1Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
1In Ahab je povedal Jezabeli vse, kar je storil Elija, tudi, kako je umoril vse proroke z mečem.
2Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I don’t make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time!”
2In pošlje Jezabela sla k Eliju, da sporoči: Bogovi naj mi store to in to naj še pridenejo, ako ne storim jutri ob tem času z življenjem tvojim, kakor si storil z življenjem onih.
3When he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.
3In ko je zvedel to, vstane in odide zaradi življenja svojega in pride v Bersebo na Judovem in pusti ondi hlapca svojega.
4But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough. Now, O Yahweh, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.”
4Sam pa gre dalje v puščavo, en dan hoda, in pride in sede pod brinov grm in prosi zase, da bi umrl, govoreč: Zadosti mi je! sedaj, o GOSPOD, vzemi dušo mojo; kajti nisem boljši nego očetje moji!
5He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat!”
5In leže in zaspi pod brinovim grmom. A glej, angel se ga dotakne in mu veli: Vstani in jej!
6He looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again.
6In se ozre, in glej, pri glavi njegovi je bil kruh, pečen na gorkih kamenih, pa vrč vode. In ko zaužije in se napije, leže zopet.
7The angel of Yahweh came again the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.”
7In angel GOSPODOV pride zopet, v drugič, se ga dotakne in veli: Vstani in jej! kajti predolga je pot zate.
8He arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the Mount of God.
8In vstane in je in pije in potuje v moči tiste jedi štirideset dni in štirideset noči, dokler ne pride do gore Božje, Horeba.
9He came there to a cave, and lodged there; and behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, and he said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
9In ondi pride v votlino in tu prenoči. In glej, beseda GOSPODOVA pride k njemu in mu reče: Kaj tu delaš, Elija?
10He said, “I have been very jealous for Yahweh, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”
10Odgovori: Silno sem gorel za GOSPODA, Boga nad vojskami; zakaj sinovi Izraelovi so zapustili zavezo tvojo, oltarje tvoje so razdrli in proroke tvoje pomorili z mečem, in ostal sem jaz sam, pa še meni strežejo po življenju!
11He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before Yahweh.” Behold, Yahweh passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Yahweh; but Yahweh was not in the wind. After the wind an earthquake; but Yahweh was not in the earthquake.
11In veli mu: Pojdi ven in stopi na goro pred GOSPODA! In glej, GOSPOD je šel mimo, in veter, velik in močan, je podiral gore in razbijal skale pred GOSPODOM; a GOSPODA ni bilo v vetru. Za vetrom pa pride potres, a GOSPODA ni v potresu.
12After the earthquake a fire passed; but Yahweh was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
12In za potresom ogenj, a GOSPODA ni v ognju. In za ognjem tih in mil glas.
13It was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. Behold, a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
13Ko pa to sliši Elija, si zagrne s plaščem obraz ter gre ven in se ustopi ob vhodu v votlino. In glej, glas mu izpregovori: Kaj delaš tu, Elija?
14He said, “I have been very jealous for Yahweh, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”
14On reče: Silno sem gorel za GOSPODA, Boga nad vojskami; zakaj sinovi Izraelovi so zapustili zavezo tvojo, oltarje tvoje so razdrli in proroke tvoje pomorili z mečem, in ostal sem jaz sam, pa še meni strežejo po življenju.
15Yahweh said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael to be king over Syria.
15In GOSPOD mu veli: Pojdi, vrni se svojim potom po puščavi, v Damask; in ko prideš tja, pomazili Hazaela za kralja Siriji.
16You shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel; and you shall anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah to be prophet in your place.
16Jehuja pa, sina Nimsijevega, pomazili za kralja nad Izraelom, in Elizeja, sina Safatovega, iz Abel-mehole, pomazili za proroka namesto sebe.
17It shall happen, that he who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.
17In zgodi se, da kdor ubeži meču Hazaelovemu, ga umori Jehu, in kdor ubeži meču Jehujevemu, ga umori Elizej.
18Yet will I leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which has not kissed him.”
18Storil sem pa, da mi jih ostane sedem tisoč v Izraelu, vsa kolena, ki se niso pripogibala gred Baalom, in vsaka usta, ki ga niso poljubljala.
19So he departed there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing, with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed over to him, and cast his mantle on him.
19In odide odondod ter zaloti Elizeja, sina Safatovega, da orje z dvanajstimi jarmi volov pred seboj, sam pa je bil pri dvanajstem. In Elija stopi k njemu in vrže svoj plašč na njega.
20He left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, “Let me please kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” He said to him, “Go back again; for what have I done to you?”
20In on popusti voli in teče za Elijem in reče: Dovoli mi, prosim, da poljubim očeta svojega in mater svojo, in potem pojdem za teboj! Ta mu veli: Idi, vrni se! Kajti kaj sem ti storil?In se obrne in odide od njega in vzame jarem volov ter ju zakolje; in skuha meso pri opravi, ki je bila na volih, in da ljudstvu, in so jedli. Potem vstane in hodi za Elijem in mu streže.
21He returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and served him.
21In se obrne in odide od njega in vzame jarem volov ter ju zakolje; in skuha meso pri opravi, ki je bila na volih, in da ljudstvu, in so jedli. Potem vstane in hodi za Elijem in mu streže.
