¹And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

¹A stalo sa, keď už mal Hospodin vziať Eliáša vo víchrici hore do neba, že odišiel Eliáš s Elizeom z Gilgala.

²And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.

²A Eliáš riekol Elizeovi: Zostaň tu, prosím, lebo Hospodin ma poslal až do Bét-ela. Ale Elizeus odpovedal: Ako že žije Hospodin, a jako žije tvoja duša, že ťa neopustím. A tak sišli dolu do Bét-ela.

³And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.

³Vtedy vyšli synovia prorokov, ktorí boli v Bét-ele, k Elizeovi a povedali mu: Či vieš, že dnes vezme Hospodin tvojho pána zponad tvojej hlavy? A odpovedal: Viem i ja, mlčte!

⁴And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.

⁴Potom mu riekol Eliáš: Elizee, zostaň tu, prosím, lebo Hospodin ma poslal do Jericha. Ale on povedal: Ako že žije Hospodin, a jako žije tvoja duša, že ťa neopustím. A tak prišli do Jericha.

⁵And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.

⁵A pristúpili synovia prorokov, ktorí boli v Jerichu, k Elizeovi a povedali mu: Či vieš, že dnes vezme Hospodin tvojho pána zponad tvojej hlavy? A odpovedal: Viem i ja, mlčte.

⁶And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.

⁶Vtedy mu zase riekol Eliáš: Zostaň tu, prosím, lebo Hospodin ma poslal k Jordánu. Ale on povedal: Ako že žije Hospodin, a jako žije tvoja duša, že ťa neopustím. A tak išli obidvaja spolu.

⁷And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.

⁷A išli aj päťdesiati mužovia zo synov prorokov a postavili sa naproti zďaleka, a oni dvaja stáli pri Jordáne.

⁸And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.

⁸A Eliáš vezmúc svoj plášť svinul ho a uderil vodu, ktorá sa rozdelila sem i ta, a prešli obaja po suchu.

⁹And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.

⁹A stalo sa, keď prešli, že Eliáš riekol Elizeovi: Žiadaj, čo ti mám učiniť, prv ako budem vzatý od teba. A Elizeus povedal: Nech je, prosím, dvojnásobný diel tvojho ducha na mne.

¹⁰And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.

¹⁰Na to mu riekol: Ťažkú vec si žiadal; ale ak ma uvidíš, keď budem vzatý od teba, nech ti je tak, a jestli nie, nebude.

¹¹And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

¹¹A stalo sa, jako tak išli pozvoľna a shovárali sa, že hľa, ohnivý voz a ohnivé kone ich oddelily jedného od druhého, a tak vystúpil Eliáš vo víchrici hore do neba.

¹²And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.

¹²A Elizeus to videl a hľadiac na to kričal: Môj otče, môj otče! Vozy Izraelove a jeho jazdcovia! A viacej ho nevidel. A pochytiac svoje rúcho roztrhnul ho na dva kusy.

¹³He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;

¹³Potom zdvihol plášť Eliášov, ktorý bol spadol s neho a vrátiac sa zastál na brehu Jordána.

¹⁴And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.

¹⁴A vzal plášť Eliášov, ktorý spadol s neho, uderil vodu a riekol: Kdeže je Hospodin, Bôh Eliášov? Áno, on! A vtedy uderil vodu, ktorá sa rozdelila sem i ta, a Elizeus prešiel.

¹⁵And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.

¹⁵Keď ho potom uvideli synovia prorokov, ktorí boli v Jerichu, naproti, povedali: Duch Eliášov spočinul na Elizeovi, a prijdúc mu vústrety poklonili sa mu k zemi.

¹⁶And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.

¹⁶A povedali mu: Hľa, prosíme, je medzi tvojimi služobníkmi päťdesiat mocných mužov; nech idú, prosíme, a hľadajú tvojho pána, aby ho snáď nebol nejako odniesol Duch Hospodinov a nepohodil ho na niektorom vrchu alebo na niektorej doline. A on povedal: Neposielajte!

¹⁷And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.

¹⁷Ale keď len dlho dobíjali do neho, riekol: Pošlite. A tak poslali päťdesiatich mužov, ktorí hľadali tri dni, ale pravda ho nenašli.

¹⁸And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?

¹⁸A keď sa navrátili k nemu, keďže býval v Jerichu, riekol im: Či som vám nepovedal: Nechoďte!?

¹⁹And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.

¹⁹A mužovia mesta povedali Elizeovi: Hľa, prosím, bývať v tomto meste je dobre, jako vidí môj pán, ale voda je zlá, a preto zem pustne sirobou.

²⁰And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.

²⁰A riekol: Doneste mi novú šialku a dajte do nej soli. A doniesli mu.

²¹And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.

²¹Vtedy vyšiel k prameňu vody a vysypúc do neho soľ povedal: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Uzdravujem túto vodu. Nebude viacej odtiaľ smrti ani siroby.

²²So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.

²²A voda je uzdravená až do tohoto dňa podľa slova Elizeovho, ktoré hovoril.

²³And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

²³Potom odišiel odtiaľ hore do Bét-ela. A keď išiel hore cestou, vyšli malí chlapci z mesta, posmievali sa mu a povedali mu: Iď hore, plešivý! Iď hore, plešivý!

²⁴And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

²⁴A on obzrúc sa nazpät a uvidiac ich zlorečil im v mene Hospodinovom. Na to vyšly dve medvedice z lesa a roztrhaly z nich štyridsaťdva detí.

²⁵And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.

²⁵A odišiel odtiaľ na vrch Karmel a zase odtiaľ sa navrátil do Samárie.
