¹In zgodi se po teh rečeh, da je imel Nabot Jezreelčan vinograd, ki je bil v Jezreelu poleg palače Ahaba, kralja v Samariji.

¹And it cometh to pass, after these things, a vineyard hath been to Naboth the Jezreelite, that [is] in Jezreel, near the palace of Ahab king of Samaria,

²In Ahab ogovori Nabota in reče: Daj mi svoj vinograd, da si napravim iz njega zelnik, ker je blizu, tik hiše moje, in dam ti zanj boljši vinograd, ali, če ti je prav, dam ti srebra zanj, kolikor je vreden.

²and Ahab speaketh unto Naboth, saying, `Give to me thy vineyard, and it is to me for a garden of green herbs, for it [is] near by my house, and I give to thee in its stead a better vineyard than it; if good in thine eyes, I give to thee silver — its price.`

³Nabot pa reče Ahabu: GOSPOD mi ne daj, da bi dal očetov svojih dediščino tebi!

³And Naboth saith unto Ahab, `Far be it from me, by Jehovah, my giving the inheritance of my fathers to thee;`

⁴In Ahab pride domov hude volje in srdit zaradi besede, ki mu jo je govoril Nabot Jezreelčan; kajti dejal mu je: Nikar ti ne dam očetov svojih dediščine! In leže na posteljo, obrne obraz in noče užiti kruha.

⁴and Ahab cometh in unto his house, sulky and wroth, because of the word that Naboth the Jezreelite hath spoken unto him when he saith, `I do not give to thee the inheritance of my fathers,` and he lieth down on his bed, and turneth round his face, and hath not eaten bread.

⁵Tedaj pride noter k njemu Jezabela, žena njegova, in ga ogovori: Zakaj je duh tvoj tako užaljen, da še kruha ne ješ?

⁵And Jezebel his wife cometh in unto him, and speaketh unto him, `What [is] this? — thy spirit sulky, and thou art not eating bread!`

⁶In ji reče: Ker sem govoril z Nabotom Jezreelčanom in mu rekel: Daj mi vinograd svoj za denar, ali pa ti dam, če ti je pogodu, drug vinograd zanj; on pa mi je odgovoril: Ne dam ti vinograda svojega!

⁶And he saith unto her, `Because I speak unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and say to him, Give to me thy vineyard for money, or if thou desire, I give to thee a vineyard in its stead; and he saith, I do not give to thee my vineyard.`

⁷In Jezabela, žena njegova, mu reče: Ne vladaš li ti sedaj kraljestva Izraelovega? Vstani in jej kruh in bodi dobre volje! Jaz ti hočem dati vinograd Nabota Jezreelčana.

⁷And Jezebel his wife saith unto him, `Thou now dost execute rule over Israel! rise, eat bread, and let thy heart be glad, — I do give to thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.`

⁸Nato napiše liste v imenu Ahabovem in jih zapečati ž njegovim pečatom, in pošlje liste starejšinam in plemenitnikom, ki so prebivali z Nabotom v mestu njegovem.

⁸And she writeth letters in the name of Ahab, and sealeth with his seal, and sendeth the letters unto the elders, and unto the freemen, who are in his city, those dwelling with Naboth,

⁹In pisala je v listih takole: Razglasite post in posadite Nabota med prvake ljudstva;

⁹and she writeth in the letters, saying, `Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit at the head of the people,

¹⁰in postavite dva moža, otroka Belijalova, proti njemu, da pričujeta zoper njega: Proklel si Boga in kralja. Nato ga peljite ven in ga lučajte s kamenjem, da umrje.

¹⁰and cause two men — sons of worthlessness — to sit over-against him, and they testify of him, saying, Thou hast blessed God and Melech; and they have brought him out, and stoned him, and he dieth.`

¹¹In njegovi someščani, starejšine in plemenitniki, ki so prebivali v mestu njegovem, store, kakor jim je Jezabela ukazala, prav kakor je bilo ukazano v listih, ki jih jim je poslala.

¹¹And the men of his city, the elders and the freemen who are dwelling in his city, do as Jezebel hath sent unto them, as written in the letters that she sent unto them,

¹²Razglasijo post in posade Nabota med prvake ljudstva.

¹²they have proclaimed a fast, and caused Naboth to sit at the head of the people,

¹³In prideta tista dva moža, otroka Belijalova, in stopita predenj, in tista moža Belijalova izpričata zoper Nabota vpričo ljudstva, govoreč: Nabot je proklel Boga in kralja. Tedaj ga odvedejo iz mesta in ga lučajo s kamenjem, da je umrl.

¹³and two men — sons of worthlessness — come in, and sit over-against him, and the men of worthlessness testify of him, even Naboth, before the people, saying, `Naboth blessed God and Melech;` and they take him out to the outside of the city, and stone him with stones, and he dieth;

¹⁴Nato pošljejo k Jezabeli in sporoče: Nabot je s kamenjem posut in mrtev.

¹⁴and they send unto Jezebel, saying, `Naboth was stoned, and is dead.`

¹⁵In kakor hitro zasliši Jezabela, da je Nabot s kamenjem posut in mrtev, veli Jezabela Ahabu: Vstani, posedi vinograd Nabota Jezreelčana, ki ti ga ni hotel dati za denar, kajti Nabot ne živi več, mrtev je.

¹⁵And it cometh to pass, at Jezebel`s hearing that Naboth hath been stoned, and is dead, that Jezebel saith unto Ahab, `Rise, possess the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, that he refused to give to thee for money, for Naboth is not alive but dead.`

¹⁶In ko Ahab sliši, da je Nabot mrtev, vstane precej, da bi šel doli v vinograd Nabota Jezreelčana in ga vzel v posest.

¹⁶And it cometh to pass, at Ahab`s hearing that Naboth is dead, that Ahab riseth to go down unto the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to possess it.

¹⁷A beseda GOSPODOVA pride Eliju Tisbljanu, veleč:

¹⁷And the word of Jehovah is unto Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

¹⁸Vstani, pojdi doli naproti Ahabu, kralju Izraelovemu, ki prebiva v Samariji; glej, on je v vinogradu Nabotovem, kamor je šel, da ga vzame v posest.

¹⁸`Rise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who [is] in Samaria, — lo, in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he hath gone down to possess it,

¹⁹In govóri mu, rekoč: Tako pravi GOSPOD: Nisi li ubil in po sili vzel? In govóri ž njim in reci: Tako pravi GOSPOD: Na mestu, kjer so psi lizali Nabotovo kri, bodo lizali tudi tvojo, prav tvojo.

¹⁹and thou hast spoken unto him, saying, Thus said Jehovah, Hast thou murdered, and also possessed? and thou hast spoken unto him, saying, Thus said Jehovah, In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth, do the dogs lick thy blood, even thine.`

²⁰In Ahab reče Eliju: Si me li našel, sovražnik moj? On odgovori: Našel sem te, zato ker si se prodal, da delaš, kar je hudo v očeh GOSPODOVIH.

²⁰And Ahab saith unto Elijah, `Hast thou found me, O mine enemy?` and he saith, `I have found — because of thy selling thyself to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah;

²¹Glej, jaz pripravim nesrečo nadte in dočista te izmetem, in iztrebim od Ahabovih vsakega moškega, sužnja in prostega v Izraelu,

²¹lo, I am bringing in unto thee evil, and have taken away thy posterity, and cut off to Ahab those sitting on the wall, and restrained, and left, in Israel,

²²in storim s hišo tvojo kakor s hišo Jeroboama, sina Nebatovega, in kakor s hišo Baasa, sina Ahijevega, zaradi draženja, s katerim si me dražil, in da si Izraela zapeljeval v greh.

²²and given up thy house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which thou hast provoked [Me], and dost cause Israel to sin.

²³Tudi o Jezabeli je govoril GOSPOD in rekel: Psi bodo žrli Jezabelo ob obzidju jezreelskem.

²³`And also of Jezebel hath Jehovah spoken, saying, The dogs do eat Jezebel in the bulwark of Jezreel;

²⁴Kdor umre od Ahabovih v mestu, ga bodo žrli psi, in njega, ki umre na polju, bodo žrle ptice nebeške.

²⁴him who dieth of Ahab in a city do the dogs eat, and him who dieth in a field do fowl of the heavens eat;

²⁵(Saj ni bilo nikogar mimo Ahaba, ki se je prodal, da bi delal, kar je zlo v očeh GOSPODOVIH, ker ga je izpodbadala Jezabela, žena njegova.

²⁵surely there hath none been like Ahab, who sold himself to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, whom Jezebel his wife hath moved,

²⁶In velike gnusobe je počenjal s tem, da je hodil za grdimi maliki, prav po vsem, kar so delali Amorejci, ki jih je GOSPOD zapodil pred sinovi Izraelovimi.)

²⁶and he doth very abominably to go after the idols, according to all that the Amorite did whom Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel.`

²⁷In ko je Ahab slišal te besede, si raztrga oblačila in dene raševnik na telo in se posti in spi v raševniku ter hodi pohlevno.

²⁷And it cometh to pass, at Ahab`s hearing these words, that he rendeth his garments, and putteth sackcloth on his flesh, and fasteth, and lieth in sackcloth, and goeth gently.

²⁸Tedaj pride beseda GOSPODOVA Eliju Tisbljanu in reče:Vidiš li, kako se je Ahab ponižal pred menoj? Ker se ponižuje pred menoj, ne pripravim nesreče v dneh njegovih; v dneh sinu njegovega pošljem nesrečo nad hišo njegovo.

²⁸And the word of Jehovah is unto Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

²⁹Vidiš li, kako se je Ahab ponižal pred menoj? Ker se ponižuje pred menoj, ne pripravim nesreče v dneh njegovih; v dneh sinu njegovega pošljem nesrečo nad hišo njegovo.

²⁹`Hast thou seen that Ahab hath been humbled before Me? because that he hath been humbled before Me, I bring not in the evil in his days; in the days of his son I bring in the evil on his house.`
