¹It happened after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

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

²Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near to my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”

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.

³Naboth said to Ahab, “May Yahweh forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”

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

⁴Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

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.

⁵But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?”

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

⁶He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’”

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!

⁷Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”

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.

⁸So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, who lived with Naboth.

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.

⁹She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

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

¹⁰Set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him to death.”

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.

¹¹The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.

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.

¹²They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

¹²Razglasijo post in posade Nabota med prvake ljudstva.

¹³The two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him. The base fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.

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.

¹⁴Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and is dead.”

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

¹⁵It happened, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but 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.

¹⁶It happened, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

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

¹⁷The word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

¹⁷A beseda GOSPODOVA pride Eliju Tisbljanu, veleč:

¹⁸“Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.

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.

¹⁹You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’”

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.

²⁰Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh.

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.

²¹Behold, I will bring evil on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, or, male and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.

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

²²I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.”

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.

²³Yahweh also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.

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

²⁴The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field.”

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

²⁵But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

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.

²⁶He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.

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.)

²⁷It happened, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

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.

²⁸The word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

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.

²⁹“See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son’s days will I bring the evil on his house.”

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.
