¹And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.

¹A hľa, v tom prišiel muž Boží z Judska so slovom Hospodinovým do Bét-ela, keď práve stál Jeroboám nad oltárom, aby kadil.

²And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.

²A zavolal proti oltáru slovom Hospodinovým a riekol: Oltáru, oltáru, takto hovorí Hospodin: Hľa, syn sa narodí domu Dávidovmu, ktorému bude meno Joziáš, ktorý bude obetovať na tebe kňazov výšin, ktorí kadia na tebe kadivo, i ľudské kosti budú páliť na tebe.

³And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.

³A dal i znamenie toho istého dňa povediac: Toto je znamenie, že Hospodin hovoril skrze mňa: Hľa, oltár sa roztrhne, a vysype sa popol, ktorý je na ňom.

⁴And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.

⁴A stalo sa, keď počul kráľ slovo muža Božieho, ktoré volal proti oltáru v Bét-ele, že Jeroboám vystrel svoju ruku sponad oltára a povedal: Chyťte ho! Ale uschla jeho ruka, ktorú vystrel proti nemu, a nemohol ju zase stiahnuť k sebe.

⁵The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.

⁵A oltár sa roztrhol, a vysypal sa popol z oltára podľa znamenia, ktoré dal muž Boží slovom Hospodinovým.

⁶And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Entreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.

⁶Vtedy odpovedal kráľ a riekol mužovi Božiemu: Upokoj, prosím, tvár Hospodina, svojho Boha, a modli sa za mňa, aby sa zase vrátila moja ruka ku mne. A tak modliac sa upokojil muž Boží tvár Hospodinovu, a ruka kráľova sa vrátila k nemu a bola jako predtým.

⁷And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.

⁷Potom hovoril kráľ mužovi Božiemu: Poď so mnou do domu a posilni sa pokrmom, a dám ti dar.

⁸And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:

⁸Ale muž Boží povedal kráľovi: Ani keby si mi dal polovicu svojho domu, nevošiel by som s tebou ani by som nejedol chleba ani by som nepil vody na tomto mieste.

⁹For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.

⁹Lebo tak mi prikázal slovom Hospodinovým povediac: Nebudeš jesť chleba ani nebudeš piť vody ani sa nevrátiš cestou, ktorou si ta išiel.

¹⁰So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.

¹⁰A tak odišiel inou cestou a nevrátil sa cestou, ktorou bol prišiel do Bét-ela.

¹¹Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.

¹¹Ale býval v Bét-ele nejaký starý prorok, ktorého syn prišiel a rozprával mu všetko to, čo učinil muž Boží toho dňa v Bét-ele, i slová, ktoré hovoril kráľovi, a porozprával ich svojmu otcovi.

¹²And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.

¹²A ich otec im hovoril: Kde ktorou cestou išiel? A jeho synovia videli cestu, ktorou išiel muž Boží, ktorý to bol prišiel z Judska.

¹³And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,

¹³Vtedy povedal svojim synom: Osedlajte mi osla, a osedlali mu osla, a sadol na neho.

¹⁴And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.

¹⁴A išiel za mužom Božím a našiel ho sedieť pod tým dubom a riekol mu: Či si to ty ten muž Boží, ktorý prišiel z Judska? A on odpovedal: Som.

¹⁵Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.

¹⁵A riekol mu: Poď so mnou do domu a pojedz chlieb.

¹⁶And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:

¹⁶Ale on povedal: Nemôžem sa vrátiť s tebou a vojsť s tebou ani nebudem jesť chleba ani nebudem piť u teba vody na tomto mieste.

¹⁷For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.

¹⁷Lebo mám prikázané slovom Hospodinovým: Nebudeš jesť chleba ani tam nebudeš piť vody, nevrátiš sa tak, aby si išiel cestou, ktorou si ta išiel.

¹⁸He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.

¹⁸Na to mu riekol: I ja som prorok ako ty, a anjel mi hovoril slovom Hospodinovým a riekol: Vráť ho so sebou do svojho domu, aby pojedol chlieb a napil sa vody. Luhal mu.

¹⁹So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.

¹⁹A vrátil sa s ním a jedol chlieb v jeho dome a pil vodu.

²⁰And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:

²⁰A stalo sa, keď oni sedeli za stolom, že sa stalo slovo Hospodinovo k prorokovi, ktorý ho vrátil,

²¹And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,

²¹a zavolal na muža Božieho, ktorý prišiel z Judska, a riekol: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Preto, že si učinil na odpor tomu, čo povedaly ústa Hospodinove, a neostríhal si prikázania, ktoré ti prikázal Hospodin, tvoj Bôh,

²²But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcass shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.

²²ale si sa vrátil a jedol si chlieb a pil si vodu na mieste, o ktorom ti hovoril: Nejedz tam chleba ani nepi vody, nevojde tvoje mŕtve telo do hrobu tvojich otcov.

²³And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back.

²³A stalo sa, keď zjedol chlieb a keď vypil, že mu osedlal osla, prorokovi, ktorého bol vrátil.

²⁴And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcass was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcass.

²⁴A išiel, a našiel ho lev na ceste a usmrtil ho, a jeho mŕtve telo bolo povrhnuté na ceste, a osol stál vedľa neho, i lev stál vedľa mŕtvoly.

²⁵And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcass cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcass: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.

²⁵A hľa, nejakí mužovia išli tade a videli mŕtvolu, povrhnutú na ceste, i ľva stáť vedľa mŕtvoly, a prijdúc hovorili to v meste, v ktorom býval ten starý prorok.

²⁶And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him.

²⁶Keď to počul prorok, ktorý ho to bol vrátil s cesty, povedal: To je ten muž Boží, ktorý sa sprotivil ústam Hospodinovým; preto ho vydal Hospodin ľvovi, a dolámal ho a usmrtil ho podľa slova Hospodinovho, ktoré mu hovoril.

²⁷And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.

²⁷Potom hovoril svojim synom a riekol: Osedlajte mi osla. A osedlali.

²⁸And he went and found his carcass cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten the carcass, nor torn the ass.

²⁸A odíduc našiel jeho mŕtvolu. povrhnutú na ceste, a osla a ľva stáť vedľa mŕtvoly. Lev nezožral mŕtvoly ani neskrúšil osla.

²⁹And the prophet took up the carcass of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.

²⁹Vtedy vzal prorok mŕtve telo muža Božieho, vyložil ho na osla a dopravil ho zpät. A tak vošiel starý prorok do mesta, aby smútil a aby ho pochoval.

³⁰And he laid his carcass in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!

³⁰A položil jeho mŕtve telo do svojho hrobu, a smútil nad ním hovoriac: Jaj, môj brat!

³¹And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:

³¹A stalo sa, keď už ho bol pochoval, že povedal svojim synom a riekol: Keď zomriem, pochovajte ma do hrobu, v ktorom je pochovaný muž Boží, vedľa jeho kostí položte moje kosti.

³²For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.

³²Lebo istotne sa stane to, čo volal slovom Hospodinovým proti oltáru, ktorý je v Bét-ele, a proti všetkým domom výšin, ktoré sú v mestách Samárie.

³³After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.

³³Po tejto udalosti sa nevrátil Jeroboám so svojej zlej cesty, ale zase narobil kňazov výšin z najposlednejších z ľudu. Kto len chcel, každému naplnil ruku a tak ho vysvätil, a bol kňazom výšin.

³⁴And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.

³⁴A tak to bolo touto vecou, že dom Jeroboámov hrešil, a to tak, aby bol vyplienený a zahladený s povrchu zeme.
