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

¹And it cometh to pass, at Jehovah`s taking up Elijah in a whirlwind to the heavens, that Elijah goeth, and Elisha, from Gilgal,

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.

²and Elijah saith unto Elisha, `Abide, I pray thee, here, for Jehovah hath sent me unto Beth-El;` and Elisha saith, `Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, if I leave thee;` and they go down to Beth-El.

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!

³And sons of the prophets who [are] in Beth-El come out unto Elisha, and say unto him, `Hast thou known that to-day Jehovah is taking thy lord from thy head?` and he saith, `I also have known — keep silent.`

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.

⁴And Elijah saith to him, `Elisha, abide, I pray thee, here, for Jehovah hath sent me to Jericho;` and he saith, `Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, if I leave thee;` and they come in to Jericho.

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.

⁵And sons of the prophets who [are] in Jericho come nigh unto Elisha, and say unto him, `Hast thou known that to-day Jehovah is taking thy lord from thy head?` and he saith, `I also have known — keep silent.`

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.

⁶And Elijah saith to him, `Abide, I pray thee, here, for Jehovah hath sent me to the Jordan;` and he saith, `Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, if I leave thee;` and they go on both of them,

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

⁷— and fifty men of the sons of the prophets have gone on, and stand over-against afar off — and both of them have stood by the Jordan.

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

⁸And Elijah taketh his robe, and wrappeth [it] together, and smiteth the waters, and they are halved, hither and thither, and they pass over both of them on dry land.

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.

⁹And it cometh to pass, at their passing over, that Elijah hath said unto Elisha, `Ask, what do I do for thee before I am taken from thee?` and Elisha saith, `Then let there be, I pray thee, a double portion of thy spirit unto me;`

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.

¹⁰and he saith, `Thou hast asked a hard thing; if thou dost see me taken from thee, it is to thee so; and if not, it is not.`

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.

¹¹And it cometh to pass, they are going, going on and speaking, and lo, a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and they separate between them both, and Elijah goeth up in a whirlwind, to the heavens.

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.

¹²And Elisha is seeing, and he is crying, `My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its horsemen;` and he hath not seen him again; and he taketh hold on his garments, and rendeth them into two pieces.

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

¹³And he taketh up the robe of Elijah, that fell from off him, and turneth back and standeth on the edge of the Jordan,

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.

¹⁴and he taketh the robe of Elijah that fell from off him, and smiteth the waters, and saith, `Where [is] Jehovah, God of Elijah — even He?` and he smiteth the waters, and they are halved, hither and thither, and Elisha passeth over.

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.

¹⁵And they see him — the sons of the prophets who [are] in Jericho — over-against, and they say, `Rested hath the spirit of Elijah on Elisha;` and they come to meet him, and bow themselves to him to the earth,

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!

¹⁶and say unto him, `Lo, we pray thee, there are with thy servants fifty men, sons of valour: let them go, we pray thee, and they seek thy lord, lest the Spirit of Jehovah hath taken him up, and doth cast him on one of the hills, or into one of the valleys;` and he saith, `Ye do not send.`

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

¹⁷And they press upon him, till he is ashamed, and he saith, `Send ye;` and they send fifty men, and they seek three days, and have not found him;

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

¹⁸and they turn back unto him — and he is abiding in Jericho — and he saith unto them, `Did I not say unto you, Do not go?`

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.

¹⁹And the men of the city say unto Elisha, `Lo, we pray thee, the site of the city [is] good, as my lord seeth, and the waters [are] bad, and the earth sterile.`

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

²⁰And he saith, `Bring to me a new dish, and place there salt;` and they bring [it] unto him,

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

²¹and he goeth out unto the source of the waters, and casteth there salt, and saith, `Thus said Jehovah, I have given healing to these waters; there is not thence any more death and sterility.`

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

²²And the waters are healed unto this day, according to the word of Elisha, that he spake.

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!

²³And he goeth up thence to Beth-El, and he is going up in the way, and little youths have come out from the city, and scoff at him, and say to him, `Go up, bald-head! go up, bald-head!`

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.

²⁴And he looketh behind him, and seeth them, and declareth them vile in the name of Jehovah, and two bears come out of the forest, and rend of them forty and two lads.

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

²⁵And he goeth thence unto the hill of Carmel, and thence he hath turned back to Samaria.
