¹Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab.

¹In Josafat je imel obilo bogastva in časti. In sklenil je svaštvo z Ahabom.

²And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead.

²In po nekoliko letih je šel doli k Ahabu v Samarijo. In Ahab je dal zaklati množino ovac in volov za njega in za ljudstvo, ki je bilo ž njim, in ga je pregovoril, naj gre ž njim v Ramot v Gileadu.

³And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war.

³Reče namreč Ahab, kralj Izraelov, Josafatu, kralju Judovemu: Pojdeš li z menoj v Ramot v Gileadu? On mu odgovori: Hočem biti kakor ti, ljudstvo moje kakor ljudstvo tvoje, in pojdemo s teboj v boj!

⁴And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.

⁴In Josafat reče kralju Izraelovemu: Vprašaj, prosim, danes besedo GOSPODOVO!

⁵Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king's hand.

⁵Tedaj skliče kralj Izraelov proroke, štiristo mož, in jim reče: Naj li gremo v boj proti Ramotu v Gileadu, ali naj to opustim? Odgovore: Pojdi gori, kajti Bog ga da v roko kraljevo!

⁶But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?

⁶A Josafat reče: Ni li tu sicer nobenega proroka GOSPODOVEGA, da bi ga po vprašali?

⁷And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

⁷In kralj Izraelov reče Josafatu: Še en mož je, po katerem moremo vprašati GOSPODA, ali jaz ga sovražim, zakaj ne prorokuje mi nikdar dobrega, ampak vsekdar hudo; ta je Mihaj, sin Imlov. Josafat reče: Ne govóri tako, kralj!

⁸And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.

⁸Tedaj pokliče kralj Izraelov dvornika in veli: Hitro pripelji sem Mihaja, sina Imlovega!

⁹And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

⁹Kralj Izraelov in Josafat, kralj Judov, pa sta sedela vsak na svojem prestolu, po kraljevsko oblečena. In sedela sta na trgu pri vhodu v vrata Samarije, in vsi proroki so prorokovali pred njima.

¹⁰And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed.

¹⁰In Zedekija, sin Kenaanov, si je naredil železne rogove in je govoril: Tako pravi GOSPOD: S temi boš bodel Sirce, dokler jih docela ne zatareš!

¹¹And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

¹¹In vsi proroki so prorokovali tako in govorili: Pojdi gori v Ramot v Gileadu in srečno hodi, kajti GOSPOD ga da kralju v roko!

¹²And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good.

¹²Sel pa, ki je šel poklicat Mihaja, mu govori in reče: Glej, besede prorokov oznanjajo soglasno kralju dobro, bodi torej beseda tvoja kakor enega iz njih in govóri dobro!

¹³And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak.

¹³In Mihaj reče: Kakor res živi GOSPOD, kar mi poreče Bog moj, to bom govoril.

¹⁴And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.

¹⁴In ko pride h kralju, ga vpraša kralj: Mihaj, ali naj gremo v boj proti Ramotu v Gileadu ali naj to opustim? Odgovori: Pojdite in srečno hodite! dani vam bodo v roko.

¹⁵And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD?

¹⁵Kralj mu pa veli: Kolikokrat naj te zarotim, da mi ne govoriš ničesar nego resnico v imenu GOSPODOVEM?

¹⁶Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace.

¹⁶On reče: Videl sem vsega Izraela razkropljenega po gorah kakor ovce, ki nimajo pastirja; in GOSPOD je dejal: Ti nimajo gospodarja! Vsak naj se vrne domov v miru!

¹⁷And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?

¹⁷Nato reče kralj Izraelov Josafatu: Ti li nisem rekel, da mi ne bo prorokoval dobrega nego hudo?

¹⁸Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.

¹⁸On reče: Zatorej čujte besedo GOSPODOVO! Videl sem GOSPODA sedečega na prestolu svojem in vso vojsko nebeško, da mu stoji ob desnici in ob levici.

¹⁹And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.

¹⁹In GOSPOD je vprašal: Kdo premoti Ahaba, da bi šel gori in padel pri Ramotu v Gileadu? In ta je svetoval in rekel to in drugi je rekel ono.

²⁰Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith?

²⁰Tedaj pride duh in se postavi pred GOSPODA in reče: Jaz ga premotim! In GOSPOD ga vpraša: S čim?

²¹And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so.

²¹Odgovori: Pojdem tja in bodem lažniv duh v ustih vseh prorokov njegovih. In veli: Ti ga premotiš in se ti posreči. Pojdi tja in stóri tako!

²²Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee.

²²Sedaj torej, glej, GOSPOD je dal lažnivega duha v usta vseh teh tvojih prorokov, a GOSPOD je govoril hudo zoper tebe!

²³Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?

²³Tedaj pristopi Zedekija, sin Kenaanov, in udari Mihaja v lice in reče: Kod je šel duh GOSPODOV od mene, da s teboj govori?

²⁴And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

²⁴Mihaj odvrne: Glej, videl boš tisti dan, ko boš hodil iz hrama v hram, da se skriješ!

²⁵Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

²⁵Kralj Izraelov pa veli: Vzemite Mihaja in ga peljite nazaj k Amonu, mestnemu poglavarju, in k Joasu, sinu kraljevemu,

²⁶And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.

²⁶in recite: Tako pravi kralj: Denita tega moža v ječo in živita ga s kruhom bridkosti in z vodo stiske, dokler se ne vrnem v miru!

²⁷And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, then hath not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people.

²⁷A Mihaj reče: Ako se vrneš v miru, ni govoril po meni GOSPOD! Še reče: Slišite, ljudje, vsi iz vas!

²⁸So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.

²⁸Nato sta šla kralj Izraelov in Josafat, kralj Judov, gori proti Ramotu v Gileadu.

²⁹And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and I will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.

²⁹In kralj Izraelov reče Josafatu: Jaz pojdem preoblečen v boj, ti pa obleci svoja oblačila! Preobleče se torej kralj Izraelov, in gresta v boj.

³⁰Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.

³⁰Kralj sirski pa je zapovedal poveljnikom voz svojih, rekoč: Ne bojujte se zoper malega, ne zoper velikega, temuč zgolj zoper kralja Izraelovega!

³¹And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.

³¹Ko torej vidijo poveljniki vozov Josafata, reko: Kralj Izraelov je! In zaženo se bojevat zoper njega; Josafat pa zavpije, in GOSPOD mu je pomogel in Bog jih je odvedel od njega.

³²For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing him.

³²Kajti ko so videli poveljniki voz, da ni kralj Izraelov, se obrnejo od njega.

³³And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.

³³Neki mož pa slučajno napne lok in ustreli kralja Izraelovega med stike v oklepu. Zato veli svojemu vozniku: Obrni voz in pelji me z bojišča, kajti hudo sem ranjen.A bitka se je razvnela tisti dan; toda kralj Izraelov je stal naslonjen na vozu Sircem nasproti do večera, in ko je solnce zahajalo, je umrl.

³⁴And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the sun going down he died.

³⁴A bitka se je razvnela tisti dan; toda kralj Izraelov je stal naslonjen na vozu Sircem nasproti do večera, in ko je solnce zahajalo, je umrl.
