¹In tri leta so bivali v miru, da ni bilo vojske med Sirijo in Izraelom.

¹And they sit still three years, there is no war between Aram and Israel,

²In zgodi se v tretjem letu, da pride Josafat, kralj Judov, doli h kralju Izraelovemu.

²and it cometh to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat king of Judah cometh down unto the king of Israel,

³In reče kralj Izraelov služabnikom svojim: Ne veste li, da je Ramot v Gileadu naš? In mi mirujemo in ga ne vzamemo iz roke sirskega kralja?

³and the king of Israel saith unto his servants, `Have ye not known that ours [is] Ramoth-Gilead? and we are keeping silent from taking it out of the hand of the king of Aram!`

⁴In reče Josafatu: Pojdeš li z menoj v boj proti Ramotu v Gileadu? Josafat odgovori kralju Izraelovemu: Bodem naj kakor ti, ljudstvo moje kakor ljudstvo tvoje, konji moji kakor konji tvoji!

⁴And he saith unto Jehoshaphat, `Dost thou go with me to battle [to] Ramoth-Gilead?` and Jehoshaphat saith unto the king of Israel, `As I am, so thou; as my people, so thy people; as my horses, so thy horses.`

⁵Še reče Josafat kralju Izraelovemu: Vprašaj, prosim, danes besedo GOSPODOVO!

⁵And Jehoshaphat saith unto the king of Israel, `Seek, I pray thee, to-day, the word of Jehovah;`

⁶Tedaj skliče kralj Izraelov proroke, okoli štiristo mož, pa jih vpraša: Naj li grem v boj proti Ramotu v Gileadu ali naj to opustim? Odgovore: Pojdi gori, in Gospod ga da v roko kraljevo!

⁶and the king of Israel gathereth the prophets, about four hundred men, and saith unto them, `Do I go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or do I forbear?` and they say, `Go up, and the Lord doth give [it] into the hand of the king.`

⁷Josafat pa reče: Ni li sicer nobenega GOSPODOVEGA proroka tu, da bi ga povprašali?

⁷And Jehoshaphat saith, `Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, and we seek by him?`

⁸In kralj Izraelov reče Josafatu: Še en mož je, po katerem moremo vprašati GOSPODA, Mihaj, sin Imlov; ali jaz ga sovražim, zakaj ne prorokuje mi dobrega, nego zgolj hudo. Josafat reče: Ne govóri tako, kralj!

⁸And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat, `Yet — one man to seek Jehovah by him, and I have hated him, for he doth not prophesy concerning me good, but evil — Micaiah son of Imlah;` and Jehoshaphat saith, `Let not the king say so.`

⁹Tedaj pokliče kralj Izraelov enega dvornika in veli: Hitro pripelji sem Mihaja, sina Imlovega!

⁹And the king of Israel calleth unto a certain eunuch, and saith, `Hasten Micaiah son of Imlah.`

¹⁰Kralj Izraelov in Josafat, kralj Judov, pa sta sedela vsak na svojem prestolu, po kraljevsko oblečena, na trgu pri vhodu v vrata Samarije, in vsi proroki so prorokovali pred njima.

¹⁰And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah are sitting, each on his throne, clothed with garments, in a threshing-floor, at the opening of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets are prophesying before them.

¹¹In Zedekija, sin Kenaanov, si je naredil železne rogove in govoril: Tako pravi GOSPOD: S temi boš bodel Sirce, dokler jih celo ne zatareš!

¹¹And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah maketh for himself horns of iron, and saith, `Thus said Jehovah, By these thou dost push the Aramaeans till they are consumed;`

¹²Tudi vsi proroki so prorokovali tako in govorili: Pojdi proti Ramotu v Gileadu in srečno hodi, in GOSPOD ga da kralju v roko!

¹²and all the prophets are prophesying so, saying, `Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper, and Jehovah hath given [it] into the hand of the king.`

¹³Sel pa, ki je šel poklicat Mihaja, mu govori in reče: Glej vendar: besede prorokov oznanjajo soglasno kralju dobro; bodi torej beseda tvoja kakor beseda enega izmed njih, in govóri dobro!

¹³And the messenger who hath gone to call Micaiah hath spoken unto him, saying, `Lo, I pray thee, the words of the prophets, with one mouth, [are] good towards the king; let it be, I pray thee, thy word as the word of one of them — and thou hast spoken good.`

¹⁴In Mihaj reče: Kakor res živi GOSPOD, kar mi poreče GOSPOD, bom govoril.

¹⁴And Micaiah saith, `Jehovah liveth; surely that which Jehovah saith unto me — it I speak.`

¹⁵In ko pride h kralju, mu reče kralj: Mihaj, ali naj gremo v boj proti Ramotu v Gileadu ali naj opustimo? Odgovori: Pojdi in srečno hodi! GOSPOD ga da kralju v roko.

¹⁵And he cometh in unto the king, and the king saith unto him, `Micaiah, do we go unto Ramoth-Gilead, to battle, or do we forbear?` and he saith unto him, `Go up, and prosper, and Jehovah hath given [it] into the hand of the king.`

¹⁶Kralj mu pa veli: Kolikokrat mi te je rotiti, da mi ne govoriš ničesar nego resnico v imenu GOSPODOVEM?

¹⁶And the king saith unto him, `How many times am I adjuring thee that thou speak nothing unto me but truth in the name of Jehovah?`

¹⁷In reče: Videl sem vse Izraelce razkropljene po gorah kakor ovce, ki nimajo pastirja; in GOSPOD je dejal: Ti nimajo gospodarja! Vsak naj se vrne domov v miru!

¹⁷And he saith, `I have seen all Israel scattered on the hills as sheep that have no shepherd, and Jehovah saith, These have no master; they turn back each to his house in peace.`

¹⁸Nato reče kralj Izraelov Josafatu: Nisem ti li rekel, da mi ne prorokuje nič dobrega, nego zgolj hudo?

¹⁸And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat, `Have I not said unto thee, He doth not prophesy of me good, but evil?`

¹⁹On reče: Zatorej čuj besedo GOSPODOVO! Videl sem GOSPODA, da sedi na prestolu svojem, in vso vojsko nebeško, da mu stoji ob desnici in ob levici.

¹⁹And he saith, `Therefore, hear a word of Jehovah; I have seen Jehovah sitting on His throne, and all the host of the heavens standing by Him, on His right and on His left;

²⁰In GOSPOD je vprašal: Kdo premoti Ahaba, da bi šel gori in padel pri Ramotu v Gileadu? In ta je rekel to in drugi je rekel ono.

²⁰and Jehovah saith, Who doth entice Ahab, and he doth go up and fall in Ramoth-Gilead? and this one saith thus, and that one is saying thus.

²¹Tedaj pride duh in se postavi pred GOSPODA in reče: Jaz ga premotim!

²¹`And the spirit goeth out, and standeth before Jehovah, and saith, I — I do entice him; and Jehovah saith unto him, By what?

²²In GOSPOD ga vpraša: S čim? Odgovori: 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!

²²and he saith, I go out, and have been a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets; and He saith, Thou dost entice, and also thou art able; go out and do so.

²³Sedaj torej glej, GOSPOD je dal lažnivega duha v usta vseh teh prorokov tvojih, a GOSPOD je govoril hudo zoper tebe!

²³And now, lo, Jehovah hath put a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and Jehovah hath spoken concerning thee — evil.`

²⁴Tedaj pristopi Zedekija, sin Kenaanov, in udari Mihaja v lice in reče: Kod je šel duh GOSPODOV od mene, da s tabo govori?

²⁴And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah draweth nigh, and smiteth Micaiah on the cheek, and saith, `Where [is] this — he hath passed over — the Spirit of Jehovah — from me to speak with thee?`

²⁵Mihaj odvrne: Glej, videl boš tisti dan, ko boš hodil iz hrama v hram, da se skriješ!

²⁵And Micaiah saith, `Lo, thou art seeing on that day, when thou goest in to the innermost chamber to be hidden.`

²⁶Kralj Izraelov pa veli: Vzemi Mihaja in ga pelji nazaj k Amonu, mestnemu poglavarju, in k Joasu, sinu kraljevemu,

²⁶And the king of Israel saith, `Take Micaiah, and turn him back unto Amon head of the city, and unto Joash son of the king,

²⁷pa reci: 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 thou hast said, Thus said the king, Place ye this one in the house of restraint, and cause him to eat bread of oppression, and water of oppression, till my coming in peace.`

²⁸A Mihaj reče: Ako se vrneš v miru, ni govoril po meni GOSPOD! Še reče: Čujte, vsi ljudje!

²⁸And Micaiah saith, `If thou at all return in peace — Jehovah hath not spoken by me;` and he saith, `Hear, O peoples, all of them.`

²⁹Nato sta šla kralj Izraelov in Josafat, kralj Judov, gori proti Ramotu v Gileadu.

²⁹And the king of Israel goeth up, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, to Ramoth-Gilead.

³⁰In kralj Izraelov reče Josafatu: Jaz pojdem preoblečen v boj, ti pa obleci svoja oblačila! Preobleče se torej kralj Izraelov in gre v boj.

³⁰And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat to disguise himself, and to go into battle, `And thou, put on thy garments.` And the king of Israel disguiseth himself, and goeth into battle.

³¹Kralj sirski pa je zapovedal dvaintridesetim poveljnikom svojih voz, rekoč: Ne bojujte se zoper male, ne zoper velike, ampak zgolj zoper kralja Izraelovega!

³¹And the king of Aram commanded the heads of the charioteers whom he hath — thirty and two — saying, `Ye do not fight with small or with great, but with the king of Israel by himself.`

³²Ko torej vidijo poveljniki vozov Josafata, reko: Gotovo je on kralj Izraelov! In zaženo se bojevat zoper njega; in zavpije Josafat.

³²And it cometh to pass, at the heads of the charioteers seeing Jehoshaphat, that they said, `He [is] only the king of Israel;` and they turn aside to him to fight, and Jehoshaphat crieth out,

³³Ko pa vidijo poveljniki voz, da ni kralj Izraelov, se obrnejo od njega.

³³and it cometh to pass, at the heads of the charioteers seeing that he [is] not the king of Israel, that they turn back from after him.

³⁴Neki mož pa slučajno napne lok in ustreli kralja Izraelovega med stike v oklepu. Tedaj veli svojemu vozniku: Obrni voz in pelji me z bojišča, kajti hudo sem ranjen.

³⁴And a man hath drawn with a bow, in his simplicity, and smiteth the king of Israel between the joinings and the coat of mail, and he saith to his charioteer, `Turn thy hand, and take me out from the camp, for I have become sick.`

³⁵A bitka se je razvnela tisti dan, in kralj je moral stati na vozu Sircem nasproti, in zvečer je umrl; in kri je tekla iz rane na dno voza.

³⁵And the battle increaseth on that day, and the king hath been caused to stand in the chariot, over-against Aram, and he dieth in the evening, and the blood of the wound runneth out unto the midst of the chariot,

³⁶In ko je solnce zahajalo, je šel klic po taborišču: Vsak pojdi v mesto svoje in v kraj svoj,

³⁶and he causeth the cry to pass over through the camp, at the going in of the sun, saying, `Each unto his city, and each unto his land.`

³⁷ker kralj je mrtev! In pripeljali so ga v Samarijo in pokopali v Samariji.

³⁷And the king dieth, and cometh into Samaria, and they bury the king in Samaria;

³⁸In ko so omivali voz pri samarijskem ribniku, so lizali psi kri njegovo in nečistnice so se omivale ž njo po besedi GOSPODOVI, ki jo je bil govoril.

³⁸and [one] rinseth the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs lick his blood — when the armour they had washed — according to the word of Jehovah that He spake.

³⁹In druge zgodbe Ahabove in vse, kar je storil, in slonokoščena hiša, ki jo je postavil, in vsa mesta, ki jih je sezidal, ni li zapisano v knjigi letopisov kraljev Izraelovih?

³⁹And the rest of the matters of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?

⁴⁰Tako je legel Ahab k očetom svojim, in Ahazija, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

⁴⁰And Ahab lieth with his fathers, and Ahaziah his son reigneth in his stead.

⁴¹In Josafat, sin Asov, je zakraljeval nad Judom v četrtem letu Ahaba, kralja Izraelovega.

⁴¹And Jehoshaphat son of Asa hath reigned over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel,

⁴²Josafat pa je bil petintrideset let star, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je petindvajset let v Jeruzalemu. In materi njegovi je bilo ime Azuba, hči Silhijeva.

⁴²Jehoshaphat [is] a son of thirty and five years in his reigning, and twenty and five years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Azubah daughter of Shilhi.

⁴³In hodil je po vsej poti Asa, očeta svojega; ni se ganil od nje in je delal, kar je bilo prav v očeh GOSPODOVIH. [22:44] Toda višave niso bile odpravljene, ljudstvo je še darovalo in žgalo kadilo na višavah.

⁴³And he walketh in all the way of Asa his father, he hath not turned aside from it, to do that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah; only the high places have not turned aside, yet are the people sacrificing and making perfume in high places.

⁴⁴[22:45] In Josafat je imel mir s kraljem Izraelovim.

⁴⁴And Jehoshaphat maketh peace with the king of Israel;

⁴⁵[22:46] Druge pa zgodbe Josafatove in hrabrost njegova, ki jo je dokazal, in kako se je bojeval, ni li pisano v knjigi letopisov kraljev Judovih?

⁴⁵and the rest of the matters of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he got, and with which he fought, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

⁴⁶[22:47] On je tudi spravil iz dežele ostanke nečistoti posvečenih moških, ki so preostali v dneh Asa, očeta njegovega.

⁴⁶And the remnant of the whoremongers who were left in the days of Asa his father he took away out of the land;

⁴⁷[22:48] V Edomu pa ni bilo kralja, namestnik je vladal.

⁴⁷and there is no king in Edom; he set up a king.

⁴⁸[22:49] In Josafat je napravil tarske ladje, ki naj bi šle v Ofir po zlato; a niso šle, ker so se razbile v Ezion-geberju.

⁴⁸Jehoshaphat made ships at Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, and they went not, for the ships were broken in Ezion-Geber.

⁴⁹[22:50] Tedaj je rekel Ahazija, sin Ahabov, Josafatu: Peljejo naj se hlapci moji na ladjah s hlapci tvojimi! A Josafat ni hotel.

⁴⁹Then said Ahaziah son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, `Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships;` and Jehoshaphat was not willing.

⁵⁰[22:51] In Josafat je legel k očetom svojim, in pokopali so ga pri očetih njegovih v mestu Davida, očeta njegovega. In Joram, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

⁵⁰And Jehoshaphat lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of David his father, and Jehoram his son reigneth in his stead.

⁵¹[22:52] Ahazija, sin Ahabov, je zakraljeval nad Izraelom v Samariji v sedemnajstem letu Josafata, kralja Judovega, in je vladal Izraelu dve leti

⁵¹Ahaziah son of Ahab hath reigned over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigneth over Israel two years,

⁵²[22:53] in delal, kar je bilo hudo v očeh GOSPODOVIH, hodeč po poti očeta svojega in po poti matere svoje in po poti Jeroboama, sinu Nebatovega, ki je zapeljeval Izraela v greh.[22:54] In služil je Baalu in se mu poklanjal in dražil v jezo GOSPODA, Boga Izraelovega, po vsem, kakor je bil delal oče njegov.

⁵²and doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and walketh in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat who caused Israel to sin,

⁵³[22:54] In služil je Baalu in se mu poklanjal in dražil v jezo GOSPODA, Boga Izraelovega, po vsem, kakor je bil delal oče njegov.

⁵³and serveth the Baal, and boweth himself to it, and provoketh Jehovah, God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
