¹Žena jednoga od proročkih 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 učini ih svojim robovima."

¹And a woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha saying, Thy servant my husband is dead, and thou knowest that thy servant feared Jehovah; and the creditor is come to take my two children to be bondmen.

²Elizej joj reče: "Što ti mogu učiniti! Reci mi što imaš u kući?" Ona odgovori: "Tvoja sluškinja nema ništa u kući, osim vrča ulja."

²And Elisha said to her, What shall I do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid has not anything at all in the house but a pot of oil.

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

³And he said, Go, borrow for thyself vessels abroad from all thy neighbours, empty vessels; let it not be few;

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

⁴and go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels, and set aside what is full.

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

⁵And she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons: they brought [the vessels] to her, and she poured out.

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

⁶And it came to pass when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said to her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

⁷Ona ode i kaza čovjeku Božjem, a on joj reče: "Idi, prodaj ulje i podmiri svoj dug, a od ostatka živjet ćeš ti i tvoji sinovi!"

⁷And she came and told the man of God; and he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou [and] thy sons on the rest.

⁸Jednoga 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.

⁸And it came to pass on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a wealthy woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, [that] as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

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

⁹And she said to her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who passes by us continually.

¹⁰Načinimo mu sobicu na krovu, stavimo mu ondje postelju, stol, stolicu i svjetiljku: kad dođe k nama, povući će se onamo."

¹⁰Let us make, I pray thee, a small upper chamber with walls, and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a lampstand; and it shall be when he cometh to us, he shall turn in thither.

¹¹Jednoga dana dođe on onamo, povuče se u gornju sobu i počinu ondje.

¹¹And it came to pass on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the upper chamber, and lay there.

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

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

¹³I još mu reče: "Kaži joj: 'Lijepo se brineš za nas. Što možemo učiniti za te? Treba li reći riječ za te kralju ili vojskovođi?'" Ali ona odgovori: "Ja živim usred svoga naroda."

¹³And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she said, I dwell among mine own people.

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

¹⁴And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi said, Verily, she has no son, and her husband is old.

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

¹⁵And he said, Call her; and he called her; and she stood in the doorway.

¹⁶"Dogodine u ovo doba", reče joj, "zagrlit ćeš sina u naručju." A ona reče: "Ne, gospodaru moj, ne varaj službenice svoje!"

¹⁶And he said, At this appointed time, when thy term is come, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, No, my lord, man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid.

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

¹⁷And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that appointed time in the next year as Elisha had said to her.

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

¹⁸And the child grew, and it came to pass one day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

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

¹⁹And he said to his father, My head, my head! And he said to the servant, Carry him to his mother.

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

²⁰And he carried him, and brought him to his mother; and he sat on her knees till noon, and died.

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

²¹And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut [the door] upon him, and went out.

²²Potom je pozvala svoga muža i rekla: "Pošalji mi jednoga od momaka i jednu magaricu; otrčat ću do čovjeka Božjeg i vratit ću se."

²²And she called to her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I will run to the man of God, and come again.

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

²³And he said, Why wilt thou go to him to-day? It is neither new moon nor sabbath. And she said, [It is] well.

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

²⁴Then she saddled the ass, and said to her servant, Drive and go forward; slack not the riding for me, except I bid thee.

²⁵Ode ona i dođe k čovjeku Božjem, na goru Karmel. Kada je čovjek Božji ugleda izdaleka, reče svome momku Gehaziju: "Evo one Šunamke.

²⁵And she went and came to the man of God, to mount Carmel. And it came to pass when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, there is the Shunammite:

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

²⁶run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she said, It is well.

²⁷Kada je stigla do čovjeka Božjega na gori, obujmi mu noge. Gehazi pristupi da je odmakne, ali mu čovjek Božji reče: "Pusti je jer joj je duša ojađena. Jahve mi krije, nije mi ništa objavio."

²⁷And she came to the man of God to the mountain, and caught him by the feet; and Gehazi drew near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone, for her soul is troubled within her, and Jehovah has hidden it from me, and has not told me.

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

²⁸And she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?

²⁹On tada reče 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 dječaka."

²⁹And he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way. If thou meet any man, salute him not, and if any salute thee, answer him not again; and lay my staff upon the face of the lad.

³⁰Ali dječakova majka reče: "Života mi Jahvina i tvoga, neću te ostaviti!" On tada ustade i pođe za njom.

³⁰And the mother of the lad said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And he rose up and followed her.

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

³¹And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the lad; but there was neither voice, nor sign of attention. And he returned to meet him, and told him saying, The lad is not awaked.

³²Elizej uđe u kuću i nađe dječaka gdje mrtav leži na njegovoj postelji.

³²And when Elisha came into the house, behold, the child was dead, [and] laid upon his bed.

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

³³And he went in and shut the door upon them both, and prayed to Jehovah.

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

³⁴And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands, and bent over him; and the flesh of the child grew warm.

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

³⁵And he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and bent over him. And the lad sneezed seven times, and the lad opened his eyes.

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

³⁶And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. And he called her; and she came to him. And he said, Take up thy son.

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

³⁷And she came and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.

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

³⁸And Elisha came again to Gilgal. And there was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him. And he said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.

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

³⁹Then one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered from it his lap full of wild colocynths, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage; for they did not know them.

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

⁴⁰And they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out and said, Man of God, there is death in the pot! And they could not eat [it].

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

⁴¹And he said, Then bring meal. And he cast [it] into the pot, and said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.

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

⁴²And there came a man from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of corn in his sack. And he said, Give to the people that they may eat.

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

⁴³And his attendant said, How shall I set this before a hundred men? And he said, Give the people that they may eat; for thus saith Jehovah: They shall eat, and shall have to spare.

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

⁴⁴And he set [it] before them, and they ate and left [thereof], according to the word of Jehovah.
