Prva knjiga o Kraljevima 22

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Tri je godine vladao mir; nije bilo rata između Aramejaca i Izraela.	1 Three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.
2 Treće godine Jošafat, kralj judejski, posjeti kralja izraelskoga.	2 In the third year, however, King Jehoshaphat of Judah came down to the king of Israel,
3 Kralj Izraela reče svojim dvoranima: »Znate li da je Ramot Gilead naš? A mi ne poduzimamo ništa da ga otmemo iz ruke aramejskog kralja.«	3 who said to his servants, "Do you not know that Ramoth-gilead is ours and we are doing nothing to take it from the king of Aram?"
4 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.«	4 He asked Jehoshaphat, "Will you come with me to fight against Ramoth-gilead?" Jehoshaphat answered the king of Israel, "You and I are as one, and your people and my people, your horses and my horses as well."
5 Tada Jošafat reče kralju izraelskom: »De posavjetuj se najprije s Jahvom.«	5 Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, "Seek the word of the LORD at once."
6 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.«	6 The king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred of them, and asked, "Shall I go to attack Ramoth-gilead or shall I refrain?" "Go up," they answered. "The LORD will deliver it over to the king."
7 Ali Jošafat upita: »Ima li ovdje još koji prorok Jahvin da i njega upitamo?«	7 But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there no other prophet of the LORD here whom we may consult?"
8 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!«	8 The king of Israel answered, "There is one other through whom we might consult the LORD, Micaiah, son of Imlah; but I hate him because he prophesies not good but evil about me." Jehoshaphat said, "Let not your majesty speak of evil against you."
9 Tada kralj izraelski dozva jednoga dvoranina i reče mu: »Brže dovedi Jimlina sina Miheja.«	9 So the king of Israel called an official and said to him, "Get Micaiah, son of Imlah, at once."
10 Izraelski kralj i judejski kralj Jošafat sjedili su svaki na svome prijestolju, u svečanim haljinama pred samarijskim vratima, a proroci proricali pred njima.	10 The king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah were seated, each on his throne, clothed in their robes of state on a threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
11 Kenaanin sin Sidkija napravi sebi željezne rogove i reče: »Ovako govori Jahve: ‘Njima ćeš nabosti sve Aramejce dok ih ne uništiš.’«	11 Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, made himself horns of iron and said, "The LORD says, 'With these you shall gore Aram until you have destroyed them.'"
12 Tako su i svi drugi proroci proricali govoreći: »Idi na Ramot Gilead i uspjet ćeš: Jahve će ga predati kralju u ruke.«	12 The other prophets prophesied in a similar vein, saying: "Go up to Ramoth-gilead; you shall succeed. The LORD will deliver it over to the king."
13 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!«	13 The messenger who had gone to call Micaiah said to him, "Look now, the prophets are unanimously predicting good for the king. Let your word be the same as any of theirs; predict good."
14 Ali Mihej odvrati: »Živoga mi Jahve, govorit ću ono što mi Jahve kaže!«	14 "As the LORD lives," Micaiah answered, "I shall say whatever the LORD tells me."
15 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.«	15 When he came to the king, the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to fight against Ramoth-gilead, or shall we refrain?" "Go up," he answered, "you shall succeed! The LORD will deliver it over to the king."
16 Ali mu kralj reče: »Koliko ću te puta zaklinjati da mi kažeš samo istinu u Jahvino ime?«	16 But the king answered him, "How many times must I adjure you to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD?"
17 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.’«	17 So Micaiah said: "I see all Israel scattered on the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd, and the LORD saying, 'These have no master! Let each of them go back home in peace.'"
18 Tada izraelski kralj reče Jošafatu: »Nisam li ti rekao da mi neće proreći dobro, nego zlo!«	18 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Did I not tell you he prophesies not good but evil about me?"
19 A Mihej reče: »Zato čuj riječ Jahvinu: Vidio sam Jahvu gdje sjedi na svome prijestolju, a sva mu vojska nebeska stajaše zdesna i slijeva.	19 Micaiah continued: "Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD seated on his throne, with the whole host of heaven standing by to his right and to his left.
20 Jahve upita: ‘Tko će zavesti Ahaba da otiđe i padne u Ramot Gileadu?’ Jedan reče ovo, drugi ono.	20 The LORD asked, 'Who will deceive Ahab, so that he will go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?' And one said this, another that,
21 Tada uđe jedan duh i stade pred Jahvu. ‘Ja ću ga’, reče, ‘zavesti.’ Jahve ga upita: ‘Kako?’	21 until one of the spirits came forth and presented himself to the LORD, saying, 'I will deceive him.' The LORD asked, 'How?'
22 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!’	22 He answered, 'I will go forth and become a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.' The LORD replied, 'You shall succeed in deceiving him. Go forth and do this.'
23 Tako je, evo, Jahve stavio lažljiva duha u usta svih ovih tvojih proroka, ali ti Jahve navješćuje zlo.«	23 So now, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours, but the LORD himself has decreed evil against you."
24 Tada pristupi Kenaanin sin Sidkija i udari Miheja po obrazu pitajući: »Zar je Jahvin duh napustio mene da bi s tobom govorio?«	24 Thereupon Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, came up and slapped Micaiah on the cheek, saying, "Has the spirit of the LORD, then, left me to speak with you?"
25 Mihej odgovori: »Vidjet ćeš onoga dana kad budeš bježao iz sobe u sobu da se sakriješ.«	25 "You shall find out," Micaiah replied, "on that day when you retreat into an inside room to hide."
26 Tada izraelski kralj naredi: »Uhvati Miheja i odvedi ga gradskom zapovjedniku Amonu i kraljeviću Joašu.	26 The king of Israel then said, "Seize Micaiah and take him back to Amon, prefect of the city, and to Joash, the king's son,
27 Reci im: Ovako veli kralj: ‘Bacite ovoga u tamnicu i držite ga na suhu kruhu i vodi dok se sretno ne vratim.’«	27 and say, 'This is the king's order: Put this man in prison and feed him scanty rations of bread and water until I return in safety.'"
28 Mihej reče: »Ako se doista sretno vratiš, onda Jahve nije govorio iz mene.« I nadoda: »Čujte, svi puci!«	28 But Micaiah said, "If ever you return in safety, the LORD has not spoken through me."
29 Gileada Izraelski kralj i judejski kralj Jošafat krenuše na Ramot Gilead.	29 The king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead,
30 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.	30 and the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you put on your own clothes." So the king of Israel disguised himself and entered the fray.
31 Aramejski kralj naredi zapovjednicima bojnih kola: »Ne napadajte ni na maloga ni na velikoga, nego jedino na izraelskog kralja!«	31 In the meantime the king of Aram had given his thirty-two chariot commanders the order, "Do not fight with anyone at all except the king of Israel."
32 Kad zapovjednici bojnih kola ugledaše Jošafata, rekoše: »To je kralj izraelski!« I krenuše u boj prema njemu. A Jošafat povika.	32 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they cried out, "That must be the king of Israel!" and shifted to fight him. But Jehoshaphat shouted his battle cry,
33 A kad zapovjednici bojnih kola vidješe da to nije izraelski kralj, okrenuše se od njega.	33 and the chariot commanders, aware that he was not the king of Israel, gave up pursuit of him.
34 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.«	34 Someone, however, drew his bow at random, and hit the king of Israel between the joints of his breastplate. He ordered his charioteer, "Rein about and take me out of the ranks, for I am disabled."
35 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.	35 The battle grew fierce during the day, and the king, who was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans, died in the evening. The blood from his wound flowed to the bottom of the chariot.
36 O zalasku sunčevu odjeknu glas taborom: »Svaki u svoj grad i svaki u svoju zemlju!	36 At sunset a cry went through the army, "Every man to his city, every man to his land,
37 Kralj je poginuo!« Otišli su u Samariju i pokopali kralja u Samariji.	37 for the king is dead!" So they went to Samaria, where they buried the king.
38 Njegova su kola oprali u samarijskom ribnjaku, psi su lizali njegovu krv i bludnice se ondje kupale, po riječi koju je rekao Jahve.	38 When the chariot was washed at the pool of Samaria, the dogs licked up his blood and harlots bathed there, as the LORD had prophesied.
39 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?	39 The rest of the acts of Ahab, with all that he did, including the ivory palace and all the cities he built, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
40 Ahab je počinuo sa svojim ocima, a njegov sin Ahazja zakralji se mjesto njega.	40 Ahab rested with his ancestors, and his son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.
41 Jošafat, sin Asin, postade kraljem Judeje četvrte godine kraljevanja Ahaba, kralja izraelskoga.	41 Jehoshaphat, son of Asa, began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab, king of Israel.
42 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.	42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.
43 Išao je sasvim putem oca Ase, ne skrećući s njega, nego čineći što je pravo u očima Jahvinim.	43 He followed all the ways of his father Asa unswervingly, doing what was right in the LORD'S sight.
44 Samo, uzvišice nisu bile uklonjene, narod je još prinosio klanice i kađenice na uzvišicama.	44 Nevertheless, the high places did not disappear, and the people continued to sacrifice and to burn incense on the high places.
45 Jošafat je bio u miru s izraelskim kraljem.	45 Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
46 Ostala povijest Jošafatova, pothvati koje je izveo i kako je vojevao, zar to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva judejskih?	46 The rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, with his prowess, what he did and how he fought, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
47 Istrijebio je iz zemlje preostale bludnice, koje su se održale iz vremena njegova oca Ase.	47 He removed from the land the rest of the cult prostitutes who had remained in the reign of his father Asa.
48 Nije bilo kralja u Edomu, nego je vladao namjesnik.	48 There was no king in Edom, but an appointed regent.
49 Kralj Jošafat sagradi taršiško brodovlje da ide u Ofir po zlato, ali nije otišlo jer se brodovlje razbilo kod Esjon Gebera.	49 Jehoshaphat made Tarshish ships to go to Ophir for gold; but in fact the ships did not go, because they were wrecked at Ezion-geber.
50 Tada Ahazja, sin Ahabov, reče Jošafatu: »Neka moje sluge pođu s tvojim slugama na lađama.« Ali Jošafat to ne prihvati.	50 Then Ahaziah, son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, "Let my servants accompany your servants in the ships." But Jehoshaphat would not agree.
51 Jošafat počinu sa svojim ocima i sahranjen bî u gradu Davida, svoga praoca. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Joram.	51 Jehoshaphat rested with his ancestors; he was buried in his forefathers' City of David. His son Jehoram succeeded him as king.
52 Ahazja, sin Ahabov, postade kraljem Izraela u Samariji sedamnaeste godine Jošafatova kraljevanja Judejom i kraljevao je dvije godine nad Izraelom.	52 Ahaziah, son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah; he reigned two years over Israel.
53 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.	53 He did evil in the sight of the LORD, behaving like his father, his mother, and Jeroboam, son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
54 Služio je Baalu i klanjao se pred njim. Srdio je Jahvu, Boga Izraelova, sasvim onako kako je činio njegov otac.	54 He served and worshiped Baal, thus provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, just as his father had done.
