¹Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.

¹Potom po smrti Achabovej sprotivil sa Moáb Izraelovi.

²And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.

²A Achaziáš spadol cez mrežu na svojom hornom príbytku svojho paláca, ktorý bol v Samárii, a onemocnel. Vtedy poslal poslov a povedal im: Iďte, opýtajte sa Bál-zebúba, boha mesta Ekrona, či vyjdem z tejto svojej nemoci a budem žiť?

³But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?

³Ale anjel Hospodinov hovoril Eliášovi Tišbänskému: Vstaň, iď hore vústrety poslom kráľa Samárie a hovor im: Či preto, že niet Boha v Izraelovi, idete sa pýtať Bál-zebúba, boha Ekrona?

⁴Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.

⁴Preto takto hovorí Hospodin: S lože, na ktorú si vyšiel, viacej nesídeš, ale istotne zomrieš. Potom odišiel Eliáš.

⁵And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back?

⁵A keď sa navrátili poslovia k nemu, povedal im: Prečo ste sa vrátili?

⁶And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

⁶A oni mu odpovedali: Nejaký muž nám vyšiel hore vústrety a povedal nám: Iďte, vráťte sa ku kráľovi, ktorý vás poslal, a hovorte mu: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Či preto, že niet Boha v Izraelovi, posielaš sa pýtať Bál-zebúba, boha Ekrona? Preto s lože, na ktorú si vyšiel, viacej nesídeš, ale istotne zomrieš.

⁷And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?

⁷A hovoril im: Aký je spôsob muža, ktorý vám vyšiel hore vústrety a hovoril vám tie slová?

⁸And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.

⁸A oni mu povedali: Je to vlasatý človek a je opásaný koženým pásom na svojich bedrách. Vtedy povedal: To je Eliáš Tišbänský.

⁹Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.

⁹A poslal k nemu veliteľa nad päťdesiatimi a jeho päťdesiatich, a tak išiel k nemu hore. A hľa, sedel hore na vrchu. A hovoril mu: Mužu Boží, kráľ hovoril: Sídi!

¹⁰And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

¹⁰Ale Eliáš odpovedal a hovoril veliteľovi nad päťdesiatimi: A jestli som ja muž Boží, nech sostúpi oheň s neba a strávi teba i tvojich päťdesiatich! A sostúpil oheň s neba a strávil jeho i jeho päťdesiatich.

¹¹Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.

¹¹Opät poslal k nemu iného veliteľa nad päťdesiatimi i jeho päťdesiatich, ktorý odpovedajúc vravel mu: Mužu Boží, takto hovorí kráľ: Sídi rýchle!

¹²And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

¹²A Eliáš odpovedal a hovoril im: Ak som ja muž Boží, nech sostúpi oheň s neba a strávi teba i tvojich päťdesiatich! A sostúpil oheň Boží s neba a strávil jeho i jeho päťdesiatich.

¹³And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.

¹³A zase poslal veliteľa nad päťdesiatimi, tretieho, i jeho päťdesiatich. A tak odišiel hore a prišiel ten tretí veliteľ nad päťdesiatimi a kľaknúc na svoje kolená naproti pred Eliášom prosil ho pokorne a hovoril mu: Mužu Boží, prosím, nech je drahá moja duša a duša týchto tvojich päťdesiat služobníkov v tvojich očiach!

¹⁴Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.

¹⁴Hľa, oheň sostúpil s neba a strávil dvoch prvých veliteľov nad päťdesiatimi aj ich päťdesiatich; ale teraz nech je drahou moja duša v tvojich očiach.

¹⁵And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.

¹⁵A anjel Hospodinov hovoril Eliášovi: Sídi s nimi, neboj sa jeho tvári. Vtedy vstal a sišiel s ním ku kráľovi.

¹⁶And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

¹⁶A hovoril mu: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Preto, že si poslal poslov pýtať sa Bál-zebúba, boha Ekrona, jako keby nebolo Boha v Izraelovi, aby si sa opýtal jeho slova, preto s lože, na ktorú si vyšiel, viacej nesídeš, ale istotne zomrieš.

¹⁷So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.

¹⁷A tak zomrel podľa slova Hospodinovho, ktoré hovoril Eliáš, a kraľoval Jehorám miesto neho v druhom roku Jehoráma, syna Jozafatovho, judského kráľa, lebo nemal syna.

¹⁸Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

¹⁸A ostatné deje Achaziášove, čo robil, či nie je to napísané v knihe letopisov kráľov Izraelových?
