2 Kings, 4

1. Now a certain woman, from the wives of the prophets, cried out to Elisha, saying: “My husband, your servant, is dead. And you know that your servant was one who fears the Lord. And behold, a creditor has arrived, so that he may take away my two sons to serve him.”

1. Žena jednoga od proroèkih sinova zamoli Elizeja ovako: "Tvoj sluga, moj muž, umro je; a znaš da se tvoj sluga bojao Jahve. Sada je došao vjerovnik da mi uzme oba sina i uèini ih svojim robovima."

2. And Elisha said to her: “What do you want me to do for you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” And she responded, “I, your handmaid, do not have anything in my house, except a little oil, with which I may be anointed.”

2. Elizej joj reèe: "Što ti mogu uèiniti! Reci mi što imaš u kuæi?" Ona odgovori: "Tvoja sluškinja nema ništa u kuæi, osim vrèa ulja."

3. And he said to her: “Go, ask to borrow from all your neighbors empty vessels, more than a few.

3. Tada joj reèe: "Idi i posudi od svih svojih susjeda praznih sudova, ali neka ih ne bude premalo!

4. And enter and close your door. And when you are inside with your sons, pour from the oil into all those vessels. And when they are full, take them away.”

4. Zatim se vrati kuæi, zatvori vrata za sobom i za svojim sinovima i nalijevaj ulje u sve te sudove i pune stavljaj na stranu."

5. And so, the woman went and closed the door upon herself and her sons. They were bringing her the vessels, and she was pouring into them.

5. I ode ona od njega, zatvori vrata za sobom i za svojim sinovima. Oni su joj dodavali sudove, a ona ih punila.

6. And when the vessels had been filled, she said to her son, “Bring me another a vessel.” And he responded, “I have none.” And there was oil remaining.

6. I kad se sudovi napuniše, reèe ona svome sinu: "Dodaj mi još jedan sud!" Ali joj on odgovori: "Nema više sudova." I ulje stade.

7. Then she went and told the man of God. And he said: “Go, sell the oil, and repay your creditor. Then you and your sons may live on what remains.”

7. Ona ode i kaza èovjeku Božjem, a on joj reèe: "Idi, prodaj ulje i podmiri svoj dug, a od ostatka živjet æeš ti i tvoji sinovi!"

8. Now it happened that, on a certain day, Elisha passed by Shunem. And there was a great woman there, who took him to eat bread. And since he frequently passed by there, he turned aside to her house, so that he might eat bread.

8. Jednoga je dana Elizej prolazio kroza Šunam. A živjela ondje ugledna žena i ona ga pozva k stolu. Odonda, kad god prolazaše onuda, uvratio bi se k njoj na jelo.

9. And she said to her husband: “I have noticed that he is a holy man of God, who passes by us frequently.

9. Ona reèe svome mužu: "Evo, znam i vidim da je svet onaj èovjek Božji što prolazi ovuda.

10. Therefore, let us prepare a small upper room for him, and place a bed in it for him, and a table, and a chair, and a lampstand, so that when he comes to us, he may stay there.”

10. Naèinimo mu sobicu na krovu, stavimo mu ondje postelju, stol, stolicu i svjetiljku: kad doðe k nama, povuæi æe se onamo."

11. Then it happened that, on a certain day, arriving, he turned aside into the upper room, and he rested there.

11. Jednoga dana doðe on onamo, povuèe se u gornju sobu i poèinu ondje.

12. And he said to his servant Gehazi, “Call this Shunammite woman.” And when he had called her, and she stood before him,

12. Reèe zatim svome momku Gehaziju: "Pozovi tu Šunamku!" On je pozva te ona stade preda nj.

13. he said to his servant: “Say to her: Behold, you have ministered to us attentively in all things. What do you want, that I might do for you? Do you have any business, or do you want me to speak to the king, or to the leader of the military?” And she responded, “I live in the midst of my own people.”

13. I još mu reèe: "Kaži joj: 'Lijepo se brineš za nas. Što možemo uèiniti za te? Treba li reæi rijeè za te kralju ili vojskovoði?'" Ali ona odgovori: "Ja živim usred svoga naroda."

14. And he said, “Then what does she want, that I might do for her?” And Gehazi said: “You need not ask. For she has no son, and her husband is elderly.”

14. On nastavi: "Dakle, što da uèinimo za nju?" Gehazi odgovori: "Eto, nema sina, a muž joj je vremešan."

15. And so, he instructed him to call her. And when she had been called, and was standing before the door,

15. A on reèe: "Pozovi je!" Pozva je, a ona stade kod ulaza.

16. he said to her, “At this time, and at this same hour, with life as a companion, you will have a son in your womb.” But she responded, “Do not, I ask you, my lord, a man of God, do not be willing to lie to your handmaid.”

16. "Dogodine u ovo doba", reèe joj, "zagrlit æeš sina u naruèju." A ona reèe: "Ne, gospodaru moj, ne varaj službenice svoje!"

17. And the woman conceived. And she bore a son, in the time and at the same hour as Elisha had said.

17. Ali je žena doista zatrudnjela i rodila je sina druge godine u ono doba, kako joj je rekao Elizej.

18. And the boy grew. And on a certain day, when he had gone out to his father, to the harvesters,

18. Djeèak je rastao. Jednoga dana ode ocu kod žetelaca.

19. he said to his father: “I have a pain in my head. I have a pain in my head.” But he said to his servant, “Take him, and lead him to his mother.”

19. I potuži se ocu: "Jao, glava, glava moja!" A otac zapovjedi jednom momku da ga odnese majci.

20. But when he had taken him, and he had led him to his mother, she placed him upon her knees, until midday, and then he died.

20. On ga uze i odvede ga njegovoj majci. Na njenim je koljenima ostao do podne i onda umrije.

21. Then she went up and laid him out on the bed of the man of God, and she closed the door. And departing,

21. Ona tada ode gore i položi ga u postelju Božjega èovjeka. Izišla je zatim i zakljuèala vrata.

22. she called her husband, and she said: “Send with me, I beg you, one of your servants, and a donkey, so that I may hurry to the man of God, and then return.”

22. Potom je pozvala svoga muža i rekla: "Pošalji mi jednoga od momaka i jednu magaricu; otrèat æu do èovjeka Božjeg i vratit æu se."

23. And he said to her: “What is the reason that you would go to him? Today is not the new moon, and it is not the Sabbath.” She responded, “I will go.”

23. On je upita: "Zašto da danas poðeš k njemu? Nije ni mlaðak niti je subota." Ali ona odgovori: "Ostaj u miru!"

24. And she saddled a donkey, and she instructed her servant: “Drive, and hurry on. You shall cause no delay for me in departing. And do whatever I instruct you to do.”

24. Pošto joj je momak osamario magaricu, ona æe mu: "Povedi i poði! Ne zadržavaj me na putu, osim ako ti naredim."

25. And so she set out. And she came to the man of God, on mount Carmel. And when the man of God had seen her at a distance, he said to his servant Gehazi: “Behold, it is that Shunammite woman.

25. Ode ona i doðe k èovjeku Božjem, na goru Karmel. Kada je èovjek Božji ugleda izdaleka, reèe svome momku Gehaziju: "Evo one Šunamke.

26. So then, go to meet her, and say to her, ‘Does all go well concerning you, and your husband, and your son?’ ” And she answered, “It is well.”

26. Otrèi pred nju i pitaj je: 'Kako si? Je li ti muž dobro? Je li ti dijete zdravo?'" Ona odgovori: "Zdravi smo."

27. And when she had arrived at the man of God, on the mount, she took hold of his feet. And Gehazi drew near, so that he might remove her. But the man of God said: “Permit her. For her soul is in bitterness. And the Lord has concealed it from me, and has not revealed it to me.”

27. Kada je stigla do èovjeka Božjega na gori, obujmi mu noge. Gehazi pristupi da je odmakne, ali mu èovjek Božji reèe: "Pusti je jer joj je duša ojaðena. Jahve mi krije, nije mi ništa objavio."

28. And she said to him: “Did I ask a son from my lord? Did I not say to you, ‘You should not deceive me?’ ”

28. A ona reèe: "Zar sam ja tražila sina od svoga gospodara? Nisam li ti govorila da me ne zavaravaš?"

29. And so he said to Gehazi: “Gird your waist, and take my staff in your hand, and go. If any man will meet you, you shall not greet him. And if anyone greets you, you shall not respond to him. And place my staff upon the face of the boy.”

29. On tada reèe Gehaziju: "Opaši se, uzmi u ruku moj štap pa idi! Ako koga susretneš, ne pozdravljaj ga; ako te tko pozdravi, ne odzdravljaj mu. Moj štap položi na djeèaka."

30. But the mother of the boy said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not release you.” Therefore, he rose up, and he followed her.

30. Ali djeèakova majka reèe: "Života mi Jahvina i tvoga, neæu te ostaviti!" On tada ustade i poðe za njom.

31. But Gehazi had gone before them, and he had placed the staff upon the face of the boy. And there was no voice, nor any response. And so he returned to meet him. And he reported to him, saying, “The boy did not rise up.”

31. Gehazi je otišao prije njih i položio štap na djeèaka, ali ne bješe ni glasa ni odziva. Vrati se on pred Elizeja i javi mu: "Djeèak se nije probudio."

32. Therefore, Elisha entered the house. And behold, the boy was lying dead upon his bed.

32. Elizej uðe u kuæu i naðe djeèaka gdje mrtav leži na njegovoj postelji.

33. And entering, he closed the door upon himself and the boy. And he prayed to the Lord.

33. Ušavši, zatvori vrata za sobom i pomoli se Jahvi.

34. And he climbed up, and lay across the boy. And he put his mouth over his mouth, and his eyes over his eyes, and his hands over his hands. And he leaned himself over him, and the body of the boy grew warm.

34. Zatim se pope na postelju, leže na djeèaka, položi svoja usta na njegova usta, svoje oèi na njegove oèi, svoje ruke na njegove ruke; disao je nad njim te se ugrijalo tijelo djeèakovo.

35. And returning, he walked around the house, first here and then there. And he went up, and lay across him. And the boy gasped seven times, and he opened his eyes.

35. Potom ustade i prošeta se po kuæi tamo-amo, zatim se opet pope i disaše nad njim. A djeèak tada kihnu sedam puta i otvori oèi.

36. And he called Gehazi, and said to him, “Call this Shunammite woman.” And having been called, she entered to him. And he said, “Take up your son.”

36. I zovnu Elizej Gehazija i reèe: "Pozovi tu Šunamku." On je pozva. Kad je stigla preda nj, reèe joj: "Uzmi svoga sina."

37. She went and fell at his feet, and she reverenced upon the ground. And she took up her son, and departed.

37. Ona, ušavši, pade mu pred noge i pokloni se do zemlje. Zatim uze svoga sina te iziðe.

38. And Elisha returned to Gilgal. Now there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets were living in his sight. And he said to one of his servants, “Set out a large cooking pot, and boil a soup for the sons of the prophets.”

38. Elizej se vrati u Gilgal, a bijaše glad u zemlji. I kad su proroèki sinovi sjedili pred njim, reèe svome momku: "Stavi veliki lonac na vatru i skuhaj jelo sinovima proroèkim."

39. And one went out into the field, so that he might collect wild herbs. And he found something like a wild vine, and he gathered from it bitter fruits of the field, and he filled his cloak. And returning, he cut these up for the pot of soup. But he did not know what it was.

39. Jedan od njih ode u polje da nabere zelja, ali naðe divlju povijušu i nabra s nje punu haljinu gorkih plodova. Vrati se i nareza ih u lonac, jer nije znao kakvi su.

40. Then they poured it out for their companions to eat. And when they had tasted the mixture, they cried out, saying, “Death is in the cooking pot, O man of God!” And they were unable to eat.

40. Usuše ljudima da jedu. Ali kad su poèeli jesti, povikaše: "Èovjeèe Božji! Smrt je u loncu!" I nisu mogli jesti.

41. But he said, “Bring some flour.” And when they had brought it, he cast it into the cooking pot, and he said, “Pour it out for the group, so that they may eat.” And there was no longer any bitterness in the cooking pot.

41. Tada æe Elizej: "Donesite brašna!" I baci ga u lonac i reèe: "Uspite ljudima neka jedu!" I ništa više nije bilo štetno u loncu.

42. Now a certain man arrived from Baal-Shalishah, carrying, for the man of God, bread from the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and new grain in his satchel. But he said, “Give it to the people, so that they may eat.”

42. Neki èovjek došao iz Baal Šališe i donio èovjeku Božjem kruh od prvina, dvadeset jeèmenih hljebova i kaše u torbi. A on zapovjedi: "Daj ljudima neka jedu!"

43. And his servant responded to him, “What amount is this, that I should set it before a hundred men?” But he said again: “Give it to the people, so that they may eat. For thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat, and there shall be still more.’ ”

43. Ali njegov momak odgovori: "Kako to mogu postaviti pred stotinu ljudi?" On odgovori: "Podaj ljudima i neka jedu, jer ovako veli Jahve: 'Jest æe i preostat æe.'"

44. And so, he set it before them. And they ate, and there was still more, in accord with the word of the Lord.

44. I postavi on pred njih. I jedoše i još preosta, prema rijeèi Jahvinoj.
