¹Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab.

¹A tedy Jozafat mal veľké bohatstvo a veľkú slávu. Ale sa spriaznil s Achabom.

²And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead.

²Potom po rokoch odišiel k Achabovi dolu do Samárie. A Achab nabil pre neho drobného dobytka a volov, množstvo, i pre ľud, ktorý prišiel s ním a nahováral ho, aby išiel hore proti Rámot-gileáda.

³And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war.

³A Achab, izraelský kráľ, povedal Jozafatovi, judskému kráľovi: Či pojdeš so mnou do Rámot-gileáda? A on mu odpovedal: Ja som ako ty, a môj ľud ako tvoj ľud, a budem s tebou v tom boji.

⁴And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.

⁴Potom riekol Jozafat izraelskému kráľovi: Opýtaj sa dnes, prosím, na slovo Hospodinovo.

⁵Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king's hand.

⁵A izraelský kráľ shromaždil prorokov štyristo mužov a povedal im: Či máme ísť do Rámot-gileáda do vojny, a či mám nechať tak? A oni odpovedali: Iď hore, a Bôh ho dá do ruky kráľovej.

⁶But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?

⁶Ale Jozafat riekol: Či tu už neni proroka Hospodinovho, aby sme sa opýtali toho?

⁷And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

⁷Na to povedal izraelský kráľ Jozafatovi: Je tu ešte jeden muž, skrze ktorého by bolo možno opýtať sa Hospodina; ale ja ho nenávidím, lebo mi nikdy neprorokuje dobrého, ale vždycky zlé. Je to Micheáš, syn Jimlu. Avšak Jozafat povedal: Nech tak nehovorí kráľ!

⁸And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.

⁸Vtedy zavolal izraelský kráľ jedného komorníka a povedal: Doveď sem rýchle Micheáša, syna Jimlu!

⁹And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

⁹Medzitým izraelský kráľ a Jozafat, judský kráľ, sedeli každý na svojom tróne, odiati kráľovským rúchom. A sedeli na voľnom priestore pri vchode do brány mesta Samárie. A všetci tí proroci prorokovali pred nimi.

¹⁰And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed.

¹⁰A Cedekiáš, syn Kenaánov, si bol spravil železné rohy a povedal: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Týmito budeš drgať Sýrov, dokiaľ len im neučiníš konca.

¹¹And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

¹¹A všetci proroci prorokovali tak a vraveli: Iď hore do Rámot-gileáda a konaj šťastne, a Hospodin dá do ruky kráľovej.

¹²And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good.

¹²A posol, ktorý išiel zavolať Micheáša, mu hovoril: Hľa, slová prorokov, ako by jednými ústy, predpovedajú kráľovi dobré veci; nech je tedy, prosím, tvoje slovo jako slovo niektorého z nich, a hovor dobré.

¹³And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak.

¹³Ale Micheáš riekol: Ako že žije Hospodin, že to, čo povie môj Bôh, iba to budem hovoriť.

¹⁴And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.

¹⁴Keď potom prišiel ku kráľovi, povedal mu kráľ: Micheášu, či máme ísť proti Rámot-gileáda do vojny, a či mám nechať tak? A on riekol: Iďte hore a konajte šťastne, a budú daní do vašej ruky.

¹⁵And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD?

¹⁵A kráľ mu povedal: Koľko ráz ťa mám zaviazať prísahou, že mi nebudeš hovoriť iné ako pravdu v mene Hospodinovom?

¹⁶Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace.

¹⁶Vtedy riekol: Videl som všetok ľud Izraelov rozptýlený po vrchoch ako ovce, ktoré nemajú pastiera. A Hospodin riekol: Títo nemajú pána; nech sa navrátia každý do svojho domu v pokoji.

¹⁷And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?

¹⁷Na to povedal izraelský kráľ Jozafatovi: Či som ti nepovedal, že mi nebude prorokovať dobré, ale iba zlé?

¹⁸Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.

¹⁸A ešte riekol: Preto počujte slovo Hospodinovo: Videl som Hospodina sedieť na jeho tróne, a všetko vojsko nebies stálo po jeho pravici a po jeho ľavici.

¹⁹And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.

¹⁹A Hospodin riekol: Kto oklame Achaba, izraelského kráľa, aby odišiel hore a padol v Rámot-gileáda? Na to hovoril ktorý čo, jeden hovoril to, a druhý hovoril iné.

²⁰Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith?

²⁰Vtedy vyšiel nejaký duch a postavil sa pred Hospodinom a povedal: Ja ho oklamem. A Hospodin mu riekol: Akým spôsobom?

²¹And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so.

²¹A on odpovedal: Vyjdem a budem lživým duchom v ústach všetkých jeho prorokov. Na to mu riekol: Oklameš, aj zmôžeš, vyjdi a učiň tak!

²²Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee.

²²A teraz hľa, Hospodin dal lživého ducha do úst týchto tvojich prorokov, a Hospodin hovoril proti tebe zlé.

²³Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?

²³Vtedy pristúpil Cedekiáš, syn Kenaánov a uderil Micheáša na líce a povedal: Kde - ktorou cestou odišiel duch Hospodinov odo mňa, aby hovoril tebe?

²⁴And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

²⁴Na to riekol Micheáš: Hľa, uvidíš toho dňa, keď pojdeš z izby do izby, aby si sa skryl.

²⁵Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

²⁵A izraelský kráľ povedal: Pojmite Micheáša, a zaveďte ho zpät k Amonovi, kniežaťu mesta, a k Joašovi, synovi kráľovmu.

²⁶And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.

²⁶A poviete: Takto hovorí kráľ: Vsaďte tohoto do žalára a dávajte mu jesť chlieb súženia a piť vodu súženia, dokiaľ sa nenavrátim v pokoji.

²⁷And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, then hath not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people.

²⁷Ale Micheáš povedal: Ak sa ty naozaj navrátiš v pokoji, nehovoril Hospodin skrze mňa. A doložil: Počujte to, ľudia, všetci!

²⁸So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.

²⁸A tak odišiel hore izraelský kráľ i Jozafat, judský kráľ, proti Rámot-gileáda.

²⁹And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and I will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.

²⁹A izraelský kráľ povedal Jozafatovi: Prestrojiť sa, a tak ísť do boja; ale ty si len obleč svoje rúcho. A tedy sa prestrojil izraelský kráľ, a tak išli do boja.

³⁰Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.

³⁰A sýrsky kráľ prikázal veliteľom nad svojimi vozmi a riekol: Nebojujte ani s malým ani s veľkým, ale iba s izraelským kráľom samotným.

³¹And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.

³¹A bolo, keď uvideli velitelia nad vozmi Jozafata, že riekli: To je izraelský kráľ! A obrátili sa dookola proti nemu bojovať. Vtedy skríkol Jozafat, a Hospodin mu pomohol, a Bôh ich odvábil od neho.

³²For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing him.

³²A stalo sa, keď uvideli velitelia nad vozmi, že to nie je izraelský kráľ, že sa obrátili preč od neho.

³³And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.

³³V tom nejaký muž natiahol lučište vo svojej prostote a postrelil izraelského kráľa tam, kde sa pancier spojuje. Preto povedal vozkovi: Obráť svoje ruky a vyvez ma z vojska, lebo som nemocný.

³⁴And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the sun going down he died.

³⁴A keď sa rozmohol boj toho dňa, premáhal sa izraelský kráľ a stál na voze naproti Sýrom až do večera a zomrel o čase, keď zapádalo slnko.
