls, and the slingers had surrounded it and were attacking it.	25 Razorili su im gradove, bacali svaki po kamen na najbolje njive da ih zaspu, zatrpali izvore i posjekli sve plodno drveće. Konačno, ostao je samo grad Kir Harešet; praćari su ga opkolili i tukli ga.
26 When he saw that he was losing the battle, the king of Moab took seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Aram, but he failed.	26 Kada je moapski kralj vidio da neće izdržati bitku, uze sa sobom sedam stotina ljudi naoružanih mačevima, pokuša se probiti i doći do kralja edomskog, ali ne uspje.
27 So he took his first-born, his heir apparent, and offered him as a holocaust upon the wall. The wrath against Israel was so great that they gave up the siege and returned to their own land.	27 Tada uze svoga sina prvenca, koji ga imaše naslijediti, i prinese ga kao paljenicu na zidu. To se tako silno zgadilo Izraelcima te odoše od njih i vratiše se u svoju zemlju.
