1 Kings, 13

1. And behold, by the word of the Lord, a man of God went from Judah to Bethel, when Jeroboam was standing over the altar, and burning incense.

1. A neki èovjek Božji doðe na rijeè Jahvinu iz Judeje u Betel kada Jeroboam stajaše pred žrtvenikom da prinese kad.

2. And by the word of the Lord, he cried out against the altar. And he said: “O altar, O altar! Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, a son will be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. And upon you, he will immolate the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon you. And upon you, he will burn up the bones of men.’ ”

2. I po Jahvinoj zapovijedi povika onaj prema žrtveniku: "Žrtvenièe, žrtvenièe! Ovako veli Jahve: 'Evo æe se roditi u kuæi Davidovoj sin po imenu Jošija. On æe na tebi žrtvovati sveæenike uzvišica, te koji na tebi prinose kad, i on æe na tebi spaliti ljudske kosti!'"

3. And he gave a sign on the same day, saying: “This will be the sign that the Lord has spoken. Behold, the altar shall be torn apart, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.”

3. U isto im vrijeme dade znak: "Ovo je znak da je Jahve govorio: gle, žrtvenik æe se raspuknuti i prosut æe se pepeo što je na njemu."

4. And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried out against the altar at Bethel, he extended his hand from the altar, saying, “Apprehend him!” But his hand, which he had extended against him, withered. And he was unable to draw it back to himself.

4. Kada je kralj èuo što je èovjek Božji rekao protiv žrtvenika u Betelu, pruži ruku odande od žrtvenika i reèe: "Uhvatite ga!" Ali se osušila ruka koju je ispružio prema èovjeku i nije je mogao vratiti k sebi.

5. Also, the altar was torn apart, and the ashes were poured out from the altar, in accord with the sign that the man of God had predicted by the word of the Lord.

5. Žrtvenik se raspuknuo i pepeo se prosuo sa žrtvenika, prema znaku što ga je dao èovjek Božji po naredbi Jahvinoj.

6. And the king said to the man of God, “Entreat the face of the Lord your God, and pray for me, so that my hand may be restored to me.” And the man of God prayed before the face of the Lord, and the hand of the king was restored to him, and it became as it had been before.

6. Kralj progovori i reèe èovjeku Božjem: "Umilostivi Jahvu, Boga svoga, da bih mogao vratiti ruku k sebi." Božji èovjek umilostivi Jahvu i ruka se kraljeva vrati k njemu i bila je kao prije.

7. Then the king said to the man of God: “Come home with me, so that you may dine. And I will give you gifts.”

7. Kralj onda reèe èovjeku Božjem: "Hodi sa mnom kuæi da se okrijepiš. I dat æu ti dar."

8. And the man of God responded to the king: “Even if you will give me one half part of your house, I will not go with you, nor eat bread, nor drink water in this place.

8. Ali èovjek Božji odgovori kralju: "Da mi dadeš polovinu svoje kuæe, ne bih pošao s tobom. Ni jeo ni pio ne bih na ovom mjestu,

9. For so it was commanded to me by the word of the Lord, ordering: ‘You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water, nor shall you return by the way that you came.’ ”

9. jer mi je ovako zapovjeðeno rijeèju Jahvinom: 'Ne jedi kruha i ne pij vode, niti se vraæaj istim putem kojim si došao.'"

10. Then he departed by another way, and he did not return along the way that he had traveled to Bethel.

10. I otišao je drugim putem, nije se vraæao putem kojim je došao u Betel.

11. Now a certain elderly prophet was living in Bethel. His sons went to him, and they described to him all the works which the man of God had accomplished on that day in Bethel. And they described to their father the words that he had spoken to the king.

11. A u Betelu živio star prorok. Došli njemu njegovi sinovi te mu pripovjedili sve što je onoga dana uèinio èovjek Božji u Betelu; i rijeèi što ih je onaj kazao kralju pripovjediše sinovi ocu.

12. And their father said to them, “By which way did he depart?” His sons showed him the way by which the man of God, who had come from Judah, had departed.

12. A on ih upita: "Kojim je putem otišao?" Sinovi pokazaše put kojim je otišao èovjek Božji što bijaše došao iz Judeje.

13. And he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it, he climbed on,

13. Prorok æe nato sinovima: "Osamarite mi magarca!" I osamariše mu magarca, a on uzjaha.

14. and he went away after the man of God. And he found him sitting under a terebinth tree. And he said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” And he responded, “I am.”

14. Krenuo je za èovjekom Božjim i našao ga gdje sjedi pod hrastom; i upita ga: "Jesi li ti èovjek Božji koji je došao iz Judeje?" A on mu odgovori: "Jesam."

15. And he said to him, “Come home with me, so that you may eat bread.”

15. Prorok mu reèe: "Hodi sa mnom mome domu da štogod pojedeš."

16. But he said: “I am not able to turn back, nor to go with you. Neither will I eat bread, or drink water in this place.

16. Ali on odgovori: "Ne smijem se vratiti s tobom, niti smijem jesti kruha ni piti vode na ovome mjestu,

17. For the Lord has spoken to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, “You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water in that place, nor shall you return by the way that you arrived.”

17. jer mi je Jahvinom rijeèju nareðeno ovo: 'Ne jedi ondje kruha, ne pij vode, niti se vraæaj putem kojim si onamo pošao'."

18. And he said to him: “I, too, am a prophet like you. And an Angel spoke to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, ‘Lead him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread, and drink water.’ ” And so he deceived him.

18. Nato æe mu onaj: "I ja sam prorok kao i ti, i anðeo mi je rijeèju Jahvinom rekao: 'Povedi ga sa sobom kuæi da jede kruha i pije vode.'" Slagao mu je.

19. And he led him back with him. Then he ate bread and drank water in his house.

19. Božji èovjek vrati se s njim, u njegovoj je kuæi jeo kruha i pio vode.

20. And while they were sitting at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had led him back.

20. Dok su sjedili za stolom, doðe rijeè Jahvina proroku koji ga je natrag doveo

21. And he cried out to the man of God who had arrived from Judah, saying: “Thus says the Lord: Because you were not obedient to the mouth of the Lord, and you did not keep the commandment that the Lord your God instructed to you,

21. i povika on èovjeku Božjem koji je došao iz Judeje: "Ovako veli Jahve: zato što nisi poslušao zapovijedi Jahvine i nisi držao naredbe koju ti je dao Jahve, Bog tvoj,

22. and you turned back, and ate bread, and drank water in the place where he commanded you that you should not eat bread, nor drink water: your dead body shall not be carried back to the sepulcher of your fathers.”

22. nego si se vratio, jeo kruha i pio vode na mjestu gdje sam ti rekao da ne jedeš kruha i ne piješ vode, zato tijelo tvoje neæe leæi u grob otaca tvojih."

23. And when he had eaten and had drunk, he saddled his donkey for the prophet whom he had led back.

23. Pošto se onaj koga bijaše doveo najeo kruha i napio vode, osedla mu magarca.

24. And when he had departed, a lion found him along the way, and it killed him, and his dead body was left upon the road. Now the donkey was standing beside him. And the lion was standing beside the dead body.

24. I ode onaj. A na putu ga zaskoèi lav i usmrti ga. I tako je mrtvo tijelo ležalo ispruženo na putu, magarac stajao kraj njega, a i lav stajaše kraj tijela.

25. And behold, men who were passing by saw the dead body lying in the road, with the lion standing beside the body. And they went and made it widely known in the city where that elderly prophet was living.

25. Ljudi prolazeæi vidješe mrtvo tijelo ispruženo na putu i lava gdje stoji kraj njega; i odoše i javiše to u gradu gdje je živio stari prorok.

26. And when that prophet, who had led him back from the way, had heard it, he said: “It is the man of God, who was disobedient to the mouth of the Lord. And the Lord has delivered him to the lion. And it has torn him apart and killed him, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke to him.”

26. Kad je to èuo prorok koji bijaše onoga vratio s puta, reèe: "To je èovjek Božji koji se usprotivio rijeèi Jahvinoj! I Jahve ga je predao lavu, koji ga je napao i ubio, prema rijeèi koju je Jahve rekao."

27. And he said to his sons, “Saddle a donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it,

27. I reèe svojim sinovima: "Osamarite mi magarca!" I oni mu ga osamariše.

28. and he had departed, he found the dead body lying on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside the dead body. The lion did not eat from the dead body, nor did it harm the donkey.

28. Ode on i naðe mrtvo tijelo baèeno na putu i magarca i lava gdje stoje pokraj tijela: lav nije požderao tijelo niti je rastrgao magarca.

29. Then the prophet took the dead body of the man of God, and he placed it upon the donkey, and returning, he brought it into the city of the elderly prophet, so that he might mourn for him.

29. Tada prorok podiže mrtvo tijelo èovjeka Božjeg i prebaci ga na magarca; i vrati se u grad gdje je živio da mrtvoga ožali i pokopa.

30. And he placed his dead body in his own sepulcher. And they mourned for him, saying: “Alas! Alas! My brother!”

30. Položio je mrtvo tijelo u svoju grobnicu i jecao je nad njim: "Jao, brate moj!"

31. And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: “When I will have died, bury me in the sepulcher in which the man of God was buried. Place my bones beside his bones.

31. A kad ga je pokopao, reèe svojim sinovima: "Poslije moje smrti sahranite me u istu grobnicu gdje je pokopan èovjek Božji; stavite moje kosti kraj njegovih.

32. For certainly, the word will arrived, which he predicted by the word of the Lord, against the altar, which is in Bethel, and against all the shrines of the high places, which are in the cities of Samaria.”

32. Jer æe se sigurno ispuniti rijeè koju je po zapovijedi Jahvinoj objavio protiv žrtvenika u Betelu i protiv svih svetišta na uzvišicama u gradovima Samarije."

33. After these words, Jeroboam did not turn back from his very evil way. Instead, to the contrary, he made priests for the high places out of the least of the people. Whosoever was willing, he filled his hand, and he became a priest of the high places.

33. Ni poslije ovoga dogaðaja ne obrati se Jeroboam za svoga zlog puta, nego je i dalje priproste ljude postavljao za sveæenike na uzvišicama: tko je želio, davao mu je darove da postane sveæenik uzvišica.

34. And for this reason, the house of Jeroboam sinned, and was uprooted, and was wiped from the face of the earth.

34. Takvim je postupkom padala u grijeh kuæa Jeroboamova, rušila se i nestajala s lica zemlje.
